CHAPTER 6
"Bella?" Rosalie turned to me "Do you want to speak to Renesmee now?" I didn't understand why she would have to ask me such a question
"Yes, Rose, more than anything, yes" I replied, smiling at her warm and beautiful face. She laughed as she passed my tiny silver cell phone back to me.
"Nessie" I breathed down the phone sighing with relief
"Hiya Momma! I really like Carmen, she's nice isn't she?" my daughter's small voice chimed through the speaker, I couldn't help but laugh at her innocence.
"Yes sweetheart, I like Carmen too, you're very lucky she found you. Please don't ever run off like that again, otherwise I may end up going prematurely grey"
"Not possible" Alice hissed at me from the front of the car, honestly, when I make comments usually meant for humans I don't mean them literally, yet Alice always answers me - without fail.
From the phone all I could hear was Renesmee's tinkling laugh,
"Momma, tell Auntie Alice she makes me laugh please" she laughed again whilst I passed on the message and started up defending herself
"Now listen to me, Momma" she began "I'm not going to run away again, but I did think I saw Jake on the teacups" Ness sighed to me.
Ok, I believe you, but darling, you must always tell who ever you are with where you are going!" I replied, I realised I was starting to sound a lot like Renee and I never thought that would happen.
"Well, ok, but can I please go now? Carmen's bought me an ice cream" I laughed at my little Ness and at the longing in her voice
"Go ahead sweetheart, enjoy it" I replied then added on "And don't forget to say thank you!" but she had already ended the call with "I love you!"
"I knew she'd be ok" Alice sighed matter-of-factly from the front of the car
"Hm-mm Alice, sure you did, whatever" I trailed off, into thoughts of sun, sparkles and family, this was even closer to sleep than I had been when I was talking to Rosalie about Ness's clothes...this was a good day-dream, I didn't vampires could day-dream but I wasn't complaining, this was nice, relaxing...and then...
"Bella?" I sighed then opened my eyes as I answered with a growl
"That would be my name, Alice" she rolled her eyes at my poor attempt of sarcasm but continued anyway "We should be home in about an hour" Well that was just great, 'wake' me from my first vampire daydream that wasn't focused on wanting to get home sooner to tell me that we were nearly home which in turn made me incredibly impatient. I think Rose must have guessed my reaction because she muttered something to Alice about how she should know not to do things like that if she enjoyed having two legs, but apparently Alice just found my reaction amusing.
"Hahahah" Alice laughed her tinkling laugh and smiled "Sorry Bella, but I love seeing your expression, you're just like a bull that has just had a red cloth waved in front of its eyes" What a compliment.
"You know, if you had just left me to 'day-dream'" I indicated day-dream with my fingers as quotation marks in the air "I would be relaxed still and having no trouble on concentrating on not taking over the wheel from you" and believe me, I was honestly considering jumping over the seat and knocking Alice out of the way.
"Bella!" Alice was still giggling to herself "You are just so tense! Relax a little bit" Wow...I never thought I would ever get fed up with Alice..
