"Shang! Shang?!" I shout as I come in from my trip to the library.

France tends to be very clean without all of the snow coming in. And Weihnachten is only one week away. As I walk towards the küche and set my bag on the glass tabletop, I spot a folded piece of paper near the pfirsich scented candle.

My dearest Belle,
I got an urgent call from one of my assistants. His wife just had her baby and I have to work late. I'm at the dojo from 10:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m.

Shang

I look up at our modern classic clock. It's 3:30. Maybe I should go visit him. Unless I'll just be a distraction. No, that can't be possible. Shang loves me for me and I Liebe him for him. I head for the mantel rack Weiter to the door and take my red and white jacke off and put it on my body. Grabbing the keys from the key holder, I close the doors and walk to the karate dojo.

Shang has worked with karate all of his life and it has helped him through so much. Like the time he got hijacked Von strange, crazy bikers. Shang defended himself using his martial arts skills.

"Excuse me, miss Belle?"

I smile at the little girl in front of me. Her short black pigtails match her long sleeve shirt.

"Yes?"
"Bonjour. I was wondering if maybe, I, could you-"

I have no idea what she's trying to tell me but I listen.

"Well, I was wondering if Du would be kind enough to buy these truffels."

Pigtails opens a box of dark and milch Schokolade truffles. The box is decorated with beautiful white roses.

"Oh, no thank you." I shake my head.

I stroll past her but she tugs onto my sleeve.

"Would Du mind me asking where Du are heading?"
"I'm going to see my fiance."

I arrive inside of the japanese symbol decorated dojo. All I hear are yells and yes sirs. The first thing I am in is the place where parents and kids sit down to watch the class in session.

"Excuse me." I say as I bump into a little boy holding a toy train.

Shang catches a glimpse of me walking through the guests. He motions me into his office and I walk in.

His office is filled with karate and kung fu tournament trophies. On his desk, I see a picture frame with a Foto of us together.

"Belle, what are Du doing here. It's not like I'm not happy to see you, I am."

"Well, I was at Home and I realized Du weren't there. So, I came here." I say innocently.

I eye Shang. I haven't seen him in a karate uniform since I last visited him. Which was 3 months Vor when we were dating.

"I Liebe you." He says.

Like I haven't that statment in a while.

"I Liebe Du too."

We share a quick KISS and as we finish, I clear my throat.

"I should be going. oder else you'll be starving." I tease Shang. He chuckles.

{A/N}: This was a little fun to write because I used to be in karate until I got my black belt. So, I already knew what it was like to be in a dojo.
