Chapter 4: You think I'm sexy?

A/N: So now I'm in college, which means my updates will be very sporadic due to a hectic schedule with classes and swim team/diving team, but I'm trying to update as much as I can. But anyway, I hope you enjoyed the latest chapter and that you will like this one as well!

(Alice POV)

I drove to the Swan residence and parked my Porsche in the driveway. I locked it, having it reply with a "Chirp! Chirp!" I walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. This time, however, I listened to the sound of Emma's feet thundering down the stairs. She yanked open the door with a bright smile on her face, her lips perfectly shaped and perfectly kissable. I had to seriously hold myself back from just jumping her.

"Hey babe! You look great!" I said, complementing her outfit. She was wearing a cute purple tank top and black Hollister pants, along with the same jacket as yesterday, her diving team one. She smiled, a pink shade of blush appearing on her cheeks.

"Thanks, Ali. So do you." She replied sweetly. "You don't mind if I call you Ali do you?" She asked somewhat nervously.

"You can call me whatever you like. Ali's good." I answered. "By the way, what nickname do you like best for you?" I asked

"Um, Emma's fine. Or Em. Doesn't matter, I'm good with anything. Just don't call me late for dinner!" She joked.

I smiled as she locked the door behind her. "Got everything?" I asked.

She nodded. "Yup…everything." Her eyes brightened when she saw my Porsche.

"Maybe…just I maybe…I'll let you drive her one day." I heard myself saying. Wait. Where the hell did that come from? I don't let anyone touch my baby. Not even Edward and he was the one who got me her in the first place.

Emma's eyes brightened even more, smiling widely. "Wow! That'd be awesome! I've always wanted to drive really fast cars like Porsche's." She said, but then her smile faltered.

"What's wrong?" I asked, referring to her sudden mood change.

"Oh...it's just, I'm kind of grounded from driving until my dad says it's okay again. I got into an accident a while ago and he hasn't let me drive since. Even though it wasn't my fault…someone had tinkered with the car I was supposed to be racing with that day…" she said, starting to explain. Her face looked solemn and her eyes looked misty.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I said, as we got into my car. She sighed.
"No, I want to. And I will. It's just hard for me to talk about it sometimes.

"No problem, just take your time." I said. She took a deep breath.

"Well, I used to be a competitive driver….like I used to do motocross and raced motorcycles and did Indie racecar driving, stuff like that. One of my biggest competitors was a girl named Lucy Townsen. She and I were also the best of friends…and more. We were together and raced. Nobody knew about our relationship." She began.

"Well, Lucy and I had gotten into a fight that day. It was something stupid, really. But it just…got to me. My head wasn't in the game. My dad was also there to see me race that day, so I think that might have gotten to me as well." She continued slowly. "I should have realized ahead of time that there was something wrong with the car. I knew enough about them that it was…I don't know. Stupid, I guess. But the race had already started and I figured I would deal with it after.

"We began racing the track. Halfway through, I lost complete control of my car. The clutch got stuck, the breaks were dead. Something happened to it. I lost control and crashed into her car, which blew up. It didn't kill her, but now she's in a coma and probably will be for the rest of her life. It's my entire fault and I never even went to see her. I got banned from racing even though it was the car and not me, but the people there had always liked Lucy better than me. I don't know why they just did. But it also turns out that she had been cheating on me with another girl who had visited me one night to beat me up. So overall, that was a really bad time in my life." Emma finished, looking sad.

I grew angry. I pulled the car over and turned to look at her. "Sweetie, none of that is your fault. You were young, you were scared. That's a really hard thing to go through but you didn't do it." I said angrily.

She looked at me nervously. "But I…practically killed her. She lived for racing; it was all she really had. Her parents hate me now and so does the rest of the racing world. To tell you the truth, I'm actually over her, but not what I did to her. I screwed everything up, big time." She replied sadly.

I wrapped my arms around her into a hug. "Listen, babe. Accidents happen in racing all the time. You even said that someone had tinkered with your car, and that this Lucy chick had been cheating on you. It sounds like she was the one who was at fault, not you." I said strongly into her ear. She smiled a little.

"Thanks Alice. I don't know why I do that to myself. It's just, she was more dominant in our relationship and I always felt the need to depend on her to make our decisions. When I got the inkling that she was cheating before the accident, I thought I was going crazy. I couldn't lose her. That's why I'm so independent now…I hate depending on people like that." She explained.

I nodded my head to show I understood. "And you are not stupid either. You are a smart, sexy, crazy girl that has a lot going for her." I said, kind of cautiously because I knew my feelings for her might get in the way of my words.

She smiled for real this time, and had a mischievous look on her face. "You think I'm sexy?" She asked, leaning in closer to me. I stopped. "Um…well…yeah. I do." I said. "Why do you find that surprising?"

"Because I kind of think you're sexy too." She replied

"You think I'm sexy now?" I asked, somewhat surprised. This relationship might be going a little faster than I had hoped.

A sly grin slid onto her face. "Yes I do." She said.

We leaned in and I could feel the heat of her breath that smelled refreshingly of mint. We got closer and closer until our foreheads touched. All of a sudden, something buzzed.

A/N: OOO a cliffie! Yes, I know, I'm being mean. But I would like your opinions before I continue so I know how to write the next chapter. So what do you think? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Is it going too fast, too sudden? Tell me what you think! Thanks for reading!
