I love Alice. She is my (soon to be) sister and already my best friend. I love her quirks and her energy. But it's times like this that make me want to strangle that adorable pixie neck of hers.
We were back at the library for the third time this week. It has been a sanctuary for me lately. What with all this wedding planning going on, I've barely had any time to myself.
But my angel always come through for me. It's strange how when you love someone so much, that your life molds into theirs and you don't even realize it. You just slowly become attuned to their actions and thoughts. Well, apparently Edward has the same sixth sense…well, other than the whole reading minds thing…he sensed my stress and felt the need to cure it. So here I am again, at the most wonderful place in the world. The library.
My thoughts were interrupted when Alice suddenly appeared next to me, bouncing up and down.
"Alice, calm down. In case you haven't noticed…this is a library. Say it with me: LI-BRAR-Y." she rolled her eyes and sat down next to me.
"I know what a library is, I just don't know why you would come here…It is SOOO boring!" I laughed. I knew this was coming. I knew she wouldn't be able to handle this.
When we left she jumped in the car and begged to come with us. I carefully explained to her that the library was a quiet, calm, place to read and learn, and that it must be taken very seriously. She laughed and made some joke about "sacred grounds" but eventually agreed. And now look where we are…
"Alice…" I sighed. "We went over this. I am not here to entertain you, that is the books job." She sighed in turn.
"But Bel-la!I can't stand it1 It's so quiet! And the librarians are dressed horribly!" She started to raise her voice towards the end, earning a hearty "SHH!" from somewhere behind us.
"Alice, that's not my problem. I warned you that you wouldn't want to come. Go find some magazines or something." She pouted and started walking off. I paused and asked,
"Where is Edward by the way?"
"Adult Fiction, aisle four, Nathaniel Hawthorne, or H-A-W-T-H-O-R as the library has it catalogued."
"Alice, you have way too much time on your hands!" I teased. She smiled and skipped off down the aisle.
I found Edward sitting on the floor exactly where Alice said he would be, reading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. He was in deep concentration and had his face pulled up right next to the book with a god like look of concentration on his face.
I don't know what I did to be this lucky. To be able to see the light strike his features as he concentrates. To be able to know his scent, To feel his ice cold skin that somehow makes me warm…
He inhaled and snapped his head up to meet my eyes. It must have been my blood he smelled. I blushed and looked down. Suddenly I felt his hand under my chin, lifting my face up to meet his.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked sweetly.
"How lucky I am…" I trailed off and blushed again. Seeing this he chuckled and leaned in.
"YES!!" somewhere in the distance Alice yelled.
"Ah…my sister. Great at ruining a moment!' I laughed and took his hand as he led me toward Alice.
We found Alice sitting Indian style on the floor surrounded by fashion magazines, her nose buried in the pages of Vogue. Edward laughed and sat down next to her. He smiled while asking, "finally found something?!" Alice's eyes widened and she nodded reverently.
'They've got fashion magazines from like, THREE years ago…isn't that WILD!?" I laughed at her enthusiasm.
"Well at least maybe now we'll have some time to ourselves?" Edward was up in a second, his hand in mine.
"I like that idea" He smiled that beautiful smile of his and led me off.
