Twilight through Alice's Eyes Chapter 8
A/N: Hey. Thanks for reading. I don't have a plan for what to do for this chapter so I'm just going to do whatever comes to mind. It may be a little odd but then again that's what my friends find me. Here's chapter 8.
Disclaimer: I don't own twilight.
Chapter 8
APOV
The next day was so much fun; A shopping trip to Seattle with my favorite brother, Edward. We hit all of the clothing stores and probably several other stores. Edward seemed miserable but then again he made me miserable for a few days so I didn't really care.
We walked around to all of the different stores in the mall and I picked out clothing while Edward carried all of my bags. Jasper said that he didn't feel left out when I told him it would just be me and Edward. Secretly, I think that Jasper was relieved, that way he didn't have to carry all of the bags.
The one store we went into was a store with all dresses. I picked out several that I liked and took them to the dressing room with me. We actually had to get one of the store employees to help Edward carry all of the dresses. Her name was Julie and she seemed very nice; I think she could tell I was torturing Edward and she was enjoying watching him be tortured.
The first dress I tried on was a dark purple colored dress with spaghetti straps and was embedded with all sorts of jewels and was cut off at the bottom at an angle. "Edward, what do you think of this dress?" I asked him knowing full well that he would tell me it looked fine just so that we would go into another store.
"It looks fine, Alice." Edward wasn't even paying attention. I decided to ask Julie just so Edward would hear what you're supposed to say when a woman asks how they look in a dress.
"So, Julie, what do you think of this dress?" She looked stunned that I was asking her for her opinion.
"Honestly, I think you look gorgeous in it. However, I think it makes you look extremely pale. But still, it accentuates those golden eyes of yours so it has some possibilities." Edward shot a look at her that said 'Did you really have to say all that?'
"I think you're right, Julie. Do you happen to have a dress like this in lavender?"
"I'm not sure but I'll go check for you." Julie left in a hurry to go find the dress.
"Alice, was it absolutely necessary to ask her opinion?" Edward looked annoyed that I valued her opinion over his but that's what he gets.
"Of course it was, Edward. You obviously weren't giving me any constructive criticism on it so I had to ask someone. She probably has way more fashion sense than you do anyway."
"You're just saying that because she complimented you on how you looked." Julie came back dress in hand. She seemed to be hurrying to get back to us. I think she thought that Edward was hot so she wanted to be close to him while I was trying on clothes.
"Here it is. I think that this would look lovely on you." She surrendered the dress over to me and I went in to change. I hung the dark purple dress on its hanger and started to put the lavender one on. That's when I heard Edward under his breath whisper me a warning about what was going on where him and Julie were.
"Alice, she is starting to scare me. She keeps moving closer and closer to me. And I think she's sniffing me. You should hear what's in her head.
"It goes a little something like this: 'Oh my God, this guy is so hot, and his sister's even hotter.' I seriously think that she's gay or bi or something. At least she still thinks I'm hot." I had to laugh at his last statement. I slipped out of the dressing room.
"What's so funny, Alice?" Edward had that mischievous look on his face like he was trying to get me into trouble.
"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about how Jasper is going to react when he sees me in this. So, Julie, what do you think?" I was actually interested in seeing what her reaction was this time, although I was a little creeped out about her thought of me being hot.
"You look absolutely beautiful. It forms to your body so well and that color just makes you look so ho-I mean beautiful. Your boyfriend must love to see you in such beautiful dresses and other outfits." Oh, yes, she was definitely gay.
"I think I'm going to get this dress." Edward just rolled his eyes. I wondered if it was from one of her thoughts or from me saying I was getting the dress.
Shopping went on like that for a while. I bought the lavender dress, a dark green dress, and a pale yellow dress, all of which Julie said I looked beautiful-well hot, according to what Edward read in her mind-in. I bought matching shoes to go with each dress. We left the store and I realized that it was soon time that we needed to be home.
"Ok, let's go home Edward." I sighed while I said this and he looked at me concerned.
"Are you ok? You never say that you want to go home when you're shopping."
"Well that's what happens when you leave me alone."
"First of all, you weren't alone. You were with our entire family. Second, I wasn't gone that long. And third, I at least came back." It seemed that I had struck a nerve with him.
"Whatever, let's just go." We left the mall and walked out to the car. We got in and I decided to ask the question that I have been trying to block from my mind since he got home. "What's so special about the girl that you left home for?"
A/N: I'm stopping there. I'm going to post this now, 10pm. My creative juices are drained again. I may not have another chapter up in the next two days. Monday, I have to stay late to school to take a test and then I have to go to work. Tuesday, I have school and then dance class. I'm trying to convince my friend to come with me but I'm not so sure I can. Please review. Sorry, in advance for not updating.
