BPOV
I lie on the bed with my eyes closed. Finally being able to rest for awhile. We didn't get home from the club until two o'clock in the morning. Of course, I can't sleep... which I would absolutely love to do. Alice and Rosalie are chatting on the other bed animatedly. I groan and place the pillow over my head. Please, please stop talking!
"I think we should hit Versace first and then we can go down the line."
"Yeah, we got the cheap store out of the way so Bella can't complain." I sit up and look at my two sisters.
"You know, I can still hear you?"
"Oh, we thought you were 'sleeping'." I snort.
"In case you haven't noticed but it's kind of hard to 'sleep' when you have two chatty girls sitting on the bed next to you." I roll my eyes and lie back down on the bed, staring at the ceiling. They start whispering to each other with the same enthusiasm. I roll my eyes again and start thinking about what Edward's doing right about now. I hope he's having a good time with the guys. Alice said something about Emmett wanting to play football.
That would have been a sight to see. I close my eyes, but then it got quiet. Too quiet. I can't even hear their thoughts. My eyes fly open to see both of my sisters standing at my side with evil little grins on their faces. I quickly freeze them before they can do anything. I look at them, frozen in place and I smile. I really like this power. I move to their bed and close my eyes after I unfreeze them.
"Holy crow!" Alice shrieks as she finds that I moved from my bed to hers. "How did you move from here, to there so fast?"
My eyes fly open again and stare at her for a few seconds before realization settles in. She smirks and shakes her head. "You tricky little vampire. I can't believe you used you power against us! Your own sisters!"
"Bella, I thought we made it clear that you can't freeze us when we're on this trip."
"But you were about to attack me!" I defend my actions. "I can't let you do that to me! I don't want to go shopping yet!"
I start to whine. "I don't want to go yet. Can't I have some rest?"
"Bella, vampires don't need to rest. We can't sleep." I sigh, it's true, I don't feel any ounce of tiredness. But my mind keeps telling me that I should feel tired. So I'm listening to my mind.
"But I'm tired." I whine some more. Rosalie chuckles.
"Bella, I've never seen you whine so much in the whole time I've been around you." I stick my tongue out at her. "Come on, it's just one weekend."
I hate how she makes it sound like it's no big deal. That it's just a stupid little chore that I have to do and everything will be just fine and dandy afterwards. Everything won't be fine and dandy. I will have a pile of clothes I bought with Edward's Gold Card that is really unnecessary. But I'd have to wear them anyway or Alice will flip out, and I don't want to waste any money I spend on these designer clothes. I hate wasting money.
"Bella?" Alice waves her hand in front of my face. I snap out of my fuming reverie.
"Two more hours? Please?"
"No, Bella, it's already six o'clock in the morning. Stores will be opening soon. So lets take this opportunity to just walk around New York City. We can walk by Good Morning America if you want." Alice smirks. I chuckle thinking about what it would like if us three were to appear on television behind a bunch of ordinary people. We'd stand out like sore thumb. Rosalie with all her goddess-like looks, and Alice with her pixie-like gait. And me, just an ordinary dazzling vampire.
"Shall we?" Rosalie asks both of us. I smile, that would be something funny to do.
"Sure, why not." I say as a smirk forms on my face. "We should call the guys to tell them to watch GMA for us."
"We'll do that on the way down there."
"WAIT." I shout before anyone starts to move. "Good Morning America doesn't come on until seven right?"
Alice slouches on the bed. "Yeah, you're right. What should we do til then?"
Rosalie's eyes light up. "Make signs?"
"Make signs!" Alice repeats and jumps up and down. "Yeah! Let's go get some stuff for it!"
Alice hops over to me and pulls me off the bed. I scream as I'm being sent flying to the other side of the room. I use my quick reflexes to stop myself from crashing against the wall. I land on my feet lightly and glare at Alice.
"You almost made me make a hole in the wall!"
"Ah, but you didn't. So no harm done." I roll my eyes and Rosalie wraps her arm around my shoulder and Alice's.
"Come on girls, lets go make signs and give a quick shout out to our boys at home." Rosalie smiles and we all walk out, surprisingly enthusiastic, about our little plan for the morning.
- - -
Imagine three "gorgeous" girls walking down the streets of New York City carrying big signs with glitter falling off of them. That's us, and I'm quoting a few of the men when I say we are gorgeous. Even though, Rosalie thinks that she is... I still am quite self conscious of how I look.
We make it to the area in front of the TV station where they shoot Good Morning America. There are crowds of people already waiting for the show to start. The majority of them all have signs saying that it's their birthday or their wedding anniversary. There are a few signs saying that their going to get married soon or something like that. It's all very original.
Alice, Rosalie and I all decided to have our signs coordinate with each other. Alice had this vision that the boys were going to break poor Esme's furniture in the living room. We felt that we should let them know so they won't get in trouble. Esme doesn't like it when our furniture gets broken.
So our signs have "Emmett, Edward and Jasper! Don't do anything stupid while we're gone... Like break the furniture!"
Rosalie has Emmett's name on her poster, I have Edward's and Alice, of course, has Jasper's. And on the bottom of each poster has the message written in groups of four, three, and four. It's really funny.
"We need to get in to the front!!" Alice exclaims as we get to the crowd. Some of the people turn around and their mouths drop as they see us. Luckily it's not sunny outside. The New York City haze is blocking the sun from coming down. We still glisten a little but not as conspicuous.
"Alice, calm down, we'll find a way." I tell her as we maneuver our way to the front where the gate is. Where are those girls from? They're gorgeous. See? I wasn't lying when I said I was quoting the men.
I chuckle as we continue to push our way to the front. It would have been easier if we could just run at vampire speed to the front, but we don't want to get caught. The smell of the people's blood tickles inside my nose. It's disgusting. Rosalie notices the disgust on my face and she chuckles.
I can't believe you are so immune to human blood so early. I'm really proud of you. I look at her in shock. Did she just say she was proud of me? How strange. Is she starting to warm up to me now, now that I'm really a vampire?
"Thanks." I say out loud and she nods. We make it to the front and I see Sam Champion standing out there talking to the producers about when they're going to start. One of the producers scan the audience and his eyes fall on us. He leans in to him and whispers something in his ear. I listen in to his mind to see what he says.
"When you're going to go around to talk to people go up to these girls over there. The blonde, brunette, and the black haired girl. They're going to make the show interesting." I smile to myself. We're going to make it on TV. Let's just hope the boys listened to us and they're going to watch Good Morning America.
"They're going to come talk to us." I whisper low so only Rosalie and Alice can hear me. They both smile big.
"Great!" Alice chirps and she starts to bounce in her spot. I place my hand on her shoulder to calm her down. People around us are starting to stare, and I'm feeling really self conscious now.
Wow, those girls are gorgeous!
I wish I was just as pretty as that blonde. Why am I cursed?
I want that brunette girl. I pause, and quickly snap my head in the direction of the voice. She's looking at me!
My eyes glare at the man that whose thoughts were aimed at me. He flinches and looks away. I smile as Alice and Rosalie stare at me with small smirks appearing on their faces. "You're starting to fit right in with our family." Rosalie chuckles.
"Thanks... I think." The screen on the building begins to show the show. We watch as Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts both talk to each other animatedly about some topic that is going to come on in the next hour. They go through a couple headlines and then they go to the weather.
Sam stands in front of the camera wiping off any excess dirt on his shirt. The producer counts down and Sam smiles. "Thanks Diane."
The audience starts to scream and wave their hands maniacally. Alice is jumping up and down with her sign in her hands. And I find myself and Rosalie doing the same. Wow, when you get in to the moment... you don't feel so self conscious anymore.
The weatherman starts talking about the weather and sends it off to the local news stations. In the brief seconds he comes walking over to where we're standing with a smile on his face.
"Do you ladies mind if we talk to you?" We all smile and shake our heads.
"No. Not at all." Rosalie flips her hair.
"Great, where are you ladies from?"
"New Hampshire." Alice offers. Sam smiles big as the camera man signals that they're going to go back on air. The people around us start to cave in on us so they can try to get on camera as well. Rosalie, Alice and I all have our signs up and ready for the world to see.
"That's the weather from your neighborhood. Here we have three lovely ladies from New Hampshire. Can you tell us what your signs are about?" The camera man zooms in on our signs.
"We left our lovely husbands at our home and we don't want the furniture to get ruined again." Alice giggles.
"Be good for our mom!" I say with a smirk on my face and Rosalie laughs.
"Yeah Emmett, don't do anything stupid."
"Well boys, I think you should listen to your wives. Have a lovely morning ladies, I hope you all enjoy the show."
"Thanks!" We all say as he walks away from us. We all start laughing hysterically. The people around us stare at us in awe at our musical laughter. They're married? A few shocked thoughts ring through my head. I laugh even harder as I high five Alice with my left hand. My wedding band securely on my third finger. Alice's band is on hers, along with Rosalie's. We all decided to wear them today.
"Come on, Bella we need to start shopping now." Alice says tugging at my arm. Rosalie is starting to worm her way through the crowd. I shake Alice's grip and follow closely behind her and Rosalie out. When we break free from the mosh pit of people I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I take it out and answer it with out looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?"
"Hi love." I hear his musical voice through the receiver and I breathe out a sigh of relief.
"Edward! It's so great to hear your voice." I bite my lip, a habit I'm picking up since I can't blush.
"I saw you on tv." I can hear the smile in his voice. I chuckle lightly.
"You did? We looked like dorks didn't we?" Alice gives me this strange look.
"No, I thought you looked lovely, and my sisters looked like the dorks." I laugh. Alice reaches her hand out so I can give the phone to her. I shake my head and turn the other directions.
"So are you going to listen to us? No breaking the furniture?"
"Love, I'll do whatever you tell me to do. Just be safe, for me."
"Edward, I'm indestructible now. I think I'll be okay." I roll my eyes. He's so protective of me. But I guess that's part of his charm. I feel the phone tug out of my hand and Alice smiles as she puts it against her ear.
"Edward, remember our agreement? No calls while we're having the girls night out." Alice chuckles and rolls her eyes. "That was so you guys would watch us!"
I hear Edward's voice get louder, it sounds like he says to put me back on the phone. "Sorry, Eddie, but we need to get going on the shopping. She'll see you when we get home tomorrow."
I start to fume, she's not letting me get a chance to talk to my husband! "Alice, let me have the phone!" I stick my hand out and she shakes her head, like I did to her.
"It's for the best, brother. You have fun with Jasper and Emmett. Tell Jazzy I say hi." Alice hangs up the phone and hands it back to me. I stare at her in shock.
"I haven't had the chance to talk to Edward all weekend! Why did you do that?" She shrugs her shoulders.
"It's for the best." She repeats and starts walking across the street, without looking. Rosalie and I quickly follow behind her. I know that if we would to get hit by a car, the car would be in more damage than we would be. We walk in silence as the determined Alice finds the first store we are going to hit. We turn on to Fifth Avenue and that's where I see the store. Versace. Now I remember what Rosalie and Alice were talking about this morning. Ugh, this is going to be so expensive!
We walk in to the store, and my eyes almost bulged out. These are way too fancy clothes. I would never wear them! Alice and Rosalie decide to let me browse around by myself while they went off to different sides of the store. I decide to go to the accessories area. Maybe I'll get a necklace or something.
I don't find any jewelry worth buying so I move on to sunglasses. I'm going to need these now, more than ever. Just in case I haven't fed in a while; I don't want people to be afraid of me because of my eyes. I try on a few sunglasses before I find the perfect one. It is black and has rhinestones that crisscross on the sides. That's really pretty, Bella. Alice's thought rings in my head I turn to find her across the store winking at me. I smile at her, I think I'm going to get it.
I look at the price tag and my eyes, again, almost bulged out. Two hundred and eighty-five dollars? What? For a pair of sunglasses? "Wow." I say out loud. One of the sales person near me chuckles.
"They're real rhinestones. It looks really good on you, it'll be worth it. Trust me. I have a pair of my own."
"Yeah, but you probably have a discount." I mumble. True.
"Yeah, that's true, but still. It is a pretty good deal. I mean, look the other's are like four hundred dollars." I look at the other sunglasses and smirk. She's right.
"You're a good sales person." She smiles.
"That's why they hired me. So, do you want to buy them now? Or should I let you browse around some more."
I shake my head, "No, no, no. I'm going to just get these." I smile and walk over to the counter. As I'm paying for my purchase, my two sisters walk up beside me with a piece of clothing in their hands.
Rosalie has a maroon colored blazer which looks very well with her eyes. Alice has a bright pink blazer perfect for her style. I didn't ask them how much those cost. After paying for my sunglasses, I decide to just wear them out instead of carrying it in a bag. Rosalie and Alice quickly pay for their purchases and we walk out of the store.
"Where to next?" I ask looking at Alice. She has a big smile on her face and winks at me.
"You'll see."
- - -
"Oh man, if my feet could hurt, it would by now." I say as I'm dragging my bags in to the hotel room. By the end of the day we hit at least thirty stores. Can there possibly be any more that we can go to tomorrow?
We stopped in, Armani Exchange, and then we went in to Emporio Armani. Since Armani Exchange was just for me. Then we stopped in Paul Smith, which I was forced to buy some more clothes. I think we hit almost all the stores on Fifth Avenue. It was completely crazy, but surprisingly I had some fun.
"Bella, you're overreacting." Rosalie chuckles as I throw myself on to the bed. I breathe out and close my eyes.
"Lets go to another club." I sink in to my bed further. I feel Alice's weight sit beside me and I frown.
"No. I just want to rest."
I hear Rosalie and Alice sigh at the same time. "Where is that fun Bella we had this morning?"
"Left after I bought these glasses." I point to the sunglasses on top of my head.
"You seemed to have some more fun later on after you bought those glasses. And you can't deny it, I saw the smiles." I bite my lip. They're right, I did have fun today. My eyes open to both of my sisters staring at me with puppy dog looks.
"Ugh, not again!" I close my eyes again and turn my head in to my bed. "I don't want to go out!"
"Bellaaa." Alice whines. I cover my ears. Bellaaaa!! Both Rosalie and Alice whine in their heads. I remove my hands from my ears to freeze my sisters but they grab my hands before I can do anything. "Don't even think about it, sister."
"You're cruel. You know that right?" I say as they pull me up in to a standing position. They both smile and nod. "Of course you guys do."
"Come on, let's go clubbing. We are all going together. No one is being left behind."
"But what if one person doesn't want to go?"
"Then, that said person will be made to go by brute force." I pout and cross my arms. "And she can sit at a table for as long as she wants."
That brings a smile to my face. "Really?"
"Yeah, you don't have to dance with us if you don't want to. We just think that it would be nice if all three of us are together." Rosalie sits down and smiles. She's being real nice lately. I wonder if this is going to be a permanent thing.
"Fine, let's go. I'll dance for awhile." Alice and Rosalie both jump up with a 'yes!'. I laugh as we all walk out of our hotel room for another fun night out. I've never had any sister type relationships before and to be honest, I'm glad I have these two as mine.
