CHAPTER 3
"Ooohh!" Alice squealed excitedly at me whilst carrying armfuls of clothes "Bella! Go try these on…now!" she commanded. I quickly locked the door and shouted to her that I hadn't finished trying on the clothes she'd given me about ten seconds ago. Nevertheless, a waterfall of clothes were thrown over the changing room door and were raining down on me. Rosalie had escaped the torture that is Alice in a clothes shop by going off to buy Renesmee some new outfits, I hated that although I was her mother I was being held hostage by Alice in order to own a complete stylish wardrobe filled to the brim with new (and very expensive) clothes, despite the fact that that had been a gift from the Cullen's after mine and Edward's wedding, along with our beautiful cosy little cottage.
"Bella" Alice's voice chimed through the store "Don't worry about trying everything on, you can do that tonight" I was instantly worried about being able to try things on tonight, because that would mean that I would have the clothes, which would mean….
"ALICE! Please tell me you have not bought all of these" I yelled at my new sister, she started giggling to herself
"No, Bella, not all of them, nearly, but not that dress, it makes you look like a peacock. Everything else though, why? Most people would be pleased about being taken on a shopping spree through LA with somebody else buying" Sometimes Alice could be so….flamboyant when it came to buying people unnecessary gifts, I just hoped that Rose was choosing out some appropriately priced items for Renesmee, she was still growing so quickly nothing lasted her. Just then my phone started chiming; my ringtone was my lullaby that Edward has composed for me. I got so caught up in listening to the beautiful melody that I forgot about answering it.
"Shoot" I muttered as I dug for my cell in my deep bag, glancing swiftly at caller ID I noticed that it was Jasper, odd.
"Hey, Jazz. What's up?" It was strange for Jasper to call me, although we were now on better terms it wasn't as though I ran up a phone bill talking to him.
"Hiya, Bell, Alice isn't answering her phone, I don't know why, it seems strange, she usually sees me about to call her and then calls me instead" He sounded worried.
"She might have left it in the car, Jasper, you know how she gets when she's shopping, just blanks everything else out. Did you want to talk to her?" I didn't want him to be worrying; he and the guys should be having a feast by now.
"No, not really, but could you just let her know that Edward wants her to let you choose the clothes for yourself and tell her that I love her and will call later on, ok?"
"Sure, Jazz" I laughed down the phone "But I think she wants to talk to you, she's glaring at me big time now" I laughed as I handed the angry Alice my tiny cell phone.
Just hearing Jasper's voice and Edward's name instantly made me desperate to see my family again, especially Edward and Renesmee. I still wasn't used to being a mother, although I have settled into it remarkably according to Edward, and whenever I hear Renesmee's tiny voice singing for me I almost burst with pride that my 'little nudger' has transformed into my little darling daughter, so bright and smart, yet so young and already has a husband to be (if she chooses him, which no doubt she will) waiting in the wings. It's still kind of crazy the way things have panned out but I like it this way, I'm happy this way.
