Chapter 6: Fantastic Finds
I headed miles away to a denser jungle. I fed on many meat eating animals and was as close to satisfied as I could come. On my way back into town I spotted Edward Cullen waiting for me. I'd planned on tracking their scent from the school to their house, but I was happy for this convenience.
"Hey," I said when I was in ear-shot. "You're just the person I was looking for!" I smiled at him genuinely.
"Well, I'm glad it was I that traveled to receive you then." He returned my smile. "Alice said it would be rude to let you find your own way, so here I am."
"Lead on." I grinned and he took off at vampire speed. I followed and passed him. We passed each other and played around until he slowed down and eventually stopped, but by that time I was so far behind him that was tracking his scent. That was the point I ran into him.
With a big "Ooff" I fell on top of him. Everything went fuzzy for a moment. I was on top of Edward and we were sharing an intense gaze with our faces inches away. When I came to my senses I said, "Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry!" I jumped up and pulled him up with me. If I were human, I'd have been blushing.
"No problem." He smiled and pulled me through the clearing to his house.
"Woah," I said, "Your house is freakin' huge!" And it was. The large three story house towered over our still attached hands. I walked into the house seeing a beautiful piano and steps leading down to a brightly lit living room. I let go of Edward's hand to look around the gigantic living room. It was a masterpiece.
"Hey!" The very loud voice of Emmett said.
"Hi." I jumped then smiled politely embarrassed to have this reaction to their house. I was a little nervous about this visit. I hoped they would like me. My eyes flickered to Edward and he smiled with reassurance. I walked and stood next to him.
"Welcome Bella," A beautiful woman with a beautiful heart shaped face said, "It's nice to finally meet you."
Once we were through with introductions, I sat on their couch. I opened my mouth to ask about Billy and Alice shushed me. "Billy will be okay, Bella. You might want to go ahead and get a head start on installing the ramps in his house. You know Bella, Jacob and you are getting kind of cozy."
If I could blush I would have turned into a tomato. "Well...I mean...I...yeah." I finally ended my speech. "We have a thing. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's something. He knows about me. I didn't tell him about your family. I don't think he'll guess about you. He isn't quite that intelligent."
"How fond you are of him." Alice winked. "Well," she continued, "we'll let Edward show you around the house."
Edward offered me his arm and I took it. We ascended up the stairs. We took a tour of the bottom two floors and then went up stairs. We walked through a short hall and he opened a door that was on his right. His room was beautiful. It was a combination of gold, white and black. A couch was situated in the corner of the room. On the wall opposite, a stereo stood and it was accompanied by a keyboard. It was apparent that he could record his music from there. He sat down in front of his keyboard and began playing and fiddling around with a song. He would get to a certain point, stop and try again and again. While all of the changes he made were beautiful, they were unfinished. With a frustrated sigh, he turned to me, "I can't here the rest of it. It's not done yet, I know it's not I just don't have the inspiration yet. Anyway, I wrote the first half when I met you. It's a lullaby."
I sat down next to him and looked up at him. He began playing again when we locked eyes and the song flowed into a sea of bright beautiful colors. The notes wrapped around us, urging me toward him until I was close enough to kiss him. Without thinking, I connected our lips and the song picked up pace. The song was one of love and it had a strong heartbeat, unlike it's player or me. While we kissed the song was completed. The song was full, resolved and it ended at the same time our kiss did. My mind came flooding back and I jumped up.
"I...I-what just happened? I can't...Jacob...Oh God." I turned and ran down their stairs and out of their house. What was I going to do?
Who expected that? Can I get a show of hands? Ha-ha. I'm kidding. Anyway, I really love this story and I hope you all feel the same way. Review!
