Chapter 13

Tinker Bell

BPOV

"Maddy, if you don't stop doing that, our cart will be filled with chocolates in no time." I warned Maddy as she was starting to grab the chocolate within her reach.

We were grocery shopping Friday afternoon and to say that her craziness for chocolates were done and over with would be the biggest lie I would have to commit.

"But Bell, Maddy loove chocleet." She pouted and I gave in. She probably knew that was my weakness.

"Fine, but you can only have little, okay?" I have a very bad feeling that my meaning of little and her meaning of little are two different matters.

"Okay." She quickly replied. I sighed, wishing I'm wrong. Maddy and chocolates are never a good match. Just ask my carpet, my white carpet. Or better yet my walls which I just scrubbed before we went here.

Maddy was sitting contentedly on the cart holding her bar of Barbie chocolate while I continued checking my shopping list. I was about to get my favorite box of lasagna ,which was unfortunately, the last of the stock, when someone got it first.

"Oh, sorry." She said before putting the box into her own cart. The girl was tiny, her hair spiky and her smile, the brightest I've seen all day.

"It's okay." I replied. I'll just get another brand then. I thought to myself.

"Hey there, cutie pie." The girl cooed Maddy, who was now hiding in her hair.

"Oh Maddy, she said hi." I told Maddy who made no effort in moving. "I'm sorry, she's really just shy." I apologized to the girl who was still all smiles.

"Don't worry about it. Hey, um... you do cook right?" She said all of a sudden. There was now a new kind of smile playing on her pink lips.

"Yes, of course. Why?" This girl is definitely weird.

"Well, I'm making lasagna for my brother but, I kind of left the ingredients at home. And I don't know half of it. So, I was thinking that maybe you could help me a bit?" She asked uncertainly. I sighed in relief. She was smiling at me expectantly, waiting for my answer.

"Yeah, sure." I replied, smiling at her.

"Thank you so much. I don't really know what to do and I don't want to go home just to get the list and then go back here. It's just so time consuming you know? And I won't even bother ask my brother because he'll just laugh at me." I have never heard someone talk that fast. I was in awe, actually.

"Um... okay. Let's get started." Was the only response I could muster. She smiled eagerly at me and at Maddy who was now looking at her like crazy.

After a couple of minutes of this and that, the girl – who introduced herself as Alice- was done with her shopping.

"Hey, thank you so much Bella. I really appreciate it. You're so kind for helping me out." She told me after we picked some spices she could use.

"It was no biggie, and besides you're good to talk to." Not that I talked a lot. She was really talkative and I was immensely surprised that I actually liked listening to her. I only talked when she asked me a question.

"Thanks. Hey, maybe we can grab coffee sometime? You know, my treat and maybe I can help you find a job? I really don't have anything to do. And I'm really bored easily." I may have mentioned that I was new here and that I don't have a lot of friends. And little Alice here is the epitome of friendly.

"Sure, that would be cool." I replied and then we exchanged numbers.

We talked for a little bit before we separated ways. She was on the way to the check out counter where as I need to finish my grocery. She looked guilty that she got to finish first but I told her that it was fine.

After a good ten minutes, I was on my way to my car.

"Bell, I like Aweece." Maddy told me after I strapped her in her car seat. "She like Twinkle Bell." She said then grinned. Maddy adores Tinker Bell, and Alice did look like one.

"I like her too. Yes, you're right, she's like the human version of Tinker Bell." She was all smiles when I started driving home.

AN: An update, I know, shocking. Hey guys! How are you? This was really just a filler chapter and I miss Alice! I want to write her so badly and so I did! I'm sorry for not updating again for like a couple weeks? I'm not really sure. But I have a lot of reasons. (Long AN starts here *wink*) Okay. First. My birthday came up. I'm now 17! And then second, I was sick. On my birthday. And it sucked. It really did. :( I never expected to celebrate my birthday like that. But no worries, I'm all okay now. But another problem. I'm going back to school tomorrow because I just really have to. Being in college is like the worst thing, ever. And that means, less time for me to focus on this story because I have to study, like a lot. My course is such a bitch. BUT! Like I said before, I'm going to finish this one. I was already able to finish the next chapter and I'll post it next week, or maybe a couple days from now.

Anyways, guys, please review! I would really like to hear from you and your thoughts. I sometimes think that only three people reads this. Me, loving-this-twilight and Benedict-Addict Holmes . Seriously. I freaking love you guys!

So, tell me what you think. :) That's it for now, take care and I love you.

xoxo,
