Author's Note: I suck. I should've made this into a one-shot and finished it on the 'actual; Valentine's Day, but now I missed my chance! Oh well, Edward and Bella deserves plenty of romance- don't they? Hope you enjoy.
Summary: Bella gets kidnapped by Alice. Again. But why does the kidnapper leave her completely alone in the Cullens' mansion? EdwardxBella Valentine's Inspired.
Happy to be the Victim
We finally arrived at the curve of the parking space. I searched everywhere for a familiar silver Volvo but I found no trace of it. Even Rosalie's red BMW was missing. Nobody seemed to be home and I felt like it was safe to panic now. But boy, was I wrong.
As soon as I got off my truck, Alice kept my keys in her pocket knowing that I'd try to steal them from her and drive back to my own home, she took my hand and led me to the door. I was always and probably always will- be scared of this house. Just the presence of the immense mansion kept me insecure. She opened the door and waited till I got in first. I heard the door close behind me as Alice's heels gently tapped on the floor. I looked back at her as if to ask, What now? But she gave me a threatening look.
"Do not move. Not even a finger. I'll be back."
Her voice was promising- as if she'd break my finger if I actually attempted to move it. I saw her check her watch in the corner of my eye as I nodded slowly, wondering if nodding was allowed. Then she disappeared.
I remembered when I called Edward a show off for running so fast but Alice felt like a no competition. In a blink of a second she was back, but with a cloth like object in her right hand. It was a charcoal grey and it hung loosely against her lean fingers.
"Here," I saw Alice hand me the same object. "Happy Valentine's Bella."
The threatening look was absolutely gone. Instead, Alice had a beautiful smile on her face, thin perfect lips that tightened to pull out the mesmerizing smile. Her right arm was still out and I just stood, appalled.
"Aren't you going to accept it? Take it at least?" Then I managed to pull out my hands to grasp the soft fabric.
"Then maybe pretend you like it?" I heard Alice murmur once more. I found myself taking the fabric and opening it to see a better view of it and there it was in my two hands. A stunning grey dress with lacey long sleeves and bottoms, cut enough to show my collarbones but not my cleavage, fit enough to show my waistline not my fat- short enough to show my knees.
Bad. Very bad.
My knees. Isabella Swan does not show her legs, knees, in public.
"Look. You're going to look gorgeous with it. You have to go change. NOW."
It's your brother who can read mind, not you- right?
For a second I got confused. But anyways, I stared at it again with Alice's reassurance.
"Thank you Alice. It's a beautiful dress, I just don't think-"
"I'm telling you Bella, you'll look great. I see it already," she winked at me and I smiled back. "Just this one time, let me do something right. Look- I don't have much time, and if you don't go change right now, I'm going to have to undress you myself." Her threatening look was back, and I realized that I was really kidnapped. Alice's stern eyes gave me a short reply and I didn't want to ask her more questions to bother her. So I followed her to the closest bathroom and went into change.
Thank god I shaved last night.
The dress did fit me nicely, and I did have to admit- I looked 'decent' in it.
As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I saw Alice just standing there with a huge bag of …make up.
I seriously think, now is the time to panic. She was smart though- fast too, as she grabbed my right arm and pulled me close to her to pull down my hair band and let my messy hair fall down. From that huge bag she dug up a brush and began to brush my hair madly. It didn't hurt, but I felt like crying for mercy.
"What the hell is going on, Alice?" I growled.
"Nothing, Bella. If I do this right- I might be able to get a new car for Valentine's so please cooperate." She snapped back while she threw the brush back in the bag. She had my hair. I was in no position to attack.
"But how does giving Bella a make over get you a new car?" I asked in a calmer tone, hoping for a actual answer this time.
"It's just dinner. You'll be fine. Oh, don't worry about spilling anything on the dress either."
"What?"
"Nothing. Now look at me."
I saw her two hands holding a ridiculously large amount of make up tools and I was sure I couldn't name any single one of them. Oh! Except one. The eye liner. Yes, I- Isabella Swan wore make up. I wonder what Charlie would say if he saw me right now. He'd laugh I bet.
But anyways, dinner? Alice did say dinner. But Edward was no where to be seen. I was in the Cullens' mansion just alone with Alice. Was there more to this kidnapping? I mean, there had to be. Alice made me force myself a sleepover when I talked to Charlie on the phone- so would I be spending the night here?
"Ouch!"
"Sorry. If you'd stop twitching maybe I wouldn't have poked your eye."
"I'm scared Alice."
"Don't be- I know this isn't the best part, but the best is for last."
She was teasing me now. Have mercy.
Sorry for the short chapter- again. But my sleepless mind is turning on and off. I don't want to kill the story so for Bella&Edward's sake, I'll continue it when I am in a better condition. Hope you enjoyed, and Read and Review!
