Back (book 2)

7. Trip

Harry's POV
Alexa's first year of school was finally over. Her internship had finally turned into a job offer from her dream magazine.. National Geographic. She had dreamt of writing and taking pictures for the magazine and finally her dream came true.
They offered her a week trip to Paris to take pictures and document. She asked me to join her and of course I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to be in the city of love with the love of my life. We had been back together for a little over a year and we couldn't have been better. This separation was what we needed and were stronger than before.
I walked into the bedroom to my beautiful girl sitting on the floor against the wall with her head between her legs freaking out. I walked over and sat down next to her.
"What's wrong baby?" I asked while I pulled her to my chest.
"I have no idea what to bring. I have no summer clothes, I can't find any of my stuff I need!" She cried.
"Baby it's okay! We will figure it out, I'll help you find your stuff and we can go shopping if you need." I said and she looked up at me.
"Really?" She asked and I wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Yes let's go out right now." I said and helped her up.

We went to the mall and she got everything she needed for the warm weather.
"Thank you Harry." She said as we got back home.
"Of course baby." I said and kissed her forehead.

She unpacked her stuff and then re packed it in her suitcase. I did the same.

We finally had everything together and left for the airport.

As we were waiting for our flight she was nervously tapping her foot and biting her nails. Two nervous habits she had.
"Baby it's okay, you have nothing to worry about. They wouldn't have offered you this opportunity if they didn't think you could do it." I said as I grabbed her hands and looked into her eyes.
"I guess you're right. This is my first real journal entry with them and it's such a big deal it's just crazy to think of." She said and shrugged her shoulders.
"Let's go get something to eat. Calm the nerves." I offered and she grabbed her purse and we walked to a sit down restaurant. I wrapped my arm around her waist as we walked.

We ordered some appetizers and drinks. I decided to hold my alcohol until tonight.
"So what do you have planned this week?" I asked her.
"Well they want me to go into the city and take pictures and notes on Monday through Wednesday and then Thursday and Friday they want me to go out into the countryside and get some shots out there." She said as she took a bite of a chip.
"That's fantastic baby." I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"You'll come with me and help me everyday right?" She asked me.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world!" I said back.

After we were done we went back to the gate. The plane started to board. I surprised her with first class tickets and she just rolled her eyes not surprised.
We settled down and she pulled out her phone and texted her mom a quick I love you and told her we were on our way. She had talked to her mom everyday and I loved how she had such a close relationship with her mother considering her father situation.
The flight attendant finally came. She was a petite women looked like she was in her early thirties.
"Oh hello, what would you like?" She flirted as she leaned over to set napkins on our trays, exposing her cleavage close to my face. I was disgusted and shifted uncomfortably in my seat.
"Nothing for me." Alexa said and I agreed with her.
"What the fuck was that?" She said a little too loud. The women heard her and quickly turned around.
"Is there a problem here?" She smirked.
I looked over at Alexa who's face was angry and frustrated.
"Yes there is actually." She said and turned her body towards her.
"What would that be?" The women smirked at her. She was a bitch and I couldn't help but hope Alexa would tell her off.
"You're shoving your boobs and flirting with my boyfriend while I'm right here!" She shouted.
"Ma'am you need to keep your voice down you're disturbing others." She threw back at Alexa.
"I will do whatever I please until you keep your boobs in your shirt and take a hint that you need to fuck off!" I chuckled slightly at her defensive and harsh tone.
"Not my fault he's sexy as fuck. Considering having him take me in the bathroom right now." She laughed at Alexa.
"That's it, shut the fuck up. You're not even half as pretty as her. I will never ever do that so if you wouldn't mind leaving us alone so we can enjoy our flight without a whore trying to get in my pants while my girlfriend should be." I said back to her and her face turned white and she quickly left.
"Baby." I said to her as I looked at her. She was still fuming.
"I hate how everywhere we go there's always someone all over you!" She huffed.
"Baby, now you know how I feel. Guys are checking you out left and right. If I didn't give them death stares or giving you affection they would be doing the same thing. You did the right thing, thank you." I said as I tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"I just hate it." She said.
I kissed her gently then whispered,
"I love you and only you." Into her ear.

After a long 9 hours and the bitch arse flight attendant keeping her distance we made it to Paris.
We got off the plane and grabbed our bags. We walked outside to catch a bus to the rental car place.
We stood on the side walk waiting. I turned to her and wrapped my arms around her waist and she rested her small ones on my chest.
"Welcome to the city of love." I winked at her.
She then stood on her tip toes and kissed me.
I was so excited for this opportunity with her.

We got into the bus and drove to the rental car place. There were a few young girls around the ages of 15 that kept turning around and giggling. Alexa looked at me and tried to hold in her own laughs.
When we finally stopped to get out the girls stood up and blocked our way.
"Um hi, sorry for staring but um were like huge fans like the biggest! Could we please get a picture?" The shorter one asked.
"Umm sure, let's get off first." I said while grabbing our bags and getting off Alexa followed with the girls close behind.
I set our bags on the side walk and the girls ran up to me and got positioned for a picture before I was even fully standing. Alexa giggled and one of the girls handed her her phone. She took the picture then I gave the girls hugs and they left.
"Interesting.." Alexa laughed.
"What can I say.." I flipped my hair off of my shoulder jokingly and she made a face. And I laughed.
"Let's go." She said and grabbed a bag and we went to get our car.
We went with a black Audi Q7. I packed our luggage into the trunk and we drove to our hotel.

We pulled up to the beautiful building and valet helped us get our luggage up to our room and parked our car. We made our way up to the room.
"I really love you Harry." She said as I pressed number 8 on the elevator.
"I love you so fucking much." I said and then crashed my lips against hers. My arms wrapped around her waist and gave her bum a light squeeze she laughed against my lips and tugged on the curls on the nape of my neck which caused a moan to leave my lips.

We were interrupted by the ding of the elevator indicating we were on our floor. I picked her up bridal style and carried her to our room. I unlocked the door and pushed it open with my foot. Our stuff was on the floor so I stepped over the bags and walked through the huge suite and found the bed room and set her on the bed.
"Harry." She said as I sucked on the sensitive spot on her neck.
"Shh baby." I told her as I placed both of my hands on either side of her head and sucked down her neck.
"Harry, not right now." She said and pushed me off her. I felt kind of hurt, I didn't know what had gotten into her.
"What's wrong?" I asked her as she stood up.
"I just don't feel like it okay.." She said to me as she walked into the bathroom. I had no idea what was wrong but I was going to find out.
"Baby, you can tell me what's going on, you know that." I said as I leaned against the opened door as she brushed her hair in the mirror.
"Harry, I'm on my period. Okay?" She said as she say down on the edge of the bathtub.
"Okay? Why couldn't you just tell me that. I'm not going to be mad, I understand." I said as I sat on the closed toilet across from her and grabbed her hands in mine.
"Lex, you don't need to be embarrassed with me you can tell me anything and everything no matter what. I love you and I only want to be here for you." I said and she rested her forehead against mine.
"I love you Harry, I'm sorry for not talking to you about things. I guess I'm just embarrassed and I feel like you'd be mad if I couldn't have sex with you." She said and I cupped her cheeks with my hands.
"Baby, of course I want to have sex with you but if you aren't feeling up to it our something gets in the way I won't force you and I understand. I love you and everything about you and that doesn't mean all I want is to have sex with you. We can go out tonight and spend time without having sex. How about that?" I asked and she smiled down at her lap and then those brown eyes that made my knees weak looked up and locked with mine.
"I would love that." She said and I kissed her.
