I know it's been a while, but I was facing a writer's block concerning this story, but today it seemed to finally walk on its own.
Expect fluff ahead.
Alex
"You know what we need in this house, a hot tub" I said examining an unused room downstairs "Or a wine cellar, but since we cannot drink wine a hot tub can do"
"A hot tub would be inconsequential Alex, we're vampires, cold, hot is the same difference to us" said Jasper, who was next to me, I frowned.
"Have you been told that you are a killjoy?" I asked looking at him; he smiled at me.
"Several times by you actually" he said cheekily.
"Killjoy" I muttered under my breath, he chuckled.
"But we can get the hot tub if it makes you happy" said Edward coming to stand next to Jasper, I grinned at him.
"And we could have one of those wild teenage parties with booze and stuff" I said excitedly, Jasper shook his head and took a sip of a cup that he was holding.
"Prom is in a few days, be content with that" he said, I rolled my eyes at him.
"Prom will be extremely awkward, I swear to you, Mike will probably make a fool of himself while he tries to woo Bella Swan and Tyler will probably punch him, Eric already asked Angela, I swear that if he breaks her heart human or not he's dead" I said, Jasper laughed.
"You and your weird attachment to that human"
"Is called having friends J, you should try it sometimes, besides humans are friends not food" I said solemnly, Edward laughed as we walked back upstairs, Alice jumped on us, literally dressed in baseball garb.
"There will be a storm today, you know what that means, right?" she asked cheerfully, I smiled at her.
"I get to be an adorable cheerleader and stand in the sidelines while you guys play?" I replied, she laughed and grabbed me by the arm.
An hour later we were in a clearing, I was sure we were closer to Canada by this point, while Edward assured me that we were actually pretty close to Forks. I was dressed in skinny jeans and tennis shoes with a white Henley that had Cullen spelled on the back and a number 5, which was Edward's number. I stood close to Esme as I umpired the game. We played for a few minutes before Alice stood stiffly, I exchanged glances with Esme.
"It seems that we have visitors," said Emmett coming to stand next to me.
"You know, if you do that whoever is coming might think that there is something wrong with me" I said, Emmett raised an eyebrow.
"Well apart from you being my little sister? We have to protect you and your weird ways" he said with a smirk.
"Right" I said, from the trees three figures appeared, I tilted my head "Are those the Black Eyed Peas?" I asked Emmett, who laughed.
"Alex, no" he said trying not to laugh; I laughed too. Carlisle approached them and they seemed to exchange words, Carlisle then turned to us.
"They want to join a game, if you're up for it" he said, I smiled brightly and approached them handing them blood pops, I could sense Edward's gaze on me, the newcomers were a bit baffled by our acceptance.
Victoria with her red hair and slightly sociopathic ways was almost pleasant to be around, while James and Laurent were more or less mindless followers of the redhead.
"It's almost a miracle how you manage to live amongst the humans" Victoria said after ending the game, we were all sitting on the ground exchanging stories of our pasts.
"Awe come on, its not like its that hard, I mean we were all human once, its about patience actually" I said offhandedly.
"You all make it sound so easy" said Laurent, I shrugged and huddled closer to Edward. "We appreciate you letting us stay with you, but we must be going" he said standing, Victoria and James stood too. We all stood.
"It was nothing, really, its pleasant to have visitors every once in a while" said Carlisle shaking his hand "Please do try not to hunt in the nearby towns, we have a pact with a pack of wolves that prohibit us to do so in the area" Carlisle explained, the three nomadic vampires nodded.
We returned to home, the others left just after we said our goodbyes, although I could tell that Edward was not completely okay with the visitors, it was after much prompting that I learned that he was actually slightly jealous of Laurent's thoughts regarding me, I snorted and told him that I was not going to dump him for a Will. wanna be so we were okay on that front.
The next few days at school were a breeze as students were more concerned about prom than about actual classes so teachers more or less had given up on trying to teach something. For the upcoming weekend I successfully enlisted Rose and Alice to visit Port Angeles with me and Angela so we could get our prom dresses.
"I don't know Angie, try the green one" I said from my stool, Alice handed Angela a green dress that Rosalie had been holding.
"I'm ready to give up Alex, nothing here really gets me" Angela said, I rolled my eyes.
"Let's trust Rose's superior knowledge, besides we've never seen her with a hair out of place" I said and winked at Rosalie, who smiled at me, Angela looked at Alice who smiled at her.
"If you never try it you'll never know" Alice said, Angela sighed before going into the changing room once again.
"How about you Alex? Have you thought about your prom dress?" asked Rose while she eyed some dresses on a rack; I shrugged.
"I don't know, I mean, I have a dress back home that might serve the purpose" I said thinking about a pretty lilac dress that I had seen in my closet.
"Blasphemy! You need a brand new dress for prom" said Alice, standing next to Rose.
"Alice is right, besides Alex, we're already here" said Rose as she pulled out a sparkly dark blue dress. She showed to Alice and she smiled.
"It's perfect" Alice confirmed after a few seconds, I couldn't help but to roll my eyes at them. A few moments later Angela walked out of the dresser, I smiled widely at her.
"Eric will go crazy" I said with a sly grin, Angela giggled.
"I feel like a fairy princess" she said, I laughed.
"Well your name literally translates to Angel, so were not that far from there" I said as I winked to her.
We shopped for a little while after finding the dresses, as we needed shoes and jewelry to match, after dropping Angela home we returned to our place, Rosalie immediately disappeared to find Emmett while Alice and I carried the bags inside.
Edward was in my room, up on my bed with a book in his hands, he smiled when he saw me walk in and put the book down.
"The Hobbit? I never thought you were a fan Eddy-boy" I said as I placed my bags in my closet, I walked back into the room and he had a smirk on his face.
"Well I need to know those dwarves and elves you talk about, don't I?" he asked, I laughed and went to join him, I snuggled up to him.
"Nah, you're way better" I said placing a kiss to his jaw, "You know, Tyler invited me to prom" I said, Edward raised an eyebrow.
"Really now? And what did you say?" he asked.
"Well he was so lovely, but I had to politely turn him down as I'm waiting for a special someone to invite me" I said as I pressed another kiss to his skin. Edward hummed appreciatively.
"Do you think he'll invite you?" he asked, I giggled.
"I sure hope so, its my first prom and he, this guy, is really handsome, although sometimes he seems like a stuck up prat" I said, Edward pressed a kiss to my hair.
"He seems nice" he said after a while, I nodded.
That night we stayed there contently laying in each other's grasp, I also remembered that I totally missed my sleeping hours. Next morning Edward left early saying that he had something to do, I shrugged him off and drove with Jasper and Alice to school, a little unknown fact about Jasper was that he knew all of Destiny's Child songs by heart and loved to sing along with me as I drove us to school while Alice watched helplessly from the backseat. Another thing about Jasper was that he totally knew how to harmonize while singing 'Say my name' and that he was probably Beyoncé's number one fan. We walked into the building in between laughs.
"Never again" said Alice in between giggles.
"Awe come on, Jasper and I are just devoted Beyonce fans, in a few years you'll have us dancing around to Queen Bey" I said, Alice shook her head while Jasper smirked "Mark my words Alice, the BeyHive is just beginning"
"Please don't, nothing against her, but I cannot imagine you two in a couple of years totally obsessed with her" she said, I grinned.
"Don't worry Alice, you wont have to imagine it, you will live it" I said high-fiving Jasper, Alice groaned and we both laughed "Well infidels, I'll be back" I said all serious as I left them to walk to my first class, I could hear them both laughing in the distance.
Classes that they were as boring as usual, Edward saved me a seat in the classes we shared and kissed me before joining the others at lunch while I stayed with Angela and the other kiddoes. After classes, Jasper and Alice both came and told me that they were leaving with Rose and Emmett, I shrugged it off and decided to walk to my car, what I was not expecting was the sight that greeted me there.
Edward cladded in a tuxedo holding a bouquet of blue roses with a cardboard sign that read 'will you go to prom with me' in perfect calligraphy, he looked like an idiot, so out place, I loved it.
"Well?" he asked when I reached him; I smiled goofily at him and stood on my tip toes so I could kiss him.
"Does that answers your question Mr. Cullen?" I asked a smile on my face, he smirked.
"Of course Miss Noir" he said and bent his head down to steal another kiss.
We left before the teachers arrived and berated us for public displays of affection on school grounds, besides we didn't need the school to call Carlisle on our account. When we arrived home there was no one there, I looked at Edward and grinned, I quickly placed the roses on a crystal vase and scribbled a fast 'YES' on the cardboard with lipstick, Edward gave me a look and I just smirked before going into my room, leaving the door slightly open. Needless to say that he followed after several seconds and even more needless to say that next day saw me ordering yet another bed.
