CHAPTER 4
HOME SWEET HOME
AN: I'm really very sorry guys! I know it's been a long wait but I was really busy with exams and summative projects. I hope you all forgive me. From now on, I'll be updating regularly, seeing as it is summer and all. I need to get back into the flow again. It's been a long time! Sorry again! I also would like to apologize for a change of plans. As you can see, the chapter name has been changed, and the sneak peak at the end of chapter 3 does not take place in this chapter. However, it will take place either in the next one or the one after that. I assure you. Now, on with it!!
It seemed like forever for the weekend to come and for Carlisle to come over and sign the papers. I felt guilty because things were moving very fast. I just met them about a week ago, and here they are, so very trusting, loving and caring. I was forever grateful to them. I also felt as if I was imposing on them. When I told Carlisle about this, he said that they were very happy to have a new addition to their family, and that I should not think that any more. I thanked him for his reassurance.
I packed all my things which wasn't much, seeing as they provided most of the furniture. They as in the people who owned the foster homish place. I took my clothes, my laptop, my school items and my study desk. It was one of items I'd grown attached to over the years of my long existence.
I could've moved the table by myself, but Carlisle and Edward said they would help because it would look suspicious if a sixteen year old girl carried an antique study desk. We used a small moving van which Emmett drove to the Cullen's home, while I followed behind in my car.
The room was a complete suspense for me. No one thought about it, and Alice blocked all future visions.
When I got there, Alice, Esme, and Rosalie greeted me at the door with cheerful smiles, well Alice had the biggest of all grins. Rosalie sighed with relief.
"Thank god Bella! Her jitters were getting on my nerves. She couldn't stop talking," she said.
"She has way too much energy for a pixie," Esme muttered.
"I heard that!" Alice retorted. Esme laughed.
"Thank you all for having me," I said, felling very happy. Were I human, I would have cried at their loving nature.
"Let's go see your room. C'mon Bella!" Alice said, tugging my hand.
She dragged my up the stairs, ignoring my protests that I could very well climb efficiently. I laughed. She took me to the top floor. The third floor. My room was right across from Edward's but a bit to the left. Rosalie covered my eyes with her hands.
As soon as the door opened, Rosalie took her hands off my eyes.
My breath caught. The walls were painted a beautiful golden colour. Flowers were painted in two rows which ran through all the walls. A closet lay to the right of the entrance of the room. And last but not the least, the flooring was hard wood, and it was shining brightly. The lights were on, and the room looked as if it had golden air in it.
"This is beautiful," I breathed. I couldn't believe my eyes. A black leather couch was pushed against the wall to the left of the entrance. The contrast between the black and gold was absolutely fascinating.
I turned to look at Alice, Rosalie and Esme. They all looked proud of their work.
"Thank you. I love it! Absolutely fantastic," Alice hugged me.
"We're very glad you like it Bella," a very familiar voice said from the doorway.
"Hey, Edward!" I greeted. And then I narrowed my eyes at him mockingly.
"And why, pray tell, did you feel the need to block this magnificent room from me? I did not expect this from you," I said, placing my hands on my hips, tapping my foot.
"Can you deny that this was worth the wait?" he asked grinning, leaning on the doorframe.
I laughed and shook my head. This was really worth it.
"Hey Edward…" Alice started.
"Great idea sis! When?" he asked, not even letting Alice finish her sentence. I peeked into their minds.
"Baseball?" I asked clueless.
"Of course! It's the perfect time. There's going to be a thunder storm," Alice said enthusiastically.
"C'mon, let's go get you ready," Rosalie said and took my hand, leading me out.
Edward just rolled his eyes.
A different out for everything. He thought to me.
Of course! It's Alice and Rosalie we're talking about here. I thought back.
AN: Sorry guys, this chapter is short, but I'm having some trouble in putting my thoughts into words. So please excuse me. Next chapter will be out soon. Please review!!
Thanks,
