Chapter 8
Hotel Rooms
I woke up to the sound of Alice closing the car door. I awoke and realized that we were at the Plaza Hotel in New York. This was the most expensive hotel around. I got out and realized that I hadn't packed any clothes. "Um Alice?" I asked. "What's up Ness?" she replied. "It's just…I don't have any clothes or toiletries." I said. "Ness, it doesn't matter! We're going shopping remember!!!!" she giggled. I laughed a little as we pulled out of the hotel parking lot. "What are we doing? I thought we had to check in?" I asked. "I already did that, you were sleeping." She replied. We began driving down the highway and listening to the radio. Eventually we arrived at huge mall. I had been to smaller ones in Port Angeles, but never one this big. My mouth fell open to the sight of the big glass building. It was so beautiful. I could see all the people walking around, in and out of stores. "You haven't been to a mall like this before, have you?" she asked. I shook my head, still in awe of the place. We got out of the car when I realized, I didn't have any money! "Hey uh, Alice?" I asked. "What is it Nessie?" "I don't have any money…should I just stay in the car?" I asked. She looked at me as If I asked her if I should cut my let off. "Are you crazy?! You are a Cullen Ness; you have part owner ship to the family money." She said. I laughed and nodded as we headed for the huge store. When I got in I was flabbergasted at how big it was on the inside. There were hundreds of stores and everyone was running around shopping for that perfect something. We walked towards the first store; I could tell it was a designer store because of all the brand names on the sign. There were names such as Dolce and Gabbana, Chanel, Gucci, Lois Vuitton, and many others. When we entered the store we were automatically greeted by an annoying clerk who wanted to sell us everything we put our hands on. Alice jus simply told her that we were just browsing and we would call her if we needed her. I walked over to a rack of sunglasses that had letters on them, obviously to show the brand name. I found a really cool pair of black sunglasses with the two c's overlapping each other. This was obviously Chanel. I tried them on and they looked really good on me. Alice was at my side suddenly and looked at me beaming. She had a scarf on that was black with sequins on it with the two letters DG on it. Obviously dolce and Gabbana. "What cha think?!" she asked excitedly. I smiled at her. "It looks absolutely beautiful on you!" I said. "What do you think of these?" I pointed to the glasses. "They are awesome! You have to get them!" she answered. We continued to walk around the store. I ended up with two pairs of earrings, a shirt, some jeans, and sunglasses. We paid for our merchandise and walked out of the store. We continued through the store, browsing at random things. Then we walked into a store that had bathing suits. I picked out a black one with white polka dots. Alice got a navy blue suit with black swirls on it. We bought the bikinis and walked out of the store. We ended up shopping at a lot more stores and when we were finally finished, my feet were killing me! We walked out of the mall and it was already midnight. We got in the car and headed back to the hotel to rest my feet. We cranked the music and started singing again. When we got back to the hotel we carried out many bags into the lobby where a man was waiting to take them from us. He said that he would have them up in our room immediately. He got on an elevator and then we got on the next one. When we got into our room I was amazed. It was a huge suite with two enormous beds. The bathroom was absolutely huge. It had two showers and a hot tub. We set our bags down on the large counter in the other room. She unpacked the bathing suits and through mine to me. I went into the bathroom and put it on; Alice had hers on when I came out. We put on some flip-flops and headed down to the pool. The pool was absolutely amazing. It was huge and it was really warm. We jumped in and splashed around for a little bit. Then we got out and went into the hot tub. I sat there and stared off into space. I was thinking about Antoine again. I was wondering what he was doing, where he was, and if he was thinking of me. "Your thinking about him aren't you Ness?" Alice asked, bringing me back to reality. I looked down and nodded. She laughed and shook her head. "What?" I finally asked. She giggled some more. "It's just that you really remind me of your father when he met Bella." She said. "What was my father like?" I asked. "Oh wow, well see, I told him that I had seen her in a vision of mine and that he was going to fall in love with her. He got very angry with me and said that he would avoid her at all costs. I knew he wouldn't be able to, after all…it was meant to be. So when he finally met Bella and actually talked to her, he became obsessed. I could tell right away that he was in love with her. He would spend hours at the piano writing this piece of music. I knew it was official when one day I snuck into his room and saw that the sheet music was on his couch. The name of the music was 'Bella's Lullaby'. He played it constantly, memorizing it and perfecting it. When he finally brought her to our house to meet us, I could tell by the way he looked at her that she was his Juliet, and he was her Romeo. He would leave our house every night and wouldn't return until morning. I knew he was always at Bella's, watching her sleep or staying up talking to her. They became inseparable and it was the most romantic thing ever. Charlie never fully liked Edward, especially after Italy. But, she and Edward were in love, and there was nothing Charlie could do about it." She stopped talking. It had already been an hour since we had come to the pool and I was falling asleep. "Come on Ness, let's go back to the room, you could use some sleep." Alice said. I nodded and got out of the water and walked over to the cashmere towel rack. I dried off and wrapped the towel around me. We walked back up to the room and unlocked the door and went in. I pulled out the new satin pajamas I bought today and went into the bathroom. I undressed and got into the shower and washed the chlorine out of my hair. When I was finished I got out and put on the pajamas and brushed my teeth. I walked out of the bathroom and Alice had already had my bed turned down and ready for me to crawl into. I thanked her and crawled in and got snug and warm. Alice turned on the T.V. and ordered us a movie called "The sixth sense". I've heard of this movie but I haven't seen it yet. I fell asleep an hour in and I had a dream. I dreamt that I was running through the woods with Antoine and we were taking pictures. Suddenly my father came out of the forest and attacked Antoine and killed him. I woke up gasping for air. I sat up in bed and clutched my chest. Alice wasn't in the hotel room that I could see. I got up and walked around. Then on the bathroom mirror was a note addressed to me.
Nessie,
I went down to the pool for a little swim. I know how tired you are so I decided I would let you sleep in. If you are reading this because I am not back yet, you can come down to the pool anytime you'd like, otherwise I should be back in about an hour.
Love
Alice
I put down the note on the counter and went and got my suit. I put it on and walked down to the pool. There was Alice sitting in the hot tub smiling at me. "Oh Nessie, I'm so sorry I should have called the room, we have to go now, your parents aren't too happy that you've been gone over night." She was getting out of the hot tub and wrapping a towel around herself. We walked back up to the room and we got dressed. My hair was all messed up from the pool water. Alice helped me do my hair by straightening it. Now I had no curls and my hair was straight and silky. We got dressed in our designer clothes and we were on our way. The doorman took our bags and loaded them in the back of the Porsche for us. We began our journey home. We took pictures together for scrap books and things. Then we turned on the radio on. I couldn't help but notice that when we turned the radio to scan that the songs that would play would say, "Cause you're everywhere to me and when I close my eyes it's you I see! Because it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why, I can't take my eyes off of you. Can't get cha out of my head. I'll be your crying shoulder!" It was so weird and it made me feel awkward. I later fell asleep listening to a soft song that I could tell was my mother's lullaby playing on a CD. I woke up to Alice poking me; we were pulling into the driveway of our house. It was around 12:00 now and it was a really cloudy day. I grabbed my portion of the bags and thanked Alice for taking me on the trip to New York. "It was really fun Nessie, we should do it again sometime." Alice said dancing her way to the house. When I got in there I saw that Carlisle and Esme were in the living room waiting for us. Esme looked at me sweetly. "Renesmee, dear, did you have fun?" she asked eagerly. "I had loads of fun! I can't believe how beautiful New York is." I answered. "I think I better get home and let my parents know I'm back, thanks again Alice." I said. I smiled and walked out the door and ran to my house. My parents were inside watching a movie and talking. "Hey! I'm home guys!" I shouted out. They rushed up to hug me. My father scooped me up in his arms and gave me a big hug. My mother did the same. "Did you have fun sweetie?" my father asked. I nodded. "I'm going to go unpack my stuff and put it away." I said. They nodded and allowed me to go without further questioning. I walked into my room and sat down to put away my things. After I had finished organizing everything, I decided I was going to take a walk, and go hunting. I walked out of my room. "Mom, dad, I'm going to go hunting. I'll be back in a few hours." I shouted. "Okay Hun." They answered back.
