Bella's New Room

[danieltam]

Daniel liked having Bella this close to him. When Bella mentioned buying a tux, he started to think about just wearing one of his own, "Actually why don't I just......" then he thought that although they may be good for him, people on the core may not think so, "......yeah, your probably right. Alliance citizens don't think too highly of brown, do they?" He added the last part as a joke.

[Arabella Hart]

Haven laughed, tucking at his shirt playfully. "No they don't." She wrinkled her nose. "Trust me, not my favorite part of the core. After this one, I'll be glad to be rid of this life. Plus, it's only for like two hours. I have to spend like four in my dress to get ready." That was the only plus side of a guy. Less changing time.

[danieltam]

Daniel couldn't help but chuckle when Bella told him how long it would take for her to get ready. He already knew that it would take a while, he does have a sister afterall. "You take all the time you need. I'm sure that when you're finished, you'll be the single most beautiful girl there."

[Arabella Hart]

Bella raised her eyebrows, then lowered them. Truth was, she hated to prepare for these things. She hated it with a passion. The prim and proper ways weren’t her. The perfect hair and unwrinkled dress. It made her sick to think about. Bella was far form perfect and this made her grandmother upset. She was always falling down, often times her dress wrinkled dancing and she wanted to eat a lot. And cook.

Closing her eyes in exhaustion, she wrapped her arm around Daniel’s waist as a soft smile settled upon her lips. “You’ll be the only dashing man I’ll have eyes for though.”

[danieltam]

Daniel put his arm around her and gave her a small smile. Although she wasn't asleep, she looked so peaceful. He liked having her this close to him. He gently layed his hand on her check before giving her a goodnight kiss.

[Arabella Hart]

Bella was near sleep again. The music was soft, like a lullabuy. "Stay with me?" It was her first night here and she didn't want to spend it alone. She knew nothing would happen. But she wanted him here beside her. After making up for the fight, she wanted this desperately. Pulling the blanket around them, she opened her eys and played with his hair, pushing it out of his eyes.

[danieltam]

Daniel nodded to Bella, "Ok, I'll stay with you." He never thought this would happen so soon, but a part of him knew she just didn't want to spend the first night alone. He kicked his shoes off before getting under the covers. He didn't care what anyone would think if they found out. He just wanted to spend this night with her.

[Arabella Hart]

Bella closed her eyes as she was ready to drift into sleep. She felt insecure because on every other ship she’s had to share a bunk with someone. This was new. Even at times she had she share it with all men. But being here was different. She’d just have to learn how to sleep on her own. Finally falling to sleep, she wondered what the next days would bring.

[danieltam]

Daniel waited until he was sure Bella was asleep before trying to get to sleep himself. He wanted to make sure she was comfortable. It felt strange being in her bed the first night, but at the same time, it felt right. He finally went to sleep with Bella in his arms.

[Arabella Hart]

Bella stirred in Daniel's arms. The music has died long ago-probably the battery-and her eyes were watering. Rubbing them, she smelt the air. There was smoke and it smelt like burning eggs. "Tsai boo shr. Oh come on!" Shaking Daniel, she got to her feet. "Aiya! Huaile. Something's wrong." Slipping on her robe and then her slippers, Bella went up the ladder and ran to the kitchen.

Daniel woke up when Bella shook him. He looked around remembering where he was. All he could her Bella say was come on. Still rubbing his eyes, he went along with her.

[Out-Kitchen]

[Arabella Hart]

Bella was carefully going down the ladder. She had to go one handed. She knew there was a sink in the wall down here, but she wanted to boil the water. She didn’t know how hot the water got in the ship. After a few cautious minutes, she settled on the floor of her room. Setting the bowl down, she closed the hatch and went back to her new room.

Changing the batteries of her music, she set the bowl on the dresser. Grabbing the towels she had, she let her pajama’s fall, wrapping one around her waist. Mixing up the body wash in the basin, sweet pea scent filled the room. She washed her body first, letting the sweat disappear. It felt good to bathe again. The hotel had no running water. Once her body was cleaned, she poured water in her hair, washing it over the basin.

[Arabella Hart]

Bella had finished washing and dressed. She figured she should finish cleaning the mess Jayne left and cook herself something. Her stomach grumbled with hunger.

Standing, she fixed her hair before climbing the ladder, leaving her new room behind.
