Here's the next chapter!

Please let me know what you think, and I have a request for you guys…

Where would you like them to go the next day? I have to finish this day first, so that's probably going to be next chapter, but maybe you would like them to go to Amsterdam, or to Madurodam, a miniature city, or you've got a great idea yourself… Let me know.

I don't own Darkest Powers, or Chlerek or Tori or any other characters… as much as I wish so, I don't.

Still Chloe's point of view.

"So, how do you like being Mrs. Souza?" Derek asked.

"I love it." I said. "Just like I love you." I smiled at him, and if he wouldn't be driving I would have kissed him.

We arrived at our little house. There was a note from the housekeeper, but it was written in Dutch. It said:

Hallo Chloe en Derek,

Gefeliciteerd met jullie bruiloft. Ik wens jullie veel geluk samen. Er ligt alvast wat eten in de koelkast, en op het tafeltje bij de bank ligt een boek met leuke restaurantjes in de buurt.

Groetjes Femke, de huishoudster.

I was looking at it, but Derek grabbed it out of my hand. I went upstairs to see where we would sleep tonight. There were only two rooms except for the overflow. One bedroom with a small bed, a closet, two nightstands and a sink with a mirror. The walls were painted light pink and white. There was a bottle of champagne with two glasses and some other things on one of the nightstands. I hadn't even taken a look at the bathroom before Derek came in. "I deciphered the code on the note: she, the housekeeper, congratulates us, and she says there's some food in the fridge and there's a book with nice restaurants."

"Since when do you speak Dutch?" I said.

"I don't, but Google Translate does. Literally it says:

Hi Chloe and Derek, congratulations on your wedding. I wish you much happiness together. There is already some food in the refrigerator, and on the table by the couch with a book of nice restaurants nearby. Greetings Femke, the housekeeper."

I went to find the book. There were some really nice restaurants near the sea. Some of them I would like to try. Derek came down the stairs also. "Maybe we can go to this one tomorrow." I pointed at a restaurant called De Meeuw. It was at the beach, and there was a lounge part and it had the colours white and grey/brown. "It looks really nice."

"So, starting to like it here?" he smiled.
"Yeah, why?"

"You didn't like the idea of Holland at first, did you?"

I was a terrible liar, so I said nothing. "It's okay, I just wanted to convince you."

"I love you." I said, and then he kissed me. "Wanna try out that bed?" he asked. And we went upstairs.

The next morning when I woke up I heard the birds sing. You never heard that in a big city. Then I noticed Derek was gone. I looked at my watch. It was half past nine. I went downstairs and smelled something, cake? Why would he bake cake at half past nine?

"Mornin'." I said.

"Hey, you're awake. I made you pancakes." He said. "Well, actually, I just warmed them, they were in the fridge. You want one with sugar?"

"Wow, it smells good. Thank you." He gave me a plate. "Hey, you have to eat too!"

"Yes, I know, but you have to feed two people." I gave him a look and he came to sit across from me. He had two pancakes on his plate. One with sugar, one with cheese and bacon.

"So, what do you want to do today?" he asked.

"I don't know, what can we do?"

"Well, we can go to a city, Amsterdam, The Hague, Den Bosch, though that's a long drive. Do you know how long it takes to drive from North Holland to South Holland?" he asked.

"I don't know, five hours?"

"Nope, only a few minutes." He said. A few minutes, Holland was a small country, but not that small. I knew that.

"You can't even fly it in a few minutes." I said smartly and I smiled.

"You don't get it?" he asked. "Look, North Holland and South Holland are two provinces of The Netherlands, and they're next to each other, so you could be there in a few minutes." He smiled.

"Okay, but how long does it take to drive from the north of The Netherlands to the south of The Netherlands?" I was kinda curious.

"About three hours." He said.

"What? Three hours?"

"Yeah, so we could go to Den Bosch, that's in the south, or we could go to Zeeland, that's also one of the twelve provinces, it's also at the sea."

"I would like to stay somewhere here." I said. "We could rent bikes."

"Sure." He kissed me on my forehead. When I finished my pancakes, I went upstairs to take a shower. The bathroom wasn't so big, but it had everything; a shower, a bath, a sink and a toilet. When I was done I looked at my cell, I had one message from Tori:

'Hi Mrs. Souza! How's your honeymoon so far? Let me know. Love.'

I answered it: 'It's soo beautiful here! Thank you for everything. Xx.'

I went downstairs, and Derek also went to take a shower. Until he was done, I decided to take a look at the backyard. It was a small yard, like everything here, but cute. There were flowers on both sides, and grass in the middle. At the back, there was a small gate, that led to a little pond with a scaffold and some boats. From the scaffold you could see the sea. The weather was surprisingly warm. I was wearing a top and a cardigan, but it was warm enough for just the top, so I took my cardigan off. I went back inside to grab some food, I was hungry all the time, when Derek came in.

"Hey, already hungry?" he said.

"Yeah, we make a great couple. We will have to go shopping first."

"We'll go shopping today, but first, we're going to the beach. The weather is beautiful!" he grabbed my hand. "Do you want to walk, or drive. I don't think we will come far by car, but we can always try, just to explore the area."

"I can walk." I said.

"Okay, let's go then. Have you got your bathing suit?"

"You want to swim?" it was warm, but not that warm…

"Yeah, why not? Just bring it, you don't have to wear it."

"Okay." I packed a bag with my bathing suit, two towels and some food. Then we started to walk to the beach.

"Okay, which way is it?" I asked. I thought we had to go to the right, but Derek pointed to the left. "But the beach is over there…" I said.

"Yeah, but you can't come there, you have to take this road." I figured he would be right, so I followed him. And he was right. We walked trough a path in the dunes, and arrived at the beach. There were pretty much people, but not like in LA, you could easily find a spot to sit here. There was an old couple walking by the water, hand in hand.

"Aw… I want to be like that when I'm old." I said.

Derek pointed at some kids making a sandcastle. "With our grandchildren." He said. I kissed him. "And my old grey wolfie by my side…"
