Stay Another Day

Bella POV

I saw the Sun peeking through the blinds in Alice's room. I turned over to stretch and met face to face with Alice. A smile crept over my face without me realizing it.

"What are you smiling at, Bella?" She ask, smirking.

"..Huh? Oh, I don't know.." I said awkwardly.

Smooth, Bella, smooth.

"Well, good morning, anyway." She said, still smirking. " Are you hungry Bells?"

I sat for a minute thinking about whether or now I was actually hungry. Suprisingly, I wasn't hungry at all. Usually I was pretty hungry in the morning. I guess I was just still full from the amazing meal Esme made me last night after Alice and I got back from our walk.

That walk was so nice. I love being with Alice so much, and she looked so beautiful last night..

Ugh.

There's those thoughts again..

I've been trying to banish them since our kiss 'incident' but I really couldn't help it.

I was just so attracted to her, it was hard to contain. Even though I knew she didn't feel the same way.

Bullshit, Bella. You remember the other night when Victoria attacked. You've been thinking about it since that night.

I almost growled in frustration with the voice that kept undermining me.. Wait, was that undermining? Can you undermine yourself?

Focus, dumbass.

My mind snapped back into focus, remembering, again, what Alice said when Victoria attacked me.

Now leave now, and if you ever come near my Bella again, I will kill you.

Did you catch that, Bella? Of course you did. It's all you've been thinking about. my Bella.

I sighed, knowing that stupid, annoying little voice was right. She'd called me hers, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. And it was right after Bella kissed her..maybe Alice was feeling the same..

Apparently, I had a sour look on my face because my thoughts were interupted by Alice staring at me.

"You okay, Bells?" She questioned. "You've been acting weird this morning.."

"I'm fine." I told her, trying to think of an excuse. "I'm just..ah..I have a bit of a headache. I think it will go away in a little while though."

"Are you sure you're okay Bella?" Alice asked, obviously concerned.

Ah man. Not what I meant to do.

"Yeah, I'm fine Alice. It's starting to go away already.." I told her.

"Okay, as long as it's not getting worse." She said, eyeing me.

"I'm, um, gonna go shower." I said as I stumbled toward the bathroom. Alice nodded, and watched me the whole way to the bathroom.

I let out a sigh as I stepped into the shower, reveling the feeling of the steaming water running over my back. Even though I slept all night, my body was still completely exhausted.

I sat down in the shower, leaned against the wall, and closed my eyes. I wanted to clear my mind, get everything off of it except for Alice.

She seemed to be the only thing that could comfort me these days. I wished so bad that I could tell her how I felt.. Everything just felt so right in her arms, even if other people thought it was wrong (*cough*Edward*cough*).

I finally got enough energy to stand up and finishing washing myself.

When I was finally done, I grabbed a towel, wrapped it around myself, and walked back into Alice's room.

I swear I saw her eyes widen a little when I walked in wearing just the towel, and I was certain if Alice could have blushed, she would have been blushing. The thought made me smile. Alice was so cute.

She turned around facing the wall and let me dress, though I wished she would've just watched me.. Not that I would ever admit that to her.

"Okay Alice, I'm dressed." I told her, giggling a bit as I went to sit on the bed by her.

She turned around and looked at me. I matched her gaze, and wanted to make sure I wasn't the first to break it.

I was the first to break it, I realized very soon that having a staring contest with a vampire was very stupid. They don't get uncomfortable, and they don't really have to blink. So finally I asked. "Alice, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." She said slowly, finally breaking the gaze and appearing to be deep in thought. "Bella.." She started, then paused, as if trying to find the right way to say something.

What is she thinking that is making her pick such particular wording? Usually she knows just what to say..

I took her hand, hoping it would help, and then, suddenly, she leaned forward, just inches from my face. She was so close I stopped breathing. Our lips were so close..

And then Alice Cullen kissed me. I was so stunned it took me a second to realize what was happening and kiss her back.

Alice pulled away and looked me in the eye. "Isabella Swan," She said, "I love you."

I put my arms around Alice's neck and pulled her in to kiss me again. "And I love you, Alice Cullen." I whispered in her ear after I pulled away from our third ever kiss.

Alice smiled at me, and then closed her eyes, giving her some time to feel relief from the anxiety she was feeling from holding that in.

I finally know how she feels..she finally knows how I feel. I never thought I'd be this lucky..

I laid back on the bed, just letting myself feel the calm I finally had reguarding this. I felt Alice lay next to me, and I moved my head onto her chest, snuggling my body next to hers.

"Thank you, Alice.." I whispered as she stroked my hair.

"What for, love?" Alice asked.

"For telling me. I needed to hear it. I needed to know you wanted me the same way." I said, suprising myself. I never tell people my feelings in depth. It's a good thing I suppose.

"Your welcome, Bella. I'm just so happy you feel the same. I was worried it wasn't the right time to tell you, with Edward and all.." Alice continued.

"Screw dickwad." I snorted. "I care about you so much more. I realized how much that was when you guys left..all my thoughts were of you Alice.."

Alice just leaned down and kissed the top of my head. My body completely relaxed, and I fell asleep again, laying there with Alice. My Alice..

Yayyyy she finally said it! I wasn't quite sure how I wanted Alice to tell her, but I thought this way was appropriate and a little unexpected. I appreciate reviews 3
