A Leaf In a Storm

Chapter 3

"Not going to throw another fit?" She asked winking before she took off.

Me throw a fit while my arms are around your neck and your holding my thighs around your waist? Yeah right. I can't even breath right, how am I supposed to throw a fit?

When we reached her house, she set me down gently and Edward came out.

"Your dad just called. He is staying out at Billy's, fishing tonight."

"Of course." I said rolling my eyes.

He looked between Alice and I then pursed his lips.

"Alice, would you mind taking Bella home?" She nodded and said she would go get the car.

When she was out of sight, I hit Edward. Which hurt, badly.

"What are you thinking?" I asked annoyed.

"I'm thinking you were afriad that she wouldn't catch you when you fell. Well guess what dear? When you went to fall off that boulder, who caught you?" He replied back.

He was right... She had caught me, but that was also a totally different situation. He went to say something else but was cut off as Alice drove up next to us.

"Let me just go in and say bye to everyone and I'll be out." I said.

After I had said my goodbyes, I walked back outside. Alice had her head leaned back on the seat and her nose wrinkled in disgust from the wolves. She looked so cute. I got into the car and just stared at her.

"What?" She aked.

"Your cute." Oh no, did I just say that out loud. Judging by the fact that she just flashed me that breathtaking smile that I've been wanting to see, I'd say so. I blushed deeply and looked out the window.

"Well, I prefer stuff along the lines of drop dead gorgeous, but I guess cute works just fine." She murmered. She giggled and I did along with her.

"Are you ready to go?" She asked. After nodding my head, she reached over to put my seatbelt on. In the process, her hand brushed across my breast and my breath hitched. She stopped moving and looked into my eyes. She smirked clearly realizing the affect she had on me. I glared at her, which only made that adorable smirk grow.

"Just kiss her already!" Emmett yelled. I looked back in his direction to see that the whole family was watching us from their big ass front window. Most of them all had amused looks on their faces. The others had smiles. I blushed even deeper it thats possible and mumbled something incoherent. Alice laughed that amazing windchime laughter and I couldn't help but smile. Without another word, we drove off.

Holy, shit. Alice drove fast. Way faster than Edward. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Alice drove a porshe and Edward drove a vovlo. Whatever the difference, I liked. Normally I would be scared, but I just felt so comfortable with Alice. Thats crazy right? I just met this girl today and already, I'm comfortable with her and have a super mad crush on her. She makes it so incredibly hard not to like her though. With those cute dimples, and the way her nose scrunches up, the way she skips because she's so chipper, the way she-.

"What are you thinking about?" Alice asked.

I took in our surroundings and we were already at my house. I wonder how long we've been here.

"Not long." She murmered before I even got the chance to ask her.

"Don't change the subject." She said smiling.

Should I tell her what I was thinking about? No.

"You." Way to go brain. I swear you don't function correctly.

She giggled. "Am I allowed to know about what?"

I thought for a moment. "Nope." I said smirking.

She pouted and my god. It was so fucking adorable. I about threw my arms around her and kissed her, but that would make things awkward. I had to do something to get that pout to go away though.

"Uhm.. Want to come in?" I asked trying not to sound so desperate.

As expected, the pout vanished and she smiled. "I'd love to."

She was then offering me her hand to get out of the car. I looked at it for a minute, then decided I'd mess with her. I acted like I was going to grab her hand, but instead ran my own hand through my hair. She looked at me shocked and then smirked. Why is she smirking? It doesn't matter. I got out of the car and walked to my front door, Alice following behind. As I was messing with the door, Alice put one of her hands on my waist and the other on my hand to help me unlock the door. I tensed up from her touch and felt the tingles spread through out my body. She then leaned in to where I could feel her cool breath tickling my ear.

"You should have just taken my hand earlier." She laughed and opened the door for me. Thats why she was smirking!

Damn. She was good.

"I want to see your room." She murmered looking around my living room.

"Okay." I said. I still hadn't fully recovered from her being a meanie head. Yes stooping to name calling was low.

I headed upstairs leading her to my room. On the way, I showed her Charlies room, the bathroom, then we finally got to my room.

I stopped abruptly and Alice nearly ran into me.

"What is it?" She asked instantly sounding concerned. I smiled at her concern.

"My room is a mess." She laughed. Ahhh. I love her laugh!

"Really Bella? Don't do that. I thought something was wrong."

"There is something wrong. My room is a mess."

She sighed and started to walk into my room, but I stood in front of her.

"Move." She ordered seriously but her eyes had a playful hint in them.

"No ma'am." I said back. "Go downstairs until I clean my room."

She narrowed her eyes. "Fine." I smiled smugly as she huffed and stomped down the stairs.

I walked into my room, and to my surprise it wasn't as bad as I expected. After picking up the trash and throwing my clothes in the hamper, I went to my door to yell for Alice.

"Alice, you can come up now." I said. There was no point in screaming, she could hear me if I whispered it. After a few seconds, she still didn't show up.

"Alice?" I questioned getting worried.

She didn't leave did she? I walked down the hallway and looked in Charlies room and the bathroom, no Alice.

I cautiously walked down the stairs to the living room. No Alice. I was beginning to get real worried. I walked into the kitchen, and still nothing. I began panicking and was fixing to call Edward when I felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to jump.

"Boo." Alice's voice whispered, then she started laughing.

"That wasn't funny! You scared me!" I yelled. She realized that it had actually scared me and she immediately quit laughing and walked up to me. She took my hands in her own and forced me to look into her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Bella. I didn't mean to really scare you, I swear. Forgive me?" She asked full of sincerity.

I sighed. "Its impossible not to forgive you Alice."

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips and I intertwined one of our hands together and it just felt so right.

"Come on, you can see my room now."

"About time. You took forever!" She whined.

"Well excuse me, but not all of us have super vampire speed!" I laughed.

When we reached my room, she let go of my hand and started examing everything in it. It surprised me that she could be so fasinated with the simplest things. Alice Cullen is definately different than anyone I've ever met, but a very good kind of different. I made up my mind as I was leaning agaisnt my doorway that I wasn't going to block Alice out. Whatever happens with us, happens.

Leave your thoughts! Hopefully we can reach 20 on reviews? I'm aiming for at least five reviews for each chapter. More would be greatly appreciated though. Sorry that it isn't as long as the other chapters. I wanted to give you something today because I probably won't be able too for a few days.

Disclaimer: Nerine is mine, nothing else.

Speaking of Nerine, you will find out her story and power soon, I'm hoping. I haven't quite decided yet.
