Italy and Edward

The next day I packed my stuff and got the earliest plane to Italy. I was extremely excited and really couldn't wait. The hotel I was in was great. I got a discount because of the books I had written were loved by the manager. Her name was Gianna. Luckily, I knew Italian so we were discussing the books for ages.

I looked around my hotel penthouse. The living room area was furnished with cream-coloured statues, Ruby sofas and a chocolate brown rug on the cream carpet. There were artistic paintings placed all around the suite. The bedroom had a four-poster bed with a gorgeous purple, see-through satin curtain. The bedding was a silver silk material designed with indigo embroidery. The walls throughout the penthouse cream with silver and gold spiralling patterns. The bathroom was completely made of marble. The marble floor was dark grey with white swirls. The facilities were cream-coloured marble. My view was of the coliseum and the Tiber River. Italy was absolutely beautiful. The city of love. If only Jake could come. Maybe it would've helped our marriage.

It was three o'clock. I decided to go out exploring. There were little cafés and bars all over the streets. I just kept walking and walking, till it was dark. At this point I was sitting on the ledge of the Trevi fountain. It was a beautiful sight to see. I closed my eyes and imagined my characters.

They were walking along the beach at night. The stars were shining brightly. He suddenly pulls her into his chest. She looks up at him and he leans down and places a gentle kiss on his lips. He holds her tighter to him. She snakes her arms around his neck, as the kiss becomes very passionate.

'Beautiful night.' A voice stated from next to me. My eyes shot open.

'Yes, yes it is.' I was pulled back into reality, and I noticed where I was. 'Wait, how did you know I wasn't Italian?'

'Lucky guess.' He chuckled. What a beautiful sound. 'No, my step-sister loves your books, so you learn things.' He walked out of the shadows.

I gasped. It was Adonis himself. He looked like the Greek god. His bronze locks, sticking out in all directions, made him look unbelievably sexy. His eyes were pools of Emerald green.

'What is a beautiful young woman like you, doing out at night in a strange city?' I blushed, luckily it was dark.

'I needed inspiration for my new book.'

'Jane will be pleased to hear that.'

I smiled. He smiled and my heart stopped beating. It was the sexiest smile I had ever seen.

'I don't even know if I can write it though. I have writers block, that's I came to Italy. My husband suggested it.'

'Oh. Well, he must be very helpful to you.'

I scoffed, 'Yeah of course.' He laughed at my reply.

'So you don't get along with him then?'

'Yes, we do get along. It's just...' I trailed off.

'The love has gone. Or wasn't there any to start with.'

'I used to love Jake but like you mentioned, the love has vanished. Don't get me wrong I love him...in a way but not like I used to.'

'Yeah.'

'I'm sorry. I'm telling my life story to a total stranger. Sorry.'

'Well, let's change that. I'm Edward Masen. I live in an apartment in the outskirts of Rome. I grew up in the centre of Volterra with my step-father Aro, my step-sister Jane, her twin Alec and my step-uncles Markus and Caius. My hobbies are playing piano and guitar. My favourite song is Clair De Lune by Debussy. I'm 24 years old and I'm currently single. I am a doctor in the city.'

I laughed, 'You sound like you're putting an advert in the paper for a girlfriend.'

'I guess I do.' He laughed as well.

'Well, it's nice to meet you Edward. You probably know me as Isabella Swan, but I prefer to be called Bella. I live in La push, Washington in America with my lousy husband Jake. I grew up in Forks, Washington with my dad Charlie and my mom Renée. My hobbies are writing and reading classics. My favourite song is also Clair De Lune by Debussy. I'm 22 years old and I'm a writer. I've already published three books. All of them are romantic stories with a tragic ending.'

'Well, it's nice to meet you too Bella and might I say that that name suits you very well.' I blushed again and looked up at the sky. I looked back at him as our eyes locked.

'Bella? Would you like to have coffee with me tomorrow?'

'I would love to.'

'Good. Well, it's getting late. May I walk you back?'

'Of course.'

The next chapter will be thier date. Woo. Please review, I love hearing from you guys. Thx!
