Chapter 2
On the ride over to Alice 's house I decided to ask her about her brother Edward. "Alice, I was just wondering. I have never knew you had a bother named Edward. I know of your brother Emmett but not Edward, is he younger than us?"
"No", she answered joyously, "He's my twin! He's been attending a private school to help focus on his music but he decided he didn't want to miss out on a 'real' High school experience. Turn here. So he decided to come home and graduate at good 'ole Forks High! He just started school today, he's way smart so he's not in any of my classes!"
"Well I guess that explains everything. Sorry if I was being nosey, I was just curious." Hopefully she wouldn't mind me prying into her personal life. Man where is her house? I thought she said it wasn't too far!
"Turn right at the next road, our house is just up the driveway." I silently listen to her directions and followed the small road up to a beautiful clearing. House!? This isn't a house! It's a freaking mansion! Pulling my truck up in front of this house just seamed wrong! No way should something as ridiculous as my truck be anywhere near this beautiful mansion the Cullen's called home.
As I got out of the truck I couldn't help but stare. The house was amazing! It was three stories! It was a beautiful, white, Victorian home with a wrap around porch. One corner of the house had an amazing circular tower, just like in a fairy tail! I was half expecting to see a blonde girl stick her head out the window and throw her braided hair down so her prince could come claim her! The detail around the entire house was just amazing. Every crook and cranny had beautiful designs and amazing details even the front door had a beautifully decorated door with amazing designs etched onto the window.
"This is your house!? It's beautiful! I've never seen anything like it! I didn't even know houses like this existed in Forks!" I could help keep the shock off my face or from my voice.
"Yup! This is home! You should see the inside! There's a lot of room, but with Emmett's girlfriend practically living here, and Edward finally being home it doesn't seem as big." It sounded like she was complaining!! How could two more people take up that much more space!? It was impossible! "Well let's go inside, you can meet my family and we can start to discuss how we're going to recreate our project."
She led me to the beautiful porch and inside the amazing house. I thought the outside impressed me! That was nothing compared to the inside! As we walked in we were in a striking foyer with an amazing staircase leading to the second story. The living room was right off the foyer and it looked like I just walked into a magazine! The living room was decorated with warm colors that just invited you in. An amazing fireplace sat in the middle of one wall with a beautiful brown couch and love seat surrounding it. I immediately felt right at home, as was the intention of the rooms' decorations. Right off the living room was an amazing formal dining room with the most beautiful and not to mention expensive, chandelier I've ever seen. I followed Alice in to a gourmet kitchen with everything you could possibly want in a kitchen. Sitting at the island reading a magazine was a beautiful woman who had amazing brown hair, and sparkling green eyes. When she smiled her whole face lit up.
"Hello Dear! How was school? And who is this lovely young lady you have with you?" Alice's mother asked as once again my face filled with blood.
"School was great!" Alice replied with a little more enthusiasm than I thought the answer deserved. "This Is Bella, we have to work on a project for English. Bella this is my mom Esme."
"Hello Mrs. Cullen." I replied, "You have a wonderful home!"
"Thank you dear, and please call me Esme. Bella, would you like to stay for dinner?" Esme seemed like she actually wanted me to stay, instead of like some moms who say it just as a curtsey.
"Oh yes, please stay! Then you can meet my dad! He works late on Thursday nights otherwise he'd be here already." Alice seemed like she really wanted me to stay, and I knew Charlie was going to eat over at Billy's but I really didn't want to impose on this family that I've just met. "Come on Bella, it'll be great and then we can work on our project longer."
Alice had a point and I was really excited to work on it. "Ok", I said. "Dinner sounds great. Thanks for inviting me."
"Any friend of Alice's is always welcome in our home and always welcome to join us for dinner. Plus it gives me an excuse to make something extra special!" Esme seemed very excited about cooking and quickly started looking through cook books to find something to cook.
"You just made her day!" Alice said on our way to the dining room. "She loves to cook and when she has company she always tries to find something new to cook. Sometimes it's awesome, sometimes not so much! I love my mom's food, but she finds weird things to make sometimes!" I thought about the decoration of the house, all the fancy things. I really hope she didn't cook anything too fancy. I'm just an average girl who likes chicken and French fries!
I followed Alice's lead and sat down at the dinning room table, we pulled out our assignment sheet and the scene we were supposed to recreate. "I just love Romeo and Juliet don't you!?", Alice asked me. I started to answer her but she didn't give me the chance. "The idea of two people meeting and falling in love at first sight is just amazing! To know the person standing in front of you is your soul mate, it's just so romantic! Don't you think!?"
"Well…" I started. "Romeo and Juliet is by far my favorite Shakespeare play, I love the story line and the language is so romantic. But I find it hard to imagine that just by seeing someone; you know it's your soul mate. I feel like you have to get to know a person before deciding you want to spend the rest of your life with that person." I couldn't tell the look that had spread across Alice's face, at first she looked almost angry, maybe it was that she was just shocked.
"You don't believe in love at first sight!?" She was most definitely shocked! "You're a girl! Aren't you supposed to automatically believe in that!? I mean, I thought that was programmed into our brains or something!", she finished with a giggle. At least someone found me funny.
"I have never had it happen to me. I can't say I don't believe it, I just think you have to experience it to believe in it." I studied her face to try to see what she was thinking, and all of a sudden she had a smile from ear to ear. "What? Why are you smiling like that?"
"Oh, no reason.", she said with a smug smile. "Let get to work."
