Chapter 3 – Moving In
Having enjoyed the morning and afternoon at their waterfall, Alice was now running back to Bella's with Bella happily holding on to her and gazing lovingly at her face. Alice would smile down at her every now and again as she ran towards her house.
Bella knew she had to ask Charlie if she could move in with Alice. She also knew he would say yes. Having a future seeing girlfriend really was very helpful.
The question now was how to phrase the question without seeming like she was obnoxious. She somehow thought "Charlie, I'm moving in with Alice" was a bad way of putting it.
Deciding to wing it she smiled at her girlfriend as Alice finally put her down outside her back door and leaned up to kiss her.
"Come on. Let's go ask your dad." Alice sung.
She was bouncing around and looked positively overjoyed at what was about to happen, making Bella laugh at her.
"Alice. I think you need to calm down a little." She giggled.
Alice looked thoughtful for a moment.
"Okay. I'm going to pack your things while you talk to Charlie. That way we can leave when you're done!" she finally said.
Bella just smiled lovingly and nodded.
"If that's what you want. I won't take long." Bella replied.
Alice kissed her one last time and was gone. Bella walked into the house, still smiling, and found Charlie watching the TV.
"Hey dad." She said, sitting down.
"Hey Bells. Where's Alice?" Charlie asked.
"My room. Charlie, Alice asked me to move in with her." she replied.
Charlie turned to regard her seriously.
"Is that what you want?" he asked.
Bella nodded.
"Yes. I love her. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I think moving in is a good idea but I'd like your opinion and permission to do so first." She explained.
[Cant hurt to make him feel important.] Bella thought in amusement.
Charlie regarded the TV for a long while. Bella was beginning to fret when he finally answered.
"If you love her then go for it. True love is rare Bells. I know how different you are with Alice. You're free. I just want you to be happy. You gotta promise to visit me though. And to stay away from her jerk brother." Charlie growled the last part.
Laughing, Bella nodded.
"Okay Charlie. It's only going to be Alice and me anyway so I'm sure we can manage to visit. And we'll keep up our school work." Bella added as an afterthought.
Charlie grinned and nodded.
"As long as you don't get into trouble I'm fine with it. When do you leave?" he asked.
"Now?" Bella answered softly.
Charlie laughed, his voice booming.
"Your more like your mother than you will ever know. Just visit me Bells and I'll be happy." He said, shaking his head with a smile.
"Thanks dad. I love you." Bella answered, ginning.
She was glad things had worked out the way they had. A confrontation would have sucked.
Running up the stairs she found her room already packed and Alice waiting
"I left most of your wardrobe since I'm going to buy you a new one. Are you ready to go?" Alice asked, bouncing on the spot.
Bella shook her head, ginning at her girlfriend.
"More than you know. Come on." She laughed.
Taking the boxes downstairs Bella followed Alice out to her car, a yellow porch, and realized she must have got it during the night.
"Nice car." She said, still in awe at the sight of it.
"Thanks. She's my second love." Alice giggled.
Bella grinned.
"Oh yeah? Who's you first?" she inquired as innocently as she could.
Alice walked up to her and leaned in close.
"You." She breathed against Bella's lips before kissing her.
They packed the car within minutes since Bella didn't have much and said their goodbyes to Charlie.
Climbing in the car, Bella smiled and watched Alice as she drove off towards the Cullen residence at 200km/h.
Things were finally looking up.
Authors Note: Hey. Sorry this took so long but I'm having trouble writing it since I want it to be as original as possible, hence why the characters are OOC. I know Charlie's reaction is way not normal as a father but I wanted him to be more understanding and from my opinion, what Bella's doing is the same as what her mom would do. Whirlwind romance and running away together type of stuff so in my opinion, Charlie's seeing Bella's mom in Bella's actions and is happy that Bella's being free and happy. Plus I want him to have a role in Bella's future, even as a vampire. Just not sure how yet. Anyway. Hopefully I'll get back into a flow and update this more regularly now. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Review please, it makes me happy!
