Shopping with Alice and Rose
It was Saturday and the week just flew by, it was really fun getting to know the Cullen's and Hales. Emmett was like my big brother, Rose had become a friend, Alice was my sister, Jasper my big brother and Edward was just …I didn't know what Edward was as this very moment he was more than a friend but less than a lover. I wasn't in love with Edward, but I could see myself falling and that scared me the most. I couldn't return the feeling of love to anyone because I thought it was a lie and in the end I was only going to get hurt.
I sat in the kitchen waiting for Alice and Rose to come and pick me up.
"Hey Bells what are you doing today?" dad asked.
"Alice and Rose are taking me shopping" I said taking a sip from my glass of milk.
"Is that doctor Cullen's girl?"
"Yeah hype bundle of love" I laughed.
"Dr. Cullen is a good man say hello to him for me when you see him" Charlie smiled and went into the living room to watch the football game.
"Sure dad" a horn honked out side "See you later"
"Bye have fun"
I grabbed my over night bag and checked my hair in the mirror before leaving. I spent the whole morning straightening my hair and putting on a little bit of make up before Alice and Rose came.
I jumped in the back of Rose's BMW.
"Hey" I said.
"Hi Bella you look nice" Rose said.
I looked down at my electric blue skinny jeans and my white top with a panda on it. I guess I looked okay but I wasn't anything special when it came to Alice and Rose. They were both so beautiful and had a pale complexion; they both had a unique style and were so pretty. I was a piece of gum in the floor they stepped in.
"Bella don't look like that you look really cute" Alice reassured me.
"Thanks" I smiled at her.
Alice talked about the items that she was going to buy and how great some of them they would look on me. I just let the car seat consume me and settled into another book. Rose and Alice sprayed the air with delicious perfume.
"Really Bella" Alice giggled.
"What?" I asked totally confused.
"I was telling Alice about how you were staring at Edward all this week" Rose giggled at the end.
"I was not" I lied and blushed.
"Sure you weren't" Alice said unconvinced.
I rolled my eyes. I can't believe I got caught out so many times by Rose, did Edward notice how much I was staring at him? He might now think I am a freak that can't help but stare at his awesome body and amazing lips. What is wrong with me? I have to avoid him, I cant fall in love then turn out to be my father in a couple of years when he moves on to something shiny. I couldn't fall into that trap, not at this moment.
We finally reached the shopping mall in Seattle. We walked around the mall for a bit until Alice spotted a shop that she wanted to go in. The shop was filled with beautiful designer dresses, the colour ranged and everything was in order making me want to pick up everything.
I walked over to the selection of beautiful blue dresses.
"See anything you like?" Rose asked.
"Yes, but why are we in here?" I asked.
"Alice wants us to get prepared for prom" Rose answered.
"Proms ages away" I said.
"Not in Alice's eyes" Rose laughed.
I picked up a beautiful blue dress with bits of purple in it, I absolutely loved the dress. The neckline had crystals all the way down the neckline. Even thought the dress might so way to much cleavage I still loved it.
"Wow Bella" Alice said.
"I know I just love it" I sighed I could imagine myself wearing it to prom in the next two months.
"Bella you have to get it" Rose gushed. I looked at the price tag to see the price. My eyes widened and I put the dress back on the rack.
"I can't afford it" I frowned.
"Let me pay for it" Alice offered.
"No I can't"
"Well you can't stop me" Alice grabbed the dress off the rack and ran to the till, I started to run after her but Rose grabbed my arms to stop me from going any where. Alice skipped back with a bag in his hands, I glared at her and Rose.
"I hate you" I sneered at them.
"Love you too" Alice and Rose replied in unison.
We went to some other stores; I stopped outside when I saw the stores name.
"No way in hell" I shouted.
"Please Bella it's the last stop" Alice begged. I gave in a went into hell. Victoria's secret was my definition of hell and Rose was now pushing me through the door. I sighed and drifted off toward the pyjamas section picking up a basket as I went by. I need some new pyjamas other than my jogging bottoms. I choose all different ones some with ducks, flowers and hearts on them.
Felt something heavy being dumped into my basket. I looked into the basket to see loads of lacy lingerie in my basket. I glared at the beautiful blonde who had an innocent look on her face.
"No way" I said stepping away from the basket.
"Please" Rose begged pulling me a puppy dog look.
"Fine" I sighed.
I blushed as they rung up my bill. I hated the fact that someone was seeing something that I was going to wear under my clothes. I grabbed all the rest of my bags and rushed out of the shop. Alice and Rose laughed at me before pulling me to the parking lot.
"Have I mentioned how much I hate you?" I asked.
"Yes" they answered.
Rose tried to stuff all are bags into the boot of her car but they just wouldn't fit.
I rolled my eyes and decide to call Edward so he could come and get are bags.
"Hello" Edward answered.
"Hi" I said.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Can you pick me up? Are bags wont fit in Rose's car so she put them in the back seat and I can't fit in the car" I said.
"Typical" he laughed "I'll be a second"
We waited a bit for Edward to come, my feet was starting to really hurt me.
Finally Edward came, I said goodbye to the girls and hopped into Edward's car.
"Hey thanks a lot" I sighed.
"Your welcome but your going to have to make it up to me" he smirked. I could make it up to him in a thousand ways. I looked down at his lips and smiled.
I sunk down in the car and let Debussy wash over me. The music numbed me and reminded me of my mother. A silent tear rolled down my cheek.
"Bella are you alright?" he asked.
I nodded if I answered I might break down. He pulled over the car on to the side walk. Edward lifted me so I was sitting on his lap; he wiped the tears away from my face.
"Bella" he sighed nuzzling his face into my hair and inhaling deeply.
"I'm fine" I lied.
"You're a terrible liar" he laughed.
"Its just Debussy reminds me of my mother, I really miss her and wish I could see her more but I feel guilty for leaving my father on his own if I do" I cried.
"Bella I am so sorry" Edward breathed washing his breath all over me.
We sat and I cried for an hour until my tears just couldn't flow anymore.
Edward kissed my cheek causing my blood to run to my cheeks.
"You're amazing" I said to Edward.
"Not as amazing as you" he smiled at me before heading towards his house.
My eyes literally bugged out of their sockets. Their house was beautiful and reassembled new and old. New big glass windows letting all the light in to the house and old Victorian style.
"Your house is so beautiful" I said.
"Thank you mum designed part of it" he smiled.
He took my hand and led me up the porch steps and into the house.
"Edward" a beautiful women's voice called.
"Hi mum" he said and kissed her cheek.
"Oh my who is this beautiful girl standing next to you?" she asked
I blushed.
"This is Bella" Edward introduced me.
"Oh you're the famous Bella everyone is talking about. You have my Eddie here totally whipped" she gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Hi Mrs. Cullen" I said.
"Please call me Esme" she smiled she reminded me of snow white. Edward's green eyes, pale skin and bronze hair. She was amazing.
"Esme" I tested it out.
"I think everyone's in the living room" she looked down at our hands interlocked and smiled.
I looked up at Edward and he gave me a reassuring smile. We walked into the living and I was pounced on by Alice.
"What took you so long?" she asked.
"Edward and I made a quick stop" I said getting up from the floor.
"What takes an hour long?" Rose asked.
"I can think of something" Emmett boomed.
I frowned at him and Rose slapped his head.
"I didn't sleep with your brother" I said taking a seat next to Edward.
"I think he is disappointed by that" Emmett laughed.
"Very funny Em" Edward said giving him a sour look.
Jasper took Alice off of me and helped me off the ground. I gave Alice a sour look and sat next to Edward on the carpet. Rose and Emmett sat on the sofa behind us and Alice and Jasper sat on a chair close by. We sat and watch old gossip girl reruns.
Edward some how moved closer to me while we were watching TV. There was a quite hum of electricity running between us. My hands moved sub-consciously towards him and the next thing I knew I was holding his hand. My heart spluttered out of control, I think its time to pay a visit to . What was going on?
My heart has never acted this way when any other boy touched me, co why when it was Edward my heart decide to run out of control and embarrass me.
Edward looked down at me "are you okay?" he mouthed.
He must have been referring about my freak heart beat.
"Fine" I lied. I should really stop lying because Edward could see right through it.
We sat watching gossip girl for a while and Edward had found a way to distract me and him by playing with my hair. He twisted each lock around his fingers and deeply inhaled the scent. His fingers worked magic by massaging my scalp and sending me into a dream like state.
Edward's nose rubbed against my ear and I could hear every breath he took perfectly clear, sometimes his teeth would just skim over the edge of my ear and it would send me into a frenzy.
"Edward" I whimpered softly.
"Isabella" He moaned.
"Bored" Emmett boomed making me and Edward jump out of our skin. Edward removed all his fingers from my scalp and pulled away from me.
"What do you want to do Emmie bear?" Rose asked curling into his side even more than she already was. He brushed his fingers down her spine making her giggle and shiver.
"Let's play a game" he said.
"What game?" Jasper asked.
"Truth or Dare" Alice said.
Everyone agreed to the game but I wasn't to sure on playing that game.
We went through a couple of rounds and I didn't get picked on. Alice couldn't shop for a whole two week, Rose admitted that she lied and did tune everyone's car when she didn't.
"I choose…" Rose searched the circle for he next victim. The only thing chanting in my head was please not me, anyone but me "Bella"
Rose smiled smugly and Alice smirked.
"Truth" I gulped the sweat beads gathering up on my forehead.
"Do you love Edward?" Rose asked cocking her head to the side.
Oh god, how do I answer this I mean I don't want to hurt Edwards feelings by saying no, but I don't want everyone to be on my case if I say yes.
"Um…maybe" I blushed pulling my knees up so I could hide my face.
"Maybe isn't an answer" Jasper reminded me.
"You can tell us" Alice encouraged me.
"No I can't" tears just came steaming down my face. What was my problem? It was just a stupid game and it had me in tears in front of my best friends.
I got up and ran out of the living room without tripping up. I ran to the corner of the Cullen house behind the stairs where I was sure no one could ever find me.
I just sat there crying my heart out. I realised something all these tears were for one person and that person was Edward. I couldn't possibly be in love with him. All the crying made me hiccup and I was getting really tired my yawns were coming thick and fast.
"Bella" Alice called softly "there you are we are all worried sick come back into the living room"
"I think I'm just going to go to bed" I rubbed my eyes.
"Okay" she showed me to her bedroom and let me change into my pyjamas before letting me lie on her bed and fall into a beautiful slumber.
I could have sworn someone came into the room and kissed my forehead before whispering something.
Epov
Bella had just stormed out of the room tears falling down from her eyes. I wanted just to kiss all the pain away from her past, but there was something wrong and she just wouldn't tell anyone.
"what's wrong with her?" Emmett asked.
"I don't know let's go and look for her" I said and got up off of the floor.
We searched every inch of the house and I was starting to worry that maybe she left. I wanted to know why the question hurt her, did she not love me. I could understand if she loved someone like Mike or Eric, maybe they were a better man for her than me. Maybe they could love her ten times more than I could.
"She is just scared" jasper told me. Scared of what?
"She hasn't left I know she is here" Alice said then sniffed the air.
I didn't follow her to Bella's hiding place, I think I would let Alice sort her best friend before I see her.
We all sat in the living room and waited for Alice and Bella to return but I had a feeling that they weren't going to come back.
Alice came back looking kind of tired and stressed.
"She's gone to bed" she announced.
"Oh" was everyone's reply.
"Go and see her Edward" Alice sighed, I nodded at her and climbed the stairs to Alice's bedroom.
On the bed laid the angel of my dreams. She looked so peaceful and nothing could harm her. I was in way to deep and I think everyone knew. How could I not love this girl, she was everything a man could ask for. A beautiful mind and a beautiful body. She made my knees weak and at anytime I could fall to the ground and beg her to love me.
I walked over to her sleeping body and kissed her forehead, stroking her hair out of her mouth.
"I love you" I whispered into her ears.
I planted a small kiss on her lips before leaving.
Some more Bella and Edward soon. But they won't get together so quick its going to take Bella time to realise that sometimes love isn't a lie and that it is okay to fall in love. More comments please.
