DISCLAIMER: I don't own twilight just borrowing the characters.
(BELLA'S P.O.V)
"Can I kiss you?"
Fortunately, I just finished eating when I heard her asked me this or I must be choking now. It was a very unexpected response when I only asked her if she's okay. I was really worried about her when I saw how tight she's clenching her fist, she also looked tense and her eyes changing to dark gold. I never expected her to ask or rather request me to allow her to kiss me... but should I? I admit the thought of her kissing me sent tingles to my stomach. Rosalie is a gorgeous woman and I knew I am attracted to her. I like her or maybe even love her but to what extent? Now looking to those captivating golden eyes, I let myself be lost to them. Her eyes held so many emotions as she look back at me. Without realizing it I reached her hand and gave it a squeeze when I saw the uncertainty, worry and fear to them. I offered a smile as if reassuring her... of what? I am not sure. All I know is that I don't want to see those negative emotions in her eyes, it breaks my heart to see it there.
"Oh good, you're done eating. Are you two ready to go?" Alice popped up from nowhere interrupting whatever it is that's going on between Rosalie and I.
"Don't you want to take a seat and rest first? Aren't you tired from carrying all those heavy bags?" I know vampire doesn't get tired from just carrying shopping bags but they didn't know that I'm aware of it so I'm going to use it to my advantage. I can't decide yet when or how I'm going to tell them what I knew. I'm scared of what their reaction would be especially Rosalie.
"Nope, I already rested at the car. Come on! We still have more shop to go to." I groaned again when I heard this which Alice just rolled her eyes. I think she already predicted this reaction from me. I've been groaning in displeasure almost all the time today so I guess she was used to it by now.
"Let me use the powder room first then we will go." I said as I stood up from my seat. Rosalie just nodded quietly, she hadn't said anything since Alice showed up. I wonder what she's thinking or why did she asked to kiss me out of the blue. And if Alice didn't showed up, what's going to happen between us? Will I let her kiss me? I quickly shook that thought away and turned my attention to Alice who's smiling happily as always.
"I'll go with you then." Alice said as she looked to Rosalie asking if she will go with us which Rosalie respond with a shake of her head and said that she'll just wait here for us.
Alice confidently put her arm around mine as we walk to the powder room. I glanced at Rosalie one more time and I swear I saw something in her eyes but it's gone before I could identify what is it. Sighing, I turned away and head to the powder room with Alice holding my arm.
"Alice, you don't need to guard or follow me here, I'm not gonna ditch you and Rosalie. I might dislike shopping but I love spending more time with you two." 'especially Rosalie' but I don't see the need to said that out loud to her. We maybe close friends but that doesn't mean she can't react badly once she found out I have strong feelings towards her only sister.
"Silly, of course I know that. I came here with you because I want to talk to you about something else." Alice said as she began fixing her make up. I said nothing but gave her a nod to let her know I'm listening. She took an unnecessary deep breath before speaking again.
"So you know what we are." she stated. I looked at her confused not understanding what she was talking about. Seeing my confused expression, she continue "I saw it in my vision, Bella. You know what exactly we are. The Cullens/Hales."
That's when it dawn on me. She was talking about their kind. Vampires. But what she meant by 'she saw it in her vision?' Is that her gift? If she chose to talk about it here away from Rosalie's hearing range, then it meant Rosalie doesn't know it yet, right?
"Y-yes. H-how did you know?" I asked fearfully. Is she mad that I kept it secret for a week now?
"I told you, I saw it in my vision just awhile ago. I can see the future. It was my gift." she explained simply. My eyes widen at hearing this, if she can see the future then she saw the conversation about the kiss between Rosalie and I just a moment ago.
"T-then y-you saw what transpired to me and Rosalie just a moment ago?" I asked trying to fought the blush that beginning to spread all over my face.
"No. Is something happened? Oh what a dumb question. Of course there had! Rosalie was oddly quiet and tensed when I arrived!" a sigh of relief escaped to me but I'm confused, why she didn't saw it?
"You said you can see the future?"
"In a way, yes. I can only see a vision if someone makes decision. Meaning, whatever it was that happened between the two of you awhile ago, it was out of the blue. None of you made a decision that's why I didn't saw it coming." Alice explained to me.
"Okay, I think I understand it now. Let's move on to what you really want to talk about in the first place." I said changing the topic. I have no intention of telling her the whole story that transpired between Rosalie and I. Knowing Alice, she'll probably ask me the details if I don't change the topic of our conversation.
"Right, well you see... Rose and I smelt the scent of another vampire in your room this morning. I just want to be sure if you know this vampire or if it's an enemy. I can't see a vision of the unknown vampire. It's whether you haven't decided yet to tell us about him/her or you don't know this vampire stalking in your room at all." this was the first time I've seen Alice so serious. She's always bubbly and cheerful but now I can see the worry in her eyes. I felt bad for doing this to her. I know it was Jane's scent that they smelt. The truth, is that it never came to my mind to introduce Jane to them. I guess I will have to ask Jane about it. It's her decision after all if she wanted to meet the Cullens.
"I appreciate your concern for me, Ali but you have nothing to be worried about. That vampire is a friend of mine." I told her reassuringly with a smile. Alice, seeing this smiled too.
"Alright. I think we should go back to Rosalie before she came to a conclusion that we're doing something we shouldn't done here." Alice said as she wink at me making me blush slightly.
"Okay, but aren't you mad at me for keeping this a secret from you?" I asked as the two of us exited the powder room. Her only response to me is her genuine smile which is enough for me to know that she isn't mad.
We are on our way to meet up with Rosalie when Alice froze in place, her face blank and her eyes is distant. I'm about to ask her what's wrong when Alice came out of whatever she was in and began pacing back and forth nervously.
"What's going on, Alice?" I asked her in concern. Alice look hesitant to tell me but I gave her a pleading look begging her to tell me.
"I saw a vision of Rosalie fighting a red eye vampire." she said seriously with worry on her tone.
"Then what the hell are we still doing here? We have to hurry, help her!" I told her as I ran hurriedly though I have no idea where am I going. The only thought that running through my head is that Rosalie is in danger.
"Wait Bella! We can't, it's too dangerous for you. Rosalie is going to kill me if you get hurt!"
"No Alice, we have to help her. Will you forgive yourself if something bad happened to your sister when there's something you can do to prevent it from happening?" I think it works because the next thing I knew I found myself in Alice back carrying me.
"Hold on tight!" she exclaimed as we took off, ignoring the stare from the people we came across the mall.
(ROSALIE'S P.O.V)
It was right after Bella and Alice was out of my sight that I hurriedly ran with a human speed out of the shopping mall. I need to hunt real quick, to calm my nerves and to try hard not to think kissing Bella. It wasn't easy though. The image of her enticing lips keeps playing in my head. 'Ugh! Stop thinking about it!' I mentally scolded myself. It wouldn't be good to lost control in front of Bella. I really need to hunt. Noticing that nobody can see me, I began to pick up my pace in my vampire speed. Once I'm in the forest, I let my instinct took over me. My senses heightened immensely and in a blink of an eye, the unfortunate group of wild animals dropped dead in the ground.
"Well hello there~" a too beautiful seductive voice behind me greeted. Judging from her scent I knew she's a vampire like me. I smelt her a few moments ago but I paid no mind knowing there's a lot of nomads are passing by in this area. I have no time for a chit-chat so I ignore her. I need to go back at the mall, to Bella but before I could go past at her, I felt the redhead vampire grabbed my hand.
"Let go of my hand!" I snapped coldly at her. I have no time for this. Bella and Alice will be out of the powder room any minute now. Alice didn't know I was out here. Or maybe she'll see it in her vision? I hope so. I still don't know how her gift works so I can't be sure.
"Not unless you tell me where did you saw the human who has a great smell. I know you've been with her. I can smell her scent all over you." the redhead vampire said menacingly ignoring my cold tone. I narrowed my eyes while my body tensed up. 'She can't be possibly talking about Bella, can she?' I felt her grip on my wrist tightened when I didn't respond to her immediately which cause me to snap out of my thoughts.
"Why should I tell you?" I asked in my coldest tone I could muster, sending her a deathly glare at the same time. 'Bella is mine. I won't let anyone harm my mate!'
"So I could kill her like what she did to my James! Now tell me where she is or I'm going to kill you first!" the redhead exclaimed threateningly.
'Her James? Who the heck is James?!' The redhead snarl dangerously because I once again did not answer her. Honestly. I thought I'm the most impatient vampire but I proven it wrong. This redhead is a lot more impatient than myself. And who does she think she is, threatening a Rosalie Hale?! Nobody mess with me! I am Rosalie freaking Hale! No one gets away from threatening a Hale and most importantly my mate. She threatened to kill Bella, my mate! I felt my anger rose to extreme as my natural gold colored eyes turned black. Just as I about to attack her, a very familiar scent I love so much filled the air 'Shit, They can't be here!' Looking at the redhead, I knew she smelt Bella's scent too. A sinister smile plastered on her face as she waited for my human mate to show herself which only took a second. The redhead let go of my hand and in a quick motion, she lunged towards Alice who's carrying Bella at her back. Alice, already saw it in her vision, easily avoided the redhead. Alice can't attack though. Bella is still in her back that made it difficult for her to make any move other than avoiding the redhead. I also joined the fight but the redhead keep dodging me and only attacking Alice and Bella which really frustrate me to no end.
"Al, too... f-fast... I f-felt s-sick." I heard Bella said to Alice causing her to stopped abruptly. The redhead seeing this, did not waste time. She speedily lunged herself again to Alice but this time, I felt my body moved faster than I can remember. The thought of my mate getting hurt awoken the beast in me. I dashed forward to the redhead and when she's only about an inch apart to Alice and Bella, I appeared from nowhere as my fist connected to the redhead's stony face sending her flying to the opposite direction. Before her body landed to the ground, I again appeared in front of her kicking her stomach so hard that her body almost split in half. I am not sure where this strength coming from but it doesn't matter right now. What matter most is to keep my mate and my sister safe.
"Bella, we need to bring you to the hospital. You're not okay." I heard Alice said worriedly to my human mate. I am torn between going to my mate or finishing the redhead. My beast wanted to kill the redhead but the human part of me wanted to go check on my mate.
"We can't leave Rosalie here alone, Alice. I ca-" whatever it is Bella's going to say next was interrupted by her throwing up.
"Bella!" I called to her in concern as I ran towards her ignoring the protest of the beast inside of me. In less than a minute, I was in Bella's side. Bella looks a lot paler than she already was and it only worsen the worry I was feeling for my mate.
"Hey, stop worrying. I'll be okay. I am just a little dizzy." she said giving me a smile as she reached my cold cheek. "What happened to Victoria?"
I looked at where I left the redhead vampire who's I'm assuming her name is Victoria and to my surprise she isn't there anymore. 'How could she vanished so fast?' Sniffing the air, I smelt a scent of another vampire. 'That explain it. She must be rescued by this new vampire.'
"I kicked her ass of course!" I boasted to Bella confidently with a smug smile in my face. Alice rolled her eyes but I don't care. Bella's huge smile directed at me is all I care.
"Thank you, Rosalie, Alice." she said sincerely at us while I lift her and carry her bridal style. Alice and I just gave her smile before we took off. Once we're out of the forest, Bella insisted me to put her down, that she can walk from here but I didn't let her. My protectiveness over her is still kicking in. Alice and I heads to the parking lot of the mall where our car was parked. We are aware of the humans looking at us or rather gawking at us but I paid no mind to them. I have my mate in my arms and that is all that matter to me. I think Bella isn't comfortable from the stare we are receiving because I felt her arms tightened her hold to my neck while hiding her face to it then heaved a sigh. When her lips touched my skin and curled to a smile, I can't help but bit my lip so hard to suppress my moan. Her lips felt so warm and soft against my skin. 'I wonder if it feels good as this if those lips attached to my lips instead.' A warm hand cupping my cheek brought me out of my thoughts. Looking down to my human mate, I saw her staring at me with a concern look.
"Are you okay? I've been calling your name for a whole minute now and you were not responding. Is something wrong?" I mentally smacked myself for spacing out. Bella was seriously worried of me, I can hear it in her voice. Even the look Alice is giving me is telling me that she's worried too. An unnecessary sigh escaped my mouth before flashing them a reassuring smile.
"No, nothing's wrong. I'm totally fine so stop frowning you two." I told them. I didn't noticed that we already reached the parking lot and we are now standing beside our car. Alice open the door for us and I gently put my Bella down. I sent a grateful smile to Alice before I too slid into the car.
Alice intentionally drove slower than we used to fearing that Bella would throw up again. The drive was silent but comfortable nonetheless. It didn't take long for Bella to fall asleep in my lap. I guess all that happened today took a lot from her. It was all confusing. I have so many questions to Bella but I knew now isn't the time for it. I have to make sure that she's okay first. She refused to go to the nearest hospital insisting that she's just dizzy and it will soon go away once she got a good rest. Bella was so stubborn that even Alice and I gave in to what she wants but not before making her promise to let Carlisle, our adopted father to check on her. Now that Bella knew we're not human, it's necessary for us to talk to her. Though I'm not sure how much Bella knew about us, or what exactly Alice had told her.
"Alice" I called to her quietly, careful not to wake my human mate.
"I told her nothing, Rose." she said answering my unvoiced question. It creeps me out sometimes when she's doing this. If I didn't knew her gift I would mistakenly her as a mind reader too like Edward.
"Does it mean she knew nothing yet about us?" and to my confusion, I heard Alice laugh. I glared at her when I felt Bella stirred a little in my lap.
"Sorry" she said once we're sure that Bella won't waking up "Bella knew more than you imagined, Rose. You'll be surprise of how much knowledge she had about our existence."
"How? And why you didn't told us about this? That you knew Bella was aware of our secret?"
"I only saw the vision in the middle of our shopping this morning. Apparently, she just had decided to tell us what she knew maybe yesterday or today that's why I only saw it this morning." Alice explained to me though she did not answered how did Bella knew about us.
"How did she knew what we are?" I asked out loud but Alice shook her head refusing to tell me what she saw in her vision.
"Sorry, Rose. It isn't my place to tell you. Only Bella can answer all your questions." I nodded at her in understanding giving her a small smile.
"Thank you, Alice."
