We drove in the direction of home until we turned off onto an unfamiliar exit. " Where are we going?"
"Bella, don't you ever just of out for a drive?"
"No. My truck didn't have the best mileage remember." He nodded but still didn't answer my question. "Edward, where are we going?"
"You'll see." I sighed and stared at the blur of trees that flew by. Little by little the trees were better seen and I could actually make out the trees when we pulled into a dim parking garage. Edward pulled into a parking spot on the middle of the second floor. He hopped out and opened my door. I grabbed his outstretched hand placed my feet onto the hard asphalt.
"Hey you two. How's the new car?" Alice's sweet, pixie voice caused me to turn around.
"It handles beautifully though Rosalie will need to tune it up a bit when I get home," he smiled at Alice.
I was confused; I looked at Edward then to Alice and then back to Edward. I placed my hands on his hips, "what is going on you to?"
Alice slid her arm into mine, "Kidnapping! Edward I'll have her home before Charlie gets home."
"Call me before you leave so I can meet you at home," Alice nodded. "I love you, Bella," he kissed the top of my head and hopped into the Jaguar. "See you later. Behave for Alice."
"Edward, what are-" He sped off with a huge smile on his face. "Alice what was Edward talking about?"
She didn't answer she just pulled me across the parking lot and into a double sided elevator. She pressed the button with a one on it the elevator descended. There was a ding and both sides of the elevator opened. Alice pulled me through the other doors and into a crowded mall. I slammed my feet onto the ground and pulled my arm out of her grip. "No, I'm not shopping Alice." She grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the nearest bathroom.
She lifted me onto the counter top and placed her hand over my mouth, "Bella, the school dance is in two days. We are all going including you. Edward has something special planned so don't throw a fit for me. I'll get you a dress and then we'll be out of here." She stared at me as she slowly moved her hand from my mouth. "Will you behave?"
"Sorry, Alice."
"Let's got pick something nice out for Edward." I jumped from the counter top as she led me out into the lively hallways of the mall. We walked into a store just around the corner from the bathroom. Alice walked down the hallway leading the way to the occasion department. She walked up to a clothing rack and grabbed in dress in my size and throwing it into my arms. Once the stack became overwhelming she lead me into he nearest dressing room. "Bella, try on everything and anything you like place to the side. Show me he dress after to put it on."
I let out a sigh as I slid into a brown dress with mint green dots all over it. There were small sleeves and it reached just below my knees. I liked it and walked out to show Alice. "What do you think?"
"I like it Bella, do you?"
"Yea," I spun around and Alice smiled.
"Bella, trying on one doesn't mean that you found the perfect dress. You need to try on more," I walked back into the dressing room; I slipped the dress off and threw it into the keep pile. I slipped another on and stepped out. This process continued until I tried on everything Alice had given me. I tried on every style dress in every color you could think of until the huge pile dwindled down to five dresses. An electric blue halter, a little red number, a brown spaghetti strap, a black strapless, and the brown dress with mint dots.
"Bella, I think you have should choose the brown one or the red one."
"I don't know, I want either the blue one or the red one." I slipped my shirt over my head and stepped out holding five dresses in my arms. "Alice it's up to you."
She looked up at the ceiling as if to be thinking before she looked at me with a grin on her face. "Let's buy all three."
My jaw dropped, "Alice, that, no. I will decide now. I hate it when you guys spend money on me. Besides Edward just go me a new car and that was more than enough money."
Alice placed her hands on my shoulders and spoke to me slowly, "Bella we have money, a lot of money which allows us to buy anything we want. I don't think that buying a few dresses is going to hurt our wallets okay?"
"I know but I feel guilty when you buy things for me." I looked up at Alice who was holding back laughter. She removed her hands from my shoulders and wrapped her hand around my wrist. We placed the two dresses that we weren't going to buy on the shelves and walked to the register. I handed the dresses to the Stone Age lady as we waited patiently for her to ring it up.
"Now we have to buy you shoes." Alice's face was bursting with delight. She needed to find help for her shopping addiction; it was starting to get really scary.
"Don't you buy shoes when you choose a dress? One dress?" I emphasized on the number one.
"Bella, you'll choose a dress last minute and then there will be no time to choose then there will be no shoes that match. Besides you'll need dresses later and if we do buy shoes now that mean s less shopping later." I smiled as she said this and nodded my head for a silent yes.
"That will be $153.68," the sales lady held out her hand as she read us the amount. Alice pulled a gold credit card out her wallet and handed it to the sales lady. "Thank you for shopping with us today."
"Can you hold them here for us?" The lady nodded and handed Alice a slip of paper. She wrote her name as the sales lady placed our bags together and Alice's name tapped to the front bag.
We turned and walked out of the store ready to finish off the spring event shopping when my stomach growled. I smiled an innocent smile, like a toddler when he tracks mud into the house. She grabbed my arm and pulled my into he food court. "What do you want?"
"Something small like," I scanned the room, "a slice of pizza." We went into line as Alice ordered me a small slice of cheese pizza. I sat down at the nearest table and ate with Alice's impatient eyes on me the entire time. Her fingers tapped rhythmically on the table as she watched my food roll around my mouth with every bite. Finally I put the last bite of crust into my mouth as Alice grabbed my tray stuffing the trash into the overflowing trash can and placing the try on top if ketchup covered trays from McDonalds.
She wiped her hand a clean napkin left over from my lunch and raced me to the closest shoe store. I wasn't as scared walking into the shoe store as I was walking into the clothing department. I already knew what I was basically looking for so my time was cut in half on the finding the perfect shoe game. I walked into the store and tried on heals of every matching color and strap pattern until I had found one pair for every dress. I also found a new pair of black flip flops that I had to have. So after a long day of shopping and catching up on all the new gossip I was ready to go home.
"Alice, please hurry and unlock the car I think my arms are going to fall off." She smiled and unlocked the car and popped open the trunk. I placed the dresses flat against the floor and placed the shoes on top of them. The ride home was fairly quiet except for Alice's rambling on about hair styles which I zoned out after a while. I zoned out do far I fell into a dreamless sleep.
"Sweetie?" I slowly opened my eyes to Edward's face inches from mine. I stretched out my body to find that I was being held in his arms. I freaked out and grabbed Edward's shirt collar.
"Stop moving or I will drop you." I smiled and looked up as I looked up into his golden eyes. He opened my front door and carried me into my room where we were welcomed by an uninvited guest.
Author's note: I dedicate the chapter to my friend Danielle. Bella's experince with Alice shopping is a personal experince that I had before Homecoming. She literaly threw clothes over the door for my friend Taylor and I to try on. It was crazy.
