S&M (LOL) owns the characters, i own the awsumness.
The Ghosts' Adversary
I absolutely, positively, undeniably hated riding with Alice. I would rather take a shit in a wind storm than have to be subjected to that torture again. She didn't even give me a chance to prepare myself for the onslaught of G-force on my body.
The instant she heard the click for the safety belt, she hit the accelerator on the Porsche and made my head smack into the headrest of the seat. From that moment on, I actually feared for my life.
Is the end coming quicker than I ever planned? Oh my God, this chick is actually going to kill you!
On that note I couldn't argue. I was still new to the town so I was trying to pay attention to where she was going, but every time I looked out the windshield the road turned into a warped mess that made my insides churn. On each passing turn I was holding my stomach and hoping that I had enough control to not mess up her upholstery.
So basically the whole trip was spent with me in a fetal position, clutching my seatbelt in an iron grip and yelling out directions, while Alice was laughing like a mad-woman and driving just as crazy.
Finally I just gave up on yelling directions and started giving hand signals on when to make a turn. Alice was just as happy because she could now focus on singing to the songs on the radio. This was really starting to bother me.
Not that her voice was bad, because it wasn't. It was just that I wished she would focus on the road more and stop glancing my way every time a new song came on.
It was also making me super uncomfortable because every song had something to do with love. It ranged from just hearing the Plain White T's to off the charts unknown people. The DJ was killing me. Alice would first hear the beginning then squeal, "Oh! This is my favorite song!" and then commence in almost serenading me.
But then the worst part was when Gary Glitter's song came on. Oh shit, my mind screamed. I think the love songs are over and in marched the more risky ones. I glanced over at Alice, hoping to find a way to make her stop singing.
She took her eyes off the road again to smile a wide beaming smile at me. And as if she knew that I was thinking of convincing her to stop, she said, "Oh not today Bella. I'm having too much fun." I rolled my eyes and sunk deeper into the seat. I sighed. There was no stopping her now.
"We've been here too long
Tryin' to get along
Pretendin' that you're oh so shy"
Alice poked a finger at my face while I just patted it away and turned my head to the look out of the window. This wasn't going to end pleasant. Even though I really don't feel any emotions without medical help, I'm still a teenager which combined with the drugs, made my mind stay coated with not so clean thoughts. I couldn't help it, I wondered some days about things just like any other kid. But Alice was seriously making my head go into overdrive.
"I'm a natural ma'am
Doin' all I can
My temperature is runnin' high
Cry at night
No one in sight
An' we got so much to share
Talking's fine
If you got the time
But I ain't got the time to spare
Yeah!"
Oh crap here it comes. She's been singing at the top of her lungs for the entire song so I had trouble trying to ignore the lyrics especially the next part. Whatever I do I just don't need to look at her. Ugh that was way easier saying in my head.
Don't look at her, don't look at her, don't look at her! I caught my eyes trying to peek over.
Aw hell, just look already. My self-control gave out. I tore my head from the window to look over at Alice and my jaw dropped.
"Do you wanna touch (Yeah!)"
Alice's hands moved down the front of her jacket. I couldn't figure out why they weren't on the steering wheel, but I soon didn't care.
"Do you wanna touch (Yeah!)"
Then they traveled slowly back up until the where just lightly brushing her chest. I swallowed hard.
"Do you wanna touch me there, where?"
Finally catching my stare, she smirked and bit her lip, squeezing herself slightly. My eyes traced the outline of her lips and then followed the path of her tongue licking her lips.
"Do you wanna touch (Yeah!)"
Her eyes took on that weird dark tint again and got my heart racing when I thought of where I first saw those eyes. But I didn't linger long on that thought because Alice's hands started moving again. Toward mine!
"Do you wanna touch (Yeah!)"
Alice unbuckled her seatbelt and started climbing over the drink holders. But like some kind of predator, she began to stare me down with her dark piercing eyes, which were soft yet, so calculating, like she was watching my every movement. As she moved closer, I moved back until my back was pressed completely against the passenger door.
"Do you wanna touch me there, where?"
Alice's hand took mine in the limited space that we had and moved it to her face. I carefully held her cheek in my hand. Her skin was so soft and my thumb was so close to her lips. I could barely hold back an impulse to brush my thumb against them.
I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead and a shiver that I tried to withhold become unleashed just from my hand on her face. My other hand gripped the window seal in a death grip.
"There, yeah"
She stopped her own singing and let the song continue going and instead dedicated all of her attention on me. Alice's eyes held mine in a steady gaze. I was feeling really intimidated, and hot.
"So do you?"
"Do… do, I…I what?" I stuttered out. My brain function wasn't working properly at the moment.
She laughed her tinkling laugh without taking her eyes off of me. "Haven't you been listening to the song?" She moved closer to me so that our lips were just a few inches away. "Do you want to touch me?"
"Umm… I…Shu.. Shu… Sure. I guess I mean if you want. I mean it is totally up to you." I just made a fool of myself with all of the nervous babble. But I didn't care. I gave myself a mental high five for even being able to answer her.
"Of course I want to I wouldn't have asked otherwise."
Our faces moved ever so closer until she was just a breathe away. Her cool breathe blew across my face and made me close my eyes. I never kissed anyone before, so I was just hoping that I was doing something right.
My breathing became erratic and my other hand turned to hold on the door… which was the biggest mistake I ever made. My hand must have clasped the handle of the door I was leaning on.
I soon felt myself falling out of what I thought was a moving vehicle. I squeezed my closed eyes tighter and tensed as I prepared for impact but... it never happened. In fact I was gently lowered to the ground (which I felt was not moving). Duh!
I opened my eyes. Alice peered down at me from the seat, "Should I unbuckle your seatbelt too?" Her ever present smirk was back on her face except the only different thing was that her eyes were back to their normal gold.
My mind was covered in a thick fog. It took a moment to figure out what she said and another to find the words to respond. "Sure." I felt the seatbelt snap around me and tie around my legs, to which Alice quickly removed. I got off of the wet pavement to look at my surroundings.
Surprisingly we were parked in front of my house. How long have we been out here?
"Only three minutes and forty seconds." Alice quickly responded.
Did I say that aloud? And how did she know that? I must be really jacked up and this time I couldn't even blame it on drugs. Well at least my headache is gone. Wow where we really about to do what I think we were about to do? What is this girl doing to me? Ugh so many questions I have to ask her, but not enough time.
I closed the car door and walked around to her side. I didn't stop. I simply put my hands into my hoody pockets. When I'm thinking I get quiet and I had a lot to think about right now. Alice met me halfway and started walking by my side.
I could tell she hates silence because she quickly cut off my stride to ask me, "Are you mad at me?"
I turned and stared at her silently. Was I mad? Well not that I know of. I actually enjoyed the ride (the last part at least). But I was sort of confused. No one has ever tried making advances toward me until I came to this town.
I didn't care that Alice was a girl, I could live with that. It was the fact that I don't think I could ever be able to love her or have actual feelings for her. It's like living in a real 'You can look but don't touch' ideology. It tore me every time I thought about it and I don't want to hurt her, so I told her the best answer I could come up with.
"No. I'm not mad. I'm just not used to people wanting me." I paused looking for the right words. "And you seem nice and all, but I can't be involved with you."
She looked down at that part. Great I hurt her feelings anyway.
"No! I mean, like that. Like that. I would like to be friends, just as long as you don't try stuff like that again." I joked trying to ease the tension. The rain was becoming a problem and I was finally shivering from an actual cold instead of Alice's presence.
She smiled. "I would like that. I'm just sorry for what happened in the car. I got caught up in the music and… Well I really don't know what got into me. Will you forgive me?"
I smiled a dull looking smile trying to lighten her spirits. "Of course."
"Yeah!"
I snickered at her little victory dance she did around me. She stopped in front of me with her hands on her hips. "Great so as your new best friend, I recommend you go inside before you catch a cold."
I rolled my eyes. "Please I have an immune system made of steel. You on the other hand should get going before your parents worry where you are." I thought for a second. "Hey I thought you said you had brothers?"
"Oh I do. It's just that they were out doing whatever they do, when I brought you in. Don't worry you'll get to see them, my mother and sister soon." She winked and jogged to the car.
How would she know that? I just shrugged. She did seem too definite, but I knew I would risk getting another headache trying to figure out the anomaly known as Alice. Who really knows when it comes to her.
"Okay see you later Alice." I waved.
"By Bella!" She yelled from the moving yellow Porsche before it zoomed out of my sight.
I shook my head and unlocked the door with the spare key I knew Charlie kept under the mat (I mean who doesn't?). Once inside I thought a little. Oh yeah my truck is gone, Alice is my new best friend, and school starts tomorrow.
I heard the cruiser pulling into the driveway. Great, now to start planning on what to say to Charlie about my missing truck. I sighed. Oh happy day.
Soo what do you think? I was listening to Gary's song and i caught an idea. & it fit perfectly with the scene. Props to him for such an awsum song.
& special thanks to those who review. You are my motivation :)
Now on to the next one! Chao!
