'All to soon as if it was naturally meant to be she was in his grasp. One hand against her bare back and the other inter winding with her fingers. He wasn't holding her to tight, but enough to feel secure, all while keeping intense eye contact.

when you see * please play the clip above <3 have fun cause this is one of my comfort chapters!
Belle had recovered short term from the day before. Whenever she felt the wave coming she would give herself a night to cry and be upset, and then the next morning she would pretend nothing happened. She didn't really care if it wasn't healthy it was how she copped, it was how she done it.
Currently her and Mary are preparing for the night ahead. The masquerade ball. This was a very big deal for Belle and her future, her father had prepared a list of men for her to meet at the ball. Potential suiters some of which where double her age, but rich and that is all that mattered in his eyes.
She was also doing the first dance. Somewhat of a tradition at these type of balls, the full point of a masquerade ball is that nobody knows who anyone is, the mystery is the fun. As the crown is hosting the ball the king will be in attendance, but also in disguise so nobody knows who he is until the first dance.
At the first dance six young people will line up facing each other, three girls three boys one of the boys is the king. Whoever is lined up in front of you is your dance partner, you share a dance then at the end everyone takes of their mask and everyone's true identity is revealed. This year Belle has been asked to be one of the girls, by her fathers request.
For the ball Belle is wearing a beautiful red gown complementing her blonde hair. The dresses sleeves end at her shoulders, and the length ends at her ankles, the dress is rather tight at the torso but losses up on the bottom half of her body. Because of her corset and wear the dress ends on her upper half Belles breasts have been pushed up showing some of her cleavage. Roses made of fabric go around the outline of the dress.
For her accessories, she is wearing a dark black gloves ending at her elbows. Her mask is simply divine, having black lace around the borders and a deep red as the main colour. To finish everything off she has added large deep ruby earrings, which were previously her mothers.

"You look beautiful Belle." Said Mary once she was ready to leave.
"Oh stop it your to kind." Belle said back jokingly.
The two left her room and made their way downstairs into the front of the house. Where they found the rest of the Williams, ready to go.
"Am I late? I thought we didn't have to meet until eight." She said noticing she was the last to arrive.
"Your fine" said Louis sitting on a velvet sofa near the door with three bell boys standing next to him.
The carriage journey was fine. It consisted of Belle gazing out of the window while her brother and father discussed the weather, normal small talk. Occasionally her father would mention to her the importance of nights like these, she could be meeting her future husband tonight and first impressions were crucial.
