Chapter 10- The Plan part 1
Previously:
"So, tomorrow is back to reality?" Edward asked.
"Tomorrow is back to the motel," Bella stated scrunching up her nose in distaste.
"I don't understand why you don't take up Carlisle's offer to move in with us?" Edward asked.
"You weren't supposed to be listening!" Bella stated holding her finger at him with a look of surprise on her face.
"I have no idea what you are talking about, Bella." He replied smiling softly. "You're really tired, you should go to bed."
Bella shook her head in amazement as she lay back against her pillow and stared at the ceiling. The last thing she remembered was the gentle sound of Edward humming her lullaby next to her.
---
"Bella," A voice called softly next to her "oh Bella."
"Just let me do it!" she heard another voice say as she felt her bed shift for a moment. "BELLA WAKEY WAKEY!"
She burrowed deeper into the blankets that were surrounding her letting a soft groan out in despair. Clenching her eyes tighter she pulled the pillow over her head.
"Well that worked well," the man replied laughing and she heard the girl growl. "Fine, I will do this my way then!"
She wasn't prepared for the covers to be ripped off of her or for her bed to begin bouncing up and down. "WAKE UP!" Alice yelled tugging at the pillow.
"Fine," Bella replied chucking the pillow at Alice as she rolled over "I'm up I'm up."
"It took you long enough," Emmett stated scoffing in a teasing manner. "Our little Eddie keep you up late?" He seemed to laugh for a minute at his joke before plopping down next to her.
"Speaking of Edward," Alice stated handing Bella a note "he left this for you. He really didn't want to leave but Emmett, Jasper, and I forced him too. He really needed to go hunting."
She grabbed the note scanning it quickly before looking up at Alice. "He can't be serious!" Bella stated scoffing.
"What does it say?" Emmett asked sounding like a little child as he reached over ripping it out of Bella's hands.
"Blah blah blabbity blah. Love you, some more mushy crap." Emmett muttered reading before something peaked his interest "Were going out tonight?" Emmett asked Alice turning to look at her.
"That we are!" Alice squealed "And that means we need to get our little Bella here an outfit."
"Shopping? Seriously I stayed behind to go shopping?" Emmett scoffed throwing the note down on her comforter. "I think I am going to go catch up with Rose," Emmett stated smiling largely as he waggled his eyebrows up and down. "Empty house, if you know what I mean!"
He jumped out of the window before either Alice or Bella could respond. Bella turned looking back at Alice and the girl had a huge smile on her face.
"That note was sweet." Alice stated before hopping up "To save some time I am just going to answer your questions. No it was not a dream, yes it really happened, and yes it took all three of us to pry Edward from your bed." Alice snickered for a moment before continuing "Yes you are going out tonight, whether you want to or not, I have an outfit picked out for you right here."
"Wait a minute I thought you said…" Bella stated but was interrupted as Alice continued.
"I just said that to get Emmett out of here," she smiled for a moment chuckling "I wanted some girl time." Alice held up a small bag "I thought I could give you a manicure and pedicure and we could talk. It has been forever since the two of us have been able to hang out and I missed you."
"Alice I missed you too!" Bella stated brushing her hair out of her face as she sat up "I really messed things up."
"No," Alice stated "my stubborn ass brother messed things up. But we're going to be changing his opinions on a few things very soon!"
"What do you have planned?" Bella asked looking at the girl worriedly for a moment.
"Nothing to worry your pretty little head with." Alice replied smirking at her. "So tell me about last night, that was some kiss!"
"You saw that?!" Bella asked a bright blush flushing her cheeks.
Alice laughed for a moment before replying "I most certainly did. It truly was a perfect moment" Alice sighed for a moment "underneath the stars. I really couldn't have planned it better!"
"What do you mean planned it?!" Bella asked scowling.
"It's not like you didn't like it!" Alice stated laughing "Or like I forced you two to do anything. I just made the opportunity a possibility."
"And how exactly did you do that?" Bella asked glaring at her friend for a moment.
"Well it isn't my fault how protective Edward is of you. How was I to know that if I mentioned the fact that your future disappeared while you were home that he would run right over here to make sure you were ok? Really it was totally unpredictable."
"Alice," Bella stated laughing "you're a psychic."
"Do you regret last night?" Alice asked looking Bella pointedly in the eyes.
"No." Bella replied smiling as she thought about it.
"Then quit complaining!" Alice stated laughing. "Oh and you can thank me later!"
Both girls burst into a fit of giggles for a moment before conversation continued.
"He really does love you, Bella."
"I know," she replied softly "I love him too."
"You love him and he loves you. I love you too, Bella, you know that right?!"
"Aw Alice I love you too, you're like a sister to me."
"You love me enough to never question my judgment right?" Alice asked making a cute puppy dog face.
"I suppose I can play along for the time being," Bella stated having a hard time saying no to Alice when she made that face.
"So do you want to see what you are wearing tonight?"
"Where exactly are we going?" Bella asked playing with the ends of her hair as she spoke.
"Well," Alice stated looking up at Bella, "remember you promised you wouldn't question my judgment."
"Alice," Bella stated in a warning tone.
"We're going to this new restaurant that opened up in Port Angeles, and don't say we don't eat. You do and we are more than willing to take you out."
"So we are going to dinner?" Bella asked.
"Right," Alice stated before mumbling "and then we are going dancing."
"Dancing!" Bella stated feeling her heart race "Alice I can't dance. I'm perpetually klutzy; this is not a good idea. How did you get Edward to agree?"
A soft snicker escaped Alice's lips before she responded "I have my ways."
"Can you promise me that I will not get hurt or hurt anyone tonight?" Bella asked softly sighing.
Alice closed her eyes for a moment before her smile became even larger. "Not even a fly will be harmed."
"Fine," Bella stated softly in defeat.
"Good because Edward is going to have a heart attack when he sees you in this." Alice stated pulling out a blue dress from the garment bag on the edge of her bed.
"Alice," Bella stated "does it have to be a dress?"
"Trust me," Alice stated snickering again "It's all part of the plan."
"This mysterious plan you keep talking about is starting to scare me."
Alice ignored her last comment and held the dress up so Bella could really see it.
"I am not wearing that Alice!" Bella exclaimed "It has like NO back."
"That's kind of the point," Alice stated sounding annoyed "I thought you were going to trust me."
"I do trust you Alice," Bella stated pouting slightly before Alice interrupted.
"I even got small heels that not even you could trip in" Alice stated holding up a matching pair of shoes.
"I don't really even have a say do I?" Bella asked sighing as she pulled her hair back and stood up from the bed.
"Nope," Alice replied "we can do this the easy or the hard way, but one way or another you are coming with us tonight and you are wearing this dress."
"Fine," Bella replied throwing her hands in the air "I'm going to shower."
"You do that!" Alice called after her laughing.
