+ 4	He loved her first

“Wow this place is huge” she left her things by the door to look around the house. There was antique furniture in most of the rooms. The furniture was not in to bad of condition it just needed a little cleaning and fixing of some but not to bad. There seemed to be two ballrooms which both had intricately designed wood floors that needed a good wax job. After which they would shine and be ready for a ball. One had a lot of mirrors and deep wine colored walls. There was a long table at one end which she figured was for the food and drinks served at lavish parties that might have once been thrown there. The other ballroom had walls that might have been a beautiful champagne pink color that is now faded. There was a piano in this one for live music. They were both going to be beautiful again once she fixed them. She went further down and found a grand kitchen. “Man this is huge” there were three stoves old fashion wood burning. She would replace them with newer ones that would serve her better. Lots of counter space with the island in the middle shaped like an L. The cabinets were all oak wood they needed a little sanding and paint to tidy them up and the counters were made of marble pink they were beautiful.There was a formal dining room and a family room on the ground floor. Down stairs was what she thought might have been the maids quarters and playrooms for the children of the house and storage. Upstairs was where the family had lived. There was the master suite, three kids’ rooms, a nursery and three guest bedrooms. It was a magnificent house. Then there was an attic she walked up the stairs to the door but she felt herself shudder. She couldn’t open the door. “It was what Dean said that’s scaring me there is no witch or ghosts” but she left the door unopened.She brought her things up to one of the guest rooms. It was large with a four poster king size bed made of cherry wood. The walls were papered in silk and were a soft green. She had a lovely bench at the foot of her bed in the same wood as the bed and an amour as well. She unpacked her things and by the time she had toured the house and unpacked she was tiered. She went to bed. She was running but she didn’t know why it was dark and she was outside of the mansion. She couldn’t see what was behind her it was too dark. She knew she had to run. She came to a stop at the cliffs they spread out for miles. She had to get away to the left was the woods to the right was more cliff behind her was the house she was trapped with no where to run. She spun around and. Bella popped up in the bed “Some one’s after me” she screamed. She was sweating and scared. “It was a dream again” she had been having them since she got the news that her grandfather had died. She didn’t know where they were coming from or why. The therapist told her that she should come to this house and see if she could resolve them. “Well, Bella it’s not going to change in one night.” She felt that this dream was worse it felt more real this time but she wiped that away quickly.She got out of bed and took a shower to get ready for the day. Hopefully Dean would come soon and she could buy supplies for cleaning and find a decent repair man. When she was ready for the day she began to unpack her things. This was going to be a new adventure she could feel it things were looking up here it was great. By the time she was finished it was just after one o’clock and she heard someone knock. “That must be Dean” she gathered her coat and purse ran down to answer the door.She hadn’t been outside since last night when he had dropped her off. She never really noticed how pretty it was in the front yard. It was a sprawling yard of green grass. There were flowers under the windows in beautiful patches of yellows, reds, pinks, and oranges. It was truly wonderful.“Hello Dean” she stepped out of the house. “I’m all ready to go and I thank you tremendously for your help”“No problem how was your night in the castle?” they both walked to his waiting truck.Castle, it surely was big enough to be a castle. “It was good I was wondering if you would tell me some of those stories about the house” “Sure over dinner and after the stories we can discuss business” he made a turn onto one of the main rode’s in town.She shifted in the seat to look at him. “What do you mean discuss business?”“I’m a contractor seems to me that yesterday you said that you would need some repairs done to the house” he stopped in front of the car rental place “It just so happens I like to discuss such things over dinner”She thought about it for a while “Well I would need references but it sounds to me like we have a date” she climbed out of the truck “Tomorrow at six ok with you?”“Sounds good see ya then” he drove off.
