Welcome back everyone. Hope y'all are doing good...
I know it's been a while since I've updated this story. It's just that I've had a little bit of writer's block with where I want this story to go. Please bear with me…

Bella:
I am so tired. Thankfully, we have a few days in between venues. I plan to sleep in late on at least one of our days off. Wishful thinking, I know. We are in Dallas, Texas now and I know Alice has been looking online at places we could tour since none of us have ever been to Texas. My dad even plans to come with us.
We are staying at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas. I have to say this is the nicest room we have had so far. The bed is so comfortable that I didn't want to get out of it this morning. I loved waking up next to Edward every morning, regardless of whether I was wrapped in his arms or not.
I snuck out of the bed and gathered my clothes that I would be wearing for the day. I paddled into the bathroom for a shower. The bathroom was gorgeous, with its glass sliding door to the shower. It had a waterfall shower head that would hit my body evenly. Add the shower to the list of things I didn't want to stop doing. I need to get one of these for my place.
It wasn't long before Edward came into the bathroom. Thankfully, the toilet is in a separate part of the bathroom which is where he went first. Once he was done, he joined me in the shower, not that I was complaining. However, we would have to behave ourselves since we actually didn't have a lot of time before we had to meet everyone down stairs.
Edward's hand started to wander down my sides and as much as I enjoyed it, I knew he needed to stop.
I sighed, "Baby. We can't. We don't have enough time."
"I know but seeing you naked and wet, I couldn't help myself." He smirked.
I turned and kissed his chest. "Finish up and get dressed."
I exited the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I lotioned my legs and arms and proceeded to get dressed in jean shorts and a multi-colored tank top. Once my hair was blow dried, I threw it up in a ponytail. I didn't apply any makeup, just chapstick. Now came the debate, did I want to wear sneakers or sandals? I decided on sneakers since we will be doing a lot of walking.
I decided to pack a bag with beach towels, bathing suits, and sunblock in case we decided we wanted to hit a beach or lake. Since my dad would be with us, he could set up private visits and such.
"Are you ready yet?" I yelled to Edward who was still in the bathroom.
"Yeah. What's the rush woman?" He laughed as he came out of the bathroom without a shirt on.
I laughed. "Yeah okay, you are not ready. You don't have your shirt on."
"Relax. It will take a second to put it on."
"Hurry up. I'm hungry." I said as I put our wallets and phones into my bag. No need to take a purse since I have the bag.
I called Alice on the room phone while Edward finished getting ready.
"Good morning Bella." Answered Alice's cheery voice.
"What? How? How did you know it was me?" I asked.
She laughed. "I'm psychic."
I laughed with her. "Yeah okay. Anyway, I'm calling because I wanted to know what time our reservations are for? It seems someone is taking too long to get dressed over here." I laughed.
"We have thirty minutes till our reservations but I think we should get there early because there are cameras posted around already." She sighed.
"Great. So I guess that means we can't walk there then?" I asked.
She sighed again. "That would be a no."
"Fucking great. Alright Ali, we will see you downstairs in about ten minutes."
"Okay great. Bye."
"Bye."
I felt Edwards arms around me. "What's wrong sweetheart?"
"Alice said there are cameras everywhere outside so we can't walk to the restaurant."
Edward had the nerve to laugh. "Yeah baby, that tends to happen when someone becomes famous."
I huffed. "Glad you find it funny. How are we supposed to tour if they are following us?"
"Baby, I'm sure your dad has something up his sleeves. Besides, Garrett, Emmett, and I will be with you all, so don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you." Edward said, placing a kiss to my forehead.
"Okay. Grab the bag and let's head downstairs then." I told him as I grabbed our room keys. "Remind me to put these in our wallets so we don't lose them."
Edward opened the room door and stepped on something as he walked through it. We looked down and noticed an envelope. Odd.
"What's that?" I asked.
He bent over and picked it up and read the front. "I don't know but it's addressed to you."
"What? Let me see."
He handed it to me and I looked at it. He was right. It was to me. That's weird. "I'm taking this with us to show my dad. I'll open it there. Let's go. I don't feel comfortable in the hallway now."
The elevator took forever to get to us and down to the lobby. I made sure we stayed in view of the cameras until everyone meant up with us.
My dad spoke once he made it to us. "Everyone here?"
"Yes sir."
"Good. Here's how today is going to work. We have three suvs parked outside. They will escort us everywhere we go. I have also hired extra security. Not saying you three guys aren't enough, it's just extra precaution. Now load up." My dad ordered.
"Mr. take charge." Emmett laughed.
"Em, when have you ever seen dad not take charge?" I laughed.
He shrugged. "True Bellybean." God, I hated that nickname.
We headed to the restaurant once we all loaded into the vehicles. We didn't go to the front like I was expecting and good thing too because there was a whole hell of a lot of people out front. Appentally, Alice called a head and explained what was going on so they told her to have us enter through the back. Smart idea.
Once we entered, we were guided to a private room, like a conference room. This was good because the other customers couldn't see us except when we entered the room, but luckily for us, the extra body guards hid us well.
The servers on the other hand knew who we were and couldn't keep the smiles off their faces.
I was a little upset that Edward, Emmett, and Garrett couldn't sit with us right now but they had to do their jobs right now. Edward stood against the wall behind my chair as Emmett did the same with Rose. Garrett stood over by Angela and Alice. The rest of the guards were scattered around the room and by the doors.
Alec spoke once our food order was placed and the server left the room.
"Angela and I found an envelope at our room door when we were leaving. I told her to wait to open it till we got here." He said.
"You aren't the only ones. I had one too." I said pulling it from my bag.
They were the same, even the print on the front.
"I wonder what they say." said Rose.
"Only one way to find out. Open them." said Jasper.
I carefully opened it and pulled the paper out. It was a letter made with magazine letters. There also was a photo of Edward and I kissing in California. Edward's face had a black X marked through it.
"What?' I said, looking at the photo.
"Looks like you guys have a stalker, maybe." Jasper said.
"What do they say?" asked Rose. "Ang, what are your pictures of?"
I looked up. "You have more than one?" I asked.
"Yeah. There's one of Alec and one of me." She answered. "I don't know how a fan could get this photo because it was backstage after one of our concerts in California."
"Who are you kissing?" Asked Alice.
She sighed. "Ben. It was our first kiss." She blushed.
Alec showed his photo which looked harmless until I saw his cheeks turn a little red. It was a photo of him with Seth, the backstage guy who hands Jasper and I our guitars. It looked like they were laughing and Seth had his hand on Alec's arm. This photo just outed Alec.
"These two photos were taken backstage. That means it's someone who works with us because these are two different nights." My dad said. "I will get someone to look into this. What do the letters say?"
I read mine first.
My Dearest Bella
I have known and loved you from afar
You need a real man to please you
Yet you chose your bodyguard
Disgrace
See you soon my love
"Yeah, totally not creepy at all." I shivered.
Angela read hers next.
Angela
I have known you a long time
You always overlooked me
Like the rest of your friends
The time will come to meet
Think of me until then
Alec read his.
Oh Alec
I hope you enjoyed your photo
Did I out you
I hope I did
Serves you right
Until next time
None of us were happy after reading our letters. This person has either been working with us or followed us everywhere. I am personally freaked out.
My dad had his phone to his ear while barking orders to Alice. "Alice, I need you to move everyone to another hotel, preferably with better security. Use whatever name you please. Make sure all the staff are aware of the non disclosure papers and make sure that you witness them signing it. I will have guards stationed throughout the hotel."
"Yes sir." Alice answered while pulling her phone from her bag.
"Gentlemen, I would like you to take a car to the hotel and pack everyone's stuff up." My dad told Emmett, Edward, and Garrett. "Also touring for the day is over. I don't trust this person to not be following us."
We understood where my dad was coming from but that didn't mean that we weren't disappointed. I looked to Alec to see how he was doing. He wasn't ready to tell anyone. I was the only one who knew. I only knew because I had seen him writing a song and asked him about it. I promised him I wouldn't say anything. I caught his eye.
I mouthed, "You okay?"
He shrugged in response.
This day just got longer.

Ohh a twist. Whatever shall happen next? Stay tuned.
Until next time, stay safe out there.
