I do not own anything Twilight related...everything including characters and places belongs to Stephanie Meyer.
Two Weeks Earlier
The shopping trip had been a major success. Both girls had multiple bags in their arms and the human was laughing and smiling almost constantly at Alice and her antics. The pair had spent hours perusing through the mall in Port Angeles shopping to their heart's content. Alice of course insisted on paying for everything despite the shyer girl's protests. Much to her own displeasure, Alice drove the pair back to forks abiding by the speed limit. She would have preferred to drive much faster, as she loved to, but she didn't want to frighten the younger girl. Alice enjoyed her time with the shy human and loved seeing the happiness in her honey brown eyes that she seemed to be the cause of. Angela seemed to be much happier now, and wasn't even bringing up Eric in any of the conversations anymore.
The two had been talking more and more in the past couple weeks. Bella didn't seem to mind so much, and liked the fact that Alice seemed to be enjoying her time with the other human. She joked a few times about Alice's wandering eyes when the three of them were together. Alice always laughed and told Bella how silly she was, but Bella's words made her fidget nervously. Alice loved Bella, she did…but she was fascinated with Angela. Something about her just called to her. She was like…a drug for Alice. It didn't help that her blood smelled intoxicating. The only blood that smelled sweeter was Bella's. She was hardly worried though, for either human. At this point in her life, or rather un-life she had an unprecedented amount of control over her bloodlust now. Only Carlisle was able to resist it more than her
The exchanged emails daily and Alice found herself looking forward to them more than she probably should. The days and nights seemed to fly by and between Bella and Angela; Alice was constantly on her toes. One night, after she left an exhausted exam ridden Bella slumbering peacefully in her bed, her phone chimed indicating an email had arrived. Kissing the smaller human on the forehead lightly she hopped out the window and flipped open her phone.
"Hey, I have something I want to ask you" Angela wrote.
"Shoot" Alice replied waiting anxiously for the question.
After quite a few long minutes her phone beeped again. "Hey, do you…want to go out for dinner or something tomorrow night?"
Smiling to herself Alice typed back. "Sure! I'd love to."
"You sure Bella won't mind?" came the timid reply.
Alice's already white skin seemed to pale even lighter. She was sure Bella wouldn't mind her going out to eat with a friend, even though she wouldn't actually…eat. The thing Alice was worried about was that maybe her fascination for the woman was more than just that. She just…didn't know.
Biting on her lip Alice wrote out the quick reply. "Don't worry its fine. I'll…have a talk with Bella."
After a few moments her phone went off again. "Ok, See you tomorrow night then. :)"
Alice cursed to herself under her breath and ran a hand through her short spiky hair before running back to the empty Cullen house. Her unbeating heart ached in pain as an invisible hand seemed to clench around it. She loved Bella more than anything, but she had to find out what about Angela drew her in so much.
She had to find a way to tell Bella.
Alright, here's Chapter Three. I know it's shorter than most of the chapters so far...but I do plan on at least making this one longer sometime in the future.
