A Leaf In a Storm
Chapter 7
"Well. Well. Isn't this a pretty sight?" Rachels voice asked. She must have followed me here. Oh shit.. I thought.
"Considering Bella just made out with me... How do I taste, bitch?" She asked smirking.
A low snarl escaped Alice and she stepped closer. "You better watch it you filthy mutt."
Wait.. Mutt? Just then, Rachel jumped into the air, her clothes bursting off, landing on all fours. Her fur was a whitish grey and I had to admit that she looked beautiful. I was stunned beyond belief at Rachel being a shifter. My head was swirling with so many questions. Questions I knew that shouldn't even matter but somehow, they did. A growl brought me out of my thoughts and just in time too. Rachel was lunging towards Alice. I made a swift decision and stepped in front of Alice. I could tell it took a lot of effort but Rachel stopped. She was inches away from me and none of us said anything for what seemed like forever. Finally I got my voice.
"Get out of here. NOW." She shook her head and I got aggrevated. Alice just stood there silently but she was tense.
"If you love me or ever loved me, you'll leave. And only come back if you can be responsible." She winced but slowly retreated and ran off into the forest.
"You should have let me rip her to shreds." Alice seethed putting her arm around my waist. I smiled from the touch and leaned into her.
"That would be a turn on." I mumbled winking at her and heading to my truck.
"Where you going?" She giggled, eyeing me curiously.
"I have to get some candy for tonight, its Halloween." I said waving my fingers in a supposed to be 'creepy' way. She laughed and came up next to me.
"Mind If I tag along?" She asked jutting her bottom lip out. She didn't even have to jut that bottom lip out. I was going to say yes no matter what.

Once we got to the store, it was hard to tell Alice from an adult to a child. She was frantically hopping around insisting on putting tons of stuff in the shopping cart, saying that she would buy it all and we would decorate my house and hand out candy together. She buzzed up and down the aisles causing everyone we passed to take a second glance at her. Especially the guys. I didn't like the way when they took a second glance that it was either at her behind or her chest. But I couldn't say anything because she wasn't technically my girlfriend. We got to the costume aisle and Alice gave me a mischievous smile.
"Lets try on costumes." She yelped jumping up and down. I laughed at her enthuiasm and shook my head.
"No way. But you can." I replied smiling.
She pouted for a moment but eventually shrugged her shoulders, grabbing an armful of costumes and running into a dressing room. Deciding that we were going to be here for awhile, I pushed the shopping cart up to a nearby chair and sat waiting for Alice. It didn't take long and she stepped out in a police uniform. She stalked towards me and straddled my lap not minding one bit who was in the store with us.
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say, can and will be held against you..." She mumbled taking my earlobe into her mouth, causing my core to tighten. I whimpered and she laughed running back into the dressing room.
"Evil little pixie," I grumbled. The door to the dressing room opened back up and out stepped Alice in a cowgirl outfit. She had on her jeans but with chaps on and a belt around her waist containing two toy guns. She had on a vest and a red handkerchiref around her neck. To top it off, she was also wearing a pink cowgirl hat. She walked towards me again but stopped in front of me this time.
"Howdy." She murmered in her best southern drawl which earned a chuckle from me.
"Hey there, cowgirl. You lost?" I played along.
"I think so." She said stepping closer to me. "Think you can help me out?"
"That just depends," Smiling I continued. "What do I get in return?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
She thought for a moment then rested her hands on her hips. "I'll show you my guns." She said seductively, then winked running off again. I chuckled even louder. Being with Alice made everything better. I had almost forgotten what had happened just before we left to come here but now wasn't the time to ponder about Rachel. Tonight was going to be great and I was planning on putting all my focus solely on the beautiful girl in that dressing room putting only god knows what on. She stepped out again and at the sight of her I had to squeeze my legs together. I could hear as a shopping cart run into something more than likely because the person directing it, noticed the fine ass girl walking towards me in the sultry maids outfit. She once again straddled me but this time from where the dress was so short, her black lace underwear were seen by me. I instantly wrapped my arms around her not even caring that Mike Newton and his group of friends from school were watching. Her eyes darkened as I brought my hands back to myself slowly scraping them against her bare thighs. She whimpered and leaned into my neck, kissing my pulse point.
"Lets get out of here," She whispered trying to contain her hunger. Which hunger that might be, I had no idea. Not fully trusting my voice i just nodded my head and she took off back to the dressing room. I took deep breaths to recompose myself, then stood up. Alice came out of the dressing room, her eyes still dark but not like before. As we were walking to the counter, I could make out the hushed whispers. Stuff like 'Bella's gay?" "who knew?" "who's her girlfriend?" and more. Alice heard them too but she just got a smug grin on her face and intertwined our hands together. I smiled back at her, grateful for taking my hand. One thing was for certain, things at school on Monday would be quite interesting. The drive back to my house was silent, but not the awkward silence that I was used to sharing with people. Alice had scooted next to me in the truck, resting one hand on my thigh. I swerved a little and heard her giggle. I mentally cursed myself for letting her see the effect she had on me even with the simplest touch.

Alice and I had put up the decorations out front and had candy ready to hand out for when the kids starting showing up. We were now just waiting in the kitchen making small talk. I jumped onto the counter fixing to eat a red starburst from the huge candy basket. I noticed her glancing at my lips and I wondered if she was wanting another kiss as bad I was. She initiated the first kiss now it was my turn. I bit my lip and made my decision.
"Come here," I informed her, motioning her with my finger. Her eyes glazed over for merely a second but the smirk on her lips told me she knew exactly what was fixing to happen.
I wrapped my arms securely around her neck as her slim arms encircled my waist. For a moment I considered backing out but looking into her honey colored eyes and inhaling the deep scent of strawberry vanilla, I realized that I couldn't simply back out. So I brought my face to hers and our lips connected. She lightly nibbled on my lip which got a moan out of me and she tightened her grip, putting my legs around her waist. Soon my tongue was tracing her lip asking for permission. She quickly complied, her mouth parting and our tongues swirled around each other. My hands found their way into her silky black hair but sadly my need for oxygen took over and I seperated from her. We sat there silently both breathing deeply. She started making intricate designs on the skin of my back causing a shudder to go through me. She smiled and moved her hair brushing a piece of hair behind my ear.
"I'm ready to finish that conversation we were having in the car." I said.
"Oh yeah?" She asked playfully.
"Yeah.."
"Well before you say anything else... Hold on a second. Okay?" She asked. I was confused but answered with an okay.
She mumbled a be right back and left out the front door at vampire speed. It didn't take her long and she returned carrying what looked like a bouqet of flowers. She handed them to me and sure enough thats what they were. They had white edges with light purple on the inside and the very middle was purple.
"There anemones'," She said as I was still admiring the beautiful flowers. "And there is only eleven because I heard that was favorite number."
"You heard correct." I said looking at her. This was the most thoughtful thing anyone had ever done for me.
"I love that you got these, but why did you?" I asked.
She looked down at her hands in a shy like manner. I tilted her chin back up with my finger until she was looking into my eyes.
"I was kind of wondering... If maybe... You'd like to go out? Like as my girlfriend?" She asked. If she was still human she would be blushing a deep crimson.
"..." I started to answer when the door bell rang. I smiled and grabbed the candy basket.
"Come on." I murmered, "once again, we'll continue this later." She smiled and followed after me. We opened the door and three kids screamed 'trick or treat!' One was Buzz lightyear, one was Batman, and the other was Cinderella.
"Happy Halloween," Alice and I murmered together, handing the kids each some candy.
A/N: Welp. There's another chapter, folks. Let me know what you all think. Yeah, its not Halloween yet but I figured you all would want the update now rather than later, right?
Also for anyone who caught on, Alice seen the kiss between Bella and Rachel in the last chapter, but it wasn't until I was writing this chapter that I decided to make Rachel a shifter so please just look over that little detail in the last chapter. I'm sorry if I confused anyone.
Hope you all are enjoying the fic still and have a great Halloween.
