A Jake and Nessie Love Story
Please Review! Hope you like this chapter :)
Chapter 4 – Nessie POV
I opened the door to Alice's Porsche 911 Turbo and slid into the passenger seat.
"About time..." Alice muttered impatiently, drumming her fingers on the steering wheel.
"Sorry Alice" I said, truly apologetic. Making Alice wait to go shopping was truly a crime in itself. I clicked the seatbelt in place as Alice put a pair of Chanel Diamante sunglasses on and chucked me a pair of Ray-Bans'.
"Thanks. So, where are we off to?" I asked Alice
"Well, I thought we could check out some shops in Seattle and Port Angeles first and then make a quick trip to New York if we can't find anything. By the time we get home it will be about 5pm so we'll have enough time to get you dressed. Is that OK?" Alice rambled, giving me a quick glance.
"Yes Alice, that's fine! It's not like you were going to change it, anyway!" I replied and Alice gave me a cheeky grin back.
We chatted about shopping, school, music, pop stars and finally... Jake.
"So, Ness, you never did tell me what your dream was about..." Alice said, taunting me.
"I'm not telling you!" I said childishly, pretending to be shocked.
"Aww c'mon! Pleaseee Ness! Was it about Jake? It was wasn't it? Look, I swear I won't tell Edward or even think about it when I'm near him." Alice pleaded.
"Alright, alright! Yes, it was about Jacob..." I said, looking down and blushing (another trait that I inherited from my mother). I told her the whole dream; it wasn't like I would be able to lie to her anyway! I felt really close to Alice, she was more of a best friend or a big sister than an aunt. In fact, she probably knew more about me than my own parents did.
She giggled as I told her angrily that I couldn't find out the ending because she woke me up! It took 45 minutes to get to Seattle but it would have taken much longer if a human was driving. But this was a vampire and more importantly a Cullen, so we arrived much faster.
We wandered around all the 'good' shops in Seattle. We found really gorgeous dresses but not all of them were appropriate by my standards, Alice's or most importantly, my dad's. The first dress we chose was a black, slinky, knee length dress with a big bow across the chest. It was really pretty and as always for Alice, extremely expensive.
"Oh Ness! That looks beautiful on you, you know if I were a human I'd be crying by now!" she cried ecstatically, looking more like a 5 year old child than a 109 year old vampire. I went over to hug her before checking my reflection again. We bought that one anyway, because Alice liked it so much although it was totally unnecessary purchase.
The second dress was also very appealing. It was a red, strappy, low cut dress and hugged my figure beautifully. I loved this dress even more than the first one.
"As much as I like that dress, Ness, I don't think your father would approve if you went out in that." Alice said quietly, answering my thoughts. I sighed; I knew this would be the problem.
Third time lucky, I hoped, and surprisingly it turned out to be! The final dress was just made for me. It was a deep blue halter neck dress with silver diamond placed intricately over the body. I absolutely adored it and so did Alice. Obviously, with it came a massive designer label and even bigger price tag. My eyes popped when I looked at the price but Alice just looked like all dresses cost this much. She bought it anyway along with some diamond chandelier earrings, a string of real pearls and some silver, Jimmy Choo heels. I was overwhelmed.
"I'm so glad you don't have the same fashion sense as your mother but I can see that like her, you also have an aversion to new clothes." She sighed.
I thought we only spent an hour or so in Seattle and Port Angeles but it turned out we spent about three hours looking for 'THE' perfect dress. Phew.
