Chapter 2
Isabella Cullen watched the waves crash at the bottom of the cliff. Such grandiosity always left her in a delighted mood. She was remembering the changes her life had the last couple of months.
Firstly, Edward Cullen, her best friend through college and eternal crush, finally had the guts to tell her how he feeled. Then, their wirlwind romance. Everyday was better than the last one.
Of course, then they faced the oposition of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Esme Cullen. The woman was so used to control whatever move Edward made, that when he introduced her as his fiancé, she passed out. Esme was hell bent on marrying Edward to one of her friend's daughter, Lauren Mallory. Like Edward would want such a spoiled brat.
Oh, and how the had to fight for their romance. Esme cut him financially with the hope that Edward would drop Bella to get back his money. What she didn´t know was that Bella had money of her own, the rest of her parents life insurance; and better yet, she received the letter of a lawyer, stating that Bella inherited Twilight cliff, the house from a distant aunt.
It took them two days to organize their leaving, even when they didn't finish college. Edward proposed and they were married in another three days; and they left Chicago behind.
Then, they arrived to Seattle to meet with Mr. Clapp, her aunt's lawyer.
"It's a beautiful house, near the little town of Forks, located at the top of the cliff. Your great-grandfather was a captain and his love to the sea made him built the house the closest to the sea. It's been on your family for almost a hundred years." Said Mr. Clapp. "Unfortunately, you are one of the last descendants. your aunt left you the house, and to your cousin, the only family you have still alive, she left the rest of her belongings."
Bella thought she was the only Swan alive, she'd like to find this cousin, maybe he felt alone.
"I don't want to alarm you, but there were stories about the house. You know, a little town, the house stood alone for many years before your aunt returned to live in there... When you get to Forks, the people will tell you stories, but let me asure you, non of them are true. The only disappearance I know for sure, was your aunt's tenant, Michael Newton. And I believe he disappeared because he never paid the rent. I want you to believe me, there's nothing wrong with house, your aunt never had a complain."
Bella's memories ended abruptly because Edward was back with the paint for their bedroom. The only room they had arrenged 'til now.
"Come here love, give me a hand." Edward yelled, carrying in his arms two cans and a bouquet of wildflowers, he was such a romantic.
While they were unloading the other cans, hammers and other tools; Edward told Bella the latest information he got in town.
"Remember Leah, the girl at the store? Well, she asked me if I had heard any strange noise at night, she couldn't believe me when I said no. She said that people in town believe that the tenant, Michael whatever, left after the night the ghost of your grandfather the captain came to make a visit."
Bella laughed, what is wrong with this town? Evey time they went down for anything, someone asked about the noises, she thought while puting the flowers in water. The only noises you could hear at night, where the ones she and Edward made with their love making. Ahh, just last night...
"Bella baby, why are you blushing?" Edward said, while coming behind her. He knew that blush, is the one he loved the most, the one she had when she was aroused.
He kissed her neck and told her "Come baby, lets give Forks some noises to talk about."
Taking her hand, he led her to their room, and she followed him gigling through the stairs. When he opened the door, she tackled him to the bed in a passionate kiss... Which broke the bed and both fell to floor. Laughing, Edward took her hand and helped her to get up. And with a crashing sound the floor opened and the bed fell to the floor below.
In that moment Bella was scared, one second more in getting up and she would have fall. Edward was no better, he never thought the floor was in such a deplorable state. He could have loss Bella.
"Baby, let me make you a cup of tea." Edward offered to a very shaken Bella.
"Edward, promise we will sleep in the couch."
"Of course love, anything you want."
