here... :DDDDD

Chapter 25

"How out of town do you live?" I asked Edward after we got into his car after school.

"Not too bad. Just a little secluded, that's all."

"Really? Because I don't even see civilization coming our way."

"So I live in a really secluded area. Jeez."

I rolled my eyes. "Of course you do." I smiled.

We stayed in the car for about another twenty minutes before he pulled up onto his driveway. Did I mention is was large?

All different types of green trees surrounded his house with pleasure masking around the white exterior. There were windows where I could see parts of the interior and let me tell you know, it wasn't small.

"Would you stop gawking and come inside?" He chuckled.

"You...live here?" I asked, dazed.

"Yes. Why?"

I turned to him and grimaced. "It's like a freaking house a queen would live in!"

"But here is where you have it wrong sweetheart. The queen may live in a house, but we, live in a home." He grinned, grabbing my hand and taking me into his home.

He unlocked the door and opened it and I tagged alongside of him.

The living room was magnificent. Open and light where expensive pictures hung and fancy old fashion couches sat mysteriously. There was a grand piano off to the side and beside it, was a path that led to the bright kitchen. Tall lamps added character to the room and the diamond chandelier that hung over the mahogany coffee table, shone like a million stars.

"It's beautiful." I whispered.

"Thanks." He murmured back.

I followed him up the wooded spiral stairs that led to two floors but we skipped the second and traveled on to the third.

"Up here is my room, my washroom, my study room and other various things that are mine." He explained.

"You have your own floor?" I asked.

"Don't worry Bella, it's a small floor."

"I bet it's bigger than my house!" I disagreed, laughing.

"Look, do you wanna see my room or not?" He smiled.

"Yes I want to see your room."

I wrapped my arms around his waste and followed him, my feet right behind his down the narrow hallway, to the end where there was a white closed door with a gold, which I'm pretty sure was solid gold, handle.

I went to go and touch it but I heard a loud "No" escape from Edward's mouth.

"What?" I asked.

"You can't touch it."

"Are you shitting me? So you can come into my room whenever you please and paint the walls every single colour you want but I can touch your flipping door knob?"

He chuckled. "You can, just be gentle."

I turned to look at him in disbelief. "Oh my g-d. My boyfriend is a pretty boy." I stared, wide eyed.

"Would you stop it." He laughed and leaned over to turn the gold handle gently, letting it open by itself.

The door opened slowly reveling the inside of his room as we walked in carefully. I stepped in front of him letting my eyes search on their own. The carpet was a creamy beige rather than being wood like I expected and there was a whole side of his room with shelves that had various types of music and different artists and at the other end of his room, and I mean way over on the other end of his room, there was a king sized bed, of course, with golden, probably Egyptian cotton sheets and a black wooded headboard. The rest of his room was bare.

"It's...kind of simple." I stated.

"Yeah I know. I didn't want anything to charismatic." He chuckled. "Just simple."

"Well I like it." I beamed, turning around to meet his face.

"I'm glad. So are you going to have dinner here?"

"Umm...sure. Let me just call my dad, okay?"

He nodded but leaned in and gave me a small kiss on the lips then pulled away and winked. "The phone is downstairs. I'll wait here."

My jaw dropped. "Well that's not fair! I don't want to go downstairs now!"

He leaned in and smiled. "Go call your dad. I'll still be here when you're done." He said, his breath skimming over my face.

I nodded my dazzled head and left the room and went downstairs to go find the phone.

I walked into the kitchen and found it hanging on the wall and dialed my dads number. He picked up on the third ring. "Hello?"

"Hey dad, I was wondering if I could have dinner at Edward's house with his parents?"

"Sure, just be home at a decent time."

"Okay. I love you."

"Love you."

I hung up and skipped back upstairs to Edward's room.

He was on his bed, sitting with his back against the headboard and his hand behind his head.

I ran over with soft speed to his bed and jumped on it feeling the springs bounce underneath me.

I climbed in-between his legs, cross legged and faced him. "Hi!" I smiled.

"So what did he say?"

"He said I could stay. What are we having?" I asked.

"I'm not sure. When my mother, Esme, comes home she'll make something."

"What time do your parents usually get home?"

"Around seven."

"And it is..."

"Four twenty."

"So we have like...two and a half hours without creepy guard dads walking in on us or high class parents being appalled?" I confirmed.

"Something like that..." He smirked.

We both leaned in at the same time when there way a knock on the door and Edward pulled away and hissed.

"What?" I asked.

The door creaked open and at first I didn't see anything but then, toward the bottom half of the door, there was a tiny girl, about five years old with long blond hair and bright crystal blue eyes looking all innocent and such.

"Hey Bethy..." Edward edged.

"Hi Ed, who's this?" She asked.

"This is Bella. Don't you remember me talking about her?"

"Oh! You're Bella."

Great, so he talks about me to little children. G-d knows what he says.

"And you are...?" I smiled at her.

"I'm Edward's cousin, Elizabeth but you can call me Beth."

"She's just been with us for the past two weeks while her parents go to Hawaii." He then leaned in my ear and whispered something. "I completely forgot she was here." He huffed.

"That's okay." I mumbled back. "So Beth, how old are you?"

"I know I look like I'm five years old, but I'm eight. I just have growing issues." She frowned.

"That's okay. I'm sure you and my friend Alice could be great friends." I smiled. "You know what? I could give her a call and she could come over right now and take you shopping?" I offered.

"Really? I'd like to do that!" She jumped and Edward cringed with the force met the door knob.

"It's not gunna fall off Edward." I rolled my eyes.

He grimaced at me.

"Edward, pass me your cell." I smiled.

He handed it to me and I called Alice and she picked up on the first ring, like always. "Hey Ali, could you come to Edward's and take his cousin out for me for a bit?"

"Why..."

"You know why."

"Okay. What's the Address?"

I handed Edward the phone and he talked to her in a quiet tone while I sat down.

"She's on her way. Beth, go get dressed for her, would you and then come show us what you have on." He told her.

She hopped away with a grin on her face and if she was anything like Alice, she'd be away for a while.

I turned back towards Edward and smiled. "She's a cute girl."

"Yeah, I guess." He teased.

"Now come here?" I laughed pulling his lips to mine while we had the time.

Until the cousin comes back in.

Until Alice arrives.

And until dinner comes along too.

Kill me.

Sorry, it's not really a conventional chapter but the next one'll be REALLY goooooodddddddddddddddd
