When Demetri finally came back last night, you were already fast asleep and too pulled inside the dreamland in order to deal with him. It was on purpose; you didn't want to see him, you didn't want to deal with him until you were in the right state of mind to do so without smiting him into tomorrow. And honestly speaking, it was not as easy at it looked like at all. Heidi was good enough to let you on some info you apparently did not know and had to know; of course, you were not naïve enough to believe it was out of the goodness of her unbeating heart, but you thanked her nevertheless for telling you. As you hang up the call, Bella and Alice questioned you what was wrong since you had grown pale and serious in a matter of seconds, but you reassured them everything was fine. They weren't convinced.
Just like Demetri this morning.
As soon as your eyes were open, you were downright ignoring the man by texting furiously on your phone and acting as if anything he told you was of no importance. This behavior had earned you a few questioning looks but the questions accompanying them went unanswered and the man got ignored. Apparently though, it would not be so easy for today, since after a while the man announced he had a surprise in store for you and you were leaving the motel.
So right now, you were sitting on the passenger's seat, phone in hand and texting with Embry while Demetri drove over to whatever the hell your destination was. It appeared you were heading towards the outskirts of town, since the houses grew scarce and the forest took their place, filling the place with a magnificent green tint but you still had no idea where you were going.
'Will you leave the phone aside for a minute? You are making me regret ever giving it to you.' Demetri growled angrily, his fingers tightening around the steering wheel in dismay.
'I'm in the middle of a very serious conversation here. So no.' you reply emotionlessly as you send Embry an angel emoticon and a wink.
Demetri sighs 'What is the matter _____? I can see you are angry.'
'Hello there Captain Obvious, how are things going?' you throw back at him, feeling his gaze piercing the side of your face but you would be damned if you turned to look at him straight in the eye.
'I always know when you are angry, you cannot hide fr-'
'I cannot hide, but in return you can hide quite well, right?' you roll your eyes before you have the chance to control yourself, giving in to your anger and mentally cursing yourself. You didn't want to lash out, you wanted to keep all the info as to why you were angry to yourself.
'I have never hidden anything from you.' Demetri replies calmly, further infuriating you.
'Of course you haven't.' you shrug 'You're just a perfect little angel, aren't you?'
'I never said I-'
'Are where there yet?' you interrupt him yet again 'I'm getting tired of this conversation.'
Demetri blinks sheepishly, taken aback by the surprise for the very first time and struggles with his words, trying to answer and understand what the hell is wrong with you all at the same time. Which was utterly impossible, he concluded. Instead of giving you a response, he takes a turn on a small road that lead away of the highway and after one minute of more driving, he stops right in front of a huge two floor house. The moment the car stops, you take it as a cue to get out of the car so flinging the door open with not as much as a second thought, you stand right in front of the car and admire the majestic house.
It was a simple, American styled two floor house with a huge front porch and a few steps leading to the porch and front entrance. It had big windows overlooking the front yard and it was painted in a beautiful light blue color with white window frames and a white front door. Even with a single look at it, you could tell there was more to it than met the eye, but you simply refused to express your curiosity in investigating it more. The surprise though had pushed away the anger and must have been written all over your face because Demetri smiled cockily the moment he was beside you and looked at your filled with wonder face.
'We'll be staying here from now on. My surprise for you _____. A new home.' He gently coos, passing his hand on your back gently.
You shoot forward in the mere touch, completely ignoring the clearly disappointed and surprised man to walk fast towards the house without a single look back. Your hand wraps tightly around the doorknob and you open the unlocked door widely.
And the interior blew your mind away.
Behind the entrance door spread a narrow but vast hallway. The walls were covered by dark brown wood up until a certain point, which matched perfectly with the rest of the walls that were covered in a luxurious wine red wallpaper, making the whole place seem dimly lit but lavishly grand nonetheless. A narrow wooden staircase was placed on your right, leading up to the first floor while on your left were two doorframes which lead towards the rest of the house. A beautiful chandelier was adorning the ceiling, filling the place with light, while a thick off-white carpet covered the whole staircase and the hallway, drowning away the sound your steps made. Beautiful paintings of people and landscapes adorned the walls, while a small marble table rested in the immediate left of the door with a huge mirror hanging above it and a coat rack was resting lazily near the wall.
You thoughts were positively a mess as you took in your surroundings and before you even realized it, you were walking through the door on your left, walking straight into the kitchen.
The first thing you noticed, was the plentiful light coming inside both from the window on your left and the vast wall window right across from you, which continued on undisturbed to the next room and having a breathtaking view to the porch and the forest surrounding the house. A dining table with six chairs rested on your left, made out of oak wood and decorated with a crystal vase overflowing with white roses while on your right was an enormous kitchen island decorated with black granite and various kitchen appliances. Behind it was the rest of the kitchen with the selves and surfaces in the very same colors as the rest of the furniture while the oven and the fridge were brand new and made out of cold metal. The whole room was in a warm beige color and the floor under you was made out of oak wood as well, matching perfectly with the rest. All appliances seemed brand new and ready for use and if you had guessed correctly, they were all new models.
Walking towards the door right next to the fridge, you immediately find yourself in the living room of the house and this time, you cannot help but inhale a sharp breath of pure wonder.
Everything is in the warm shades of beige, browns and oranges covering the walls and the wooden floor in a breathtaking pattern as the wall window continued on around the room and covering the entire left side of it, offering light and view to the porch and forest. Right as you passed the door, a huge dining table rested in front of you, surrounded with chairs and decorated with two huge crystal vases filled with roses and lilacs while right next to you on your right was a grand buffet filled with crystal glasses, decanters and porcelain plates. Beyond them were three traditional American couches, two of them in beige color with orange and beige pillows with various patterns, as they faced each other and the third sofa was on the head of the small coffee table which was in the middle of them, facing the huge marble fireplace and the flat TV over it, in a rich orange color.
