Chapter 12
The easiest way to say this is that it was a long night, especially since neither of us got tired or needed to sleep. By the time morning rolled around I wished I could sleep. I felt mentally drained, even though it wasn't possible for me to get physically tired.
"Can we take a break?" I asked Edward around dawn.
"If you want to, we can." He murmured while kissing my neck. I was lying against his chest and resting my head on him.
"We should probably tell Alice of our plans." I murmured. Edward shuddered as I said that and I looked at him.
"She's going to be a little bit enthusiastic about that, I believe." He chuckled.
"You don't mean a little do you?"
"No, I don't" He laughed and kissed my lips. I wriggled free of his arms and got up to get dressed. I found a pair of faded jeans and a red top and tugged them on. Edward appeared behind me and grabbed my waist.
"Do we have to get dressed? Can't we just wait until tomorrow?" He nibbled on my ear and I shivered.
"No, I have a feeling if we don't go now, we won't ever. And Alice is probably expecting us knowing her."
"Sadly, I think you right." He groaned and grabbed a pair of jeans from his part of the closet and a white t-shirt that was just tight enough to show off his stellar abs.
He noticed me looking and smiled.
"I get the feeling you like this shirt?" He smiled at me.
"You guess right. Are you sure you can't read my mind?" I teased.
"Positive, although your actually getting a little clearer. Maybe I'll be able to hear you now that you're a vampire?" He thought out loud.
"Maybe." I smiled at him and grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the door. I found his Volvo sitting in our driveway and he got in the drivers seat.
We drove through Port Angeles and to Fork's at intense speed. It didn't bother me anymore, though. I could see perfectly clear and it actually felt too slow. Soon enough, we pulled up to the Cullen's house. I could see Alice running towards us and practically bouncing.
"You want to tell me something, don't you?" She asked. I laughed and nodded.
"I accept. I already have Esme and Rosalie ready to go to Seattle with me shopping. Leave it to me, Bella. I won't let you down."
Esme and Rosalie appeared at her side, smiling.
"We'll take her off your hands, honey. Don't worry; we've got it under control." Esme smiled at me.
"I trust you guys." And with that they set out leaving Edward and I to think of what we had just done.
