Chapter 1

FLASH. FLASH. FLASH.

I looked at my recently taken pictures from my Nikon. They were all taken with a perfect angle and had a fantastic shade with a beautiful view. One of the pictures was of a beautiful, grown Willow tree located on a tall hill, with the Eiffel tower behind it. Behind the Eiffel tower, lay a stunning sunset shinning in every direction. I've always been fantastic at taking pictures and felt really proud of that fabulous ability. My dream has always been to travel all around the world, in search of mesmerizing, eye catching views and objects to take pictures of.

A gust of wind refreshed me, making my wavy hair dance just as my pink floral dress did. What time is it? I wondered, looking down at my white ''XOXO'' watch to see it pointing to eight o'clock. I sighed, knowing that this was all for today. I wanted to stay up all night, so I could get to watch the beautiful sunset. I wanted to keep breathing the magnificent scent of the summer flowers lying in the floor. But, I had to rest. I would wake up early in route of finding another gorgeous place to take pictures of. I placed my hair over my shoulder; as I always did, and packed all of my photography equipment. Time to go, I thought.

I walked down to my red Beetle, took out my car keys and pressed the unlock button, and opened carefully the door, aware that my equipment could get injured. I placed them carefully on the passenger seat and went to sit in the driver's side and drove away to my hotel.

L'Eiffel Paradise Resort was just in front of me. It was a five stars hotel that sure enough was really fancy. Some of the hotel's workers helped me carry my entire luggage, taking them to the lobby while I made my reservations on the Reception's desk. I walked to the glass concierge, and was greeted in French by the receptionist, Alexandre.

"Bonsoir, how may I help you, Madame?" Alexandre, his name tag said, asked politely with his French accent. He was a small guy with a little mustache and a bald head. He looked tired, because of the bags under his eyes.

"I made a reservation, by the name of Ianna Campbell." I replied.

He nodded right away and handed me my room key. "Oui. It's the room 422, floor five. We hope you enjoy your stay, and if there is anything else you need, dial 111 on your hotel phone. Your luggage will arrive to your room in no time."

"Merci." I said. I waved him a goodbye, and started walking towards my room. I followed his directions, 5th floor by the elevator. Beside me, a couple stood with a baby girl. The woman, whom I supposed was the child's mother, held the baby in her arms. I smiled at how cute the baby looked. When the elevator finally arrived to the fifth floor, I got out of it and searched for my room. The hallways were decorated with red fancy wallpaper, and in every corner, a small glass table with flower arrangements decorated the place. I turned to my left, and saw a room with the number 422 carved in a glass square. I was about to knock, until I remembered this was my room and I had the key, so I did the honors by sliding the key in the keyhole and opened the door.

I was really impressed. My room was just so beautiful. The red wallpaper surrounding it, and the white carpet, which covered the whole floor, made it look elegant and classy. Candelabrums were hanging from the ceiling. Above my king side bed with beige sheets, some rose petals and towel decorations of two swans together forming the shape of a heart lied. This is a Honeymoon suite? I thought to myself. The room had a large balcony, with a beautiful view. My mouth was hanging open, amazed by such a room. I spotted my hotel phone in an identical glass table, just as the ones in the hallways.

I heard a knock on my door. I walked over to open it. My luggage had just arrived. I thanked the bellboy, and gave him his tip. He seemed pleased by the amount of money I had given. He smiled and dismissed himself.
