Hey!
So, this story is not very far along and as you all should know, I started writing it for my best friend's birthday last year when she turned sixteen! Today is April 22nd, 2010 and she has just turned seventeen. I would appreciate it if you guys said a little happy birthday in the comments if you review, which I would love and to let me know what you think!
I love you Steff and I hope your birthday and Drama production goes awesome! Oh yeah, say good luck for the drama production too! She's the director for the school play!!!
Oh, and one more thing... The water bottle incedent you will read about in this chappy is not a fake story, when we were in Frankfurt airport for our Euro-trip, Steff was the one who got stopped exactly how I wrote it in the chappy! Just imagine it... :P
Anyways...
LET'S ROLE!...
BPOV
Rosalie and I woke up early the next morning, like, before the wake up call, early. For once we weren't dying of sleep deprivation or a hang over so we were all ready and awake. Alice came with Jasper and Dennis with the limo after we were all packed up and set off on our way to the Frankfurt airport.
"Do you guys want to get breakfast at the airport or on the plane?" Alice asked while playing brick breaker on her black berry.
"At the airport, I'm not tolerating any more problems on the plane in regards to beverages…" Rose said and eyed me. She must be referring to the tea mishap.
"Yeah, I second that, we should have breakfast at the airport, and plus we're early." Dennis drove us and unloaded me and Rose's bags for us.
"Alice, didn't you bring bags?" Alice and Jasper laughed at us.
"Don't be silly, we're having our bags delivered by one of my assistants because she's meeting us there and I don't want to worry about all of those things. Plus Jasper was with me when I made arrangements so I did the same for him. I would've gotten your bags delivered but you guys had all of your clothes and stuff strewn across your hotel room and wouldn't have had time to get it all organized to be delivered." Well then.
"Wow, well she has everything figured out, Rose." She nodded in agreement and wonder.
"So we'll get breakfast and then check in all our stuff and board." We hugged Dennis goodbye trying really hard to hold back tears and failed miserably just to be told that he was being flown to Greece later on anyway. We looked like downright fools.
"Alright then, I guess we'll see you in a couple days, Dennis…" Rose said awkwardly and waved like a loser trying to hide the tears she was shedding not two minutes ago.
"See ya Dennis!" Dennis laughed and waved goodbye as he walked back to the parking lot.
We took our time eating breakfast and us girls went to the bathroom together while Jazz watched our bags with pleasure like a best friend's boyfriend should. He's such a sweetie.
"Are you girls excited for your photo shoots coming up?" Alice said from inside her stall.
"Sooooo excited!" Rose squealed form the stall right next to Alice's.
"I was avoiding the subject since you first mentioned it, but now I guess I have to face it… Oh, and no, I'm freaking terrified!" I said in the stall next to Rose's as we all flushed simultaneously.
We walked up to the sinks and mirrors, examining our faces as we washed our hands.
"Well Bella, honestly, I don't want some crack whore regular old model to be shooting my lingerie lines, I need people I know will be suitable for the outfits. You guys are perfect for the pieces I chose you for, so you don't really have a choice unless you want my career to be thrown out the window." Alice said putting full guilt trip powers into her words with a smirk.
"Well I'm obviously going to do the shoot, I'm just not promising anything good to come out of this." I said drying my hands.
"Oh, I could think of a couple of good things that'll come out of this." Alice said attempting to be subtle, I let it go though. Rose smiled and rolled her eyes.
"I personally can't wait for this, and maybe, just maybe, I can win the bet with this kind of shoot on my repertoire." Rose said winking. Well great, and I thought we broke the winking phase, apparently not!
"You don't need a repertoire to win the bet!" I stated in an exasperated tone.
"Don't act like you need one, Bella." Alice rolled her eyes. "Alright ladies, let's get going, I think we need to check in…" Alice said flipping her wrist to see the time on her designer watch.
"Yeah Jasper must be falling asleep waiting for us." I said as we walked out of the bathroom.
We got back to the spot where Jasper was waiting. He got up and kissed Alice on the nose and she giggled. Oh my god, they're too cute.
"Are we ready to go ladies?" He asked looking up from Alice to us.
"We sure are, let's get going." Rose said all excited.
"Yo, guys, we're going to mother fucking GREECE!" I said in a shocked tone as we walked to the check in and get our bags checked. Rosalie and I both had a mini suitcase and messenger bag as carry on's.
Alice and Jasper waited behind us to get their carry on's checked after us. Alice only had a messenger bag and Jasper as well.
The line was huge and apparently our flight was early and we didn't have much time to get to the boarding gates…
"I'm getting kind of scared, we're very pressed for time right now and the line is huge!" Alice stated and Jasper had a worried look on his face as well.
"Don't worry about it. Jasper, can you ask the guy checking bags if we could get checked like now or something so we don't miss our flight?" Rose asked hopefully.
"I don't think we're allowed to butt in front of everyone else… I'll ask but I'm not sure we're gonna be getting out of here anytime soon." He said as he walked around all the people.
He got the attention of the guard and they spoke back and forth in German, I don't think it was getting anywhere but I had hope, as did Alice and Rosalie.
Jasper came jogging back from the front of the line and waved for us to go to the front too. I was so happy we didn't have to miss our plane!
"Alright guys, get your sweaters and shoes off quick. We need to get to the gates in ten minutes if we want to make it." Alice said like a drill sargeant. Rose, Jasper and I did as Alice said as fast as possible and our bags were going through the belt thingy to get scanned. We walked through the body scan thing and something beeped.
We looked over and saw they were pulling something out of Rose's bag. It was a water bottle.
Fuck!
I looked over at her and she looked just about ready to shit herself. The guy motioned for her to go see him.
"Jasper go talk to the guy, tell him she forgot it there." Jasper nodded and started explaining to the guy. They went back and forth like before but Jasper looked frustrated as hell.
"What's happening? Tell them I'll throw it out, it doesn't matter!" Rose practically pleaded. The German officer looked like a hard ass.
"He's not listening he's just saying that you need to come with him and they're going to fine you like two hundred Euros and all of this protocol garbage, I swear this never happens, what the fuck?!" Jasper was pulling out his hair in pure frustration. I don't think I ever heard him swear.
"Listen mister, I didn't purposely bring the water bottle on my carry on, I simply forgot it was there, so if you could please just let me throw it out, so we can all catch our plane because it is leaving in seven freaking minutes, then that would be great!" Rose almost shouted.
"Shit fuck, Rose, get over here and stop yelling at him! You're gonna be fucking sent to jail, and we have to catch a plane so please try and be calm!" Alice shouted back. I think Jasper and I were the only relatively calm people here.
"Guys shut up and let Jasper talk or we're all being sent to jail, okay?" I said giving them death glares.
Jasper tried explaining to the guard that it wasn't purposely done and the guard kept talking about how we need to be brought into questioning for terrorism and shit. Well great, my dad the cop will love to see this on my record when I get back to Forks!
"He keeps insisting that we have to be brought to questioning and that we will be fined even if we aren't terrorists…" Jasper said ready to beat the fuck out of something.
"Jasper cam down let me talk to him." By this time we were all back in our shoes and sweater and had our bags except for Rose who was missing hers.
Alice was wearing her four inch heel boots with an additional one and a half inch platform making her roughly five foot six inches tall. Mind you, next to the six foot four tall guard it was nothing but even without the extra height she is deadly.
"Alright listen, I know you understand English so pay attention, we have a plane to catch which leaves in," She checked her watch. "Five minutes, and we need to go. I have a major photo shoot to direct and I'm am not letting you stop me from getting there so if you would please let us go it would make all of our lives so much easier because we're not fucking terrorists." Great, she was doing so great until she swore at him.
The guard laughed at us.
Fuck-the-what?
"Calm down little girl!" He said holding his stomach laughing at us some more. But really what the fuck is so fucking funny!? "I vas only joking around, you need to smile vonce and a vile, I vill throw out zeh vater bottle and you can leave, I'll call zeh boarding guards to hold zeh plane for another minute, you just need to sprint now." He smiled at us and waved good bye while passing Rose her bag. We all just about strangled the little fucker!
"Are you shitting me?!" Rose screamed as we all set off sprinting to the gate.
They better fucking hold that damn plane or I'll kill a mother fucker.
Alice was surprisingly fast in her boots and Jasper was at the front with her. Rose and I were sprinting with our mini suitcases and messenger bags hitting the backs of our legs with each stride. We ran onto the magic carpet thing and continued to sprint, technically now was the time for the plane to leave but we had a couple extra minutes to get there.
We passed countless smoking rooms on the way and Alice had to stop to take a puff of her asthma pump while we were only a minute away. It was kind of funny but really, I did not want to be laughing at a time like this.
We all got a two second breather and continued to sprint there. Everyone in the airport looked at us like we were actually retarded.
Jasper was the only one not hyperventilating, Rose, Alice and I were red and sweaty and dying. Jesus Christ, we needed to get back into shape ASAP!
We finally made it to the gates leaning on our knees hunched over trying to breathe. The ladies at the gates looked at us like they were about to kill us. We rummaged through our bags to get out boarding tickets out and finally got on the plane.
As we walked through our isle to get to our seats, everyone gave us death glares. I tried not to make eye contact but really, there was no where else to look.
The plane was a shuttle bus and was so tiny that the air was just that much hotter. Thank god we weren't sitting next to random people or I'd feel sorry for them and maybe just a bit threatened.
Since we were the last ones on the plane, there was no room for our suitcase carry on's to put in the over-head compartments. Well crap.
The flight attendant told us to sit down rather strictly and we did with much effort.
"Bella! Help me I can't get the suitcase under the seat!" Rose whispered to me.
"Neither can I, Jesus Christ this is so embarrassing." We looked like total messes. Hair falling out of messy buns, red shiny faces, panting breaths, and to top it off we had to be the losers trying to shove our suitcases under the seats. We ended up sitting like total retards with the suitcases slanted under the seats but not under the seats completely. Our legs were uncomfortably crunched up over the bags and we had to stay like that for the whole four hour flight.
"I could really use some water right now." That earned Rose several glares and she just sunk lower into her seat and looked out the window.
The whole plane ride Jasper was sitting next to this German man who looked like Charlie Brown. He was on his laptop and was breathing like a freaking Sloth! Jasper looked creeped out and annoyed. Maybe because said Charlie Brown eyed Alice up a couple of times with his beady little eyes…
We finally landed in Greece and from what we saw out the window, everything was green, blue, white and brown, it was so beautiful!
"Yasu! Welcome to Greece, we have now landed. We hope you have had a pleasant flight on Lufthansa Airlines."
"Oh, thank you Lord, Baby Jesus!" Alice said sliding off her sunglasses she put on for her nap and popped another gum in her mouth.
"So this is the plan, we're gonna get your bags and we have a car rented in Jazzy's name so were all going to ride together. We're gonna drive to the hotel and check in so we can get showered, changed and made up because we have dinner planned with some people sponsoring my line and Emmett and Edward will be joining us because the magazine is featuring us in a five page spread. So when you guys are showered I'm coming over from next door to do your hair and make up and wardrobe because we're getting interviewed and all!"
"Oh great, I'll make a fool of myself yet another time today." I said with fake enthusiasm.
"At least we'll be partially famous!" Rose said with genuine enthusiasm.
Jasper just snickered and we all exited the plane.
"So who knows how to speak Greek?" I asked.
"Well, I have an English Greek dictionary, and I know how to say 'hello', 'good morning' and 'good afternoon'."
"And how the hell do you say that?" Rose asked.
"Yasu, Calimera and Calispera."She stuck out her tongue, "Stick that in your juice box and suck it!"
"Or water bottle…" I said immediately regretting it and turned around to go to the bag pick up thing.
"Well Jasper knows some more and maybe he'll teach us some later." Alice said as if she was compromising with us.
"Sounds like a plan, maybe over dinner tonight we'll learn something." I said trying to look on the bright side of things; I mean we are in Greece, why not have fun?
"Are you girls done showering?!" Alice screamed form the other side of the door in the hall.
I laughed at her energy. "Let her in, Rose, I'm putting my hair in a towel and I'll be out for her torture in a minute!" I yelled back from inside the steamy bathroom.
"Hey girlies! Guess who comes bearing gifts!" Alice squealed as she bustled through the door holding a dress cover bag thing and two gift bags.
"Ohhh! Prezzies!" Oh, Rosalie.
"That's right; I got you each one of my unreleased lingerie sets to wear underneath these BEBE dresses. You know, not too overdone like a Chanel dress or anything but still fashionable and flirty." She gushed like a true fashion guru.
"Wow, Alice I can't believe you got us these! You really shouldn't be spending like this though, I mean these are designer dresses, but the lingerie is fine, don't hold back on giving us unreleased work of the famous Alice Brandon!" I said tearing through the zipper of the Dress bag which both dresses were in on their rightful hangers.
"Don't worry they were gifts!"
"Hell, don't bother holding back on giving us released work of the famous Alice Brandon either!" Rose said all excited.
"Okay, okay, let's breathe, girls, I know, I'm freaking out too. I think we're just a bit keyed up because we're going to be in the five page spread and all but, whew, let's just breathe and take it one step at a time."
We all closed our eyes and breathed in and out raising our arms as we inhaled and bringing them down for exhalations.
Kay, shut up, it works.
"Alright, now that we're calm, let's get fucking ready!" Rose exclaimed.
"So, Bella, you get the dress with the lace puff sleeves and turtle neck. I have the perfect pair of lavender dangly earrings to go and a matte mauve nail polish. Rose, for you, I got the tight lace cut out and metallic embroidered dress. It too is black. You're going to be wearing these dark silver metallic rod earrings and the metal wrist band to go with it. Bella, your shoes are black and leather and they're almost a boot but they don't go all the way up to your ankles, just almost. Rose, your shoes are silver sandals, and the heal isn't that high because we don't want you towering over Bella too much. Don't worry though, Bells has the four inch heals."
"This sounds like a lot, Alice." I looked at Rose intimidated and freaked out of my mind with all the fashion talk. "We should get started; we only have two hours now to get to the restaurant."
The girls nodded and we were ready sooner than expected.
Alice did my hair in a low bun with my bangs parted more to the side. Rosalie's hair was left naturally in her messy curls and fly aways. Alice said it looked runway-ish like that.
We were going to leave me with bare legs but it looked better with black pantyhose… It was a shame since I had just gotten my legs waxed, along with other body parts.
Our makeup was simple. Rose got metallic and black and I got deep purple undertones with black. Very dark looks.
"Are we ready to leave now?" Alice asked while looking us over one last time. She had gotten completely ready while Rose and I were getting our clothes on. Yeah, she was fast.
She was wearing an off white dress with a textured front and smooth sides; it also had a tie around the waist. It was magnificent. She gelled her hair back in a sleek 'do. Her off white suede boots came up to her knees making her look a hell of a lot taller.
We all walked out and were greeted by Jasper wearing a black Armani suit with an off white tie to match Alice that little bit.
"So they called and said they just got to the restaurant a minute ago and are having drinks so we should be heading out now." Jasper said.
"Wait, shit, aren't we late?" I almost screamed in panic.
"No, silly willy! Of course not, we have to be fashionably late, durr!" Alice said as if I were just a tad slow.
"Jeez Bells, even I knew that." Rose said rolling her eyes and flipping her hair. They all just laughed it off and we got into Jasper's rental black Aston Martin Vanquish.
"I can't wait to meet the people!" Rose clapped her hands bouncing in her seat.
"Tell me about it, this is incredibly exciting, Jazzy, pump the music!" Alice shouted.
We rolled down the windows and drove to the restaurant. It was one of the most exclusive restaurants in Greece. Only celebrities went to it.
We finally made it to the restaurant, put up the windows and turned down the music to have the car parked by the valet.
"Alright people, its show time." Alice said and bit her lip with a determined look on her face.
As we walked in I had seen the two most gorgeous people in the world.
"You lovely ladies must be Ms. Brandon's models." The burly one announced and handed us two drinks.
He was delicious.
We took the drinks.
"I'm Edward," The lankier one said. "You must be Bella and Rosalie." Edward said with the most panty moistening voice and look in the world.
We nodded and took a sip of our drinks looking at the both of them thinking of the possibilities…
You like?
Yeah, like I said, it's a true story...
NO JOKE!
