The Date

Chapter 20

Bella POV:

I sighed as Jane dragged me in for a makeover.

"What, Jane?"

"Come on, Bella! Cheer up!" she squealed.

"I can't," I frowned at her.

"Your birthday is just two days away! And who knows… Maybe someone will…" She coughed, making my eyes narrow into suspicion.

"Someone will WHAT?" I asked.

"He haven't?" she asked.

"What?" I asked, confused now.

"Nothing," she mumbled and then she switched from her thoughtful mood to a cheery one before beginning my torture.

I sighed as I finally resign- no one can defy Jane Volturi, apparently.

Third Person POV:

Alec was standing at the garden, his hands clenching into tight fists and growled.

"What? Getting into protective mood?" Will asked, raising an eyebrow cockily.

"What do you want?" he growled. "Why are you doing this?"

"Because falling in love with her completely isn't my plan. Because she's just too stunning for her own good. JUST BECAUSE!" Will yelled, his eyes lighting up into flames as a circle of fire surrounded him.

"You… fell in love with her?" Alec whispered, in a stunned voice.

"I already answered your question," he said in a calm and controlled voice before the fire around him ceased and he walked away.

Alec stared at Will's disappearing figure and looked down at the ground with a sad expression.

"I do wonder, Bella…" he whispered to himself. "Would you choose me over him?"

Bella POV:

I smiled again after Jane's torture and leaped out from her grasp. Jane just rolled her eyes and we heard Felix's booming laugh.

"My girlfriend really knows how to do a make-over!" he whistled. Jane smacked him on the head and he pouted.

"I got a boo-boo now, Janie," his bottom lip quivered and I rolled my eyes and pushed myself out of their way as I went to find Alec.

I heard Jane giggling at the speed I was escaping and her bedroom door clicked shut as I dash out of the castle as fast as I could to the garden Alec brought me to earlier.

To say I was surprised was an understatement, I was shocked to see Alec standing near a tree with a thoughtful expression.

"Alec?" I called. His head snapped up immediately at my voice and I smiled at him.

He smiled back and he ran towards me before I could step forward and embraced me tightly. I sighed dreamily as I clung onto him, trying to be closer to him as my nose drank in his scent. It's so addicting! I smiled and I heard him chuckle.

"What?" I asked, peering up to him while my arms are still around him.

"You've been smiling to yourself quite a few times today," he replied, still chuckling.

"Yeah, and I noticed you have a split personality disorder," I snorted playfully and pushed him away.

"I do have two personalities, Bella," he said. "One is for everyone to see and one… Only for you," he whispered as he kissed my forehead sweetly.

"Oh, and you're especially stunning today,"

"Alec…" I whispered, touched. He smiled as he pressed his lips against mine as he showed his love for me in a gentle, yet passionate kiss.

"I love you," he whispered again as he pressed his forehead against mine.

"I know, Alec." I smiled.

"I love you too,"

"Thank you, Bella… For being with me, for accepting me for who I am, and for loving me," he said as he brushed his lips lightly across mine.

"I should thank you," I said.

"Why are you saying that? I mean, you sound so different today, dod something happen?" I asked, concerned.

"Nothing, really. Can you go out on a date with me today?" he asked softly, his now golden eyes probing into.

"Sure, I would love to!" I squealed as I leaped onto him and pecked his lips lightly before skipping away to find Jane and Chelsea for help.

I didn't know if he had said that, but it seemed strange as I made out his mumbles when I left.

I wonder how long you will…

Does he not love me anymore? Or did I do something? I questioned myself. I shook my head at the possibilities as I found Jane and Chelsea. I'm sure he won't, he had said he love me. I'm sure I heard him wrongly.

"Jane! Chelsea! I need your help!" I shrieked excitedly as I bounced towards them.

"Wow! Bella! You look really high! Did you take drugs just now?" Felix asked innocently.

"Nopes!" I replied, popping the 'p'.

"Boys…" Jane narrowed her eyes at Demetri and Felix who pouted and left, each pecking their mates on the lips before winking and left.

"They look like twins," I murmured.
"Many say that," Chelsea muttered, rolling her eyes.

"Anyways, back to topic. What were you talk-" Jane got cut off by me.

"Me!" I squealed. Then I dropped my voice into a whisper, "I have a date tonight. With Alec!"

Jane and Chelsea giggled at my excitement.

"No need to get so worked up, Bella. He's just a guy," Jane smirked.

"I know!" I exclaimed as I tried to calm myself down. "He's such a perfect guy,"

Jane pretended to gag as Chelsea giggled as she pulled me out of my dreamy state and onto the dressing table.

"Close your eyes, Bella. And let us do the work," Jane's confident voice told me as she pulled a big bag out. She opened it and I saw hundreds of make-up placed neatly in every colour sequence.

"Wow," I mumbled, fascinated by her large collection.

"Yeah, I know, Bella," Chelsea said sarcastically.

"I was shocked like you last time, she's crazy," And Jane let out a playful growl.

I giggled as I let myself relax and sink into slumber.

"Bella!" someone whispered in a spooky voice. I screamed in shock and jumped up as I woke from my peaceful sleep.

I frowned at Jane and Chelsea laughing uncontrollably on the floor at my reaction.

"..Funny." I growled. Both of them stifled in their laughter and tried acting professional as Jane straightened her shirt and Chelsea coughed as she sat up.

"We would like to announce that Bella Swan's makeover is complete!" Jane announced in a grave voice.

And she burst into laughter with Chelsea who couldn't hold it in anymore. I rolled my eyes and turned to face the mirror and gasped in delight.

"Wow, just…" I whispered, as I stared at my lengthened eyelashes and the lavender eyeshadow with faint blush applied over my cheeks. My lips were in a shiny light pink colour.

Jane and Chelsea finally stopped laughing and came over to me.

"Thanks so much!" I exclaimed as I hugged both of them tightly.

"We're friends, Bella. Besties!" both of them replied and hugged me back before Chelsea handed me a dress that looked silky as the sleeves were fluttery with a V-shaped at the neck which was not too low. I loved the design.

I smiled gratefully at Chelsea who smiled back and Jane handed me a strappy, slingback strap high heels.

"High heels?" I groaned.

Jane rolled her eyes.

"Fine, flats it will be then," she muttered as she rummaged into her bag again. How many bags does she have?

She handed me a white ballerina flat and I smiled at her which she returned.

She and Chelsea then left for me to change.

"Good luck on your date!" Chelsea cheered as she slipped out.

I giggled and thanked her as Jane frowned.

"I want all details, is that clear?"

"Yes, Ma'am!" I did a salute and she giggled as she left, closing the door behind her.

I slipped onto the dress and wore my flats before grabbing my small bag and opened the door, to knock against Will.

"Ouch!" I groaned as I rubbed my forehead.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked. I saw hurt flash over his features and it was gone. I must be imagining it.

"Coming to see a girl who is going to her date in a few minutes I guess," he shrugged, acting nonchalant.

"Uh-huh, would you please excuse me," I mumbled as I pushed past him and ran down to greet Alec with open arms and he wrapped his arm around my waist before leading me to a lake. It was shimmering with its water so clear and I saw the moon shining brightly over it.

"This is it?" I asked, awed.

"You don't like it? I mean, if you don't then-" he started to say but I shook my head.

"This is so perfect, Alec Volturi. You really know me," I smiled at him as I breathed in the fresh air and he tugged me lightly before leading to a table sat. I saw the food on it with the red wine and my mouth watered a little.

"Thanks so much, Alec," I was touched by his effort.

"It's nothing," he seemed embarrassed as he pulled out my chair.

I sat down and began to eat my food without caring how I looked. Alec chuckled after I finally finished it.

"Did you have lunch today?" he asked. I giggled and shook my head.

"No! I missed it," he frowned and his face turned into one of concern.

"You shouldn't miss your lunch, it isn't healthy,"

I nodded as he pulled me out of my seat and we lied down on the grass while staring up in the night sky.

"It's beautiful, Alec," I whispered.

"They're, but you are much more compared to them," he smirked.

I rolled my eyes and he chuckled before leaning in to kiss me. Our breaths turned labored and he pulled away before pulled out a velvety box.

"Bella, I-"

"Bella!" Will called as he came rushing towards them. Alec growled in frustration as he slipped the box back into his pocket and glared at Will, hoping he will catch fire.

"What, Will?" I snapped at him. I was going to wait for what Alec is going to say when he disturb me. AGAIN. Damn him!

"Nothing… Just that Aro wanted to speak to you," he mumbled in a meek voice. I was shocked to say the least.

"Umm… Do I have to go now?" I asked, glancing at Alec who looked upset and angry.

"Yeah, they say is something pretty urgent,"

"Fine!" I threw my arms up in surrender as I pecked Alec on the lips before whispering,

"Sorry,"

He shook his head and pecked my lips before gesturing me to go with Will. I couldn't get his wounded expression out of my head. He looked so sad.

Without warning, I tripped over the air and fell into his arms. I blushed as I tried to pull away from him but he kept me in his arms as he leaned closer to me.

"Will, get off me," I demanded, trying to push him away and he moved away as he kept quiet, bringing me to the Three Kings who looked amused at my expression.

"Sorry to disrupt your date, Bella, we just wanted to inform you that the date of your change will be held forward a few weeks," he said.

"That's all?" I seethed in anger.

"Yeah, I did tell Will to get you later after you date but it seems that he brought you here, earlier. Again. I will talk to him later on," Marcus told me, seeming amused by my reaction.

Third Person POV:

The Three Kings watched as Bella stalked out of the room and at the top of her voice she hollered.

"WILL VOLTURI! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!"

They chuckled as they sat back to relax.

"I'm worried about Alec and Bella's relationship," Aro said.

"Same here," Marcus admitted.

"I don't know, maybe?" Caius muttered.

"Will and Bella's relationship is just too… complicated to say the least. And Alec seems to be in conflict now," Marcus frowned.

Bella POV:

I gave Will Volturi a hell of a scolding and stomped back to my room before collapsing on my bed.

"Bella?" Alec appeared at my window.

I turned and looked at him before raising an eyebrow and nodded my head for him to come in.

"We need to talk,"
