“Mhmm.” I mumbled.
Once reaching the hallway we turned right instead of left. There were doors going down both hallways. How many bedrooms did this place have? We came to the fourth door on the left and stopped.
Jonathon raised his left hand and knocked twice.
“Come in.” came the sing song voice, that I knew had to be Diana.
Jonathon opened the door and pulled me through with him.
A beautiful girl with long blond hair was sitting at a vanity brushing her long luscious slightly wavy hair.
She jumped up and ran over to us. Her blond hair swishing around her perfect slender shoulders . She was so effortlessly beautiful.
“Hi, Jonathon. Who is this?” She asked turning to me. Clearly the memo as to who I was had missed Diana.
“This is my soul mate, Kylie. She’ll be staying with us for a while.” He said to her.
“I’m Diana. Jonathon’s little sister.” She said extending a perfect hand to me. I felt like I was doing a lot of hand shaking. Her smile was breathtaking. She looked
like the poster girl of all things perfect.
“You’re pretty,” She said. I was lost for words. What should I say? Talk about awkward!
“Um . . . Thanks. I think.” I said. I think? I’m so stupid. They should just stamp LOSER across my forehead and call it a day.
But her statement had shocked me. I didn’t think I was pretty but I never thought about what someone else might think. Maybe she was just saying that to be nice, to make me feel more comfortable.
“Diana I’m going to show Kylie to her room. She is absolutely exhausted. You two can talk more later.” Jonathon said.
“Okay.” She said as she flitted back to her antique vanity like a humming bird.
She looked over her shoulder at me.
“I’m happy you’re going to be a part of the family, Kylie. It’s about time another girl joined the family I know that we’re going to be best friends. Goodnight,” she said in her sing song voice.
“I’m happy to be a part of the family. Goodnight, Diana,” I said to her, smiling. She smiled back.
Jonathon and I left her room. He closed the door behind us. Jonathon smiled down at me. We headed down the hallway the way we’d come, past the stairway. The walls in the hallway were painted a light brown.
As we walked down the other side of the hall I noticed that the house was designed like a giant U.
Jonathon stopped in front of the last door on the left. He opened it for me.
“After you.” He said with a little bow.
I entered the room and was shocked. I shouldn’t have been, since the whole house was beautiful, but I was.
“Wow.” I murmured.
“I thought you’d like it.” He said.
“I love it. This room is amazing.”
An antique chandelier hung from the ceiling casting a warm, cozy glow. The bed was huge, it had to be a king size. The head board was shaped like an old wingback armchair. It was covered in a blue gray fabric. The bedding was done in blues, grays, and purples. The walls had blue gray and silver stripes running down them. The dresser was old but painted with silver paint to match the walls. It was set between two large windows. A large, old, mirror hung above the dresser it was pure gold. An old fire place was in the corner of the room, casting a romantic glow. I glanced to my left and saw an updated bathroom; it contained a claw foot bath tub, just to retain something antique, in the mostly modern bathroom. A bench sat at the end of the bed it had curved arms just like the headboard. It too was covered in a blue gray fabric. The two windows in the room had purple gray drapes hanging from them.
And the view was amazing. It overlooked the back yard. The backyard had a fountain in the middle and I could just make out the faint trickle of water, there were flowers everywhere but not quite like Katherine’s garden. It looked like something out of an old movie.
“I’ll go get your stuff while you make yourself at home.” Jonathon said from behind me.
