"Oh my god you guys."
Gibson standing at the door before he enter the key. he take same elevator with her. he hide himself behind them. how he do that? no one know. Gibson are good in sneaking way. he watch her, heard her yelp exciting about the room. must admit. the hotel management are good in decoration.
she hadn't notice him yet. the man still at the lobby. smocking or maybe went somewhere else. pub perhaps. boys night. whatever. he reserves a room on Belle's floor as he did. opposite.
he saw Belle enter the room. still. he can hear the girl voice behind that door. Gibson grit his teeth. he about to kill someone. maybe one of the housekeeper to get the master keys so then he could enter Belle room whenever he need.
how dare she do this to him. how dare her leaving him alone. he cannot let her apart from him. and she already did.
exhaling. he too entered the room after her. he throw his bag on the floor, take off his disguised he went inside the bathroom. he amused.
"Well, I can said the management good in decoration."
he wash his hand on the sink. his eyes looked around till his eyes stop at the bathtub. he amused again. about minute he went out. he walk toward the window, slide the curtain open he see the view. the view still in daylight. but tonight is gonna be the night.
night as come. he waited the girl. the hallway are silent. he can't hear anything. nor Belle voice or others girl inside that room. are they asleep? maybe yes. he thought.
he glance over his watch. the time show 8.45pm. still no movement. and sudden Gibson hear someone knocking at the door. it was Belle room. he's up from bed walk toward the door. eavesdropping behind his close door. he hear man voice said.
"Sure. well. tomorrow. we so tired. meet me at the lobby at 9.00am."
then the door close. as man walk front of his door. Gibson take a look at the peephole. it was, Frank. that he don't know who he is to the girl next door. who cares. what he cares is Belle.
exhaling. he went back to his bed. closing his eyes. mumbled. the next day he will follow her even she went to loo. he always be there for her. and he sound like stalker obsession. snorted. he fall sleep as he think of his strategy. he won't grab her. he won't hurt her nor exposed himself to her. he let her having her own fun time. she deserve that and she deserve having her own time.. with him.
midnight. Belle jolt from her sleep. she sudden felt hungry and her flat tummy are vibrated. she laid her palm on her tummy like she have a baby inside. the room are dark and dimp lamp beside other girls bed. Tiana sleep beside her. never she notice, she hear a voice.
"Hungry?."
Tiana asked her. she look down at her. then Tiana jolt from her sleep as she breath. "I'm hungry too. we sleep like tomorrow our ended life."
she reach her phone looking at the time. 12.15am. she breath again. then jump off the bed she walk toward the bathroom.
"Let's go outside. we eat something hot like a soup. maybe."
the next day. the crew having breakfast. exactly 10.00 in morning. the crew began their touring. it's all in Frank list. first they visit Hollywood sign follow by the walk on fame, Tcl chinese theatre, beverly hills .. etc. for the whole weeks before they go back and the most important thing is universal studios. the crew suddenly turn into a child and they love it. especially Frank.
Belle amused. maybe her mother, Tiana and Emma were right about her. she need her own fun time and she don't want this fun end so quick.
"Happy, Frank?." asked one of the member.
"Are you kidding? this is the best of my life."
minute later. Belle corner eyes caught something or someone were staring at her. she quickly turn. and nothing. she know she see someone she know. maybe in school. but who?
"Are you alright?." Tiana tapped her shoulder. "Like you saw a ghost."
Belle shake her head. nothing. swearing. she know what she see. she know who was it. still... who?
"I'm totally feel awesome." she lied with smile.
evening. how time flies so fast. the crew decide to heading back to hotel and rest. because tonight Frank want to visit Ripley's museum.
quickly Belle take her shower after she strewn all her belonging on floor. she need sleep before night comes.
"Are you sure it's open, Frank?."
"There's plenty time. but now Ripley's okay."
the girl look at each other face. Belle still tired and really need her bed. her mind is empty. she even hear the bed calling for her in her mind. Tiana bought her chocolate ice cream for her to stayed awake a bit.
"He sure about that, huh."
Belle licked the ice cream. her brain froze. she accidentally licked the ice cream fast. she grit her teeth. slapped her head. then she calm down. she finish the ice cream as they walk.
the man already standing at the entrance waiting for the girl. Frank bought the ticket. and they walk in.
the place are amazing. the place full based of real history each one of the artifact. they seen. the crew gone separate ways. she and Tiana stick together but sudden Tiana were gone from her sight.
she left Belle alone.
"Seriously?." she said to herself.
she continue her walk looking around the place. there's a corner caught her eyes. someone are watching her. maybe a statue perhaps. for what she thought. she ignored it and keep walking.
but again. she caught the statue are movie. she stop. turn her back where the statue stood. gone. how that possible? is that thing really a statue or the staff just walk behind her. so mystery and creepy as she walk alone.
"It's not funny." she said. calming her down again.
she walk. circling around the place till she stop at the same corner not far from where she stand. she trying to figure it out, take her sight back and what was that. statue or human?
she take a look closely again. she wiped both of her eyes. she wasn't dreaming. she admitted she tired since the morning the crew start the touring. but this - there's no where she in dreaming. no way.
she wiped her eyes again. clearly what she saw something standing at the corner. "Oh my god."
nor a statue. but a completely human form standing right there at the corner she saw earlier before. Victor Gibson. he's standing right there giving her thrilled, chilling as he gaves her wicked smile and what on earth his doing in here.
she slowly backed away. lips muttering. "Is all dream. wake up, Belle. you tired. wake up, Belle."
she close her eyes for a minute to get herself back. after that. she open up her eyes. shocking. she smash her back on the wall. truly form of Gibson standing right front of her face. there's no way she can escape or run. he blocked her. he lean his face on her, taking sniffing of her perfume at the night.
she hear his voice. "Belle." smile. continue.
"How wonderful I met you in here. alone." grinning.
he spokes back. "There's no other way I've never think about you, Belle. you suddenly gone without my permission or trying to tell me where you go. why?."
"Is this real ..?" her lips stuttering. "It's not real right."
he chuckle. he lean kissing her cheek. she gasped. she feel his lips touch her skin. and is real as she can smell his cologne through her nose, this is real thing happen now.
"You feel me and I'm not just your imagination. I'm your worse nightmare you never escape from me. I lose my mind if I haven't seen you for one day."
"What did you do?." she asked him.
he lean kiss her button nose. how stupid she is she let him kiss her. what wrong with her.
"People lied honey., everything what we lived are lied. nothing are real. I come here to get you."
"No .. !"
"No?." he kiss her again. "Why not .. you're mine, honey. I take what is mine. I don't share."
slowly she close her eyes. she wish he go away. all this is a dream. she never think this is real deal. then what about the kiss he gives her? the way his lips touch her skin is real. is real.
"Belle!."
she jumped. her eyes wide open. her eyes searching for the voice called her name out. and there is Tiana on her left. no sight of Gibson are standing front of her. where is he? if this was a dream why her nose still smell his cologne and her skin feel his warm lips on touch. so this is real.
"You alright? you look pale." Belle shake her head. "You sweating. you seriously alright? did the bones scared you to death?." she pointed around.
she hadn't notice that she walk alone at the bones section. and surely Gibson non of these bones. sure he wasn't one of these bones. there's no way he's a bones walker.
"I'm fine. yeah. the bones scared me to death. I didn't realise I'm in here alone. " she stare. "Where you guys been?."
Tiana scoffs. said. "We're waiting for you outside but you didn't show up. Frank curious. so I looked for you."
"You guys were outside? waiting for me? what am I - kidnapping by an alien. I'm here waiting for you guys to show up. but you guys are outside waiting for me."
Tiana sigh. said. "I also don't know why all of us walk separately like this. I mean here. I don't know. I look for you. thought you with me but - you're gone."
"I was right here. here. and still I'm here."
Tiana grab her arm in smile. "We all tired. I'm sorry. maybe we forgotten who we are. come on. we going back to hotel. tomorrow is gonna be long day."
"I still don't believe it. you guys left me behind."
Tiana whimpering. she pushed Belle out from the Ripley's where the crew waiting. behind the girl - there's Gibson. he were hiding one of the room before Tiana could see him.
the crew heading their way back to hotel. and now he too heading his way back at the same hotel they check in.
he will not letting Belle out from his sight again. forever.
