Anyways, enjoy!
I don't own twilight, but if I did …. I don't know what I would buy. A lot of things. A LOT.

"Well… Spill your beans already then!" I said impatiently, wondering what she was going to say in anticipation.
"When I walked in on you and Rose kissing… I felt SO jealous. LIke it should have been me kissing you instead of her." Bella said. I think my jaw dropped in shock and confusion.
My mind was racing, I wasn't able to think coherently. Was Bella seriously trying to tell me that she wanted to be with me? Like "be" be with me? She just told me the other day she was straight, and now she..isn't? I couldn't wrap my head around the thought, let alone give her an answer.
"Alice….Are you ok there?" Bella asked me.
"Yeah… I just can't believe it." I said back, staring into the wall.
"Did I say something…wrong?" she paused. "Al, I didn't mean to scare you off I just-"
"No, Bella, you're fine.. It's me. I just can't believe you want to.. be with me?" I asked for clarity. A huge grin came over her face, and her eyes glowed golden brown.
"Yes, I want to be with you." She said simply.
"So you're not straight then…?" I asked, stating the obvious. Her facial reaction made me smile, I couldn't help it.
"No…I'm bi-sexual. You changed me, Al, you really did. I didn't think that I was anything but 100% straight, but since the kiss, I couldn't stop thinking about it and you. It made me crazy not to say anything. I guess I've had these feelings about other girls for a while now, I just didn't acknowledge them. I was scared of them. I was into Edward, but things got weird with his ex-girlfriend and everything, and I just couldn't do it. It didn't feel right." Bella said, her voice strong and full of hope.
"Bella…I-" She cut me off mid-sentence again.
"It feels right to be with you." She stated simply. I could feel my cheeks burning and my heart pounding out of my rib cage. I felt my lips turn up into a smile, it was impossible not to. This time Bella was the one to make the first move. I watched her eyes as she leaned over to my face. Her hot breath fanned over my cheeks, as her face was inches away from mine. Her lips were soon soft and moving against mine, in a perfect rhythm. They were so smooth and plump, and I was soon feeling her lips part, her warm tongue coming to meet mine. She entwined her fingers in my hair, and my hands came onto her hips, guiding them to sit on top of me on the couch. I took my hand off her waist to throw a pillow out of the way, making her hips sit exactly against mine. She started to rock against me as our tongues danced together, fighting for dominance, but also at the same time burning with love and passion. We were both soon pulling away, gasping from the lack of air.
"Al….you feel so good against me." She said hesitantly. "But I'm new at this, I don't know what I'm doing."
"I understand Bella, I promise, we can go slow." She nodded her head at me, running her fingers through my hair. My thumb pulled up on the hem of her shirt, and my hand caressed her side. I saw her skin get goosebumps when I touched her, and I was so turned on by that.
"Thanks Allie, for everything. I really don't know what I would do without you, both as my…girlfriend and my best friend. You mean the world to me, and I wouldn't have gotten through half the stuff I have these past few years without you." She said sincerely to me.
"Baby, you're so sweet. I couldn't have without you either. " She smiled as I talked.
"What do you want to watch, we've missed all of this show." Bella said, grabbing the remote off the air of the couch.
"No idea, what's on?" I asked, forgetting what day it was.
"It's Tuesday, so 30's Rock, Modern Family, and American Idol."
"Jeez, busy TV night. Which sounds best to you?" I asked, moving around on the couch trying to get comfortable. Bella was sitting next to me, waiting for me to find a good position.
"Probably Modern Family. I need a good laugh, and American Idol hasn't been the same since Simon left."
"Agreed." I replied to her as I finally got situated, and Bella sat back into my lap, her head resting on my chest. I put my arms around her, and listened to her breathing in and out, the faint feeling of her chest rising and falling on top of mine. We ended up watching TV for the rest of the night and planning what we were going to do for the next day.
"So after class tomorrow, I was thinking…"I said, getting quieter at the end.
"Yes?" Bella said, waiting for me to continue.
"Do you wanna go downtown tomorrow after class with me?" she asked. "I figured that we could go to New York CIty for the weekend since we're close to there anyways, and we could go and get dinner and then maybe walk around and shop the streets?" I asked, nervous for her answer. This was, after all, the first time I would actually be going out on a date with her as us being girlfriends, and it was important.
"Aw, Al, that sounds like so much fun! I can't wait!" she squealed with joy.
"Me too, Bella, I'm glad." I told her, squeezing her in my arms in affection.

I was nervous as to what would happen between Emmett and I. Would he take me back? Thoughts and hopes and wishes flew through my head, in one ear and out the next before the thought was gone. I rang the buzzer of the apartment building, and waited. Soon I was buzzed in, and walked up the stairs to the second floor of the apartment, the door being unlocked and open by Jasper.
"Hey, Rose, what's going on?" Jasper asked in his southern accent, stepping out of the doorway so that I could walk in.
"Hey, nothing much, just hoping that Emmett and I can work things out, and he will forgive me. He asked me to come over here to talk, so here I am." I said simply, taking off my shoes at the door and walking through the living room. I left my coat on the arm of the chair sitting at the door, and walked over through the apartment to Emmett's bedroom in the back. I knocked on the door slightly, and heard a "Come in." in a very familiar voice that I had missed so much. I put my sweaty hand on the doorknob, which felt like the difference of night and day compared to my sweaty mess. I opened the door and walked inside, looking as I went. Emmett was sitting on the bed, a sad and hopeful look on his face, which my mind called regret. i also saw hints of anger and flare in his tone, which scared me. Emmett had never been mad at me, we had always gotten along. The only time he was mad, was when he got in a fight at a bar with some guy, who had been hitting on me all night. I pushed the thought away and told myself to focus, meanwhile sitting next to him on the bed. I crossed my legs, waiting for him to say something, and when he didn't, I figured that I probably should.
"Emmett… I'm so sorry about everything. I fucked everything up, and I regret it all. I miss you, and love you, and want you back. I have realized in the past few days, just how much I screwed everything up, because I've never wished that I could be in your arms again more in my life." I told him, spilling everything out. Tears were now running down my face into my neck uncontrollably, and I shamefully looked down at the bed. I felt his thumb wipe my tears falling from my cheeks, and his hand then came down over mine.
"Why… why Rosie? Why would you hurt me like that?" He asked me, trying to understand.
"Something just didn't feel right… Something wasn't the same as it always was. But I have done some serious thinking, and came to the conclusion that the only thing that didn't feel right to me, was not being with you." I told him honestly, skipping the part about kissing Alice.
"I miss you Rose, I really do. But you can't do that and then expect for me to keep taking you back like this." Emmett said, as I got full of hope. LIke this? So he is taking me back then? I screwed up bad, really bad, but I'm so glad we can still be together. He doesn't even deserve me, but yet he still wants to be with me.
"So you will take me back then?" I clarified, waiting anxiously for his response.
"Yes, baby, just don't do it again." Em said, and a huge wave of relief came over me. I leaned over to kiss him, and put all my love into it. I wanted him to know, without words, just how much I loved him and wanted to be with him, and how sorry I was. He was soon kissing me back with passion and aggression, but love hidden behind it.

(Next Day)
I knew that today was going to be a good day for Bella and I, and when I woke up, she was the first thing I thought about. She was also the first thing I saw, considering I crashed with her in bed last night, wanting to spend the night laying in her arms. Today was Thursday, so we both had classes earlier in the day. Mine started at 8, and Bella's at 9, which meant we both got out a bit before noon, and we didn't have classes on Friday. I turned onto my side, and kissed Bella's nose, making it scrunch up like a bunny's. I then trailed kisses from her nose down to her lips, where I started pouring love and affection into them. Needless to say, that woke her up, and soon her sweet lips were conforming to mine. I couldn't help but smile against the kiss, she made me feel so whole. I couldn't wait to spend the day with her downtown today, and possibly tonight, if she was up to it. I pulled away from the kiss, I needed air, and wanted to talk to my Bella.
"Good morning," I said, grinning next to her.
"Good morning. How are you this perky at such an early hour, Al?" Bella asked me as I laughed. "You ready to get up? I need to get breakfast, and so do you before class. Then after class, we can come back here to pack up our stuff."
"Stuff? What stuff? Al… How long are you planning on us being gone for?" Bella questioned, confusion written all over her face.
"Well, I was thinking before you woke up, why don't we spend the night in the city? We could get dinner… then I have a little surprise for you, but it wouldn't end until late, so we'd have to stay the night in a hotel." I thought aloud.
"I'm not sure about this Al… I mean what about Rose?" she asked. Hmm.. good point. I hadn't thought about that. I kissed Bella sweetly on the lips.
"I don't know, but I'll ask her about her plans for the next day." I got up out of bed, reluctant as I was to leave the warmth. 7 was a little bit too early for me to be up, but I had to deal. I walked over across the hall to Rose's bedroom, and I heard Bella get up and walk to the bathroom behind me. I walked into Rose's room, and sat down next to her peaceful form on her bed.
"Rose…" I whispered, careful not to wake her up by scaring her. She turned over towards me, the blankets on her bed twisted around her body.
"Hmm?" she said, her sleep still obvious in her tone of voice.
"Sorry to bother you. What are your plans for tonight? It's Thursday." I informed her.
"Hmm… I was going to go to the guys' place for the night… Emmett and I wanted to have some bonding time." When she said this, as tired and half asleep as she was, she wiggled her eyebrows up and down at me. "Why do you ask?"
"Well… Because Bella and I were going to go downtown for the night, and out to dinner. After that, I thought maybe we would get tickets to the Blue Man Group, I have heard from people in class that they hold a really good performance."
"Awwww." Rose let out, getting a huge smile to take over my face. I would have to work on this, I have never had so much lack of control of facial muscles in my life.
"Yeah, so it's good with you then if we leave a bit after class to drive there?" I confirmed.
"Yeah, sure, now let me sleep." Rose turned back over and pulled the covers above her head. I knew that nicey-nicey attitude in the morning wouldn't last for that long. I got up off the bed, and left her room, walking back to the bathroom with Bella. When I walked in, she was getting in the shower, and was only standing there in her bra and boy shorts. My eyes scanned over her body, sure I had seen her like this, but never with her and I together. Her silky brown hair fell over her shoulders, and came up to just below the top part of where her bra started. She looked so innocent standing there, and I just couldn't resist. I walked up to her and my lips crashed onto hers as I pushed her up against the bathroom wall. Her hands went into my hair automatically, and mine to her sides. I let my fingertips graze her hips, making trails up her rib cage. Her top lip took over dominance, and she sucked on my bottom lip. I moaned at the feeling, and pulled away slightly. I looked straight into her eyes, and when I saw happiness in them, I took that as reassurance. She came up to kiss me again, as my hands went up the back of her spine.
"Let me help you with this undressing for your shower…" I said seductively, and her eyes darkened at my words. I quickly undid the clasp of her black lace bra without a problem, and let it drop to the tile on the floor. I watched a smile come on her face, as I kissed her again passionately and took a breast in each hand.
"Baby….not too far… as much as I don't want to, we have to go to class this morning."She reminded me, breathing hard.
"Damn… I temporarily forgot about that." I said, frowning to her.
"Don't be sad, Al, we'll have plenty of time for this later." Bella said, smirking deviously.
"Fine.." I said, disappointed, but knowing she was right. I gave her one last quick kiss, and then went over to the sink to brush my teeth and get the smeared make-up off my face. I watched in the side mirror as she took off her underwear, showing me a great view of her ass. I whistled at her, as she turned around and smirked at me, she hated when I did that. Once Bella was out of the shower, I jumped into it, in a panic to get to class in time, now that I had lollygagged around all morning. I grabbed a quick chocolate chip muffin on my way out the door, leaving Bella and Rose to still get ready for the day.
Class seemed to take forever, I couldn't get out of there fast enough. The fact that I was absolutely dying to go downtown with Bella tonight wasn't much of a help either. As soon as the lecture for today was done, I was racing out of there. I quickly sent Bella a text to see if she was out of class, and then got in my car and drove back to the apartment. I got a text back halfway through my drive home, saying that she was indeed, on her way home. I smiled, knowing we could leave earlier so that we could get there earlier. As soon as I got into the apartment, I greeted Rose.
"Hey Rose." I said, hanging my coat up in the front closet.
"Hi Alice, how are you?" She asked, walking in from the kitchen.
"Good, and yourself?" I replied back, grabbing what I needed from the living room.
"Me too. Whatcha doing?" She questioned, noticing that I was packing up random stuff in my arms, which consisted of my phone charger, my hairbrush I left this morning, a sweater that I decided would be a good thing to bring, and my flip flops in case we ended up going swimming in the hotel sometime. I took it all and set it on my bed, going next to the bathroom.
"Just grabbing stuff that Bella and I will need for the rest of today and tomorrow." I said as I reached up for mine and Bella's toothbrush, figuring that I should also pack for her if I was already in the bathroom taking stuff anyways.
"Oh duh, right." Rose said, as I grabbed a make-up bag for our bathroom stuff and set the things on the bed. Rose and I talked about she and Emmett, and how glad she was to have him back. We also talked about Bella and I, which was an iffy subject for me to talk about with her. Surprisingly, she said how happy she was for us, and glad that we were all still best friends. I kept my packing up, and soon Bella was home joining me. We didn't need much since we were only going to be gone for a day, but there were things that I packed that Bella didn't know about. Things that would be necessary for our little Blue Man Group performance, that she was not yet aware of. Once we were done packing, Rose took off to go to Emmett's until tomorrow, and Bella and I were on the road for NYC.
"You do know that this surprise is killing me slowly and painfully inside, don't you?" Bella asked me, while I was driving. I turned to her and gave her a huge grin, knowing I was being torturous.
"Yes, I know very well." I snickered, laughing at her when her emotions on her face became slightly mad, but also playful.
"I hate surprises, you know." She whined.
"Yeah, yeah. You can handle it." I teased, trying not to let a laugh escape.
We arrived there at around 3:00 in the afternoon, just what I expected, although we did make two stops on the way. We checked into the hotel in no time, and went up to drop our stuff off and check out the place.
"Bella, I'm exhausted." I told her, ironically yawning as I said it.
"Me too." She replied,"You wanna crash before we go to dinner and have a little nap? Its 3:30 now, but we have to leave at 5:30, so we have 2 hours to do nothing anyways, and we can always shop tomorrow during the day." She convinced me into a nap, and we both took off our shoes and jackets, and climbed into bed next to each other. I curled into her warm embrace, wanting so much to stay there forever. I fell asleep quickly, the sound of Bella's breathing setting a steady rhythm.
Thanks for reading! Please review! I beg you :)
