Chapter 17.

Bella POV

Opening my eyes and squinting a little whilst i adjusted to the light, i moved my hand to brush my hair from my face, when it ran over cool skin, brushing against it softly, it left me with a refreshing tingle, making the tiny hairs on my arms stand on end .

Remembering who i was with, a smile broke across my face, peering upwards, there she was, her eyes closed, her face wearing a peaceful expression, beams of golden sunshine projected through the window, highlighting her bare body. Her firm but gentle grip caressing my upper body, the proximity of our bodies, entwined, left me with a compelling sensation; small goose bumps coated the surface of my skin.

I ran my hand across her body again, tracing little lines in strokes across her shoulder. She opened her eyes, wearing an angelic smile.

"Good morning"

"Hey Ali Ali Alice" I replied, playfully.

"Ali Ali Alice?" She asked grinning

"Yeah...im just teasing – and now im suddenly very aware that im naked." I felt my skin flush all over.

"Is that a bad thing?" Alice enquired.

"Nope. I forgot i was, so it was sorta unexpected – but good unexpected. A little odd. I mean im naked, in bed...with you.

She didn't say anything in response, she continued smiling, turning on her side to look at me.

I couldn't help but be mesmerised every time that i looked into her eyes, the deeply liquid topaz color, so beautiful, intricate colors, the various shades of gold, remind of the ambient colors of rare gemstones. Her black pupils, the little holes, windows into her soul, i could get lost looking into them.

The sharp tingle of pins and needles in my arm made me twitch.

"Ugh!"

"Ugh?" she said, questioning

"Huh?"

"You grunted?" she raised her eyebrow, clearly a little confused.

"Dead arm." I couldn't help but smile, she seemed so fascinated by the tiniest things.

"Oh, right" she spoke softly, pulling me tighter into her embrace.

Its surprising how comfortable the silence is, i could remain like this forever, basking. Nothing had ever felt this good, i could think of a million clichéd things to compare it to, not even caring that they were clichéd, just taking the moments in, watching her smile at me with her eyes closed. So Adorable.

"Toothbrush" i remarked aloud. A little bewildered by how caught in the moment i was.

" Oh Bella, your pillow talk is so romantic" she giggled to herself, brushing my hair out of my face and placing a gentle kiss on my forehead.

Alice POV

The emotion of having spent the night with Bella was incomparable to any other that i had experienced. The only other emotion that i could compare, that was any near as powerful, well i felt that last night.

Watching her smile at me, listening to her make what was actually extremely cute small talk. The feeling is...wonderful. My arm resting against her lower back, our faces inches apart, i traced patterns across her soft skin, feeling the small intricate lines and crevices, under my touch. The warmth that her body emitted comforting me, our bodies not in full contact, but her heat flushed over me, a feeling akin to putting my hands over a fire, stealing its glowing warmth only in this instance i wasn't stealing the heat, i was sharing it, Bella donating her precious warmth to me.

"What time is it?" she asked, chewing her bottom lip, still slightly smiling.

Looking over at the clock. 7.00...school starts soon....Edward!

"Its 7oclock but Bella, Edward will be here soon won't he?"

"Edward." She whispered, averting her gaze for the first time since she had woken up.

"I should leave. I've got to go get ready, you should to, and please could you hurry and wait outside for Edward before he arrives, if he comes in here...he will know...what happened"

"Shouldnt we talk about...what this all means?" she hesitantly.

"Yes....later okay."

Swiftly shooting around the room, i dressed quickly.

Sitting back down on Bella's bed, she was still curled up underneath the covers, practically glowing, although the smile she had worn earlier had faded.

She sat up, holding the covers to her front and looking at me.

Leaning forward, i drew her into a kiss.

Pulling away after realising that time was ticking, "I love you.

"I love you too Alice."

"See you at school." I smiled, before jumping out of the window and off into the woods.
