Chapter 4

Europe Part One

Carlisle and Esme were driving us to the airport. Our plane left at 6:00 in the morning and we had to be there by 5:00. It is 4:00 and we were going to the Seattle Airport. I slept for most of the drive my head resting on Edward's shoulder. I think Alice purposely sat us next to each other.

"Bella, we are at the airport." My eyes fluttered opened and I got out of the car. Grabbing our bags the six of us made our way into the airport.

"Bye kids. Have fun." Esme said, giving us each a hug.

"All of you be careful, and enjoy yourselves." Carlisle said.

"Thanks." We all said at the same time, waving and continuing our way inside. The luggage check in, and security took a long time. We barely made it to the gate in time. Rosalie and Emmett sat next to each other as well as Alice and Jasper. That left me to sit next to Edward, not that I minded.

"This is going to be a long flight." Edward said once we were in our seats.

"Yes it is. I guess it will be worth it since we get an awesome vacation out of it."

"That's true." He said smiling. Gosh, how I loved his smile. The pilot announced that we were taking off so seatbelts needed to be fastened. As soon as we were in the air I fell asleep again. I woke up feeling less tired. Alice was still sleeping and Jasper also. Emmett and Rosalie were engrossed in a conversation. Edward was looking out the window, not that there was much to look at besides water.

"Good morning Sleeping Beauty." He said. I laughed.

"Did you sleep at all?" I asked.

"Eh, only a little bit. I might sleep more a little later."

"Oh, ok. How long have we been flying?"

"About 3 hours."

"Wow, I was asleep for awhile." I said mostly to myself.

"Yes you were, but it looked like you needed it."

"Yeah, I did. I'm not a morning person." I said. He laughed. Everyone else decided to join in on our conversation. We were talking about things to do and stuff. Towards the end of the flight we gradually got lost in different conversations. Edward and I were in a deep discussion, well playing twenty questions. We had a lot in common. Both of us liked the same music, loved to read books and similar taste in food. The pilot then announced we would be landing. Our first stop was London. We exited the plane and retrieved our luggage. Luckily none of it was lost.

"London here we come!" Alice yelled as we walked out of the airport. The rest of us laughed but Emmett eventually joined in. After getting in taxis we headed to the hotel we would be staying at. Everything was pre-paid. We had three rooms to our name. Of course Alice split us up based on couples. Making it so Edward and I had to share I room. I saw how this little pixie's mind was working now. We each went into our rooms and go settled in.

"You don't mind sharing a bed right? If you do I can sleep on the couch or floor." Edward said.

"It is ok. The bed is big enough. You don't need to sleep on the couch." I told him.

"Ok." He smiled. An annoying pounding came from the door, "Edward! Bella! Come one we are going out to eat." Alice yelled through the door.

"We should probably get going." I said.

"Yeah, let's go before Alice breaks down the door." Edward replied. I laughed and he placed his hand on the small of my back leading me out the door. We met up with Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper.

"There is a small café around the corner I thought we could try. Does that sound good to everyone?" Alice asked. We all agreed and began walking down the streets of London. IT was a beautiful night but kind of chilly and I had forgotten my jacket.

"You look cold. Would you like to borrow my jacket?" Edward asked.

"No it is ok. You keep it." I said

"I insist Bella." He said slipping his coat around my shoulders.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome." And he gave me his famous crooked grin. We reached the café. It wasn't too crowded, so we got a seat quickly. Dinner was delicious. All of us were exhausted from the long plane ride so we headed back to our rooms. I went into the bathroom to take a shower. When I was done Edward did the same. I went to the window and looked out at the city. It was beautiful and I couldn't wait to see more of it. I laid down and waited for Edward before I turned out the lights. He came out of the bathroom and lid down.

"So we didn't get to finish our game of twenty questions." Edward said propping his head on his hand with his elbow on his pillow. I laughed.

"Do you want to finish it?" I asked.

"Only if you want to. I don't want to keep you from sleeping."

"I don't mind." I said. We stayed up late, just talking and eventually fell asleep.

I woke up to someone knocking on the door. I got up and answered it. It was Emmett, "Why are you waking me up? Usually it is Alice. But you knock just as obnoxiously as her" I said laughing. He laughed also.

"I know but Alice is in the shower and told me to give you this," he said handing me an outfit," Rose is doing your hair."

"Ok. We will be down soon." I said.

"Ok." Then he went back into his room. I unfolded the outfit and looked at it. I guess it wasn't too bad. It was a pair of skinny jeans with a purple quarter sleeve top. Instead of heels I got purple converse and then a pair of black sunglasses and a black purse. I have to say it was cute. Before I got dressed I woke up Edward.

"Time to get up" I said quietly. He didn't move. I slightly shook his shoulder and he started to wake up. So I went to go change. When I came back he was awake and dressed talking to Rosalie.

"Ready for me to do your hair?" she asked.

'Sure." I sat down on a chair and she straightened my hair and pinned one side back with a small black bow.

"Ok you are all done." She said.

"Thanks Rose." I smiled.

"Your welcome." Then she left. I noticed Edward wasn't there and figured he must have left while Rose was doing my hair. I grabbed my purse and went to go find everyone else. I ran into Jasper.

"Sorry Jasper." I said.

"Don't worry about it Bella."

"Where is everyone else?"

"Emmett and Edward are downstairs which is where I was going. Alice and Rosalie are finishing getting ready."

"Ok thanks!" I called walking towards Alice's room. He nodded and continued on his way. I knocked before going into the room.

"Come in." I heard Alice call. I walked and Alice was doing her hair. Not that there was much to do with it.

"Oh my gosh Bella! That outfit looks so cute." She squealed.

"Thanks Alice. I really like. Oh and thanks for not making me wear heels. Your outfit is cute also" I said

"Your welcome and thank you." She was wearing a pair of dark blue skinny jeans. Her top was a black cotton tank top with a dark red cardigan to go over it. She had black heels and a black purse. Her hair was in its normal spiky do.

"Are ready to go?" I asked her.

"Yeah, come on." She laughed dragging me out of her room where we met up with Rose.

"Where are we going anyway?" I asked.

"The Tower of London." I had always wanted to go there. We got to the lobby and everyone was waiting.

"Seriously you take forever to get ready." Emmett said.

"Don't look at me. It is your girlfriend and my best friend. I was done half an hour ago." I defended. He laughed.

"Come one, we are wasting precious time to see the amazing sites!" Alice exclaimed. We walked out of the lobby and hopped on a bus. We took the upper level. I sat next to Edward.

"You look beautiful." He whispered in my ear.

"Thank you." I said blushing and putting my head down. He put his finger underneath my chin to lift my head back up, "Don't look down. You really do look beautiful and I like it when you blush." I blushed even more and he laughed.

"Do you know where we are going?' he asked me.

I nodded, "We are going to the Tower of London."

"I've always wanted to go there." He said.

"Me too." I replied.

"Well, it seems that is one more thing to add to the list of things we have in common." He chuckled.

"Yes it is." I told him. Soon the bus stopped at the Tower. It was even better in person.

"Do we want to take the tour or just look around ourselves?" Rosalie asked.

"Tour." Emmett voted.

"Tour." Jasper agreed. The rest of us wanted to walk around ourselves.

"Four against two. We win!" Exclaimed Alice. Laughing we began to walk around. For being a place of torture and death the Tower was amazing.

"This is incredible." Edward said. I agreed.

He grabbed my hand and said in a low voice, "Come here, I want to show you something." We snuck away from everyone else and I followed Edward. Somehow he got us to the top. It had an amazing overview of London.

"Wow." I breathed. It was beyond words. You could see the crowded London streets, Big Ben, and the London Bridge.

"Let's take a picture." Edward suggested.

"Ok." I got out my camera and he took it from me.

"Hey, why can't I take the picture?" I asked.

"Because I would like to take the picture." He said looking me straight in the eyes and smiling.

I huffed, "Ok, fine. Go ahead and take the picture." He smiled triumphantly. He put his arm around my waist and pulled me close.

"Smile!" he said. I did and he took the picture. I looked back at the picture, it was really good.

"Should we go find everyone else?" he asked.

"Yeah, they are probably wondering where we are at." I said. We made our way back down the tower and back to where our friends were. Alice was the first to spot us.

"Where did you two go?" she asked suspiciously. I was going to answer but Edward beat me to it, "It's a secret."

"Bella will tell me later. I know how to get it out of her." Alice said. Edward laughed, but I didn't because I knew it was true.

"I'm hungry!" Emmett yelled.

"Let's go get lunch then." Rosalie suggested. "I saw a small sandwich cart around the corner. Does that sound good to everyone?" We all agreed and walked to go get the sandwiches. They were really good.

"I want to go shopping." Alice exclaimed. Oh no.

"I'm not going on this shopping trip." I immediately said.

"Since we are in the beautiful town of London I won't make you go this time. You can hang out with Edward." She said with a wink and grabbing Jasper's arm to go into the nearest store.

"I think Emmett and I are going to go look around at some shops also." Rosalie said walking away. I knew what they were doing.

"What should we do? Since our friends are so nice and decided to ditch us." Edward said with a chuckle.

"I'm not really sure. I don't really know what there is to do around here." I told him.

"Well, we can just walk around if you want." He suggested.

"Sounds good." I smiled. He nodded and we just walked the streets. Meeting back up with everyone at the hotel later we went out to dinner again. The first week in London went fast and soon we were on our way to Rome. The same sleeping arrangements were kept. We arrived late at night so all of us crashed and slept in the next morning. I was woken by Edward.

"Alice is coming. She says you have to go take a shower then she will have your outfit for you and she is going to do you hair." I groaned.

"Even in another country she still doesn't get out of playing Bella Barbie." He laughed.

"Bella you better be in the shower!" Alice yelled through the door. Edward smiled and I got up to go take a shower. I must have been in there along time because someone was knocking on the bathroom door.

"Hurry up Bella!" It was Rosalie. I quickly got out and wrapped a towel around me. Opening the door I saw she was all ready. "You look gorgeous Rose." I said. She was wearing a pair of light blue ripped skinny jeans. Her top was a cream colored smocked off the shoulder shirt. She had a brown jacket and brown heels to complete it.

"Alice wanted me to let you know that she is letting you pick your own outfit today." Rosalie told me. I was shocked.

"Alice is letting me pick my own outfit?" I exclaimed. Rosalie laughed.

"Yes, because she decided that if we go out she gets to pick your dresses so why not let you pick your day outfits."

"Well tell her thank you and I will be done soon." I said

"Ok, but she is still doing your hair." Rosalie added. I laughed.

"Ok." Then she left and I went to go pick out my outfit. I decided on a pair of dark jeans with a teal Abercrombie and Fitch shirt. I wore teal vans and a white cardigan. Alice came in to do my hair.

"This isn't that bad of an outfit." She said with a smile.

'Thanks." Then she proceeded to curl my hair in loose curls. When I was done we went downstairs to meet up with the guys.

"Are we going to the Coliseum? " Jasper asked when we were all in the lobby.

"That would be cool to see." Emmett said.

"Yeah, we should go." Alice said. So it was decided, we were going to the Coliseum. Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett walked outside and Edward came over to me.

"Care to accompany me?" he asked holding his arm out. I giggled, took his arm and answered "I would love to." He smiled and led me outside. We drove over to the Coliseum. We decided to take the tour on this one.

"Gone shopping at any of the wondrous Roman shops?" I asked Alice.

"No not yet. But I want to. Will you come?" she said.

"I'll think about it." I told her and smiled. She hooked her arm through mine and Rosalie's and we finished the tour. When it was over we decided to ditch the guys and go somewhere else.

"Ok on a count of three we are just going to run." Rosalie said. I laughed and nodded.

"Got it." Alice said.

"One, two, three." Then we bolted away from the guys and into the street with the crowd of people. We didn't look back to see if they were looking.

"Want to look in some shops?" I asked. Rosalie looked at me.

"Bella Swan wants to look in shops? What has Europe done to our Bella Alice?" she said.

"Wow, are you feeling alright. You do look a little pale Bella." Alice said laughing. I rolled my eyes.

"I don't mind going shopping as long as you guys don't threaten my life with it. Sometimes it is not that bad." I said. They both smiled.

"Then let's go." Alice added. We walked into the closest shop. There were antiques and some clothes. After looking for a little bit we went into a different one. I saw Emmett, Jasper and Edward over by a fountain.

"Alice, Rosalie. Come here. They found us, well are looking for us." I pointed out where they guys were.

We hurried out of that shop and went somewhere else. We ended up going separate ways by complete accident. I found a small alley that led to a different fountain. I walked down it but screamed when someone wrapped their arms around my waist. I turned around and saw Edward.

"You know we were going to find you." He told me.

"Yes I did, but I didn't think it would be this quick." I replied. He laughed. When he stopped he just looked into my eyes. We were in a comfortable silence. He started to lean towards me. I thought he was going to kiss me. The moment was ruined when Alice yelled, "Found them!" Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett followed her to where we were standing. He quickly let go of me and took a step away. I sighed.

"Want to get some dinner?" Jasper asked. Everyone said yes, I just nodded my head. Edward and I didn't talk for the rest of the evening. Something changed after our almost kiss in that alley. The rest of the week was fun. We just walked around the city. The next day were headed to Paris. I couldn't wait to see the Eiffel Tower.

Next chapter is the final part to the trip then they head back to the states :)
