Chapter Ten

No Joke Cherry Coke!

Edward's Pov

Once I got Bella home,safely,we were ambushed by Alice and the others. Alice saw conflict between me and an unknown boy right after I had left. Apparently with Jacob being a werewolf,she didn't see what he looked like. It was a little blurry for her to full understand. Bella just huffed and walked right passed the family,going up to our room. I had to say,I hated it when she was angry.

One look at Bella's sudden anger made everyone realize that her and I had to have a moment alone. I assured everyone that everything will be perfectly fine and that she will be down in a matter of minutes with a grin on her face.

I rushed upstairs and closed the door behind me. Bella was sitting on the edge of the couch,holding one of the books I had bought her not too long ago. She had an interest in books about vampires,and that sort of intrigued me.

"Bella,love...." I whispered,walking over to where she was sitting. She remained silent and continued staring at the book in her hands. She was now wearing a light blue,silk night gown that Alice bought her the other day. Bella at first had no idea why she needed night clothes,but found that they were really comforting after a long day in jeans and with the rain.

I sat down beside her and propped my chin in the palm of my hand. She was beautiful when she was reading. She held that sophisticated look,even though she was already smart. "Bella,love. We need to talk about a few things." I slowly reached out and closed her book in her hands. Her head snapped up with a glare. If looks could kill a person,and I mean REALLY kill a person...I wouldn't be talking at the moment.

"I was reading that,Edward." Her voice wasn't harsh,but it held anger. I took the book from her hands and placed it on the couch seat beside me.

"Bella,did you know Jacob was a werewolf?" I figured it was about time we started the conversation. Why not start out with something as simple as that question?

She stared at me with a hocked expression. "No I didn't. I didn't even know werewolves even existed." She pulled her long hair up in a messy bun and turned to look at me. Her pale features against her light blue night gown was really beautiful. She really did look like an angel.

I nodded at her statement and placed my hand on top of hers. "Alright,love. Thats a start." I then rose my eyebrow at her. "Wait,you knew there were vampires but yet,you didn't know a thing about werewolves?" I had to muffle my own laughter as her face scrunched up in a shocked manner.

"No Mr. Know it all. I didn't know there were werewolves,okay? James never mentioned them. I have brought up the subject before,but he never really told me anything." She crossed her arms over her chest and stared at the floor. She was trying to be stubborn. It was kind of cute.

"Bella,I'm trying to have a serious talk with you."

"And I'm trying to understand everything! Just because I'm a vampire....He said he couldn't be my friend. What is that about?!" She was now standing in front of me,pacing around the room. I wanted to try and enlighten the mood but something was telling me not to make one of my smart comments at the moment. Then she continued. Her nerves getting the best of her. "I mean.....I didn't want my friendship with him to get fucked up like that."

I was astonished. I had never heard that word come out of her mouth like that. Sure I have heard her say other words,but 'fuck' wasn't one of them. That word coming out of her mouth was like a cat eating a dog. Unbelievable.

"He is a werewolf,love. Its in our nature to hate each other. Of course,with my family its a tad different. We are allowed to stay in this state as long as we don't hunt humans or cross the La'Push boarder. Jacob's pack members have probably told each other stories about how my family came to being here. Most of those stories are lies. But only a few are true. " I sighed and brushed back my nappy hair with my hand. This was a little harder to explain than I thought.

Bella resumed her spot beside me. "So no matter what I say,Jacob and I can't be friends?" Her voice cracked. I had forgotten what one loses once they are a vampire. They lose their family and friends.

"That depends on him. If he allows it,then you shall be friends. I can't speak for him,Bella." She took a deep unneeded breath and nodded her head slowly. She seemed better with this information. "Now you know why Jacob acted that way."

Bella's Pov

Hearing this stuff was a little earth shattering,but I could manage. It wasn't the end of the world and I'm really tired of being sad and upset all the time. I have a new life now and nobody,not even Jacob,can prevent myself from being happy.

"I understand why....But why do you and Jacob seem to not like one another? You didn't do anything to him and he didn't do anything to you." I had noticed how Edward and Jacob reacted once they were in talking distance from each other.

Edward's soft chuckle was like music to my ears. "Lovely Bella,didn't you hear what I said earlier?"

"Yes,but I don't fully understand that part. I mean,you and Jacob can still be friends. Just because you two are sworn to be enemies,doesn't mean you have to be." I had a point there. They could at least try and be friends for my sake.

Edward shook his head slowly. "No,love. That won't work. There is a little emotion that is new to me and it seems to emerge in Jacob as well. Its called jealousy."

"Jealousy?" I said the word as if it was unbelievable and that Ive never heard of it. How could they be jealous of each other? It was quite humorous if you asked me.

"Yes,jealousy. And to be honest I do not enjoy that feeling." His facial features were as smooth as granite. He was serious about this....

"Edward,you just met him. How can you be-" But he cut me off.

"Because,Bella,I am a guy who loves what is sitting next to him. I don't know what kind of relationship my love had with that mutt." He smiled my favorite crooked smile. Did he honestly think me and Jacob actually had something?

I had to laugh at that idea. Jacob had been nothing but a really good,best friend. Sure,I love him....But it was a sister,brother love. Nothing more.

"Edward,I assure you....Nothing ever happened between me and Jacob." I had to cover my mouth to hold in the little girl like giggle that was trying to emerge.

"Thats a relief." He wiped off fake sweat from his forehead.

At least now I knew that Jacob and I wouldn't be able to be like we use to. Sitting around on the couch,teasing and joking around with each other. We would go our separate ways. I could manage that. As long as he's well safe and out of everyone's hair.

Edward and I maintained that kind of conversation. Only being serious when we needed to be. Other then that was smooth sailing and talking about something random and enjoyable. We went on for hours and hours on end. We had lost track of the time until the sunlight peeked through our curtains.

"Its morning already?" I asked out loud. It was meant to be an inner thought,but obviously my big mouth wasn't cooperating with my mind at the moment.

"Appears so." Edward sat up from his laying position on the couch and stretch out his arms. "I hadn't realized we have been talking for so long. It seems like I can never stop talking while your around." He smirked and kissed my temple.

Now I was going to attempt my dull and unworthy excuse,"Well its not my fault. Your the one who started the talking."I shrugged and grabbed a black sweater from the small box of clothing that I had yet been able to unpack. I took off my light blue night gown and slipped my sweater on,pulling a pair of denim jeans on afterwards.

Edward was standing by the window,looking out onto the back yard. "Bella,I'm sorry."

His question bothered me. "Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything wrong." I walked over to him and encircled my arms around his waist. This right here felt so right. Being this close to him should be against the law.

I felt Edward shake with amusement. "Your wrong,love. Your about to go through one hell of a day." Okay,who bonked him on the head?

"What do you-"

"BELLA!!!!" Alice's voice sang from down the hall. "SHOPPING TIME!!!!" She yelled.

My eyes went wide as I glared at Edward. "What did you do?!" I hissed through clenched teeth.

"Nothing. It was her idea to spend time with you. After all,she has grown attached to you. When we got home,I heard what she was thinking. She was thinking about a shopping trip." He shrugged and kissed the top of my head.

The door opened and Alice came dancing in gracefully. "Bella,are you ready?" Her eyes looked like two light bulbs on a Christmas tree. So big and bright. The topaz color wasn't helping with my turning her down. "I know what your going to say already. So save your breath and put your shoes on. Seattle here we come!"

"What? Seattle....Alice,I can't....Humans!" My words were coming out all jumbled together. But they had to know I wasn't ready for the city. I had a heck of a time going to see Charlie. How could I manage a whole city compared to a little town of Forks.

Alice rolled her beautiful doll like eyes at me and shook her head. "Bella,what part of psychic don't you understand? I saw your future. Your going to do perfectly fine. Now,get those shoes on!" She pointed to the boots she bought me. I slowly slid them onto my feet and stomped on the ground a few times,making sure they were on right. I don't know what part of my clothing section she didn't buy me. She bought everything I owned,basically.

I gave Edward a pleading look. "Edward,please help...." I gave him my saddest face I could muster.

He stroked my cheek with the back of his hand,sending a jolt of electricity go throughout my body. "Sorry,love. Alice is...Well,she's Alice. You can't defy her. Her taking revenge on a person is the worse thing that could ever happen to someone." He laughed. "Go easy on her,Alice. Please? I don't want my girlfriend to come home in pure terror."

Alice giggled and grabbed my hand. "No worries,Edward. She's in good hands!" And with that,she started to drag me out of the room.

My gaze went to Edward in a plead. "Ha,nice one Edward. Nothing is as frightening as shopping with someone who would give Frankenstein himself fashion advice!"

"Oh don't be silly Bella. Frankenstein doesn't exist. Now the Loch Ness Monster on the other hand,is a different story." Alice giggled once again and led me down the stairs. Wait....She was kidding about that,right?


There you have it guys. This chapter was a lot of fun to write. I'm talking about the whole Alice situation. I could imagine Alice doing everything like that! Review!!!!
