Getting Away

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Robert watched her as he smiled more "My dear, I did not think you where ever one to be lost for words" He chuckled lightly as he watched her closely, at the feel of her touch he could feel the heat of her hand threw his mask & he smiled to her, for few would ever be able to do what she was doing now. As she took his hand & moved around him he moved his arm as she moved around him with her words he smirked more "I would love to my dear wife"

Of course as they made their way to dance, he did not miss some of the men that likely where hopping to get to dance with Belle where staring at them he could feel their eyes on him. Once a new song started & they where ready he placed his extra hand on her waist as he lead her in a dance to the music "I see you have made quite a few friends & likely have broken a few hearts as well" He chuckled lightly "So my dear wife, what are your plans for the rest of your time here?"

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Belle had noticed the eyes of the others as well. She knew the women wondered who he was and the men wondered what made him so special. Belle had not told anyone about her husband.


When his hand moved to her waist, Belle stepped closer to him and her arms came up. One hand rested on his shoulder while the other moved to slip into the hair on the back of his head.

"What are you doing here? She asked him. "I mean, I thought you were in Storybrooke." They were moving slowly to the music. Her fingers were massaging his scalp. She had asked him a question and she rolled her eyes at herself and chuckled.

"Theres a few more events and a dinner. And you..." She leaned closer to him and turned her face into the side of his throat.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He felt Belle steep closer to him as they started to dance to the music, he felt her hand on his shoulder & he felt his blood heat with her touch to slip into the hair on the back of his head. He could say that a few moments he could not speak lost for words or more being able to speak, with her words he smiled to her words "I am here because I was lost with out you & besides I thought it would be a nice surprise"

He chuckled "And I was in Storybrooke much like your self, I just found a reason to leave even if for a short time" As her fingers massaging his scalp, he was lost to speaking again as if his tong was not their yet with her words he thought some as hard as it was with her face moving into the side of his throat

"I am here just to see you & will do what ever you wish if it is with in my power" He grown lightly with her face so close to the side of his neck "My dear it is hard to think strait with your messaging & your breath on my neck" He was not one that normal say he had a weakness yet, it would be wise to do so for it could get heated really quick if they did not keep in mind what they are doing.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Belle chuckled softly at his words about thins getting heated. She knew it was true however. The thought of fun right here on a table was thrilling, Belle doubted the others would appreciate it very much. It had not been her initial intention however.

She was just happy to be close to him. To be able to feel him and have his scent. Still, she backed away a little. "I'm sorry." She whispered. "We could take some time to do some sightseeing if you like." Belle looked down at him. There was no cane.

Belle knew that their magic could not be used outside of Storybrooke or their world. His leg must be hurting. "Do you need to sit down?" She asked. "Where is your cane, Rumple?" She was concerned now. Belle stopped dancing and met his eyes.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He chuckled lightly "You have no reason to be sorry & I was not complaining just more you had me lost for words" He smirked as he spoke again "Of course you never, have trouble getting me to be lost for words among other things" He heard her words "Sightseeing would be fun" With her words & question it was hard not to feel the pain in his leg more now than before, as the dance came to the end "It is in my room & seating down might be wise for a bit" He had done fairly well so far, but with out magic it was harder & with out his cane it was more so than with out it. He did not miss the tone she used & that she would not be happy with him greatly if he could more hurt or that for he would never hear the end of it.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Belle nodded and then looping her arm through his, She led him off the dance floor. The way she did it, to anyone else it would look like she was just walking at his side when in reality, she was supporting his weight a bit on his bad side so that he would not have to put all his weight on his leg.

Aware of her new friends beginning to make their way towards her and her new mysterious man, Belle led Rumple to the table she had chosen later and sat at his side. The women had reached the table and smiling as they looked between Belle and Rumple. "Who is this?" Everyone started asking and Belle chuckled. "Ladies," She said softly.

"This my husband. Mr. Gold." No one here would know him from his past of his temper. They did not know him a Rumpelstiltskin or the dark one. He was just Mr. Gold. With a wife as kind and lovely as Belle, they would expect the same from him, what they found out would be up to Rumple.

Belle placed on hand softly on his fore arm and the others pulled up chairs and moved in close.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold felt his wife as she helped him off the dance floor & he smiled lightly as he spoke "Thank you" Once off the dance floor he moved with her without showing any of his weakness to people once at the table it was great for he got his the weight off his feet. It did not take long for Belle's new friends moved over to join them with their words he had to bit his tong & remember that none here really know him. When it was clear he should speak he felt his wife's placed her hand softly on his fore arm he was not sure if that was to keep him form doing anything foolish or to be nice, so for now he would be nice or as nice as he could be "It is a pleasure to meet you all, I am glad my wife had your company tonight"

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Before long, Rumple was not so much of an attraction. Belle's friends were chatting happily. Belle had left only for a few moments to refresh her drink and to get Rumple one as well. She was well into the state of being tipsy but she was holding her alcohol well.

The others had asked questions about Rumple and Belle. Questions like where they had met, what they did for a living, where they were from. Belle tried to answer the questions without giving away too much information.

She was a librarian, he a store owner. They had met in his shop and they were from Storybrooke. Of course nothing about their Kingdoms and who they really were or how they cam to find themselves in Maine. The party went on. Belle did not request to dance again. She loved to dance with him but knew it would be hard for him.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He was glad when he was not an attraction he might not of minded it as much if he had his magic, but right now he knew just how could do little if need be or he wished to leave. He did not miss the music played on for the dancing, some of Belles friends when to go dance & he did feel bad he could not do such a thing with his wife in a world with out magic. He signed inside for he knew it was a weakness & something nothing would change, even when he wished it could be done since it was something Belle loved greatly. He of course would not of changed how he became lame if it meant saving his son, of not leaving him fatherless like his father left him.

He watched his wife as he spoke "If you wish to go dance Belle you can, I am sure one of your new friends would be happy to dance with you even if both of you would be girls" After all in this world it was not odd or that & even in their world it was not really odd ether if one was friends & all that.

As much as he enjoyed her complain & being with her, he knew that he could share her with others in such a fashion of allowing her to dance or that with no issues, for she would be coming home with him so it did not matter he told himself & he promised himself if she did not to dance he would keep himself in cheek if he felt his anger flex for events that happened.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

When Rumple told her she could go dance Belle looked at him silently for a moment. "I'm okay." She told him softly. "I don't need to dance, I'm perfect right here." Belle placed one hand on the back of his neck massaging gently.

She knew that he felt bad about not being able to dance with her. She did not hold it against him. Belle did not see it as a weakness. "Did you want another drink?" She asked him now.

It was getting late but Belle was not one to be the killer of the party. She would wait till he was ready to go up. She did wonder what room he would have gotten. Unless he planned to sleep in the room, it was a waste of money but Belle was not going to question him about it. She could understand him wanting the element of surprise.

Her own glass was almost empty and she stood to get another. Belle wobbled slightly but steadied herself. Yes she was getting drunk. This had been a great week so far. The hotel was beautiful. The people were very nice. Belle was having fun.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He heard her words & smiled softly to her, he was indeed a lucky man to of found her & in the way they found each other he would of never believed it would happen yet it did, Belle saw the best in him & made it grow with in him changing him. "I am indeed a very lucky man to have you my dear wife"

At the feel of her hand on the back of his neck where he felt her massaging gently, he could not help as he closed his eyes for a bit as he enjoyed the feel of her hand messaging his neck. "You are quit intoxicating your self Belle with just your touch, but so long as we can stumble to one of are rooms I see not issue with it, but let use call someone over for I would hate to break the feeling your fingers are doing to my neck right now"

As she moved to get up he felt the break of her touch he opened his eyes as he looked at her, he watched Belle as she stumbled a bit he moved his hands to her waist to steady her. He tough it would be perhaps a better idea to get Belle to her room, they could always have more drink or that sent to a room. "My dear, I think it wise we get you to your room, at least their you have less area to walk to get to your room & we can always send drink, food or that to are room if need be" Of course he did not think using the word are room, not even after he said it compare to using the word one of their rooms.

He looked at his wife "I will gladly give you a foot message in your room" He had not drank as much as his wife, yet it was enough he could feel things, but he could still walk with ease & all that, just it was more he though he might have to help his wife to her room, he needed to see her get to her room safely & that meant he was not drinking any more right now any way.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

When his hands had found her waist, Belle paused. His words she knew were mean to be kind but still made her feel bad. Was she embarrassing him? She wasn't that drunk. Some of the others here were beyond wasted. She had even seen one woman that had been needed to be carried out fireman hold because she could not walk on her own.

Belle was not nearly that far gone but she did not want to be either. She nodded placing her glass back on the table. "I'm sorry." She told him. "Of course." Belle had always been quick to apologize. Even in the old world.

The women that still sat with them and watched all of this silently looking between the two. Belle excused herself and said good night with promises to see them tomorrow and then waited for her husband to stand.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Robert moved to follow her, he stud beside her he was not sure why she was sorry "You have no reason to be sorry my wife" He meant it he did not care if she got fully drunk, it was just them getting back to a room at him he would of enjoyed drinking her under the table. He moved to walk with her as they moved to head for one of their rooms "What room are you in?"

He would wait for her words to help her get to it "I will have some more drink sent up, to the room & perhaps we can see from their who can drink the other under the table?" He smirked light as he waited for her words, he would have the items sent up to the room for it would be away to pass even more time with his wife. And as he glanced around it looked like other where leaving just they where not the only ones.

Once he knew the room she was in he moved to help get her into the room & the items where dropped off shortly after that he ordered the items for them to be sent up to their room. Once he had Belle setting down & the door closed he moved to get some glasses as he moved to set them on the table with the bottle "So care to continue where we left off with drinking?" He moved to get another item that was strawberry's, chocolate with & dark as well some chocolate strawberry's he brought the tray the items where on that he set before his wife before taking a seat.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Belle made her way with him and up to the hotel room. She did so with an almost cold dignity. Holding her head high and walking as the Princess she truly was Belle entered the elevator off the lobby and then rode it with Rumple up to her floor. She led the way to her room. Belle had of course heard his question but she had decided not to answer.

It still smarted Belle in many ways was savvy to this world but in other ways, still knew very little. Sometimes she felt that she fit in with everyone else and the something came along to make her feel like an outcast. She opened the door to her hotel room and then stepped inside. It was pretty, the room. One bedroom and a separate living area with a table, two chairs, couch, tv and mini fridge.

After she had sat at the table, Belle watched Rumple move around the room gathering items. When he asked about more drinking, She glanced up meeting his eyes. She silently took the glasses, opened the bottle of vodka and poured two shots. Releasing her hair from the many pins that held it in place, her dark hair fell down around her shoulders.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Robert watched her, almost feeling the anger that was going to come for it was that or crying the odds where unless it was both, yet he was starting to feel that he would be on the end of her anger for one reason or another, disputed how happy she might be to see him. And he knew if Belle keep drinking it was fine, it might be questioned if she started to do shots to fast yet that was left to be seen. His leg was killing him & as much as he wasted to just bar teeth form the pain or bit into his lip or anything else to help ease the pain in some way in his mind he did not. For now he would drink with her allow the drink to ease the pain only to have it hit hard in the morning for his actions, something he knew was coming & their was nothing to be done, but allow it to come.

Sitting across form his wife he watched her more before he moved to take a drink form the shot allowing it to burn his trout some as he spoke "I saw you where having much fun & I can see you made quite a few new friends, but then you always do with no trouble" He finished his shot as he watched his wife "Si what are you plans for tomorrow?"
