I actually had no home work for once it was amazing so here is actual chapter 3. Sorry for the wait but what can I say? I am a senior in high school after all.
Nothing has changed in the copy right category, sadly:-(
Surprise visitors ch. 3
When we pulled into the Cullen's house and we could already see esme on the porch waiting for us. She was just as beautiful as ever.
Alice, jasper, and Edward got out of the car before I could even undo my seatbelt. Edward came around and opened my door for me. I told him thank you.
He took my hand and together we met esme on the porch. I didn't see where Alice and jasper went.
Edward and I paused in front of esme, our hands were still entwined. Esme took a step before us and wrapped her arms around us both. Her head rested in between ours.
"Good morning dears." She squeezed lightly but it didn't affect me. It was just a normal esme hug, the ones I love. She let go quickly and took the pose she held when we walked up the stairs.
"What time do you want me back mom?" Edward asked. "That's really up to Bella. It how ever she wants to with stand myself, is fine with me. I am just happy she wants to spend the day with me. It always pleasant to have someone to cook for." She smiled at me. Something troubled me about her speech "how ever long she wants to withstand me?" I love this family esme included. I will have to tell her that later when it's just me and her.
"I can do that. You have my number if anything goes wrong. I love you both but Alice and jasper want to pick up Emmett and Rosalie for some reason. I will miss you, be safe my love." Esme's face fell. I thought it was odd.
He faced esme for all of the mini speech except the last part where he held our in winded hands and faced me. I faced him; too it was our goodbye moment. He first kissed our hands then he kissed my cheek. He let our hands fall and put then on either side of my face; it made me gaze into his almost black eyes. "Try to have fun sweetheart. Esme is just having a bad morning. Emmett and Esme got into a fight earlier over the cars. So that is why she is sort of grumpy. But I am sure you can brighten her day like you do mine each and everyday. I love you." Then he leaned forward and kissed me.
I closed my eyes, but opened them as soon as I could feel that his coolness was gone against my lips. "I love you too. Have fun and don't miss me to much. I will be fine I have esme."
"That's good. I will be back as soon as I can."
"I know."
We turned around to face esme but she wasn't there. "She went inside to give us some privacy babe." Edward whispered into my ear. "Thank you" I smiled at him and began to walk inside the house while Edward began walking in the other direction.
When I opened the doors everything seemed the same, the same back facing wall covered in glass, the curving staircase from the west side of the living room, the cedar and the high ceilings all the same. At least it looked like it to me.
"Bella dear come here." It was esmes voice coming from what seemed to be the dining room. "Coming"
I walked into the dining room. I had been oriented enough with the house to know where all the rooms where. When I walked into the dining room esme was looking at Better Homes and Gardens magazines. I walked up to her.
"Come and sit down. Help me figure something out." She had looked up from the magazine and had a smile on her beautiful face.
I pulled a chair and sat down next to her.
"What do you think about a fountain in the back of the house?" esme looked at me when she was talking.
"Uh… it would be nice." I was never one for properness, but I am with a Cullen.
"That's what I thought. Do you think the pump, three tiers, lion contemporary, or Rebecca at the well fountain?" she pointed at each one. They all looked lovely to me.
"Um… which ever one you choose would look nice."
"Silly Bella that why I wanted your opinion. Today I was thinking about making plans about a garden in the back of the house. If that's ok with you. We can do something else if you want to though. Today is your day."
"That is fine with me. As long as you don't spend thousands of dollars on me I am totally cool with what you have planned."
"Sadly Edward told me not to spend very much money on you. So that shouldn't be a problem. "Esme smiled again at me.
I smiled back at her. This was going to be a good day I was spending time with the closest thing I had to a mother here and my hopeful mother of the future. It was easy to make her smile, just be myself, besides that's all that people should be anyway. We already had enough repeats in the world.
I turned my gaze to the pages before me. All of the fountains was pretty in there own way, each one had there own distinction. The one that caught my eye was Rebecca at the well. It reminded me of esme in a way. Simple yet beautiful it actually reminded me of esme yet it didn't quite compare to her.
"I think this one would look great in the back." I pointed at it and her face began to glow. "I think that is a wonderful choice Bella. It will look great." She smiled again.
"Now I was thinking about pathway stones. What do you think?"
"I think that would look nice." I was almost getting into the project. Esme wasn't as pushy as some other vampires I knew.
"I knew it. Before we go much further I have to call Carlisle. He wanted to make sure I was ok. I think they are both prone to over protectiveness if you ask me."
I laughed a little. Of course it is where Edward got it from, his father. "Excuse me; I am going to go grab the phone."
"Ok, I will be here."
She got up from the table and grabbed the phone and was back before I could flip the page of the magazine.
She was talking vampire speed, I couldn't understand the conversation but I could see how in love they truly were by her facial expressions.
I sat there until esme's facial expressions went to shock all of a sudden. She dropped the phone; I could hear Carlisle yelling into the phone from where I was sitting. Something was definatly wrong.
