Chapter 2
The next morning I was packed and ready to go. I still couldn't believe everything that those two had done for me. It's not like anyone knew about it but us, but I still felt like a charity case. One day I would be able to pay them back. Maybe if I could get my boss to glimpse at my manuscript, id become a bestselling author. Who was I kidding, a bestselling author? Maybe realistically, I could sell a few thousand and barely begin to pay them back. My boss was such a dick. Jacob believed that his employees should work for people who actually have talent. He just assumes that my novel wouldn't exceed company expectations.
"Bella, come on, the plane is about to board," Rose said shaking me from my inside rant.
"Oh yeah," I responded grabbing my bags.
"I'm so excited!" Alice exclaimed.
"Me too," I rejoiced. I really was excited once I got past the charity case part of this event.
"Really?" Rose asked with doubt.
"Yes. It's just, you know how I feel about when you guys do stuff like this," I told her honestly.
"We just want you to be happy Bells and if we have the extra funds, then why not let us?" Rose explained.
"I just don't want you guys to think-"
"We know you aren't using us and as long as you know what's ours is yours and vice versa." Alice spilled.
"And once you get your book published, we'll even let you pay us back. Deal?" Rose said.
"Deal," I agreed.
"Now! Let's enjoy our vacation!" Alice nearly screamed skipping down the terminal.
A few people turned to stare, but I didn't care, as long as she was happy. We placed our bags on the belt and proceeded to the plane. I wasn't a fan of flying, but I wasn't opposed to it either. The entire ride, I couldn't help but feel that this wouldn't just be a normal vacation.
We finally arrived around 3pm. The villa that we checked into was amazing. Everything was controlled by remote control. The sheets were made of Egyptian cotton, the floors were woodened and spotless. The double doors led to a balcony that overseen the ocean.
"Bella?" Rose called knocking on the half open door.
"It's beautiful," I signed
"See, aren't you glad you came?" she smiled.
"Yes," I said simply.
"Good. Finish unpacking so we can go get something to eat." She said and left.
I did as was told and met them in the lobby.
"What are we eating, I'm famished!" I exclaimed.
"The manager told us about this little café around the corner." Alice informed me.
"Great, let's go," I said.
The walk didn't take long at all. We arrived at a little café by the name of Bahama Artists. It smelled wonderful inside. My stomach agreed with my thought.
"Geez Bella, hungry much," Rose laughed.
Alice shook her head. We were seated immediately.
"Omg, everything on the menu looks heavenly," I exclaimed.
I was really wanting to try their turkey club sandwich. We all put our orders in and waited patiently.
"So, what are we doing today?" Rose asked more so Alice than me.
"Well, I kind of just wanted to site see," Alice responded.
Good, no shopping. I wasn't going to say anything either. The last thing I wanted to do was shop. I had plenty of clothes.
Something brown and shiny caught my eye as the waiter brought our food out. By the time I'd turned my head fully, it was gone.
