23 - The House

My sleeping pattern is messed up.. I've been to sleep at 2a.m for the past 4 days. Oops...

I looked around as Liam turned to shut the door. The house was stunning. I was at a loss for words. I'd never seen something so beautiful.

As soon as you walked through the door, to the left was the living room. There was a soft looking dark grey l-shaped couch with cute little pillows for decoration. There was a large glass coffee table and a massive television sitting on a cabinet.

To my right was the dining table and chairs. It was a large table, long and heavy looking. It was made of marble, obviously. There were so many chairs that I didn't even bother to count. I imagined all of my family and friends siting at the dinner table.

Further ahead was the kitchen. It was an all white kitchen. Exactly how I imagined my dream kitchen would be. There were cabinets and so much bench space that I could only dream of how much food I'd be able to cook. The refrigerator was tall and wide, probably filled to the brim with food.

Wow.

"Do you like?" Liam asked me as he kissed my temple. I nodded eagerly as he pushed me forwards, walking me towards the kitchen.

The island bench in the middle of the kitchen gleamed. It was so clean and so new. Perfect. It was perfect.

"It's wonderful," I said, still shocked by the house itself. How did he find this place?

"My father started building this when I was younger. He told me that it would be where I'd live with the girl of my dreams when I was older. After he died, I continued working on it. It's been killing me to keep it a secret from you for this long," Liam explained to me. I walked over to the refrigerator and pulled open the doors. It was filled with food.

My heart swelled at Liam's words. He acted like he was still falling in love with me every day.

"It's perfect. Beyond perfect, actually," I said as I turned around to face him. I shut the refrigerator doors.

"I'm glad you like it. Lucas and Brianna's place is a five minute walk from here. You can probably see it from our room upstairs," Liam told me with an excited smile.

I grinned even more. I'd almost forgotten about upstairs!

I turned and rushed towards the staircase. I quickly went up them and giggled when I reached the top. I looked around.

There were four bedrooms in total. Three of them were empty, the last one the only one with things inside. There was another bathroom also. I rushed towards what I assumed was my bedroom.

There was a giant bed pushed against the wall. It bounced comfortably when I jumped on it. The cushions were soft and plush when I hugged them.

I got off the bed and rushed into the en-suite bathroom. It was all white also. There was a large shower, a toilet and vanity with two sinks.

Beautiful.

"I had Cass, Bray and Lila help me out with the decorations and design. They said you'd love it. Brianna was the one who picked out all the pillows," Liam's voice told me. I spun around, watched him lean up against the door frame. I grinned.

Of course they'd all known about it.

"For a girl who hates surprises, I really love this one," I told him with a cheesy grin. Liam chuckled and pulled away from the door as I stepped out the bathroom.

There was a balcony in our room. I walked towards it quickly and pushed the door open. I stepped out onto the balcony. It had some simple chairs and a small table set up. The balcony looked out over the pack and all the trees.
