Bite Me
What if Bella didn't pay attention to what she was she was putting on as she got ready to meet Edward's family for the first time?
Bella stood in front of her closet contemplating. Edward would be there any minute to take her to his house and she still had no idea what to wear. ' There should be a manual for this' she thought. With a sigh, she grabbed the first items she saw, a black tee shirt and jeans and a hoodie which she zipped up over her shirt. She debated on pulling her hair back into a ponytail, then decided against it. Just because they were vegetarians, didn't mean she had to flaunt her neck. She finished getting ready just as Edward arrived.
The car ride flew by. Litterally. She still had trouble with the idea of 80 miles an hour being slow. Then what did he consider to be fast? She didn't have time to ask as they had arrived. The house was not what she had expected. It was bright, open, and full of light. Edward led Bella inside where his family was waiting expectantly. He introduced them in pairs; Carlisle and Esme, his 'parents'; the stunning Rosalie and athletic Emmett; Alice, who could see the future and Jasper, the most recent to join the family's way of life.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, they were soon chatting as if they had known each other for years, a first for Bella who was normally so shy. She started to feel a little warm so she moved to unzip her hoodie. At that instant, Alice was pulling her up the stairs saying she had an adorable shirt that Bella just had to try on. Once the two girls were in Alice and Jasper's room, Alice tossed a rose colored blouse at Bella and told her to put it on. Confused, Bella did as she was asked. After looking at the shirt she had yanked on at her house, she understood what Alice was doing. Embarrassed she buried her face in her hands. Alice only smiled and told her to come back down when she felt ready. Bella could only nod as Alice went back downstairs to explain her actions.
Meanwhile, Edward was a nervous wreck. What was Alice doing to his Bella? He thought she liked Bella. Why would she snatch her away like that? He was on his feet the second Alice walked back in. She raised her hand to calm him before he could speak. She explained that Bella was a little embarrassed and would need a few minutes to herself. She tossed the black shirt Bella had been wearing on the coffee table for the others to see. They all peered at the letters and instantly understood.
The shirt said Bite Me.
