 Bella… 

“Take me down to the paradise city where the fangs are sharp and the vamps are pretty, oh won’t you please bite on down yeeeah!” Now this is what I’m talking about windows down cruising along in my Koenigsegg agera with my stereo blaring, singing my ‘ol little heart out. You don’t fully appreciate a sunny day until you are stuck in a tiny town like Forks.

Mum – Bella.

Nice vocals sug ;)

I make the turn into the Cullen driveway, and fuck me if the driveway wasn’t narrow. I understand not wanting many visitors but hello! A narrow overgrown trail is not how a ‘driveway’ is defined. I wonder if they have an Adams family-esque house to match.

Swinging around the final bend I realise, not.

Wow-fuckin'-wee, now that's what I call living. The house seemed to rise up out of the forest. Three stories high with a gorgeous porch that wrapped around the whole of the first floor, the whole front and what I could see of the sides, was painted a off white.

Dr. Cullen and his wife, I presume, must have heard me coming - not that you need supernatural hearing to hear my beast - as they stood waiting just outside the open doorway.

Well doesn't momma Cullen look pretty as a picture in the mom sort of way; Caramel coloured hair hanging just past her shoulders, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt that looked to be embroidered with butterflies around the collar and hem. Tan slacks and low-heeled sandals completed the look.

I had compensated for my little bitty denim shorts by teaming it with a cute little white top that had spaghetti straps and an empire waist. It was long enough that none of my midriff was on show and cut low enough that the beginning of my cleavage was working. It's a fine line between slut and sexy but I managed it - mostly.

High ponytail and ballet flats completed my get-up and I looked like I could be selling cookies for the local girl scouts. Speaking of which, I grab my shoulder bag containing my 'surprise' for the Cullen clan to show my appreciation for taking in my delinquent derriere and showing me the error of my ways

I slapped my best Miss Congeniality smile on my face and approached Dr. and Mrs. Cullen. "Isabella. It's good to see you looking better then on our previous acquaintance..." Yeesh! He looks like a god and speaks like my granddad. Surely he's not nervous? "...let me introduce you to my wife Esme"

"Hey Dr. Cullen, Mrs. Cullen" I trailed off totally not knowing what to say. Okay awkward. Do I say "thanks for having me?" I suppose throwing myself at their feet and ask "Do you vant to suck my blood?" in my best Christopher Price voice might break the ice a little...it would be funny as hell, but it wouldn't really make it less awkward!

"Isabella, welcome to our home and please call me, Esme"

"The same here, Isabella" said Dr. Cullen. What! "Call me, Carlisle." he said with a smile, obviously noting the look on my face. Ah! Not always the quickest brick on the block am I. "Okay, but I prefer Bella" We all smiled at each other like idiots...at least the awkwardness had lessoned. "Well then, come on in Bella and meet the rest of the family. I know they are all excited about you being here." Esme said as she moved to the door beckoning me to follow. Excited? I'm sure that's not entirely accurate but a lot of planning had gone into getting me to this point so..."lead the way", and I followed Esme into the house.

It was easy to ignore the various Cullen's scattered around, though I quickly noted that Jasper was absent, as my whole attention was taken with the interior of the house. I really don't know what I expected but the 'comfy contemporary' decor surprised me. It looked like pretty much of the whole downstairs had been opened by removing many of the interior walls. The whole colour scheme ranged from brilliant white to pale green with a wonderful array of browns and beiges that shouldn't have worked, but strangely did.
