CHAPTER 10: "NEW LOOK"

BELLA

[Still Sunday...]

After Jacob's phone call, I quickly ran out the house and headed over to the Cullen's.

I had the beast give it all it had. I think I may have even broken 60 mph. I was just so aggravated with what just happened, I didn't want to be anywhere near my house phone if Jacob decided to call back.

Because just the thought of him having access to me in any way, had me feeling uneasy.

When I arrived at the Cullen house, I found Alice pretending to look apologetic. But that grin she was trying to hide more or less gave her away.

And I thought I was a bad actor.

"Looking good Bella" Alice said commenting on my outfit.

I just grunted at her, she knew she was in trouble for making me stay on the phone with him as long as I did.

Thanks to her, my happy Sunday was practically ruined. Especially after Edward and I took such good care of one another the night before. My mind was in bliss, and then he called.

Ugh.

"Sorry, Bella. But you really needed to hear that information. Thanks to you, we know something new about them now. Okay?" Alice said stressing 'them'.

I picked up on that. It almost sounded like Alice used me as a scout or something to get information on the enemy. And it sounded like she was using me because it was my big mouth that told them everything about Cullen's.

Was that what this was? Her way of getting back at me for speaking aloud all their abilities to the enemy.

Looking at her, I would say, yes, yes it was.

I straightened my face and gave her a nodded of understanding, and she folded her arms, then gave me one in return.

So that confirmed that.

"Will it be of any use?" I said in a business like tone.

"Time will tell," Alice replied, equally business like. "It may amount to nothing, or it may turn the tide, we'll see."

"We good?" I asked warily.

"Always," She replied breaking her business like appearance, and returned to be the Alice I knew and loved.

I ran to her and gave her one of the biggest and tightest hug I have ever given her, and she nuzzled her face in my chest in return and rested her ear on my heart. I had my best friend back.

And she was back all the way this time. But it was nice to know that even in a time of disagreement she had my back and looked out for me.

I deserved more punishment for spilling family secrets like that. Their lives depended on it, and I used that information like a party favor in the middle of werewolf territory; and just gave it all away trying to out boast a pack of juveniles.

I should also be happy it was Alice who took up the reins as my potential judge, jury, and possible. I don't know how it would've turned out if it was Rosalie or Jasper. Because even though I didn't know for sure, I felt everyone felt that I needed to get the message, and that included Edward. I knew how serious they were taking this because even Edward got out of the way.

It would never happen again. Not even if it was my own personal secret. I will tell no secrets about the family.

When Edward, Jasper, and Emmett came back from their hunt Alice gave the family the play-by-play re-enactment of my phone call with Jacob to my embarrassment and to everyone Else's amusement.

They all enjoyed the part where I told Jacob it would be just him, his garage, and his fucking hand. They were roaring with laughter with that. Even Rosalie hid a smirk behind the magazine she was reading.

But I had a big problem.

"Ha, yeah, yeah, very funny. But you heard him right?; he really thinks I could be his imprint. That I am supernaturally destined to be his. None of that is ha, ha, funny to me because what if I am and…?"

"No Bella, you're not" Alice and Edward said together cutting me off.

"What makes you both so sure; you heard the part about Emily, Sam, and Leah didn't you? They were in love just like I am now, but none of that mattered. They have pulled away from each other due to some supernatural mojo that robbed them of their choice. And now Jacob plans on that happening to me. So why I am the only one that is worried about this?"

"Oh my god, simmer down Bella!" Rosalie said as she rolled her eyes behind her magazine.

She was speaking to me for the first time since I walked thru the door.

She cut-off both Edward and Alice, so we all turned to look at her.

She looked left and right quickly and saw us all looking her way, and then she just caved and decided to speak further.

"Do you doubt what you have with Edward that much?" Rosalie asked.

What?

I stared daggers at her then.

She barely says 2 words to me, and now she questions my love for Edward.

"Of course not!. But this is some supernatural mind stealing bullshit we're talking about here, something neither I nor Edward would be able to stop." I seethed at her.

The family just stared between us, and Edward moved to nuzzle his face into the back of my head whilst I stared at Rosalie looking highly agitated.

But she just smirked back, looking carefree.

"Well then, you should remind yourself of what you already reminded Jacob. That you met him multiple times after his change, even when Edward wasn't there and still nothing happened. You're nothing to him. And every supernatural law, cosmic power, and all omnipotent forces in the universe already recognizes that fact. So why can't you?" She said haughtily. Then quickly picked up her magazine and began reading her stories of human pop culture as if I didn't exist again.

I straightened my face to one of understanding.

She got me.

"Yes...you're right. I'm sorry I blew up at you. It's just... I just don't like that there are forces out there like that. The idea of being made to believe something like that and worst yet, brainwashed into loving your enslaver" I shook my head, trying to forces the thought away. "It's too much. And you're right, you all are." I said looking at the family "but I still want to avoid Jacob going forward. I would rather not risk a meeting with him again anytime soon. Because anyone who knew anything about me knows I have the absolute worst luck."

Emmett and Jasper giggled at that. But Esme shook her head softly at my statement.

"Worst luck you say, Bella? tsk tsk," Esme chimed in shaking her head giving me a small smile. "You survived your very first meeting with a vampire as his singer. Talk about the luck you needed to cultivate to get out of that one."

Jasper gave a long whistle in acknowledgment of Esme's statement.

"You survived James's dumbass" Alice added. "How lucky were you that he was an open-mouth moron who thought it was ok to challenge us over you? Very lucky I would say."

We all chuckled at her. I had to admit, that was funny.

"You survived me," Jasper added with a wink and a smirk "Even most vampires can't do that."

I laughed at his morbid humor.

I was glad that we could laugh about this now. It really felt like he and I passed another milestone.

"You survived meeting a pack of stinking wolves with no self-control," Rosalie added, "The smell alone should've been enough to make one gag and beg for the end."

The other's made a face of disgust and scrunched up noses as they shook their heads in agreement.

That piqued my interest, I would really have to ask Edward to describe the wolves scent to me one day.

"You survived Laurent's attempts on you as well, love" Edward said as lightly as he could. But I could tell this game of, 'All the reasons why Bella shouldn't be here right now', was not fun for him. So I nodded and leaned into him.

"Not to mention, you survived Italy. You had the sweetest smelling blood for miles, you knew the secret, and was attached to a vampire who vehemently and foolishly championed that he wouldn't change you no matter what they ordered him to do; practically spitting in the face of the law and its keepers right in the heart of their home. I would have to say, that went beyond luck. I don't even know how many miracles you needed to pull to get through that, but you did. Because for some omnipotent chance you had the one talent; that none of the most powerful vampires in our world could do anything about and it ended up saving the lives of both Edward and Alice, right along with yourself. So your bad luck may get you into some situations, but good luck seems to be represented as well." Carlisle said, walking in from out of nowhere.

And of course, he was right. They all acknowledged it in some way.

"Case dismissed!" Emmett said banging on the coffee table like a judge with a gavel.

"Yes, I guess I have to adjust my perception of things a bit," I said giving them a small smile.

"Oh hell yeah you do, come let's start with your gaming skills. I 'know' you got some." Emmett said boisterously.

Letting go off some of the stress that Jacob's malicious intentions brought on, I spent the rest of my Sunday pursuing various activities with Edward's...no our family.

To my great delight and surprise, I whooped Emmett at his own fighting game so much that he called me 'cheese'. Whatever that meant.

I thought he was throwing the game till he crushes his controller then ran in the backyard a started smashing down the forest.

"Ha, I guess you guys will be good for firewood for the next, I don't know, 5 years," I said jokingly as I watched Emmett smash down the woods.

"Too bad we won't be here that long" Rosalie said to me surprisingly. "It's a shame, I liked it here."

She said as she walked past me and out into the backyard to bring Emmett to heel.

I nodded at her statement not knowing what to say because I was still slightly shocked that she spoke to me again and did so soon after her last attempt. I would've bet money that I would've had to wait another season before she broke her silence again.

After that drama died down, I went with Esme into the kitchen. She and I cooked and traded recipes of the best feel-good foods. But if I was honest, I would say I gave out recipes and she perfected them.

For someone who doesn't even eat the food she prepares I was astonished yet again of how knowledgeable she was about the subject.

After we prepared a lasagna using one of my own recipes that were 'tweaked' by Esme I sat down and ate. It was delicious, seriously delicious. Forget seconds, I had thirds and wondered if I had room for fourths'.

Esme sat blissfully as she watched me devour the meal she prepared. We chatted about small things like projects and what she was planning on doing in the garden with the time she had left here. She smirked every now and then and absorbed her compliments like a sponge. But I could tell that just watching me be happy, made her happy; and that made me smile inside.

After dinner, I plotted my outfits for the week with Alice. We 'debated' heavily on various topic such as the minor differences between being sexy or just putting yourself out there to be judged or worst; being labeled a whore outright.

The differences all came down to how things hugged my body or how high my skirts came above my knee, or should I say how low they were from my bottom. She wanted them higher where any light breeze would practically give the boys of forks fap fuel for months, but wasn't having any one of those undeserving jerks see me that way so I 'debated' for lower; much, much lower. We reached an accord and we went for mid-thigh.

Not that I would be wearing that many skirts anyway.

You only needed to live in forks to know why.

After that I found Carlisle relaxing in the family room looking like he was just taking in the family atmosphere. So I decided it was a perfect time to ask him questions I've been dying to ask him. I asked him about himself and I listened to him telltale of his early vampiric life. He told me of his first patient and how hard it was for him. He didn't have to do the surgery himself. He just assisted. He was in France at the time working as an apprentice and trying his best to ignore the highbrow social scenes that his good looks got him invited to more often than he would've liked.

Esme and I laughed at his bashfulness over it.

I loved reading novels about that period, but to hear about the actual day to day life was amazing. From the horrible smell of the people due to lack deodorant or too much cologne or perfume in their attempts to mask their scents, to the muddy streets filled with fecal matter and urine due to all the horses and poor plumbing systems and morning chamber pots. Then there was the openness of society's use of certain drugs that surely would've been illegal now, but not a single person of the law batted an eye towards. Then he made me laugh when he explained how he had to endure the look of bad teeth and extremely bad breath on 9.9 out of 10 people he met. That was one of the major reasons why women of that era would walk with those fans and covered their mouths when they laughed at dinner parties. He said he would always find himself locked in a poorly ventilated rooms surrounded by nothing but malodorous gasses. He joked that poor hygiene was the real reason he was able to keep his control. It was all amazing to hear, and it really gave me some perspective.

It made me wonder if in thee hundred years, would a human, like to hear about laptops, roads made of gravel, cars that only went 180mph, planes that could only stay within the atmosphere and needed wings, Books on paper, paper itself, and burning fossil fuel for energy and not water. I really wondered how interested they would be in all of that.

Coming here was always magical to me, and today was wonderful, all of it.

But eventually I made my way back home; I bought back all leftover from Esme cooking and gave it to Charlie. He thought it was beyond delicious-just like me. That got me off the hook for coming in an hour or so later than expected.

I took a few moments for myself, and then I got ready for bed. I fell into Edward and nuzzled my face into his chest and he nuzzled his face into my hair breathing me in deeply. I began to lick his chest marking his heart as mine.

But I was exhausted from the day. I fell asleep effortlessly, facing the one place I knew I truly belonged; Edward's heart.

MONDAY

Edward woke me up, greeting me with a soft and loving kiss.

Every day should start like this.

"Morning my love. You ready for today?" Edward asked warily

I rolled my eyes at him. But that was only for show because the truth was I was.

"Mmmhmm." I hummed in reply.

His eyebrows shot up at my reply.

"That's a… a surprise. So I was nervous for you all night for nothing then?"

"What? Why?" I said sitting up to look at him.

"Bella, you know why. You never liked the spotlight. But today you will be the center of attention. You're going to be the main topic of discussion for the foreseeable future."

Ugh.

"Please don't remind me," I said shaking my head. "I know why I'm doing it this Edward, and that is all I'm thinking about. My success in getting everyone thinking about a new me rather the old me is what I am looking for. And If I have to suffer the scorching heat of the limelight, then so be it. I do this for us, beloved."

"I know love, and I will be right at your side, so you won't have to do it alone." He said leaning and quickly kissing me.

"But you overslept now we're running late."

"What?!"

Then he was out the window, laughing as he exited.

I wanted to be mad but anything that made Edward laugh like that, I couldn't possibly be mad at.

I got out of bed and flew into the bathroom and began my morning routine, but I moved like I was being played on fast forward.

I was rearing to go and face the day. Because today was going to be Fork High's re-introduction to Bella Swan.

I then proceeded to get dressed. Alice said she wanted to go bold right out the gate, but I didn't want to break the ice with dynamite, so after we 'debated' our points, we compromised once more.

I put my hair in a low ponytail and left a few loose strands of hair to drape over the sides of my face. I used a complementary blush on my cheeks that gave me a little color that was almost nonexistent to my eyes, so I knew it was perfect. I gave my eyes a dark eye shadow that really brought attention to them, but yet could remain soft and understated.

I wore a dark caramel colored knitted sweater with black leather pants and boots. I put on thin gold hoop earrings. Along with a thin gold necklace with an oval-shaped locket. Also 1 gold matching opal index ring for each hand. With that my ensemble was complete. I put on my double-breasted caramel coat that came down to my waist. After a quick review, I was beyond satisfied with my choice.

I was out the door. Where I found both Edward and Alice outside ready to greet me. As I walked slowly to the car I saw that Alice was taking pictures of me, while Edward stood there wearing fresh clothes, stared at me with a stunned look on his face, and black eyes. I knew that look, he wanted me and he wanted me now. And just that knowledge made me want him just as bad. I was be beginning to wonder if we had enough time to get maybe squeeze one in before class, but my fantasy was rudely interrupted by reality in the shape of a 5-foot pixie.

"Uh uh, you two. Not gonna happen. We are already pushing for time. Take care of that later."

"We will" Edward and I said in unison. Then I closed the distance between and gave him a deep passionate kiss.

"Later beloved, I promise I'll take care of it," I said sultry as possible.

Edwards eyes when right back to black. I kissed him again then pulled away.

"Let's go, beloved, we are going to be late."

On the drive the school I took the time to get some answer to a curious question that was plaguing me. I turned around in my seat to ask Alice {who was sitting behind Edward} something.

"Alice? What is that camera for?"

"Well, It's to document the day," she said slightly nervous.

"Doc...Document the day? Are you telling me you're planning on taking pictures of me all day?" I asked nervously.

No way, not gonna happen. Talk about conspicuous. It will be more than clear that I was deliberately trying to make a statement if Alice did that.

"No Bel-la, you got it all wrong. This is not meant to take pictures of your beautiful face, it's meant to take pictures of their so-so faces." She said pointing to the front of me.

I turned to see that we were at school now and that Alice was pointing at the usual morning crowd in the parking lot. Just hanging out talking about nothing.

It was their reaction Alice was after.

"Why do you want to take pictures of them?" I asked a little slow on the uptake.

"Because silly, you will want to remember what you're about to see, so I'm making a record now for you so you have it after your change."

"Oh, wow Alice that is really considerate of..."

"Save it, she's lying. She is taking the pictures for Rosalie, Emmett, and Esme. They wanted to see their reaction as well, so they turned Alice into a paparazzi. "

"Oh..." I said giving her my best 'you must think I'm stupid' look.

Alice stuck her tongue out at Edward as we pulled in our spots.

Time to get this show on the road.

Alice and Edward got out. Edward made his way to my door. Then proceeded to unveil me to the masses.

And there was it was. The murmurs and soft whispers we've been hearing for months. But this time, they had a different tone.

I looked around and saw stunned faced looking at me up and down. But mostly down. They seem to be stuck on the tight leather boots and pants that I was wearing. Their eyes stuck to them like magnets.

"The girls are jealous of how shapely and toned your body looks, not to mention your boldness to wear soft leather pants like this, and to 'completely own it', as they say. Not to mention your choice of high-end boots that must have cost a fortune. And they guys can't wait to see the back of you, to see if it's going to live up to their imagination." Edward explained but was grimacing a bit at the end.

But I smirked at him a bit then turned my head looking to look at Alice click away.

I saw Alice clicking away like a mad woman, no one really took any notice of her, because they were all just looking at me and Edward.

"Well let's not just stand here on ceremony, let's go beloved. Let's give them a show." I said taking Edwards's hand.

He smirked back then gave me a slow tender kiss, then turned to lead the way.

We walked the parking lot; I saw the green Edward was telling me about in the girls. All except Angela.

She just had a look that told me that she was proud of me. Her best 'You go girl' look

I saw the boys trying their best to be polite and keep their eyes on mine before they would undoubtedly turn their gaze to my bottom as soon as I got passed them.

I heard excited whispers and hisses from guys and girls both as I was walked confidently towards school.

"So, did my bottom live up to their imagination?" I asked. Nonchalantly feeling confident.

"No, it didn't," Edward said, shocking me to a standstill. If it was nothing they couldn't be happy with, then how must Edward feel about it?

"It was better than they ever dreamed. To them, your bottom is the perfect midway point between Kate Beckinsale in first 'Underworld' and Jessica Alba in 'Into the Blue'.

Wow, those were high praises indeed. I guess getting all my weight back really helped.

That really brought my confidence back up.

"Well, that's good. At least that got their minds on other things now." I said. But Edward was grimacing a bit.

"What wrong Edward?"

"I may have to turn this place into the murder capital of the entire country after all. Most of them can't wait to go home and empty the deposit you made into their spank bank. Some will even do it here at school"

"Eww. We'll hold off on the murders. It's not like I'll wear leather pants every day."

Edwards' eyes snapped to mine.

"Well don't stop on my account," He said quickly.

Ha! He was still one of the guys after all.

"Fine beloved, but just for us then; only you get to see me in leather from now on, okay?"

He grinned widely.

"I love you, have I told you that?" He said like excited at the new prospect.

I laughed happily at him and then decided to give our viewers another show. I looked deeply into his eyes getting his attention. Then leaned in slowly. And started the mother of all public displays of affection.

We kissed slowly and passionately. I ran my hand through his hair, and Edward caressed my newly discovered perfect bottom. This was fine by me. It was his to caress.

I broke out kiss after 2 full minutes. Then we started to make our way into school again.

We didn't even bother to look back. But from the smirk Edward was wearing, I could see that they got the message. Edward was mine and I was his again, and neither of us was going to let their nonsense get between us.

Today was going to be a great day.

TUESDAY - EDWARD POV

The thoughts, the thoughts the thoughts. I can't decide which was worst. The old ones of Bella's pain and suffering, or the new ones that washed all the old ones away. The ones were the student body would take turns and switched either Bella or me out and put themselves in our respective places.

I know that the kiss yesterday was too much for some. Some immediately found a quiet stall and 'relieved' the pressure and that went male and female alike.

The act of watching Bella's immaculate bottom being touched and grabbed like that, inside of soft black leather pants by strong powerful hands, gave the boys and girls at Forks high fuel for their respective spank bank for months to come.

But one thing was for sure, nobody was thinking about my leaving anymore.

By the end of school yesterday they labeled us as an 'active' couple. Meaning they assumed that Bella and I are having lots and lots of hot monkey sex all over the place.

If only that were true.

Bella doesn't know it, but I am saving myself for our wedding night. But I will not tell her before she agrees to marry me. I don't want to make that an incentive that will stain her pure motives and her response with its duplicity.

If she is going to marry me, she is going to do it for love, and not for gain of any kind.

But it's not like she is in any kind of rush for sex that I see. Now that most of my previous boundaries are down, we take care of each other on a regular basis Almost every night, and never less than 5 times a week.

But yesterday night we were on one another all night, till 5 am. Thoughts of her perfect bottom ran thru the boy's mind at school all day. I was hard-pressed to hide its effects. Bella had to walk in front of me most of the day protecting the evidence of my lack of control. But my member kept poking her in her back and igniting the scent of her arousal. It turned into a vicious circle and was getting unbearable.

After school, we flew to drop Alice home, but we didn't make all the way. I just found a quiet spot and let Alice out the car. She already knew this was going to happen. Plus, she was faster than any car anyway.

With Alice gone, I was all over Bella then. My mouth and hands ravaged her perfect body. From her shapely breast to A class bottom. After a few moments we got out the steamy car, and I pulled her leathers and underwear down till I hit her ankles. I turned her around and bent her over and fingered her beautiful pussy while made out with her mouth. Once she got her first orgasm out of the way, she turned around reached down and took care of me. I was losing myself in her soft hands. But I couldn't keep my finger off her, or out of her. She spread her legs slightly giving me the permission I was looking for. I stared at her gorgeous plump dripping vaginal lips covered lightly by soft Mahogany hairs and lost two of my fingers in her.

When I got her home, we were at it again. Then again that night after Charlie slept.

I slopped up her orgasms and she drank of me, and never we let a single drop go to waste.

Where did she get the stamina to keep that pace I will never know nor will I ever question it. She was amazing.

With only a few hours actual rest she woke up and went into the shower, as I left to get ready at home before I could give in to the temptation to take her for real.

~-N.E-~

Today was much like yesterday. Although she wore no leathers, the boys couldn't help by staring at her perfectly shaped bottom.

She wore caramel pants with a thin black lace sweater than hanged off her right shoulder.

The slightly larger sweater did cover most of her ass, but all they needed was a little, and their imagination from yesterday filled in the rest.

Ugh. What was I telling Bella about me turning Forks into the murder capital again?

But thinking of murder capital. It looked like we might have one in Seattle soon. The teachers in the teachers' lounge were watching the news closely as they went on about the killing spree that is taking place just hours away from Forks.

What concerned me was who was being killed. They were the dregs of society. Pimps, hooker, drug dealers, and abusers. People you weren't supposed to miss, this had vampire written all over it. Then there was the occasional disappearance of some on of note. Someone like Riley Biers for instance. When Riley Biers made an appearance on that list a couple of the older female teachers lost it. To them, he was a good kid, a good orator, and a creative thinker. He was the type to really get results when put to a task.

Jasper had been busy looking into this, I might need to talk to him and see how far he has gotten.

"Hey, Bella!" Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory said together, both trying to act nonchalantly. But the truth was that they see a rising star in Bella again, and they want to attach themselves early before Bella could soar out of their reach leaving them to scurry around on the ground with the rest of the no names.

I would've said that this was just high school, but this was just the world we live in. No one wants to be on the bottom. Especially if they could ride on the coattails of anther's strength and saved themselves the effort of making the climb. Just like Jessica and Lauren were trying to do.

Bella was simply stunning. No matter how pompous these girls were they had to acknowledge their betters. And Bella was that in every way. Her new look shot her popularity through the stratosphere. She looked like a supermodel that was gracing the presence of the normal everyday high school hallway.

Bella gave them a cordial greeting, nodded her head at appropriate moments of their attempted conversation with her, and then quickly found an exit.

We knew this was going to happen. But we didn't need popularity, especially for the lives we were about to lead together. And we most definitely didn't need phony individuals surrounding us. We will let them live in their world, while we live in ours.

But then there was Angela. She had unrestricted access. I told Bella, that she was one of the only genuine people in Forks, but Bella already figured that much out for herself.

I would really have to try and do something nice for Angela. I saw that she and Ben were trying to head to college together, but money was tight on her part due to the fact that she was a small town pastor's daughter.

Her grades were good, but they're not full-ride scholarship good. And student loans are legal racket designed to trap the borrowers in debt for years to come.

On the way home, I decided to talk to Bella and Alice about what we should do to help our only mutual friend in Forks.

"That's a great idea Edward, I'll get right on it as soon as I get home" Alice chimed in excitedly after having a vision.

"Let me at least tell Bella first". I said as I rolled my eyes at Alice.

"Tell me what beloved?"

I loved her, even more, every time she calls me that.

"Alice told you about your fortune right?" I asked getting the blush I was expecting.

Ha! The look on her face. I must be the luckiest guy on earth, Give this girl a multi-billion dollar fortune and she wants to puke.

Alice having no shame out-right laughed.

Money seems to be Bella's kryptonite. She was raised to love and care for the little she has, so being told one day that she doesn't have to hold back anymore and she can have it all still hasn't registered yet.

I really think it will take 100 years to break her of her squeamishness towards wealth.

"Bella, it's ok. I was wondering if you would want to help Angela out."

"Angela, how? Tell me what do I need to do?" She asked eagerly. She was focused now.

God, I loved her. Tell her she was helping a friend and she instantly got over her issues. She was naturally selfless.

"Alright here is what I was thinking," I said setting up the statement that was coming. "As it stands, we all believe Angela and Ben care for one another deeply, correct?

Bella and Alice cooed at that.

"But Ben is going to UCLA and Angela financially can't follow. So I was thinking that she gets an anonymous scholarship from Pacific Northwest Trust & Investments to a school of her choice. And we foot the bill. I would say two hundred thousand would do it."

"That would really be amazing Edward. What made you want to be so generous?"

"Bella, she if you and I had and real human friends, I would say she would be our only true one. Plus we will be leaving soon and I just want to make sure she gets what she wants out of her time left here in Forks, just as we did. We can't be the only one that Forks had been good too, right?"

"Wow, I love you more and more each day, do you know that Edward?" She leaned in and kissed me passionately.

"Ahem," Alice said. "So… are we doing it or not?"

"The question of my life," Bella said. Causing both Alice and Bella to break out in hysterics.

"Okay, we're doing it! But I want in, Edward. Half from you and half from me. Got it?" Bella said excitedly.

"Consider it done my love. Alice and Jasper will make the arrangements."

"Excellent. When will she get it?" Bella asked.

"I'll time it a month and a half before school ends. So let's say about 3 months from now. That will give her time to adjust her plans for the future."

"Perfect," Bella said happily. "Wow, I can't believe spending money feels so good."

Now it was my turn. Alice and I were laughing our heads off. Of all the things that came out of my Bella's mouth, that was hilarious.

God, I loved her even more.

Speaking of wrapping this up...

"Bella, I think you should go see your mother. You won't be able to after this summer. So you should book a ticket to Florida and soon."

She looked downcast.

"Yeah, you're right. I completely forgot about her." She said shaking her head. "I will, but I won't go alone; Its time she meets you, Edward."

I really didn't think that was a good idea.

"Bella, Florida is nothing like Forks. I will be spotted in an instant."

"Don't worry Edward, just keep your phone charged and I will take care of the rest," Alice said easily.

"Then it's done. Two tickets to Florida. I'll buy them tonight." Bella said.

I was glad I transferred six figures into her tiny checking account Saturday when we were updating her room and wardrobe.

"Ah guys...you're going to have a problem," Alice said.

"What problem?" Bella said together.

"Charlie."

"Crap!" Bella and I said together dismally.

[END CHAPTER]


Reviews, Reviews, Reviews. Good or bad I need to see reviews. I'm not looking for a higher review count, I'm looking for creative input and thoughts; even a debate.

So let me have it.

How did you like Bella and Alice's stand off?

How did you feel about Family time? I for one thought it was needed.

How did you like the reaction of Bella's new look? Was it too much or not enough?

So…How did you like this chapter?. I'm not a great lemon writer. But I can keep things sour.

I'm just trying to just get to the action. But going from one action scene to the next, a shitty book makes. Lol.

Still. I NEED ACTION!

AGAiN, I nEEd reviews. Let me have it! Thanks Fans.
