I went against all better judgment, taking a shower shortly after I started the pot of coffee that Charlie and I religiously shared most mornings. With just enough time to spare I was able to make my bed with the freshly laundered sheets.

Spending my lunch in the library, I managed to only spot Alice briefly in passing. Ever since these dreams started, my focus to finish assignments wash heavily affected, therefore my lunchtime was usually sacrificed for the sake of my grades. I stayed up late to finish work only to be distracted by thoughts of another Cullen.

"I thought I'd find you here." Alice said, whispering into my ear. She slide gracefully into the chair beside me and with a natural ease she rested one hand on my thigh as she pulled my work in front of her. "Ahhhh, Human Geography." she said with a slightly sarcastic edge in her voice. I'm sure that human geography had nothing on vampire geography. "I had Ms. Parker when I took it last year. Although the subject is a slight bore, she makes it truly interesting." Alice added earnestly.

"Are you sure we had the same teacher?" I asked her skeptically. The Ms. Parker I had was an overly excited middle aged woman with long hair and a bushy ponytail that erased a couple of important terms every time she turned to the class from the board.

"Come to think of it, maybe not. But that's besides the point. You, however, make human geography extremely interesting. Or maybe that's anatomy." Alice added. She laughed lightly and I found it extremely hard not to push my lips on hers, right there in the middle of the library.

I don't know if she had a vision and saw the outcome or simply was just acting out the natural progression of things but our lips met. I dropped the pencil I was holding loosely in between my fingers only to rest them on the side of her cold, smooth face. If this were a daydream, the next move I would make would include pushing all the books off of the table and kissing her then and there with no abandon on top of a mess of strewn papers…

A loud cough from a disapproving librarian interrupted us. Alice turned to look at her just as wide eyed and innocent as can be which nearly sent me into hysterics. Although she pulled away from me, her hand still rested on my thigh.

"Why don't you give this geography mess a rest for a while…I can help you with it later on, perhaps?" she asked. My mind bounced around to all the possibilities. I could stay in the library for the remaining twelve minutes left in my lunch period and finish out the school day, do whatever it is that Alice has in mind, or offer up the idea of ditching the rest of the day to go back home. Alice closed her eyes and a small self satisfied smile crept onto her face. I began to pack up my papers, the librarian watching my every move.

"Come back to my place? Charlie's not due in until late afternoon…" I whispered.

"I knew you were going to ask that. I would love to." Alice said. I laughed. She grabbed my hand as we walked out of the library and through the hallway to the student lot. "It's only a deal if I drive, though."

All the way to my house my mind jumped from play to play of what could happen, not that I had that long to process with Alice driving. Was this supposed to be a repeat of this morning? Am I going to realize that I'm way over my head? Does she just want to help me study human geography? What do I do with -

"Let's go upstairs…it'll buy us more time if Charlie comes in." I blurted out. Sometimes I'm quite positive that the tiny reactor in my brain that is supposed to refine things that I want to say as I am thinking them fails.

In my anxiety of this new form of sensory overload I didn't see Alice whiz past me, beating me to my bedroom. She giggled at me as I placed my bag onto my desk.

"Have you ever seen this show?" she asked, holding up green box set entitled Weeds.

I shook my head no. So, this wasn't supposed to be a repeat of this morning, I'm not way in over my head, and she doesn't just want to help me study for Ms. Parker's class. Maybe she realized my apprehension. Or something. Whatever her motives were behind pulling out the dvds I was eternally grateful.

"If you give me just one second, we can just watch it in here." she said. Sitting cross legged on my bed she typed a few words into her sleek Mac which made it silently shutter to life. It was only logical that ohmygodwhatdoIdo popped into my head once more. Was I supposed to sit next to her, or lay down? Was leaving still an option even though this was my own house? I stiffly climbed up into my bed and lay my head down on the pillow, facing towards the center of the bed.

Once the main menu popped up for the dvd, and Alice selected the first episode for us to watch. As the pilot episode started, her head fell back onto the pillow, her face inches away from mine. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that she could feel my heartbeat reverberating through the bed.

"Hey Alice," I whispered, as the theme song started. Without moving, her eyes shifted from the laptop screen to mine. I can't quite explain it, but as my lips touched hers for a succession of small kisses my heartbeat steadied. I leaned in closer to her, our heads almost touching. All my anxieties were gone by the time the music stopped.

Hey there! In all honesty, I don't think I was planning on making this more that a one shot. But all these reviews were hard to ignore. I'm definitely taking suggestions of things you want to read next! Reviews are fantastic : )
