A/N: I decided to continue, mainly for all the feedback I have received from this. Thanks to all who have reviewed, and I hope you continue to read this. And before I go any further, I just want to say that I don't own any of these characters. I just thought I had to say that, so there.
I managed to pull myself together, and I walked back towards my bedroom. Alice was lying lazily on my bed, when I entered my room.
"Are you ready to go?" I asked, standing by my door.
"Whenever you're ready." Alice sat up and smiled at me.
"Come downstairs. I need to eat something." I started walking down the stairs, and Alice was trailing right behind me.
I looked in my cupboards and found a box of cereal. I began to pour some of it into a bowl, as Alice watched me with curious eyes.
I'm acting strange. I need to be my usual self around her. Snap out of it! I shouted in my head.
"What are you eating?" Alice asked.
I turned to face her, and showed her the box without saying anything.
"Trix?" Alice questioned, a small smile playing on her face.
I smiled from seeing her reaction and responded, "Yeah, I happen to like it."
"But isn't that stuff only for kids?" Alice continued to joke with me.
"No, they just say that so the rabbit will stop trying to steal their cereal."
"Why would a rabbit want cereal?" Alice asked.
I laughed and said, "I don't know Alice; that's a good question."
Why are we even talking about this?
I sat down at the kitchen table beside her, and began eating. Alice examined the back of the cereal box while I was finishing my cereal.
"So are we going to talk about that dream you had?" Alice asked me once I finished breakfast. She didn't even take her eyes away from the box.
"Alice, I don't remember saying that part in my dream." I said as I got up from my seat.
"Well, what did you dream about in general?" She asked me, standing up alongside with me.
"Why do you want to know so badly?" I turned around to look at her, and she bumped into me.
I stumbled back a few steps, but she caught my arms and pulled me back into her. "I'm sorry Bella. You're not hurt are you?"
"No, I'm fine. Why are you so…human today? First you caught me changing, and now you ran into me. Are you feeling okay?" I asked with concern.
"I'm perfectly fine Bella. I'm just focused on something else at the moment, and I didn't realize what I was doing." Alice still had me pressed against her.
Her eyes never left mine.
"What's on your mind?" I asked, trying to get her to forget the conversation about my dream.
"You" she said calmly.
I raised my eyebrows, "What about me?"
"Everything"
Alice didn't say anything else; she just stared at me; her hands still holding me against her body.
"Umm…maybe we should be getting to school now." I said awkwardly.
Alice closed her eyes for a second, and then reopened them again. Looking more focused, she nodded her head. "Okay, let's go."
She released me from her body, but held onto my hand. She lead me out of my house, and over to her Porsche. She opened the passenger side of the door for me, and then walked over to the driver's side.
I sat in the car, and waited for Alice to start driving.
Why is she acting so strange today?
Once she got in the car and shut the door she looked at me again.
"Are you sure everything is okay, Alice?" I asked as I stared back at her.
"Everything is fine Bella; just looking at your pretty little face." Alice smiled, and turned on the car.
I blushed from her comment, and remained quiet as we began our way to school.
Classical music was playing through the speakers, and it helped me to relax. I closed my eyes, and thoughts of the dream came back to mind. I smiled to myself as I remembered every single detail of what took place.
I felt the car stop, and the engine shut off. I remained with my eyes shut, wanting a few more seconds of peace.
A cool hand touched my cheek, which I assumed was a memory from my dream, but in fact it was Alice trying to get me to open my eyes.
"Are you still tired?" Alice asked quietly.
I opened my eyes, and looked at her hand that was still placed against my cheek. She must have seen my reaction, because removed her hand from my face immediately.
"Yes, a few more hours of sleep would be nice." I smiled weakly, and touched her hand that was just on my cheek seconds ago.
She opened the palm of her hand, and my fingers laced in-between her own.
"You mean so much to me, Bella." Alice said after she looked down at our hands, and smiled.
"You mean a lot to me too. I appreciate everything you do for me. You're a great friend."
"A friend" Alice repeated a moment later, more to herself than to me.
"My best friend." I added.
"Sometimes, I wish I could be closer to you." Alice said after a while.
"What do you mean, Alice?" I asked curiously.
She looked at me with pain in her eyes, and was about to say something else when there was a tap on the window.
I turned around, and saw Edward standing there, smiling.
I smiled back immediately, and my hand left Alice's as I got out of the car to greet Edward.
"Hi, did you have a good hunt?" I asked happily, as I gave him a hug.
He returned my hug loosely, and kissed me on my cheek.
"I did, but it wasn't enough. I think I may have to go hunting again tonight." Edward smiled.
This is when Alice stepped out of the car, and stood by my side. I thought she would have been out of the car faster than me.
"You'll keep an eye on Bella for me tonight?" Edward asked her.
"Sure, I don't mind." Alice said as she crossed her arms against she chest and smiled.
"Great" Edward said happily. He then took my hand in his, and we began to walk to my first class. When Edward took my hand, I remembered having Alice's in the same exact hand only seconds ago.
It tore my hand out of hers when Edward showed up. How inconsiderate of me.
I looked back at her, and she waved to me; smiling as usual.
I smiled back at her and said, "I'll see you later."
She replied, "Okay, and we're not finished talking about that dream of yours."
I immediately frowned, and watched her walk off to her own class. I then turned around, and faced forward again.
"What was your dream about?" Edward asked curiously.
"I don't remember, but Alice seems to think differently." I lied to him. I couldn't tell him the truth; he would get pissy if he knew. Although I hate lying, it was for the best.
Edward walked me to my first class, and I kissed him on the lips briefly.
"I'll see you at lunch." I said to him. He smiled, and began to walk away. I walked into my class, and began the school day as usual.
Lunch came quickly, and I was glad for the momentary break that I had. I walked into the cafeteria, paid for a bag of chips, and walked over towards where Alice and Edward were sitting.
"Hey" I said to the both of them with a smile on my face.
Both Alice and Edward looked up at me and smiled in return, as I sat down on the opposite side of them.
"How were your morning classes?" Alice asked me.
"They were okay, nothing unusual happened. How has your morning been?" I asked as I opened my bag of chips and began eating them.
"Uneventful. I'm so bored right now." Alice smiled as she watched me put a chip in my mouth.
I nodded, and looked over towards Edward, who didn't look too good. Alice noticed that I was looking at him, and she filled me in on what was happening.
"He needs to go hunting really bad." She said quietly.
"Why don't you go now, Edward? You won't be missing anything." I suggested.
"You see. I told you she wouldn't mind." Alice told Edward.
"Are you going to be okay?" Edward finally asked me.
"I'll be fine. I have Alice here with me." I looked back over towards her and smiled.
"Yeah, we can have a girl's night." Alice seemed excited.
Girl's night…that sounds too girly for me.
Edward looked at me again and I said, "Don't worry; I won't try to escape. I want to spend some quality time with Alice."
Alice looked at me and, although I didn't think it possible, her smile grew wider.
Edward nodded his head and stood up quickly, "Thank you, Alice."
"No problem, Edward. I'll see you when you get back."
Edward then turned to me and said, "I'll be back soon. I love you."
For some reason I looked at Alice when he said that and responded, "I love you too" without taking my eyes off of Alice. Once I finished saying that I looked back up at Edward, who was straining to smile.
"Hurry up and go." Alice pushed Edward gently.
Edward nodded, and began walking out of the cafeteria. Alice watched him leave the cafeteria, and once he was gone she turned back towards me. She had a mischievous smile on her face.
I continued eating my chips, trying to look as innocent as possible.
Don't say anything about my dream.
"So about that dream of yours…" Alice began.
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "I told you I don't remember."
"Any of it?" Alice asked.
"No" I said, and then began staring at my bag of chips. I had to look anywhere, but at her.
"Bella…" Alice said, trying to get my attention.
"Why are you lying to me?" She asked.
"What makes you think I'm lying?" I looked up at her finally, something I shouldn't have done.
"Because you're not a good liar, and I can tell." Alice smiled and stared at me.
I sighed, and ran my hand through my hair out of frustration.
Alice raised her eyebrows, and continued watching me.
Her stare was making me feel intimidated, and she wasn't going to give up on this stupid dream.
"Fine…you win. I do remember what my dream was about, but I don't want to tell you." I caved.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Because it's embarrassing." I admitted. She wasn't going to get anything else out of me.
"You know you can tell me anything." She said.
"Not this." I was looking back at my bag of chips.
Alice reached across the table and grabbed both of my hands; which caused me to look at her again. "When are you going to let me in? You can trust me; I will always be there for you no matter what." Alice said in a serious manner.
"I just don't want to make you feel uncomfortable." I said as I stroked one of her cold fingers with my own.
"You wouldn't be doing that." Alice said, as she watched me play with her fingers.
"I don't know Alice." I sighed, and looked straight into her golden eyes.
"I won't bother you anymore with this dream you had, but I just want to know what's going on in that head of yours. I don't want to be shut out."
"But you're not shut out. I tell you a lot of things."
This is when the bell rang for the next class to begin, and everyone started to get up around us.
"I just want to be closer to you." Alice admitted.
This was the second time she has said this today.
"I want to be closer to you too. We should spend more time together; I would really like that." I finally spoke up.
"I would too, and I'm going to hold you to that, but for now I think you should be getting to class." Alice said.
I looked around and noticed that everyone was leaving the cafeteria.
I turned back to her and said, "I'll see you after school."
"I'll be waiting." She said, as we both got up from the table and went our separate ways.
The rest of my classes were boring as usual. Most of the time I was thinking of Alice and what was going on in her mind.
After school, just like she said, Alice was waiting for me by my classroom door.
"How was the rest of your day?" She asked me curiously.
"Boring, and yours?" I asked.
"The same. Are you ready to go?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, where do you want to go?" I asked.
"We could go back to your house if you want to." Alice said happily.
"That sounds good to me." I said as we walked towards her car.
The ride back to my house was silent for the most part. Alice still had classical music playing quietly in the car; which made me relax yet again. I shut my eyes once more, and relieved my mind for a minute.
It only took a few minutes for us to arrive back to my house. I heard the music stop playing, and her car shut off. The only thing I heard now was the sound of rain falling quietly against the roof of the car.
"Bella, it's starting to rain. Do you want to go inside before it gets worse?" Alice asked me.
I opened my eyes, and looked at Alice who was looking at me.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I'm just really tired today." I yawned, and then opened the door to get out of the car.
Alice was out within a second, helping me get to my door without getting wet. Once inside the house, I thanked Alice for helping me get to my door and I walked into the living room.
"Do you mind if we just watch TV for a while? I feel so lazy today." I asked Alice.
"Not at all. Whatever you want to do." Alice walked over towards the sofa that I had sat down at, and took a seat right next to me.
I gave her the remote control and told her, "Find something good on; you're usually good at doing that."
She smiled and began flipping through channels as I watched the screen lazily. I yawned, and leaned into Alice so I wouldn't have to keep holding my head up. She gladly allowed me to rest my head against her shoulder; she even wrapped her arm around me to keep me close.
"You smell nice" I randomly said to Alice as my eyelids began to grow heavy.
The last thing I saw before I fell asleep was that Alice had it on the food network, and someone was baking a cake.
My eyes were shut, but I still felt Alice beside me. The only difference was that there was now something tugging against my jeans.
I opened my eyes slowly, and saw that Alice was trying to undo the button to my jeans.
"Alice, what are you doing?" I asked, surprised.
She looked at me with a confused expression and said, "I thought you wanted me to do this, baby."
Baby?
Alice then kissed my neck, and began to nibble on the lower part of my ear.
I was going to protest, and ask her to stop…I really was, but it just felt so good. I couldn't ask her to stop.
My mouth opened slightly, and quiet gasps of air escaped.
She removed her mouth from my ear and asked, "Do you want me to stop?"
"No" I said quietly.
"Good" Alice said, and placed her mouth back on my ear.
Her hand continued to pull on my jeans, and finally she got the button undone. The next thing she did was pull down slowly on my zipper.
"That's much better." Alice whispered into my ear, as she continued to kiss it.
Her hand played with the band of my panties for a while, just to try and tease me.
"Do you want me to go further, Bella?" Alice asked.
"Yes" I whispered back.
"Yes what?" Alice asked.
"Why are you teasing me Alice?" I begged to know why.
"Because it's fun to see you want me." She replied before she slipped her hand inside my panties. It took only a few seconds before I felt a wave of pleasure come over me as she touched me where no one else had before.
"Bella" Alice called my name.
Damnit, it's a dream again!
"Bella, wake up." Alice shook my shoulder lightly.
I opened my eyes quickly, and the first thing I did was look down at my pants. She hadn't touched me there.
"Are you okay Bella?" Alice asked me,
"Yeah, I'm fine. How long have I been asleep?" I looked at her and asked.
"I would say about an hour."
I nodded my head, that wasn't too long.
"You were talking in your sleep again." Alice added.
I groaned, and threw my head back against the sofa.
"What did you hear this time?" I asked, annoyed at myself for talking in my sleep.
"Why are you teasing me Alice?" Alice said as she looked at me.
I sighed, displeased with myself.
"Are you going to tell me what you're dreaming about now? I think we should talk about it." Alice said with concern.
"It's too embarrassing." I said.
"Maybe if you tell me about it, it might make you feel better. In fact, I think I already know what it is your dreaming about." Alice said.
I laughed when she said this.
"I highly doubt that you know what I was dreaming about."
Alice smiled at this and said, "I bet you I know."
"Oh yeah? Go ahead and try to guess." I smiled back at her, thinking she would never figure it out.
"You were having a sex dream…about you and me." Alice said calmly.
My smiled faded immediately.
She knows! How can she know?
"Crap" I said out loud.
A/N: An abrupt end to the chapter, but it was meant to be that way. I've figured out how I want this story; to go to a point. I'm already working on the 3rd chapter, and hopefully can get that posted in less than a week. I'm not rushing this fic though, I think it's best that way. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
