Oh my...

All I see are sparkles in front of me. Sparkling clothes, jewelries, bags and even shoes...they are all in here. This place is heaven.

I really think Rafael would not mind if I buy something that I want. Just for this day, I will buy one thing. I want to feel today how to be a rich girl then I will wait up in reality tomorrow.

I am in a very wonderful store that is full of expensive things and it's like a dream land. I can't even pick a single thing to buy. I just wan to buy them all but I know I can't do that so maybe something that Rafael didn't gave me. I swear I look like a kid in a candy store.

I don't have a purse though...or maybe just a simple small bag that I can use when we are attending a party.

"Welcome Madam...what would you like?" The sales lady asked me.

"Oh...um...I am looking for some purse or any small pretty bag that I can use when attending a party" I told her.

She smiled at me and said "We have bags over here, Madam. Anything you want and feel free to chose, please" she lead me the way to the bags area and my jaw dropped, seeing the place...it is really full of bags.

All in right sizes.

Wow.

This is heaven!

I was looking around the place and I don't have a clue yet on what should I buy. They all look amazing and it feels like I want to buy the whole store.

"God, this is incredible" I mutter to myself until my eyes finally caught the right bag I am looking for. I walk towards it and I was about to grab it when suddenly another hand came to grab it also.

I raised my head to see who it was and then I was stunned to see a beautiful tall lady with blonde long hair, her eyes were covered with those big black sunglasses, she had a long and slim figure than made him look sexy.

"Oh, are you gonna buy this one?" She asked me in a kind tone.

"Erm...are you gonna buy it?" I asked back, I don't want to fight this beautiful creature.

A smile came out from her and chuckled "No, it's fine if you take it"

"No! You take it! I am gonna look for something else" I said, nervously.

"I am sure there are still other stocks for this, right?" She asked the lady.

But the sales lady shook her "I am sorry, Madam but that is the only one" she answered.

"Take it. I-I will just look for other bags" I said but she continue on giving it to me.

"No, I am serious. Take it. Its beautiful and nice...it looks better on you" she said, with a smile making me look confused. Is she really giving it to me?

"Are you sure?" I asked again, not quite comfortable that I made this woman give it to me.

"Yeah, don't worry about it" she smiled , assuring me then I just nod and went to the cashier quickly to pay for it. Okay, seriously who is that woman?

Why is she so nice to give me such a beautiful bag. She should fight for it though. After paying for the bag, I look for the girl again and I saw her at the dress corner this time.

"Hi" I greeted her and she smiled at me "Um... I just want to say thanks for giving me the bag."

"No problem, kid. I saw how you look at the bag and I saw the light in them when you saw it" she told me.

I stared at her for a second "It's just...I don't feel comfortable that you let me have the bag instead of you buying it. Can I make it up to you?"

Her eyebrows touched them smiled again "No need, dear." She then offered her hand for me to shake "I'm Gabriella... call me Gabby for short."

"Isabelle...Belle" I awkwardly shake her hands. My, her hands are so soft!

"Belle, nice to meet you. Want to grab some coffee? Its just next this shop" she suggested.

Okay, should I agree to this? She wants to get to know me more, that's what she means.

"Um...yeah, why not?" I shrugged my shoulders and we exit the store together and went to the cafe next to it. We grab the corner seat and ordered for some hot cup of coffee.

"Why did you ask me here?" I asked, rubbing my hands together and look at her.

She also looks at me "Nothing much. I feel like I want to know you"

That is kinda awkward. She is putting many trust on me at this one. "You are not a lesbian, aren't you?" I can't help but ask out of my curiosity.

Gabby laughed a lit loud and I just stare at her "You are so funny. Of course not! I'm already married. I just moved in this place so I need someone to talk to while my husband is busy at work"

A weak laugh escaped from me "Oh. I just can't help but think, okay? Sorry"

She chucked the our orders came. I didn't order some cake...

"I ordered them" Gabby said before I could speak. "So tell me, Belle. Do you like the bags in Esmeralda's?" She asked.

"Esmeralda?"

"Yeah. The shop where you bought the bag" she told me making my eyes widen in realization.

"Oh! Yeah yeah! The bags are amazing. Not just the bags, though but all of them. I am surprised to see how beautiful they are. If I just can buy them all though" I stated, taking a bite of the cake "Hmm! This is delicious! What flavor is this?"

Gabby laughed at my reaction "I'm glad you like it. Its called the red velvet. It taste wonderful, right?"

I nod my head quickly "Yes! I never tasted anything like this"

"I am glad you liked it, Belle." She said, still laughing at me. We just ate and drink our coffee while talking about random things. She is really nice though. She tells me things about her wife. She even told me that she just came here five days ago with his husband which is also a businessman. Gabby seems nice and I feel comfortable talking to her even though we just met. She is crazy and funny, that's why.

"How about you, Belle? Are you married or single or just dating?"

"I am already married" I answered, shyly.

"Really?" She asked surprised "But you look too young to be married. How old are you to be in fact?"

"I'm 20" I replied "You?"

"I am almost 30, my dear. I am not that young anymore" she joked as we both laughed again. "Where's your husband by the way? Why are you shopping alone?"

"My husband is always busy at work. You?"

"The same." She breathe out "That's why we are always fighting. Day and night. He won't stop working! Its really annoying"

I feel yah, my friend. "Sometimes it feels like you just want to tie them on the bed, and lock them so they won't sit their asses on their office desk"

The two of us continue to talk more for the an hour. She is fun to talk to! It feels like I know her for a very long time though. "You know...I feel comfortable talking to you"

"Yeah, me too. Want to do this again, sometimes?" I asked, as we stood up from the table and I grab my shopping bag.

"Sure. Give me your phone number"

Oh crap.... "I don't have a phone"

"Oh too bad." She pouted then she suddenly took something in his bag and wrote something on a piece of paper. "Here is my number. Contact me or email me"

I smiled whole nodding my head "Yeah sure. I will see you around then"

"Yeah, see yah around Belle. I wish we could see each other again." she waved her hand to me before we separate ways on the cross road. She is something, seriously. She is very kind and funny but I really feel comfortable around her. Who is that girl really? Maybe Rafael knew about her. Damn it, I didn't asked her last name! Stupid woman!

I was nearly stomping my way towards the hotel and so annoyed at myself. When I get to the penthouse, the telephone was ringing so I ran to it and answered "Hello?"

"Where have you been?! I've been calling you seven times!" His boys burst out making me surprised.

"S-sorry, I just went out because I'm getting bored in here" I explained, with a sigh. "Why are you calling?" I can't help but ask.

I heard him take a deep breathe on the other line "I just want to check on you. I left in a hurry this morning...and I kinda felt that you are missing me" I know he is smirking right now while saying those.

A loud laugh escaped my lips "Swallow your ego, my husband. Being alone in this huge penthouse of yours is not new to me. You always leave me alone though" I whispered the last part

Rafael laughed huskily "Is my wife trying to tell me that she wants me to spend more time with her?"

"I don't know...you ask her" I played alone and we both ended up laughing together. "How was your meeting?"

"Good, I am looking forward to be working with them since they are new in town" he replied and I feel happy for him.

"So, what are you doing now?" I asked, trying to keep the conversation. I want to talk to him more like normal husband and wife do.

"Well, I am going to my next appointment and yes, it's a meeting once again. I an trying to clear my schedule"

Huh? "For what?" I asked curiously. Why is he trying to clear his schedule. He must have some important things to do...more important than those meetings that he needs the day off.

"You'll know later, my wife. For now you have to rest so you can look beautiful tonight." He said which is I don't know if I should that a good one or a bad one. Does that mean I look ugly?! "See you, baby"

Then the phone ends. That was our very first telephone conversation! A girly squeal came out from me and I started jumping around the living room like a girl who had lost her mind. I was screaming and jumping on the couches. Thats a new thing and a new one. I really need to have my own phone so I can call him every time. Jeez, this is getting more excited.

I should really make myself look beautiful tonight. So beautiful that I can make everyone in the room stare at me and wants to know me. Yes, I should really do that. I ran to my room upstairs and started searching for something to wear that can make me stand out and Rafael will only look at me. Like heck I would let my husband stare at other girls other than me. No I won't let that, over my dead body.

I will try the best I can to be the most beautiful woman for the party tonight. But the big problem is...who would help me to know how good I look?
