Life Events (Gold and open)

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

It was Saturday morning. Belle had not seen much of her husband lately. She understood that he was busy. But he always was. It seemed lately he was more busy than usual. A lot were important to him but Belle had always thought that she was too. Still, she loved him and was trying to find ways to spend more time with him. That is what brought her to the Antique and Pawn shop.

Belle walked into the shop to find it empty. She knew her husband was here however. Belle was dressed nicely but causally. Her heeled boots clicked on the wooden floor as she made her way to the counter. She knocked on the wood of the counter and then smiled. "Hello?" She called with a smile. While she was waiting, Belle looked around the store. There were so many interesting things in here. She picked up a fairly large gold coin in her hand and twirled it between her fingers.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold was in the back, when he heard the bell above the door ring he got up, as he heard his wifes words he smiled as he moved out form the back "My dear wife you look beautiful as always, it is good to see you what brings you here?" He always enjoyed his wifes company he knew he was busy alote right now, he was trying to get time for his wife of more time. Yet he still had the rent to get the busness to run & the list he swore grew more now with someone wanting somthing or another, he did not being away form his wife for long yet things where not allowing him to do so, at least right now. He moved to the counter as he moved to kiss his wife as he waited for her answer. He needed to find more time for his wife, like before hand yet he was not sure how to do it, unless he cut back on the time he worked somthing he was use to doing, yet perhaps it was an option he could try to get some more free time.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Her smile grew when he came out of the back room. "Thank you." She purred at his compliment. She returned the kiss sweetly and then smiled once more. "Well," She started. "I was thinking its Saturday, we haven't had much time to be together, maybe lunch at Granny's?"

There were better restaurants in town but really she figured he would not have a whole lot of time so a fancier restaurant was not a possibly. It didn't matter where they ate anyways. Belle just wanted to have the enjoyment of his company. She tilted her head to the side and waited for him to answer.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He returned her smile more, with her words on satday he signed in wordly with her words his smile felt "I know we see very little of each other & I would like to spend more time with you Belle" He signed as he looked down before looking up at Belle "I am sorry Belle, I have an appointment coming up at that time, perhaps we could set somthing up, for after saturday?" He was hopful that she would not be overly disapointed, yet had a feeling he would disapoing even when the appointemnt was important it would see they had money coming in for the rest of thier days.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Belle's smile vanished slowly as he spoke and Belle looked down at the floor. She nodded softly and then said. "Of course... I understand." She tried to keep her face natural as she met his eyes again. "Another time." She added. "Enjoy your meeting." Belle told him now and then with one more small smile, she turned and left the store without looking back. She didn't even kiss him goodbye. When she reached the door, she did hesitate for a moment but then opened the door and left.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He heard her words "Belle please" Of course he did not miss her words or tone, he knew he had upset her & he would have to make up for it, if he was lucky perhaps he could finish with his meeting early & surprise her with showing up at the dinner. She said nothing more to him, as she left not even a kiss goodbye & he felt a bit of sting for it, of course it was his fault in many ways he just did not know she had it planned if he had he would of worked around it. He saw the door close behind his wife & he signed, as he looked down feeling like a great weight had been put on his shoulders, with that he headed to the back where the got his photo out to make a call about seeing if the meeting could be started a bit early he did want to spend time with Belle & he felt it was best to show her he still did cherish that time with her.

Time had passed before the meeting started of course when it did Gold was thinking of Belle & not fully on the meeting, but it did go well in the end even if the person had to say something to him twice & a deal was made one that had been drawn up Gold made sure to see the deal was as it should be the only time his focus did not shift total off topic before he signed it & dated it like the other person. The deal had been many things in one, one thing was to buy the library fully, bring in more books for the library that where needed of course something he was sure Belle would like. having it to be fixed up fully since it had not been used for a bit.

It also would allow Belle if she wanted to have more space put in or something else done, as she wanted form more area for books as well people. Another deal had been to allow Belle to publish any book she would like, something they did not speak greatly on, but he knew she loved kids & it would allow her to write & get kids books put out or other stories if she so wished. The rest for the deals did not matter right now as he said his good byes & moved to get closed up, the paper work went into his pawn show save where another copy was sent home for safe keeping, he took the key to the library placing them in his pants pockets before heading to turn off the lights to his shop & locking up. Once done he only topped to pick up a red rose form the flower show before heading off to meet up with his wife.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Belle was disappointed to say the least. If not a little angry. Fine, he didn't want to go have lunch with her? Then she would have lunch by herself. Belle tried to relax as she made her way along the side walk to Granny's. She had had her hair up in a jeweled clip but now she removed the clip and her dark hair fell down around her shoulders. She wondered for the first time if she embarrassed her husband.

Belle knew that she was still learning somethings. Maybe she asked stupid questions... She frowned slightly as she hesitated on the sidewalk. Belle felt inadequate. It was not going to help matters just standing there so she began walking again and when she reached the restaurant, she turned inside. Belle smiled to Ruby and then walked to a booth and sat slowly.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

The man entered the dinner, he had the looks of a god in many ways, with white skin, with blue eyes & blond hair, he was dressed in a white t-shirt, with blue jeans. He was new here perhaps the reason he did not fear letting his eyes roam on the woman in the both, he watched her a moment before he appoched her once thier he spoke "Hello.. Might I join you?" He waited for her to speak, for he would ether be joining her or notat the both of course if he knew she was married to the dark one he would of avoided such a thing unsure how the dark one would take it & he knew that know would like to be aginst the dark one.

(I likely should wait to bring Gold in for right now)

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Ruby had just brought her a laminated menu and Belle opened it slowly. She had no idea what she wanted. She had planned to have been able to have a conversation while deciding. Belle looked up in surprise at the voice "Hello.. Might I join you?" Belle was silent for a moment. Okay, so she was a married woman but that did not stop her from... admiring... This man was very attractive.

Belle realized that she was sitting there staring at him like a hormonal teenaged girl. Belle cleared her throat softly and then nodded. "Of course." She told him now. It was not like anyone else would be arriving. Belle found herself looking at him again. She toyed with a piece of her hair as she took him in. He was cute. It was a good thing now one could read her mind.

Clearly he was near her age but Belle liked his baby face. She looked back at the menu again trying to take her mind off him. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ruby watching her. Belle tried to ignore her.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He smiled with her words as if thinking seating with her would get him some place better then standing to her to speak, taking a seat a cross form her he smiled again "Thank you, I am new here & this place looked like a nice place to cheek out" As if forgetting he forgot to say his name he held his hand out as he spoke "I am sorry, my name is Devon" He smiled to her of course he did not miss as the waitress, as she came over to hand him a menu, he thanked her & she left yet he had a feeling she was starting at him for some reason that he did not know. As he looked over the menu, he looked over at Belle as he spoke "I hate to ask, but could you recommended anything that is good here?" Of coure he could of picked with out her, but he saw it as a chance to hear her speak & talk to him, she was an interesting person he could already tell that & he would enjoy getting to know her in more then one way, his mind ran away for a moment on the idea before he could rein in his thoughts. He did not notice her ring on, for he was looking at her face more then he should & he could not say his eyes did not linger in other areas, he just tried not to make it noticed.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

When he offered a hand and name, Belle looked up at him again. "Pardon me," She said politely, she placed he small hand in his larger one in a shake. "I'm Belle." She almost added her last name but decided against it just in case. "Welcome to Storybrooke." She did not know if he was someone from the fairytale world or just someone wondering through. She had never seen him before. She would have remembered that face. Ruby had returned with a Pepsi for Belle and a menu for Devon. She hesitated a bit and Belle glanced at her now a shrugged slightly. Ruby moved back behind the counter. "I hate to ask, but could you recommended anything that is good here?" Devon asked her. Belle looked over the menu. She did not know what to recommend. She did not know about a lot of different types of food. She didn't want to seem foolish. "The Hamburgers and fries are... good." She finally replied. When she was ready, Belle ordered a chicken Cesar salad. Once he had ordered, they were left alone once more and Belle sipped from her drink not sure what to say.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He smiled with her welcome "Thanks I am hopping to find a place to rent, I suppose that will be my next thing to do after eatting" He laughed lightly with her other words he smiled "It is nice to meet you Belle" The name suited her of course, she was a woman that any man would be happy with & he was one of those men that could see him self happy with of course. With her thoughts on what to eat he smiled once more, desiding it was a good idea so when Ruby came by he ordered it along with a coke before handing her the menu back "So Belle, if I can call you that where does one go if they are looking for a room to rent or even a place one might be hiering for a job?" He thought to ask her if she knew of none to be hiering or that, then he would ask other wise it of others. It did not take long before thier food was brought to them, the food looked wonderful & it smelled amazing, he looked forward to trying it.

Of course he had no way of knowing that having a hamburger with her could hold any other meaning then just a meal, of course he would know little of her or anyone else for that matter. Yet faite would not keep it that way forever, of course he wanted to make freinds & not enemys of course he was likly making an enemy a very deadly one with out knowing it. He put some perrer & salt on his hamburger & fires before he moved to take a bit it was really good. He only spoke when he had swallowed "I can see why people would come here for the food if everything teasts that good" He wipped his mouth with a napkin before he moved to take a drink of his soda, just allowing himself to see who else was here, not that he knew anyone just was somthing else to do as he thought on what else to say.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

When he said he was looking for a place to rent, Belle looked up from her salad. She did not know of anyone who was looking for a room mate but she replied with "Granny's owns the dinner and she also own the inn next door." She pointed with one finger. "I'm sure you could rent a room there..."

She paused for a moment. Belle did not know of anyone hireing. In her profession, normally one could not just walk in off the street and get a job. She had no idea where he should look. She shook her head now. "I don't know of anyone whose hiring, I'm sorry."

Belle took a few few more mouthfuls of her salad and chicken and then she had to chuckle at his obvious delight at the food on his plate. "Than ts why I come here." She said with a laugh. "So what brings you to Storybrooke?" Belle asked now.

"Are you here alone?" This question served two purposes. One to find out if he had kids and tow to find out if he had a wife or steady girlfriend. Not that that mattered, no of course not. She was just curious. Belle sipped from her drink. She crossed her legs under the table and then leaned back in her seat. Belle was not a slow eater and now she was a little over half done. She was getting full.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He heard her words on Granny & nodded "I will be sure to ask her about a room" With her words on know of now job opening he just nodded, as he worked on his meal once he swallwed he spoke "That is alright I will ask around, I happen to drive threw, but the town has quite the homey feeling to it & I suppose that is what made me stop" He chuckled "I am sure many others come here for the same reason, quite intrestin what one can do with somthing as simple as a hamburger or that" He looked at her when she asked if he was alone, not sure how to take it as if that could be an opening for them or just a simple question "I am here alone" He was almost done with his food, yet her question had his intrested as if hopping it would mean they could do somthing together, but yet he thought not to get a head of himself. He was soon done with his dinner & like Belle just worked on his drink "So what do you do here Belle?" He was not sure why he wanted to know, other then he did or if it was more because he came across as one that you would want to know everything about, he chuckled inwardly as how his words came a cross in his mind. Not that he minded of course, he smiled to her before he spoke "If you happen to hear of anyone that needs art work done let me know, I do it at times to earn money & have fun doing it just was thinking if I say something, perhaps something will come up"

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

"Art work?" Belle asked not making any further comment on him being here alone. "What kind of art do you do?" Now he had her interest without a doubt. Belle was a lover of art especially it the form of art was writing. 'I'm teacher." She told him realizing that he had asked her a question. "I teach at the elementary school."

She tucked her hair behind her ears as Ruby approached again. "Did you want anything else, Belle?" Ruby asked with a small smile. She did not know what exactly was going here. Ruby was pretty sure that if Mr. Gold came in here, there was going to be trouble. She looked at the man now. "Sir?"

Belle shook her head. "Nothing more for me please." Belle's voice was soft by pleasant. She had a feeling that she knew what Ruby was thinking. But really, Belle was just having lunch. She hadn't done anything wrong.
