"Bella. Could I talk to you alone for a minute?" Alice asked. Bella nodded and followed her to a room that must be hers. "Well, you found out we are vampires but that's not all..." Bella didn't know if she could take any more in just a few days. How much more was there? "I can read minds Bella... and this whole time, I've read everything you have thought." Bella about fell off the bed that she was sitting on.
"You what? No! You don't know what I thought... Do you?" Bella felt her cheeks burn. She couldn't believe this... No way Alice knows she likes Carlisle.
"Don't worry hun. It's safe with Jasper and I. Although, Carlisle seems to act a bit different around you than anybody else. I wonder why..." Alice thought for a minute.
Bella started to relax. If she could believe Alice, then she wouldn't have to worry about Carlisle finding out. "Hey, can't you read his mind? You know... to see what he is thinking?"
"No... it doesn't work that way with other vampires. I can only do that with humans. Though at times I do wish I knew what Jasper was thinking." Alice sighed. "So you like Carlisle? Hm... Never thought a girl like you would fall for him and not Edward."
"Oh, well I probably would of if I never knew Carlisle." Bella laughed. Alice joined in too but stopped a second later.
"They are coming. Edward and Carlisle." Alice saw the look on Bella's face. "They didn't hear us. They just want to see why I wanted to talk to you alone." And of course that's what they did.
Edward walked in first. "What is it that you can't talk about near us?" He didn't look too happy. Carlisle was right behind him. "Tell us now. You can't keep secrets from Carlisle. You know that."
"It's none of your business. Bella and I are best friends. We are allowed to share secrets between us only. Now if you please, step out of my room?" Alice asked. So this was her bad side?
"Alice sweety, please tell me what's going on?" Carlisle stepped into the conversation. "Edward, leave please. As far as I'm concerned, you don't have to know what's going on between them." That was Carlisle, taking control of the situation.
"You have to be kidding me..." Edward said under his breath, backing away. "This is not fair at all Carlisle!" He growled and stomped out of the room. It was just a little secret, well maybe not little, but Edward didn't have to know. Did he really love Bella that much?
Carlisle got over what Edward said in less than a few seconds. "Okay. Now Alice, you can tell me. I know it has something to do with me... Jasper told me. Now what is it?" Bella's eyes grew wide. Alice glanced over at her.
"What are you talking about? Jasper told you what?" Alice asked. She looked furious. Oh boy, Jasper might be getting it later.
Carlisle put his hands up. "All he said was that it was about me. That's all. No need to get mad Alice. He didn't know it was that important. If it is, I should back out too and just forget about it?" After he said that, he turned to Bella and winked at her.
"Jasper told you more than that didn't he?" Alice stood up.
"No no. I just assumed that..." Carlisle turned on his heal and walked out. Bella couldn't say a word. Her and Alice exchanged glances and thought one thing... Jasper really was going to get it.
