Hi all, Here is chapter 5. Each room described throughout the novel has a link that goes with it, these are on my profile. Toodle pip :)
I don't own own the characters but I can play with them :)
It Must Be Love
Chapter 5 – Home
Edward's point of view
Once I am at my baby; otherwise known as Trixie the Volvo I get in the car and turn on the ignition. The sat-nav then comes on and I enter Bella's address, the address isn't too far from the hospital. Which I think is great because then if she needs anything else whilst she is staying at the hospital, I can run and get it for her whilst I am on my break.
By this time I am following the directions the sat-nav is telling me to go. Within five minutes I reach this gorgeous house. It is just absolutely stunning, I'm shocked, and it looks like it has been pulled out of the 18th century. As I saw the house, I was blown away. The door was green and it stood 3 stories high. In the front yard stood a big tree, and I could tell it would be just perfect for building a tree house, and it made me sad to think that Ethan didn't have a father that could build one with him. The path way up to the door was neatly trimmed and it was just perfect fairy-tale like even. I went and opened the front door and entered the security code. Once I had done this I just stood in the hall in shock even the hall way was just like Bella; it wasn't over done but homey. The way Bella had used wood made it such a relaxing atmosphere. I admired the wooden clock at the end of the foyer, and the nicely varnished wood dresser. After standing in awe in the hall, marvelling at her house, I got out the list that Bella had given to me.
The only thing that was downstairs was the bar of galaxy she wanted so I went down the hall and looked through the doorways and found a dining room that was a sweet little dining room, it wasn't formal or anything but it had a small table where you could have friends over and just relax. There weren't any modern features; it was just authentic vintage furniture. The dining room was a separate room, so I left the dining room and went into the other room and found this lovely living room felt completely homey and alive, as though it was used often. There are so many houses now days that look like show rooms, mine included. I hate my house. It's just so dysfunctional and I have lived there three years now and it still doesn't feel like home. Yet as soon as I walk in here I feel at home. This room was the living room; it was stylish but relaxed and was safe for a child. Bella didn't have a huge T.V but I have never been keen on the large T.V's, even though brother loves them.
After having tried this room looking for the kitchen I tried the last room downstairs and I was blown away by it as well, there was this huge kitchen living area, you could tell by looking it that it was the most lived in area. I saw the fide against the back wall and noticed the cupboard above the fridge and went to look in there and there was a big bar of galaxy. I just smiled because this was obviously a hiding place, so no one would discover her stash. After grabbing the bar of chocolate I put it on the centre top and went to retrieve the rest of the pieces that Bella wanted. I went back to the hall way and went up the stairs into a hall way that had book shelves running along one side and all the bookcases were full, completely full. I got out my list again and the first place on the list was the bathroom, she had written down that it was the third door along the hall way so I went along and opened the third door and yet again I was amazed. It wasn't a huge bathroom but then again who needs a huge bathroom. The deodorant I found was on the window sill and then the shampoo was in the corner of the bath by the taps and the shower gel was on the shelf in the shower. Once I grabbed these I put them at the top of the stairs so I wouldn't forget them.
I then went into the first door along the hall where I found Bella's bedroom and its smelled so nice that was the thing that hit me first it was just so sweet and sensual. I then looked around the room and noticed it was beautifully decorated but simplistic. I went to have a look in her draws to get the items Bella wanted. The draws were below her T.V. I found what seemed to be her underwear draw and realised that I was invading her space, but then I thought about it and found that if she had written it down on the list then she wouldn't mind me going through her possessions. I grabbed her some practical underwear and in boxes at the back I found some feeding bra's that she obviously brought for when she had Ethan. The next thing on the list was to get pj's which were in the draw below her underwear. I got her a warm top and trouser pair as I know it can get quite cold in the hospital during the night. Now I had to find t-shirts and leggings I am guessing that they would be in the other set of draws because there are more clothes. So I opened the top draw in the other set of draws in her room and found piles of t-shirts and picked up three just in case. I then looked in the draw below and found that she had piles of leggings neatly folded and I grabbed her two pairs of them for just in case as well. I found her hairbrush and some hair bands on the top of her draws and grabbed them as well.
I went out and put them in the hall way with the rest of the bits I had gotten her so far. I then went back into her room and found the connecting room which was Ethan's room which was also amazingly decorated. It was quite easy to find the things Bella had written down on the list because it was all neatly laid out. There was a wooden crib in the corner of the room, and a changing table with draws that held all Ethan's things. There was also a mobile hanging over Ethan's crib. I then grabbed those bits and this was then when I realised that I wouldn't be able to carry all the things to the car or into the hospital and I didn't want to be rummaging around Bella's house without her permission. So this is when I decided I would ring her on my mobile, this would also mean that I have her number in my phone book for future reference. Once I had saved her number on to my phone I called it. It then rang for a while before it got picked up. As soon as someone answered the phone I recognised that it was in fact Bella's voice. We then had a brief conversation about what to do with the bits I had got for her and she told me where to get a bag from and that they were in the utility room. I carried all the things downstairs and put them on the worktop with the others bits I grabbed from downstairs. I then followed Bella's instructions and continued through the kitchen and turned left and found the utility room and found some large reusable bags hanging on some pegs to the side.
Once I grabbed a large bag I returned to the kitchen and placed the stuff in the bag. Once I had done this, I turned around and noticed that there was a large conservatory attached to the kitchen looking out onto a beautiful garden patio and to the side was a swimming pool and pool house. Just looking at it made me peaceful and I could see myself living here with Bella and Ethan. Hang on where the hell did that came from of course I'm not going to live here with Bella; this is her house not mine. This was the time I decided to go before I started dreaming and that is never a good thing.
I went out to Trixie and drove off back to the house still dreaming of living in that house with Bella.
Please review and tell me what you think. Meg xx
