Wedding Gifts 2


Esmé


Carlisle and I had decided to give them both a nice little house for their wedding.

Especially in the early days, the desire for physical love was very strong. And we all knew Bella. She would never make love to Edward in our house, knowing that six pairs of very good vampire ears would listen in.

When I thought of Emmett and Rosalie!

The two had done it several times a day. This was no longer something to listen to, so the two of them had also gotten a house, or rather, three houses. Emmett was very destructive in the first period of his gathering of sex experience.

It was very different with Carlisle and me. We had a tender and passionate love from the beginning.

I believed it would be the same with Edward and Bella.

After only three days of searching, I had found the perfect house for the two of them.

Being vampires, we were very fast at everything, so the house was finished in just two weeks.

Emmett had the most fun doing this. He loved to build houses.

Hopefully, Edward hadn't read everything in our minds! It was supposed to be a surprise for him, too. Knowing my son, he had most likely tuned out our thoughts regarding the house. What would Bella say to that? Would she be angry with us? She still didn't like it when people gave her gifts. But this was not only for her, but also for Edward.

I tried to decorate the house according to Bella's taste. Since I knew she didn't like all the white in our house, I had chosen a different wall color for each room in her house.

For the bedroom walls, I chose a shade of yellow that was almost orange, with a light parquet floor for contrast. The nightstands and the bed were made of dark brown wood, and a red fabric was stretched over the bed, like a four-poster bed. The bedding was exactly matching in red and yellow. Only curtains I had not found yet to it.

Right from the bedroom, as well as from the living room, a door opened into the dressing room.

Since Alice had to go overboard with the new wardrobe for Bella, they both needed a lot of space for their clothes.

If Bella saw this room, she would surely get angry. She would then say that a small closet would have been perfectly sufficient.

I could really imagine her facial expression.

This room I had immediately equipped with many compartments, again all in a dark brown and matching brown carpet.

As far as I knew, Bella liked all kinds of browns.

For the bathroom I chose two different tiles. One wall we tiled in apricot and the rest in cream. I bought a nice big corner bathtub so they both had room in it, and a shower made entirely of glass.

If Edward had anything of Carlisle's, he would love watching Bella shower.

Under the washbasin was a very dark, almost black base cabinet, and a cabinet for the towels and bath towels could not be missing, of course. Next to the shower were a toilet and a bidet.

The kitchen became relatively small, since it wouldn't be used for long anyway. Once Bella was transformed, she no longer needed human food. That's why I decided to make the kitchen a little smaller and the living room bigger. The living room was the only white room in the whole house.

Since they also didn't need a dining area after the transformation, I chose a kitchen with a work block where you could also eat right away and two armchairs to go with it.

I divided the living room with a room divider, so it didn't look so huge visually.

On one side was a couch, a dresser, a display case, a bookcase, and the TV with all the trimmings.

On the other side was a fireplace, a dresser with lots of candles on it and a huge couch with lots of pillows for nice hours for two.

One room was still completely empty.

Since I had no idea where Edward would want his piano or if Bella might need a study, I had thought of leaving the design of this room up to the two of them.

Next to the entrance was a second toilet, including a small sink, so that visitors did not have to go to the bathroom. After all, a bathroom is something personal.

I myself was glad that in our house everyone had their own bathroom, although we really only needed it for showering.

I tried out the couch by the fireplace and was lost in my thoughts of how great this house had turned out for me.

When I suddenly felt tender lips on mine, I startled up briefly.

Oh man, that had never happened to me before that I didn't notice when Carlisle came in.

This grinned and kissed me very passionately.

Then he immediately had the idea that we could use the corner bathtub of the two. Before I could say something back, we were already naked in the bathroom. It was unpleasant for me, but the cozy togetherness had to be used when you had the opportunity.

As the saying goes: What the eye does not see, the heart does not grieve over.

Well, they would never know!
