Shopping gone weird
(Bella's POV)
Edward held one of my hands as he drove me home. my stuffed lion was sitting in my lap as he followed Rose's BMW. we listend to 'Clair de Lune' and I couldn't stop from smiling.
"Bella, can I be honest with you?" Edward asked as he still drove with one hand. "Of course" I said immediatly. Edward smiled slightly. "To be honest, I was afriad you might of thought of me as forward after I kissed you tonight" Edward admitted. "No, you weren't forward, you were... dazziling" it was the only word I could think of.
Edward turned to me and smiled his crooked smile "Dazziling?" he asked half laughing. "It fits" I said, shrugging to hide my embarrassment. "I guess it does" Edward agreed, turnnig back to the road.
The rest of the ride was spent in comfortable silence. Sooner or later we arrived at my house and the porch light was on. Charlie had waited up. I un buckled my seatbelt and turned to look at Edward. he was smiling again. "I'd walk you up to the porch and kiss you good night, but I'd rather not have almost everyone we know watching" Edward whispered as he leaned over to me.
"Understandble" I nodded as I felt his breath blow in my face, it was unbelievably sweet. "So, good night" he whispered and pressed his lips to mine for a short moment. "Good night" I whispered back. he leaned away then smirked. "Dazziling right? not forward?" Edward asked "Nope, just dazziling" I assured then hopped out of the car. Before I closed hte door Edward said "We're going hiking tommorrow and Sunday, so I'll see you Monday" I nodded and shut the door.
Alice climbed out of Rose's car and waited for me to catch up to her. When I did i stumbled a bit, but not enought to fall flat on my face. especially sine Alice caught me by the arm. "Thanks" I mumbled "No problem" Alice said shrugging as we reached the porch. We waved goodbye as the car drove away then went inside.
"You girls have fun?" Charlie called from the living room as we headed in. "We sure did, dad" Alice said, she was glowing just like me. probably from finally getting with Jasper. Charlie was sitting on the sofa watching a Pistons' game. he turned his heads and seemed to notice our glowing faces and our stuffed animals. "Bella, you haven't had a look like that since you first started going out with Jacob and Alice has the same look, so... who are you two dating?" Charlie pondered.
"Um, I'm kinda dating Jasper" Alice murmured, that didn't surprise Charlie.
"And I'm dating Edward Cullen" that surprised him.
"Bella, haven't you only known the guy for a short time?" Charlie pressed. "I know dad, but things just clicked" I muttered, staring done at the floor. Alice put an arm around my shoulders.
"Plus dad, Edward's a good guy and you know it!" Alcie reminded him smugly. Charlie grumbled in agreement and we were off to up stairs.
After Alice and I showered we changed into night clothes and crawled into our beds in the room we shared. Alice snuggled her baby seal as I snuggled my lion. "I can't remember the last time I slept with a stuffed animal" I laughed and Alice laughed with me. "Me neither, I guess it's because we're crazy in love" Alice whispered in excitement.
I stopped laughing and stared at her. "Alice, Edward and I are not in love, we just started going out and have known eachother for five days!" I reminded her. "So, I fell in love with Jasper with in the first week we knew eachother; it just took us longer to get together" Alice countered and I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever, just go to sleep" I sighed and rolled over so my back was to her. As I drifted to sleep I couldn't stop thinking to my self: Am I really in love with Edward?
Alice had dragged me into shopping for my talent show out fit the next day. Try outs had been yesterday afternoon. I hadn't mentioned it, because...I didn't want to, but I did make it.
Alice had wanted to drive back to Port Angeles, but I told her no. It took us na hour to get there which meant the Cullens and the Halesdid drive fast. We pulled up to a shopping mall and Alice dragged me into a clothing store. Alice was searching through some sparking and short dresses.
"Hey Bella, what's Edward's favorite color on you?" Alice suddenly asked. "Dark blue, why?" I asked back, now puzzled. "No reason, try this on" she comanded as she gave me a sparkling dark blu dress. no reason, huh? I tried it on in the dressing room and when I walked out Alice squealed. "Its percfect!" she squealed again.
The dress stopped five inches above my knees and zipped up in the back. It was a sphagettie strapped dress and lucky for me I wore a strapless bra. "Um, Alice, I don't think dad will approve" I reminded ehr with a meek face.
Alice thought aout that for a second "I know! Where those jean tights you have with the dress and since the dress doesn't show to much cleaveage around your chest, he can't complain" Alice said in victory. "Good thinking" I said, high fiving her.
"Bella?" A familiar vocie called from behind. I turned around to see Mike Newton heading straight for us. "Oh, hey Mike" I said casually. "Hey, wow, what's with the dress?" Mike asked, looking me over. "I had her try it on for the talent show, she'll be wearing it" Alice answered before I did. "Cool, um Bella, I was hoping...If you weren't doing anything tonight..." Mike tried to finish his sentence.
"Sorry Mike, but I'm seeing someone right now" I told him in a kind voice. "Oh, are you and Jacob back together?" he asked and I grimaced. "No, I'm dating the new guy, Edward Cullen" I told him blankly. "Oh, well, I guess I'll see you at school" Mike said, then ran off.
I paid for the dress because it ddin't cost that much and Alice bought herself a few nice things. We headed off to the food court and were babbling like sisters do when i ran into someone.
"Damn it" I muttered as I sat there on the ground. "Bella, are you okay?" Alice asked as I stood up. "I'm fine" I mumbled. "Sorry about that" another familiar voice said. and I looked to see it was Quil. "Quil, what are you doing here?" I asked, shocked.
"Oh, hey Bella and Alice, Well, Jacob's dad sent Embry, Jacob, and me to grab stuff for Sam's birthday party" Quil explained. "I'm meeting them in the food court" Quil added and I grimaced. "Well, I lost my appetite, bye Quil, let's go Alice" I grabbed her free hand and pulled her away from the food court.
Sunday was a little slow and I was anxious to see Edward again. Mike was probably spreading the word Edward and I were dating when I drove Alice and myself to School Monday morning. "Look there they are" Alice pointed to Emmett and Rose -who were holding hands- along with Edward and Jasper.
When we got out my suspicions were confirmed about word being spread because people were staring. I forgot all about those stares when edward wrapped his arm around me and kissed the top of my head as a 'hello.'
