Hey all hope everyone is still with me.
Don't forget I only own the story not anything Twilighty lol
"Hey guys are you gonna stay out here all day?" Emmett's voice sounded loudly from behind us and we both jumped before giggling because we'd been sitting
there in silence for who knew how long and he had frightened us. "No babe we're not going to sit here all day we just wanted to give you guys some space." I
was a little confused because I still didn't know exactly what had happened before I'd gotten here but I figured that it was still too early to ask. We went back
inside but the feeling within the house was akin to that of one in mourning, the air felt too close and there was an odd quietness to the house and its occupants.
Emmett was still sad but he was doing his damnedest to try and make everyone smile; I figured that wasn't going to happen so I suggested we go into Port
Angeles and go shopping. This suggestion had the desired effect; Alice smiled and raced away to get changed dragging Jasper with her (whatever had happened
had made Carlisle and Esme lifting their ban on him being in the house alone with Alice), Emmett grumbled and Rose tried to consol him while we stood there
waiting for Alice and Jasper to return. It didn't take long before we were all piled into Alice's white ZL1 Camaro Coupe and race towards Port Angeles.
The others rambled on about what they wanted to do while we were there but I remained silent, just happy that they all seemed to be forgetting their pain, until
Emmett said to Jasper "So have you decided what kind of tat you're gonna get?" this caught not only my attention but Alice and Rosalie's as well. Jasper shot
Emmett a 'Dude what the fuck' look while Alice asked in a deadly quiet voice "Excuse me? What's this about a tattoo?" I knew she was only putting it on because
I knew she thought tattoos were in her words 'sexy as fuck'. I chuckled under my breath as Jasper cooed at Alice "Aw Ali-bear you know I've wanted one for
ages now. How about you pick it, if that'll make you happy." Alice squealed and threw her arms around Jasper's neck while kissing his face. I rolled my eyes
thinking that he was asking for trouble letting the pixie on crack pick his permanent for life tattoo but each to their own. Rose just raised an eyebrow at Emmett
and he said "I'm only gonna get it where I can cover it up for work and hide it from your dad, I know how he feels about tats." She just nodded and returned to
flicking through Emmett's phone for a song she wanted. Emmett's words made me think about how my Dad would actually think about Edward if we had've
become a couple. My Dad was old fashioned and he didn't think much about tattoos or piercings; a young cop had transferred here a year or two ago and he'd
been inked, it had taken Dad a while to warm up to him but once Dad realised that Greg wasn't a slacker and that he knew what he was doing Dad held him in
great esteem, so I guess after getting to know Edward Dad would warm up to him but that was irrelevant now.
We drove to the mall and shopped for almost two hours; Rose and Alice bonded further over their mutual love of clothing and Jasper, Emmett and I got dragged
to more shops than I thought was legal. I didn't hate shopping but I'm more the type of person that goes to the shop, gets what they need and then leaves. I
had never understood the fascination with shopping for hours on end and when they dragged us into a lingerie shop I wanted nothing more than to leave with
the boys and have something to eat but I had to help them and critique; which was fine until they ganged up on me and decided that it was Barbie Bella time
and I ended up leaving that lingerie store with things that made me blush and that would never see the light of day or night for that matter. As we left I started
objecting to buying the lingerie again "I don't need any of this. I should return it, it's not like I've got anyone to see it any way." Alice and Rose scoffed and Alice
said "Honey just because you don't have anyone to see it now doesn't mean you won't have anyone to see it ever." Rose nodded enthusiastically and said "After
your taste of sex, well foreplay, with Edward I can guarantee that you will have a boyfriend within a short period of time and that lingerie will come in handy.
Oh, speaking of handy, I need to call into Kat's Pleasure Trove and pick up some stuff." I flushed bright red again when I realised that Kat's was an adult shop
and I stuttered my way into a reason to leave but like the lingerie shop I was railroaded into staying while the other two girls pawed through catalogues of
vibrators and laughed their way through the dress ups.
"Hey sweet thing. Is there anything I can help you with today?" the question was purred into my ear by a short balding man with sweat beading his forehead.
His B.O was overwhelming and I was pretty sure he didn't work here so I just smiled and said "Uh, no, no thank you very much." And then walked away but he
followed me, I looked around trying to find Rose and Alice. They were laughing together at the back of the store so I started toward them but stinky had another
idea. He pulled me towards a tall display of edible items and started groping me. I choked on my fear but managed to scream. The large guy behind the counter
came running and pushed the balding guy off me, asking me if I needed the police called and I shook my head "No, no he didn't hurt me, really, he just scared
me." Rose and Alice came running and I huddled into the massive plains of the guys' chest and hid as he yelled at the guy to get out and never come back. My
sister and best friend couldn't apologise enough for dragging me into that shop but I shut them down and said "Don't sweat it, honestly, just get what you came
for and then can we go please." The girls piled their purchases onto the counter and the guy I'd been hiding behind smiled and said "Hi, I'm Jared" while he
scanned Rose and Alice's items. I smiled and said "Bella. Thanks for the save back there Jared." He smiled wider and totalled up Rose's items and then Alice's
"That'll be $194.80, miss." He said to Alice and I choked on my spit, what the hell had she brought that cost that much money. Jared turned to me and said "Do
you have anything Bella?" I felt my face flush and I looked down at my hands, surprised to see a bright purple vibrator clutched in one of them. I didn't even
remember picking the box up off the shelf. Rose and Alice were in near hysterics watching me struggle with what to do and I felt a flash of anger at being
the butt of their joke so I put the vibrator on the counter and said "Just this thanks Jared" not really looking in his face, I payed for the vibrator, grabbed the
bag Jared handed me and thanking him I stormed out of the shop.
I didn't stop walking until Rose and Alice called out my name and guilt made me stop walking. Rose, still trying to control her laughter, said "Bella, what the hell
was that? You wouldn't know what to do with that thing even if you could use it." I frowned and said "Why can't I use it?" Alice blinked incredulously at me and
said "Um, because you are a virgin and virgins can't go shoving vibrators into their pussies. That shit would hurt like a bitch." Of course, a virgin, they didn't
know about Edward and I couldn't tell them so I laughed and said "I was just so embarrassed to be caught clutching it that I wasn't thinking. Oh well every girl
should have a vibrator right and when I've lost my virginity it might come in handy." Both the girls laughed and we walked arm in arm into the food court and
hunted down Emmett and Jasper. They wanted to know what we'd brought but I think the girls had torture on their minds because they wouldn't tell. We had a
coffee and chatted for another half an hour before Emmett said "I wanna just go check out this tattooist I've heard about if that's okay with everyone." I wanted
out of the mall so I readily agreed to Emmett's excursion proposal. So we made our way through the crowd and walked down the street to the Embry Call's Fine
Edge Tattoos. I was surprised by the shop; I guess I was expecting a seedy dodgy looking interior but the shop was bright and well lit and it was so clean it
shone and the smell of antiseptic and disinfectant hung in the air burning my nostrils.
A young woman with crazy red hair stood smiling behind the counter; every inch of skin that was visible was covered in ink and she had more metal in her face
than I though possible but her smile was friendly and her voice was slightly curious as to why five young people who, even in my own eyes, didn't look like they
knew what a tattoo was let alone want one "Welcome to fine edge tattoos my name is Vicki, how can I help you today?" Emmett and Jasper crossed to the
counter and started talking to Vicki, Alice and Rose sat on the couch under the window and I wandered around looking at the various tattoos displayed on the
walls. I could hear the buzz of the gun from the other room and I was curious about the person getting inked and what they were getting. Emmett must have
said something to Vicki because she said "Hang on a second and I'll ask." Before walking out from behind the counter and through a doorway I hadn't noticed.
She was gone less than a minute and when she returned she was smiling and she said "Embry said it's cool and so did the customer so if you wanna come see
that's cool." Jasper and Emmett smiled and moved to stand beside Vicki, Emmett called out to Rose and Alice "Are you two coming or not?" Both Rose and Alice
grimaced in almost identical ways and shook their heads, Rose smiled tightly and said "Em you know I'm terrified of needles. If I go in there I'd pass out and
how embarrassing would that be." Alice chuckled and said "I'm cool. I like Tats but I really don't wanna see some random getting ink done." Emmett opened his
mouth but Jasper cut him off "Okay princess we won't be long, are you sure you'll be okay waiting?" Alice raised an eyebrow and said "Of course I'll be okay
honey. You need to stop worrying about me so much."
I moved across the room as if a giant magnet was pulling me. I was with Alice so far as I wasn't sure I wanted to see a strangers' body but I was so curious that
it won out. Emmett's eyebrows rose so far they almost flew off his face but he didn't actually say anything. We followed Vicki through the door and into a short
corridor with three rooms either side, we stopped at the door of the first room and she knocked softly. A deep voice called out from inside "Yep" and Vicki
opened the door gesturing for us to go in. The room was painted brick and just as clean (if not cleaner) than the waiting room. There was a man, probably
Jasper's height but with muscles like Emmett's) standing with his back to the person on the recliner chair. We couldn't see past him, all we could see were a pair
of very large feet hanging off the end of the seat. "I'm Embry Call and welcome to my tattoo studio. My client here has agreed to let you in while I complete his
latest piece of art."
He turned his back to us and Emmett walked further into the room and nodded his head in acknowledgement to a person I couldn't see because the door
blocked my view but when Jasper moved into the room I followed him and stopped dead at the sight of Jacob Black sitting in the only other seat in the room. He
smiled at me and said "Hey Honey Bee."
Oops what has Bella gotten herself into?
