Chapter Six: Thought

Alice POV

"Hi Lizzy! Hi Lizzy's mom! Come on in!" Alicia opened the door, smiling brightly at us. I smiled back at her in return.

Today was the day when I would finally meet this 'perfect man'. I was excited at the prospect of meeting Bella's possible future boyfriend.

Ever since we were little, Bella was shy and reserved, and very self-conscious. She never saw herself correctly, believing she was plain and unattractive. No matter how many times Rosalie and myself had told her differently, she would smile and say thank you, but she never truly believed our words.

But the truth was, Bella truly was beautiful. She had this natural, subtle beauty that even Rosalie was jealous of at times. Any girl could look pretty or 'hot' with makeup and the right clothes, but even without them, Bella was beautiful. She could show up in old sweats and still look radiant. However, being the modest, sweet, and kind girl that she was, she never saw that about herself.

I had watched, sadly, as Bella dated jerk after jerk. The first one, Mike Newton, was pathetic. He literally begged(yes, on his hands and knees) Bella for a date, and being the sympathetic girl she was, she finally agreed. However, Newton was as dull as a doorknob, so that didn't last long.

Then came Tyler. At first he had acted all sweet, but after a few dates he had tried to take advantage of her. Thankfully, Bella had kicked him well in the area where the sun doesn't shine and escaped before he could do anything more. Emmett had fun 'taking care' of Tyler afterwards, and he never bothered her again.

Finally, the last one, Jake Black, we actually saw hope in. He and Bella were long time friends, so they went on a few dates in college. Me and Rosalie both thought that he might have been the one-he was kind, gentle, and basically, a pretty cool guy. Bella was really happy with him, and she thought she was in love with him. But after 3 months, a girl named Cecilia came to the college, and for Jake and Cecilia, it was like love at first sight. After talking long and hard to Bella about it, Bella and him broke up. But they have remained good friends, but whenever I asked Bella about him, she always told me that it still hurt for her, to see the person that she thought she had loved so much be with someone else. Nevertheless, she admitted that there was no doubt that Cecilia and Jake were soulmates.

Soulmates. What are they, exactly? I believe that I have found my soulmate-Jasper. He and I are so synced with each other, that we don't have to even say a single word to each other to feel comfortable. Although our relationship might not be as flamboyant or extroverted as others, we love each other deeply, and I have no doubt that we truly are soul mates.

The same goes for Rosalie and Emmett, although their relationship is more physical than Jasper's and mine's. However, if you take the time to carefully observe those two, you will see that they truly love each other. Sure, Rosalie might slap Emmett once or twice across his head at times, but you can't mistake the amusement and adoration in both of their eyes.

"Mom? MOM!" I was shaken out of my thoughts by Lizzy looking at me weirdly and tapping my shoulder. I shook my head, and turned to look at the two lovely girls before me. "Yes, darling?"

"Me and Alicia are going to work on our project." She raised her eyebrows and I knew what she was talking about. "Okay, Lizzy. I'll go talk with Alicia's uncle. Alicia, where is he, anyways?"

She pointed me towards a room on the right. "He's in his music studio. You might want to knock before you go in though. He gets sorta frustrated if you interrupt him."

Alicia grabbed Lizzy by the shoulders and tugged her off to her room. Both of them gave me a little wave, and I smiled back at them.

Here goes nothing.

Lizzy POV

Alicia pulled me into her brightly colored room and plopped down on her soft bed, patting the area next to her. I crawled up besides her and smiled.

"Well, I think that everything is totally awesome right now." Alicia nodded, laughing along with me. "Do you think your mom will like Uncle Edward?" I rolled my eyes. Wasn't it obvious?

"Of course! I mean, Edward is such a gentleman, and he's not really outspoken or the gloating type. Aunt Bella is quiet and shy, so they would match up perfectly! Also, she wants 'true love', not just a stupid fling or some random boy to call her boyfriend. She wants the real thing, and I really think your Uncle is perfect for the position."

Resting her chin on the palms of her hands, Cia lowered her body so she was lying on her stomach. "I think Uncle Edward is the same too. I mean, I never see him talking about girls and he rarely even dates. Heck, my mom told me that he was still a virgin!" Alicia stuck out her tongue playfully. I shrugged my shoulders. "So is Aunt Bella. See? Everything will work out fine."

We were both quiet for a moment, tangled up in my own thoughts.

My mind drifted towards a new person. Aaron.

My forehead wrinkled as I thought of him. Why did Aaron just pop into my mind so suddenly? Confused, I tried to block out any thoughts of him that I might have had. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't push him into the back of my mind. The mental image of Aaron sent my heart into overdrive, and it startled me so much that I nearly toppled off the bed. Alicia gave me a strange look.

"Chica, what's wrong? You look edgy." She gave me a disapproving look. I shook my head. "Nothing, Cia. I was just thinking."

I put my ipod on and the earbuds into my ear. Putting it on shuffle, I leaned back against the headboard and closed my eyes, thinking.

Mainly, about Aaron Francis.

If you just realize what I just realized

That we'd be perfect for each other

And never find another

Just realize what I just realized

Alice POV

I knocked on the door lightly, careful not to disturb the person inside. There was a faint melody of notes playing inside, but the music didn't stop. I knocked a little louder and cleared my throat; the music stopped abruptly.

A few seconds later, the door opened and out stepped Edward Masen.

I checked off 'Gorgeous' in my mental checklist. He had amazing bronze hair and sparkling emerald eyes.

Edward seemed frustrated for a moment, but then he registered surprise in his expression. "Excuse me, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you the first time you knocked because of my playing. It's nice to meet you, I'm Edward Masen. I suppose you are Lizzy's mother?" He held out a hand, and I shook it quickly.

"Yup, you've supposed right. Mary Alice Brandon Whitlock, pleased to meet you. But please, call me Alice. Everyone who called me by my first name has been through hell, courtesy of me," I chirped brightly. He leaned back instictively, with a scared look in his eyes. His next words were slightly shaky.

"Er, I understand. Please, come in." He opened the door wider so I could peek inside.

The room was light, open with large windows facing the sun. There was a magnificant grand piano in the middle, and shelves of music and CDs stacked up around the room. I flitted happily into the room and observed the CDs he had.

I checked off the next thing in my mental checklist. 'Good Taste In Music'.

Interrogation time.

"So, Edward, what do you do for a living?" I asked, conversationally. No need to let him know that my daughter was pretending to be him and talking with my sister every night.

"I'm a concert pianist. Also, I teach music at the nearby conservatory." Check, check. 'Has a Career' and 'Talented'.

I sat down in a nearby leather chair relishing in the feel of the coolness. Looking around the room, I saw that it was decorated well.

"Did you hire an interior designer? Your whole penthouse is really nicely decorated." Inwardly, I laughed to myself. I doubted that any boy (or man in this case) could have done it by themselves.

He smirked, but I didn't get it. He started laughing when he realized that I didn't get what the joke was.

"Actually, I bought the pieces and decorated by myself, with some help from my mother, Elizabeth Masen." I gasped, my mouth widening. Check! 'Can Decorate A House'.

Elizabeth Masen was one of the best interior designers in Chicago, possibly even in the whole country. So this was his son, one of the most talented pianists ever. I had heard much about Elizabeth, because I also worked in the designing world, but I designed clothes and outfits instead.

"Ah, so you're her son? I'm not surprised, seeing how brilliant you are and your mom is."

He smiled at my sentence, and I checked off another on my list. 'Nice Smile'.

The rest of the time passed by quickly. Subtly, I asked him different questions, and checked off everything on my list, including a few bonuses.

It was 2 hours later when we left, after Lizzy came out of Alicia's room and reminded me that it was time for dinner soon. Edward and Alicia suggested that we stay for dinner, but I refused, knowing that me and Liz had much to talk about.

Right after we stepped out of the penthouse and into the humid air, Lizzy attacked me.

"So what do you think mom? Isn't he perfect? Didn't I do a good job? Don't you think Aunt Bella would love him?!"

I hugged her tightly. "Yes, I really think so. He's perfect."

Lizzy squealed, and hand in hand we walked back home to our own family.

Yay Alice likes Edward! WOOT! Next chapter its going back to Bella and Edward (Lizzy) Please review, and I'll see you next time!
