Isabella 'Bella' Marie Rickman: This is Me

Part Two

Sophie dropped Bella off in Covent Garden where she met up with some of her friends from the dance academy.

She had been told there and then that she had got the role that they had wanted Bella to audition for. So, at Christmas time, Isabella Marie Rickman will be in Cinderella in Sheffield.

All her friends congratulated her as they headed into a restaurant close by to celebrate. Bella even called up Miss Sampson to tell her the good news and that she wouldn't be attending classes until she came back in the new year.

Bella was sent an email with all the details of what was to happen. She would have to travel to Sheffield where she will do her first rehearsal and then shown her apartment for the duration of the rehearsals and shows.

She was so excited about getting her first acting role in a pantomime.

Bella and her friends celebrated late into the night. Well, it was 2am when she walked into the family home. She found her dad sat on the sofa with the TV on and he was asleep holding an empty wine glass.

Bella shook her head and headed into the kitchen to get a drink before going to be herself.

Alan was asleep and never heard Bella walk into the house. He woke up the next morning to see that Bella was having her breakfast whilst reading her emails on her iPad.

"What time did you get home young miss?" Alan asked stretching out the kinks in his back.

"I'm not sure dad. But you were fast asleep last night so I left you to sleep. You looked comfortable that I didn't want to disturb you." Bella took a sip of mint tea.

"What time is it?" Alan asked going over to the coffee maker.

"It's time that you had a shower and was off to work. It's nearly 9am. I called Michael and he will be here in half an hour to pick you up. Plus, I called David Heyman to tell him that you were running late. It's all covered." Bella let her dad know.

"Thank you for that. Well, I best go and get ready then. What are you doing for the day?" Alan asked of his daughter.

"Dad, I'm planning a dinner tonight. Could you bring Tom with you please? I need to talk to you both."

Alan turned and looked at Bella.

"What is it? Your health is ok, isn't it? You've not had any relapses since your last appointment?" Alan was getting concerned.

"It's not about my health dad. It's something else that is happening in my life and it's something that I want to do as a career. But go, you are going to be even more later than normal." Bella got up and pushed her dad upstairs to go and get ready.

Bella phoned up the Savoy to book a table at the Gordon Ramsay Restaurant there. She was told that the restaurant was fully booked and that there was only the Chef's Table available.

"That's perfect. We know Chef Ramsay personally it would give us a chance to catch up with him. Gordon is in attendance tonight, is he?" Bella asked the receptionist.

"Yes, he flies out in a couple of days to go back to Hells Kitchen. Whose name is the booking going under?"

"Isabella Marie Rickman."

"Your table is booked from 8pm for you Miss Rickman. We shall see you soon."

Bella then put on her shoes, grabbed her coat and keys and locked up the house and headed into town to buy a new dress and shoes for the dinner. Also, she was to get her hair done as well. But first stop, Selfridges to buy her dad and Tom new suits for tonight.

Bella had received a message from her dad saying that Tom was coming home with him. She smiled as she walked Into Selfridges and headed up to the top floor for personal services.

"Good morning, ma'am. How are you today?" The personal assistant asked of Bella.

"I would like to purchase two suits for my dad and boyfriend please. We are off for dinner tonight to celebrate myself getting my first acting job." Bella mentioned.

"Congratulations on the new job. So, who are we dressing today?" The assistant asked.

"Tom Felton and Alan Rickman. You should have their sizes on file somewhere."

"That shouldn't be a problem ma'am. I will get their sizes out and ready for you. They should be ready for you in an hour."

"Thank you, I need to go and hunt for a dress for myself so I will see you later." Bella turned away and got out her phone and called her hairdresser who was downstairs.

"Do you have time to fit me in? I only need a wash and style. No cutting as I must keep my long locks for my new job. Yeah, I'm just coming downstairs. See you in a few minutes."
