Your dreams were, hmmm let's just say I'm kind of sorry I asked.
I dream of being Sherlock Holmes.
A/N: Short Chapter ahead, sorry if mistakes!

5th period Art was Bella's favorite class, not just because she shared it with Rosalie but because it was the most relaxing one. Today they were starting a new project to be turned in after the break and she has to admit that it is a creative one. Each student is to draw the perfect tattoo of something that would mean something to them, write where they would put it and why.
"You can work on the assignment for the remainder of class; you may speak with each other and listen to music but only if you keep the noise level down." With that Ms. Point sat down at her desk beginning a new drawing of her own.
Angela and Bella moved their chairs to the table that Alice, Jasper and Rosalie occupied, already discussing their designs.
"Do any of you have an idea to what you're going to do?" the pixie asks, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Nope" Bella shrugs.
"Not a clue" Angela agrees placing her sketchbook down. "I think I'll just make small sketches until I find one I like, we have a full week"
"Mine is finished" the girls all turn to stare at Jasper in bewilderment.
"You're done" Bella says disbelievingly.
"Yes ma'am" he drawls out, pushing his book to the middle of the table. "See" he smirks, Bella blinks, Rosalie shakes her head, Angela whispers a 'wow' and Alice giggles.
"Naturally" Bella deadpans staring at the page. The word Alice in big letters sat in the center of the page with a heart on each end of the word. "How creative"
"I could always draw my best interpretation of Alice's pu-"
"Jasper!" Alice intervenes. "How about you go see what Ms. Point thinks of your idea?" Shrugging his shoulders the blonde male does as his girlfriend suggest, grabbing his notebook walking to the front of the room.
"I love that man" Alice breathes out, turning her attention back to the girls. "What?" she speaks defensively taking notice of the odd looks she is receiving.
"Nothing" they reply, focusing on their own work.

"You got everything you need?" Charlie mutters out glancing at the slender suitcase that Bella is dragging behind her.
"Yup, a weeks' worth of clothes, my homework, and all the essentials." She smiles at her father's awkward concern; outside a car horn beeps and Bella turns her attention to the door. "That would be my ride, I have to go." Supplying Charlie with a quick hug and kiss on the cheek, Bella swiftly exits the house to Rosalie's BMW.
"Hi Bella!" Alice shouts upon seeing her. The short girl jumps out of the driver's seat of the car to give the brunette a hug; Bella chuckles dropping her suitcase.
"You know you saw me yesterday right?"
"Yeah but you're going to be gone for five whole days!" Alice whines moving closer to Bella's ear. "She's been upset all morning" the pixie whispers before stepping back completely.
Once Alice drops her arms she immediately grabs Bella's bag and takes it to the trunk of the car, allowing the couple to greet each other. Bella absorbs the sight of her mute girlfriend, wearing the green sweatshirt, sitting in the passenger seat of the car facing the window. Releasing a deep breath she advances forward to the right side of the car blocking the blonde's view.
"Sit with me?" she requests gesturing to the back seat of the car and Rosalie nods changing seats.
Settling herself beside her girlfriend Bella intertwines their fingers together giving Rosalie's hand a reassuring squeeze, just as Alice re-enters the car to begin their drive to the airport.
It's okay.
She conveys using their first officially form of communication. Rosalie doesn't respond instead she places her unoccupied hand in the pocket of the hoodie looking to the floor. Releasing the blondes' hand Bella leans over to the front seat; reaching inside the dashboard to grab the unused notepad she placed there when Rosalie began to write.
It's only for a few days
Again Rosalie made no indication that the words affected her, the blonde seemed distance and Bella silently hoped that she wouldn't regress into her old habits. When Rosalie showed no effort to respond, Bella, with a painful sigh, took the paper and placed it in Rosalie's lap, as well as the pen, then with an air of determination she turned her body to the window, no longer acknowledging her girlfriend. In the front seat Alice smiled as she weaved through the cars; Rosalie needs this.
"Don't forget to call me either! And take a picture of the Sun; I forgot what it looks like." Alice grins before giving Bella one final hug inside of the airport. "Oh your flight is about to board see you later, I'm going to go the bathroom really quick" with that the pixie skips away, her blue dress flowing behind her as she leaves the two girls alone.
Bella rotates to face Rosalie giving the blonde a passionate stare she steps forward and envelopes her in a promising hug. The taller girl lays her head on Bella's shoulder giving Bella's waist a desperate squeeze.
"Friday" Bella whispers and Rosalie nods showing her understanding. "You'll be okay"

Renée was still the same energetic woman, and it seemed to Bella that the woman never got tired. She had only been in town for six hours but Bella was exhausted from the journeys of today's work. Her mom had so much to talk about and do that Bella had to remind her that she would be there for the whole week so there was no need to rush anything. Phil was away this week, to some conference, though Bella couldn't be sure and this left her alone with her scattered brained mother.
Don't forget to call her tonight - Alice
Bella glanced briefly at the words on her phone before turning her attention back to the 20 question game her mom was playing.
"What about Charlie, has he been feeding you right?" Bella laughs internally at the question; it's the same as living with you.
"Yes, Mom everything has gone good."
"Well that's good. I'm glad that you like it there Bella." Renée beams at her. "How about that girlfriend of yours, Rosalie right, how is she doing?" Instantly a bright smile appears on the brunette's face and she blushes at the knowing look her mother gives her.
"Oh she um- she's good, great she's doing great."

Later that night when Renée finally allowed Bella to retire to her room; Bella sat in her bed staring at the time on her phone wondering if it was too late to call her girlfriend. When the digital numbers on the phone hit 11:00 p.m., she decided that if she were to wait any longer the blonde would most definitely be asleep.
"Hello?" she breathed out quietly when the ringing ceased. "Rose? Uh can you press a button if you are there?" As soon as the words left her mouth Bella momentarily paused; does that even work for cell phones? She pondered. Apparently it did because five seconds later she heard a distinct beeping sound in her ear. Not being able to see Rosalie proved to be a somewhat difficult challenge as she fought to think of what to talk about. "My Mom was overly excited to see me" she chuckles. "I had to remind her I would be here for a few days."
Bella talked for close to an hour about everything she could; Rosalie never made another indication that she was listening but Bella could sense that she was still there. Eventually she ran out of topics and began to get sleepy, so she ended the conversation promising to speak with the blonde tomorrow. Bella waited a few seconds after she hung up the phone for the text message that she knew she would receive.
Goodnight, thank you - Rose
The girls continued their hour-long phone conversations every night, yet Bella did all the talking, and by the 4th night Bella couldn't help but to crave to see the blonde and to be able to enjoy the innocent touches they shared.
"I miss you Rose. I mean I know I said it was only going to be for a few days and that everything would be okay but I just, really really miss you" she waits in silence after her confession, wishing that the blonde would respond. Instead of the beautiful voice she hoped for, Bella heard the sound of clicking inside of her ear. "Rosalie?" A moment later her own phone vibrated.
I miss you too - Rose
A tiny smile graced her features as she read the words; a woman of very little words she mused.
"I know Esmé thinks it's better that we only talk once a day and I understand why but this is harder than I thought"
Alice and Emmett try to distract me – Rose
"Yeah my Mom is pretty good at keeping me busy too." She smiles.
"I still get tingles when we touch" the brunette whispers out following a moment of silence. "I'm not sure if that's the correct word or whatever but it's like a numbing sensation that shoots through my body except in a good way you know?" blushing at her own words, Bella internally scolds herself at how the words came out. "I um-" the sound of the clicking brings her to pause waiting for Rosalie to text.
Friday – Rose
And Bella smiles because the tables have turned and Rosalie is reassuring her.
"Friday" she breathes out.
