AN … no much to say… ummm… Purple monkey dishwasher?

And on to the story.

BPOV

Jasper hadn't taken his eyes of Alice all lunch. It was really quite cute. A little stalkerish but cute just the same.

"So Bella, did you want to come shopping this afternoon?" Alice was actually giving me the option. Wow.

"Sure Alice, thanks." I smiled at her and she gave me a goofy grin back.

"No problem, I like you, I'm just glad I don't have to hang out with bimbo one and bimbo two anymore." We both laughed as we made our way to Spanish and sat at the back of the room.

The rest of the day continued in much the same manor. When the final bell rang I met Edward and Jacob at my locker, like always.

"Hey boys!" I said as I opened my locker and pulled out all my books and stuffed them into my bag.

"Do you need a hand?" Edward asked reaching out to help me. Jake cleared his throat and chuckled.

"Bells is tough, she doesn't need help."

"Actually, help would be lovely." I glared at Jacob who just gave me a toothy grin which I couldn't help but smile back at.

Edward lifted my very full bag over his shoulder and bowed very low as he asked; "Where to m'lady?" I grinned like a fool and Jacob sighed and walked away.

"You two are so weird! I can't believe I'm you friend!" he said with a grin. He was facing the other way but I could hear it in his voice.

"To the car kind sir." And then I suddenly remembered Alice. "Erm, actually I'll take it. I've got to go do some shopping for erm, Charlie. Yes, Charlie." He eyed me suspiciously but handed over the extremely heavy bag. I nearly fell to the floor under the weight. He chuckled and reached his hand and pulled me up by the crook of my elbow. His touch sent my arm on fire. Edward dropped my arm as soon as I was upright and then began walking after Jacob.

"I'll see you tomorrow Bella." He turned and gave me a crooked smile and I almost fell to the floor again, but it wasn't to do with my bag this time.

I stood there like an idiot as I watched Edward run up behind Jake and hit him over the back of the head then take off around the corner. Jacob rubbed the back of his head and when he realised what had happened, he took off after Edward screaming something about mud and revenge.

I watched the corner hoping to see a glimpse of Edward again but instead all I saw was his sister bolting around the corner toward me.

"Bella, let's go, the mall awaits!" and then I couldn't help it I took of running toward the car park. Jake brought his car today and so Edward would have a lift. As we got to Edward's Volvo I stopped dead.

"Keys!" I dropped my bag to the floor in surrender. "Great, how could we forget that we don't have…" Alice pulled out of her pocket a silver shinny key. "You're amazing!" I shouted and jumped on her giving her a hug. She hugged back and before I knew it we were jumping up and down around in little circles.

"Okay… what's going on?" Rosalie said as she leaned against Edward's car.

"Nothing." We both pulled away from each other looking around at the sky.

"I think I know… you're stealing Edward's car and possibly going shopping and you've NOT invited me." She looked at us with mock hurt in her eyes as she lifted her hand to cover her heart.

We smiled at her and then crashed our arms around her and the jumping and spinning started again.

We finally all got into the car and Alice sat at the steering wheel. "Let's go!" She said as she turned the engine on. Edward's car started and I reached over my shoulder to put my seatbelt on. I couldn't quite reach so I turned to find it, and that's when I saw him.

Edward was standing with a soccer ball bouncing away behind him – obviously he'd been holding it and dropped it in shock – his mouth was open and his eyes were burning holes in mine.

"Uh oh." I mumbled. Edward began running for the car, Alice saw what I'd been so occupied with and revved the engine. Edward reached us just as Alice got the car in drive. He slammed his hands on the hood and bent toward us breathing heavily.

His eyes moved from Alice, to Rosalie and finally they rested on me. I gave a sheepish smile. I locked the doors. Edward's eyes narrowed further. Alice whispered to me without moving her lips – quite an amazing talent – "Smile Bella." I did, "Flirtatiously!" she whisper shouted. I didn't have any idea what she meant but I thought of all the times I'd felt complete when Edward was around. I thought of the way his skin would brush mine, the way his eyes strayed from mine to my mouth when I was speaking. I knew he meant nothing by it but it still made me feel… sexy. I smiled.

Edward stopped glaring. His face looked… surprised. He cocked his head to the side and stood. His arms fell to his sides and he smiled back. It wasn't one of his grins he was… smiling. He looked amazing. It started raining and he still stood there. The rain became heavier and soon the wash over the windscreen made his outline blurry. Alice flicked the windscreen wipers on and I saw that Edward hadn't shifted his position except now h was squinting against the rain and he wasn't exactly smiling anymore. He was back to his confused face. It took everything I had to not jump out of the car and throw my arms around him.

"Wink!" Alice said next to me.

"Blow a kiss!" Rosalie piped up from the back seat.

Alice revved the engine and Edward's eyes narrowed again. His hair and body were soaked and he looked incredible!

He took a small step forward and Alice threw the car into reverse. I winked and Edward stopped moving.

Alice spun the car back and to the right so I was next to where Edward was standing. He moved forward to the window and gave me a crooked smile whilst glaring at me. I put my hand to my lips, kissed it then took my hand away and placed it on the cold window. Edward watched my hand and he placed his hand on mine. Alice chose that moment to gun it for the street, leaving a very cold, wet and possibly confused Edward behind.

"Bella, you're my hero!" Alice exclaimed while Rosalie mussed my hair smiling.

My phone vibrated in my pocket and I flipped I open to see a message.

Bella. I don't care what my pixie of a sister says… your all in very big trouble!

Drive safe.

E.

Rosalie stole my phone and read it aloud. I sighed and put my head against the window. Alice and Rosalie squealed in unison and I cringed.

"New wardrobe time!" Alice squealed.

"I like my baggy jeans and tees!" I replied.

"We know Bella, but Edward doesn't." Rosalie said back.

"He said that?"

"No, but he's thinking it." Alice said with a wicked grin.
