Bella stood up, "I am sir, my name is Bella Beauté, what can I help you with?" She held out her hand. He stared at it but could not take in, "It is improper to sit out in front of my home and have a picnic. There is a park down the road eat there." "I do apologize sir. We will do that from now on. Is there anything else?" Bella tried to keep calm. With out a word he stormed back into his home. There was still 40 minutes for lunch so they packed up their lunch and headed to the park. From the window he watched the little girl drive away. 'Bella Beauté... Beauté is french for beauty and she was a beauty.' [The book is also full of fairytales Bella loves to read]

First kiss (18)

Zane would not give up. He found the door unlocked so went in.

He went room to room looking for his beauty till he came upon a door decorated in roses. He slowly opened to see his beauty on the bed reading with headphones on.

He walked over. Bella felt the room turn cold and looked up to see the Beast glaring at her.

She pulled off her headphones, "Why are you here?"

"Do you think you can just quit you job like that?" He yells.

"I can't work for your fiancée." She said.

"She is not my fiancée. I finally got rid of her and found you gone." He sat down on her bed.

"Sorry, I'll come back then. I just didn't know and I really can't work for her." Bella was scared at his anger right now.

He reached over and pulled her into his lap, "Please don't leave like that again. I can't take it."

She went a little stiff at his nearness. She took a deep breath. He smelled really good. "Ok, please let me go now."

He looked down into her face. At that moment he leaned down and kissed her. She tasted of strawberry wine. He wanted more so he forced her lips open with his tongue and drove it deeper.

Bella pushed him and tried to stop him but his kiss went deeper and deeper and she could not help but moan.

When he finally released her she slapped him hard.

He just smiled and walked out "Be there at 6 tomorrow I have to give you new keys and set you in the new access."

She just sat there stunned.

When her brother and father came home she told them about her sisters and visiting the school.

Betty was the first one home. "How was class today?" Her Father asked.

"Good we had a quiz." She said.

"Let me see what you are studying. I just got you new text books."

Her eyes went big. "I left my books in my locker. I did not need them tonight."

"Bret take you sister back to school I want to see her books." There father said.

"Daddy, please the school is locked up now. I'll bring them home tomorrow." Betty was trying to figure out what she could do.

"Funny thing, Bella went to the school to find you and your sister. Come to find out you don't go to school there. What are you doing with all the money Bella and I give you?" their father was now mad.

"Shopping." She says with her head lowered.

Just as her father was about to explode Babs comes home and the question start over.

"Bella worked three jobs and got sick to pay for school. She gave up a lot and she is your baby sister. No more money. You both have to find jobs by the end of the week you hear me. If not then we start selling your things."

"Bella if you would like to go to school now we'll help." Bret said.

"I can start with night classes. My job now is easier and I'm sure I can take study breaks. I would like to study business so I can one day start my own" She says.

Her father has always been proud of her and knows he never has to worry much about her future.

That night she continued to read.

◇◇◇♡♡♡◇◇◇THE LITTLE BROTHER AND SISTER

The Sister, however, was terribly afraid when she saw that her Fawn was wounded, and, washing off the blood, she put herbs upon the foot, and said, "Go and rest upon your bed, dear Fawn, that your wound may heal."

It was so slight, that the next morning he felt nothing of it, and when he heard the hunting cries outside, he exclaimed, "I cannot stop away--I must be there, and none shall catch me so easily again!"

The Sister wept very much and told him, "Soon will they kill you, and I shall be here alone in this forest, forsaken by all the world: I cannot let you go."

"I shall die here in vexation," answered the Fawn, "if you do not, for when I hear the horn, I think I shall jump out of my skin."

The Sister, finding she could not prevent him, opened the door, with a heavy heart, and the Fawn jumped out, quite delighted, into the forest.

As soon as the King perceived him, he said to his huntsmen, "Follow him all day long till the evening, but let no one do him any harm."

Then when the sun had set, the King asked his huntsman to show him the hut; and as they came to it he knocked at the door and said, "Let me in, dear Sister."

Upon this the door opened, and, stepping in, the King saw a maiden more beautiful than he had ever beheld before.

She was frightened when she saw not her Fawn, but a man enter, who had a golden crown upon his head.

But the King, looking at her with a kindly glance, held out to her his hand, saying, "Will you go with me to my castle, and be my dear wife?"

"Oh, yes," replied the maiden; "but the Fawn must go too: him I will never forsake."

The King replied, "He shall remain with you as long as you live, and shall never want."

The King took the beautiful maiden upon his horse, and rode to his castle, where the wedding was celebrated with great splendor and she became Queen, and they lived together a long time; while the Fawn was taken care of and played about the castle garden.

The wicked stepmother, however, on whose account the children had wandered forth into the world, had supposed that long ago the Sister had been torn into pieces by the wild beasts, and the little Brother in his Fawn's shape hunted to death by the hunters.

As soon, therefore, as she heard how happy they had become, and how everything prospered with them, envy and jealousy were aroused in her wicked heart, and left her no peace; and she was always thinking in what way she could bring misfortune upon them.
