A/N: Sorry this update took so long to get posted. I had started it a few days ago but never got a chance to finish it until today.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed the 'park' scene. It was something I had been tossing around for a bit and I am glad everyone enjoyed it.

Matalina, you should tell me the name of the park you went to because I actually researched parks in Vienna to find one that would be suitable, and it might be the same one. You never know.

More sexy times are coming, not particularly in this chapter, but it does lay the groundwork for some future fun between our favorite couple.

BPOV

Vienna is by far my favorite city we have visited, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the spectacular galleries, architecture or history, and everything to do with Edward Cullen. Our evening at the park wasn't what one would call 'perfect'. There were no roses, no beds, no fancy dinners or hours of foreplay, but it was perfect for us and I wouldn't change a thing. Of course, the two more times we did it that night back at the hostel didn't suck either. They were just as sensuous and enjoyable for both of us.

When I finally woke up the next morning, naked and entwined in Edward's arms, I didn't want to leave. I glanced at the clock and it was already ten in the morning. I figured he wouldn't complain if we spent the day in bed, so I didn't wake him. Instead I grabbed my iPod from the nightstand and scanned through my songs, only listening to the ones that reminded me of Edward. It was almost an hour later when he finally stirred from his orgasm induced coma.

"Hey sexy," he said with a sly grin that I had come to love so much.

"Hey yourself," I replied as I rolled over onto my side to look at him more carefully. His hair was absolutely everywhere, definitely authentic sex hair. His eyes were clearly very tired but his smile was as big as ever. "Sleep well?"

"Never better," he replied confidently as he kissed me sweetly and ran his hand down my neck past my collarbone and to my breast. "How did you sleep?"

"Eh, I've slept better," I said jokingly as he pinched my nipple to torment me. "What do you want to do today?" I asked nervously. I was certain I knew what his response would be, more sex. I was shocked when he actually suggested we get out of bed and the room entirely.

"We're going to the Sound Museum," he said with a smile as he started to kiss my neck and my chest.

"Well if we're going, shouldn't we go shower? You smell like sex and it's already eleven in the morning." I grinned seductively at him and he practically lunged at me, pushing me against the bed.

"You're right, let's go," he shouted as jumped off the bed and grabbed my hand, pushing me into the shower. I thought he was going to jump in with me, but instead he turned on the water and left me there. He was definitely going to pay for that later. I ran through the motions in the shower, not paying too much attention as I shaved my legs and washed my hair. I was still thinking about the night before and how our relationship had finally progressed the way I had hoped it would for the past few days. When I was finally done and changed, Edward hopped into the shower and I ran down to the lounge to send out a quick email to Angela. Of course, there was already one waiting for me from her.

Bella,

Your email was too short last time. I trust everything is okay? Who the hell is Alice? She left a voicemail on my cell phone saying she was a friend of yours. She sounded like she could use a barrel of Ritalin. Let me know.

-Ang

I wrote back a much longer response to Angela this time, of course I had a lot more to tell her specifically about the mind blowing sex Edward and I had been having recently. Although I didn't give her any intimate specifics, I actually found myself kinda proud to tell her our first time was in a park, at night, against a tree. Even recalling it now, I was getting all hot and bothered. I gave her permission to talk to Alice, but I forewarned her not to talk about Columbia because Alice was very sneaky. Now that I think about it, thanks to the cyber talents of her stalker Tyson, she might already know I'm not going to Northwestern. Shit

"What's wrong beautiful?" as Edward as he strolled up behind me, while I was deep in thought. He was clutching my purse and camera bag.

"I see you're ready to go," I said with a chuckle as I grabbed my purse from him.

"Well yeah, who wouldn't want to go spend the day learning about music with the most gorgeous girl in the world?" he asked as a crooked smile crossed his lips. I was melting into the chair and he obviously knew the effect his smile had on me. Part of me just wanted to drag him by the collar back to our bed, but he seemed excited about what we were going to be doing today, so I didn't follow my instincts. Instead, I hit send on my email to Angela and grabbed Edward's hand, completely ignoring the email I had also received from my mother. I was sure it would be one admonishing me for not calling her like she had asked. I thought about calling her today, perhaps Edward and I had dinner. Then it wouldn't be too early or late for her back in Forks.

"Let's go," I said with a smile as he dragged me from our hostel and down the street. Contrary to my initial intuition, the sound museum was awesome. They had all these awesome displays about the Vienna Philharmonic, an awesome room where you can hear what babies hear while they are in the womb, a place to make your own CD's as well as a room to experience surround sound at its best. No wonder Edward wanted to come here. The third floor appeared to be Edward's favorite though. They had sections on some of the best composers, and they had headsets to listen to information on them. This time Edward and I both grabbed a pair and walked hand in hand through the exhibition, listening to interesting facts about Mozart, Haydn, Mahler and many others. It was a lot more fascinating than I thought.

When we finally reached the top floor, Edward and I were both starving so we had dinner at the café which overlooked Vienna. It was my favorite part of the entire day. Sitting beside my loving boyfriend, looking out over St. Stephan's cathedral and the rooftops of Vienna. "What's on your mind Bella?" he said as he took a sip of his drink and squeezed my hand softly in his.

"It's just surreal. Today has been practically perfect. I woke up in your arms, we came here and basically played and learned about music for hours, and now we're enjoying dinner and looking out at this beautiful city. Can we just stop time and stay here?" I asked with a sigh. Edward looked the same way I felt, wistful. He was enjoying himself too and didn't want the day to end.

"Think positive, this is only day two in Vienna. We're here for three more days, till Monday. I'm sure we can find things to trump what we did today," he said with a laugh. "Although, I was partial to what we did last night."

"The day isn't over Edward," I said seductively as he leaned in to give me a gentle kiss.

"They apparently have a really nice zoo here; we could take a boat tour along the Danube, or go to one of the castles. They sound a little boring, but I bet we could get some good pictures," said Edward with a small smile. I loved that he wanted to plan all of these little things for us to do, but I just wanted to crawl into bed with him and run my fingers through his hair.

"How about we head back to our room after dinner and relax for a bit, maybe watch some crazy Austrian TV. We can pick up a few pamphlets from the front desk and find something we want to do tomorrow. Sound good?" I asked as I finished off my salad and took a sip of my drink. "Oh, and I need to call my mother when we get back. I have a feeling I'm in for a screaming match and I want to get it over with."

"Why do you think your mom is upset at you?" he asked as the waiter came and handed him our bill. He offered up his black AMEX card with a nervous smile and turned back to me, awaiting my answer.

"She's been emailing me recently and keeps asking me to call her as soon as I can, which I haven't done yet. Angela ran into her a few days ago and was pretty angry at her for not mentioning anything about you. I think this might have everything to do with you," I said sadly as he looked at me with a remorseful frown.

"You're not gonna go home early are you? Like if you parents are really mad, will you go home?" Edward's face was so heartbreaking at this point, I thought I might actually cry. I took his hand in mine and tried my best to reassure him.

"They can't make me go home. I'm paying for this trip with my own money and I'm an adult in the eyes of the law. If anything they are probably just disappointed in me, but it wouldn't be the first time," I said with a heavy sigh. After everything was done and paid for, Edward and I walked back towards our hostel and we stopped in the lobby as I stared at the payphone apprehensively. "No time like the present," I said as I pulled a calling card out of my purse and called my mom. As we were waiting, Edward offered to leave me alone to go up to our room, but I refused to let him leave my side. Instead he wrapped his arms around me tightly and listened to our conversation. I wished payphones were also speakerphones.

"Hi Mom," I said reluctantly as Edward kissed my neck in a show of support.

"Bella, why haven't you answered any of my emails? I have sent four in the past few days, with no responses."

"I've been busy mom. We travelled from Prague to Vienna one day and we haven't had a lot of time to access the computers. I haven't even checked my email in three days, so relax. I can't always email you every day," I lied, feeling very regretful the moment the words left my mouth. My mother and I had always been fairly close and shared most everything in our lives, but I didn't want to share anything about Edward with her. Perhaps because I knew when all this was said and done, he may not be in my life and I would have to listen to my mother tell me 'I told you so', when I spent all my time crying about losing him. Then again, we may we would be happy in New York City together. I don't know what will happen in August when we have to go our separate ways and I certainly didn't want to think about it now.

"I told your father about Edward and to say he is livid is probably an understatement," said my mom as she gritted her teeth. Edward, however, just laughed at the comment. A little too loudly at that. "Is that him Bella?"

"Yes mother. That was Edward. We both find it very funny that dad would have such an issue with this. All we are doing is traveling together. You would probably love him if you ever met him. He's smart, sweet and generous, he can play the piano and he's going to NYU for music… " I started to explain to her, but she didn't care.

"He could be the best person in the world Bella, but it doesn't matter. Neither your father and I think it's smart to be travelling across Europe with a strange boy." She was really starting to piss me off the further our conversation went along.

"Oh, but you think you can just give out my email address to anyone? How is Alice mom?" I asked as Edward chuckled and my mom got quiet.

"Alice is a very sweet girl, but then again, you already know that because you went to summer camp with her," said Renee, still oblivious to who Alice really was. Well, she was oblivious until now.

"Mom, Alice is Edward's younger sister. She lied to you in an attempt to get my email address because Edward wouldn't give it to her. She's clearly not the angel you think she is," I explained as both Edward and I laughed. "She's very sneaky, but has good intentions. She was worried about Edward and me, so she hunted down information on me and called you to get my email address. Please don't worry about Edward and me. We are fine. The trip is wonderful." Suddenly the phone went quiet for a few moments and I thought we might have been disconnected.

"Are you sleeping with him?" she asked tensely. I suddenly wished we had been disconnected because discussing sex with my mother was very awkward. Especially since whatever I told her would make it back to my father, who in turn would fly to Vienna and probably kill him.

"No," I lied again, mainly to protect everyone involved.

"Good, you should keep it that way. It will be better for everyone when you guys separate in a few weeks," said Renee with a sigh.

"Is that all you wanted mom? To quiz me about my relationship with Edward? We are doing fine, we're safe and we are having fun. It's really late here and I need to get to bed. We'll talk in a few days and I promise to try to respond to your emails more often, okay?" I said, trying my best to placate her.

"That's fine Bella. Make sure Edward knows not to hurt you," I just nodded my head and didn't respond to her. "I love you mom," I said as I hung up from her, feeling slightly relieved to be off the phone with her.

"How about we go upstairs and have some of that sex we're not supposed to be having?" laughed Edward as he pulled me from the common room and up towards our bedroom. "I promise I can relieve some stress," he said with a wink. I just nodded my head and let him lead the way.

The next morning when we woke up, it was raining again. I was actually pleased to see this. Bella was sleeping soundly beside me, smiling brightly. I ran my fingers through her hair and watched her sleep. It was one of the more exceptional events in my life, sitting there watching the girl I was in love with sleeping and hopefully dreaming about me. She looked so peaceful, it almost hurt a bit when she finally stirred and woke up, looking at me in shock.

"Were you watching me sleep?" she asked anxiously as she rolled onto her back and stared up at my face.

"Maybe," I said with a sly grin. "You look so beautiful and peaceful it's hard not to watch you. It's raining out." Bella sat up slowly from the bed and propped herself on her elbows, the blankets from our bed sliding down to her waist, revealing her naked breasts to me. I was tempted to kiss them but she seemed deep in thought.

"I need to go do some shopping today," she said matter of factly.

"Do you want me to come with you?" I asked sounding hopeful. I hated shopping; in fact the last thing I had purchased at a store was condoms, which I would clearly need more of soon. Even when she went shopping in Amsterdam, I had disappeared and smoked up. I don't know why I was offering to go with her, probably because I didn't want her to go anywhere without me.

"Why don't you stay back and relax. Email or call Alice, maybe even talk to your parents?" she suggested sweetly as she stood from our bed and walked to the bathroom completely naked.

"Are you sure?" I asked as I followed behind her, watching her sexy ass as she turned on the shower and hopped in.

"Yeah. Plus, we've been inseparable for weeks. We should take a break for a few hours. Plus, you won't want to go shopping with me for what I need." Of course now that she was being vague, my interest was piqued. I just nodded my head and went to leave the bathroom so she could enjoy her shower. "You're not going to join me?" she asked sweetly as she then opened shower curtain before I could leave. I just nodded my head and slipped into the shower with her. Sadly, it was nothing remotely sexual, we just saved water and had a shower together, although I was hard almost the entire time, watching the water fall over her luscious body. I shouldn't have agreed to the shower because I desperately needed some sort of release and Bella was already done before I could even consider propositioning her. She turned off the water and toweled herself off, leaving me in a completely aroused stated.

It was less than an hour later that I watched Bella hail a cab in the front of our hostel, in the rain. She had a small umbrella that she had brought with her and insisted she would be fine, so I did my best to relax after I kissed her goodbye. I sat down at the only open computer and checked for emails from Alice.

Edward,

Mom and Dad say hi. Seriously, they said hi. Can you believe that? They are off to Vancouver at the end of the week for some conference Dad has to attend, so we are planning yet another party for the servants to clean up on Friday night.

How are things with you and Bella? I promise I have been a good sister and I have not called her mother again. Where are you now? Jasper wants to know if you will be coming home early. He wants to move into NYC a few weeks early, but says he can't do it without you. Emmett wants to know if you'll be bringing Bella around when you get home.

I want to know if you can buy me some purses at Louis Vuitton in Paris. I'll send you a detailed list when I know you are almost in Paris. You are going to Paris right?

Anyways, say hi to Bella for me. You better be behaving yourself and treating her good.

I smiled at her email, because every word sounded just like Alice and I really missed her. I wrote back a quick email about how I was now in Vienna and I even told her that I admitted to Bella that I was in love with her, and that she had said it back to me. I was certain the next email back from Alice would involve some sort of response about how we were moving too fast, but I didn't care. I didn't tell her about the park or any of the other sex we have been having, but I told her Vienna was awesome. I even went into great detail about the Sound Museum, because I knew she would be happy about this because of my love of music. I told her to tell Jasper and Emmett to leave me alone and that I wouldn't be home early and that Bella definitely wouldn't be with me, not at that point anyways. I was leaving it open though because I really wanted her to meet my friends.

By the time I had finished the email, it had only been twenty minutes since Bella had left on her shopping trip. I hopped onto the Eurorail website to check out where our tickets could take us from Austria. After a little bit of research, I determined that I was going to insist to Bella that we head off to Hungary next and stop in Budapest for a few days and then take the train for what looked like at least a one night trip down to Athens. I really wanted to go to Greece, and I doubted Bella would complain at all. Unfortunately, as I looked into it more I discovered it was a twenty eight hour trip by train and our passes didn't work in some of the eastern European countries. So I did something I knew might piss Bella off, but I didn't care. I booked us a flight out of Budapest and into Athens for a week from today. It was a direct flight, it wouldn't take as much time and we could enjoy Greece more. I wanted to spend at least a week there, so I even took it upon myself to book us a hostel there and in Budapest for two days. Maybe Bella would find it romantic and generous that I booked everything for us. The more I thought about it, the more I doubted it. Then again, I didn't think she would like the fact that I really wanted to charter a boat for a day and go sailing and swimming in the Aegean, but we'll have to see. Perhaps that one will be a surprise.

Before I even realized it, it was almost two in the afternoon and I had already been on the computer for almost two hours. I ran out quickly to grab some lunch and headed back to our room to relax and await Bella's return. When she got back, it was almost dinner time and I was waking up from the nap I took on the couch while watching some annoying German reality show, because I had been very bored without her. As I rubbed my eyes, I watched as she placed several bags into our closet and shut it quickly, apparently not wanting me to see what she bought.

"Was it a good day?" I asked curiously as my eyes darted to the closet.

"Yeah. I spent more than I wanted to, but because you keep insisting on paying for almost everything, I could afford what I bought," she said with a sly grin.

"So, what did you buy?" I inquired as she came and sat beside me on the couch, offering up a sweet kiss.

"I got us dinner," she said as she motioned towards our table where a few take out containers sat. Bella knew that wasn't what I was interested in, but I decided she would have to go to the bathroom at some point and I would snoop, just like a kid on Christmas morning.

"I did some planning today while you were gone," I said with a smile as I opened up my container to find some chicken fingers and French fries, which looked and smelled delicious. I watched as Bella's eyes brightened. "I figured you keep mentioning that you want me to take a more active part in where we go, so I did. We're going to Budapest next. Then we're flying to Athens in a week."

I looked over and Bella and her smile was gone. "That sounds good, but we don't need to fly anywhere."

"Yes we do babe, the train would take too long, there was too many transfers and our passes didn't work in all the countries on the way to Greece. I promise you the flights were cheap." I was really hoping I had placated her somewhat, but Bella didn't say anything. Instead she sat beside me at our small table and ate her dinner, as I continued to stare nervously at our closet.

"Can't you at least tell me where you shopped? You don't have to show me anything, I just want to know the stores." I pleaded with her after we had finished dinner and were cuddling on the couch, listening to music on the small radio in our room.

"I went to some mall just on the outside of town. Everyone spoke German and it was a little daunting, but I managed to get what I needed. I got some stuff at H&M, Mexx and Zara. Then I went to a few specialty stores a few blocks from here and picked up a few other things." She was answering my question, but she was also being cryptic. "You'll see everything in time."

When she finally stepped into the bathroom to get ready for bed, I slipped quietly into the closet to check out the bags she had. There were bags from all the stores she mentioned as well as two others. One was in German and I had no idea what it said, and the other was 'Agent Provocateur'. I think I blushed three different shades of red, because I knew that was a high end lingerie store. She had bought lingerie, for herself. Which meant only one thing. She bought lingerie for me to see.
