Chapter 10

"There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them."-Sylvia Plath

Bella's POV

I was exhausted. This day had been a long one. The windows of the car were rolled down slightly so a gentle breeze floated through. Edward had turned on the radio and the music was blasting. He was driving faster than usual. I knew he had a "need for speed" on a good day but today was different… he was anxious.

"Edward are you okay?" I asked him sweetly while grabbing a pair of sunglasses out of my purse.

"Fine...I'm just super tired" he explained with a yawn. His eyes never left the road.

"I know what you mean. What time did you go to bed last night anyways" I questioned.

"3:30. We had a lot to do in a short period of time. Thank God Alice and Jasper helped me pack or else we'd be going to Boston with nothing" he laughed.

"Wow I can see why you're so tired. I guess were heading to the hotel right now then?" Edward nodded.

"Unless you want to go somewhere first…" he added.

"Nope…I'm tired too and dying for a bubble bath. I can take one of those at this hotel right? I mean they'll have a bathtub…" I said

"Three bathtubs to be exact… so yes you can take a bubble bath. Alice packed you everything you'd need for one. She even bought you this cute little pink rubber ducky that can join you. Alice told me that you still need to name her…" he said with a smile and glanced at me.

I laughed. "Alice is so thoughtful. I'll have to thank her for all of this when we get back. Hmmmm a name for my ducky…Squeegee! I like that name for a duck" I chimed. Edward agreed and commended me on my creativeness. All of a sudden he put the car in park but kept the engine running.

"We're here!" he said.

I was paying so much attention to Edward and thinking of a name for my duck that I hadn't even noticed we had reached the hotel. I hopped out of the car when the valet had gotten in to replace Edward. I took a look at the front of the hotel. It was stunning. It looked like a hotel the royal family would stay at…castle like. Very classy. Red banners hung everywhere and danced in the wind. Beautiful gardens flanked the entrance to the lobby of the hotel. When I was done admiring the beauty of the hotel Edward was by my side holding my hand. The bellboy had already taken our luggage in and was leading us to the front desk. There we were greeted by an older gentleman.

"Edward!" he boomed "we've been expecting you!" he mentioned with a huge grin.

"Hello Henry. It's very good to see you! It's been what…maybe a couple of years since my family has been here?" . Edward obviously knew this Henry fellow.

"I believe so son" Henry confirmed "and who may I ask is this beautiful young lady with you?" he asked while beaming down at me. I blushed. Compliments always had a way of bringing a bright red colour to the apples of my cheeks.

"This is my girlfriend Bella" Edward answered while I reached out my hand to shake Henrys.

"It's very nice to meet you Bella" Henry added once I shook his hand.

"Likewise" I answered. Henry now had obverted his attention to paperwork, informed Edward that we'd be staying in the usual suite and that our luggage would be already in the room. Meanwhile I was taking in the look of the lobby. Everything was gold. The chairs, the floor, and the chandeliers. This was no Hilton. This was high class. I'd never stayed in a place like this before. I was in awe. I even noticed that they had several aquariums built into the wall that Henry now faced away from. Every colour fish possible swam through the crystal blue water. This was just gorgeous. I felt a tug on my shirt and noticed Edward was pulling me towards the elevators. We stepped in and Edward told the operator we were staying on the top floor. I decided to break the silence between us by asking how Edward knew Henry so well.

"Oh well when my dad had to speak at Harvard or have alumni meetings he'd always bring the family down with him as a mini vacation. We'd always stay here in the same suite…the one were staying in. We came to know Henry after a couple of visits. He's a very nice man…worked here since he was sixteen years old" Edward said.

"Interesting" I said. "So the whole family has been here to see Harvard?" I asked while we stepped off the elevator.

"Yepp. We all know Harvard like the back of our hands…even Rose and Jasper. Now it's your turn" he said while he kissed my forehead. He pulled the room key out of his back pocket and opened the door to our suite.

I walked in and was immediately in shock. The suite was enormous. The furniture was a deep espresso colour and the couches were a bright orange. The walls were painted a light shade of brown and several architectural prints were suspended on them. I stepped away from the door to follow Edward deeper into our room. The hardwood floor matched the colour of the furniture impeccably and covered majority of the suite. The suite was actually like a mini house. It had a full kitchen, dinning room, and living room. Three bedrooms spanned the length of the suite, each having their own personal bathrooms. I kept walking towards the middle of the family room. The view was stunning. Through the windows we had a perfect view of what appeared to be a park. I saw kids running around and people walking their dogs amongst the beautiful greenery. I moved closer to the window for a better look. It turned out the window was a sliding door that opened up to a spacious patio where a small table and some chairs sat. I pushed the slider open and made my way to the railing of the patio which I somewhat leaned over. I felt Edward wrap his arms around my waist.

"Hi beautiful" he whispered in my ear before kissing my neck.

"Hi handsome. This is absolutely stunning. You went way overboard my love…thank you" I said as I turned around to kiss him.

"It was my pleasure Bella. Now I hate to interrupt the romance but I'm actually starving. How about you?" he asked.

"I'm famished. Can we just get room service though? I don't want to leave the room just yet" I said

"You read my mind" Edward spoke very softly, never letting me out of his grasp. "What are you in the mood for?"

"Pizza!" I suggested

"I could go for pizza" he mentioned and leaned in to kiss me. I didn't want to let go of him but he broke the kiss and was hurrying to the suites phone to order. I sat on one of the patio chairs. The sun was barely starting to set by the time Edward returned. He sat down near me in another chair and handed me beer from the mini bar. I was surprised first by the fact that we were underage and it was illegal to drink but also by the fact that Edward had opted to. He rarely drank. I'd only see him drink at family occasions and the occasional party and it was never in excess. I wasn't a big drinker myself but I didn't mind having a beer now and then.

"What's this about?" I asked Edward while taking a sip of my beer.

"Just wanted to relax. I'm dying of heat actually. It's dead hot here today. You don't mind do you?"

"Not at all" I said as I moved my bottle close to tap his. "Cheers Baby". Edward simply smiled and gave me a quick wink and then there was a light knock at the door. Edward was starting to get up from his chair but I pushed him down.

"You relax. I'll get the door" I said while patting his head and leaving my beer on the table. I slumped off to the door of the suite and swung it open.

"Hi" I said to the woman who was pushing our cart of food.

"Hi there!" she said with great enthusiasm. "I'm just dropping off your pizza and salads".

"Oh excellent thanks very much" I said while moving out of the way of the door allowing her to push the cart into the suite.

"Where would you like me to leave the cart?" she asked politely.

"You know what?…just there is fine. I'll deal with it" I said. The lady nodded and began walking back to the door. I slipped her some money for her efforts and told her to have a good night. She bid me the same.

I made my way back to the cart. Grabbed the pizza tray, the salads, forks, and a couple of plates from the kitchen and made my way back outside.

"Here we are" I announced as I plopped all the food on the table. Edward and I both grabbed a plate and a piece of pizza each and spooned some salad out onto our plates.

"Isabella Swan you're a cheap date. Do you know that?" he asked while laughing.

"I do know that" I said with a wink.

We finished our beers and food quite quickly. Edward offered to wash the dishes while I made my way to my room to get ready for my bath. Edward told me he was going to call Emmett to check in. Football was on tonight and they had to be in communication. Boys will be boys.

I had chosen the bedroom on the far left of the suite. It had the biggest bathtub but I didn't tell Edward that's why I had chosen it. I grabbed by suitcases from near the door and pulled them into my room. They were unbelievably heavy. Once I managed to lay them on the floor I opened them up looking for my toiletry bag…or bags I should say. Alice packed about 5 bags full of junk…makeup, brushes, and my favourite bubble bath with my little pink duck attached to it. "Hi squeegee" I said while giving the duck a little squeeze. I had no idea why Alice had bought me a rubber ducky but she was a very cute duck to say the least. I made my way to the bathroom and turned on the water to fill up my tub. I poured a generous amount of bubble bath into the tub and waited for the bubbles to begin appearing. Within minutes the tub was filled with the perfect amount of bubbles and was calling my name. I removed all my clothes, grabbed Squeegee off the vanity, and hopped into the hot water. It was so relaxing. I felt the tension of the day slip away. Travelling was a hard gig. There was nothing glamorous about it. I closed my eyes and let my mind wander. Then there was a knock at the door. "Ugh" I thought to myself.

"What do you need Edward?" I asked nicely.

"Bella I HAVE to come in there" he said with urgency in his voice. Then I saw the door knob twist….
