Chapter 6
Thoughts
"Give thy thoughts no tongue."
Luckily for Fred and I, Esme saved us from certain death by shopping.
"Alice, perhaps Fred and Bree would like to see their rooms before they go on a shopping bonanza?" Esme suggested.
"Yes…I…we would like that very much," Fred said quickly.
"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!" I said enthusiastically. I had never been a fan of shopping, unlike all the other girls in my old school. I had never had the pleasure of spending money at my leisure. Perhaps that was why I had always been scornful about shopping, because for me it meant being forced to see all the clothes and trinkets I wanted and knowing I could never have them.
"Alright, alright we can go shopping afterwards," I heard Alice say, bringing me out of my musings. I glanced at Edward embarrassed; he had probably heard all of the thoughts and feelings. I would have to be careful about what I thought from now on.
"But you two are no fun!" Alice pouted.
I sighed, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the little pixie of a girl, "Sorry Alice it's just that I've never been a big fan of shopping." I tried to explain.
Alice crossed her arms, "You and Bella both!"
"Bella doesn't enjoy shopping either," Edward said answering my silent puzzlement.
"Are you always going to answer my unspoken questions," I asked him slightly annoyed. The one thing that was great about your thoughts is that no one could hear them; at least that's what everyone else thought. Now that I knew that someone possible others could read your private thoughts, I couldn't help but feel so exposed so…naked.
"I'm sorry Bree, I'll try not to do that anymore and avoid reading your mind," Edward told me apologetically.
"Thanks."
"My family has grown used to my mind reading, and I since I can't read Bella's mind, I have forgotten how people can get frustrated with my gift at times." He told me looking generally sorry.
"Wait, you can't read Bella's mind?" I asked amazed, while silently thinking that she was the luckiest girl in the world.
He nodded sadly, "At times I wish I could."
"I bet she doesn't," Alice ejected. "Now I think it's time that you two are shown to your rooms! I know you'll just love them!" She said happily.
"Now Bree your room will be at the end of the hall and next to Edwards," Esme told me while gently taking a hold of my hand and leading me up the massive staircase. Fred followed with Jasper and Alice close behind him.
"And across from Alice's," Esme continued. The long hall at the top of the stairs was paneled with a warm honey colored wood, the same as the floorboards.
"Fred this will be your," Jasper said gesturing to the first door on our right. "My room is right next to yours, and it is across from Carlisle office."
"Jasper could you show him his room while Esme and I take Bree to hers?" Alice asked her mate.
"I'll see you in a bit," Fred told me looking a bit nervous about having to be with Jasper alone, "try not to have to much fun without me."
I rolled my eyes at him, "I'll try my best."
"Your room is just a couple of doors down," Alice said while briskly leading us down the long hallway. "I'm afraid that it's pretty much empty, we weren't expecting you."
"But wouldn't you be able to "see" me coming?" I asked her.
Alice hesitated before saying, "Yes and no actually. I could see us offering to take you in but I couldn't see Jane's decisions. My visions can change they're not definite. I didn't want to prepare a whole room and then see that Jane decides not to spare you."
"That must get frustrating to know that your visions are not definite," I wondered aloud.
"At times," Alice said with a shrug and halted at the door we had arrived at.
"We again apologize for not having a prepared bedroom for you," Esme told me apologetically while opening the white door that lead into my new bedroom.
Except for a couple of lone pictures hanging on the wall the room was pretty bare, but I loved it all ready.
I walked around the room silently taking in all the surroundings. . It was pretty big compared to a normal sized room. An enormous window on the west wall gave me a spectacular view of the forest. I had a walk in closet and to my delight a window seat at the back of the room. The room even had a private bathroom even though I wouldn't need it.
"This is amazing," I said awestruck.
Esme beamed while Alice clapped her hands and said happily, "I knew you would love it!"
"It's so spacious," I murmured while I ran my hands along the white walls of the room. I could feel Alice and Esme watching me with amusement. I didn't care thought; I was having the time of my life.
"It's the most beautiful bedroom I've ever had, even though it is white," I babbled on. I realized that I had walked around the room at least 3 times now in blissful daze.
"I'll be happy to help you design your room," offered Esme with a smile
"I'm going to need your help, I don't know anything about designing a room!" I said laughing.
"I think you'll find your closet will be filled before we even start painting, thanks to Alice." Esme warned jokingly.
"It's true," Alice admitted with a small shrug. "Your closet will be filled before you even decide how to paint and furnish this room."
Esme and I exchanged looks before we both burst out laughing.
"It's not that funny!" Alice ejected when we still continued to laugh. "I was just stating the facts!"
"I k-know but it was just the way you said it," I managed gasp out.
Alice shook her head in disbelief at Esme and I and muttered, "You two are crazy."
