Once I got inside of the house, all I could think was, Wow. It's really nice here.
I could feel that my eyes had widened to take in everything in the room. The living room, to be exact. Ha! Living room it is...I took in the wide, floor length windows, and the floor was hardwood for the most part. What really caught my eye though, was the grnad piano in the corner of the room. I felt like squealing much like Alice when I saw it. It was a beautiful varnished black, with polished ivory keys. They called to my fingers to play them.
I almost took a step forward before Edward said, "I see you're admiring my baby, huh?" It earned him a smack in the back of the head from Alice. I heard some grumbling come from both after Edward gave a short exclamation of "Ow!" before I turned my attention from them to the keys again.
This time, I did take a step forward and ran my fingers along the keys in a downward motion on the scale. A smile tugged on my lips as I closed my eyes as the sweet notes went from soprano to bass. I heard Edward speak again. "Do you know how to play?"
I turned to him because he had appeared by my side. "I don't know. This is the first piano I've seen since I was changed, but it makes me feel like I'm missing something though... something that's not there, but should be. You know?" He shook his head. But I had a feeling he did, like he knew exactly what I was talking about.
I turned my attention to the rest of the room, taking in the large windows, the plush carpets and stunning furnature. "You guys have a really beautiful home."
Esme smiled, as did Alice. "Esme decorated the whole house, and so far, you've only seen the living room! C'mon!" She grabbed my arm and began pulling me to the stairs. I looked around at the magnificent painting adorning the walls as she tugged me up the steps to the second floor. I could hear chuckling coming from doownstairs. I was not amused.
"This is my and Edward's room! Its got one of the best views in the whole house," she said, pointing into a modern feeling room. It was spacious, but not too much to take away from the room. There was a queen sized bed sitting in the middle, red and gold sheets over it. The carpet was soft undertoe, and it was a lovely gold shade.
"Are all the rooms like this one?"
"Nope!" Alice said in an upbeat tone. "Just ours." She then pointed to another room down the hall. "Carlisle's office and his and Esme's room are down there. Im going to respect their privacy and not show you there. Except maybe the office, because it doubles as a library." Wow, I thought. The room right next to the library. Lucky.
When we walked into the room though, I was too stunned to do anything. I stared at all the books (most of which I couldn't possibly think I could read because they were in a foreign language) that adorned the shelves. I heard something behind me and turned around quickly to see who it was.
"Hi, Bella. I see you've 'found' the library." Jasper smiled at me from underneath his bangs, which hung precariously over his golden eyes. I almost sighed, but I caught myself.
"Yes, I've 'found' the library," I retorted with my fingers doing the air quotes around the word found.
Alice than popped up, towing Rosalie in by her arm. They both smiled. "Come on Bella! Let me show you your room for while you're here!" Rosalie said, pretty much leaking as much excitement as Alice. Scratch that. Almost as much excitement. Jasper and Edward seemed to agree with me. Emmett just laughed.
I didn't even notice when they all came up. Rosalie and Emmett began taking the stairs up to the third floor, which I reluctantly followed. Alice was right behind me. Probably thinks I'll need help decorating or something. I saw Edward nod when I turned around to see if Alice was still behind me. I hadn't hear her squeal in a while. Emmett pointed to a door on the right, which was the farthest from the staircase. "That would be your room, Bella. It's like, an en suite, or something. Alice?" Emmett said, unsure.
"Yeah, pretty much," she said with a wicked smile on her lips. My eyes widened. Shit. She knows somthing I don't. I know it. Evil little pixie. She probably saw this coming. Edward laughed.
"She did." I just shook my head and headed down. My jaw fell though when I took in the room that would soon be mine. Mine. That has a nice ring to it.
