Chapter 13: Firsts

It had been two days since Alice, Jasper, and Leah's heart to heart. Leah was playing video games with Emmett the next day after her little chat with Alice and Jasper. Something in her had lightened, and she could breath easier. Now that she knew her feelings weren't completely unrequited the world felt brighter. Her brother was coming over later to hangout, and she was thankfully off today, retail was killing her. Alice walked in, and gracefully sat next to Leah, "So Emmett wins, can you entertain me."

Leah snorts and continues to play, studiously ignoring Alice's pout, "I thought you couldn't see my future. Where's Jasper?" she was trying to pretend she was not completely whipped.

"Leah," Alice said with a whine and a gentle tug on the arm.

"C'mon Alice, this is my bro time," Emmett said, while not looking away from the screen.

"I want to have a date with Leah, Jasper is busy," then she decided to fight dirty, by leaning directly into her ear and whispering, "If you come with me I'll make it one hundred percent worth your while."

Leah held back a groan as a shiver swept down her spine, she turned to look at Alice, her amber eyes meeting hers. Alice was biting her lip, and looking at Leah with an intense hunger. Then they heard a whoop. Emmet had indeed won, "See I told ya."

"You're incorrigible."

"Gotta keep your wits about you around this one tiny gray."

Alice licked her lips, "Yeah I don't care, let me buy you coffee, please."

"Sure Alice, that sounds nice."

"Excellent," then she grabbed her hand, interlacing their fingers. Leah felt tingles run up her arm. Alice dragged Leah out to the garage, where she released Leah's hand for a moment to grab a helmet off the wall, and toss it to Leah. then sauntered over to one of the three motorcycles in the garage, and straddled it. The movement made Leah weak in the knees.

"Get on," Alice said. She had to admit now that she didn't have to fight her feelings. She felt them run through her freely like a waterfall, it was powerful. Leah's heart raced as she pressed her front against Alice's back. She tentatively placed her hands around Alice's middle.

The bike roared to life, and lurched forward. Alice drove fast. It wasn't a surprise really, and it was thrilling. Then Leah realized Alice was leaving forks, and she wondered where they were going. A part of her just wanted her to keep going. Then after what seemed like years where it was just Alice and Leah she pulled into a diner about twenty miles outside of forks, "Didn't want to be seen with me," Leah joked, and Alice turned to her.

"That's not it, Charlie said this had some of the best coffee on the planet, and I trust his opinion on coffee, at least."

"Ah I've never heard of this place."

"Me either, let's hope Charlie was right. I wanted to take you to Paris, but Jasper said that might have been a little bit of overkill."

"He was right, Paris would have made me uncomfortable."

"Why though, money to us is different because we are going to be alive forever, and money is not a problem."

"I've never had it, and the concept of having a lot is baffling. I mean my parents did alright we weren't destitute or anything, but no one on the reservation is exactly flushed with money."

"I see well I hope you like diesel fuel, I can practically smell the caffeine in the pot."

"Swell, I could use a jolt." She said, throwing a grin over her shoulder at Alice as she sat down. Alice liked that grin on her face; it made her eyes shine, and her dimples poke out. Alice wanted to kiss them. Then the waitress got their orders. They both only got coffee.

"Pretense is everything my lovely," Alice said at Leah's arched eyebrow when the coffee was placed in front of them. Then she raised it to her lips without taking a sip.

"So, we were thinking of Greenland, when Bella and Edward get back. There's a place that is dark most of the day."

"Greenland sounds nice. Sam is going to be pissed. That pleases me to be honest."

"Why?"

"I've always enjoyed ruffling his feathers, even when we were together pissing him off was a great pastime of mine."

"Yes, but why?"

"Maybe deep down I knew that he wasn't the one for me, Plus the make up sex was better than the regular sex, so that probably had something to do with it."

Alice felt a wave of jealousy at the mention of her sexual past with Sam. Alice wanted to find him and punch his teeth out, "What do you like to do for fun?" Alice asked, wanting to know her, and talk about something else. From that question the conversation flowed naturally. They talked about anything that came to their minds. Leah made Alice laugh, and Leah loved the sound and wanted to hear it more. Alice found Leah's wicked sense of humor amazing. Then the waitress of the diner announced that they needed to close to get ready for the dinner rush. They had been there three hours. They walked back to the motorcycle. Leah felt jittery because of the coffee and the idea of being so close to Alice again. She would need to run later to burn the caffeine out of her system. She once again pressed her front to Alice's back, and suppressed the urge to purr at the small wave of happiness that zipped through her because she was so close to her imprint. Alice kicked off the bike and zoomed out of the parking lot.

They arrived home too soon for Leah's liking. She got off the bike on shaky legs from the rumble of the engine and the coffee. Then Alice walked completely into Leah's space, "May I walk you to your door, Miss Clearwater."

"I'd be honored Miss Cullen, but can you walk me to the tree line, I gotta run off the caffeine."

"Of course, maybe we could run together."

Leah smiled at her happily, "That sounds like the perfect ending to our first date."

They'd reached the trees behind the house, and Alice let go of her hand, "Excellent, now how about you go behind that rock, and do your thing. I'll wait for you."

"Thanks I don't think I want you to see me naked on the first date."

That thought of it, her long legs and dark skin, made Alice's thoughts sputter to a stop, and she had to bite back a groan. She doesn't deny herself very often, this might be more difficult than she thought. Then Leah came out from behind the rock, and Alice wanted to run her fingers through the soft fur. She shook the impulse away, and walked up to her, "Let's run shall we."

Leah made a noise in agreement, and took off running at top speed. She barely heard Alice behind her, she even ran daintily.

They'd been running for about a half hour. When Leah came to a stop. She needed to breathe a moment. Alice stopped beside her, and sat down leaning against a tree. She then said, "If you don't drool you can sit next to me."

Leah let out a small indignant bark, and settled next to the vampire. After a few moments of hesitation, Alice let her hand drift to the soft fur at the top of Leah's head. They sat there for one serene moment. Then Alice took her backpack purse off her shoulders, "I brought your clothing if you want to shift back," then she gently rubbed the top of her head. Leah lowered her head to Alice's lap for a moment, and just let Alice pet her head. Then the pack's thoughts started to invade her own. She shook her head trying to push down her happy. This is private and she didn't want to share it. Share Alice with anyone except Jasper. She reached over, and gently grabbed the backpack, "Careful it's coach." Leah glared at her and went behind the tree. Then quickly shifted back and dressed. She went back over to Alice, and sat next to her, but she kept a bit of space between them. Alice leaned over, and closed the gap. She leaned her head against Leah's shoulder, and intertwined their fingers. "I enjoyed today," Alice said softly.

"Me too a lot," then she turned and looked at Alice, who was looking back at her. Alice leans up barely an inch to give Leah a chance to back out if she needed. She needn't have bothered. Leah leaned down to meet her. The angle was awkward, but Leah honestly did not give one single damn. Alice's lips were on hers, and moving gently against hers. Leah gasped at the tingles and goosebumps that erupted all over her skin. Alice took that moment to deepen the kiss. Leah's tongue met Alice's and let her thoughts blissfully float away. Alice reached over and pulled her closer; as Leah reached over and gripped Alice's hip. Much too soon Leah needed to breathe. She pulled away reluctantly. Alice let her breathe a moment taking in her blissed out face.

"You're gorgeous."

"Thanks, you too," Leah replied panting. Alice nuzzled into Leah's neck, and inhaled deeply. Suppressing the urge to bite the wolf she got up, "C'mon let's go home."

Home, Alice was home. Leah wouldn't have it any other way.

They make their way back into the house, and there in the middle of the living room was Seth making out with Emmett, with Rosalie giving Emmett a rather impressive hickey.
