~ Chapter Two ~
Alec and myself we snuggled quite comfortably on the loveseat, ignoring the gazes that just read 'cute' from the rest of the Cullens, Jake and Seth.
"I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion - I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more. I could be martyred for my religion. Love is my religion. And I could die for that. I could die for you," he whispered in my ear. I giggled. One good thing, possibly the only good thing about your soul mate being in the Volturi for the past 400 years was all the arts he had learnt, which meant he was incredibly romantic most of the time and I was a sucker for romance.
"Don't even mention dying for me. We have eternity, remember? Anyway, it would be me dying for you"
"Nonsense. I would die for you"
"Nu-uh – I wouldn't let you"
"Uh-uh"
"Nu-uh"
"Uh-uh"
As always, our mini-squabbles ended in a tickle/kiss fight. This was the reason I loved our childish arguments. Though rather mature on the outside, secretly we were big kids on the inside, when in the mood to be. Though most of the time spent with Alec was romantic time, it was always enjoyable time.
"Don't you ever get lonely, Seth?" I asked, when done with my fight.
"Nah, not really. I mean I've got you guys and there's always Leah if I ever get desperate…" We all laughed. I mean, I had nothing against the girl but she avoids vampires as much as un-humanly possible and woe betide you if you catch her on a bad day. "Besides, I know that one day, I'll meet her". I smiled at him. You really couldn't help but love the guy. I was surprised he didn't have girls swooning after him already.
"Oh, by the way Phoebe…guess what I have for you…" Edward grinned. I groaned – you didn't need Alice to know that my car had arrived – finally. I was secretly thrilled about it, though. All my life I couldn't wait to drive and now I was being given the absolute freedom. "Come on…let's go". He was so eager for me to see my new car that he was dragging me to the garage, though there was no reason for it, at all.
I gasped when I saw it - it was even more gorgeous than I imagined in the flesh, so to speak. As suspected, a Bugatti Veyron, in black and grey. I hugged Edward tightly. "Forget what I may have said before – I love you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Glad you like it" he laughed. I hugged him once more before sprinting to it and flinging open the door. I was surprised to see Alice already in the backseat, crossing her arms impatiently.
"Well, go on then. I've been waiting, you know"
"Couldn't you just have foreseen what time I would get in?"
"You kept changing your mind"
Edward slid in beside Alice and then Alec entered in the passenger seat. Then Jacob attempted to get in.
"Jake!" I complained. "There's not enough room – it's only got four seats! We can't fit the entire family in".
"Hmm…you're right. Good bye Alec". He pulled Alec gently but forcefully out and took his seat.
"Don't look at me like that. I helped Edward with this car. I deserve first ride and shotgun. Besides, I was the first to teach you. I get rights!"
"Fine! Sorry Alec, you'll get next ride, I promise" I sighed. He grinned and waved me off as I drove out of the garage. It rode like a dream and went nearly as fast as running. Nearly, but not quite. Nothing compared to running, except when you were beaten by a wolf.
Please review - they really make my day! :D Thank you for all of the reviews, alerts and favourites.
