Time-Chapter1
Chapter One
Wow. I must say I am impressed, when Stephen and my mother said they had taken special measures into buying our home, I thought they were kidding, but I undermined them both because I just walked into the most perfect house I have ever seen. We drove about an hour after arriving in the airport, passing the commercial side of town and entering the reserve I didn't thinks Forks was any special since everything looked old, and I knew my mom thought the big seller was that there was a beach in the reserve, but lemme tell you something, the beach that surrounds Louisiana was perfectly fine for my taste and its so cloudy in Forks when would people even go swimming? We got off near the beach and I saw this tiny looking house- nu uh – it was more like a cabin and I thought if this was any indication of what they meant by special or how this stay was gonna be like, then I was out, totally out, I hadn't even realized Stephen going into this seven minute spiel on how he had the time of his life in that house and how he had done most of his serious thinking by the sea.
"That's wonderful honey, but now we have to show Fer our home" My mother cut him off.
"Wait, we aren't living here?" I asked
"Well of course not! Nena! Our apartment in Brooklyn was bigger that this house all together!" My answered, with a clear look of horror spread across her face. Stephen turned to face us both with a hurt expression on his face. I decided to break the silence by reminding them I still didn't know where we lived. Stephen was the first one to respond "Well, due to fact that I knew, you would like to have your own room and that your mother found this the only fit solution, I built a house."
"You built a house?" I almost yelled, trying to hide my surprise.
"N-No but I made all the plans and over saw the work" he quickly added.
"Uh-huh, so where is this house, you two keep talking about?" I asked, already setting myself up for disappointment. They lead the way and before I knew it I was jumping up and down, throwing doors open, eagerly looking out windows, this home had five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a killer view from every window. "It's perfect!" I announced. Stephen clearly pleased with himself smiled and whispered" Theresa, had everything built the way you said you wanted your home in America to be." I nodded clearly remembering that conversation, it had been weeks after my father died when my mom and I needed to gain some perspective into what we were going to do with our lives, we decided we would make plans and lists, so we began with our dream house.
"Stephen honey, don't forget that we have been invited over to your friends house for lunch" my mother chimed from their bedroom.
"Were going someplace?" I asked.
"Yeah, some family friends- the Clearwaters" he replied, quickly adding" Wear something casual"
I smiled; Stephen always read my mind, even when I was a kid.
So this is the first chapter to All the Time We'll Have! This story is progressing rather slowly, even for my likes. Dont worry though! There will be plenty of Fernanda/Seth time to come, I just wanted to build her character a bit before she met Seth. More chapters will be coming out quickly!
Anyways enjoys and please review!
