Edward POV

As I approached my car, I noticed two things: Alice had kicked Emmett out of his normal place in the passenger seat, and that Alice was hiding her thoughts.

…Uno,dos,tres,cuatro,sinco…

As if she actually needed to recite Spanish numbers. As I started driving, Alice's thoughts of Bah Bah Black Sheep got on my nerves.

"Tell me what you are hiding from me, Alice" I demanded. She giggled, but allowed me into her thoughts.

Bella stumbled out of biology. She turned away, but Alice tapped her on the shoulder.

"Edward likes you, Bella, believe me." Alice told her when she turned around. Bella's eyes flashed from surprise to disbelief before she walked away.

"Why would you do that Alice?" I growled, ignoring Jasper when he growled at me.

Alice thrust me into a vision.

I was driving, but only at 80 miles an hour, slow. Bella was sitting next to me, her eyes had a sorrowful longing in them. She was wearing blue jeans, a blue blouse, and my tan jacket.

"It doesn't matter to me what you are." She said. She reached her hand over and placed it on mine. It was so warm. She didn't look afraid, but her heartbeats came slightly more quickly now.

"I'm glad," I responded.

By now the car was in our garage, and Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie had left to give Alice and me some space.

Her words came out in a whisper, "All you have to do is love her back."

"And then what?" I growled.

"Thank you, Edward," Bella said.

She was looking in a mirror; I stood behind her, smiling. There was no heartbeat present in the room, only the sound was us breathing. Her skin was even paler than it had been today. Her eyes were a deep red.

"I love you," she said. Then she turned around and kissed me on the lips.

I kissed her back, our lips unyielding against each other's. Her arms locked around my neck, pulling me closer. I slid me hand to the small of her back, her skin was no longer warm. I pulled her closer for a few seconds before reaching up to her face. I caressed her cheek before pushing her face away just a fraction.

"I love you too, Bella."

I turned over at Alice. She looked ready to either hug me or run; the two futures she saw that depended on my decision. I pinched my nose between my thumb and forefinger.

"Alice… Why…" I frowned, unsure of how to state my question. "What the hell did you just see and why?"
