Julia
A coupleof days later I awoke to discover a dozen purple roses in a crystal vase setting on my nightstand. Edward was shaving his face with an electrical razor within the toilet, so I shouted to him so he may hear me:
“Edward what are these flowers for? Are they from you? They’re lovely!”
A second later he popped out into the bed room, nonetheless working the razor over his face and neck whereas he talked.
“Sure I purchased them for you Julia. I’ve some information…….and I assumed the roses would possibly…….assist.”
“What do you imply? What’s the matter? Is there an issue?”
“Nicely you see……. I’ve enterprise I’ve to maintain abroad…..”
“Abroad the place? When did this occur? How lengthy will you be gone?”
“It simply got here up. I’ve gotta go to Europe; Paris, Vienna and Florence. I’ll be over there for a few weeks max.”
“And also you thought you can purchase me off with roses is that it?”
“Oh rattling! Did I overlook to place the little card with them? Oh right here it’s……right here’s the little card.”
“Little card? That doesn’t assist something! You’ll be able to shove the little card up your ass Edward!”
“How have you learnt? Why don’t you learn the little card.”
I pulled the little card out of its tiny envelope and skim it. There have been solely two magical phrases written on it in Edward’s handwriting: Be part of me?
Naturally I felt ashamed and silly for pondering the worst of him.
“Rattling you Edward!”
“Is that your manner of accepting my invitation Julia?”
I buried my face into his chest hair and sniffled my apology.
“I’m sorry for being so foolish and suspicious.”
“You don’t must apologize Julia. However I do. That was a merciless trick on my half. I didn’t imply to make you cry. I’m sorry.”
“That was imply of you. However I’ll overlook it this time! In the event you had been attempting to spring a romantic shock on me, you undoubtedly succeeded! Thanks Edward. I really like you a lot! Oh I can’t consider we’re going to Europe! When can we depart?”
“Is tomorrow morning too quickly for you? They’re readying the Armani jet proper now.”
“Oh my God! Tomorrow already? I must go searching for a number of new issues to put on first!”
“Julia honey wouldn’t you slightly simply store in Paris? They’ve obtained fairly a number of good shops there alongside the Champs-Elysées.”
“Purchasing in Paris? Are you kidding me? After all I’d slightly store in Paris! However I nonetheless want to select up a pair issues earlier than we go… You realize… So I can look stylish whereas searching for new garments in freaking PARIS!”
“No matter you want Julia. I really like seeing you this joyful!”
I used to be so excited. I had by no means been to Europe and I had actually by no means flown on a personal jet. That night time I obtained little or no sleep. I tossed and turned and imagined visiting the world-class cities that I had beforehand solely examine my entire life. My future with Edward was clearly going to broaden my horizons by opening up your complete globe to me. I felt extremely lucky. And the perfect half was that I used to be going to expertise these locations with the person I cherished. It didn’t get any higher than that.
Within the morning Edward and I boarded the Armani jet and took off for Europe. First cease Paris, France! Flying on a personal airplane was NOTHING like flying on a industrial airline. It was like day and night time! I may really stretch out my legs, sleep, and eat actual meals! And no rattling children kicking the again of my seat! The flight was about eleven hours and I slept for a great deal of it attributable to final night time’s insomnia. Our limousine whisked us from the airport to the opulent Resort Ritz Paris, within the coronary heart of the Metropolis of Gentle. But it surely was 3AM by the point we arrived so we went on to mattress. Edward stated we would have liked to acclimate to the Paris time zone if we needed to beat our jet lag.
We awoke to our magnificent view of the Seine River and the Eiffel Tower from our bed room window. Edward ordered room service for us so we loved buttery croissants with raspberry jam and espresso from our balcony. After breakfast, Edward had a little bit of enterprise to conduct over on the American Embassy so I used to be compelled to spend the day procuring (Poor me!) in all of the heavenly boutiques alongside the primary boulevards in addition to the inviting little facet alleys. We met for lunch at a scrumptious creperie tucked away in a nook of town by Notre Dame Cathedral. Edward knew all the perfect locations and his command of the French language was such a activate for me!
At night time the Eiffel Tower glittered with its spectacular hourly gentle present: 20,000 gentle bulbs flashing all through the construction with its big golden beacon shining from the highest. We had dinner reservations at a café close by so we may watch the illuminated landmark sparkle whereas we ate. Edward made me strive escargots – snails! They had been too garlicky for my style however I did benefit from the French onion soup. Each place we ate had very good meals, wine and decadent desserts.
