I would just like to say, in my alternate universe:
1. Vampires don't sparkle. Think of the logic, the sun is out all the time, even when hidden by clouds. They would have to be in a town where the sky was pitch black for it to them not to sparkle. The Sun just hurts their skin a little. More so for newborns. I'm playing off Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire series for some of this.
2. They cry real tears, okay? Okay.
3. Their skin is cool/cold, but not hard as marble.
4. A vampire dude CAN'T knock a human up, okay?
5. ...They still have blood in their veins. I'll be nice and let the vampire dudes still get a hard on.
That's it. :)
Both the kiss and the dream out of her mind, Bella continued on with her life. She tried not to get too annoyed at Edward when he suggested something that he knew she hated. Didn't he know? She also tried not to even glance at Rosalie, let alone think of her. It wasn't that hard, really. She never went over to the Cullen house. Avoiding confrontation and being in ignorant bliss was fine as far as Bella was concerned.
However, her fool proof plan didn't last very long as Alice stood in front of the human. You would think it would be hard to glare at someone who was a foot taller than you, but the vampire managed. Bella leaned backwards as Alice stared her down...or, technically, up.
Alice turned away furiously and gestured towards her left. "You either come over to our house, or I give you a new wardrobe."
Bella weighed the options. She hated the way Alice poked at prodded at her sense of fashion. Bella didn't care about style, she cared about comfort. And she was perfectly comfortable.
Alice was insistent that Bella visit her family. Esme and Emmett missed her, and it would be a little awkward going over to Bella's when Charlie didn't even know Bella was dating a Cullen.
Bella sighed and finally caved. "Let's go."
Alice smiled smugly and practically dragged Bella to the car.
Once Bella sat down Esme was already offering Bella cookies.
"I haven't cooked any human food. You have to tell me your honest opinion."
Emmett was on the other side of her, cracking jokes.
"Bella, listen to this, so this dad walks in on his son masturbating, right?..."
Bella laughed and ate cookies politely, all the while ignoring the blonde as best she could.
Rosalie couldn't help but smirk as she stood in the corner. The fondness she had grown for the human vanished over mere hours. She loved thinking back to the kiss, waiting for the perfect moment to shove it in Edward's face.
The blonde watched as Bella blushed and giggled. She munched on cookies and didn't complain when Esme offered more less the edible food. She looked uncomfortably at her and Edward's joined hands, but didn't make a move to pull away. She let Edward pull her up stairs, smiling apologetically in the others directions.
So polite and kind. Rosalie would gag if she could.
Bella walked down the stairs, after insisting Edward that, yes, she could walk to the kitchen to grab a drink. Bella gasped when Rosalie appeared casually behind her.
"H-Hi."
Rosalie rolled her eyes. She didn't get what Edward saw in the human. She stuttered and fumbled. She wasn't even really that pretty. "Bella."
Bella couldn't deny that Rosalie was beautiful. You would have to be blind not to know. It was also normal that a vampire would overwhelm you, especially one as gorgeous as the blonde in front of her. But why was her heart beating so fast? It didn't do this with Edward. Fear, nerves, that must be it. Rosalie was terrifying. That was it.
Okay, so maybe Rosalie was lying to herself. Bella wasn't very pretty. She was average, but her kind heart shined through her appearance and made Bella look like a Goddess. Rosalie wanted to suck the human dry for giving her these very human feelings. Stupid human.
However, even with these very confusing thoughts, Rosalie couldn't make herself move. It made her laugh at how flustered the human was.
Edward stood by his sister's side in a second. He sent Rosalie a glare for scaring his girlfriend, or maybe it was her thoughts. Either way Rosalie didn't care. She sent a smirk towards the couple and abruptly left.
"Just ignore Rosalie. That's what I do." Edward said.
Bella couldn't be more thankful that he couldn't read her mind. Because if he could, she would be six feet under from dying of humiliation. Why, you ask? Because no matter how hard Bella tried, she couldn't get Rosalie out of her mind. Even when she wasn't in the room she commanded attention.
"Stupid vampire." Bella muttered, although that wasn't what she was thinking. Bitch.
"What was that?" Edward asked, even though he heard her.
Bella looked up innocently. "Nothing."
That was the last time Bella would allow herself to acknowledge the beautiful blonde. Or at least, she hoped.
Bitch.
Alice let out a terrifying screech as she was pulled out of her vision. In a human's blink, her whole family stood in her large bedroom. Jasper was by her side, cradling her to his chest.
"What did you see?"
Alice didn't stray away from Emmett. She was at a loss for words. "You...you....You cheating bastard!"
Emmett blinked in surprise. "What'd I do?"
"You cheated on Rosalie, you bastard!...Or you're going to! Bastard!"
Rosalie scoffed and rolled her eyes. It took them twenty-something years to finally figure it out. Sometimes she wished she could just strangle her oblivious family. But, like she had said, they were oblivious, and they wouldn't know why they were being strangled.
"Dumbasses." Rosalie muttered.
"W-With a human, no less!"
Emmett stared at her before exploding into laughter. When he finally died down he shook his head sadly.
After the years he had learned to get over what had happened. Emmett wasn't a grudge holder when it came to his ex-wife. He realized that she was, indeed, right. He wished he felt romantic feelings towards her, that's why they had had sex...constantly. They were both trying to convince themselves of the love, but in all honesty, Emmett was the child Rosalie had always wanted.
Edward's eyes widened. "Alice...they aren't together anymore."
"What?" Alice demanded. "No! No, no, no! This isn't right! You two are mates!"
Carlisle nodded in agreement. "Have you two tried to talk about it?"
Esme smiled. "I'm sure it'll pass in a few hours. God knows that nothing can keep you two apart."
Rosalie was stuck between wanting to scream in frustration, and rolling her eyes. She did both. Her eyes looked up at the ceiling, and then back to her family as she let out a shriek of annoyance.
"We aren't mates." Rosalie growled.
"Don't be ridiculous." Alice retorted. She looked towards Jasper for confirmation.
He could only shrug. "I don't dare touch their feelings. I'm always afraid I'll..." he didn't finish for the sake of his 'parents'.
"No." Alice said firmly. "No! This isn't right! You two are supposed to last forever! You two were made for each other! Admit it!"
Emmett and Rosalie didn't say anything.
"I said, admit it, dammit!"
Rosalie sighed. "I think I would know if Emmett was my mate or not, Alice. I don't love him like that. He's like a child to me."
"Hey!" Emmett huffed, insulted. "I'm like a brother."
Rosalie let him have his way. "Fine, a brother. A younger brother. A baby brother."
Emmett scrunched up his face in annoyance, but dropped it.
"No," Alice whined. "We're supposed to all be mated off! This isn't how it was supposed to happen!"
"I'm sure they'll work it out." Esme repeated.
"Yes." Carlisle said. "They'll be together in no time, Alice. Don't worry."
Rosalie let out a hiss. She knew if she stayed any longer, somebody in her oh so perfect family would be laying in a heap of limbs. She couldn't control her actions. It wasn't her fault if she accidentally lit a match and dropped it on them.
She backed out of the room and ran as fast as she could. She jumped on the poor bear that was unfortunate enough to cross her path. She poured her anger into drinking the animal's blood. It let out a roar, trying desperately to save it's life. Rosalie growled herself and shoved away the carcass.
The anger still boiled inside of her. Her family was so dense. They had been broken up for years. They didn't kiss, or hug, they didn't touch unless it was playfully. They didn't question why. They didn't stare in one each others eyes liked the rest of her love-sick family. But once it let out that they were finished with, Alice had the audacity to say that they should be together for the sake of their perfect little family's image.
Rosalie stood on front of the porch of the human. It was early enough to be there. She wanted to yell at herself for deciding to go to the stupid human's house, but she had already knocked and Bella was already answering.
The blonde's eyes immediately noticed how she was wearing only sweat pants and a ratty sweatshirt. She also noticed how she looked adorable in it. But she didn't dwell on it and stared at Bella expectantly.
Bella was tempted to close the door and pretend it didn't happen. This was what had been haunting her. The vampire couldn't stay out of her thoughts, and apparently out of her social life, either. Bella sighed, knowing if Rosalie really wanted to talk to her, she would break down the door. That would be hard to explain to Charlie. She opened the door widely and pushed Rosalie up to her room.
To say that Bella was shocked when she closed the door and the vampire broke down in tears, would be an understatement. Bella stood in her room, not sure if Rosalie would smack her away if she tried to help. She had a lot of experience with emotional women. Before Renee had gotten remarried, she would date, often. It always ended with a broken heart, that heart being her mother's. Usually all it took was chocolate or ice cream. What do you offer a vampire? Blood? She almost reached out her wrist just so she would stop crying.
Bella let out a sigh and walked over to her bed and pulled Rosalie into a hug.
"Don't cry." she murmured. "You'll ruin your shirt."
"I don't give a shit about my shirt."
Bella looked at the very expensive piece of material. The very thin shirt. She looked away and let Rosalie cry onto her shoulder.
Rosalie felt embarrassed, for crying. It was even worse that she was crying over something so stupid. But the fact that she was crying on a human's shoulder? Humiliating.
"What happened?" Bella asked.
And that's when Rosalie let it all pour out. The fact that her family were perfectionist that only cared about their reputation. The fact that she was a vampire. And the fact that the guilt of leaving Emmett ate at her heart, every day.
Bella didn't comment, but brushed the wet strands of Rosalie's hair out of her eyes. She wiped away the tears and even, jokingly, offered to pour some of her blood on some chocolate. Deluxe package for a vampire.
Rosalie laughed weakly at her bad joke. She thanked Bella, and swore that she never speak of this, to anyone. Bella knew she had to take it seriously, so she stared up into Rosalie's eyes and very firmly said, "It's our secret."
Bella searched her amber eyes. Was this taking advantage of her? A vampire in such a weak state. Probably not, because from what Edward had mentioned, vampires couple think of multiple things at once. If Rosalie wanted to, she could push her away.
Bella stood up higher, wrapped her arms around Rosalie's neck, and touched her lips with her.
Damn, was all Bella could think (Besides, 'Holy crap her lips feel amazing') when Rosalie responded to the kiss in a very positive way, I'm definitely gay.
I probably should have waited longer to post this, but I'm so damn impatient! Like, super impatient. But I'm thirteen, gimme a break. Yes, thirteen. Proceed with the, "HOLY CRAP!" reviews. It's happened on a couple other of my stories, so...Heh, yeah. :)
VvV
To finish Emmett's joke, "Didya hear about the father that walked in on his son masturbating? He said, 'Son, if you keep masturbating, you'll go blind.'
"The son replied with, 'Uh...Dad? I'm...I'm over here.'"
To finish Jasper's sentence, "I don't dare touch their feelings. I'm always afraid I'll hump the fucking shit out of whomever's near me."
VvV
Please, review, for me? For Rosalie? For Bella? For Bellalie? ^_^
