Chapter 4
Let Me Lick Yer Lollipop!
"Edward, what the hell are you doing?"
I quickly wiggle out of, well, Edward's hold, and take a few needed steps backward, trying to adjust my hat as it starts to slip off of my head.
"I'm trying to ask her a question," Edward says to the woman behind the bushes. "What the hell does it look like I'm doing?"
"Funny. From where I'm standing," the woman scoffs, "it looks like you're being a human lollipop!"
I watch as the woman, I'm assumingishis girlfriend, walks around the bushes. If I was correct, I'd say that she isn't more than four foot five. Her hair is truly a work of art, spiky, jet black, with hot pink tips. She looks up at me and smiles a cheeky grin, as she places her hands on either of her hips.
"Hi," she says, thrusting her hand out to me, "my name is Alice. What's yours?"
I give her a small smile and take her hand in mine. "Isabella. But my friends and family call me Bella."
Alice's smile grows even wider. "Well, Bella, I think you and I are gonna get along just find. And maybe, become very good friends. By the way, I love your hat"
As Alice and I exchange a few pleasantries, I almost forget about the fact that my hot, new neighbor is standing next to us, until….
"Hello?" Edward scoffs, throwing his arms out. "Forget something?"
Both Alice and I stop talking and turn to Edward. He actually looks kind of hot, all pissed off and confused with his brows scrunched together.
"No, Edward, we did not," Alice says pointedly.
Edward gives the short woman and incredulous look, throwing his arms out again. "Wha…?"
"C'mon, Bella," Alice says, walking over to me, and linking her arm through mine. "Let's go talk some girl talk."
*snickers* Oh, that Alice!
