Awkward…

Chapter 9

A/N: I decided to leave the interesting part for the next chapter! I promise I will!! Hehe… Thank you so much for your reviews! XD

Third person POV:

Alec pulled away and ran away at vampire speed. Bella fingered her lips gently, still feeling his taste on her.

"She would have pulled away if she wants to," Jane commented, still hiding behind a tree.

"Yeah, I agree, I don't think she treats him like a friend," Chelsea replied, squatting behind the bushes.

"Yeah, I guess she is confused…" Jane mumbled.

"Their bonds are quite strong," Chelsea told Jane.

"Yeah… I hope it's not a sibling tie, it will be too disappointing," Jane muttered.

"Yeah… Too disappointing…" Chelsea commented. Jane sighed and pulled her as they ran away, without being spotted by a shocked Bella.

Jane POV:

"Yo! Bro!" I greeted cheerfully as I stepped in with Chelsea. He still looked a little uncomfortable and he mumbled a quick 'hi' before escaping towards his room.

"WAIT!" I yelled. I heard him sigh and stepped back down before asking,

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"So…what did she say?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Ah, she said 'yes', can I go now?" he asked, darting his eyes to his room. I sighed and nodded. With that, he dashed up to his room.

"What's wrong with him?" Felix asked, scratching his head. I stepped closer to him and smirked.

"You will know in time," I whispered in his ear and he shivered. I kissed his cheek and dragged Chelsea upstairs, leaving a shocked Felix, touching his cheek.

Bella POV:

I opened the bedroom after saying 'goodnight' to Charlie. Did Alec just kiss me? Instinctively, I fingered my lips again. I lay down on my bed, still thinking. Does Alec like me? I shook my head, thinking that it's impossible.

And I fall asleep a while after that… Dreaming of Alec.

Third POV: (A/N: Sorry for changing POVs so many times…)

Alec sat on Bella's window sill, looking at her face and thinking of how perfect their kiss is. Bella suddenly turned and Alec looked at her with a loving expression that nobody had seen on his face before, except his sister, Jane.

"Don't go… Don't go…" Bella mumbled in her sleep.

Alec sighed and expected her to mumble Edward's name when he heard his name.

"Don't go, Alec… Don't leave me…" she mumbled, tears trickling down from the corners of her eye.

Alec walked towards her, not really believing she just called out his name. That Bella said his name in her dreams. He stroked her cheeks gently, and used another hand to wipe away her tears.

"I will never leave you… Never…" he mumbled.

Bella POV:

I sat up and rubbed my eyes, smelling a sweet fragrance in my room. a mixture of lilies and lavender. That smells like… Alec? I shook my head, he can't possibly come to my room like he did… right?

I went to do all my usual things and put on a blue tank top with jeans before curling my hair a little more and leaving them. I took my bag and went down the stairs, just in time to hear a Charlie driving away. I smiled a little and made myself a strawberry jam sandwich and opened the door to meet a hyper Jane.

Okay, this is so weird.

"Er… Hi?" I greeted her. She giggled a little and dragged me to her car and I saw Alec sitting at the back seat. Oh god! Why is he at the back seat? Jane must have known what I'm thinking and she smiled.

"I was seeing if we can put in Chelsea and Felix and Chelsea will be sitting at the back seat with you guys while Felix will be sitting beside me," she grinned. I sighed and turned to greet Alec when I notice his lips and I immediately thought of what happened last night and blushed.

"Er…Hi," I raised my hand up.

"Hi," he replied, waving. Okay, awkward…

"Jane?" Alec and I asked at the same time. We looked at each other and looked down at the ground. And he coughed a little. Jane giggled and said,

"Yes?"

"When are they coming?" I asked.

"Here they are now!" Jane grinned and from the corner of my eye I saw her flash a thumbs-up to Chelsea and she whispered something to Felix who grinned.

I frowned a little and saw Alec thinking too hard to notice. I sighed and Chelsea grinned and said,

"Hey, Alec, move closer to Bella, I'm not an ant, you know."

Alec looked surprised and moved closer to me and Chelsea grinned a little before pushing Alec close to me and she sat down, ignoring the glaring Alec.

"Yes?" she asked innocently. Alec huffed and turned to me and that's when I noticed that the distance between us is really small. He smirked a little at my surprised expression. Oh right, here's the normal Alec back.

"So we need to be a couple in school…or did you forget?" he whispered, his breath caressing my ear. I shivered and I heard a few giggles in the car. I turned beet red and turned away from him.

"So what did you guys do last night?" I heard Jane ask. Both of our head snapped to her at an amazing speed and shouted at the same time,

"NOTHING!" she smirked and raised an eyebrow knowingly while Chelsea giggled. Felix looked sceptical at our expressions too. Did I miss out something? I opened the door and stepped out, ignoring the gossips and I froze when I felt a cold hand drape around my shoulders.

"What are you doing?" I hissed, although I feel very safe with his arms around me.

"Pretending to be your boyfriend," he grinned, pulling me closer to him. I blushed a little, trying to ignore the glares his fan girls were giving me. I saw Desmond running forward when he saw me and Alec, he frowned.

"Hi, Desmond!" I greeted, waving my hands. I saw Alec gritting his teeth and tightened his hold around me.

"Bella, you and Alec…?" he asked, still frowning.

"Oh, we're pr-" I started but got cut off by Alec.

"We're a proper couple now," Alec said, looking at him. I widened my eyes incredulously.

"What? When?" I asked, confused. Desmond grinned and smirked at Alec.

"She didn't agree to it so you aren't official."

Alec gritted his teeth and stormed away, pulling me with him. I waved to Desmond who smiled back at me.

"What the heck are you doing?" I asked angrily, taking my arm out of Alec's strong grip.

"Taking you to class," he muttered, holding my hand again.

"Huh? I mean what happened just now? Why did you do that?" I asked.

"I don't like him and I don't like my best friend," he sneered at 'best friend', "hanging out with people I don't like."

I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him before walking inside the classroom and sitting next to Jane. I waved to Chelsea and she smiled at me.

"Hey, Jane," I mumbled.

"Hi, what's the matter? You look like you're in quite an okay mood this morning," she commented.

"Nothing really, that Alec said that he won't let his best friend hanging out with people he don't like. That really pisses me off! What right does he have to control who I hang out with?" I grumbled.

Jane giggled and she said, "Maybe he's not controlling you, just you know, concern that Desmond may snatch you away from him?"

I rolled my eyes and said, "That's so unrealistic, I don't like Desmond that way, I treat him like my best bud!"

I smiled, punching my shoulder lightly. Jane sighed.

"When are you ever going to see it?" she asked.

"See what?" I asked, confused.

"Nothing…" she mumbled, sighing again.

I scratched my head a little, trying to figure out what she meant and gave up when the teacher came in. Today, time really flies. I was trying to think of what to do after school when someone tapped me on my shoulder.

I jumped in fright just to see a grinning Alec behind me. I patted my chest and growled.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" I asked, still trying to calm my beating heart.

"Nope," he replied, popping the 'p'.

"Wait, yes, that would be great, I will be able to change you then," he said, grinning.

I shook my head and stepped into his car, waiting for Jane to come out.

"So what are you thinking just now?" he asked me, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing, really. I was quite bored," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.

"Well, maybe you can come my house for a sleepover tonight or something? I'm sure the girls, especially Jane would be happy," he asked, looking uncertain.

"Of course, why not?" I laughed, punching his shoulder and forgetting about his vampire strength.

"Owww!!!" I yelped, shaking my hand and trying to numb the pain.

"Hey, are you alright?" he asked, his eyebrows creasing in concern. He took my hand and examined it carefully.

"You don't need to do that, Alec, it's normal," I told him, trying to pull my hand away from his.

"What's normal? Having a bruise on your hand?" he sighed, shaking his head. He looked up, his golden eyes piercing into mine.

"It's really…okay," I told him, still looking into his eyes.

"Ahem!" someone coughed. Both of us jumped and we saw a smirking Jane.

"Coming our house?" she asked.

"Yeps!" I grinned. She squealed and bounced for a minute before starting the engine and speeding away from school.

"Well, I will help you buy some clothes and call your father, Chelsea can keep you entertained for the moment," she rambled.

I nodded my head, trying to keep my smile. Alec just rolled his eyes.

"ALEC VOLTURI! Did you just roll your eyes at me?" Jane yelled. Alec rolled his eyes again, obviously enjoying his sister's anger.

"You're coming shopping with me," she told him, her eyes glinting dangerously.

"Oh GOD!" Alec yelled but he was being pulled away by Jane. I giggled and I turned when I heard the front door open. Chelsea skipped in happily and smiled at me.

"Come here, I want to talk to you," she grinned before pulling me towards a room. I raised my eyebrows and she giggled.

She gestured to a chair and shut the door. I smiled and sat down.

"So… what do you want to talk about?" I asked.

"About Alec…" she told me, her expression turning serious.

A/N: Okay, guys, I know. This chapter is a bit random? Okay, I don't know. Hehe… But look forward to the NEXT chappy! XD

Alec: Ermm… Excuse me, but what are you planning?

Luvnovels123: And why should I tell you?

Alec: I'm the… Yeah, I'm the character in this story!

Bella: Hey, I am one too… Hmm, what about this, you tell me, I don't tell Alec. *winks*

Alec: Hey! How can you say that? I'm after all your boyfriend in this story.

Bella: Let me correct you, PRETEND boyfriend.

Luvnovels123: Soon to be real boyfriend… *grins cheekily*

Alec: Really?!

Bella: WHAT?!

Luvnovels123: And yeps, so the person who say review first will get to know the exciting part of the next chappy! XD

Alec: Please… REVIEW!

Bella: Review!

Both of them look at each other before looking at me.

Alec and Bella: Hey I said it first!

Bella: No, you didn't!

Alec: Yes, I did!

Both of them glares at each other and start arguing again.

Luvnovels123: Well, I can't say anything like this right? So you guys have to wait to the next chapter!

Thank you so much for reviewing! XD
