The Bella Dilemma

By the time dessert and coffee were served in the living room, Natalie was seriously contemplating whether Bella had a case of personality disorder or not. Her overall demeanor remained that of a cannon on the loose with her hysterical laughs popping here and there like fireworks. Yet, every now and then, she would have this look like she was about to cry. 

"HAHAHA!"

Natalie was jolted out of her thoughts when Bella let out another one of her loud laughs.

"I mean, look at all of this! You can see it, can't you?" She gestured towards her piercings and her snake-tattooed arms. "This is not even all of it! I'm just lucky to have a dad who understands me and doesn't complain. I know so many men who would interfere with their wives' and daughters' choices about body stuff. Urk, I shudder just thinking about some guy telling me what to do and what not to do!"

While Alonso and his dad shot Bella a cold stare, Alejandro scowled at her.
