I DO NOT own twilight!

Ch.4 Alice strikes

EPOV

I didn't move when Bella left to unlock the door. Jasper went with her and Alice laughed. I glared at her and walked into her room.

"Thanks for the help Bella." I sat down on the black leather couch in the room.

"No problem. Just returning the favor." She smiled. I swear my heart studdered when she smiled. I looked around for Alice and saw the excited glint in her eyes.

"Come on Jasper we have to go shopping for a few supplies." She grabbed a confused Jasper and dragged him out of the room.

"That was weird." Bella was now cooking at the samll stove in the room.

"Yeah. What are you making?" I got up walked over to the small counter and sat on the stool.

"Pasta. Do you want to stay for dinner?"

"Love to. That smells great!" She laughed.

"Thanks. My dad taught me how to cook pasta. I learned the rest on my own." She sighed.

"Bella, I'm so sorry for asking but what happened to your dad?" I whispered.

"He was murdered while he was working. He was the police cheif and he was shot." A tear fell down her cheek.

"Bella I'm so sorry!" I jumped off the stool and put my arms around her before I knew what I was doing. I stiffened and looked down at her. She looked shocked but she smiled and hugged me back and I relaxed.

"Thanks Edward." She whispered. I smiled and went back to sit on the stool.

"Just returning the favor."

"Well then I'll have to make it up to you. What do you need?" She grinned.

"I'm good. But I'll hold you to your offer." I laughed. My phone started to ring and I went into the small bedroom to answer it. "Hello?"

"Hey Eddiekinz."

"Hi Jessica. What's up?" I mentally groaned. How did she get my number.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner with me. You know, to ditch that slut." It sounded like she was trying to be seductive but it sounded more like a whine.

"Sorry Jessica but I'm... taking Bella to a movie tonight." I lied quickly.

"Oh alright. Maybe I'll see you there." She hung up and I slapped my hand to my forhead. When will that girl get the hint? I walked out of the room to see Bella taking the pasta off the burner.

"Uh Bella?" I twisted my fingers together a little nervous.

"Yeah Edward?" She placed 4 bowls on the counter and started deviding the pasta.

"Um remember that favor?" She turned to look at me confused.

"Yeah. Why are you nervous?" She walked over and stopped my shaking hands.

"Jessica called and I told her I was taking you to a movie to avoid her but she said she would see me there. You don't mind going to a movie with me do you?"

"Sure I'll go. Alice told me about how you complain about Jessica when we drove back from the hospital. And I live to help my friends." She smiled.

"Thanks." She laughed and brought me over to the counter to give me some pasta. Just then Alice came bursting through the door looking excited. Jasper followed with a scowl on his face. I wonder what was his problem?

APOV

I dragged Jasper out the door and to the store across the street.

"Alice why are we shopping for more clothes?" Jasper groaned when I dragged him into Blue notes.

"Because I have a feeling that Edward and Bella will end up together and she's gonna need a few new outfits." Jasper scowled as I mentioned Bella dating.

"I don't like this."

"Jasper he's your best friend, and my brother. Don't you trust him?" I asked while pulling down a few pairs of jeans ans some tops.

"Of course, I just don't think I'll ever forget the look on her face whn Jacob hurt her." He said Jacob's name like it was a dirty word and I laughed.

"Edward would never hurt her. You saw the look in his eyes when she screamed in her sleep. And he got his heart broken once before to remember?"

"Yeah, but you would expect that from Lauren Mallroy." I rolled my eyes at him and skipped to the register to pay. We left to go to 6 other stores and take 3 trips back to the car to dump the bags.

"It's gonna take 3 trips to get all this to your room." Jasper groaned.

"Nope. We're leaving it here untill I can soften Bella up so she'll keep it." I parked next to the building with a loud screech. "But I'm taking this out fit with me just in case." I pulled out a pair of blue wash jeans, a midnight blue silk halter top and a pair of dark purple flats. Jasper scowled at the out fit but didn't complain as we made our way up to our floor.

I burst through the door and ran to my room to hide the out fit before they could talk to me. My phone vibrated and I opened it to read my new text message.

I'm taking Bella to a movie tonight. Jessica will be there. Need help!

Edward.

I laughed but pulled out the out fit and layed it on Bella's bed. I walked out to see Bella and Edward at the counter while Jasper watched tv. Poor Edward, he probally didn't even realize they were leaning towards each other over the counter.

"Edward Jasper out! I need to give Bella a make over!" I pushed the boys out of the room and locked the door. My phone buzzed again and I answered it grudgingly.

That's not what I ment.

Ed.

What did you mean then?

Aly.

Jessica called me to try and ask me out and Bella helped me. Jessica's going there to make sure I'm with her.

Ed.

I'm still giving her a make over. But I'll help. Me and Jasper will come to keep Jessica in her place and not in your lap. LOL.

Aly.

Very funny. But I accept your help. We'll be over in an hour.

Ed.

I shut the phone and walked into the bed room. Luckily Bella was already wearing the out fit.

"You know me so well Bells." I laughed. I sat her down on the bed and started messing with her hair before deciding on a style. I did her make up lightly, just a light brown eyeshadow, mascarra, a very light blush and a clear lipgloss. "Bella you look hot!" I clapped.

"Thanks Alice." She hugged me and I was confused.

"You never thank me when I give you make overs why would you-" I paused and a smirk lit up my face. "You like him."

"Yeah." She blushed. "But you have to promise not to tell him." I hesitated. "Alice!"

"Fine! I promise I won't tell him." I huffed crossing my arms.

"Thank you." She smiled. I smiled back just as I heard a knock on the door.

"You know he likes you to." I grinned as she blushed. I nudged her forward to enter the door.
