Chapter 9: Sugar

Bella

I was looking forward to our impromptu shopping trip. It would kind of give Jasper, Renesmee, and I a chance to get new clothes and start over. I felt kind of daring today and I wanted to relieve some stress and get clothes that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. While I was thinking about all of this, we pulled up to the mall in Port Angeles. I didn't really mind the idea of shopping with all of them if I was being honest I would have to say that I was looking forward to it.

Peter pulled into the parking lot and we chose a spot inbetween the front and back of the parking lot. We all got out and started towards the building. Peter and Char were leading our little group then Renesmee and Jacob holding hands and then lastly, Jasper and I.

"Why are you so excited?" He asked obviously feeling my excitement.

"I am just kind of excited for the three of us," I said motioning towards him, myself, and Ness, "We almost get to start over even if it's just clothes, ya know?"

"Yeah, I get what you are sayin' not bein' controlled by anyone anymore. Kind of make our own style for once huh?" He said letting more of accent show.

"That's exactly right." I replied and he put an arm around my shoulder. The gesture was purely friendly but the thoughts I was having were anything but. We got into the mall and Jasper went right into some kind of western clothing store. I chuckled but followed him in. Renesmee and Jacob followed and then Peter and Char came right after.

Jasper grabbed a few things and then went into the dressing room. The rest of us followed suit.

"How about we make a show of this and all come out at the same time?" Peter shouted over the wall. We all laughed but agreed. Jazz whistled quietly letting us know he was done and right after so was I. Peter and Charlotte were done next and then Jake and Ness. We all stepped out at the same time. We looked like we had stepped out of a marlboro commercial.

Jasper was looking fantastic in a black fitted tee and suede jacket with a dark brown stetson and faded jeans with gorgeous black boots. Peter stepped out wearing chaps and jeans with a ten gallon hat and tan boots. Char looked adorable in a black cowgirl jacket and a skirt with those strings hanging from it and high heeled boots. Renesmee looked cute in a simple brown tee and jean jacket with loose fitting pants and flat boots. Jacob had on a traditional native american jacket and pants and he looked quite handsome. I couldn't take my eyes from Jasper and it looked like he was equally enjoying his view of me. I had grabbed a cute tight min jean skirt and a white tank top and dark brown boots and a dark brown hat. He looked impressed. I laughed and he projected my happiness to the rest of the group and we all started laughing.

"We are definitely getting these." Peter said and we all nodded.

We all went back in the dressing room and changed back into our original clothes. I grabbed a few more outfits with the same look and went to the register. I motioned for Ness and Jake and paid for theirs. Peter paid for his and Char's and Jasper hadn;t come to the register yet.

"Jazz, you coming with?" I asked. He shook his head no.

"Oh, well, okay, we are going to go to the next store, meet us there?" I asked.

"Yeah, in about five okay?" He answered and I nodded and the rest of us went to the store next to it. This one seemed to have a more girly feel to it. I dared peter to grab the first dress he seen and try it on and he did. He went into the dressing room area and when he came out we all busted out laughing at him. He managed to find the frilliest most pink dress I had ever seen.

"You look like Glenda the good witch." Char said. Before he good grab it I had pulled my phone out and snapped a few pictures. He scowled and went back into the dressing room. I didn't see anything that I liked so I went to help Renesmee.

She had picked out a few pairs of nice lounge pants, a couple pairs of capris, and two elastic waistband skirts. When I told her that would probably be enough bottoms we headed over to the tops and dresses. She picked out a couple of dresses that came with matching leggings and a few t-shirts that would be too large right now but more comfortable as her pregnancy progressed. I hadn't noticed Jasper walk in but I heard him chuckling and turned to see Char showing him the pictures of Peter.

I paid for Renesmee's things and then Char paid for hers and again we went to the next store. That one was a little bit more revealing on the women's side and a little more formal on the men's. We of course seperated our group and me and Char went one way while Peter and Jazz went another. Jacob and Renesmee went to get something to eat while we shopped here.

Char and I had grabbed quite a bit and decided to head into the dressing rooms. The first outfit I tried on was a black sequined halter top and a micro-mini black pleather skirt. I stepped out and Char had a matching red outfit, we nodded at each other and went back in to try on the next thing. I came out in a short micro-mini blood red dress that was strapless and had a cut-out on each side from top to bottom. Char came out wearing a cute blue halter-dress that stopped mid-thigh. We told each other how great we looked and went back in. After five more similar incidents we had our arms full and went to the checkout counter followed quickly by a chuckling Jasper and Peter.

We all checked out and decided to find Jake and Ness. We went to the food court which smelled disgusting to me but we found them quickly and we all decided to head out because Renesmee was getting tired and needed her rest. We all carried our stuff back to the van and took off towards home. When we got there Jacob quickly left and Renesmee went up to bed.

Peter, Jazz, Char, and I all went out for a quick hunt after putting away all of our clothing. We hunted for a couple of hours and met back up near a small stream just at the edge of our property. We sat there for about three more hours and decided to head home and clean up.

When we got there I went straight to my room to take a shower. I got my shower done and then went into my room for some clothes. I looked in my closet and saw only things that Edward and Alice had picked out for me and I immediately chucked it all out the window. I heard Peter laughing downstairs but I didn't care it felt good. I soon after heard Jasper doing the same thing to all the clothes Alice had picked out for him. I grabbed the blood red mini dress and some stilettos I had bought to go with it, and headed back into the bathroom to fix my hair. I straightened it completely out and put it up pompadore style in the front and let it hang down my back. I put on some bright red lipstick and some black eye shadow and eyeliner and for once I put on some mascara and headed downstairs. I looked like I was going to a club but I felt sexy for once.

I got down there and I guess Peter knew what I was going to dress in and him and Char were dressed like they were going to a club too. I went down and into the kitchen. Peter and Char were in the living room dancing to some sexy music when I heard Jasper come in. He was dressed in a black button up and black jeans with black boots and a black tie. He looked fantastic and from the look on his face I did too.

We both smiled at each other and went into the living room where Peter had set up a night club atmosphere. We went in and Jasper took my hand and let me to our impromptu dance floor. I laughed but followed. I was a little unsure of myself but let my hips move to the music with him behind me.
