Chapter 18

Rosalie's POV

She still hasn't replied to by confession and I'm scared. Being scared is so unlikely of me. It's usually out of my character, but what can I say? Bella brings out a different side of me. It may seem that I have moved on so quickly but love can make you do things and moving on was one of them but Bella may not love me back. She loved, no, loves Edward dearly and the connection they had was hard to break.

"Forget I said that, okay? I wasn't thinking straight...." I kept rambling on. This is embarrassing.

"I love you too." She mumbled and that made me stop.

Did she really just say that? Did she really say that she loves me back? Could this be true? Isabella Marie Swan just told me she loves me back. This may be the best day of my life. I almost squealed. I quickly hugged her and pulled her towards me and kissed her directly on the lips and that kiss was even better than the one we shared in the dressing room. This kiss was filled with passion and best of all, love. I could feel that she really loves me and I do love her back, no matter what. Right now I could care less about the hoots of the boys, of Emmett, of Jasper and Edward. All I could care about was the beautiful girl in my arms. She was only mine and no one else's. My Bella. It sounded right.

"Okaay!!! Break it up!" someone said and so we did. Bella looked so shy. If she was human, she'd be tomato red by now. I'm guessing that she has never done this before with Edward. She smiled weakly.

"I love you, my Bella." I said sincerely, loving the way her name rolled of my tongue.

"I love you too, Rose. A lot." She replied and she planted a soft kiss on my lips before breaking away. I smiled. The crowd already dispersed. All we saw was Travis who was grinning wickedly.

"I have to say that you two looked smokin'!" he exclaimed. Bella and I just rolled our eyes at him. He can be such a perv. I then noticed the tons of bags he was carrying and some were even brands for women like Victoria's secret.

"I never thought you were gay. Lingerie?" I teased. He looked like he could be blushing.

"They aren't for me." He said flatly.

"OH... Are they for your mother then? Let me say that your mother has excellent taste." Bella also teased and he shook his head furiously. He was about to reply when we saw Alice skipped towards us. She stopped when she was near us. She smiled weakly.

"Hi, guys." She greeted.

"Hi, Alice. I... uh... b-bought this for you." Travis said as he held out his right hand and all I could do was stare at him.

Alice's POV

After the hard search for a cheap but good store, I finally found it. All the clothes were chic and fabulous and at the same time cheap. This a good place to invest my ten thousand dollars in. I started checking out clothes and shoes when I heard howling and hooting. What is this noise about?! And from the tone of the voices, they were all coming from boys. Hormonal boys. Ughh.... They are so ruining my concentration. Do they not know that a certain amount of concentration must be placed into shopping? Of course, they won't understand that because most guys are stupid. The howling became louder and louder until it reached a point that I could no longer tolerate it. I sighed, frustrated and angry. I needed to know what was happening. I first paid for the things I decided on and proceeded to follow the noise and I did arrive in the men's department. The noise was already gone. That angered me more but I saw Travis, Rose and Bella. I skipped towards them. I noticed that Travis looked very embarrassed. I should take a picture. I stopped when I was near them. I smiled weakly and greeted them. What shocked me was when Travis held his right hand up and offered all the bags he held. I was shocked. He actually thought of doing that for me. That is so sweet. I squealed due to the happiness I felt. He smiled at me shyly. That really suits him.

"Thank you!" I said as I hugged him tightly and he wrapped his arms around my waist and it somewhat felt right.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it." He whispered and we broke away. He also told me that he would carry the bags for me.

"Anyway, what was with that noise?" I asked. Bella and Rosalie shared a look while Travis shrugged.

"There was this insanely hot woman who was streaking. You know.... Typical boys." He said nonchalantly. I arched an eyebrow at him.

"Let me guess that you were one of those boys?" I stated.

"Of course not. It would be uncivilized of me to watch the woman streak." Travis said solemnly.

"Says the man who went inside Victoria's Secret." Bella teased and Travis stuck his tongue out. Wow. Bella looks happier. So does Rose. They are definitely hiding something from me. The question is what and why.

"It was for Alice." Travis pointed out.

"Of course! We better go before Travis embarrasses himself to death." Rose said and we all chuckled except for a frowning Travis.

We soon got to the car. Travis was going to drive and I was beside him while Bella and Rosalie were at the back.

"So, what happened with you two?" I asked them curiously. I didn't get any visions of them while I was shopping which was weird. They looked at each other and the same time shrugged. Why are they hiding something from me?

"Nothing much." Rosalie replied. Weird.

I'd let it go for now. I'd find out later.

When we got home, Rose and Bella called everyone to the living room. They both looked so happy. Hmm.... I think I may know what happened. I just want to hear it from their mouths.

a/n: Sorry for the long wait. I have been so busy with school and other activities. This chapter isn't really my best. I've been so out of it lately due to the stress. I hope you can forgive me. I can't update as often as I'd want to. Anyway, tell me what you think and if you have any ideas to make this story better.
