End of Chapter 1
"Well, Ты did an amazing job." I сказал(-а) to my younger brothers as I pulled the end off of a piece of bacon, chewing it quickly before I spoke again. "Will Ты two help me eat all of this?"
Charlie nodded and began pulling pieces of хлеб and Фрукты off and eating the slowly as John took a small step closer, taking some бекон, бэкон and eggs off my plate without a word. We all finished off my breakfast meal before I asked the boys to learn so I could dress for the day.
I pulled my long, straight, blond hair up into a bun before pulling on one of my Избранное lavender dresses which showed off my body shape, but wouldn't give any wrong impressions. I checked my reflection in the mirror and smiled at the beautiful young woman who smiled back at me.
"Happy Birthday Rosalie." I сказал(-а) to the girl in the reflection before turning and heading down the stairs to see the presents that my parents had gotten me.
Chapter 2
I walked quietly down the stairs, listening to my parents as they talked while waiting for me to Показать up. I knew that eavesdropping was not a proper thing to be doing..but I heard my name mentioned and figured I could stop and listen for a minute.
"He's too old for her." My mother said, her voice full of discontent.
"He's only a год older then him, and his father owns the bank. Think my dear of how this would help our social standing, plus I've heard how he is infatuated with her." My father said.
"She's too young." My mother protested.
"She's the same age we were, my love."
"But she's not ready." My mother complained.
"I think we need to let her decide that." My father said. "Don't Ты think Rosalie?" I wondered how he knew..but since they knew I was here I could not hige in the hallway any longer.
"Happy Birthday love." My mother сказал(-а) as she stood up and came to give me a hug. "I can't believe how grown Ты are, that Ты are 17."
"And amazingly beautiful." My father added as he turned and grabbed three beautifully wrapped gifts.
"This is from your brothers." My father сказал(-а) as he handed me the вверх present.
It was a small box with a beautiful red velvet ribbon. I smiled at both of them as I pulled the ribbon off gently and set it aside. Inside I found a pair of beautiful груша earrings, I was surprised by the color because what I thought was the normal white I noticed that in the sun they shown a beautiful pearl color.
"Oh my," I сказал(-а) as I took them out of the box and turned them in the sun to see the colors. "The boys have spent too much on me.
"Nevermind, the price." My father сказал(-а) as he wrinkled his nose. "Charlie saw them and сказал(-а) Ты had to have them."
"I will have to thank them," I сказал(-а) as I started to turn for the door, a firm hand wrapping around my arm as I tried to leave.
"And this is from your mother and I."
I took the large present from his hand, it was wrapped plainly in brown paper..but the bow again was velvet, except it was an amazing black velvet bow. Inside the package was a фиолетовый dress, made of the finest linen that I had ever seen. I could not imagine what I would war something this fancy for, but I knew that someday I would wear it and impress any man.
"Mother, Father." I сказал(-а) as I hugged them each firmly. "You have spent too much.
"Rosalie," My mother sighed. "Do not worry about how much we spent. Do Ты like it?"
"Very much." I сказал(-а) as I held the dress and twirled it around in circles. "Thank you."
"You're most welcome." My father сказал(-а) as he turned and grabbed the last of the packages which was larger then the first two.
"You really shouldn't have." I сказал(-а) as I took the largest of the three gifts.
"This one is not from us." My mother сказал(-а) as she admired the large box.
"The boys?"
"No, this is from a admirer." My mother told me. "Open it first, then we will tell Ты who it is from."
It was driving me crazy as I pulled the simple string off the package and opened it..shocked with what I found inside. Inside the package was a beautiful dark blue velvet jacket, the gift was the nicest thing I had ever received.
