"So he was fine with it?" Angela asked me in disbelieve as we made our way towards lunch.
"He seemed to." I said with a shrug. "Maybe he just realized that he wouldn't stand a chance against Alice." I walked through the door and grabbed a plate.
"Or he has something mean in mind." Angela said and grabbed a bag of chips.
"I haven't told him that much but I needed to say something."
"Trust me the less he knows the better." Angela answered while handing me a bottle of water. "So how is everything at your house?" She asked me while we paid for our food.
"I still have to get used to the fact that I now have to share my bathroom. This morning was really awkward." I said and tried to sound like I didn't care about the fact that I walked in on Alice taking a shower.
"What do you mean?" Angela asked again and stepped in front of me, blocking my way.
"I might have seen Alice this morning, in the shower?" I said and could feel that I was turning red.
"Are you serious?"
"It was an accident." I tried to defend myself; I took a step forward and push Angela gently aside so that I could walk towards our table.
"Hey Bella." Eric greeted as I sat down between him and Edward, who was now surprisingly sitting at our table.
"Hi Eric" I started to munch on my salad, while the conversation at table was going comfortably.
"Bella?" Suddenly I got ripped out of my thoughts by a hand on my shoulder; I jumped and looked around to see Alice standing behind me. "Can I speak with you for a moment?" My mouth was suddenly so dry that I couldn't form any words. I felt someone kick me under the table and saw that Angela was motioning with her head.
"Sure." I said and got up slowly.
"Miss Weber, would you be so good as to excuse Bella in her next class; I know you have biology together." I looked over and saw Angela agree. I grabbed my water and the rest of my food to dump it. When we got outside I took a deep breath; we walked towards the parking lot and I was starting to wonder where she wanted to take me. "Do you have any stuff left that you need to get before we leave?" She suddenly asked.
"Umm…no, I don't think so." I said. "Where are we going?" I asked as she started to walk again, up until now I didn't realize that she had a jacket on and her bag slung over here shoulder.
"We are leaving; Jasper will take over my class." She said and walked to a yellow Porsche; she got her keys out and slid into the seat. I opened the door and got in.
"You know everyone at our table will talk about what you just did?" I asked her and looked over towards her.
"I might need your key because I'm staying at your house." She said with a small smile on her lips. I couldn't help but laugh at that.
"Right and I bet you don't know how to open the door with that key?" I saw her smile widen until it broke out into one of her most beautiful smiles.
"That would be right Bella." She said took a turn towards a little road that I remember would take you down to the beach.
"Seriously Alice, where are we going?" I tried again but she just turned the radio a little louder and started to sing along to the song in the radio. It was That's what makes you beautiful. Her voice was like velvet and I couldn't help but sing along with her and a few moments later we were singing out the lyrics as loud as we could with big smiles on our faces. We stopped at a parking lot that was overlooking some of la Push.
"I see you've found the local beach." I said and got out of the car. I looked back to see Alice standing next to the hood of the car watching me. "What?" I asked and a smile was tugging at my lips.
"You look beautiful." She whispered and walked towards me; I didn't know if I should walk away or just stay and let the thing play out. She stopped in front of me and then turned towards the beach. "I'm sorry that I kidnapped you like this." She said and leaned against the hood of the car.
"That is alright, any excuse to not go to biology and gym." I said with a small laugh and leaned next to her against the hood. "I'm sorry by the way." I said, with my eyes glued at the horizon.
"What do you mean?" Boy does she really want me to say it?
"I'm sorry for walking in on you earlier; I'm not used to share a bathroom and didn't really think to knock." I could feel the heat rising at the memory of this morning.
"It's alright and I'm sure you'll remember to knock the next time or better jet I'll just lock it." I wasn't expecting her to be so cool about it and said as much. She just laughed. "You didn't do it on purpose or did you?"
"On other occasions and in other situations I might have." I said playful and bumped her shoulder with mine. "I'm sorry how all of this has turned out."
"There is not really a lot we can do about it Bella. You can't control what you feel for someone." She said and looked at me with her deep blue eyes.
"I just wish all of this could be easier, that I could just act on my feelings and not second guess everything." I said and held her gaze for a little while.
"What would you do right now if you could act on them?" She asked in a whisper; I was so close to her that I could feel her breath on my cheek.
"I don't think that I need to tell you that because your eyes tell me that you would like to do the same." I said and broke the gaze before we actually could kiss.
"You right." She said and I heard her sight. A cold breeze was now coming at us from the water and I began to shiver. "Are you cold?" She asked me with a gaze in my direction.
"A little." I answered and wrapped my arms around my middle.
"Just a second." She said and walked around to the trunk of her car; I heard her rummage through a box. "Here we go." She returned with a black hoodie and handed it to me; I pulled it over my head and the scent of Alice engulfed me, without realizing it I took a deep breath.
"Thank you." I said and pushed myself up on the hood so that I could lean against the glass with my back. I watched Alice walk again towards the back of her car, this time she carried a blanket. "What else do you keep in that car?" I asked her with an amused smile; she gave me the blanket and mimicked my movements from before. Suddenly I found myself sitting next to Alice on the hood of her car with a blanket draped over our legs. "This is not how I expected this day to end." I told her honestly.
"Did you have any plans for today?" She asked suddenly on alert.
"Not really." I shrugged.
"I'm so stupid; I should have asked if there was something you had planed."
"Alice, stop. I didn't have any important plans. I would have gone home and I might have done some homework, which aren't done until next week so don't freak out." I tell her and put a reassuring hand on her thigh; I was about to pull away when I realized where my hand was.
"Leave it." She whispered and moved a little closer towards me to put her head on my shoulder. We sat like this for a while neither of us moving or saying anything. I wasn't worried that we were going to be seen since this spot was pretty hidden from any view by the trees. Suddenly I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, as much as I hated to move I answered it.
Where the hell are you? I heard Rosalie yell into my phone; I actually had to hold it a few inches away.
I'm sorry but I had some stuff to do. I told her and looked over towards Alice who was giving me a small smile.
You should come home; everyone is so worried about you. Is Alice with you? I looked at Alice who was listening as well; she gave me a short nod.
Yes she is with me. I heard a sight at the other end of the line.
I won't tell but please come home.
We'll do. I answered and hung up. "We should probably go." I said, even though I wanted nothing more than to stay in this place a little while longer.
"What if I don't want to go?" She asked me and looked straight at me; I couldn't help it I just leaned in and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek.
"This friendship thing is harder than expected huh?" I asked her and saw her nod in response. "Maybe we should talk about it again." I said waited for her to say something. "Maybe we should try." I said and tried to muster as much strength as I could to not let any hope shimmer through.
"Maybe we should." She said to my surprise and took my hand in hers. "You have to promise me that no one can know about this." She said and I nodded in response; I moved a step closer and wrapped my arms around her.
"I missed you." I whispered in her hair and felt her wrap her arms around my lower back.
"I can't tell you how much I missed you." I heard her and couldn't help but smile at that. When we finally broke apart; we got into the car and made our way back towards the house, the whole while holding hands.
xXx
After we got yelled at for not saying where we were going I was finally able to leave the living room and get something to eat from the kitchen since I was not really able to eat anything at lunch.
"There you are." I heard a voice behind me; I turned around to see that it was Alice. A soft smile was forming on my lips.
"I just really needed to eat something." I told her while I turned back around and busied myself with my sandwich. "Do you want anything?" I asked her before I dug into my own sandwich.
"No, thank you." She said and sat down next to me at the table. "We still need to talk a little more about what we are going to do next." Her voice was barley above a whisper.
"I thought that when I'm done with this that we could go upstairs and maybe make out a little." I joked but my smile died when I saw her serious face.
"I'm serious Bella." She just answered and I swallowed the last bite of my sandwich.
"I know you are that's why I tried to lighten the mood a little bit." I answered her and put my plate away. "How about we go upstairs right now and talk a little more in the privacy of my room." I offered and saw her get up from the corner of my eye. We slowly made our way upstairs; I almost tripped on the way to my room; I was just so nervous because of what was going to happen next. When I shut the door behind me; I leaned against it and watched Alice walk over towards the couch; I followed her and plopped down right next to her.
"So…" She just said and looked at me; I raised my eyebrows questioningly. "We need to take this slow, no one can know about this." She said and a small smile played across my lips.
"If this means I will be able to kiss you; I'm all for it." I said and leaned towards her.
"I mean it!" She said and tried to move away a little.
"Oh, so did I." I whispered and closed the distance between our lips. It was like every other kiss I shared with Alice; sweet and caring. I pulled her body a little closer to me and softly stroked her back with my left hand while my other hand was at the base of her neck. I felt her tongue nudge my lower lip and opened my mouth willingly. Before I knew what was happening the kiss was broken.
"That is not really taking it slow." Alice said; I could see that her chest was moving at a fast pace.
"I waited too long to kiss you again." I said and tried to kiss her again.
"Oh so 3 days ago is a long time?" She asked me with an amused smile on her lips.
"Yes." I just answered and pulled her back against my lips by her neck. We broke apart again and she started to laugh.
"Oh Bella." She said and gave me one of her most beautiful smiles. Her right hand went to my cheek and she started to caress it softly; her fingers going all the way up to my cheekbone and back down until they moved over to my lips. Her thumb was gliding over my upper lip and I kissed it. We looked each other in the eyes and were about to kiss again when there was a knock on the door. I groaned slightly, which caused Alice to giggle.
"Come in." I yelled over my shoulder and saw that Rosalie was poking her head through.
"I didn't mean to interrupt but I thought it would be better if I came and not someone else." She opened the door a little wider and took a step into the room. "I was supposed to switch with you tonight but now I'm not sure if I really need to." She said with a knowing smirk on her face.
"I'm sure Bella and I can mange." Came the response that actually surprised me; what happened to taking it slow?
"I thought so." Rosalie was about to close the door again but then she reopened it. "Oh, by the way congratulations." With that sentence she closed the door and I could help but start to laugh.
"Your cousin is way too smart." I heard Alice mumble behind me.
"Aw baby don't pout; she won't tell anyone and she might come in handy when we want to be alone." I tell her with a suggestive grin on my face.
"Get your head out of the gutter." She said and slapped my arm playfully.
"Oh, your dead." I said with fake anger and through myself at her; we start to wrestle until I have her finally pinned on her back with her hands above her head; my legs where straddling her on each side of her body. "I win." I say with a smirk and lean down to capture her lips with my own. After a while she bites my bottom lip playful and I lessen my grip on her hands. I start to roam her body with my hands and her hands do some wandering of their own. I feel her hand under my shirt and start to shiver when it starts to stroke my stomach. One of my hands has come to rest at her hip and I slowly push her shirt up a little.
"Bella?" She asks between kisses.
"Hmm?" I just manage because I'm too busy letting my hand go up towards the line of her bra.
"We should really stop, taking it slow, remember?" I open my eyes and look at her; her eyes say anything but stop.
"But I like kissing you." I said and made a pouty face; she smiled softly at me and I could feel her hand softly stroke over the material of my own bra; I close my eyes for a second and just felt her hand.
"We are not only kissing." She answered and touched a spot that made me moan. I could see her biting her lower lip.
"Do you really want to stop?" I ask her and move my hand just a little bit further up her body; her breath hitches when I start to massage her breast softly.
"It would be the adult thing to do." She said and I could tell that she tried really hard not to give into me.
"Right." I say and pull my hand from under her shirt; I get up and walk towards the bathroom. I turned around with my hand on the handle. "I'm going to take a shower." I said and pulled my shirt off; I saw Alice's eyes widen in shock. "I might not lock the door." I said and winked at her before I closed the door behind me.
Alice's POV
She can't just do that to me; I might get a heart attack. I was sitting on the couch debating if I should follow her or not. We agreed to take it slow but every part of my body wanted to join Bella under the shower. The decision was taken from me when there was another knock on the door.
"Come in." I said and got up from the couch; I stopped in my tracks when the door opened and my mother came in.
"Hey sweetie; I just wanted to bring up your last box of clothing." She said and handed me a big box.
"That's nice of you." I tell her and put the box next to the couch.
"I heard from Rosalie that you were going to stay here." She said and raised her eyebrow.
"Is that a problem?" I asked her, nervous under her gaze.
"Well considering your history it might not be the best thing." She said and closed the door to make sure that no one else could hear her.
"We are just friends or at least we try to be. We both agreed that this might be a good idea." I lied, hoping my mother would buy the story. I wanted to enjoy as much time with Bella alone until anyone else would find out.
"So you talked?" My mother asked.
"Yes; we did and both of us thought that we should try to be friends and nothing more at the moment. We both agreed." I repeated again as to make sure it stuck with my mother.
"Alright; I don't want to intrude any longer. I also have some stuff to do, prepare the rebuilding and such." With those words she left the room.
"You know; you can be quite a good liar." I heard a voice behind me and saw Bella standing in the door that leads towards the bathroom with nothing but a towel wrapped around her body. This girl was seriously trying to kill me.
"If needed." I said with a shrug and took a step towards her. I let my eyes glide over her body all the way from her face until down to her toes and back up again. My eyes stopped about a 2 thirds up.
"My eyes are up here; you know." Bella said with a knowing smirk on her face. My face snapped up and I couldn't help but blush.
"Right." I said and scratched the back of my neck. "Are you done in the bathroom?" I asked her; trying to gather my thoughts.
"Yup." I could hear the smile in her voice. I walked towards the bathroom door but got held by a hand on my wrist, suddenly I found myself pinned against the wall. Bella slowly came forward until her lips were right next to my ear. "Do you mind if we share the bed tonight?" She asked and her tongue traced the outer shell of my ear. A shiver ran down my spine and right into my pants; I whimpered slightly when I felt her teeth started to nibble on my ear lobe. "I take that as a yes." She whispered and kissed my cheek before she left me standing there. I walked into the bathroom with wobbly legs and closed the door behind me, slowly I made my way forwards and grabbed the sink with both of my hands while I took a deep breath. I could feel how much Bella had turned my on by those simple words. I looked up and saw my self in the mirror; I couldn't help but smile. I was happy and maybe a bit horny but that was beside the point. I took the chance and now I'm finally happy; happy to have this beautiful girl at my side. Sure it needed to stay a secret but we could be together. While I thought about the stuff that we still needed to discuss I started to change into my PJs. When I was done with everything I walked out and saw that Bella was laying in her bed with her hands crossed behind her head; she looked deep in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" I walked over to the bed and sat down at the edge.
"Life." She said all the while her eyes were closed.
"And?" I asked her, while I climbed under the covers.
"It's really good right now." She said with a smile and opened her eyes to look straight at me.
"I couldn't agree more." I said and moved down to kiss her lips. "Before we do any more of this can we talk about some ground rules?" I asked her and moved a little to the other side to create space between us. Bella sat up and leaned against the headboard.
"Sure." She said and waited for me to say something.
"First of all, no making out in school." I said and saw Bella smirk.
"Are you afraid that I'll attack you in your class room."
"It's not like we didn't kiss before in there." I answered. "No one can know about us." She nodded her head in response. "I know that Rosalie know but I prefer that it stays that way."
"Fine with me." I heard Bella say. "Anything else?" She asked and I could see that she moved closer towards me.
"No; I don't think…" I wanted to say but got cut off by Bella's lips; I slightly moaned into her mouth and grabbed her, both of us fell onto the bed with Bella on top of me. We kissed for a while but then things started to heat up again. "Bella?" I asked between kisses and she pulled away.
"Yes?" She asked me with innocent eyes; I smiled up at her. "Too fast?" She asked again and I nodded. Bella moved over to lay on her side and watched me while I took a calming breath as much as I hated to admit it Bella's kisses were having quite an affect on me.
"We should sleep." I said and cuddled into Bella's side while she put her arm around me to pull me close. I felt a kiss being pressed to my forehead and a content sigh left my lips.
"Good night." I heard Bella whisper before I drifted into a soft slumber.
So there it is. They are "officially" a couple now. Sorry that I had to stop them during their make out…but I want you guys to have something to look forward to. xoxo
