Visions of Love
C3: Dates, Threats and Decisions
Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters
A/N: So, I am afraid this one is not going to be as long as my other stories, only seven chapters in this one. I'm now working on the sixth chapter, and it will be done somewhere during the next week. I knew this wasn't going to be a long story from the way I set up the first chapter, but I had hoped to be able to stretch it to at least 10 chapters. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy this one, and be on the lookout for more.
Alice's POV
As soon as I was in my room, I texted the others to go ahead and make the final preparations.
Knowing that Bella didn't like traditional dates, I settled for an evening in the woods, where I would show her another of Edward's lies, albeit a more innocent one for once.
He had told her we couldn't eat, but the truth was that we could eat human food, it just didn't do anything for us. We could taste everything we would eat, but our bodies would break it down instantly, just like with the blood that we drink.
I had already seen the outcome of tonight, and while I still wasn't sure if Bella was completely over Charlie's words, I saw that she wouldn't have any regrets afterwards. This would also mean an undoubtedly embarrassing talk with Renée when we saw her in a few days, but I could see we would be allowed to share a room.
It was also at times like this that I hated my gift. It gave me an insight about people's decisions, which made it difficult to surprise me, although I felt Bella would try anyway.
I took my time getting ready, making sure every little bit was perfect for my mate, and while I was a bit upset I didn't get to play Bella Barbie with her, like I had wanted, I knew she was in good hands with Rosalie.
By the time I got down, Bella was already there wearing the most beautiful dress I had ever seen and knowing that the old Bella wouldn't want to be caught dead in something even remotely revealing, it meant even more to me seeing her in a dress.
For myself I had chosen a cute plaid skirt and a nice light blue spaghetti string top and a leather jacket, which contrasted nice to the dark blue dress she wore.
She blushed a little as she took my hands. "You like? I must admit it feels a bit funny wearing a dress." She said softly.
"It looks amazing on you baby." I said honestly.
Her blush darkened a bit at that. "You see Bella, I told you she would love it, and I must say it makes me proud to know that I actually got you to wear it." Rose said with a smile.
"I know, I should have trusted your judgement in the first place. Thanks for letting me borrow it Rose." She said with a smile.
Rose smiled at that, something I had never seen her do more since we came back. It seemed like Bella was the only human that could melt the Ice Queen.
"Have fun you two, but don't stay out to late, you two still have school tomorrow." Esme said in her motherly voice.
"Yes Mom, we won't be back too late." Bella said with a smile before we walked outside.
I then took her in my arms, not wanting her to break her ankles on the two-mile hike to our spot, since Rose had insisted on her wearing heels.
She smiled and me and softly kissed my cheek after she had wrapped her arms around my neck.
I had to contain a growl from my inner beast to not lay her down and claim her right here. I had a feeling there would be a few surprises before our night together was true, and thankfully my visions remained dark.
When we arrived at the spot I had picked out for us, I had to let out a gasp. There little lights hung up in the trees that I didn't put there, as well as a nice campfire to keep us warm, something I had forgotten about.
She smiled when she saw the look of surprise. "I asked Esme and Tanya to supply us with a bit of mood lighting, I don't want to miss anything when it comes to you tonight." She said seductively.
"You little devil. You actually managed to surprise me on our first date." I said before kissing her softly.
"That's because I found a way around your visions my love, something I intend to use only when I want to surprise you, on nights like tonight for example."
I was honestly a bit shocked, no one had ever gotten around my visions, but to be honest I had expected nothing less from my mate.
I smiled at her and carried her to the blanket, setting her down gently on it. I then took a seat next to her and revealed the picnic basket Esme and Tanya had prepared for us. "You're not the only one with a surprise tonight baby." I said as I handed her the plate of pasta, taking the other one out for myself.
If she was surprised, she didn't show it, but I noticed her watching me intently as we took our first bite.
"I thought that vampires couldn't digest normal food." She said once I swallowed that first bite.
I smiled at that. "We can actually eat food, we even taste it, it just does nothing else for us. It gets broken down by our venom immediately."
"So, I can chalk that up next to Dickward's other lies. I knew I wasn't imagining it when I saw you eat in school. I'm actually glad you can eat, since that makes this a whole lot less awkward."
"True, every occasionally, I take something at school, depends on what they are serving though, most of the food is nasty. But what would you say about not letting Esme and Tanya's efforts go to waste. We don't want it getting cold now do we." I said with a wink.
She nodded with a blush and resumed eating, while I set the mood by placing my Ipod in the system for some music.
We ended up feeding each other bits and pieces of our food, both of us smiling happily at each other the entire time.
"I never imagined myself going on such a date with anyone, but with you I would go through every single cliché and never get bored." She said with a soft smile.
I smiled and kissed her cheek. "And the evening is still so very young Bella, there is so much more we can do tonight."
She turned to me and smiled. "And what exactly did you have in mind baby?" She asked seductively.
"Nothing in the way you're thinking of, at least not yet. Those activities are better done in our bedroom, where we won't have to worry about getting twigs and leaves on our clothes. I was thinking more along the lines of cuddling together real close while we tell each other about ourselves, because we are still young lovers that don't know much about each other, just the general things, and I would love to know everything about my young mate." I said softly.
She pouted just a little, which was by far the most adorable thing I had ever seen in my undead life. "Fine, but you need to start, since you know more about me than I know about you."
I smiled at that, figuring that would be her answer. "That's okay. I was born in 1901 as Mary Alice Brandon in Biloxi, Mississippi. Since I was young I had these powers and it was for that reason my parents had me institutionalized in 1920. I went back a few years ago to see my tombstone, and I discovered after doing some more research that they used my admission date to the institution as my date of passing. I had a sister named Cynthia, who had a daughter, who is still alive and living in Biloxi today. I don't remember much other than that, but I do know that you and I share another thing. We were both once hunted by the same psycho vampire, namely James. He actually hunted me to the asylum and was about to kill me if not for Esme, who fought him off and turned me."
"That's why you were so fond of ripping him apart. I didn't get it at the time, since I was kind of delirious from the pain." She said softly.
I smiled and kissed her cheek. "I'm glad for one thing that day. That Edward sucked out his venom. I want to be the one who brings you into our world. It is said that when someone's true mate turns you, the process is both quickened and less painful, and there is of course the reason that you are my mate, and that it is only fitting that your body will carry my venom." I said softly.
"So part of it is personal and another is deeply carnal. I can't wait to be turned by you." She said before kissing me softly.
"Yes, but I believe it is time for you to tell me about yourself. I know we already talked a lot about your family, but I never learned the things you like and dislike." I said as we repositioned ourselves, so that Bella was resting comfortably against me.
She sighed softly at that. "I guess, there are actually a lot of things I like. Things like reading and writing, math and biology and I also like to travel, although that has been ages ago." She said softly.
"That could be something we can do once you are turned, one thing we will have is time together." I said softly.
We were both silent for a while after that, both of us watching into the flames while we enjoyed being close to each other.
When the campfire had died down we decided to go back. It was getting late, and while I didn't need sleep, Bella did for the time being and we did have school tomorrow.
"Since we have been away for three months, I've arranged to be placed in all of your classes, so you won't have to face the brunt of the ignorance alone." I said as we walked back.
She smiled and rested her head on my shoulder as she linked our fingers together. "With you by my side I can handle anything those idiots can throw at me. It's not as if I haven't heard it all by now anyway, us being together is something they will talk about for a few days before Jessica's new crush is the talk of the day."
I looked at her with a bit of worry. "Do you mean to say that people talked about us when we were away?" I asked softly.
She nodded at that. "They did, mostly about Edward dumping me and how that affected me in the first month, but they learned to leave me alone soon enough." She said softly.
"What happened baby?" I asked softly.
"I may or may not have punched Jessica and Lauren K.O. when I heard them telling people how pathetic I was for being comatose from Edward's leaving, and that I was secretly hoping that you would come back." She muttered softly.
"You poor thing, did you hurt yourself?" I asked with a smile.
She smiled at that. "Not really, some bruised knuckles, but other than that I was fine. I got expelled for two weeks though, but they haven't bothered me since, so I guess that's a good thing."
"True, they deserved to be taken down a peg or two. I just hope they won't start everything over again when they see us together." I said softly, although I had seen they would.
"If they do I'd happily do it again, I have to protect my girlfriend, even if she is stronger than me." She said with a smile.
I had to smile at that. "I think it's sweet that you want to anyway, just think of it like this, it's only for another week."
She nodded and gave me a kiss just before we entered the house again.
Bella's POV
As soon as we got back the first thing I noticed that just Tanya and Esme were present, and they seemed to be lost in each other.
We made our way upstairs and immediately made our way to our room, stumbling through the door while we giggled.
"Is it really bad that I want to strip that skirt from you?" I asked softly.
She smiled and kissed me. "Probably just as bad as me wanting to strip away that dress from you."
We both smiled at each other and set to do just that, undressing each other slowly, while we took in every little detail of each other. She of course was perfect in every single way which in turn served to make me feel a bit self-conscious.
Alice noticed and smiled. "There is need to be embarrassed baby, you are perfect and beautiful in every sense of the word.
That only served to darken my blush as I was pulled into her arms. "Are we ready for this Ali?" I asked in a whisper.
She smiled and kissed me softly. "Personally, I have been ready to make love to you since the moment I saw you, but I understand if you want to wait a bit longer." She said softly.
I smiled and pulled her close. "I am ready Ali, but I think this will be better when we do it another time, when I don't have school, but trust me that I intend to have you in the most intimate of ways."
Alice smiled and kissed me as we walked backwards. "Then we'll go to sleep, sweet dreams, my Bella."
"See you in the morning my love, good night." I said as she cuddled into me a bit more, moaning ever so softly as her breasts made contact with my back.
The following morning I awoke to a soft purring coming from behind me. I never heard her purr before and already I found it adorable.
"Good morning Bella, did you sleep okay?" She asked softly.
"I slept amazing Ali, had such a good dream too, but I like the way I woke up even more. I like hearing you purr." I said softly.
She giggled at that. "Only you can make me purr baby, and you will be the only one to ever hear it from me."
I had to smile at her. "I'm glad for that, but I have to say that I really don't want to go to school. I want to stay in bed with you."
"It's only for today my sweet. Tomorrow we'll stay home to pack some bags for our trip. Then you can sleep in as long as you want, besides, I don't think Esme will let you sleep in today. I can hear her preparing breakfast for you downstairs, and Rose is already hoping you and I will ride to school with her." She said with a soft kiss to my neck.
"Then I suppose we shouldn't keep our mother and sister waiting." I said with a smile before giving her a kiss and getting out of bed to take care of some human needs.
I heard Alice's giggles from the room as I took care of my morning business and my unruly hair in the mornings.
By the time I got back in the room, Alice was sitting primly on the bed in one of her dazzling outfits. I gave her a quick kiss before I got dressed myself, choosing to wear something that would look nice next to her.
I could feel her eyes burning in the back of my head as I picked out a nice spring dress. I slipped it on and saw how well it looked on me in her long mirror.
"You look amazing baby." She said with a smile.
"Thank you love, I try my best to look good next to you." I said with a slight blush.
She smiled and kissed me. "You would look good next to me while wearing a potato sack. But I'm glad you chose this dress. It flatters your figure a lot, and I must admit that I like the fact you chose to forego a bra."
"Don't start Ali, otherwise everyone will immediately know what you do to me." I said softly.
"Then let's go downstairs and get this day started, my love." She said softly.
I only nodded and followed her downstairs, where the entire family was ready to go, except for Victoria and Julian, who looked too old to still be in high school.
Once we were packed into Rosalie's car we were quickly on our way to school. I was just hoping that especially Jessica and Lauren would keep their mouths shut when they saw me with Alice.
Alice seemingly noticed my inner turmoil and scooted closer to me. "You okay baby?" She asked softly.
I smiled and nodded at her. "I'm okay baby. Just a little bit nervous about what people will say when they see us together."
"We'll be fine baby, just ignore the idiots for the two days we're here. I'll be in all of your classes, and Rose will also be right by your side, won't you dear sister." Alice said with a smile.
Rose smiled and nodded. "Of course I will, no one is going to take shots at my little sister while I am around to do something about it." She said with an audible smile.
I had to smile at that. In the last few days Rosalie was trying anything and everything to be the friend and sister she had always wanted to be towards me, and I couldn't be happier with it.
"You know, since it will probably be a short day for us, how about we go shopping after school. That's something I wanted to do for ages now." I said with a smile as I cuddled into Alice.
They both smiled at that. "That's a great idea. I'll call Vicki and Kate when we're at school and tell them to meet us in Seattle for a shopping spree." Alice said with a bright smile.
I couldn't help but smile at her. "I don't mind the shopping spree, as long as the four of you don't start throwing clothes at me like they are on fire, I'd like to think I developed some sense of style while you were away."
They both smiled and nodded. "That is something we noticed Bella. It showed plenty with how you looked yesterday." Rose said softly.
"Why thank you my dear sister. That means a lot coming from you." I said with a smile.
Rose shook her head with a smile. "Don't mention it Bella, but you might want to prepare yourself, we're here." She said as we turned onto the parking lot, the boys already waiting for us.
Alice's POV
As soon as we were outside of the car, Bella took my hand, clearly not wanting to be parted from my side again.
"What's this Bella, already feeling the pull towards Alice that much?" Emmett asked with a grin.
She blushed and nodded. "Stop it Emmett, she's going to have a hard enough time already without you trying to embarrass her." I said as I wrapped an arm around her waist.
He smiled at both of us. "I'm sorry Alice, sorry Bella. I was just trying to take your mind off of it, you know you don't have to deal with it alone, right?"
"Of course I know that Em, I just can't promise that I will keep myself under control today, especially if the two resident sluts have something to say about things." Bella said with a smile.
"Speaking of whom, here they come." Rose said with clear disdain for the two girls.
I saw how Bella looked in their direction and how they were coming straight for us, both of them wearing similar smirks when they spotted us.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Bella and her dyke girlfriend, finally decided to show up again, huh?" Lauren asked with a sneer.
"Oh shut the fuck up Lauren, don't you have a jock to fuck or something, or perhaps you need to suck off a teacher so you might actually pass a class." Bella said with a smirk.
"At least I'm not a dirty muff-diver, like you, you fucking slut." Jessica said angrily.
"And maybe you two sluts need to move before I punch out a few more of your bleached teeth." Bella said as she stepped forward, smirking as the two stepped back.
"Let's go Jess, let's leave the slut with her dyke girlfriend and her weird family." Lauren said softly.
Jessica nodded but never took her eyes of Bella, clearly afraid that Bella might actually follow up on her threat.
Bella smirked at the two as they walked away. "Well, I guess that takes care of them, they shouldn't bother us for the remainder of the day."
"I'm proud of you my love, I loved how you stood up to them." I said as I kissed her cheek.
She smiled and kissed me properly, catching me by surprise just a little bit.
There were some cat-calls, but we ignored them, the two of us walking inside hand in hand with the others close behind us.
"I never figured Bella would develop that much of a backbone during our absence." Emmet said too soft for the humans to hear.
"I think she had to, she refused to be treated like a paper doll when Edward left her, and to avoid people taking shots at her, she developed quite the bitchy side." I said in a similar tone.
"It could use some work, but I am impressed how she handled those two bimbos. And to even threaten them with actual bodily harm is something I had not expected of her." Rose said softly.
We all smiled at that. "And let me guess Rose, you want to help her develop that bitchy side?" Jasper asked softly.
Rose smiled and nodded as we arrived at class. "You know, it's rude to talk so soft that other people can't hear what you are saying, especially when it's about me." Bella said softly.
"Sorry Bells, old habits die hard, we were just talking about the backbone you developed, and how Rose really wants to help you develop your new found bitchy side." Emmett said with a bright smile.
Bella blushed a little at that, but said nothing as we took our seats, of course taking a seat next to me, with the others in close proximity.
…
School was dreadfully boring as always, and by the time lunch came around Rose, Bella and I were done with it, so we skipped the remainder of the day to go shopping in Seattle.
With Rose's driving it didn't take the normal four hours to get there, but it was still a two hour drive before we pulled into the parking lot where we would meet Victoria and Kate, who were already waiting for us.
"I truly didn't believe it when Bella suggested this shopping trip. I guess I should have known better." Kate said after she hugged us tightly.
"And don't forget Katerina, you still owe me fifty bucks for that." Victoria said with a smile.
Kate grumbled a bit, but handed the redhead fifty dollars anyway. "What I can't believe is that you two actually made a bet on this." Bella said softly.
"Sorry Bella, but we really didn't expect you to be the one to come up with this, going with us yes, but not suggesting it in the first place." Rose said with a smile.
She smiled at that. "Well, you should know better in the future. Because this will be a regular thing." She said with a wink to me.
I couldn't help but smile and kiss her cheek at that, and soon enough we set off into Seattle, all five of us walking with our arms linked, which drew some quirked eyebrows from the humans.
Shopping was fun, and the lunch we ate together was even more so, especially when Bella's eyes almost popped out of her sockets when she saw Kate and Victoria devour a hamburger while Rose ate a salad.
"I can't believe you would put yourself through that for me." She muttered softly.
We all smiled at her. "As I told you my sweet, we actually like to eat from time to time, we know it doesn't do anything for us, but blood can leave quite the bitter aftertaste in your mouth." I said with a smile.
Bella smiled at that as she ate her own burger. I was actually glad she wanted to know as much as possible before I turned her, and for us it was a case of being honest with her, which I knew she would want us to be.
Way too soon for my liking we were in the car again, although we had quite the haul for both Bella and myself, so much in fact that we had trouble getting it all in Rosalie's car. "You should really learn some restraint when it comes to shopping Tink, one of these days my trunk won't be able to handle to load anymore." Rose said with a smile.
"I resent that, we can always reinforce the trunk, but a girl will always need clothes." I said in defense.
Both Bella and Rose shook their heads. "Your closets are already bursting baby, I have to agree with Rose on this one." Bella said as she kissed my cheek.
I pouted just a little, but I couldn't keep the smile of my face when Bella rested her head on my shoulder. "I'll try to keep myself under control next time, but no promises." I said softly.
I could see Rosalie's shocked look in the rearview mirror. "Wow Alice, that's the first time I have seen you make any concession when it comes to clothes, not even Jazz managed to do that."
I smiled at her. "What can I say Rose, like you I will do anything to make my mate happy."
She shrugged at that. "True, that's probably why I put up with Emmett's sometimes childish jokes and sexual innuendo's, but God do I love that big teddy-bear." She said with almost a dreamy smile.
"As do we all Rose, in a very brotherly way of course." Bella said with a smile.
Rosalie smiled at that. "We all know you're by far his favorite sibling Bella, and we're okay with that."
"And you are my best friend Rose." Bella said softly.
Deciding to tease my mate a bit I pouted at her. "I thought I was your best friend."
Bella smiled and kissed me softly. "Baby, you're my lover and my mate, that is on a whole other level of friendship."
I couldn't help but smile at her as I rested my head against her shoulder again.
Bella's POV
As soon as we arrived at the house, Esme waited for us at the door, sighing softly when she saw us carrying the bags into the house. "I should have known that you girls would go shopping after school. What happened?" She asked softly.
"Lauren and Jessica said some things about me and Alice being together, and despite my threat they continued throughout the day with their insults, so we skipped after lunch." I said softly.
Esme smiled and pulled me into a hug, kissing the top of my head as I relaxed in her embrace.
"Thanks Mom, I needed that." I said as I pulled back.
She just smiled and took a few bags from me to carry inside, saying that it was best not to add somethings to my already dubious equilibrium.
I just smiled and followed the family inside, seeing that the boys were already home and playing a video game while Jasper held Kate as they watched Julian and Emmett shoot each other in the game.
"Boys will be boys Bella, come, let's go and put our things away, I have a surprise for you." Alice whispered in my ear.
I nodded at her and followed her upstairs to our room, Alice pushing me to the bed once she closed the door.
"I want you Bella, more than I ever wanted anything else." She said before kissing me deeply.
"I want you too Ali, I'm ready for you to make me yours in every way possible." I said without any hint of doubt.
She smiled and kissed me again. "Those are by far the most beautiful words you have said to me since you told me you love me."
"And I do, with every fiber of my being, and I'm yours forever, I need you to make love to me, I'm ready." I said softly.
Alice smiled and slowly pulled her top off, and was just about to reach for her pants when I caught her wrist. "Baby, let me undress you, I want to see every single part of your gorgeous body."
"Whatever my mate desires, but could I do the same for you?" She asked with a smile.
I nodded and gave her a kiss as I unhooked her bra before moving down to her pants, giving her butt a squeeze before I unbuttoned her pants and pushed it down.
Alice moaned softly and did the same to me, pulling off my top once I need to break from our kiss for air. "You're so gorgeous Bella, I can't wait until you are turned and become even more perfect." She said in a husky whisper.
"I could never be as perfect as you though, my love. but I would be lying if I said that I wasn't excited about being turned." I said softly.
She smiled and kissed me again as she unbuttoned my pants and pushed it down too, before she got unhooked and discarded my bra, leaving us both in our underwear.
"You will be as perfect as you see me my love, but there will always be one thing about you that will be better than mine."
I smiled at her, kind of knowing where she was going with this. "And what would that be baby?" I asked with a smile.
She smiled at that. "Well your breasts of course, I've always had difficulty not looking at them." She said softly.
"Well, they are yours now baby, so feel free to touch them as much you want." I said with a slight blush.
Alice smiled and kissed me. "Baby, in the not too distant future we won't be able to keep our hands off of each other, so I think we'll do plenty of touching during those first few months.
"I kind of want to feel your hands all over me right now, I want you to make love to me tonight." I said softly.
She smiled and started kissing her way down my body, making me moan loudly.
"You taste amazing Bella baby. I could do this all day." She said softly.
I moaned and tangled my hands in her short hair as she pulled my underwear off. "Oh Ali, whatever you are doing, don't stop. It feels amazing." I said softly.
She smiled at me. "I don't plan to stop just yet baby, I've waited a long time to be between your legs like this." She said with a wink before she started eating me out.
I moaned even louder, I just couldn't help it. Alice made me feel things that I didn't even know existed. Her cold tongue inside of my overheated body was the best thing ever. I knew I wouldn't last long from these sensations, and only seconds later I screamed out her name as I came.
She licked me clean and kissed her way back up my body. "I take it you enjoyed that, since you pretty much shook the house on its foundations with that scream of yours."
"That was the best I ever felt baby, thank you so much, but I really want to return the favor."
Alice smiled and kissed me, tasting my own juices on her lips and tongue. "Bella baby, I would love that, you've made me extremely wet with your moans." She said teasingly.
I only smiled as I kissed my way down her body, paying special attention to her nipples, loving the mewling sounds that came from her mouth as I teased the sensitive buds erect.
Like I had done to her, she tangled her hands in my hair, and as I pulled her probably very expensive thong down I had to smile at how wet my lover was, and without any hesitation I started eating her out.
Alice moaned loudly at my ministrations. "Baby, please, I need your fingers inside of me, I've been dying to feel it."
I only smiled and started fingering her with two fingers, knowing that one wouldn't be enough for my mate.
That made her moan even louder, and like myself it took only seconds before she screamed out her orgasm, although I saw she was embarrassed about it. "What's wrong love, did I do anything wrong?" I asked softly.
She smiled and pulled me up for a kiss. "Far from it my love, I think it's just a little embarrassing that I couldn't hold out a little longer at almost one hundred years old."
"I thought it was sweet that you couldn't control yourself. That the slightest touch gets you wet. It gives me good hope for our future." I said with a slight yawn.
"Before we can think of that my love, I think you better get some sleep, we have an early flight after all. I'll pack while you sleep." She said softly.
I only nodded and gave her a deep kiss before I rested my head against the pillows, falling asleep almost instantly.
