I don't own anything, Stephanie Meyer does...but i wish i did.
What I've done
I face myself
To cross-out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
Ugh. Who would call at this ungodly hour.
Unknown Number
"Hello?" I can hear the sleep still caught in my throat. I mean its only 8 'o clock.
"Isabella Swan?" No shit Sherlock.
"Yes?" Waiting here.
"I'm calling about the house on 783 Maple Drive. This is Thomas Greene the man that showed you the house. I got your fax and you have the all clear you can buy the house. I would like it if today you and your brother could come by and sign the papers and the baby's all yours." OHH-EM-GEE! Only a week ago we went to see a beautiful house. Of course I saw it and wanted it. I needed it. Emmett, my brother, saw it and agreed we need it bad. So we called up for a showing and I wasn't disappointed.
"Okay, Mr. Greene. When would you like us to be there?" Crap, if you want me to ill make it in 20 minutes.
"Ms. Swan, I would like if your can come here at 11:00 to sign then you get the keys and your done." Wow, that's it?
"Of course, I'll see you there. Thank you."
"Bye."
"YES! WE GOT THE HOUSE!" My mom came running into my room at this. Isn't this sad. I'm 23 Emmett's 23 too and we live with our parents, still.
"You got the house!?" Mom, or Renee, was hopping and bouncing for joy.
"We got it, we need to be there by 11:00 to get it signed and the keys." I couldn't stop grinning like a mad woman. "I need to get Emmett up." And with that I walked out of my room only to go to the next door to my brothers. I walked in and as usual he was still sleeping. I went over and jumped on him he only stirred from that. I could take it. I sat on him and started to slap him repeatedly until he got up with a fright and saw me. Then he just got mad and threw me off the bed. I landed with a thump on the floor.
"What do you want Squirt? I was kind of sleeping before the rude awakening!" He snapped. Sometimes I seriously wonder if he has PMS.
"We got the house!" And I yelled this all from the floor. All the sudden he came to me and pinned me down and said , "What?!"
I just replied with a simple, "We. Got. The. House." As if I was talking to a 3 year old. Which basically I was, well at least the mentality of a 3 year old. He started screaming YES over and over then got off me, finally.
"When do we sign for it?" Ah, he recovered his common sense finally.
"Today, at 11. So get ready then eat because after were going to go sing get the keys then go shopping for furniture and stuff to be sent in a few days when we move." After that I just walked out to go shower and everything, I needed to be comfortable yet presentable today. I got out of the shower smelling like strawberries, my favorite. L.A is either hot or warm so I need to dress accordingly. I decided on light wash jean Bermuda shorts and a blue 3 quarter sleeve shirt from Abercrombie and Fitch. I just dried my hair and let it stay in my natural waves. While I did some light makeup I thought 'shoes, shoes, shoes. What shoes am I going to where?' then I just decided that today ill where my Notebook Nike Dunks. I looked in the full size mirror happy. I looked good today. But overall I feel like something's going to happen. But something good. Well just wait and see what happens.
"BELLA! FOOD!" Obviously im not the only one that's happy. I think our parents wanna get rid of us. Or they are genuinely happy. I hope it's the latter.
After eating some food that was surprisingly edible. Renee was never that good of a cook. My father Charlie came in with 4 huge Starbucks in his hands. I squealed and ran to get my Carmel mocha latte.
Everyone just chuckled at me while I just pouted for being the but of their joke.
I looked at the time surprised to see it was 10:00. I told Emmett to get moving and then we went outside to out many vehicles. My yellow Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster, and a midnight blue Yamaha motorcycle. But the biggest one there is Emmett's jeep. It's wheels alone read my waist. And then there's the parental cars but it only a Mercedes and a BMW. So we got into his Jeep because we are going to need to the space for shopping for house things after we sign. Thank god I fixed his car. I love mechanics. And because of me his car goes about 45 miles faster than the regular factory car. We, as in my whole intermediate family, love speed. On the ride there I started thinking when I got the show of the houseā¦
Flashback
"Lets go see the house Em!" I got out the car and went to go shake hands with the Realtor Thomas Greene.
"Hello, you must be Isabella, I'm Thomas. Are you ready to see the house.?" By now Em was next to me and we just nodded. Then Greene just said to look around wherever we want and if we have questions we ask. Me and Emmett stayed together and did a round-a-bout of the place.
We didn't even need words we just stayed silent.
The house outside is beautiful in itself. With its ivory panels. Then you go inside to come to a huge living room with the kitchen basically opened up next to it up 2 stairs. Also the entry way that has a closet next to it. This consisted of one floor, one huge floor. The kitchen was all stainless steel and marble. New state of the art kitchen too, god im in heaven. And from the kitchen it has double doors that lead to outside.
Then from the living room you go up a spiral staircase that overlooks the living room below. It leads to the hallways that contain the 5 rooms and 5 bathrooms leaving one bathroom downstairs that I just remembered. I walked into each room all of them having big spaces, big bathrooms, and big walk-in closets. Yup, im in heaven. Then if you go back down it has the basement which we agreed
on making the game room for our enjoyment, duh.
I then went downstairs without looking at the rest and said.
"I want it, I want it now!"
End Flashback
"Bells?" Oh, I wonder how long Emmett's been calling me?
"Yeah, Em?" He looked so happy he might combust.
"Come on, we are here!" At that one I jumped out the car and ran to Greene who was sitting on the porch and got straight to business. 20 minutes later he was gone and we were claiming rooms.
I got the biggest room, but not because of size but because of the view. I do photography and illustrations. All professionally. Its my dream job, and I have it! I do a lot of work here in Los Angeles before we decided to look for a house and Emmett's looking for a place for the garage he wants to open up. Me and him can do wonders with cars. Take it apart, put it back together, make it faster, tougher, fix it, or make it illegal. The last part we do for a way higher price but its only for close friends no one outside that.
Now we head to Home Depot for paint. God why?!
