Chapter Ten: Paris
Later that night, after everyone had left and we were on our way to the airport, I hadn't heard a word from, or about Charlie. A thousand different possibilities kept running through my mind; was he hurt? Was he dead? Did they catch who had commited such an awful crime? Probably not; if there had been, they would have been broadcasting it on all the local news channels...wouldn't they? Unless they'd had to keep it all hush-hush.
"Stop thinking about it, sweetheart. It's not helping your nails any..." He said, pulling my hand away from my mouth as we sat in the Volvo, on our way to the airport behind Esme and Carlisle's car. Rosalie and Emmett were riding with them, and Jasper and Alice with Edward and I.
"Yeah...I'll just make you get a French manicure when we're in Paris...the city of lights. How romantic." She said with a smile, snuggling against Jasper and he smiled, putting an arm around her and kissing her forehead.
I smiled back at them and then over at Edward who had a hand on my knee as he drove. "Everything will be fine. Charlie is probably at home right now watching ESPN, seeing who won the last game against Texas State." He said reassuringly and I nodded. "Yeah...you're probably right." I said and sat back against my seat.
Thirty minutes later, we were in Seattle, in the air port terminal, waiting as the clock ticked the seconds by, mercilessly slowly. Finally, they called our gate and our luggage was taken below the plan as we boarded it. There weren't enough seats for us all to sit together, so we split up. Edward and I had to sit at the front where two empty seats were vacant and Emmett and Rosalie sat three rows back. Alice and Jasper had to sit in the second section of the plane with Esme and Carlisle.
I looked up at Edward, "What if Jacob does something to Charlie as a way to get us to come home...?" I asked fearfully.
Edward's eyes seemed troubled for a moment, then he pulled me against him, my head against his chest with his arms around me. "Shh...it will be alright, my love." He said, planting a kiss on the side of my head, his lips lingering there for a moment. "It will be alright. I will make sure Jacob does nothing to Charlie." He murmured quietly.
The plane finally took off and I closed my eyes, my head still comfortably against Edward's chest; I wasn't asleep. I couldn't sleep cause I was a vampire and vampires's didn't sleep. But you already knew that.
It seemed to take forever to get to Pair, fourteen hours total, and we all stepped off the planes; apparently we were the only ones who weren't jet lagged. We picked up our suitcases, Edward taking both mine and his own so I wouldn't have to carry anything and we walked out of the terminal with the rest of the family.
"Where are we staying?" Rosalie asked in curiosity.
"The De La Maria." Carlisle answered in a brilliant French accent.
"Sounds fancy!" Alice said brightly and we all laughed at her. "What?" She questioned.
"Nothing, dear." Jasper said, giving her a smile as he loaded her suitcase into one of the rental cars Carlisle had gotten. A Sedan for Edward to drive, and another for himself. Both silver.
We got into the cars and Edward followed Carlisle to the hotel. It was about a ten minute drive from the airport and I looked up at it in awe. It was white-marble looking and as tall as twenty stories. The French flags were flying high around the square garden in front of it filled with bright red and white roses.
As we got out of the cars, I saw Emmett produce a rose from behind his back and presented it to Rosalie. "A rose for Rosalie." He said suavely and I could hear Rosalie said with a smile as she took the rose, "Buttering me up for later, huh, babe?" She said mischievously and I could hear Alice gagging behind me. Rosalie shot her a sharp look.
Edward shook his head in amusement as he got our bags out and we all walked into the hotel behind Carlisle and Esme.
"Reservations for the Cullens." He said as he reached the front desk.
"Ah, yes, misour." The man said with a thick French accent as he typed something up on his computer. "Quatre rooms for ze Cullens?"
Carlisle nodded. "Yes."
"You are in rooms 1010, 1051, 1103, and 1207. You may all take your pick from ze rooms. I 'ope you enjoy your stay; if zere is anything I can 'elp you with, please let me know. I will be more than 'appy to 'elp."
"Thank you misour." He said and handed us all a room key; He handed Emmett the key to room 1103; Jasper the one to 1010, and Edward the one to 1207, keeping room 1051 for himself and Esme.
"Alright now you guys." He said as we walked towards the elevators. "If you need me, you know which room I'm in. Either call, or run. If there is any sign of trouble, lock the door and call my and Esme's room. Got it?"
Everyone nodded. "Okay. Behave." He said with a mischievous smile; he knew we'd do anything but behave. I mean, hello, Edward and I were on our honeymoon for the love of God.
We all filed into the elevator when it opened. Carlisle, Esme and Jasper and Alice all got out on the tenth floor and the doors shut, opening on the next floor to let Emmett and Rosalie off. Edward and I were left alone as the doors clinged shut and started rising to the next floor. "Not still worrying, my love, are you?" He asked, his eyes concerned. I gave him a radiant smile. "Not anymore." I said. He hugged me to him and kissed my lips softly, but he pulled away when the doors clinged open and we stepped off.
He led me to our room and unlocked it, stepping inside. The room was extravagant; it had a king sized bed with black satin sheets and the walls were a creamy white with rose wallpapering. There was a small kitchen off to the side wall and a walk-in closet. I could see a jacuzzi around the corner of a wall and two French doors that opened onto a balcony with a small table with two chairs. "Wow..." I breathed as Edward shut and locked the door behind us and then hugged me from behind as i looked around. "This is..amazing.." I said, turning around in his embrace. He lowered his head down with a crooked smile and our lips connected. I could already tell this was going to be a good honeymoon, and we hadn't even been here five whole minutes.
