Beauty and the Beast ( Sequel to Welcome to Wonderland)

Sneaky Snake

The trio all sat in Shire's jeep as they went to a few nice houses close by while Gunnar used her tablet to look at rings that he liked.

"See anything so far? You sure you wanna do this?" Shire asked, catching Gunnar full attention

"Yes, I am very sure. I know that I ain't Mr. Stud over there, but she choose me. I wanna show her that I ain't some uncaring sex addicted man and that I actually love her."

Shire was please with the answer as she parked the car in a driveway only two block from their own house. The group got out, entering the simple one story house. It had a large bay window living room with an open floor plan that you could see a dark hard wooded floored kitchen and hallway. They saw three bedrooms; one being the master that had a nice bathroom and two smaller rooms with a bathroom between. The yard was perfect for the mastiff they just bought and for Paz to plant her flowers. Shire saw similarities in their house only it was smaller containing two less bedrooms. Gunnar was liking the high ceilings and his favorite part was the garage just like Ross's. He wanted it; it was not far from town close to all his friends and mostly Paz wasn't far from Shire when he was out on a job in case of emergency.

"I want it"

The couple didn't argue because they bought their house without looking at others. Barney left his Swedish friend to his business; Shire was imaging helping decorate. It only took a matter of a half an hour to fill out the paperwork before they headed to their next destination.

This time Barney stayed outside, smoking a cigar as Shire went in with him.

They entered the fancy building where there was case filled with every woman's dream in there. A young brunette made her way to the duet with a large smile.

"Hello, Mrs. Ross, this must be the friend I am helping today. "

She nodded and went to browse things she wished she could have. Gunnar grew nervous as she lead him around to a large case where Shire stood near.

"Do you know what her style is?"

Shire saw his confusion and went to help him.

"She is a young woman who is into the leopard tones, dark metals, and very ornate gothic. "

The girl nodded and pulled out a small to wide bronze band with black and amber princess cut setting with grey grey down sides. Gunnar could defiantly seeing her wearing it, but he saw her pull out one more that was just as pretty. It was a black wide band with flower cut outs with four yellow diamonds on the top setting with Amber ones on either side.

"Now, you pick , big guy. "

Shire went outside to join her husband. She saw him sun bathing, enjoying his cigar.

"He done. I want to get lunch with the team and girls. "

"Yea, he gonna pick then he be out. Chill, Barney." Shire snapped hitting his chest, making him pull her into a deep kiss

"No foreplay yet sexy. "

Shire blushed but quickly hid her face when she saw Gunnar walk out with a leopard print wrapped box.

"So which one?"

"The first one." He answered with pride, walking back to the car, "Hurry up! I wanna put this thing on my girl's finger."

The Ross couple laughed and went to make the giant happy and closer to getting her husband to lunch. Shire smiled as she remembered what she was told as girl. All men knew how to be sneak snakes to make sure all their intentions were hidden until they want it to be known.
