A/N Hey guys I know I said I would have chapter 3 posted before Monday and it is past Monday. Sunday was my little guys 1st Birthday! I was busy with getting things done with that. So I am now trying to figure out where my story is going from here. I have an idea and I am going to try to update at least once a week! Please be patient with me! So thanks to my beta Run With Horses! Go check out her stories! With out further delay here is chapter 3…..
But first, DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Twilight or the characters, even though I wish I did, or just Edward!
Okay, here it is:
Chapter 3
Shopping with Alice!
Bella POV
Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.
Oh shit, I just went to sleep and now it's time to get up! Well at least I gave myself time to hit the snooze button once or twice. (A/N I always do this! Just to wake myself up gradually!)
"Bella, wake up! Alice is here!" My dad screams up the steps. What? Alice is here, but it's only 7:45. She said we were leaving at 9! Why the hell is she here so early? No sooner had I thought the words, a chipper and bright eyed Alice walks into my room.
"Bella, you have to get your lazy ass out of bed now! We only have an hour to get you ready!" She yelled right in my face pulling me out of my nice, warm, and comfy bed.
"Alice, I am fine getting ready on my own, I don't need your help." I snap. I was a little irritated she was here so early, and so fucking chipper! Seriously how much caffeine has she had already!
After Alice drags me out of my bed she pushes me towards the bathroom.
"Shower, then when you come out I will do your hair and make-up, but make it fast!" She said in one long huff. I scurry to the bathroom and get into a steaming hot shower. I let the hot water relaxing my muscles. After a quick 15 minute shower, I head to my bed room with a towel wrapped around my body.
She tossed me a bag and said, "Go back in and put on these clothes." I turned back to the bathroom to get dressed. I open the bag and see it is full of designer clothes! I put on the underwear set that has the Victoria Secret tags still on them. I then get to the jeans; they are a dark blue skinny jean. Then my shirt is a blue v-neck top. I sigh as I am use to wearing comfier clothes. I like to wear tee shirts and shorts, jeans if it is chillier or sweat pants if I am at the house. I then notice a shoe box. I open it, it's heals! She has got to be fucking kidding me. I am not wearing these, that's where I draw the line!
"Alice!" I call through the bathroom door. "I am not wearing heals while we go shopping!"
"Bella, they complete the outfit!" She whined.
"No, and that is final!" I yell at her as I walk back into my room. I pull out my reliable black converse shoes. Alice just stands there and shakes her head. I just smile and tie my shoes.
After I had my shoes on she sets to work on my hair. It takes her about 20 minutes to do my hair, and she is annoyed that she only has about 15 minutes to do my make-up.
"There! You look absolutely beautiful!" She states as she pulls me towards the mirror. "Except for you crummy old shoes," she says softly. I don't think I was meant to hear that last part. I can't help it if I am use to being comfortable! I roll my eyes. Then I notice myself in the mirror. I just stand there staring! Yeah, I wear make-up every once in a while, but I have never looked this good!
I smile and give Alice a big hug! "Thanks, I look HOT! If I do say so myself!" I said as I started to laugh.
Alice just rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, you look damn fine!" Then we both busted up laughing, until she noticed it was five till nine!
"Come on Bella, we are meeting Angela by the car." She pulls me towards the door.
By the time I got downstairs, I hadn't realized Charlie had left already for work. I grab my purse and we head towards her car.
I absolutely am utterly and irrevocably am in love with her CAR! It is an awesome yellow 911 turbo Porsche! I so want one! I run over Angela in the process of trying to get a better look at the car.
"Sorry Angela, I was so entranced by the car I did not realize you were there!" I said laughing as we get off the ground.
"It's okay Bella, if this was the first time I have seen this car I would have done the same thing." She said.
"Okay girls, lets get going. I want to shop!" Alice all but screamed at us.
We climbed into the car, Angela in the front while I climbed in the back. We listened to Paramore the whole way, signing, Ignorance at the top of our lungs. I have more in common with these girls than I have with any one of my other friends from Phoenix.
As we get to the mall my throat hurts from laughing and singing so much.
"Okay girls it is only 9:30 we made it here in good time, let's go get some coffee and then we SHOP!" Alice said while beaming at the mall doors. Her own personal heaven I assume.
I get a white chocolate mocha at Starbucks, while Alice and Angela get regular coffee. As we finish our coffees we start towards the first store. Alice dragged me to practically every store in the mall. Our first stop was Hollister, then Abercromè and American Eagle. She fallowed them with Gap, Old Navy, Dolce and Gabbana. Alice then dragged me and Angela into Victoria Secret for lingerie. I went kicking and screaming so to speak. Angela went with quiet protest.
After three straight hours of store to store shopping, I start to whine, "Alice, I am so hungry! Can we please take a lunch break?" My arms were weighted down by the tons of bags that Alice forced upon me. I was getting sore and tired.
"Come on Bella, If you would have gotten up earlier you could have had breakfast and we could make it for another hour, maybe two!" Alice said rolling her eyes at my growling stomach.
"Come on Alice, I am hungry too, and I DID eat breakfast." Angela said laughing. I love this girl rescuing my starving stomach!
"Fine, but we are getting McDonalds, it is fast and quick." Alice said in defeat as we head towards the food court to feed the monster that is my stomach.
After we ordered we went and sat down and ate our lunch quickly. As I got up to dump my tray Alice squeals and jumps to her feet. It startles me and I trip and start to fall forward. I fell to arms wrap around my waist. I instantly tense up. I straighten myself up and turn to see who helped me from falling flat on my face. It was Edward. I blushed like crazy!
"Thanks." I mutter to Edward.
"No problem, how are you surviving your first shopping trip with Alice?" He asked.
"I am exhausted, but I am having a good time." I state simply.
"Bella! I have someone I want you to meet!" Alice said loudly, scaring me. I turn to look at her and she has her arms wrapped around a tall, muscular, but not huge, blonde guy. He had blond wavy hair, and sweet looking blue eyes. He is very cute.
"This is my boyfriend, Jasper." Alice says beaming up at him.
I smile and shake his hand and we exchange short greetings.
"Bella, This is Ben, he is my boyfriend." Angela said. She was holding hands with a tall, and lanky (but not too lanky) boy. He had brown hair and brown eyes. He was also very cute. Again I smile and we exchange greetings.
"Now that we have some guys here, let's continue on our shopping quest!" Alice said all but jumping up and down. This girl needs to cut out any source of caffeine, to be hyper all day, everyday? It's a bit much.
I groaned to myself, or so I thought. I noticed that Alice looked at me and glared. I give her a shrug and a small smile. As soon as my hands were back at my side Alice was speaking.
"Edward, why don't you carry Bella's bags for her," She smiled and pulled out a pout. I doubt even I could have turned down that face.
"Here, let me take those." Edward said as he grabbed the bags from me.
I smile and say thanks. He just nods and follows everyone to the next store.
An hour later I am beat. I beg Alice to let me call my dad to come pick me up.
"No! We still have 10 stores to get to and only 3 hours left!" She said, as if that was nothing. I just roll my eyes and continue to walk.
"Alice?" Edward said. "Why don't you finish your shopping with Angela, Ben, and Jasper and I take Bella home?" I am pleading inside my head, please say yes, please say yes!
"Fine, but Bella, I am going to continue to buy you things and you ARE going to wear them!" She says to me while glaring. I just nod my head, thanking my lucky stars that I am able to go home!
Edward and I turn and start to walk towards the front entrance.
"Thank you so much!" I say.
"No problem. I wanted to leave just as bad as you did. Alice's shopping trips are a pain in the ass some days." He says, with a small laugh.
"I can only imagine. I am so tired, my feet hurt, and to think Alice wanted me to wear heals! I would have probably have died from falling over all day," I said
He just laughed and as we reached his car he loaded my bags into the trunk of his car. Then he proceeded to open my door for me. Such a gentlemen, I smile to my self.
"So Bella, what was it like growing up in Phoenix?" He asked.
"It was nice, sunny and warm. I miss it. I think I miss my mom mainly though." I said. I have a bad case of word vomit. Hopefully I don't say anything to embarrassing.
"I bet. What do you like most about Forks so far?" He asked
"Well, I met some great kids around my age. They will make the first day of school much easier for me." I said as I started to laugh.
"Yeah, I know these kids, and they are the shit! They are the people who are definitely going places." He said rolling his eyes with a huge grin on his face. I smack his shoulder and instantly feel a jolt from my finger tips to the very core of my body. I turn and look out the window; I don't want him to see me blushing over something as trivial as just barely touching his arm.
We rode in a semi awkward silence for a few minutes. Edward then started to ask me questions about my friends from Phoenix. I start to talk and it seems like seconds later we pull up to my drive way.
I get out of the car and head towards the front door. I hear the car door open and Edward says, "Are you not getting your bags?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot." I mumbled and walk back to the car. He is already at the back of the car and is loaded down with all my bags.
"I can help." I say.
"I got it, just get the door for me." He says. "Where do you want them?"
"Um…Just set them in the living room please." I say walking towards the Kitchen. There is a note on the counter from Charlie.
Bella,
I have gone fishing. Here is some money you can either order take out
or go to the store for some food.
Love,
Dad
Edward walks into the kitchen. I put the note down and look up.
"My dad is fishing, he just left me money and a note saying he was gone and what I could do for food." I say simply before he asks.
"Oh, okay. Well, do you want to go get something to eat with me, or even come to my house for dinner?" He asks with an unsure look on his face.
"Uh, as long as you don't care. Either is fine with me." I say, not entirely sure if he wants me to go or stay here.
"Yeah, we can go to my house for dinner. My parents have been dying to meet you ever since Alice started talking about you yesterday." He says with a genuine smile. I nod my head and give him the same smile in return
I write a quick note to Charlie, explaining I was having dinner at the Cullen's house and would be home later. Edward and I head to the car and drive off towards his house.
I can't believe Edward invited me to his house for dinner. I can't believe this. I hope his parents are nice and don't mind me intruding too much.
As soon as I calm myself down I look up at a huge house. Panic starts to set in what if I do something embarrassing? Edward opens my door and gives me a small smile. We walk to the front door and he opens it. I take a step and fall knocking over a vase and slicing my arm.
Oh fucking great, I don't meet any one yet and I am bleeding all over their floor! Just fucking great. I look up at the sound of running feet and see …..
