Alexia Eden(51)

I blink outta my daze as I turn my attention to the door as I open it, I instantly spot the colour of the walls, my whole room is purple and black with silver trimmings it’s not a little girl’s room….it’s a room fit for a woman.

“Wow…” I sigh as I walk slowly into the room taking in my surroundings. The three walls are painted in a brilliant purple colour. Where my huge bed is, is a black wall that has Victorian patterned wallpaper in black with tints of purple and silver. My side tables are all black wood and my bed is one of those dark wood slay beds, it’s absolutely massive covered with silver silky bedding and plenty of pillows.

On the other side of my room is an antique dressing table with a huge oval mirror. I walk to the window that turns out to be doors which open up to a tiny balcony. I feel the thick soft curtains beneath my fingertips, they’re thick black lace with the same Victorian style on them. I walk to one of the doors in my room and open it to find a huge cupboard filled with clothes. I step out and take my shoes off to feel the huge fluffy silver carpet underneath my toes and I let out a giggle.

I look up to see Alex, Johnny and the twins all standing near my doorway staring at me in silence. I didn’t even realize they were there because I was too engrossed in my new room. Alex has tears running down her face with a smile and Johnny looks like he’s about to cry any moment now. The twins are smiling at me as always. I feel something wet on my cheek. I touch it and look at the teardrop on my finger.

Damn! I didn’t even realize I was crying.

I smile at them, and rush over to give Johnny a hug, I squeeze him tight. “This…this is really… my room?” I ask him.

I look at his face and see his eyes are watery, he’s trying desperately to swallow his tears away and he clears his throat.

“This is ALL yours Angel, I hope you like it, the boys mentioned that you like purple, and Alex basically designed the whole room for you. I noticed you like wearing dark colours to so I made sure she didn’t make it too girly for you.” he winks at me.

I give a weeping Alex a hug followed by the boys, “I can’t believe you guys did this for me! I’ve never had something so beautiful before, you don’t understand how much I love it! This means so much to me. I can never thank you enough!” I tell them wiping away my own tears and try to catch my breath.

“Honey we need to make up for the 17 years of your life that we missed, this is the very least we could do. We want to make you feel at home because this is your home, here…with us. Even if you don’t decide to stay here when you finish school, it will always be your room and you’re always welcome here.” This only makes me cry harder and hug her tighter.

“You haven’t seen the best part yet.” I notice Johnny roll his eyes as Talon says this and Alex giggles and shakes her head.

“Look behind door number two.” Tyler points to the door near my bed and balcony.

“I'm scared…” I say cautiously as I walk the distance, they all laugh.

I open the door and peak through only to find that it links to a bathroom, the bathroom has a huge shower and tub with a wide mirror that takes up the one wall of the bathroom by the two sinks. I let out the breath I was holding in.

“Nah-ah, open the other door.” Talon says pushing me towards it shaking his finger at me, I look behind to see naughty grins on both of their faces. I open the door just like I did the bathroom door, slowly. As I open the door I see a bed beside the same wall my bed is against, it’s someone’s room.

No not someone’s …the twins.

“Really guys? My door better have a lock on! The bathroom too!” they look at each other as if they’re up to something and then they run, each going to one of the doors and stealing the keys that were in them.

I chase after them throughout the house until I’m out of breath. “Okay, you guys win! I give up!” I laugh trying to catch my breath.

“You guys ready to go to the Lake?” Alex shouts from downstairs.

“We’re coming!” we shout back in unison.

“I’m quickly going to get my swimsuit.” I tell the boys; luckily I decided to pack it just in case.

I change into my dark purple bikini and put a halter top with the same shorts I wore earlier.

I walk out and downstairs to where everyone’s standing around the island in the kitchen. “Ready? I got a towel for you if you want to swim and we packed a picnic too!” Alex says excitedly.

We walk down a path to the lake that’s not too far; it was about a five minute walk through the woods.

The lake is absolutely breath-taking, the sun reflects off of it making the ripples of the water sparkle. We walk to the dock area that extends into the lake, there’s a few small paddle boats tied to the dock. Johnny lays out a blanket for everyone to sit on, Talon and Tyler sit on either side of me as usual and Alex and Johnny are in front of us leaning against one another.
