Hi there,

I'm lacking quite some reviews but I do wanna thank kool kat132 who did leave me a review. Thanks and this chappie is for you :))

But I must say I did get some story alerts, and I hope you guys like it enough to let me hear your thoughts about it.

Now let's get this on with ;)


8 months later

"I don't think we should do this" I said as Edward was pacing back and forth. "I think you shouldn't do this" he replied to which I growled "Easy there" he smirked.

"Why are you doing this? We talked this through for like a hundredth times, enough is enough!" I yelled which caused him to frown. "Ma belle, you don't understand. This is not the same as before, things are really getting bad and I don't want you near those people" my gaze softened at his explanation but I didn't give up.

"Don't make me do this Edward" I whispered more to myself. "What, ma belle?" he asked confused.

"You have to choose Edward" I said and walked to him. "Choose what?" he asked frowning. "Either we're doing this together or I'm leaving. For good." There it was and now I would see if he really meant those words he told me three days ago.


Back to Paris (8 months ago)

"You know a lot about art Mr. Cullen," I said and sipped my wine. "Oh well, that's all thanks to my family. I grew up with parents that know every little thing about art, so it wasn't hard to take over," he answered "And please it's Edward, Mr. Cullens makes me sound old" he smiled crookedly at me.

"Of course Edward" I replied and smiled back at him as my heart did flip flops. "Actually, I'm curious about something. You're accents tells me you're English but the way you talk, it doesn't seem like you grew up in England?" I asked "Which I didn't," he answered "I was born in England and lived there till my sixteen, then we moved to Chicago but by that time the accent had already gotten me" he joked.

"But what a lovely accent" I blurted out and blushed furiously. "I'm glad you like it" he smirked. Damn him and his perfect accent, smile, eyes…just everything!

He was such a gentlemen. After taking a tour in the Louvre he asked me if I would join him for dinner and of course I said yes, how could I decline such an offer? There was something about him that made him even more attractive, something that I wanted to discover because up till now I couldn't tell what it was.

So, he took me to a lovely restaurant close to the Louvre. I think it was called L'Arc Paris. Edward sure knew his way around Paris, it definitely was not his first time here.

"What are you thinking about, ma belle?" he wondered. "Oh me? Nothing particularly, I was just wondering if it was the first time you came to Paris?" "No, I have been here a couple times now. My best friend is in love with Paris, or more with its fashion,

"The first time we came here was for her work, she's a designer. One of the greatest actually" he smiled as he told about her. You could see that he cared about her.

"I see she means a lot to you" I said softly "Oh that she does. Alice is like my baby sister, the one I never had and definitely didn't want" we both chuckled at his statement.

"Girls are girls, they can drive anyone crazy" I smiled at him, "Oh yes they can" he muttered as he gave me a pointed look which again caused me to blush furiously.

"Do you do that a lot?" he asked to which I raised my eyebrows, "Do I do what a lot?" I asked in confusion. "Blush" he answered with a smirk and of course there came the 'blush' again. "See, that's what I mean" he chuckled.

"I guess" I mumbled embarresed and looked away. Edward made me look at him by placing his finger under my chin. "It's stunning" he whispered and kept his eyes locked with mine.

Suddenly his phone rang which caused us both to lean back in our seat, him with a smirk, me with embarrassment. What was he doing to me?

"I'm sorry, ma belle, but I have to take this" he grimaced as he looked at his phone "Of course" I replied and watched him walk away the table. What an ass I thought by myself. Maybe we would go to the hotel he was staying at or mine?

I didn't know what we would do next, but that did really sound good. I would lovely to see that ass again, but this time without pants and briefs or boxers covering it. I wondered if he was a briefs guy or a boxers.

"Oh get your mind out of the gutter, woman" I muttered to myself but couldn't get the idea of a naked Edward out of my mind.

Speaking of Edward, he was walking back to our table but this time with a look of distress. "Everything alright Edward?" I asked as he took his seat. "No, not really" he answered.

My heart sank at hearing that. What could possibly have gone wrong and why in the hell do I care so much?

"Can I help?" I offered and knew that I would say yes to anything he would ask me. "It's not something like that, it's just I have to leave Paris" he explained. "Oh" I said not really knowing what else to say.

"Do you want something else? Coffee or desert maybe?" he asked changing the subject but I had already lost my appetite. "No thank you I'm good" I answered. "Okay then, I'll drop you at your hotel" he said acting totally different from the way he had been before the phone call.

"Okay" I whispered. "L'addition" he said as a waiter past our table. "Immédiatment monsieur" he replied and walked away, just to came back a minute later with the bill. Edward just handed him his credit card without even looking at the bill.

The waiter came back to give Edward his credit card and got 100 euro as a tip. He's generous I thought. I stood up and started to walk when I felt Edwards hand on my back guiding me. My heart was beating so hard I was sure he heard it too.

The valet brought Edwards Range Rover and handed the keys to him. Edward walked me to the passengers door and opened it for me. I smiled at him as he closed the door and walked back to his side.

I had told him before that I was staying in Hotel Mayfair, and by the looks of it he knew the place. "I need to go to Belgium" he sighed. My eyes snapped to his. "Belgium?" I questioned.

He nodded "It's work related. I wish I could stay but I can't" so that's why all of sudden he was so quiet. To me it sounded like he didn't want to go or maybe I was just hoping that.

"Oh" was my great answer. "You seem to be saying that a lot" he chuckled bitterly. "Only twice, but who is counting" I sighed. After that silence again over won. Edward seemed to be in thought so I decided not to disturb him.

Edward stopped in front of the hotel I stayed but didn't cut the engine. "Do you want to come and have a drink maybe?" I asked softly. "I would love to," I knew there was a but coming "but I have to get ready for my next trip" and there you have it.

"Okay, uhm thanks for today. I had an amazing time" I told him honestly. "No thank you, ma Belle, for coming and letting me spend time with you" he answered. I blushed and looked down not knowing what to say.

"I should go" I said and reached for the door handle to which he got out of the car and was in a second by my side. He helped me out of the car and then closed the door. He kept the hand he took while helping me in his and slightly kissed it.

"Goodnight, Ma Belle" he whispered. "Good night Sir Edward" I replied softly. His eyes widened at what I said and then he smiled crookedly at me. "One of a kind, that's what you are"

I looked back at him one last time and then walked in to the hotel and immediately went to my room.

I still hadn't unpacked my bags because suddenly I didn't want to spend the next nine days here anymore. From the moment I had seen Edward in the train I got my hopes up. I thought that he would be here with me, how stupid of me. I didn't even know the man and I was already planning my stay here with him.

I changed into a top and sweatpants and decided to check my emails but all I could think about was Edward. Around two am I was still wide awake and thinking about returning to Washington.

Suddenly there was a knock on my door. Who could it be I thought to myself and walked to the door.

"Who is it?" I asked but got no answer. I opened the door anyway and was met by Edward.

"Will you come to Belgium with me?"


I hope you liked it!
