(2) Sneaky

"Now I'm being ridiculous," I hissed and moved towards the front door. I was mad, no not mad but furious at Edward.

He remained on the bed and glanced up at me. He ran his hand through his beautiful bronzed hair and moved the tresses seamlessly.

I folded my arms and looked out the window. I was wondering why it never occurred to me before that he thought I was boring. Surely, he didn't want a girlfriend who partied all night and drank excessively. I stared at him. No, he did not. But what could I offer Edward that he didn't already have or could acquire with the mountain of money he had.

"Are you okay?" He asked and walked towards me. He moved with caution and put one hand on my shoulder.

I swallowed my anger as a new plan formulated in my brain. I was praising heaven that he couldn't read my mind. I needed an accomplice and had the perfect candidate, it was her fault after all. I smiled sweetly and hugged Edward.

He relaxed and he firmly wrapped his arms around me. "I love you," he whispered, and stroked my back.

"I love you too," I said and put my arm around his waist. Edward opened the door and we walked into the hallway.

"Jasper, it's time," he said and went into the living room. I stood beside him and watched him gather his belongings. He took his cell phone and put it in his pocket. He grabbed a jacket for himself and needlessly put it on. "I don't want to appear inconspicuous."

"Of course not," I said as Alice and Jasper entered the living room. Alice stood three paces behind Jasper and had a frown on her face.

I glanced at her while Edward stiffened. "Alice, we will talk when I return." He said and moved to the door. Jasper stared at Alice but Alice just smiled and nodded. They clutched hands and Jasper stood beside Edward.

"Be safe," I said and saw Jasper snort. Edward looked at me and gave me a heartbreaking smile. "Always," he said and kissed my lips.

They both left and I saw them running through the forest. Now, in order for my plan to work I had to fool Alice until Edward was too far away to do anything.

I turned to Alice and smiled. She smiled back and gave me a questioning look.

"How mad is he?" She said. "On a scale of anger how mad is he?"

"Eight, but he's also mad because he's hungry so probably a six." I said and implemented my plan. "You know Alice I was wondering how to apply mascara. I mean, I think Edward might like me to be a little more girly, don't you."

"Definitely, I can do a makeover." She clapped her hands. "Starting with your hair." She gave me a disapproving look. I laughed and she grabbed my hand. "Let's get started."

She dragged me to her gigantic bathroom with every beauty product imaginable. I saw many items I would not have the first clue what to do with. She sat me at the vanity and began to brush my hair.

"So, did Edward mention to you what he was particularly mad about?" She said and plugged in her curling iron.

"I told him about our conversation." I said without bothering to lie to her. What's the use? She would find out soon enough.

"Hmm," she grabbed a clip and sectioned my hair. I saw my hair wind around the barrel. She made lustrous waves out of my mousy hair. I was amazed.

"Wow, this looks great." I cringed inside because I was dying to run my fingers through the waves.

"Yes, with extra time in the morning you could achieve this look all the time." She grinned and began to apply the makeup.

Alice choose a beautiful top and paired it with my favorite jeans. I stared at the outfit and smiled. It was perfect. I would need to look different.

"What about you Alice?" I stared at her perfect hair and face.

"What?"

"You're going to need an outfit too."

"Why?"

"Because I think we should go out. I mean nothing weird just a girls night out." I said and stared at her shocked expression.

"Really," she squealed. She clapped excitedly and went to her closet. She pulled a sequined top. I shook my head. She grabbed a halter-top with lace at the bottom. I smiled and gave a thumbs up.

We both looked at our reflections in the mirror. It was amazing. We looked beautiful. I saw a different girl staring back at me. I kinda liked it.

"So are we going to Seattle or staying near Forks?" She went with me into the garage. I saw Edwards Volvo gleaming under the lights of the garage.

"Umm, Seattle." I said and walked to the car.

Alice grabbed the keys to the Volvo.

"Alice, maybe we could take your car." I said and saw her reaction.

"But you never want to drive the Porsche. You like Edward's car." God, I was predictable.

"Tonight I want to take your car."

"Okay."

She opened the door and we slid into the luxurious seats. The car smelled unbelievable and the leather shined. I ran my hands over the smooth dashboard.

"Ready." I said and buckled my belt.

Alice roared the car to life. It was quiet like a cat. But powerful and the engine purred. She opened the garage door automatically and directed the car to the dirt road. Her headlights were on and the ground illuminated under the glare.

She drove to the edge of town by the Forks sign. We were waiting at a red light.

"Alice, I was thinking maybe we should go to another place. I mean I so rarely leave when Edwards not here. We can have a mini adventure. Just you and me."

"Where do you want to go?" She said and smiled expectantly.
