Hi there! I have always wanted to write a multi-chapter story but I never really had the time to do it. Right now I'm on a two month break so I do have time to write more. I have written a one shot before but this is my first story. Again, I want to apologize if there are any mistakes in this story, English is not my first language and it isn't perfect. I think that with this first chapter you can guess where I'm originally from haha. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this story but I'm sure that you are willing to help me with some stuff, right? Okay, so I hope that you guys enjoy this story. Please leave a review with your thoughts or ideas for the next chapter, I would really appreciate it! Also before I forget, I'm sorry if a story with this plot has been written before. I don't think I have read one, but if there is a story with the same plot I apologize haha. Enjoy! xo
Aria's POV.
Destination: Amsterdam. Boarding time: 10:45
I've been traveling around Europe for the past four months and it's definitely one of the best things that I've ever done. I left right after I graduated, leaving San Francisco and my boyfriend of three years behind. I met said boyfriend in college, his name is Clark and he was photography major, just like me. We hit it off immediately and soon after we met he asked me out on a date. At first I was a little hesitant, reason being that I still wasn't completely over Ezra, but eventually I did agree on a date. That was the start of our wonderful relationship. The end of it wasn't as wonderful though. When I told Clark that I wanted to travel around Europe and photograph all of the beautiful sights there, he wasn't very excited to say the least. I asked him to come with me but he refused to go, saying that he hated Europe and that he never wanted to go there. We got into a big argument, which leaded to me leaving on my own. I thought that traveling around Europe on my own would be hard, but these past four months have been the best of my life. I've met so many people and got to experience a lot of great things. Right now I'm leaving the UK to go to Amsterdam. Amsterdam has always been a city that I wanted to go to ever since Hanna made me watch The Fault In Our Stars with her. The beautiful canals, the Anne Frank house, the Vondelpark and of course people on their bikes. Out of all the places that I've visited or am about to visit, this city is probably the one I'm most excited about.
After a one-hour flight, waiting for my suitcase to appear on the baggage claim and getting into a cab, I finally arrive at my hotel. It is absolutely beautiful and fulfills all of my expectations. I hurry inside to check in and go to my room. Even the room is fantastic, very spacious, clean and there's a huge bed with a lot of pillows already calling my name. I would love to just jump onto the bed and fall asleep, but if I do that I won't be able to see a lot of Amsterdam since I'm here for only five days. I take a quick shower, fresh up my make up and throw on a pair of jeans, a peplum top and my converses. If there's something I've learned these past months is that heels aren't the greatest shoes to walk in all day. I grab my purse and my camera and leave to go to the Vondelpark.
Walking around in the park, I am amazed by the wonderful sight in front of me. There's a huge lake with a water fountain in the middle and there are a lot of people. Friends having a picnic, students with textbooks, people who are sunbathing, other people enjoying a nice walk in the park and others reading books or taking pictures. I grab my camera and take a look around. I'm definitely going to be here for a few hours.
Ezra's POV.
I get out of the bathroom and see that Sophie, my wife, is still in bed. Today was a perfect day to go outside and do some sightseeing, but Sophie is complaining that she's still tired from all the sightseeing we did in Rome two days ago. Sophie and I got married last month and we wanted to go to Europe for our honeymoon. We couldn't decide where to go so we decided to visit multiple countries. After Aria moved away we lost contact and I met Sophie. She just moved to Rosewood and stopped by the Brew to get some coffee. We started talking and I found out that I in fact liked talking with her. She's the complete opposite of Aria, she isn't really interested in black and white movies or English literature, but I saw that as a positive thing so I wouldn't compare Sophie to Aria. She also looks very different. Sophie is tall and has long blonde hair with blue eyes and a perfect body, which isn't my type at all actually. We did find some things that we have in common, but there aren't a lot to be honest. We were dating for only a year and a half when she almost pushed me into proposing to her, so I did. So here we are now, married, on our honeymoon in Amsterdam and the only thing she does is complaining. Not exactly what I was hoping for.
"Soph, I'm going to go into the city, you coming with me or not?" I ask her. I can hear her sigh deeply and she turns onto her back.
"Nope, I'm so tired baby, I really don't want to go outside today. But if you do, can you please look around for some shops? I heard that the Kalverstraat or something like that has a lot of shops. 'Cause I really want to go shopping tomorrow," she answers me. I nod and leave the room. If there's something she does care about, it's going shopping. She's even worse than Hanna, and I thought that that girl had some serious shopping issues.
I've been strolling around Amsterdam for a while now and I really don't know where the street Sophie was talking about is. I really don't care about that if I'm honest, if she wants to go shopping she can figure out where it is herself. I look at the map I brought with me and see that I'm not far away from the Vondelpark. The park is one of the main things that I wanted to visit during our trip here but Sophie didn't. I take the opportunity to go there and look around for a while. I follow the signs that lead me to the park and when I finally arrive I am stunned by the view. The park is even more beautiful than I imagined. I walk around and enjoy my view. I can hear people speaking Dutch everywhere and I can't hold in my laugh, it just sounds so funny. The Dutch language is something that doesn't make any sense to me, it seems really hard and I can't understand a single word, so I'm glad that a lot of people speak English.
I really enjoy being at the park and that reminds me of Sophie. Of course I want her to enjoy Amsterdam as well, so the least I can do is ask someone where all the shops are. When I look around I see that everyone is busy or in a conversation, so I don't want to interrupt. However, there's a woman with a camera who's just looking around to find things to take pictures of. The camera reminds me a little of Aria, but I realize that that sound incredibly stupid since everyone has a camera nowadays. I walk over to the woman and tap her on her shoulder.
"Uhm, excuse me. Can I ask you something?" I ask the lady but when she turns around I am shocked. The camera reminded me of Aria because it is in fact her. What is she even doing here? "Aria?" Confusion laces my voices. I did not expect to see her at all.
"Hi, Ezra.."
