He wanted to find his way up to her bed, the idea was tempting. He was the Mayor after all, but she did not want to be reduced to nothing more than a soiled song bird. But turning away or pissing off the Mayor was not something she was stupid enough to do.<strong>"Mr. Solomon new of my shows before approaching me and asking me to come here. I assure you no matter the stage, the performances were given my best effort."</strong>she said smiling softly.<br/><br/>Bella walked back to his table and sat gently next to him,<strong>"And I love the sweetness to it."</strong>she said with a soft nod as he mentioned the wine list. Bella listened to Cochran explain how he worked, her eyes staying with his as she seemed interested in what he was say, or at the least interested in him.<strong>"It all sounds so complicated,"</strong>she said in an admiring tone,<strong>"A miner, oh I could never imagine doing something like that. I'd be afraid of being so deep down."</strong>she said shaking her head,<strong>"It sounds like you have work incredibly hard to get where you are."</strong>she nodded softly and sipped from her win glass, a soft smile coming to her lips as his hand slip up to touch her knee. Bella didn't flinch or move away, she was no fool and would never insult the Mayor with such a reaction.<strong> "Every woman has at least one secret,"</strong>she said her knee shifting a bit against his hand,<strong>"But I would love to learn about this city, it is after all going to be my new home for hopefully a long while." </strong>she said honestly not knowing how her time here would go. Bella knew rather well that sometimes places and jobs just didn't work out. Still she kind of wished for a place to call home, not that she'd ever admit that to anyone.<br/><br/>Bella smiled and leaned in about to answer the Mayor about his private performance when the waitress walked up. Bella gasped softly and nibbled on her lower lip,<strong>"Oh my, I haven't even prepared anything with Mr. Flanagan."</strong>Bella said with a soft nod,<strong> "But the show must go one right?"</strong>she smiled and looking to the Mayor,<strong>"I'm sorry to leave you so soon, perhaps later we could share another glass of wine while we share some of those secrets."</strong>she said with a soft laugh, one hand reaching down to his hand on her knee and giving it a soft squeeze before slipping away from him side.<strong>"I hope you enjoy dinner and the coming show Mr. Mayor."</strong>she said with a soft bow of her head before moving away and slipping towards the piano player in question.<br/><br/>Fanning herself Bella knew the Mayor was going to be a hand full, but right now that wasn't her main worry. She needed to speak with Mr. Flanagan and see what they could quickly pull together before the whole house was let down. Slipping up to the side of the piano Bella smiled,<strong> "It seems we are to get to preform together after all Mr. Flanagan. I'm afraid I don't know some of the songs Miss Montgomery was going to sing for us tonight by heart. How good are you at shooting off the hip with a few songs? Think you could do that?"</strong>she asked with a curious yet hopeful look to her dark eyes.<br/>
