Ladies night. Belle, Betty and Rosie inside Rosemary's club. Craig is still hiding inside her apartment from Hannah Carter.
He babysits the twins while their mom is having fun. Actually Craig wasn't babysitting the twins. Vincent and Poppy can look after each other even when Belle is out.
Belle drank up then screamed, slammed her glass on the table. She wasn't drunk. Just having fun.
"You found your true love back again? What is the name?" ask Betty. The music was loud, so they had to shout while they talked. "You found your love back. Was it exciting?"
Belle nodded her head. "I can't believe it either. Well, it's a long story to tell you guys".
"So he knows your condition?" ask Betty again. Belle nods. "That's great!" Betty rolled her eyes.
The music really makes her want to shoot the speakers with her gun. "Let's go. We dance first. Then we go out and talk about this".
10.00pm.
The ladies get the taco's to eat. They sit in the food truck seating area. Behind them is the beach. Cold breeze slapped onto their skin, they could hear the seagull sound coming out of nowhere in the middle of the night.
Betty eats her taco's then she eats her hot dog. She eats a lot that Belle and Rosie stare at hers.
"Just eat okay. I'm hungry". She drinks and burps. "No matter what you are dealing with, food must come first". said Betty. "Let's talk about how you met him".
"We bumped into each other. At times square center of the crowd. I punched his face because he left me without looking for me. I know because my parents told me while I was with my husband".
"That maniac". Betty laughs. Belle nodded her head. "Let me guess. He tried looking for you but his mom won't allow him. So, it was a mistake to punch his face without knowing the truth why he isn't".
Belle nods guilty. Betty spoke back. "You're an idiot, Belle".
"I know". She bowed down. Her finger drew something on her lap. "I thought he wasn't. That's why". She looks up as the woman stares at her. "Okay fine! Is my fault. Satisfied?"
"I'm not surprised. You've been lying to us before ''. Betty and Belle stare. "Still _ we love you". She wink. "Where we can met this guy anyway?"
"I want him to meet my kids first. I want the twins to know about him, how their dad did to him when we were sixteen".
Rosie blinked. "I can't believe that Mr. Gibson is a bad ass man".
"Since when you have a filthy mouth there". ask Betty. "What you'd said, Belle. He pushed the guy right?"
Belle nod yes. "Bones fracture you guess. It's like you've been paralysed for a moment. Your life stops for no reason that you barely do anything for yourself".
Betty drinks up, continues. "Don't forget he's the killer too. Ugh! I wish he was still alive and I arrest him. Let me see you crying over him behind the bars''. She was smirking.
"You're evil you know that, Betty".
"I'am. What? I'd just told the truth. Now, you face a new problem. What is her name Hannah Carter? Have we met the guy? Craig?"
"Doctor Craig Allen of course you're not. He came to our school. Principal Xavier met him once".
Betty leaned her back on the chair. She smiled. "I like to meet both men. You're such a mystery woman Andriana Belle Decker. The men could kill each other to have you".
Same night. Nowhere place on road. Hannah Carter foot hit the gas. If she lived among early humans roughly 2.5 million years ago, she would even buy a cat mobile for her ride.
Her aim was Craig Allen. She needs to find him no matter what. Wanted him to take his word back for breaking their engagement.
This is all Belle's fault. Her mind always thought about Belle. She describes the images of Craig and Belle sex on bed.
Gosh!
She can't accept that. Both her hands gripped on the steering wheel until her knuckle changed into a red color. She never ever tries to control her own temper.
Truth about Hannah Carter. She never tries to fix herself.
"Fuck you, BELLE!"
She screamed at the top of her lungs inside the car. She is now in the middle of nowhere but where could she find Craig?
New york? Yes. Craig did mention where she lived.
She laughed. "I'll see you again bitch. This time _ I won't let you go. You're my bitch!"
Hannah Carter's foot hit the gas again. Tyre screeching that we can imagine how fast she drives in the middle of the night. Out of nowhere.
Weekend. Decker's apartment. Belle introduces the twins to Jake and Katherine. Katherine looks so happy to see Vincent and Poppy right in front of her eyes.
Katherine hugged the twins tightly, Belle could see they couldn't breath.
Wasn't polite if they pushed Katherine just like that. So the twins let her be. Craig standing beside Belle, turns to her in curiosity. Belle shrugged in a smile.
"I'm not trying to push you ma'am. But please you suffocate us". said Vincent.
Katherine notices her quick action letting them go. "Thank you". He and Poppy finally got their air back. "Something you're not telling us?"
He turned to look at Belle. She smiled. "Well, it's a surprise honey. This is Katherine Harley and her son Jake Harley". She clicked her tongue. "I used to be your boyfriend a long time ago".
"Seriously?" Poppy frowned. "Like I know their name somewhere. Oh, well. Now I remember".
Her eyes on Jake. "You're my mom's boyfriend when you two were sixteen. Finally to meet you". Poppy reached his hand in a smile. "Your hand is so soft".
Jake blushed, said. "Thank you. You must be Poppy. Your mom told us about you two. I can't believe you exist".
His eyes on Belle then back to Poppy. "Yes. I'm still in love with your mom". He didn't want to spoil the mood by mentioning Gibson names.
"Jake. Mrs Harley. This is Dr. Craig Allen. He is always there for me when I'm in pain. The best brother I never had once in my life".
She smiled. "He came to visit. He just broke his engagement for no reason".
Craig and Jake shake hands. "Pleasure to meet you two". His eyes study Jake. "I'm sorry for what happened to you. It shouldn't happen".
"Not at all. I still feel a bit stiff from the incident. Yeah. Doesn't mean I forgive".
Craig nods understanding. "No one will". Smile. "Well, welcome. I'm a guest too so make yourself comfortable".
Harley's nod walks toward the hall but then someone shows up in front of the door. It was Betty and Rosie. Belle invited the girl.
"Seriously?" Vincent started. "Have you brought me something, Aunt Betty?"
Betty nods. "Of course. A gun". Her eyes on the adult. "A family reunion. Betty O'hare nice to meet you all. This is Rosie. We urm sort of Belle high school friends when she _ you know".
Belle turns on Craig as his eyes are stunned looking at Betty as she talks. Craig never blinked, his face shocked and admiring.
Has he found his new love? Betty?
She elbowed him. "You like Betty don't you, Craig?" He didn't listen. "Okay. Let's move on towards the dining hall. We continue to talk there".
Later that. The twins are sitting in the hall after lunch, watching tv. The adults stay behind, talking. Once again Belle notices Craig eyes on Betty.
What is the problem with Betty?
Craig slowly turns to Belle. She was smirking. Clearing his throat, he drank water.
"So, Betty? What exactly do you do for a living?" ask Katherine to Betty.
Betty dropped the spoon side the plate, wiped her mouth with a napkin. She drinks water.
"I'm an FBI agent".
With that. Craig choked himself. Whom he sit beside Belle, she patted his back gently.
"Are you okay?" asked Belle. Nodding his head yes. "Don't drink too fast, Brother".
Betty stares at him. "An FBI agent. Interesting job you do for a living. I'm impressed".
"Thank you, Mrs Harley. What I can say. I love my job. I love the challenge. Today I received an anonymous dead body which we found under the ground. Someone had been buried deep, so no one could find the body".
"I love the CSI drama series. You remind me of that episode". Katherine smiles. "Is nice to meet all Belle's friends and you also remind me of Emma Evigan. I bet Belle told you that".
"She did".
Jake noticed too, he spoke. "I'm gonna tell you that as you enter. I was shocked to see you in Emma figures. We all miss her".
"You're right. Especially Belle". Betty stares at her. "We're a family now".
