A/N: I know last chapter was a bit random, but I was kind of feeling random at the moment. Thanks for the reviews!
Disclaimer: I don't own twilight? Nooooooo!
"She was lying Edward! I know it!"
"Bella, stop being ridiculous. She was not lying. I should know." He tapped his forehead.
I glared at him momentarily. We were walking down the streets in Binghamton, New York, our current home. I needed to vent without being over heard by the rest of my family. I then glared at his bemused grin. "You're lying too."
"Bella, you know I wouldn't lie to you."
This made me stop in my tracks causing the people walking behind us to skid around us. "You've done it before Edward and you could do it again. You could be doing it right now!"
He laughed wrapping an arm around my waist pulling me closer. "My darling, when have I ever lied to you?"
"Oh jeez, I don't know. Let's see you got me a new car last year when you promised you wouldn't."
"But you like it, don't you?"
"But it was still a lie!" I said stubbornly because honestly I did love the car. "And you told me Alice wasn't going to through a birthday party for me when you knew she would!"
"That doesn't count."
"How 'bout that time Charlie came to England, where we were living, on vacation and you took me to Esme Island as a surprise and when I asked you why, you told me it was an anniversary present even though our anniversary wasn't until the next month."
His grin faltered. "That was for your safety," he said loosing the light airy feel in his voice he had before.
"And what if this is for my safety?"
"But that's only what? 3 times you can think of where I lied to you?"
I gasped. "You lied at the Vampire Convention. You were kissing that- I mean you were kissing Tanya. You were lying with you body!"
"But that brought us together!"
"So you admit it! If it's for my "good" or for my "safety" you lie to me!"
"Bella, you're being absurd and idiotic. I'm telling you, I'm not lying about this."
I yanked away from his hold "I'm not being absurd Edward Anthony Mason Cullen!" No, not this time I wasn't. Other times yes, this time no. I was sure of it. "Alice is lying! You are lying! Both of you know who those people are!"
"Bella, look at me." His voice was soft, but I was stubborn. He took my face in his hands and eventually I turned towards him. The overwhelming force of his golden eyes burned through me. "I am not lying to you. I don't know who those people are and neither does Alice."
In all honesty that wasn't fair. It's not like I can remember my own name much less disagree with anything he's told me when he's looking at me with those gorgeous eyes. A flaw I must admit on my part. "Okay," I nodded dazed and dazzeled. He leaned in to kiss and too soon pulled away. We continued walking hand in hand down the streets.
"You went shopping, didn't you?" demanded Alice when we came back to the house. Carlisle had called the Denali clan to warn them, but other than that there wasn't really anything we could do. "I saw stores! You were downtown! Weren't you?"
"Yes Alice," Edward replied amused. He held up the bags of clothes he had bought for me despite my protest. But I did love them.
"And you didn't take me?" she shouted nearly hysteric. I was starting to worry about Alice's sanity recently. I know it's impossible for a vampire to go officially insane, but Alice was pretty close. Jasper had finally told her that he could not handle shopping with her that after almost 100 years together that maybe they should do something together that he liked to do. Jasper likes to target shoot and he has every gun you could think of to do it. Alice agreed and ever since then (two months ago) she hasn't been shopping because Rose was busy with her cars and Emmett was not going to be dragged to a mall. Carlisle has to work and Esme has to decorate. Edward swore he had to practice piano and I wouldn't go shopping with Alice alone. Oh, and Carlisle cut of her credit and debit cards because people were getting suspicious. That left Alice target shooting.
That left Alice on the edge of insanity.
"It's not like you could've gotten anything," I told her gently hoping she would see this was for her own good.
"But I could've looked!" She cried. "Buttons and colors and zippers! Zippers! Bright pretty colors! And sparkles! And zippers!"
Edward stiffened next to me trying to hold in his laughter. "Alice... maybe you should go see some one. Like a therapist." I told her softly.
"I DON'T NEED ANY HELP!!"
Edward couldn't take it any more, he burst out laughing. Alice sent him that same cold glare she had this afternoon, which reminded me of what Edward had made me forget. "You know who those people are Edward and I am going to find out," I hissed in his ear so Alice couldn't hear. He stood perfectly still after that.
"I. Don't. Know. Who. Those. People. Are."
"Yes you do, Mr. Cullen, and what I want to know is why you're lying to me."
"Mrs. Cullen, I assure you, I am not lying," It started out in a playful tone, but ended harshly.
"You sure about that?" I asked lowly so Alice still could not hear us although as she was lost in her thoughts of zippers and sparkles I don't think she would've noticed anyway.
"Positive."
"What would you be willing to bet?" I asked.
He looked a bit shocked. "Anything."
"Anything?" I asked.
"I'm not lying."
"Anything?" I repeated.
"Anything," he answered without skipping a beat.
"Remember you said that," I said whispering into his ear so my lips brushed against his skin.
