Previously: After texting my dad, a grabbed my bag and headed to the bathroom to get ready for bed. I took a shower and got dressed in a tank and some shorts. Once I was done brushing my hair and teeth, I went and got into bed. It seems like just as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.
Chapter 3:
Steve's P.O.V (Monday May 23rd 8AM)
'Thank God for the next five days we are on leave and we get to do what we please.' I thought to myself as we docked at the Naval Base in Rota, Spain.
"Lieutenant Commander, we are ready for formation on the bridge." One of the Crew told me through the door.
"Thank you I will be there in a minute." I told them as I finished gathering my things. After I was done I left my private quarters and made my way to the bridge. "Captain Chandler." I said saluting.
"Lieutenant Commander."
"What are your plans for your week off Captain?" I asked.
"I might take a trip or just stay on base I haven't decided yet. What about you?" The Captain asked.
"Myself, Lieutenant's Rollins, Anderson, Flint, Mace, Lieutenant Junior's Jackson, Sharp, Lance, Storm, and Garrison were thinking about going to Paris for a few days, but I'm not sure if we are still doing that or not." I told him.
"Either way be sure to let me know your plans that way I know where and how to get a hold of you all if we have to leave earlier than expected." The Captain said.
"Of course Sir."
"Attention on Deck!" The Captain yelled causing all of us to come to Attention. "At Ease. We have five days of leave while we are docked here in Spain. I don't want any trouble out of any of you. If any of you are going to leave base either I or the Commander need to be told where you are going that way, we can get in touch with you if needed. I want you all to have fun, because we will be back at Sea for the next eight months or so. Attention! Fall out! Battalion Dismissed!" The Captain said.
"I'll see you in a few days Captain." I told him saluting.
"You as well Lieutenant Commander." He said saluting back.
I began walking to the barracks that way I could find Marc (Anderson) and Catherine (Rollins) so that I could find out the plan for the next few days. I hadn't made it more than a few yards before I heard my name being called. I turned around to see where it was coming from finally I saw Catherine waving.
"Steve! Come on we have to go!" She said pulling me once I walked over to her.
"And where is it that we are going?" I asked her.
"Paris where else?"
"Where are the others?"
"They are already waiting for us at the entrance of the base."
"Cath come on I wanted to change." I told her.
"No time, our plane is leaving in about forty-five minutes and it will take us at least thirty minutes to get to the airport. So again no time we have to hustle ." She said still dragging me.
"Fine. How long is this flight going to be any way?" I asked her.
"About four hours. We should be getting there around lunch time. I was thinking that we could have lunch at one of the restaurants near the Mandarin Oriental." She explained.
"And how long is the drive from the airport to this Hotel?"
"A little more than half an hour."
"Where are we staying?"
"Umm I haven't figured that out yet." She said sheepishly.
"Cath!"
"What I was so excited that I kinda forgot about it, but well figure something out." She said confidently.
"We better." I muttered, then asked. "Did anyone tell the Captain where we were going?"
"Got it all covered." Marc(Anderson) said.
Bella's P.O.V (Monday May 23rd 7 AM)
I was woken up by a phone ringing. I tried to find it by feeling but I couldn't, huffing I looked up and found the offensive thing that had woken me up.
"Hello?" I said groggily.
"Good mairneng Miss, zis eez yur wak up call." A chipper voice on the line said, causing me to groan.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"Eet eez a lit-tell aftair 7 AM Miss. Would you lik mé to 'avé breakfast sent up?" The voice asked.
"Yes please, also if you don't mind could you put a itinereary together for us?"
"Zat 'as already been takén car of by Miss. Cullén, eet weehl be wiv yur breakfast. Eez zere anytheng else zat you need?"
"Is the place we are scheduled for lunch fancy?"

"Again yur friénd 'as already takén care of zat. What you weehl need weehl be sent up wiv yur bréakfast." She said.
"Of course it has." I said laughing a little. "Have you called my roommate yet?" I asked.
"Not yét Miss, we wénted to call you first since you are lé un zat réquested zere be a wak up call."
"Don't worry about calling her, Ill wake her up. I wouldn't want you to get yelled at."
"Thank you Miss, ai appreciaté eet. Call down if zere eez anytheng else zat you need."
"I will. How long until breakfast will be here?"
"Ai just notified ze kitchen, zo abut fifteen minutés air zo. Eet weehl be délivaired to le dineng ruhm of yur zoote."
"Alright, thanks." I said then hung up, I laid in bed for a few more minutes then got up and headed down to Leah's room.
"L it's time to get up." I said jumping up and down on her bed.
"Go away." She said groaning.
"Come on get up breakfast is on its way up as well as a few more things so let's go. Get your ass out of bed."
"But I don't wanna." She whined.
"I don't care get your ass moving!" I shouted and jumped a final time.
"Fine."
"Yay! I won."
"This time." She groaned.
Just as we got to the dining room the elevator dinged, and in came three bell boys. Two of them were pushing carts that had food and drinks on them, and the other one was pulling a hanging clothes rack that was quite full. 'Of course you would go all out Alice.' I thought to myself.
"Ok I get the food and drinks but what's with the clothes rack?" Leah asked.
"It's a present from Alice." I told her and she groaned but I could tell that she was excited.
The ones that had the carts with the food and drinks, arraigned all of the food and drinks on the table then left.
"Ai was instructéd to téll you zat all of la cluthes to ze right of ze dividair at Miss Bélla's and lé ones to la left are Miss Leah's. Haire eez yur itinairary fair todai." He said showing us what he meant, then he handed me the itinerary and left.
"Alice?" Leah asked and I just nodded.
"Let's look the itinerary over as we eat, shall we?" I asked and Leah just nodded. Once we sat down at the table I took a closer look at the itinerary.

~With Love Alice.
"I wonder what she is going on about?" Leah asked.
"I don't know but you never know with Alice it's best to just do what she says." I told her and began eating, just as I finished the elevator dinged and out walked two very hot men with big bag like things with them.
"We are here for your massages." The one with dark hair that almost looked black said.
"You're not French." Leah stated.
"That I am not." He said smirking. "My name is Nathan, and this is Luke we moved here from the US a little over a year ago. Why don't the both of you go put on your bathrobes and meet us in the living room."
"Sure thing." Leah said smiling, she then looked at me and mouthed 'Oh My God!' I mouthed back 'I know right.' I made my way upstairs to my room, stripped and put on my bathrobe then made my way back down stairs. I went into the living room and saw that they already had their things set up and that Leah was there waiting for me.
"Alrighty then Miss Bella you're with me and Miss Leah you're with my brother Luke." Nathan said. I walked over to where he was and just stood there because I didn't know what to do. "The both of us are going to leave the room so that you can take your robes off and get under the sheets that are on the table. We want you to lay on your stomachs and relax. We will be back soon." Nathan said as he showed us what sheet he was talking about then he and his brother walked out of the room. Leah and I did as we were instructed and we turned our heads so that we could look at one another.
"This is going to be my first massage." She told me.
"Mine to." I replied after that we stayed quiet, I had started drifting when I heard Nathan and Luke re-enter the room.
"Just relax and enjoy." Nathan said, after he had begun massaging my back I didn't have a care in the world as to the time, before I knew it I heard Nathan saying that time was up and that they were done, they left the room to allow us to get up from the tables.
"That was amazing." Leah sighed as she got off the table and put her robe back on.
"I know right I want them every time." I told her laughing, as I tied my robe shut.
"We'll all you have to do is request us." Nathan said coming back into the room, I hadn't heard him do it made me jump. "Now I know you two have a tight schedule so you better run off and do what you need to do." He said as he began packing his things up. I walked back to my room and when I entered I realized that there was a rack of clothes in the middle of my room that wasn't there before.
'Hmm, someone must have brought it up while we were getting out massages.' I thought to myself. I walked over to the rack and began looking through them and a four outfits caught my attention. The first one was a white dress that would be about mid-thigh on me it had a tan band just below the chest that tied into a bow in the front. There was a tan purse that went with it as well as tan high heels that were about six inches or so, they had strap like bands going all the way down the front and the toes were open. There was a blue cardigan type thing that I could wear over it. It had a pair of peach colored flower earrings, a necklace and bracelet, then a pair of sunglasses. Then next outfit was a white tank top, with boot cut pants, there was a brown belt that I would wear around my waist, a leopard print scarf, a brown sweater that would reach my thighs and was open in the front, a brown purse, brown high heels about six inches and were pep-toes, there was also earrings, a ring, and bracelet. The third outfit was a beigeish pink shirt, a pair of ripped skinny jeans, dangling earrings, a beige purse, and a pair of 6 inch beige heels that had lace and bows. The last outfit had a beigeish pink tank that crossed in the back, a grey off the shoulders long sleeved sweater, a pair of light pink skinny jeans, a beigeish pink scarf, light pink boots, sun glasses, and a plaid, grey, and white purse, I noticed that there was a piece of paper pinned to the shirt. I decided to look over the outfits again before reading the note.
Bella,
I know how you can have a hard time with new clothes so I thought I would have them attach a note to an outfit I thought you might like for during the day then one if you decided to go out at night. Wear this outfit because it suits the new you but also because I think it's cute. Now stop thinking and get ready!
~Alice
I smiled and shook my head then made my way to the bathroom so that I could get ready for the day. When I was done with my shower I decided to just let my hair air dry that way it would be naturally wavy. For my make-up I decided to do a combination between a blacked-out Smokey eye and a feline-eyed flick. After I was done I had to say that I loved it, I then went into my room and got dressed in outfit number four. Once I was done I made my way downstairs and saw that Leah was sitting on the couch ready to go. She had on a pair of blue jean skinny jeans, a white tank top that crossed in the back, a pair of grey high top sneakers, a grey purse, some bracelets, a pair of grey cop sun glasses on the top of her head, and a grey zip up hoodie slung over her arm. Her hair was down and naturally curly like mine and she had done a classic style with her eyeliner and a Smokey eye with a variation of grey's.
"Well don't you look hot." I said as I came to stand by her.
"Same to you and I thought you couldn't walk in a straight line let alone heels?" She asked.
"Yeah well I'm feeling confident that I can do it today, and if I do make it through today without falling on my face I am going to wear heels more often. Let's get going before we miss the tour." I told her then made my way towards the elevator. After going to the lobby and asking for directions to the Museum, we headed that way, the tour lasted just as long as Alice had said it would and before we knew it we were heading towards Sur Mesure for lunch. We walked down the sidewalk for about ten minutes and talked about the tour, I started realizing where we were and knew that we just had another block or so before we arrived back at the Hotel.
"Did you see the…" I started to say before I ran into something and started to fall. I braced myself for impact only to feel strong arms wrap around me. 'Well it's not something I ran into but a someone.' I thought to myself.
"So much for not falling on your ass." Leah said laughing a little, this caused me to turn my head and glare at her.
"I'm sorry about that, I was trying to help my friends look for something and not paying attention to where I was going." A deep masculine voice said from above my head. I looked up to see a set of piercing blue eyes looking down at me. This man had brown hair, I could tell that he was really tall maybe 6'2" or taller, and just by feeling his arms around me I could tell that he was muscular like the La Push boys but still slim at the same time. I couldn't really describe all of his looks because my brain was starting to fizz out on me. (Steve McGarrett is Alex O'Loughlin), but I had a couple words to describe him SMOKING HOT!
"No worries if you hadn't of run into me I may have just run into someone or something else and fallen on my ass." I said smiling shyly. I heard Leah clear her throat, that made me realize just how close he and I were, and it made me blush. "I think I'm fine now." I told him smiling.
"That you are." He said.
"Dude let her go." Someone said chuckling behind this man.
"Oh right, sorry about that." He said and I could see that he was blushing a little himself. "Hi I'm Steve McGarrett." He said offering his hand.
"Bella, Bella Swan." I said shaking his hand and smiling. We stood there holding each other's hand for a few minutes till someone cleared their throat again. I looked to see who it was and saw that Leah was just standing there smiling and shaking her head back and forth. I took a look closer at Steve and saw that he was wearing blue fatigues as well as all of the people around him.
"Navy?" I asked.
"Navy Seal at your service Ma'am." Steve said then mock bowed.
"Well I never thought I would meet a Navy man let alone a Navy Seal." I said smiling wide.
"The honor is all mine." He said.
"Come on McGarrett stop flirting we're hungry remember? We were trying to find that restaurant Rollins was talking about." I heard someone behind Steve say.
"Yeah, yeah I know. Sorry but if he doesn't eat soon his stomach may start to eat him." Steve said winking at me.
"No it won't, it's just been hours since I ate something." The Flint guy said.
"Maybe I can help what restaurant were you all looking for?" I asked.
"The name is Sur Mesure."
"Well what a coincidence we are headed there now."
"Is that right?"
"Sure is. Now do you all want to follow us?" I asked.
"Lead the way."
I walked half a block then waited for all of them to catch up. After they were all there I entered the Hotel and made my way to the Restaurant.
"Well that explains why we couldn't find it, but why don't they tell you that it is inside the Hotel?" One of the woman asked.
"Cath, it's fine let's just go in and eat." One of the men told her, causing her to smile.
"You know you have to have a reservation right?" Leah asked them causing the smile to drop off the woman Cath's face.
"No need to worry, let's see if we can figure something out." I told them, then walked into the restaurant.
"Bonjour, bienvenue à Sur Mesure. Comment puis-je t'aider ?" The maître d' asked.
"Parlez-vous anglais?" I asked her in French.
"Oui, ai speak English, 'ow mai ai 'elp you?" She asked.
"I have a reservation under Bella Swan, but there something else that I need your help with." I told her.
"Ah oui, haire ai 'ave zat zere eez a resairvashé-on undair yur name fair twelvé eez zat cairrect?"
I stood there dumb founded for a second before I realized that this was all Alice's doing. As I looked at the people that I had just met I could see that they were counting how many of us there were and when each one of them counted twelve they would look at me astonished. I saw Leah mouth 'Alice' to me and I responded with a nod. "Yes that's correct." I told her.
"Good, good. What was eez zat you needéd mon 'elp wiv?"
"Never mind I figured it out." I told her.
"Good, well if you all weehl fullow me ai weehl tak you to yur tabuhl." She said as she grabbed menus then turned and started walking away. She led us to what looked like a private room that was very spacious. As we all entered I saw that the others were paired of in two's of male-female. To me it looked like their group already had couples in it that left Steve and one other man the odd men out.
"Well I guess that leaves the four of us." Leah said. "I'll take muscle man here and you get Steve." She told me then sat down.
I looked over at Steve and saw that he was looking at me. "Well are we going to sit?" I asked.
"Yes, but a gentleman pulls the chair out then waits for the lady to sit before he does." Steve said smiling.
"Bless my beating heart. Leah did you know that gentlemen still exist?" I asked.
"No I didn't but it seems this group is full of them." She said laughing.
I followed Steve to the last two empty chairs, he pulled my chair out for me, pushed me in, then took a seat himself.
"Mon namé eez Michelle if you need anytheng just lét me know, haire aré yur menus. Yur waitrez eez Angélina and she weehl be wiv you shairtly." Michelle said as she passed the menus out then left the room shutting the door behind her. Everyone picked their menus up and looked at them, I saw everyone's face besides mine and Leah's to go slightly pale.
"Well I think we will just be getting something to drink here. Once we find a hotel we will eat there." The woman Cath said.
"Why?" I asked her.
"Have you seen these prices? Oh my name is Catherine by the way."
"No, I don't look at them I just order what I want and don't worry about it. Nice to meet you." I told her.
"How can you do that? I'm Alex." One of the men asked.
"This whole trip was a gift to Leah and I, that includes meals, and anything else that we may want or need." I told him.
"But how can the person who set this trip up for you know every single want and need that the both of you have, speaking of how did they know you would need a reservation for twelve toady? My first name is Oliver, but Steve calls me by my last name." Oliver asked.
"She just has a knack for knowing things that most people wouldn't." I told him.
"Just because she has a knack for it doesn't mean that she expects us to let her pay for our food. I'm Jesse by the way." Jesse said. I heard the door open and close.
"That's exactly what I expect you to do." I heard Alice say.
"Alice! What are you doing here?" I asked jumping up from my seat and running over to her.
"I was having a little bit of a problem so I thought it might be best if I came here in person rather than calling." She said.
"Ah I see. Is the other problem that we had taken care of?"
"Yep on a plane headed for home as we speak."
"Well now that I see you face to face. What the hell do you think you're doing paying for all this!"
"Relax Bells, you need this and I know how you are so just sit back down and be quiet. I didn't come here for you to try and talk me out of anything I have planned. Now where was I? Oh yes, my little problem there are a few of you that I don't know here, and that is bugging me. If I learn what your names are then things will be clearer. Now I know who Steve McGarrett, Marc Anderson, Jesse Mace, Christina Rollins, John Garrison, and of course Bella and Leah are, but the rest of you I can't get a really good read on. So please introduce yourselves."
"I'm Alex."
"Jeremy."
"Taylor."
"Kristen."
"Oliver."
"Now everything is clearer. Jackson, Lance, Sharp, Storm, and Flint." Alice said.
"What? How?" Were the many responses.
"See I told you. Now Alice how are you able to have a knack for me right now?" I asked her.
"No clue it just started working after you helped resolve my problem. Crazy right? Now there are somethings that I need to say and I know that there might be some objections just know that what I say always ends up happening just ask Bella. Firstly, your meal for today is on me get whatever you want and don't worry about it. As for your guy's dilemma on where you will be staying well let's just say that six hours from now that will be resolved. After eating you guys will either end up going out and having fun or going somewhere else and having fun. In the next day or two things will happen that some might think are fast and others may think is meant to be know that everything happens for a reason and that everything has been taken care of. I will leave you all with this last little tidbit, for those of you who are not in the known will be when the time is right. Now Bella I love you, everything is taken care of. There are a few more surprises awaiting you and I for one am excited. Have a good time and you know how to contact me if needed." Alice said then hugged me and left. There were a few minutes of silence then the door opened again and who I assumed was our waitress Angelina walked in.
"Ai see zat Miss Cullén was hairé, zo ai guéz zat you all 'ave thengs set-télld and aré ready to airdair drinks." She said. We all nodded then went around the table and ordered our drinks. "Ai weehl bé bak momontari-lee to tak yur food airdair." She said then walked out of the room. The next few minutes were filled with silence and the sound of pages being turned, when the waitress returned I looked around and saw that most of us were ready to order. After ordering things settled into a comfortable silence but that was broken by Marc asking Leah a question after that everyone started to talk to each other including Steve and I. As we talked it felt like him and I had known each other forever and we just melded, before I knew it our food had arrived as well as our drinks. As lunch passed everyone just kept getting to know one another and I just knew that if each of us stayed in contact with one another we would be a tight knit group even if we grew in size. Lunch had ended and the afternoon wore on and we just sat in the restaurant and talked.
"Hey who wants to find a bar or something?" Alex asked.
"There is a bar in the Hotel where we are staying." I told him.
"Cool, how far away is it?"
"What would you say if I told you that we were already in said Hotel and the bar is only a short walk away." I told him grinning.
"Your shitting me!"
"Nope, now who wants to go and drink? It's now five thirty so we can either go to the Bar or even head up to our suite." I told them.
"How are all of us going to fit in your room?" Steve asked.
"Well you'll just have to see won't you? So Bar or suite?" I asked.
"Suite." Was the unanimous answer.
"Alright let's go then." I said as I got up from the table, once I was standing I waited for everyone else then made my way out of the restaurant and towards the lobby I stopped by the front desk and asked what the limitations for the elevator where and she told me that we would all fit without any problems, from there I led them to our private elevator. I pushed the button calling it and of course since no one else had been up there since we had been gone it was already there. "Alright everyone in." I got in first then everyone else got in, I made sure that they couldn't see the buttons as I pushed the only other button available. "Are you all ready to be amazed?" I asked.
"What could be that amazing?" Jeremy asked, but I didn't answer as we had arrived at our floor. I got out and waited for them to follow.
"I would like to welcome you all to the Penthouse Suite. Enough room don't you think?" I said spreading me arms out to either side.
"Fuck. Holy Shit. How many rooms are there?" Were the responses.
"I know right? Those were our exact reactions when we were told. There are three rooms. The Master bedroom, which is my room is on the third floor of the penthouse, the second largest bedroom is Leah's and that is on this floor, then there is a third bedroom on the second floor there is also an extra full bathroom on that floor. Each bedroom has their own bathroom, so there are no worries about Leah and I sharing a bathroom. Each bedroom is large but the Master is the largest as I said before, followed by Leah's then the guest bedroom. There is a dining room with another full bathroom for some reason, private bar, two studies one on the third floor and one on the second floor both studies have full bathrooms, private gym which is on the second floor it has a half bathroom, a kitchen that is fully stocked, there is a living room, two terraces, balconies for each bedroom, there are two L shaped couches in the living room, two couches in the bar area, a couch in each study and the study on the third floor has a door connecting to the largest terrace, then there is even a couch in each bedroom, there is also a small library on this floor with a half bathroom, oh and I almost forgot about the full bathroom down the hall from the living room. Oh My God, I am going to kill her! She just had to make me figure it out on my own damn her! I don't even know if you all will go for it." I said describing the Penthouse then ended up rambling once I figured out what Alice had meant by Steve and his friends dilemma being solved.
"B you ok there? You went from telling them about the Penthouse to threatening someone. Want to fill us in?" Leah asked.
"L think about everything that I just said for a minute. If you do that you will come to the same conclusion that I just did, and knowing you your reaction is going to be worse than mine." I told her, and then just stood there waiting while she went over everything in her head. I saw the exact moment that she had reached the same conclusion as I had because her face started turning read.
"Holy fucking shit! I am going to kill her! Fucking cryptic Pixie bitch! How the fuck does she expect that to be a solution they don't even know us for shit!" Leah yelled.
"Breath L, breath before you scare the poor people away." I said smiling.
"Either of you want to fill us in?" Marc asked.
"Do you want to think about it or me just explain it to you?" I asked.
"Explanation please I don't feel like making my brain work right now."
"Well ok then. I just told you how much room we had here and that is just for the two of us. What conclusion do you think we came to?"
"I know, you downsizing and getting more rooms." Alex said.
"No more like the Pixie bitch was saying that you all could stay with us since we have more than enough room." Leah growled, and I cut her a look that told her to knock it off and her wolf was showing.
"Hmm." Steve hummed. "That could actually work." He said and I could tell that he was thinking. "Sounds good to me what do you guys think?" He asked the others.
"If you think it's cool we're on board." Marc told him.
"Alright then it's a plan. What do you think about sleeping arrangements?" Steve asked me.
"Let me think on it for a bit, in the meantime who knows how to make kick ass drinks?" I asked, and Oliver said he did. "Well than get to it, while I go and change into something comfortable." I told him then made my way upstairs to my room. When I entered my room I noticed that there were more things added than there were when I left. 'Alice, what did you get me now?' I asked myself. I saw a set of clothes on my bed, with a piece of paper on top of them.
Bella,
Wear these tonight, don't be mad. I'm just taking advantage of me being able to spoil you for once. I did the same to Leah, have fun ; ) There are more notes for you where needed don't go looking for them like I know you want to, you will find them when they are needed.
~Alice
After reading the note I couldn't help but shake my head, I then took a look at the outfit that was set out for me. It was a grey long sleeve shirt that had five buttons and there were a pair of pink leopard print shorts that had a silk bow tied in the front. I saw that they were from Victoria Secret. I got changed quickly, then went into my bathroom and put my hair up into a messy bun on the top of my head. After I was done I headed back down stairs. I saw Leah coming out of her bedroom. She was wearing a dark grey tank that said Victoria Secrets on it and a pair of pink leopard print pants that had a silk bow tied in the front.
"I see she got you to." I told her when I saw that she was wearing a white tee-shirt that had a light blue alarm clock on it and where all the numbers should be was the word NO, she was also wearing light blue cotton shorts that went with it. When I looked to her hair she had it in the same style as me. "Are you trying to copy me today?" I asked.
"No its just since I grew my hair back out I like the fact that I can put it in a messy bun again." She told me. I turned to look at the others and saw that they were staring.
"What?" I asked them.
"We are just wondering who you are talking about." Jesse said.
"Alice. It seems that before she came to the restaurant she came here first and added a few things to our rooms as well as taking somethings." I told them.
"Well ok then. Here are your drinks." Oliver said handing Leah and I our drinks. I sat down on one of the couches and began to think about who should sleep where, after a half an hour, two more drinks and observing those around me I had the perfect plan.
"Alright I have a plan for sleeping arrangements." I said casing all other conversations to come to a stop.
"Well let's hear it." Said Steve.
"Ok. On the couches in here, I am counting them as four separate couches because of being L shaped. On one L there will be Oliver and Jesse, on the other L there will be John and Kristen. On the two couches in the bar area will be Jeremy and Taylor. In the guest bedroom will be Catherine and Alex. Finally, in the study on the third floor will be Steve and in the study down here will be Marc." I told them.
"How did you come up with that?" Leah asked.
"You know how observant I am. I noticed during lunch everyone paired off, and then just now I noticed the way everyone interacted with one another. I figured out who were couples and who were the odd men out." I explained.
"Well damn your good and not one mistake." Alex said laughing.
"What are we going to do for dinner?" Marc asked.
"There is a fully stocked kitchen in there if you want to make yourself something, or you could call room service and order something from Camelia." I told them then went on to say. "I'm gonna call down to the desk and tell them that we need eight more blankets as well as pillows. Do you think we need more than that and does anyone want a quilt instead of a blanket?" I asked.
"Just go ahead and ask for ten blankets and quilts that way everyone can pick and choose." Steve said.
"Wait where is the phone so I can call room service?" Marc asked.
"There is one in the kitchen, and pretty much one in every other room." I told him then walked towards the kitchen that way I could use the phone in there, and find something to snack on. As I made my way in there I noticed that Steve was following me. Once I got into the kitchen I picked up the phone and pressed the front desk button.
"Good éveneng Miss Bella, what can ai do fair you?" The woman asked.
"I need ten blankets, and quilts sent up. Can you also have them send sixteen or so pillows please?" I asked.
"Oui ma'am zey weehl be brought up shairtly." She said.
"Thank you have a good evening."
"Thank you Miss, you do le same." She said, and hung up. I then started opening and closing cabinet doors trying to fin something to eat. I finally found the pantry and saw that they had my favorite crackers. Triscuit Rosemary and Olive Oil®. 'Now I just need some cheese.' I thought to myself. I went to the fridge and started looking through it I found my favorite cheese and some soda.
I turned around to look at Steve, he was leaning up against the island and staring at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing." He said smiling.
"Sure. Do you want some?"
"If your willing to share."
"There's enough for the both of us." I told him, I rummaged through some drawers until I found a knife. I then set all of the things on the counter and hoisted myself up so that I could sit on the counter. I began cutting pieces of cheese and putting them on crackers. I handed a few to Steve and kept a few for myself.
"What is it about you that makes me feel like I have known you for all of my life?" He asked me.
"I don't know but I feel the same." I told him. We stayed in the kitchen talking for what seemed like minutes but in reality was a few hours, we were interrupted by Leah.
"Hey girlie they brought up the things that you requested a while ago but I came in here to tell you that the others are heading to bed I think I am going to do the same." She said smiling.
"Wait bed? What time is it?" I asked.
"Around nine or so." She said.
"Well damn I didn't think we had been in here that long." I muttered.
"You know what they say time fly's when you're having fun." Steve said smirking.
"Oh hush you." I said slapping him lightly on the shoulder, then walking over to Leah hugged her and said. "Night L, love you."
"Love you to B, oh and don't forget to text your dad as well as the boys. They were texting me earlier asking about you. If you ask me they seem to be getting antsy with you being gone and all." She said then walked out of the kitchen.
"Do you want to go to bed or talk some more?" I asked him.
"I would like to get to know you some more." He said smiling.
"I would like that as well." I said then made my way out of the kitchen turning the lights off as I went when I reached the living room I saw that everyone was just now starting to part ways. "Night everyone." I said. "Night" They called back, Steve walked over to the table in the living room and grabbed a blanket, a quilt and the two remaining pillows. I then made my way upstairs to the third floor. I turned to make sure that Steve had followed me. "Right through that door is where you will be sleeping as I said before it connects to the large terrace so you have access to a table and chairs. Through that door is my room, would you like to get settled first then go to my balcony or would you like to go to the terrace?" I asked.
"I'll get settled, and come knock on your door when I'm ready. This way you have time to talk to whoever it is that you need to." He told me.
"Thanks."
"Anytime." He said then walked into the study and closed the door behind him. I walked into my room and closed the door behind me. I went over to my night stand and saw that I had and email, and a couple of text messages. I sat on my bed and decided to look at my email first guessing that it was from Alice.
Bella,
Yes, you were right it's me. How has your surprise been so far? As I said before there are a few more surprises in store for you and those around you. Oh and no worries about not getting the massage tonight I figured as much after seeing you earlier, but I will say this you are going to want and need them tomorrow and the day after just remember that. Lastly I just want to give you a little advice. Whatever happens tonight let it, and don't worry about it afterwards, this goes for tomorrow and the days following as well. Live like you were dying as a song that I love says. The songs Don't Stop Believin' and Any Way You Want It by Journey and some of your other music should do it for when you need it tomorrow. Ill end it here, and don't worry about emailing me back tonight, I'll hear from you tomorrow.
~Alice
I then went on to look at my texts and saw that there was one from my dad asking how things were going and telling me that he loved me. Then there were texts from Sam and Paul asking if I was ok and what I was doing. I decided to text my dad back first.
To Dad:
From Bella:
Things are going great! I am having a lot of fun. Today I had my first massage and it was amazing! I went on a tour of the Louvre Museum. On our way to lunch we met some new people they are Navy Seals and they are really good people. After talking to them it turned out that they were looking for the same restaurant that we were already heading to. I offered to show them the way and we had lunch together, we spent hours talking and getting to know one another and no dad it wasn't just one on one. It was a group there are six men and four women. Turns out they had nowhere to stay so Leah and I being who we are offered up our couches and the spare bedroom to them. No dad there is no need to worry they are no longer strangers, sufficient to say they are pretty amazing people. I am just now turning in so I will talk to you tomorrow I Love you dad.
~Love Bella
Next I started a group message to Sam and Paul.
To Sam & Paul:
From Bella:
Hey Guys,
I am doing amazing actually I went on a tour of the Louvre Museum today, had a massage, met a group of Navy Seals invited them to lunch found out that they had nowhere to stay, talked to them for hours, invited them back to Leah and I's suite for a couple of drinks then invited them to stay here with Leah and I. So I guess that means I am doing well. I love you both, and know that some of this is going to make you worry but just call my dad and ask him about the text I sent him because after I hit the send button on this and it goes through I am turning my phone off. Love you guys.
~B
After making sure the text went through I did exactly what I said I would I turned my phone off, and just as it powered down there was a knock on my door. I got up and opened the door to find Steve standing there wearing a teal tank, and some cut off sweat pants. 'Yummy!' I thought to myself and could practically feel myself drooling.
"Hey, did I interrupt?" He asked.
"Nope not at all, perfect timing actually." I said as I opened my door wider and motioned for him to come in.
"You weren't kidding when you said this was the biggest bedroom."
"Nope why do you think that the only things on this floor are my room and the study?"
"Good point." He said smiling at me then walked towards the doors that lead to the balcony. "It's a nice night out."
"Paris is really pretty at night." I said opening the doors to the balcony and walking out. I walked over to the railing and leaned up against it, I heard Steve sit down in one of the chairs.
"So what is it that your dad does?" He asked.
"He's the Chief of Police in the town I live in." I told him, and the questions went on like that, from how old I was to what type of car I drove and in return I asked him questions. During the questions I had moved from the railing to the chair next to Steve. I didn't know how late it had gotten until Steve looked down at his watch and whistled.
"Wow its late."
"Really?" I asked standing up and walking back over to the railing.
"Yeah its now eleven thirty." He said standing up and walking towards me.
"Time fly's when you're having fun." I said smirking.
"Hey you can't copy me."
"Really? What are you gonna do about it?" I asked turning to face him.
"This." He said putting one of his hands on my wait and pulling me towards him the other hand he used to cradle my head. I stood there and watched him move closer and closer not believing that he would actually kiss me, but when he did it was amazing, and defiantly the most passionate kiss I have ever had. Once we broke apart I couldn't think.
"Wow." I muttered.
"Yeah." He said hoarsely causing me to smile.
"You have my permission to do that anytime you want." I told him blushing.
"Is that right?" I just nodded shyly at his question, I then stood on my tip toes and pecked him on the lips quickly before hurrying into my room.
"And you have my permission to do that anytime you want." He said in a fake mocking tone as he followed back onto my bedroom, he made sure to close the balcony doors behind himself. He then walked to my bedroom door and opened it. "We should head to bed." All I could do was nod. "Goodnight Bella. Sweet dreams." He said then kissed me on the forehead.
"Night Steve." I told him just before he closed the study door causing him to smile. After he closed the study door, I closed my own door and slid to the floor. 'Today was amazing! But tonight was something that would only be in my dreams. I can't wait for what might come.' I thought to myself then stood up and made my way over to my bed. I got in bed and could not stop thinking about Steve, and that is how I fell asleep. With thoughts of Steve running thorough my head.
