Hi! I'm back with another chapter. I will hopefully post this a bit faster that the other one. (the 24th) It's really weird because this A/N is kind of talking to myself before posting it. x) But, if you've got something to say then say it. :P This chapter will give you an insight of what Edward and Bella's apartment look like. I really like my view of what their apartment look like, I like styling rooms and such, so this is my chance to prove to you people that I'm good at it. ;)
Will there be any drama in this chaper? Probably not, sorry about that. Ready, set and READ!
Chapter 25. Just the same
BPOV.
Mine and Edward's apartment hadn't changed a bit! And it's been one and a half year since I was here the last time.. My poor Edward. He hadn't even touched my things. He'd left them as I had left them. My makeup was still all over the makeup table. And my clothes were still lying on our bedroom chair, barely used clothes! I would just wear them one day and then I threw them on the chair. Easy as a pankake.
The curtains were hanging the same boring way as they'd done before I.. went away. They were the same color in every room, except in mine and Edward's bedroom. The same color Edward's eyes are. A deep light green with a little hint of blue in them. I loved those curtains, even though they were hanging boringly. Our beige couch was still standing the same way, and our black flat screen tv was still hanging on the wall on the opposite wall from the couch.
The wase my mother gave me and Edward the day we moved into our apartment was still standing on the table we had under the tv, and he hadn't changed the plastic flowers in them like I usually did. "You haven't changed a thing." I said to Edward.
"Nope." He sighed.
We have one single painting in the whole apartment hanging to the left of the tv. That specific painting was a gift from Carlisle and Esme. Esme had painted it as she stood watching over the lake behind their hose in Forks. I loved that painting. Everytime Esme and Carlisle were here visiting I used to talk to Esme for hours telling her storys I'd written and that lake, was always in every single one of my storys.
The tv controls were laying on the table infront of the couch among some magazines. He'd actually moved them. Of course he have moved them, you wacko! If he watched the game or something on tv he would've used the controls. Ugh! That voice again. It's driving me crazy. I was now in the kitchen. It pretty much looked like a plain kitchen. The wall over the sink, the counter and the stove was covered with glazed white tile. The cabinet doors were in wood and Edward had painted them in a faint shade of grey and blue.
The stove looked like any other stove. It was white with black hot plates, and there's a oven built into it. The fridge was a three quarter fridge and the freezer was a quarter freezer. It's just as tall as any other fridge, but it's standing on a mini freezer. There's a big wall cutting the kitchen from the livingroom, but there's a gap in that wall and if you go through it, it'll lead you to a little room where we eat. There's a big white wooden family table in the middle of the room, you can be around ten people sitting round that table. There are no paintings in that room, or in any other room, it's just a dull room with beige white wallpaper and wooden floor, there's a white little table in one corner, it's like a nightstand table, but yet not. There's one single poor plant on that table. There's nothing intresting in that room. We usualy don't spend any time in there exept when we have family dinners.
When you come through the front door, you see right through to the livingroom and if you walk into the livingroom, you turn to your right and there you have the kitchen. If you stay in the hall and turn to your right, you have a door, wich leads into mine and Edward's bedroom. And to the left (from the hall) you have a bathroom.
The bathroom floor is covered with black clinker (it looks like stone) and the walls are covered with glazed white tile, just like in the kitchen but there's a stripe, going round all of the four walls in the bathroom, with a none glazed beige tile. It's a beautiful pattern on it. You can't describe it. The toilet is a boring plain white and so is the sink. The shover are two round glass doors nudging each other. One is openable. There's a green plant hanging over the shower, why I don't know.
As stupid as I was, I let Alice furnish and decorate mine and Edward's bedroom. But it turned out to be a great thing, but an expensive one. When you come through the door, the room is rectangular. The wall on the opposite from the door is a backscene wall. Alice picked out a beautiful patterned wallpaper for the 'backscene' effect. The primer color of the wallpaper is darkgrey almost black and then there are silver leafs with tendrils covering the whole thing but with medium gaps so the darkgrey black color in the background won't dissapear. The leafs aren't entirely silver, they come in shades of darkpurple too. And it's so beautiful. The rest of the walls are just the primer darkgrey black color wallpaper.
All of the furniture in the room are white. The actual bed is made of wood, but Edward painted it white. The cover is dressed in a beautiful black, grey and darkpurple bedspread, and it's home sewn, Alice made it herself. The pillows have a matching overdraft. There are two small nightstands on each side of the bed, they are too in white wood. On my side of the bed, the left, on my nightstand, I have a alarmclock, a lamp my mother gave me and some earrings. On Edward's side there's a identical lampe. Funny story how he got it, because the lamp my mother gave me is over a hundred years old, but it's so beautiful!
The lamp is in the same darkpurple color as the cover on the bed and the as the leafs on the backscene wallpaper. I have no idea of how my mother got that lamp, but I love her for it! And Alice went all crazy when she saw it. That's why Edward looked for one just like mine on E-bay, and he found one too, at last. The bed is placed in the middle of the backscene wall, and right above it, Alice placed a mirror. I have no idea why, but it looks good there.
My makeup table is placed next to the door. In one corner of the room, we have a big black plastic pot plant! It's so cute, I love it, but Edward doesn't like it, though. Our room may seem dark, but it's not! All of the dark purple chades makes the room lighter when the blinds are up and the outside lights are shining through the windows. I love our bedroom. It's so private, but yet so light and open. And of course, I can't forget our white clothing chair! It's a easy, old fashioned, white wooden chair, standing in the corner next to my makeup table. That's about it. Our apartment.
I was still walking around, and Edward kept following me. "Why are you still following me?" I giggled.
"Why are you still walking around in circles?" He chuckled.
"I don't really know." I said puzzled. "It's like I've been here before, wich I have, but something's different, even though it's not." I turned, narrowed my eyes at him and smirked. "Nothing's changed right?" He looked around and sighed.
"Nope. Don't think so. But hey, we should eat now, you must be hungry! You've been walking around in circles for like an hour now!" I laughed.
"Fine." I tryed to reach for him, so I could give him a kiss, but my ribs wouldn't let me. I sighed, but my sigh turned into a evil smile. "Hey, you wanna know a secret?" I looked at me puzzled.
"What are you up to?"
"Nothing. Wanna know a secret?" I smiled evilly again.
"Fine." He said, still looking puzzled.
"Come here." I said and motioned him to come closer to my face. He hesitated. "Oh come here!" I said and grabbed his collar on his nice green shirt and pulled him close to me.
"What's the secret?" He said and held his face close to mine. I leaned in and whispered;
"I want to kiss you." In his ear.
"You could have asked!" He smirked and gave me a long kiss. I just didn't get bored kissing those soft, full, nice tasting lips. They were so perfect! I would kiss him all day if he'd let me. But no. I have to think about my breathing. He, as usual, pulled away way to early and I sighed.
"I don't like it when you won't let me kiss you as long as I'd like to." I sulked. He rolled his eyes and gave me a peck on my nosetip.
"You have to think about your breathing." We both said at the same time.
"I know, I know." I sighed and leaned into him. He wrapped his big arms around me.
"Let's eat." I looked up at him and he smiled. We walked into the kitchen and Edward lifted me carefully up on the counter next to the stove. He started to make us some pankakes. I watched him as he made the pankake batter, he measured every ingredient exactly. It was fun looking at him, he always had this weird look on his face as he measured. I tryed not to laugh, partly because of my ribs, but I didn't want him to get distracted.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. "I'll get it." I said and started to motion myself to jump off the counter.
"No you wont, stay right there." Edward ordered me, I just sighed loudly.
"Are you going to treat me like a baby for the rest of my life?" I asked him, annoyed.
"Yes." He smirked before he dissapeared around the corner to get the door.
"Hi!" I heard Esme and Carlisle say as the got through the door. "Where's Bella?" Esme asked. "Carlisle, Edward, take the bags and I'll go and look for Bella."
"She's in the kitchen." Edward said.
"Okey." I heard Esme say. I smiled to myself. I grabbed the whisk and carefully whipped in the batter to make myself look occupied. "Hello honey!" Esme said as she rounded the corner.
"Hi Esme." I smiled at her. I really love Esme, she's like my second mother. I can come to her when I'm sad, and I know that she'll always be there for me, just like my own mother, but Esme's a bit closer to reach than my own.
Esme came up to me and gave me a big hug. "What are you doing sitting on the counter, darling?"
"Oh, can't get down." I laughed.
"Edward won't let you?" She chuckled.
"Nope." We were laughing and talking about my injuries. I showed her the bruises I had on my stomach and across my ribs, and I told her to lay her hand carefully over my ribs on the right side of my body. You could feel where the ribs used to be broken. One of them were still pointing out.
"Oh my lord." Esme said, she almost looked frightened. "Aren't you going to have them fix it?"
"No, I don't think it's nessecarry, plus, it's to expensive." I said with a shrug.
"I'll go get Carlisle so he can take a look on it for you, honey." She said and walked away to get him. I touched the rib that was still pointing out.
"You will be a constent reminder of that day.." I said with a sigh and jumped off the counter.
I'M SO STUPID! I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT EDWARD AND BELLA HAS A WHITE WOODEN DRESSER IN THEIR ROOM. WELL, THEY DO. PICTURE THAT IN YOUR HEADS TOO. ;)
There it is! This chapter is sooo slow, I know. But I want you to have a full insight of what Edward and Bella's apartment look like. I think it's beautiful. :) And I love how their bedroom turned out. If anyone wants to know how Edward got the lamp, just ask me. :) I didn't want to make this chapter way to long, so I didn't write it down. That's probably all I wanted to say. :) REVIEW!
