A Kiss at Midnight
As much as I love Alice, I have to say that she is sneaky. Very, very sneak. Why? Well, it seems that she didn't think that I am able to kiss Edward, let alone go anywhere near him. So she decides that she didn't spend enough the day before and that she wants to go again, only this time she's caught Rosalie's interest who decides she too wants to go and therefore brings Emmett and Jasper, much to their displeasure, came alone to who in turn made Edward come alone and Alice not wanting her brother to be the fifth wheel invited me. –INHALE and EXHALE– Whew.
So yeah, here we where, the six of us all at the mall, Alice and Rosalie buying whatever their heart desires while Jasper's and Emmett's muscles were dying. Jasper though reminded quiet while Emmett complained the entire time. Edward, who was my 'shopping buddy' as Alice called it, was bag-less.
"Bella you have to buy something," Alice told me at noon when we sat down to eat lunch in the food court.
"I'm fine, Alice," I said while Alice's left eye seemed to have tightened a bit. It seems she didn't liked that answer.
"Man I wish I was Bella's 'shopping buddy,'" Emmett said, dropping the bags he had into an empty chair next to him.
Rosalie glared at him. "She has Edward," she said, plainly.
I blushed. Alice must have told Rosalie the 'plan' about sticking Edward and me together. Wait a minute…She HAS Edward?! Edward wasn't mine to have in the first place and I surely didn't have him now.
"Bella you have to buy something," Alice said, passively happy as normally but only I could tell that behind her high preppy voice was a glare the 'have' gave it away clearly.
"No way," I said, knowing I was pushing my luck. "I am not spending a dime of your money."
"Think of it as a gift," Edward said, draping his arm across the back of my chair.
Alice's eyes widened for a second and I knew what she was thinking. I flashed her a 'don't go there' look quickly before saying, "You guys spend enough as it is on me for Christmas."
"Bella," Alice said, dragging out my name to every letter.
"Fine," I said, resting my head against the table.
Everyone laughed.
We finished out lunch and went our separate ways. Alice gave me a look before wrapping her arm around Jasper and went on their way.
"Where do you want to go, Bella?" Edward asked me, placing his hands deep into his pockets.
"I…I don't know," I said, looking up at him.
Oh man! Why did Edward have to have such beautiful green eyes? I swallowed.
"Well let's just go wonder around," Edward said, offering me his hand.
I looked at his hand. He wanted me to take it? I slowly reached for it and grasped it. Edward smiled at me and lead the way down the mall. My heart was racing as I followed him down the mall.
"So how is college?" I asked Edward, breaking the silence between us.
"It's been interesting," Edward said with a slight smile. "But I miss being at home."
"Even from Alice's and Rosalie's shopping crazy and Emmett's crazy tactics?"
"Well," Edward said hesitating.
I laughed. Suddenly I spotted something from a jewelry store. I didn't want to stop but my feet must have a mind its own because I ended up walking that way, pulling Edward that way who I guess didn't expect my sudden change.
"Whoa, okay, walking that way," Edward said.
I stopped and looked at the locket that hung in the window. It was the same as mine. The sight of locket made me think of what Alice. That Edward gave me the locket…
"Hey that's the same type of locket," Edward said, looking at the locket too.
"Yeah," I whispered.
"Every figure out who sent it too you?" Edward asked.
"No, not really," I said, pulling away from the window.
"Hey I want to take a look at something," Edward said, pulling me into the store.
"AH!" I said, following him.
Edward pulled me into the store and walked right up to one of the ladies, leaving me to look at some bracelets they had on display. A charm bracelet…I had always wanted a charm bracelet. Looking at the bracelet, the locket that I had yet take off hang forward to come into my line of vision along with bracelet…
"Kiss him…Kiss him…" Gagh! Stupid Alice's words….
I have a different plan…
"What are you looking at?" Edward asked, coming towards me.
"The charm bracelet," I whispered, "I always wanted one."
"So get one."
"I rather have someone else buy one…it would mean more to me if someone else bought it," I said, looking at him.
I didn't realize how close he was until that moment when I looked up at him. His eyes were really, really, REALLY green! Man, I could get lost in them…I think I did because the next thing I heard was, "Maybe you will get one soon." He smiled.
……
Later that night, just before I went to bed, my father knocked on the door and handed me a box.
"It just arrived," he said, before closing the door.
I raised an eyebrow and opened the box…and inside was a…
Charm Bracelet!
