Disclaimer: I only own Alina.
This is only a filler chapter basically. Im pretty occupied with my other Rumpel/oc story 'The Enchantress'. Mr. Gold now has a first name in my story. Randal. I have never been to Boston so don't criticize me on what they have and don't have please. Lacey is Belle's Storybrooke counterpart coming up in an episode soon I just don't know what her personality is like yet. So Gaston is indeed the beast in her Beauty and the Beast fairy tale.
Reply to Drakonika: I don't see all Christians as evil, annoying, judgmental, or violent. It's just the ones in my story thought Alina's family were devil worshipers and a danger to the town so they took their worries to the mayor and she only fueled them, so the Christian townsfolk though they were doing a good deed for god by ridding the world of Devil Worshiping Witches. In some places of the world this has happened. People murdered because their religion was misunderstood. So I'm sorry if you felt that I was calling every Christian violent and evil. I wasn't. Although I grew up in a church where they were very judge mental it was sad. I just hate the actions that some do against gays, non-Christians, goths, etc. again sorry if you felt insulted. I know there are people out there that are Christian and the nicest people on earth because they accept people for who they are. I know plenty.
Anyway on with the story!
The next day I told Ruby the news of our engagement and it spread quickly. She insisted on going to Boston to celebrate. I informed Randal but he would only allow me to go if he went as well.
"Are you sure?" I asked him. "We're gonna be doing some pretty girly stuff." I said as I packed some clothes in a suitcase along with a phone charger, a book, and my woman necessities.
"Oh I know, I also know Ruby, She'll try to get some other man to steal you away from me." he replied as he pulled me to him in a deep kiss. I giggled happily when we pulled apart.
"You know I would never leave you Rumpel." I spoke softly.
"I know, but there are those that would take you from me." he warned. Right. His enemies.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Now if you're going then pack. The girls are waiting." I ushered him to his side of the room before carrying my bag to the van out front.
Ruby's Granny let us borrow it because it was the only vehicle that would hold all seven of us; Gold, Me, Ruby, Ashley( Alexandra at home with the father.), Emma, Mary Margarete, and Lacey a.k.a. Princess Belle who I was a maid for in our previous land. She and Kenneth were going through some tough spots so I invited her along to get away from his beastly actions of abusing her. She still believes he can change.
"Remind me why the geezer has to come?" Ruby spoke rudely as I put my suitcase in the back with the other bags. I gave her a glare.
"He deserves as much celebration as I do, be nice, besides he's the one paying for this trip." I said before taking a seat in the middle with Lacey on my left. An empty seat next to me for Gold. Emma and Mary sat in front of us. Ruby in the driving seat with Ashley in the passenger seat. I smiled at Lacey, she returned it shyly before going back to her book.
Gold soon came to the van. I put his suit case in the back before helping him in to sit next to me.
"On our way to boston bitches!" Ruby shouted after starting the van and pulling onto the road and heading to our destination.
"Ruby!" Mary scolded before laughing with the rest of us. Randal had an amused look in his eyes. Ruby blasted music that we all sang along to while we drove for an hour before arriving at our hotel. Randal checked us in while Emma and Mary loaded our bags onto a cart to wheel to our rooms. Lacey stood by quietly watching.
The girls share one room that held two large beds while I shared one a floor above theirs with Randal. We unpacked our things before heading to the large mall Boston had to offer. Randal lagging behind while us girls huddled together until either of us dragged us all into a store. Lacey actually enjoyed herself for once.
"So, happy to be out and about instead of huddled in the City Hall Library?" I asked Lacey while we saved a table at the food court. The girls getting their food, Randal getting mine and his.
"Don't get me wrong I love books, and the library, but this, this is fun and different. Thank you." she spoke softly with her Australian accent. I smiled.
"It's no problem at all." I said kindly.
We all ate our breakfast happily. Emma and Mary chatting while Ashley and Ruby gossiped. Lacey was happy with her book while I spoke with Randal.
"I did warn you, my love." I said smirking before taking a sip of my drink. He chuckled and nodded.
"I know. It's nice to see you happy though, I'm fine with tagging along." he said after swallowing a bite of his pastrami. He leaned in and spoke softly.
"It's only Ruby I'm irritated with, she not here to chase men, she's here to chase men for you." he growled. I scowled at him.
"If I have a talk with her will you quit voicing your possessiveness and save it for the bedroom?" I asked before winking at him. He smirked but nodded. I rolled my eyes. We finished our breakfast and headed to the bathrooms I pulled Ruby aside.
"What gives?" she asked.
"I want you to understand that I am happy with Randal. He may seem bad but he's only guarded so please Ruby, you can have fun with the other girls but my single days are over. I'm not asking you to accept my relationship with him, I'm asking you to just be happy that I am happy and I will do the same for whatever guy or girl you choose to marry." I spoke calmly yet seriously. She was silent a moment while looking into my eyes. Then she sighed once she saw the truth in my eyes.
"Fine. And girl? Do I come off as a lesbian?" she asked smiling. I laughed.
"No you just come off as adventurous." I said before walking with the others to make our way to the spa after our shopping trip. On our way there a man ran by and snatched my purse almost dislocating my arm.
"Hey!" I shouted. Ruby attempted to chase him only to have one of her shoes' heels snap. A man tackled the one that took my purse. Security arrested the kid while the man cam walking back to us with my purse in hand.
"Here you go ma'am." he said as he handed my bag to me. He was one of those blue eyed, toned, dirty blond guys.
"Thank you so much! You have no idea how important this bag is to me." I said. It held my engagement ring in it. I had to take it off so I can get my nails done in the spa.
"No worries. I'm happy to help a beautiful gal like you." he spoke, he had a southern accent.
"You're not from around here are you?" I asked. Ashley and Ruby giggling to each other behind me, shushed by Emma.
"Nah, I moved here from Texas, got tired of the ranch." he smiled showing his pearly whites.
"Nice. Well thanks again but we must be going." I said while waving and ushering the girls and a glaring Rumpel forward.
"Wait, can I have your number, we could grab a drink." he offered.
"She's engaged, to me." Rumpel said. I looked amused to the man waiting for his reaction.
"Oh, well it was uh nice to meet you." he said dissapointed, a hint of fear in his eyes. I chuckled before continuing forward. Putting my hand in Rumpel's. He smiled down at me before continuing to walk.
We walked into the spa and checked in for our appointment. Rumpel paid extra to get us in on such short notice. I was able to convince him to get a pedicure with us. He seemed to actually enjoy it. After finishing our nails we all got cleansing, soothing facials. The girls holding in their giggles as Rumpel had his done. Well he did look funny with the cucumbers over his eyes and avocado mix on his face. I managed to sneak a picture with my phone.
After really nice full body massages, Rumpel insisted I have a female do mine so I had a male do his. He remained tense the entire time, I don't blame him, the man that did his body was obviously attracted to him, but it did help his permanently damaged ankle.
Feeling refreshed we ended the day at the zoo. We were in luck to see a giraffe give birth, laugh our butts off at elephants mating, and finally watch as a donkey followed Ruby around with a boner.
"Serves you right!" I shouted at her before bursting out laughing once again. Rumpel held his laughs behind his smile as he pet one of the sheep in the petting zoo.
"Help me!" Ruby shouted running over to us. We quickly ran out with her on our tails. Rumpel exited after us remaining poised and collected.
We returned to the hotel. Rumpel went to his room while I joined the girls for Room Service and chick flicks. Around three I snuck into Rumpel and I's room and fell asleep next to him. Happy to have such an awesome day celebrating our engagement.
I know it was boring, random, and weird but I've been busy lately with Megacon, SSI, and waiting for my college to reply. Review please!
