Chapter 28:
Hamilton Island Beach Resort
We passed by Gloria Jeans and quickly bought 2 coffees; the place smelled so amazing I decided to buy one. I was addicted after the first sip.
"Come on" Jake said, guiding me to the rental lot.
He went up to an Avis desk which was currently worked by a young blonde.
"Hello, we have a reservation" Jake said.
"Umm . . . name please?" she stuttered.
"Jacob Eupherium" he said blinked in surprise
"Ah! Yes, we got your reservation via internet. You ordered a Holden Astra Convertible for . . . payment on return due to time, okay. So, you'll pay later. Can I see some ID?" she asked.
"Here" he said as he took out his license and showed it to her.
"Okay. Here are the keys to your Holden Astra convertible. 4th row down" she said sweetly.
He nodded and grabbed the keys, walking off swiftly. We stopped in front of a beautiful, sleek, blue convertible. Jake quickly put our luggage in the back and hopped in the front.
"Ready?" he asked and I nodded, breathing in deeply.
I loved the 'new car' smell. He turned on the engine and sped out of the airport quickly. It swerved through the cars, rushing through the bright city. Jazz music was blasting and it seemed everyone was partying.
"Is it like this every night?" I asked.
"No" Jake said with a laugh. "It's the Darling Harbor Jazz & Blues Festival. It's held every year at the end of May" he said.
"That's interesting" I said as a huge yawn overtook me.
"Sleep, I'll drive" he ordered but I shook my head, taking a large gulp of coffee, determined to stay awake.
We drove near the ocean, watching the festival lights fade away slowly. I fell asleep, even after all my attempts, around 3:30am. I began dreaming about kangaroos taking over Australia. Kangaroo Jack was the captain, holding an armadillo as ammo . . .
"Ness? Ness, wake up honey" I vaguely heard Jake say, shaking me.
I mumbled something in response but turned over, curling up. I had no more disturbances from then on. My kangaroo dream got morphed. Jake was talking to an Australian kangaroo about a room. The kangaroo gave him a card and told him to go to the outback.
I felt a slight swaying motion and slowly fell into a deeper sleep. I dreamt about mom and Dad. Mom was probably sick with worry and dad . . . well dad would probably be frustrated and furious towards Jake. I dreamt about the rest of the family too.
I was flashing back to time when I was younger that we would all try to do something together, like when we tried a picnic in a meadow. I remembered I was eating a sandwich when Emmett tossed a rock through the trees and just our luck, he hit a beehive. Jake and I had to run out so fast; we had no need for about a million bee stings. We did get stung once anyway . . .
My dream was suddenly replaced with a bright emptiness. I groaned softly, stretching my legs.
"Ness?" I heard a voice say sleepily
I opened my eyes slowly to find myself curled up in Jake's chest. I was still wearing the clothes I had worn on the whole plane ride including my necklace, which I could feel around my neck. Jake had obviously taken my shoes off and probably placed them somewhere else in the room. Jake's arms were around me, encircling me in a warm cocoon.
"Jake?" I asked sleepily as I stretched out my arms, curling and uncurling my fingers.
"Who else would it be Ness?" he asked in my ear before kissing down my neck and making me giggle.
"What—" A huge yawn suddenly overtook me "—happened?" I asked as I turned towards him.
He was of course, sleeping like he always did. Boxers and no shirt, though sometimes he did wear one. His completely muscled chest was flawless and perfect as always.
"Well" he said as he played with my hand. "It about a 4 and a half hour drive from Sydney to Cairns. You fell asleep when we were just near Port Macquarie. We got here at about 4am. I tried to wake you but you just rolled over so I carried you though the whole hotel and up to our room" Jake said and I turned red. "You were mumbling something about kangaroo's taking over Australia. The clerks found it very funny" Jake explained, playing with my hand.
"Ugh! I already made a fool f myself" I said as I buried my head in his shoulder while he laughed. "Where is here by the way.?" I asked.
"Cairns" he explained confused.
"No, here like, this building" I justified
"Oh, the Hamilton Island Beach Resort" he explained. "Take a look at the view" he suggested.
I curiously got out of bed and headed for the window that occupied the whole back wall.
"It's incredible!" I said in awe.
In front of me was this seemingly endless pool that seemed to stretch out into the magnificent ocean. The sun was striking the waves at such an angle that they glittered and shimmered.
"Wow" I said. "That's . . . beautiful, incredible!"
I turned back to Jake, finally really looking at our room. It had beautiful wooden flooring which matched every other wood item in the room. After the door, there was a closet to the left and another door, probably leading to the bathroom, on the right.
Then there was a big dresser with small items on top. The bed was big, with a wooden base and headboard. The covers were all . . . 'islandy' and the pillows were big and fluffy. Next to the bed were the 2 small nightstand on either side.
We had a small table which led up to a big and comfy looking sofa. There was a TV/ DVD/Game system already set up. Under the TV was the fridge and the microwave. There was also a coffeemaker, and ice bowl, coffee, popcorn, tea, snacks and sugar.
"Ah" I said, falling backwards into the bed.
"Do you like it?" Jake said, crawling up to where I was lying with a chuckle.
"It's just . . . so relaxing" I said as I closed my eyes in pleasure. "What time is it?" I asked after a while.
"Umm . . . about 10:45" Jake answered.
"Okay. I'll take a quick shower first and while I get ready, you'll shower" I proposed and he nodded.
I went over to my suitcase and grabbed my bag of toiletries. Then, with a small kiss, I disappeared into the enormous bathroom.
BPOV
I was seriously considering jumping out of this plane and running the rest of the way. I just couldn't sit here and wait as this plane moved painfully slow towards Sydney. It was madness!
"Edward—" I called for about the 40th time on the flight.
"Bella, calm down" he said, his deep golden eyes boring into mine. "We're about to begin descending" he said.
Just as he finished, I felt the first small drop.
"Passengers! We shall be landing in Sydney shortly so if you could all please return to your designated seats and buckle up" the perky assistant called.
"Bella, relax" Edward urged as he rubbed soothing circles on my back.
Since we were in the wide, first-class seats, we had pulled up the armrest and snuggled together through the flight. A serious of small drops followed the next few minutes until I began to see the Sydney Opera House.
"Passengers! We recommend you all take a look out your window for a fabulous Aerial view of Sydney Harbor, Sydney Harbor Bridge and The Sydney Opera House" the attendee announced.
I looked out through the window, the morning still dark. It was 5:00am. The sun wasn't due to rise until about 7am. The Opera house was lit up along with the bridge. Despite the early hour, there were already cars in the streets.
We circled around slowly and finally, Sydney Airport came into view. We slowly descended towards the freeway and finally, the plane bumpily touched land. We went fast for a minute while the brakes slowly kicked in. Then, the plane began to circle around to its docking station.
"How do we find them from here?" I asked Edward, getting my bag.
"Simple, we'll track them by their phones" he said readily and I nodded as we walked off.
"Have a good day" the captain said as he tipped his hat.
"I need to go to the bathroom!" Alice and Rosalie said as they ran to the nearest one.
I followed after them, confused. The whole bathroom sink was covered with grooming utensils.
"My hair is so horrible right now!" Rosalie complained as she brushed through the tangles.
"Look at our clothes! They're all wrinkly and ugly" Alice complained as she tried to straighten hers out.
I rolled my eyes, walking out and leaving them to their duties. I went straight over to Edward who was leaning against a staircase, looking completely and utterly sexy. I smiled at him and he raised an eyebrow, pulling me close.
"Is something wrong Mrs. Cullen?" he asked and I still couldn't help but smile as I heard it.
"No Mr. Cullen" I said in a small Australian accent but failing miserably.
He laughed loudly, causing heads to turn.
"They'll be out soon . . . hopefully" I said and Edward nodded.
"As soon as they are, we'll go rent a car and find our daughter" he said determinedly in my ear.
A/N
Hey Guys! So what did you think? They are both in Australia now. The chase begins! By the way, Carins is where the Great Barrier Reed if located (just to let you know). everything will slowly start unfolding into a scene you will never gues . . . I guess (haha) that you must keep reading until the end of the story to find out. Anyways, school is almost over! Only 8 more school day and I'm done! Summer, barbeques, ECLIPSE PREMIRE! Ahh, lot's of stuff to look forward to. Oh! guess what!:! I went surfing today! It was awesome! We got feree surf lessons and the waves were up. One word describes it all ;HARD/. You have to jump up like in a push up but land on work feet. Land to farr up, the board tips over your head. Too far back, tips towards your head. Too much left or right, it wobbles and like all the others, knocks you off. I fell off my board like 20 times and must have gotten about 3 gallons of salt water up my nose. It was cool though when you were able to stand up and surf to the shore.I do have very big exams nect week and my Algebra I Honors Full Year State-wide final exam in a wekk and a few days! I have to study so my update next week might be on Sunday. I'll try to make it on Friday or Saturday but no promises.
