Hmm, how can I help you? Oh...some Alice and Bella lemon? Don't mind if I do!
I don't own the Saga. Never have, never will.
Chapter Six
"Good morning my wonderful girlfriend," someone whispered in my ear before I became aware of who it was.
I opened my eyes to be greeted by a pair of molten gold, her smile eliciting a smile from me. "Good morning. Did I fall asleep?"
Alice nodded. "After the night we had last night, I was all for letting you sleep in."
I rolled my eyes. "You were just secretly hoping for a replay this morning."
"Was not!" Alice said, not enough reassurance in her tone. I gave her a look before she sighed. "Okay, maybe I was. Can you blame me, though? I mean, I get to watch you sleep, while you are naked. My thoughts run wild in the middle of the night and I'm tempted to pull back the covers and make you squirm."
I gave her a seductive smirk, my head inching closer to hers as my breath tickled her lips. "Then why don't you do that?" I asked before my lips met hers, a guttural groan coming from the back of Alice's throat. My hands quickly reached up to her hair, tugging at different spikes as her tongue skillfully entered my mouth.
With a moan I rolled on top of her, my lips slowly moving down towards her chin, my teeth grazing her perfect skin as I reached her neck.
"Bella, we can't," Alice said, but not convincingly enough. Her voice was low, and I could tell she wanted this as much as me, if not more.
"Why not? You scared that I'm going to rock your world?" I asked teasingly as I kissed down her chest before taking in one of her nipples in my mouth.
"Bella!" Alice's hips bucked before her hands gripped onto my shoulders, pushing me back softly. "I want to Bella, but look, we've got friends over at my house and I want you to meet them."
I pouted as I sat up, staring at the nakedness of my girlfriend, depressed that I wouldn't get to taste her in my mouth. "I want to stay in here."
"Please? Laurent is with them. He wants to apologize again."
At the sound of Laurent's name, memories flooded me of my previous encounters with James and Victoria, and how I was kiss-blocked by James; twice, and Alice didn't let me sleep with her until after we took care of Victoria? And now it was Laurent's fault I wasn't getting some now. Damn nomadic vampires ruining my fun time with Alice!
"I hate nomads," I muttered to myself, crossing my arms. "Fine, but can we finish this later?"
Alice shrugged. "I can't promise Emmett won't install a recording device in your room. He realizes that lately we've been extra intimate and that we normally relieve ourselves at your house, so he's going to put in a video camera."
"Can you blame me for wanting to be intimate? Look at you!" I was having a hard time to ignore my natural instincts, considering she was bare right before me.
"The same could be said about you, my dear," Alice hummed quietly before crawling towards me, her lips meeting mine in a heartbeat. "Now get dressed and meet me out back. I'll carry your clothes when we run there."
I nodded. I knew I'd have to get dressed to make my mom think I was up and ready, but I'd soon ditch them, anyway.
I greeted my parents in a flurry before quickly leaving and meeting Alice in our shed. After five minutes (Alice graciously offered to take off my clothes for me, which ended up turning into an intense make out session) I was soon running alongside Alice. It had been a couple days since I last phased, but it still felt good to feel the air rush past my fur.
When we were outside the Cullens house, I shifted back and Alice handed me my clothes. We both determined it best if I were the only one to put them on, seeing as the last time Alice was near me and my clothes it delayed us five minutes.
I could smell new vampires as Alice and I walked to the Cullens porch hand-in-hand. There were four of them, not including Laurent, and the hairs on the back of my neck immediately stood up. I hadn't heard the Cullens mention these friends before, and I didn't know if they drank human blood or not. If they did, well…let's just say they shouldn't hunt while they enjoyed their stay in Forks.
Alice squeezed my hand before opening the door to the Cullen house, and I was immediately greeted by twelve pairs of golden-brown eyes, seven of them familiar while the other five were strangers. I was expecting to see red eyes, given that Laurent was here, but as I took in the vampires I soon realized he had golden-brown eyes. He must've adhered to the vegetarian diet.
I also noticed he had his arm around a tiny blonde, her hair almost as pale as her skin, and she had a faint smile on her face. Next to her was a strawberry blonde who smirked as her eyes glanced towards Edward every five seconds, and I got the sense that she really liked Edward. Behind her was a Spanish looking couple, both with an olive pallor underneath the regular pale skin I normally saw, as well as black hair and Spanish features.
"Eleazar, Carmen, Tanya, Irina, I'd like you to meet Alice's mate, Bella," Kate smiled, and I soon realized that this must've been the family she once lived with. It made sense; the two blondes could easily pose as her sisters.
"She's hu—," the strawberry blonde grimaced, pursing her lips as to not speak up. "Does she know?"
I only smirked, raising an eyebrow at her. "I'm not exactly human myself."
"You got that right," the blonde on Laurent's arm said, her nose crinkling. "You stink."
"Irina!" The Spanish woman, Carmen I assumed, scolded. "That's no way to speak to her."
"No, it's okay. You all don't smell like roses to me either."
Laurent stepped forward, apology written on his features. "I wanted to say I'm sorry for the cause James and Victoria gave you the past few months. I know it must've been troublesome trying to remain inconspicuous and trying to fight off a newborn army. I should've told you Victoria would go to any measure to avenge her mate."
"It's no problem Laurent, really. She's dead now, anyway, so no harm, no foul."
Laurent nodded with a smile. "Now, if you could please inform me of what you are? I'm really curious."
I took a deep breath. "I'm a werewolf."
"Well, that explains the smell," Irina mumbled, earning a playful smack from Carmen.
"Don't be insulting, Irina," Carmen said before turning to me with a smile. "I'm sorry for my daughter's behavior. I'm Carmen, it's a pleasure to meet Alice's mate."
Eleazar, the only male of the group aside from Laurent, smiled as well. "She's right. We've watched Alice go through boyfriends," he glanced at Alice when she cleared her throat, "and girlfriends. It's nice to see her settle down."
"Gee, you make it sound like I was a total whore," Alice rolled her eyes.
"You might as well be," Emmett guffawed, "with how much you and Bella consummate your relationship."
"What's that make you then? You and Rose fuck every night," Alice glared at her giant of a brother.
Emmett only grinned. "Don't I know it!"
"I'm not sure if Alice told you, but her and I used to have a little thing back in the day," the strawberry blonde smirked, crossing her arms.
"Tanya," Edward groaned. "You shouldn't have mentioned that."
"You…what now?"
Alice turned to me with a sheepish smile. "Well, this was back in the day…after Jasper and Kate got together. We didn't really consider ourselves girlfriends, but we did see each other for five years."
"And those five years were full of a lot of fun," Tanya winked.
"Five years is a little thing?" I asked Alice.
"For vampires it is," Alice answered. "Five years is like five months to immortals. Time moves really fast for us."
"And you failed to tell me this why?"
"Ooh, a lover's quarrel. Maybe they'll kiss and make up while they're at it," Emmett sat down on the couch, imitating someone chewing popcorn as he watched on.
Alice shrugged, ignoring her brother. "I didn't think it was important."
"Tanya, why'd you have to go and bring up your past relationship with Alice? You just met her mate!" Carmen scolded.
Tanya shrugged. "Hey, I figured she would know by now."
Laurent cleared his throat. "I suggest we move to a different topic."
Alice nodded. "Yes, I would like to know how you are adjusting to this life."
As Laurent answered her, I whispered in her ear "We will talk about this later" before getting to know the rest of the Denali clan. Not only did Tanya have a thing for Alice, but she was very much into Edward as well. Edward only grimaced, reminding me of the way he looked after Jessica or Lauren asked him out. Maybe Edward really was gay, if he refused every woman in sight…and Tanya wasn't ugly, either, so it didn't make sense.
Carmen was a really nice woman. She was sweet and I loved her in a heartbeat. She didn't even flinch when she hugged me, and I hugged her back much the same. I had to return home, sans Alice, and I was soon greeted by my mother.
"Bella, could you come in here please? I want to talk to you."
I walked into the living room to find my mom nursing a cup of hot tea, her slipper covered feet propped up on the coffee table. "What is it?"
"How serious are you and Alice?"
"Very serious. We love each other, why?"
Mom sighed, sitting forward as she put her cup on the table. "Be honest. Have you two…pushed your relationship to the next level?"
I grimaced. Seriously? My mom was asking me if my girlfriend and I have had sex? This wasn't going to be an awkward conversation at all. "Um…yeah…why?"
"Well, I mean, I don't want you to think I've been spying on you, but I went to gather your clothes this morning and I saw that you were naked in your bed." Oh God, shoot me now. "Don't think that I'm discouraging it either, but I'd like to know ahead of time so that your father and I could be out of the house when you two—"
"Mom, don't worry. We always wait until you and Dad are out of the house. Just…last night I must've fallen asleep. I'm sorry."
"Oh, well, I had another question to ask," Mom cleared her throat. "Have you two thought about marriage?"
Jesus Christ. First Alice, now my mom? "Alice just brought that up yesterday, Mom. But yeah, I've thought about it, but it's not something I want to do this year. I just turned eighteen. I want to wait awhile."
"Well, I can see Alice cares for you deeply. Just consider it, okay?"
I shrugged. "I don't know. I'm going to my room. If you need me, you can come on in, but knock first, alright?"
"Sure thing sweetie. And if you want to talk, I'm just down here, okay?"
I nodded before going to my room, closing my door as I thought about what my mom said.
Was everyone trying to get me married?
A/N: Renee isn't the typical mom, now is she?
Next chapter it's Halloween and the pack have a mission; get the Bauers drunk and try to get them to talk. What fun will come of that, I wonder? Leave your guesses in the review.
