The sun was warm as it steamed through the main windows of Edwards room.
"Bella." Alice a asked through the wooden door to Edwards room, just load enough for me to hear from the black leather couch.
"Come in." I whispered knowing she would be able to hear me perfectly fine.
"Edward and the others will be back in about an hour." She informed me, smiling widely at me.
My heart leaped in my chest. Yes, Edward would be home soon. He would be in my soft, delicate arms soon enough. I missed him already.
"Thank you Alice. I'll just go and get changed and get some breakfast." I smiled, returning her enthusiasm.
"Erm..." She said still stood in the door way.
"Yes? Is something wrong Alice?" I suddenly became worried for my soon to be sister in law.
"Well... I had an idea..." She trailed off.
Oh no! What if she wanted to go on a shopping trip to the new mall that had just opened a few towns over.
"You can always say no. It was just a thought..." Alice was never this nervous. What was it she wanted to ask.
"And?" I pressed intrigued now.
"Did you want to go to the beach with me?" She said so quickly and quietly, in such a slur that I hardly caught a word.
"Pardon?" I asked.
"I said, do you want to come to the beach with me?" She replied like she was talking to an infant child.
"Like now? In the blazing sun?" I asked shocked. Wouldn't she sparkle and be seen?
"Er, yeah, now. If you want." She said hanging her head as if shamed.
"Of course I'd love to!" I said energetically before rethinking. "Ah. Well actually I didn't bring a bikini from Phoenix." I added.
Suddenly she let loose a high pitched giggle. "Aha! Let's be honest here Bella you didn't have one!" She gasped, catching her breath. "Okay, okay. Enough!" I hissed through my only erupting giggles. "Quit laughing at me Alice."
"Come on I'll get you one." She motioned for me to follow her into her room.
I stood from the couch, stretching and de-wrinkling my pajamas. I guess were going to the beach.
