Not So Normal (Rumbelle)

NSN Chapter 3 Part 2

(Belle's POV)

Walking into Grannys', I breathed in the familiar scent of pumkin pie and coffee. 

I was about to get a moment of peace before Ruby shouted, "Granny! Belle's got a boyfriend!"

Granny came around the corner in an apron. "What's this? Who are you dating, Belle?"

"Nobody." 

She turned to Ruby and raised her eyebrow expectantly. 

Ruby took a deep breath and said very quickly, "I walked in to the bookstore this morning to find Belle and Gold talking. They were really close to each other and it looked like they were going to kiss. So when Belle walked away, I slipped her number into his book!" 

Ruby looked a bit worried when Granny suddenly started looking horrified. "You what- Gold? Please tell me this is a joke." She turned to me. "Please, please stay away from him."

"Granny, she likes him and he likes her."

"The devil doesn't love, Ruby this isn't a fairytale." They were so busy fighting over me they didn't notice when I slipped out. As I ran down the street; I suddenly tripped over the curb and sprawled out, right in front of a car.
