DISCLAIMER: STEPHENIE MEYER OWNS ALL THINGS TWILIGHT!
Chapter 12: Shopping Mishaps
E.P.O.V
"So what exactly am I in charge of again?" Alice asked slowly.
"You're in charge of getting her ready and having her outside this door by eight o'clock." I explained again.
"Ok, just making sure this is coming out from your mouth before Bella thinks this was all my idea. I don't exactly need another punishment." She grumbled under her breath.
"She won't get mad Al," I chuckled, "But please don't overwhelm her too much. She might not want to speak to me after the four hour torture you're going to put her through."
She waved her hand dismissively and rolled her eyes. "Setting boundaries never works for me dear brother, so might as well let me do what I want."
I sighed knowing she was right and kissed her on her cheek. "Thank you, I owe you and Rose big time for this."
Alice shook her head and smiled. "Not for this one Edward. I want her to be just as happy with you as you want her to be. I know she's different then all the other bimbos you've dated."
"I know Alice. I can feel that with her. And I want her to see how special she is from the beginning of this relationship."
"Oh you're going to show her alright." She laughed. "Speaking about that, Emmett and Jasper are going to be down there in about an hour with all of the supplies you needed. Rose and I went shopping last night and got everything you said."
"Ok thank you, remember eight o'clock and don't mention a word to her!" I said seriously. I wanted this to be a surprise for Bella. One she would always remember.
B.P.O.V
I was more than angry at this point of our "fun-filled girl day." I wasn't expecting to see the mall or any sort of clothing store for at least four more days, which is when my little contract with Alice ended. But no, she just couldn't keep to the agreement we had made and decided that forcing me out of my own house was the best way to make me go…shopping. I shuddered even thinking about the word. Let alone if it was with Alice. That just made my heart want to stop and never start up again.
"Bella, what about this one? It's not as short as the other one." Alice said, she lifted the dreadful dress up for me to see and smiled.
"Yes, Alice you're right." I agreed glumly. It looked like all the other twenty dresses she had pointed out to me in the last twenty stores we had gone too. Literally. I was less than enthusiastic at this point and I had no problem with letting her know that.
She turned her head slightly and bit her lip, not even noticing my annoyed face. "But I don't think black is your color. You're already so pale…"
"Alice!" I interrupted her critique. "Why are we even looking for a dress?" I asked, exasperated.
"Because I told you to choose between looking for a dress or a new pair of shoes, but you didn't answer!"
"I did answer! I said I didn't want either!"
"Ya but that wasn't a choice."
"Argghh," I said, stomping over to Rosalie. "Please help me." I whispered pleadingly.
"Can't love, sorry."
I groaned, covering my face with my hands and sitting next to her on the bench. "I just say you go along with it. The more cooperative you are, the sooner we both get to leave. It's no fun when you're being a grouch."
"I am not being a grouch!" I winced at how loud my voice sounded and smiled apologetically when Rose raised an eyebrow at me.
"Sorry. I just want to go home and…"
"Be with Edward?" she smirked.
"Maybe." I smirked back. "That's ten times better than being here. But why exactly couldn't the boys come again?"
"They had to help Esme over at the store. She had some new furniture coming in today."
I groaned again and laid my head on her lap.
"I'll tell you what. We can play this game Alice and I always play when we're bored. That way she'll find you a stupid dress, but we'll have fun at the same time."
I nodded my head as I thought about her proposition. "That sounds ok."
Rosalie stood up and walked over to Alice, who was now speaking with an employee and holding up two dresses that I wouldn't be caught dead in.
"What about these Bella? Ashley says they have this one in blue, or you can get it…"
"Ok whoa Alice, calm down. Why don't we take a breather and play dress-up?" Rose suggested sweetly.
"I don't want to play that game!" I yelled, at the same time Alice growled, "We don't have time for that Rose!"
"You're complaining that you don't want to be here," she argued, pointing at me. "And I know you're desperate to find her a dress, but unless you both don't agree to what I'm saying then we're going to have a problem here!"
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Fine."
"Ya ok," Alice agreed hesitantly. "But if we don't find her a dress because we're messing around then I'm telling Ed-"
Rosalie smacked Alice on the shoulder then and she shut-up quickly. Her grey-colored eyes went wide.
I narrowed mine. "Tell Edward what?"
"Nothing Bella. She just meant she's going to complain to Edward that you're not being very nice right now. That's it." Rosalie replied.
"Mmhmm." I responded slowly. I didn't believe that little excuse but the longer I fought with them the longer my freedom would be delayed.
"Alrighty then, first off we each have to pick our victims." Alice said, making her voice go lower as she said victims.
"It doesn't sound very fun when you say it like that." I mumbled under my breath.
Rosalie only laughed and leaned her head against my shoulder.
Alice took out a piece of paper from her purse and ripped it into three different pieces. She then wrote down our names on each piece and put them down onto the bench. Rosalie scrambled them up and smiled.
"Ok, who's picking first?" she smirked.
"I'll go." I volunteered, and leaned down to pick up the now crumbled up paper. "Alice." I read once I had opened mine.
"My turn!" Alice chirped. "Looks like I got you Rose."
"So that means I have Bella." She concluded.
"Now what do we do?" I asked when they turned to look at each other and smile.
"From here on out it's simple. We go into different stores and pick out clothes for whatever person we picked out. We can't refuse to wear anything and we have to model the outfit before taking it off. No excuses allowed." Alice explained.
My frown turned into a very devious smile. "Why now that, sounds like fun." I said, looking at Alice. "I hope you're ready to wear some very…interesting pieces of clothing Allie."
She only glared at me and turned around to head back into the store. Rosalie laughed and walked over to give me a high five. "Now this is going to be interesting."
"We each have exactly five minutes to pick out as many outfits as we can and meet back here. Go!"
As soon as Alice gave the word I speed walked around the store to try and find the most hideous shirts or pants I could find.
I snickered as I spotted some cheetah printed pants and a neon green tank top that read "Party Freak" in big black letters.
"I know she'll freak when she sees these pants." I giggled to myself.
I walked around the store, grabbing anything I could find that Alice wouldn't even considering wearing. I sighed frustrated when I reached the men's part of the store. This was harder than I thought. I was about to turn around when I stopped abruptly and bit my lip.
"It wouldn't hurt." I thought to myself as I ran to find some men clothes. I only had about two minutes before I had to go back, so I quickly grabbed the smallest size they had in jeans, along with a vest and a long pink shirt. She would seriously get a kick out of that.
"To the dressing rooms!" Rosalie announced once we had all met up again.
I handed Alice her clothes while Rose handed me mine.
"Umm Bella, I don't think these are women's clothes." She blinked at me with a confused expression.
"Let's just say I had a little trouble staying on the women's side of the building." I said sarcastically.
I heard her gasp as I stepped into my dressing room and laughed when I heard her mutter a string of profanities.
"Be a good sport Al!" I yelled out to her.
"Why don't you try on men's clothing and then try and be a good sport!"
I laughed loudly and leaned against the wall for support after thinking about how ridiculous she would look in well…everything I picked out for her! I only stopped laughing when Rosalie pushed back the curtain and handed me an arm full of dresses.
I instantly grimaced and she laughed. "I promise they're not skimpy so please try them all on."
I nodded and rolled my eyes as I closed the curtain back up.
"Is everyone ready for their first outfit?" Rosalie asked after I had zipped up the first dress I thought would look decent on me. I turned around and shrugged after realizing it didn't look too bad. It was shorter than I would like but I would live.
"Yep." I answered back.
"Ok, let's start this bad-ass fashion show!"
We all stepped out and I immediately looked towards Alice, who didn't look too happy at the moment.
She was still staring at the cheetah printed pants, and her party freak shirt with a look of horror.
I heard Rosalie laugh and I turned around to hide my giggles. Alice looked like she was about to explode…
"You sure are a party freak with those cheetah pants you partying pixie!" Rosalie said in an English accent.
I couldn't contain myself anymore and burst out laughing at how ridiculous that sentence was. My stomach hurt from laughing so hard at her comment that I didn't notice Alice go back into her dressing room.
"Hey Ms. Party P! Come back out here!" I yelled after her and went over to her dressing room.
"What does Party P mean Bella?"
"Well Party Pixie of course Rosalie!"
We both burst out laughing again when Alice opened up the curtain in her regular clothing.
"You guys are mean." she pouted and went over to sit on a chair the store provided, crossing her arms angrily.
"Aww come on Al, we're just messing around," I giggled. "See, what do you think of my dress?" I twirled around once for her and smiled once I faced her again.
I was in a better mood now and I didn't mind trying on all the dresses Rose had picked out for me. Speaking of Rose, I hadn't even noticed what Alice picked out for her.
I turned to look and noticed she was wearing some regular red skinny jeans with a black blouse. She actually looked pretty in them since the pants fit her body shape well. Then again what didn't look pretty on her. My self-esteem could answer that question for you.
"I don't like that one. It's not the right one."
"The right one?" I was confused now. "What exactly are we picking out a dress for Alice?"
"Nothing. I just don't like that color on you. How many more dresses do you have left?"
"About seven." I estimated.
"Hmm," I heard her say. She walked over to my dressing room and looked at all the dresses I had hung up. "Here, try these two on and we'll see which one looks best."
She pushed me back in and closed the curtain quickly. I looked at my options and sighed. "I'll only try them on if you put on the men's clothes." Might as well have a little fun.
"Aww Bella, come on!"
"Nope, no excuses remember?"
I heard her groan loudly, so taking that as a yes, I unzipped the dress to try it on.
"Ok are you ready?" I heard her grumble.
I laughed and responded with a yes, opening the curtain to see Rose in a very pretty black dress, while Alice was standing beside her in the men's jeans, pink shirt, and multicolored vest.
I gasped, finding the way her small frame was practically draped with clothes that were way too big on her hilarious. I laughed and turned to look at Rosalie who had a hand over her mouth and looking down at Alice.
"You would make one very good looking man." I smiled sweetly.
She rolled her eyes but couldn't help but giggle. "I would wouldn't I?"
"Hell ya!" Rosalie replied honestly. "Looks like you have two alter egos now. Ms. Party P and Al…bert."
We all had to lean on each other for support after Rose took a couple of seconds to think of a man name that matched Alice's.
Two girls walked in then and gave us weird looks but we just continued to laugh until we couldn't breathe.
"So what about my dress?" I asked, after our laughter had died down.
"I like it." Alice said, walking around me to see the dress from all sides.
It was a purple, strapless dress that flowed all the way to the bottom. It was plain, but still looked really elegant. It just wasn't for me.
"I don't. It's really pretty but I don't think I'll survive falling if I step on it. It's really long…"
"I agree." Rosalie added. "I think you should try on the next one."
I nodded and went back inside, emerging with a beautiful midnight blue dress.
It was short, but not short enough to make me feel uncomfortable. It was embroidered at the top and was strapless.
"Oh my gosh! You look beautiful Bella!" Alice squealed as she ran over to me.
I, of course, blushed and turned around to look at my reflection. "I really like this one." I admitted.
"So you do have curves. I guess they were hiding under all those sweatpants and sweaters." Rosalie smirked.
I rolled my eyes but smiled once looked at the dress again.
"A little bird on the street also told me that's Edward's favorite color on you." Alice whispered in my ear.
I laughed and the pinkness on my cheeks turned into a scarlet red.
"Why haven't you changed out of those clothes?" I giggled looking at Alice.
"She claims they're comfortable and people are giving us weird looks, which is pretty hilarious," Rosalie explained. "Exhibit A."
I turned to look and noticed a group of girls had walked in. They walked towards the dressing rooms next to ours and stared all the way there.
It wasn't until Alice glared at them that they quickly averted their eyes and went into their separate rooms.
We burst out into quiet giggles and I nodded in agreement. "Worth staying in those clothes."
"Picture time."
"Hey!" I yelled when I saw the flash of the camera when I wasn't looking.
"Oh come one. You look hot and I seriously need to get a picture of Alice in these clothes."
"I have no problem with that." Alice said.
"Well I do think Jasper needs to see Albert. He might like him more than he likes you."
"You got that Rose." Alice winked.
I laughed. "Okay okay, you two lets take some damn pictures!"
The first one we took was of Alice and I showing off our outfits. All of a sudden Alice got down on one knew and grabbed my left hand, to which I exaggerated a gasp. I heard Rosalie laugh and quickly snap a picture.
I then, grabbed the camera and told Rose to pose for me. She turned around and looked over her shoulder, winking at the camera. (Emmett really needed to see that one.)
"Wow Rose. You are really photogenic." I mumbled as I looked at it.
"Yes, that's why she does part time modeling." Alice said, going over to her and jumping on her back.
"I believe that." I laughed as I snapped the picture.
"Oh so this is the noise that the employees are talking about outside." I heard someone say.
I turned around and knew that my good mood would be ruined if she didn't leave soon.
"Bella, Alice, Rosalie." Tanya nodded towards us. Her group of minions followed behind her as she walked towards us.
"My my, if it isn't the wicked witch herself," Rosalie said, coming over to stand next to me.
"Oh please Rosalie, that phrase has been used one two many times." She rolled her eyes and flipped back her strawberry blonde hair.
"Well to describe you of course."
She narrowed her eyes, but didn't retaliate. Which in my opinion was a smart move. The last person I would want to piss off was Rosalie.
She looked at me, and her glare turned into a smirk.
I rolled my eyes, knowing she was going to say something to me about the last time I saw her.
"So have you thought a little more clearly about my suggestion Bella?"
And how did I know that was coming…
"If your "suggestion" was supposed to scare me, I can assure you it didn't." I said sourly. "Actually, we all felt pretty sorry for you when we noticed you have to threaten people to get what you want. It must surely get you a lot of friends." I continued sarcastically. I didn't exactly know where the confidence came from, but I sure as hell liked the feeling.
"No you're wrong about that. It doesn't gain me any friends, just scared stupid girls that end up doing what I say. And believe me it's not a threat, but more like a promise. I wouldn't want to disappoint you by going back on my word."
My confidence shrunk and I ended up glaring back at her, at loss for words.
"I'm pretty sure Edward wouldn't like it if we told him about what you said to her." Alice said, "I mean that's the thing. He doesn't need you as his "best friend" anymore. He has Bella."
By the time Alice finished with her sentence, I could see Tanya fuming. Even though telling Edward wasn't an option, it seemed like a good threat to use against her. Especially if that threat came from Alice. It made sense for her to think he would believe his own sister over herself. But I knew a little better.
The thought made me sad. Knowing that Edward could possible favor Tanya more than all of us combined, kind of hurt.
"Come on. I don't think I want to be near her anymore or I might just let my fist slip and connect with her eye." Rose growled, pushing me toward my dressing room to change.
I laughed lightly and closed the curtain.
Once I had agreed to a cute black, leather jacket Alice had found for me, paid and gotten our clothes in bags, Alice dragged me to a shoe store and made me try on hundreds of heels. She ended up deciding on some black pumps that I would surely break my neck in. When I argued about buying them, she whined that my outfit wouldn't be complete if I didn't. After several minutes of arguing, I felt Rosalie drop a bag near my feet and walk out of the store.
I looked down and noticed she had bought the heels, without my permission.
"What is it with you two and buying things for people!"
"Its for your birthday, or Christmas, or Easter! Pick one! But believe me Bella, it's no big deal!"
"Says the two rich girls walking in front of me." I mumbled as I grabbed my now very expensive heels.
"I think we can go home now. The dress is beautiful enough for you to wear without jewelry." She decided once we were near the entrance.
I squealed loudly and practically ran towards the doors at hearing this.
Once we got home, it was around five o'clock and the clouds were already starting to get darker. It rained every night, but I didn't really mind the soft pitter-patter on the roof anymore. It was actually very soothing to hear.
"Hey girls. Dinner is just about ready so you should go wash up and be down here in about ten minutes." Esme said to us as we walked into the kitchen.
"Need any help Esme?" I asked, which was now a habit whenever I came over.
She smiled lovingly and shook her head. "No thank you sweetheart I'm fine. The chicken is almost ready anyway. I'm sure your exhausted either way. My daughter's tend to wear most people out when it comes to shopping." She said, noting the bags I had hanging from my arms.
I saw Rosalie smile, and even blush when she heard Esme use the plural word of daughter. Esme knew the exact things thing's to say to make your heart swell.
"They don't call me a hyperactive pixie for nothing!" Alice called out cheerfully.
Esme only laughed and shook her head. "Go wash up girlies."
"Oh and Bella, Edward left this for you before he left today." She stopped me before I left. She pushed an envelope towards me with my name written in beautiful writing on the front.
"He's not here today?" I asked, saddened that I couldn't spend some time with him after a long day of torture.
"No, but he said he'll be here before you leave. I'm guessing he left the letter for you since he said his phone would be turned off all day. Don't know what he's up to but it must be important."
I was actually a little worried now. "Umm ok, thank you Esme."
"Oh and Bella, one more thing. I was actually wondering if you would want to help me cook on Saturday. You could invite your dad and we could have a nice big meal." She suggested.
I nodded and gave her a huge smile, excited to finally be able to learn some new dishes. It sounded like a lot of fun too. Especially with Esme.
"That would be great Esme! I could bake some desserts too after helping you make the food."
"Okay, Thank you Bella." She said as the timer went off for the chicken.
I went upstairs to quickly wash my hands, when I remembered I had the letter from Edward.
I was not a very patient person, so I was ripping the white paper in no time.
Sweetheart,
I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you got home from you're shopping trip with Alice. I know you must be exhausted and not in a good mood. If she hasn't mentioned this to you, it was actually my idea for her to take you. I know you probably won't like the next part of your day, but please just listen to Alice. Life is easier that way-trust me. I know this might not make sense right now, but you will soon find out what I'm talking about.
Can't wait to see you later Isabella,
Edward
I smiled at the sight of my full name above his. It was so like him to leave me a letter if he knew he wasn't going to be able to talk to me in the time being.
He hadn't mentioned anything about going anywhere all day, (believe me I would of remembered), so I would have to remind myself to ask before he dazzled me wordlessly.
I did have to say that I was confused about his last comment, but if it would save me the complete agony by listening to Alice then I would.
Once we had eaten Esme's wonderful dinner, Rose and Al let me watch some T.V with Emmett and Jasper, who had gotten home just in time for dinner. (They didn't play when it came to their food.) They both said they had to get something ready for me upstairs, and would call me up when they where finished.
"You think you and my mom would be able to cook me that, Bellarella?" Emmett asked excitedly.
"I don't know Em. If you write down the ingredients then I could try." I giggled.
Emmett had gotten a little more than excited when Esme mentioned that I was going to help her cook on Saturday. He had said something about having "two major chefs in the kitchen." He hadn't tasted any of the food I had made for Charlie so I guessed he was basing my cooking techniques on how I baked. He had loved my brownies!
"Ok Bella all ready!" Alice yelled from upstairs.
I groaned and buried my face into one of the couch pillows.
"You're girlfriend is driving me insane." I said to Jasper, my words muffled by the pillow.
"Oh come on Bells, she just wants you to have fun." He replied back, surprising me when he actually understood what I said.
"Bella!" Rosalie shouted soon after.
"And there goes Rose." I mumbled as I got up from the couch. I heard the boys chuckling and rolled my eyes as I went upstairs.
"What is with the yelling?" I asked when I had gotten to Alice's room. They were standing side by side, smiling widely while they blocked the view toward the bathroom.
"Why are you smiling like that? Its kind of creepy." I said, walking over to Alice's bed."
"Oh no you don't!" Alice said grabbing my hand. "Come into the bathroom to see what your next surprise is!"
"What was my last surprise?" I asked tiredly as she pulled me toward the bathroom.
"Shopping!" She squealed loudly.
"Then this cannot be good."
When she opened the door I knew why Edward had said to listen to her rather than fight. But seeing this, it was going to be harder than I thought.
She had completely turned her bathroom into a makeup/hair studio. I couldn't see anything that a regular bathroom would contain because the counter was lined up with different make-up products.
"Bella-Barbie time." Rosalie whispered into my ear.
"There is no way in hell!" I said loudly for both of them to hear. I turned around, planning to run downstairs and start my car before they could stop me. They didn't even let me get to Alice's bedroom door.
"Aww come on Bells, why not?"
"Alice! I went shopping; I bought a new dress, new shoes! This is just over the top!"
"We promise we won't go overboard. You can take a nice, hot quick shower and then Rose will start on your hair while I do your make-up."
I looked down at the counter and back over to the shower. A quick bath didn't sound too bad, and if they promised to be quick about it then I'm sure I wouldn't get too restless.
I sighed, "Fine, but I have a say on how much make-up gets put on me and if this takes way too long, whether or not you are finished, I get to leave. Deal?"
"Deal!" they said simultaneously.
After a quick twenty-minute bath, they handed me a soft fluffy robe and had me sit down on a chair. Rosalie quickly started to put mousse in my hair, scrunching it up every so often, while Alice began putting something on my face.
"What's that for?" I asked curiously, once she had finished applying it.
"It's supposed to keep your skin soft and keep your make-up from running."
"Oh." I said, simply.
"You have freakin horse hair Bella." Rosalie complained behind me. She had started to make small curls into my now wavy hair.
I looked at her reflection from the mirror and saw she had a frustrated expression on her face.
Alice laughed. "What do you mean by that?"
"She has such thick hair and a lot of it too."
"Well it's better than thin and bald." I mumbled.
"Close." Alice said giggling when she heard my comment. I quickly closed my eyes as she applied some eye shadow, which I was surprised she hadn't finished by now.
"Alice how much more of that gunk are you going to put on me?" I asked frustrated.
"Relax, its not a lot when you look at it and I'm finished with the eye shadow."
"Good." I said, ready to turn around to see what she had done to my face.
"Nope." She said, grabbing my face to keep me from turning it.
"Why can't I look?"
"Not until we're both finished. Which might be a while because apparently you have horse hair."
I huffed, but listened nonetheless.
"And. I. Am. Done." Rosalie said as she sprayed something in my hair one last time.
I felt like I had been sitting on the toilet for hours, my butt was numb and I was already annoyed.
"Finally!" I yelled, jumping up.
I twirled around and froze, staring at my almost unrecognizable reflection.
My hair was in soft curls, which framed my face perfectly. My brown eyes seemed to pop more than they ever have before. My eyelashes were long, and my eyes were covered in a light smoky eye, which Alice had done perfectly.
"I look…"
"Beautiful?" Alice finished for me, smiling at my surprised expression. "Remember, I'm just the painter. You're the beautiful canvas I had the pleasure to work on." She giggled.
I blushed, smiling as I turned around to thank her.
"Why don't you put this on and then we'll get to whistle and make you feel sexy." Rosalie said as she handed me the dress I had bought earlier.
"You guys really take this make-over thing seriously." I said as I closed the bathroom door and put on the dress and heels.
I walked out and laughed as both their jaws dropped dramatically.
As promised, they whistled and shouted out how pretty and beautiful I looked, which, after a while, earned the attention of both Emmett and Jasper who came up the stairs to see what the whole noise was about.
"I am sorry little sister, but I am not allowing you to walk out of the house like that." Emmett said walking over to me with the robe I had just finished using.
"Hey! This outfit is not even inappropriate!" I said, dodging him as he tried to put it on me.
"Emmett you're going to ruin her make-up!" Alice yelled.
Jasper only laughed. "You look beautiful Bells."
"Thank you Jasper." I enunciated looking at Emmett.
"I didn't say you didn't look pretty, I just don't think Edward would appreciate it if twenty other guys compliment you like that."
I laughed. "I promise you they won't. Besides, I'm not even going out tonight so this is coming off in about twenty seconds." I said, walking over to the bathroom.
"Hey, nope, nuh uh. You cannot take that off yet." Rosalie said. She pulled me over to sit next to her on the bed and I pouted.
"Why not?"
"Because. You sat on that toilet for an hour and a half just to go and take off all our hard work?"
I shrugged. "Good point."
"Where's your purse Bella?" Alice asked suddenly.
"Downstairs, why?"
"Just asking. Why don't you go put on the jacket you bought to go with it? I want to see how it looks."
I agreed to it and went into the bathroom to look into the bag. I quickly put it on and went out to hear everyone else's opinion.
"That looks really nice." Emmett said, smiling hugely.
I laughed, knowing he was trying to make up for earlier. "Thank you Emmie. Where's Alice?" I asked when I noticed she was gone.
"She went downstairs to get something really quick. She should be back up in a couple of minutes."
I nodded. "So can I take this off now?"
"Nope."
"Come on Rose! It's almost eight and I should be going home in a little…"
I was interrupted by Alice's calling out my name loudly from downstairs.
I sighed and walked slowly down the stairs to keep myself from falling and surely breaking my neck.
I saw the front door was open so I instinctively went toward it to see if she was outside.
"Allie?" I said quietly when she didn't call out my name again. I got to the front door and saw her standing outside, looking out towards the rode.
"Alice what are you doing?" I asked when she didn't reply to me the first time.
She jumped and spun around. "You scared me! I didn't think you'd get down here so fast with those heels on!"
I chuckled. "Sorry. What are you doing out here?"
She smiled once I asked my question and handed me a small handbag.
"Umm thank you?" I said, unsure of why she was giving it to me. "Why are you giving this to me now. Outside…in the dark…?"
She walked around me and towards the door, climbing the steps quickly. "Because you'll need it. Edward should be here in a couple of minutes. Please have fun and remember to call me tomorrow! Love you!" She yelled as she ran inside and closed the door even before I could move.
"Alice!" I screeched as I ran to try and open the door. She had locked it so there was no way for me to get in.
I looked in the bag she had given me and noticed she had put everything I had in my purse into it. That sly little pixie hadn't asked me where it was for nothing.
I dug around for my phone quickly, my hands already shaking from the cold and my teeth chattering loudly. She had left me in a freakin dress, outside, and I was freezing! I dialed her number and waited for her to pick up, but the call went straight to voicemail. Her phone never did that so I knew she had done it on purpose.
"You better open this door now before I call your house phone and tell Esme!" I said when I heard the beep, indicating me that I could now leave a message.
This was not how I thought my night was going to end.
A/N: Hello! I know I haven't updated in such a long time now! School is just so time consuming and I can barely find any time for myself. Because of that I decided to make this chapter pretty long. I just wanted to have fun writing this and putting in the more serious stuff in the next chapter! I really do hope that you guys like this one and please review! I was actually very disappointed for the last chapter because I only received like two reviews. My point is, REVIEW PLEASE! Thank you so much!
-Edward Is My Lullaby (P.S I'm basically telling everyone I know this because I'm just so excited but I met and took a picture with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart! They even signed my Twilight book! I just thought this was appropriate because we're basically all obsessed with them on this site! They're both incredibly sweet and so beautiful I just couldn't contain myself from writing this!)
