B POV
I opened my eyes to hear someone frantically banging on my door.
"Bella! Bella let us in, we've got a whole day of shopping ahead of us!" I stretched and stumbled over to the front door, yawning loudly.
I knew today was going to be disastrous, when Alice and Rosalie said shopping, boy did they mean shopping! Being dragged around hundreds of shops wasn't really my idea of a good time, and I didn't let them forget it either.
Alice's face when I opened the door was a picture, "Why aren't you ready yet?? C'mon Bella, speed girl, speed!"
"Good morning to you too Alice," I looked over her shoulder to a smiling Rosalie, "Morning Rose." Alice pushed her way in then, and I suppressed a giggle. Rosalie whispered in my ear on her way past,
"I'd hurry up and shower Bells, I think our little pixie is a bit impatient today." We both chuckled quietly, and Rose went over to help Alice choose my outfit for the day, while I headed towards the shower.
I closed the bathroom door behind me and sighed, I was going to need a lot of energy for today, and though I hated to admit it, I was actually in need of some new clothes. I stepped into the shower and let the warmth surround me, and after about 3 minutes I heard Alice banging on my door, she really had to stop doing that!
"Bella! Hurry up!" She shouted. I groaned and quickly rinsed out my strawberry shampoo, then stepping out the shower and wrapping a towel tightly around me. As soon as Alice heard I was out she opened the door and pushed her way in.
"Alice!" I squealed.
"Oh c'mon Bells, we're all girls here, and besides you're gonna need help with this top." I glanced over at the top Rosalie was holding.
"No way I am wearing that!" It was the tiniest excuse for a top I had ever seen.
"Yes you are!" She threw the top at me and I reluctantly put it on, along with a pair of dark blue jeans. I took a step back and looked in the mirror. Ok, so it actually looked quite good, I suppose they did know what they were talking about a bit.
I stepped out so that I could show Alice and Rose. "That looks great Bells," Rosalie was nodding, "blue is a really good colour on you!" I went to smile back at her, but was quickly pulled onto the bed by Alice. Ugh, make-up time.
About 20 minutes later we were all ready to go. "Lets go girls!" Alice sang. Rose and I rolled our eyes at how much energy she had; she was literally bouncing on the spot.
I sat down in Alice's car and turned to Rose. I leaned over and whispered, "What exactly is she planning on buying me today?" I could tell I looked worried.
Rose smiled sympathetically, "I think she's planning on a whole new wardrobe for each of us"
"Ugh great, I think I'm going to need to buy a bigger suitcase" We both chuckled quietly as we sped away from my apartment. I silently hoped that Alice would take it easy on me today, but I somehow knew that wasn't going to happen.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
I dumped the last of the shopping bags on my bed, and waved goodbye to Alice and Rose. I was so tired, and we had to leave for the airport in about 7 hours. I quickly shoved everything into my new suitcases and changed into my pyjamas, collapsing straight onto the bed and falling into a deep and dreamless sleep.
I awoke to the shrill sound of my alarm clock. Alice and Rose would no doubt be here soon, so I jumped in the shower and dressed in the outfit that Alice had ordered me to wear today. I was actually feeling pretty excited, work had been pretty rough lately, and I was desperately in need of a holiday. I was also quite excited to meet who we would be staying with for the next two months, it would be nice to have other people to spend some time with. Of course, if we didn't happen to get along, then the next 2 months were going to be considerably harder.
Alice and Rosalie arrived soon after I finished getting ready, they burst straight into my room squealing and jumping around.
"Oh my gosh! It's so exciiiiiting!" Rose sang. I let myself go, and actually joined in with their dancing around. When we finally realised how ridiculous we looked, we all stopped and fell to the floor laughing.
"We'd…better…get going." I gasped out in between giggles. We all managed to slow down our breathing and took my stuff to the car. The journey to the airport wasn't too long, and we even got the taxi driver to sing "The Circle of Life" with us, sending us all into another fit of laughter.
"So, ladies," I said as we walked into the airport, "What plans do we have for when we get there?"
"Well, I think we should just take it as it comes really, and a lot of it probably depends on what our housemates are like" Rosalie answered.
"That's true" Alice nodded, "And there's actually quite a lot to do at this villa we're staying at, I mean, we have a swimming pool, hot tub, cinema system…"
"Really?" I interrupted, "Wow, I didn't think this place was gonna be that big!"
"Yeah! Look I'll show you the pictures" Alice rummaged around in her hand luggage bag for a minute, then bought out a little booklet full of information about the villa. Rose and I gasped as we flicked through the pages.
"Wow Alice, it's amazing!" Rose cried. Alice grinned,
"And there's 6 bedrooms and everything, so we each have our own room and bathroom!"
We all started squealing again, making a few people look our way. But honestly, I didn't care, I was determined to enjoy myself on this trip, and I wouldn't let anybody stop me.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
The flight was really long, and we hadn't managed to get seats next to each other. I actually felt really sorry for Rose, she was stuck next this creepy old man who kept leaning his head against her shoulder and drooling over her arm, once she even had to go to the bathroom for the fear of being sick.
Alice and I however, were considerably luckier; we only had one little girl between us, who had pretty much slept the whole way. Finally, the seatbelt sign flicked on and the Captain's voice could be heard through the speakers,
"Ok, ladies and gentlemen, we will be arriving at our destination shortly. I am also very pleased to report that the weather is absolutely gorgeous and there's not a cloud in the sky". A few cheers could be heard across the plane, and Alice and I grinned at each other.
As we stepped of the plane, the warmth hit us, this would take some getting used to, especially when we'd been used to living in rainy Forks. We collected all of our luggage (taking a lot more time than necessary due to the amount of bags that Alice had to take) and headed towards a man holding up a sign, with 'Alice Brandon' written on it in bold letters.
"Welcome to Australia ladies!" The man greeted us in an Australian accent, he had a huge grin on his face, "I'm Mike and I'll be driving you to your villa"
Alice giggled and let Mike put all of her bags in the back of the car, while me and Rose followed her example. When we were all seat belted in, Mike turned to us,
"So, what do you ladies have planned for your trip?"
"We're not too sure yet, just gonna see how it goes" I answered.
"Well, if you ever need anything, just give me a call!" And he handed me a little card with his name and number on it. I nodded,
"Thank you Mike, we will." He grinned and turned around, driving out of the airport towards our villa. I looked at Alice and Rose,
"So, this is it! 2 months of relaxation!"
"And fun!" Said Alice,
"And hot Australian guys!" Added Rose; to which we all clapped and cheered.
Then Mike stopped outside what I assumed was our villa, "Wow! It's huge!" I exclaimed.
"It's amazing!" Shouted Rose, "I can't believe we get to stay here!"
It was truly beautiful, I could see the swimming pool to the side, and the steps at the front lead up to a huge front door. It was completely secluded; there wasn't any other villa for about 3 miles. (AN: Pic on my profile) Then I noticed another car on the drive way, that must mean the other people were here already. I looked round at Alice and Rose, they had noticed too.
"Ok girls! Lets go have a look around and meet our new housemates!" Said Alice.
We said our goodbyes to Mike, ensuring him we would let him know if we need anything, and made our way up to the villa with our bags.
Then the door opened, revealing the 3 other people that we were staying with. My jaw dropped, what the hell were they doing here?!
AN: Next chapter should be up Tuesday or Wednesday. Let me know what you think so far, and if there's anything you think I should do. Please review! :
