Chapter 4: My family
When I had reluctantly reached the living room, I looked around and couldn't believe what I was seeing. The living room looked like some sort of modern palace, with a big chandelier hanging from the ceiling, glittering in the lights surrounding it. But the lights were a different matter there must have been thousands spread all over the place, like little diamonds sparkling in the sun. The food was amazing there was enough there to feed a whole city (but with Jacob and Embry it was like feeding a whole city). I was so happy that I had decided to come down because it wasn't until then that I realised how much effort Alice had put in.
But as I looked round at my family, my mood suddenly drooped. Here I was looking older than I am, and there they were looking younger than they are, also looking beautiful in the outfits that they had decided to wear.
Rosalie looked even more beautiful in the dress she had on. It was a ruby red dress with sequins sparkling in the light, getting my attention to her first. The dress barley reached down to her knees and showed of A LOT of cleavage, which I gathered was why Embry though she was hot, but to me she just looked like a slut, okay I'm jealous. She had her golden blond hair piled on top of head, with a few ringlets hanging down beside her ears. She was wearing way to much make up and it made her face look orange. Okay she wasn't but hey she stole the love of life. Sort of. She was standing with her hand on her hip, huffing and puffing. I could tell she was pissed off with me for being late. Huh, like she had better things to do all she did was gaze at her reflection in the mirror. I swear if she was in playboy she would buy just to look at herself.
There standing next her with his strong arms around her petite waist was Emmet. He had a big grin on his boyish handsome face and I could tell that before the nigh was over he would tease me enough to last me the rest of my life. I saw that he had not decided to dress for the occasion and was just wearing his usual jeans and t-shirt, oh and I mustn't forget his baseball cap. But just like all the rest he could wear anything and still look just as beautiful. Also he a slight dimple in his cheeks that stood out like a sore thumb as he was smiling so boldly. The dimple clashed with his masculine frame and he reminded me of a whale big but cute. His golden eyes were glittering making me think that he had some sort of trick up his sleeve.
On the other side of Emmet was my lovely uncle Jasper, bless him he looked like he really didn't want to be here, yet he was, for me or for Alice? I have no idea. Unlike Jacob he dressed for the occasion wearing a smart tux, which was clearly the work of Alice. But as I looked down at his shoes I smiled to myself slightly, as he was wearing.... sneakers, just like me they were his favourite shoes of all time. I looked more closely at his face and gasped slightly because underneath all of this light I could see his war crescent shaped scars more clearly that before, but this did not take away any of his astonishing beauty. There was something weird about him though because even though his golden brown hair was usually slightly tousled tonight it looked as if he had been dragging his hands through it, this got me worried. I looked at his face and he was smiling his big beautiful smile but it didn't really reach his eyes. I made a mental note to ask him about it later.
His arms were draped over my little Auntie Alice and I couldn't help but giggle a little bit because being just over 4 foot and standing next to Jasper who was like 6 foot something or other was highly funny. I looked at her and I felt the happiness radiating from her and into the room. She just looked so happy and beautiful. For the "special" occasion Alice had straightened her soft dark hair which was normally in spiked making her look like rock pixie, but tonight she looked very elegant. Her dress helped her with that look as it was made of golden silk and flowed down to the floor, it also made her look like a Greek goddess. She was wearing golden eye shadow as well which I noticed because it sparkled like little diamonds on her eye lids. Her smile was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen, I mean she looked as she had just saved the world from an invasion of aliens or found out she was pregnant or something like that. I couldn't help but feel guilty when I looked at how happy she was that early today I really hated her for throwing me this party. Well, dang. I never thought I'd say this but just for Alice's sake I'm glad I am here.
I had to move on from Alice or I would crack under the guilt. Oh boy, Esme had to be standing next to Alice didn't she? She was just a reflection of Alice's happiness. I mean seriously if you converted their happiness into water it would have flooded the world by now. Her beauty was so breath taking that I literally had to gasp a breath of air when I looked at her. The lovely caramel called hair that I was so jealous of was flowing down shoulders like a waterfall. The beautiful amethyst dress she was wearing showed of her curves in all the right places, she looked like an actress going to accept an award. Her big soft and round brown eyes were glinting under her long luscious eye lashes (jealous much?), making her look even more pretty. She had also sprinkled her faces with soft gold flakes of glitter and with her smile so big she reminded me of a star, in a way she was.
Standing next to Esme was my ridiculously handsome grandfather, Carlisle, their hands were intertwined together, I couldn't help but smile, they made such a great couple, I just found hard to imagine them not together. Just like the rest of the Cullen's he looked perfect. I looked Carlisle up and down and realised well he couldn't really dress any different for the occasion than he did daily. As he always wore a suit and had he golden hair slicked back with gel and all this made him look well, young. Well, dang I looked almost older than my grandfather. His golden eyes were sparkling at me like little stars in the sky. He wore a big smile on his face which showed off his perfect white teeth and they too sparkled under the present light conditions.
Standing next to my perfect grandfather was my normal grandfather, Charlie. Oh how I loved him, he was so brave to be here. If I was just a human I don't think that I would have the guts to be in a house full of vampires and werewolves, as I would feel scared and intimidated by their good looks. I mean I'm saying that my granddad Charlie is ugly, but he's just plain if you compare him to the rest of my family. Tonight though I was glad to see that he had made an effort to dress (although it was properly Alice's doing), he was wearing a nicely ironed navy blue suit with a crisp white shirt. I looked down at his shoes to see that instead of his usual dirty black work boots his wearing very shiny black "Carlisle shoes" which I didn't think he owned. The normal messy hairstyle he obtained n a daily basis was now slicked back with gel and oddly this made him look younger and healthier. Charlie was shifting slightly on his feet which gave me the impression that he was really nervous which was odd because he usually hung round here.
Standing next to my grandfather was my Dad; he was so astoundingly beautiful that most of my friends fancied him. There again he did look like some sort of fictional prince that a girl would make up and he would come to rescue her from the tower of doom. Tonight was no exception; he was wearing black suit pants with a white shirt that was slightly un tucked and with the sleeves rolled up and showed off his clearly muscled arms. The tousled unique bronze hair that my mum so love's was tonight extra tousled which my dad said he only did for special occasions. His smile was almost as big as Alice's, it was slightly crooked, and again this what my mum loved about my dad, she said it dazzled her so that she couldn't move and breathe. I had to admit that I did have my dad's smile and I thought it was quite nice on my dad but due to my really horrible features on me it didn't look right, well dang.
My dad had his arms wrapped round my beautiful mum, and my god how I envied her looks. She looked like an angel. Her chocolate brown hair was tied up in a bun but with soft curls dropping down. My mum flawless luminous face was glowing in the light which just made her look even more angel – like. She was wearing one of the most beautiful dresses I had ever seen in my life, it was made of soft sapphire nylon and came to just below her knees, just like Esme 's it highlighted her perfect curves and the long sleeves helped show off her slender arms. She had team the dress with dark blues heels, that had little diamonds up the side and they drew my attention to her dainty feet where she had painted her toenails a lovely blue colour. My mum was wearing dark blue shadow that highlighted her big round eyes and she had a soft pink blusher swiped over her cheeks showing off her supermodel like cheekbones. She was so breathtaking beautiful that I could see why I had not inherited any of her good looks.
With his arms folded and a big grin on his face was Jacob. I loved how his black eyes seemed to sparkle like little jewelled beetles underneath his long eyelashes. Tonight he was wearing his jeans with a shirt on trying to be forma yet casual but still looking handsome. Jake's tanned skin was so flawless it seemed he should be a vampire, I loved to look at how his skin seemed to have a slight gold tint to it making him look like an Egyptian prince. His long black hair was hanging loosely by his broad shoulders, shining like the night time sky. His was beautiful. Is it possible for anymore people in the room to look as if they are going to explode with happiness? I mean first Alice, then Esme and now Jacob? I think I might scream! Why are they so happy when I have made it perfectly clear that I didn't even what this stupid party? Now everyone was grinning at me like I had just saved the world from getting by a toxic meteor. ARGH!
I moved my eyes away from Jacob and looked at Embry who was grinning a seductive smile at me from behind Jacob. His perfect pearly white teeth were glinting dangerously at me from under his perfect arched lips. His beautiful brown eyes were staring into mine hypnotising me and making me not want to look away. Embry's skin was almost as beautiful as Jacobs it was a red brown colour and reminded me of a fox's fur as it ran through the woods. I looked down and saw her was wearing a v- neck plain white tee-shirt which showed off part of his finely muscled chest. He was also wearing tight skinny jeans which showed the slender shape of his perfect legs. His-
Again I got interrupted from my thoughts about Embry but this time by My dad. He cleared his throat and gave me a stern look. Oh no! I forgot he can read my mind. I have some explaining to do tonight. Well, dang.
