I couldn't pass up a chance at a half decent idea. I want to keep the chapters short & sweet this time around too.

Cullen Towers
"Are you sure you're ready to take this on?" Alice asked with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Of course I'm sure. This is the 'American Dream' isn't it?" Edward stated more than asked his sister, Alice, with a certain happy glint in his eyes.
"Yes, it is... But I'm not sure you'll make it out of this with your sanity and your hair intact." Alice told him smugly.
"Hey now!" Edwards hands lept into his disheveled copper hair. "Keep my hair out of this! What's it ever done to you, Pip-squeak?" He eyed her quizically.
"Pip? Squeak?" Her eyes flared with disdain for the cruel nickname. "Because I know you did not just call me either of those cruel names..." she huffed.
Edward quickly ignored his sister and turned back to the third person in the room, Mr. Alexander. "Okay. I'm ready to sign my life away." He smiled to the portly man with his hand out, waiting for a pen.
"Sign and date here and here, Mr. Cullen." Edward elegantly signed his name. "Thank you, Mr. Cullen. You'll hear from us by tomorrow afternoon if your offer was accepted." Mr. Alexander quickly put the paperwork away into a colored folder and stowed it away in his briefcase. He was very pleased to have worked with Mr. Cullen on the sale of the old Martingale Hotel towers. He couldn't wait to see his paycheck after the commission on this sale went through. He was most certain it would after Mr. Cullen's most generous offer of $2.6 million.
"Alrighty then." Edward said with a finality about the sale. "Alice, let's go get something to eat. Should we celebrate or should we hit the brakes early on the party?" Alice's visions came in handy sometimes, he thought to himself.
"Hmmmm..." Alice forced her focus on Edward's not so distant future and came up with a vision of a smiling Edward shaking hands with Mr. Alexander and recieving keys to the buildings. "I believe, yes, we can party." She bounced on the balls of her feet happily; she loved parties. And in all reality, couldn't wait for the Grand Opening party she'd throw for him. "You going to call everyone and tell them the news?" She asked, already going through styles and designs for the party decor.
"Nah. Let's go with the suprise effect." The Cullens rarely recieved any type of suprise. The old saying of history repeating itself makes most of them irritated; to have not much change at all throughout the decades gets quite tedious.
Edward and Alice hopped into his car and sped home-the speedometer not falling under 90 once he hit the highway.
So, how was it? Boring? Okay? Interesting? R & R is always appreciated. ;)
BTW, anyone interested in Beta'ing for me? Everyone could use a good Beta. :D
