Days later. school day. Belle sit on the floor, her back leaned on her locker door. she reading a book called 'Guide Tour for Dummies' as she presume for Gibson. this book suitable for him. because of his selfishness she and others stuck at Hanging lake that day. but - she can't blamed him either. this is God doing. the collapse, the mass. it's all nature. he also don't know that day will happen. just dumb luck she guess.
"Sup."
Emma take a sit beside Belle. her eyes on the book Belle read. "What was that you reading?." she look at the tittle.
"Tour for Dummies? you still not forget that night happen? dude - it's all happen. and you can't blame anyone for this neither Gibson."
Belle turn to Emma. "Not cool dude. he'd just try to be nice. I'm not backing him. and you still here. no one complained. don't you hear?."
"What?."
Emma gasp. said. "Entire school wants him to be their tour teacher. I don't know why. maybe he handsome perhaps. I don't know."
"I still don't know what you saying all this bullshit."
Emma burst to laugh. "See. you cursing. I don't know why they want him to be our tour teacher. what best about him anyway."
"Nothing." said Belle. "This book suitable for him." she show the book. "He's dummies."
later evening. Alpaca's restaurant. Belle sit on the counter while hearing a music on her iPod. she couldn't hear anything. the restaurant seems quiet, couple of customer are comes and she refill the salt inside the shaker. she felt someone tapping her shoulder. she look over her shoulder.
"Having fun?" Belle nod with smile. "I was wondering umm - there's a man. a very handsome man that I could fuck him like right now. he wants you to take his order."
Belle blinked. turn off the iPod. she stares. "I know sound weird to hear but he wants you take his order. now. he's been sitting for 10 minute and his eyes searched for something or someone. so I asked him and he was looking for you."
"No one is looking for me for ordering."
"Just do it please. I'll try already. he doesn't want me to."
Belle body been pushed by Tiana. the sweetest woman. slender, brown skin, rosy cheeks, brownish-pink lips, dimples, medium-length wavy black hair, light brown eyes, pink eye shadow. she pointed at the table 22. suddenly Belle stop. her eyes widen. the table sit by Gibson. curious is how he know she in here.
"Go on. why you stop?."
"I'm not going, Tiana."
she blinked. "Why not? you know him."
"He's my english teacher."
"English teacher heh. so? probably he cares for his student." she look at Belle in smile. "Relax. look." she pointed. "He'll do nothing."
Gibson in relax position read the menu as he waiting for Belle to take is order. sometime he nod. sometime he smile. he wasn't looking up. he keep his eyes on the menu.
"English teacher study the menu. what's gonna be." she pushed Belle again. "Go."
Belle taking a deep breath. walk toward his table. he can smell her. he can smell her perfume. without looking up. he said.
"I was wondering what an delight to see you in here, Miss Belle." he look up in smile. his eyes scanning her. from head to shoes then he chuckle.
"Though no one trying to take my order." he smile.
Belle rolled her eyes. "Alpaca's huh." giggle.
"I will imagine all of you wear a mascot, a costumes. Alpaca's. furry little alpa, white, long neck looks like ilama. fluffy and soft. wasn't I thought you don't."
exhaling. he look down the menu again. she about to leave him alone. but he stop her.
"Since we met. I never heard your voice again. I remember first time you said your name. and that the last time I heard. second. you argue with me. and that also the last thing."
she about to leave him again. "I like to try hamburger and cokes." she wrote down. about to leave again. again - he stop her.
"One more thing." he look her. "Can I have extra mayonnaise and mustard."
this time he let her go with smile. he watch her back. so sexy. at the age sixteen she got everything he want in his life. she's perfect.
"Well?." asked Tiana. Belle show her. "Hamburger, cokes extra mayonnaise and mustard? what is he? kids?."
Belle shrugged. she went to her previous spot. resuming her filling inside the shaker. Tiana standing beside Belle. her back leaned on the refrigerator while waiting the food done. arms crossed on chest. her eyes on Gibson whom still read the menu for no reason.
"He's look like good man to me." Belle snort. "Is he?." she look at Belle.
"He the reason all my class include me stuck at the Hanging lake. because of his dumber we all stayed all night."
Tiana snort. said. "So he is."
the food are ready. Belle reach the plate fill Gibson order then walk to him. she laid down the plate on table. what he need. she gets it for him. he didn't bother her after that as he enjoyed his meal.
"He seems nice to me."
snorts. "You wanna bet? if you like him so much. why don't you try. maybe he need it. like you." Belle turn to Tiana. "You're beautiful."
"Oh, darling. we are." she shake her head. "Naa. I don't think he need it from me. it was you who he need it."
"Don't be ridiculous. that dumber my teacher. and I don't. he too old to me."
Tiana stare Gibson face. she immediately guess his ages. "Mid twenty? so what? lots of girl student like you had a crush with their male teacher. nothing weird. in fact they having a sex and pregnant."
"Eeewwww. disgusting. I can find someone my own age. I'm just sixteen and I can get a man better than him."
"He look clean and rich. does he came from rich family."
Belle shrugged. she saw Gibson looking for her. she rolled her eyes went back to him. he smile as Belle approached.
"The meal is good. send my compliment to the chef. I'd never taste it like this before. I use eat at the expensive restaurant and I cannot compared. this is so good." he smile again.
she hadn't asked anything. but he told the whole story where he had been eating. expensive restaurants? seriously? she doesn't care. "I like to have my dessert now."
"Already night. why you need dessert for?!."
he suddenly laugh. then he stop, eyes up to her. he said. "Finally I hear your voice again. and I mean it. I want dessert. chocolate ice cream, three scoop. on top of it. and lots a lots chocolate syrup."
"What.?"
he smirking. "What?" silent. he spokes back.
"Was your favourite? chocolate ice cream, three scoop. chocolate syrup on top of it. did I guess right. now go."
she backed away. then turning her feet walk to kitchen. Tiana saw Belle running toward her. she asked. then Tiana helped her out. minute later. Belle brought the dessert to Gibson. laid the bowl front of him and she about to leave again. he stop her. he want her watch him eat the dessert.
gently he scoop the ice cream inside his mouth, savor the ice cream melt inside his throat as he close his eyes. capture the moment.
"Haa, chocolate ice cream." he look her. "Between chocolate and strawberry which flavour you prefer, Miss Belle."
his question makes Belle turn her feet. ignoring him and let him having his own time with the ice cream. as long he not bothered her. she counting on it. waited. hoping he's out from the restaurant fast he can and out from her sight.
or she will kicked him out.
