CHAPTER 5: Surprises
"Oh, Alice, my dress won't fit me after all this junk I'm eating"
"Doesn't matter Bella, you'll look gorgeous even after this. Besides, when you change into a vampire, your body will be more than perfect" She chuckled "So, don't you want to eat then?"
"The hell I do! I want to enjoy as much human food as I can"
Alice flopped back on the bed, laughing hysterically. We laughed for more than ten minutes straight.
We- actually, I- ate a quarter kilo of cookies n creme ice cream, two packs of microwave popcorn, a small pack of strawberry Pop Tarts, two boxes os Swiss chocolate, a whole bag of mini Snickers and a Party-sized bag of M&M's. That was pretty much it.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" She asked, trying to control her laughter.
"Well, I'd like to hear your story"
"Of what?" Alice confused, wow.
"Of your life, of course!"
"Oh well, it's not that interesting at all. From my human life I don't remember anything, and my vampire life has been like: I was alone, then I found Jasper, then we both found Carlisle, then it was like eighty years doing nothing relevant then BOOM! You arrive. The end."
"Wow, exciting."
"Kind of" She sighed "Bella I want to ask you something"
Okay? Why is she even bothering?
"Go ahead, Alice, you know you can ask me whatever you want"
"Okay- no, forget it, I already saw your answer" She smiled
"Oh, stupid vampire gifts" I huffed
"Watch out, you vampire-to-be human!" She mumbled, pretending to be hurt.
"I know I should shut the heck up" I laughed "But anyways, I have to have my last mocking moments as the klutzy human I am, don't you think?"
"Oh, yes you do! Besides, how many people have the chance to say that before becoming a vampire?" She teased.
I laughed until I fell asleep.
Next thing I remember was a pair of hard, frozen arms carrying me, but I was too tired to open my eyes. And everything went black again. When I really woke up, it was sunny, it felt warmer than usual. Then I noticed that I was sitting in something less comfortable than the hotel's huge and fluffy bed. It felt and smelled like leather. Then I heard a soft purr and I felt I was moving. 'Maybe I'm still dreaming' I thought to myself. Then I heard someone calling my name, and well, duh! It hit me. I was in the backseat of the red Ferrari; I opened my eyes and heard Alice on the phone
"…. Coming back?... Oh okay... Bella for god's sake wake up!… Our flight takes off at Ten AM… At two PM… Okay, thank you… Jasper! I love you." She sighed.
She hung up.
I yawned huge and loudly.
"Gooooood morning Isabella, how are you today?"
"Good morning Alice, I'm good and you?" I mumbled, still groggy.
"Oh, more than amazing thanks for asking." She smiled
"Really? Why is that?" I asked, confused
"Bella" She rolled her eyes "Do you have any idea of where are we going right now?"
"Actually, I don't…"
"Oh for Lord's sake! Look outside your window!" She groaned.
"JF… oh! The airport! I thought I was dreaming when you said we were going back home earlier" I said, relieved that my biggest desire was true and that I wasn't that crazy after all.
"Bella, Bella, Bella" She sighed "Always the tone of surprise, huh?"
"Sorry Alice… What time is it?"
"It's almost nine AM, you should probably get ready now. We are almost there. Here" She said handing me a mirror.
I looked at myself in the huge round crystal
"Aaaaaaaaaah! I'm a mess!" I shouted, horrified.
"Your toiletries are in the purple bag next to you." Alice informed me.
I took the bag and pulled the brush off and tried to comb my hair.
"Oh dammit my hair is hopeless!" I yelled.
"Leave it like that, Bella, I'll try to fix it later okay?"
"FINE!" I pouted.
We got into the car rental office, returned the red Ferrari, and then took off to check in our luggage. Yes. Alice is such a shopaholic. I mean, she arrived here with two empty cases and now she was checking in five. I, on the other side, arrived here with one small duffel bag and was returning home with eight apart from my wedding dress and shoes bag. That was a lot. Really. Like it was not even necessary. I mean are you serious? I was not going to wear all those clothes! I was not going to stay forever on my honeymoon. I wish, but I was sure I wasn't. On the other hand, what's the use of buying that amount of clothes if those clothes wouldn't fit me after I was changed?
"We will donate it afterwards, Bella" Alice had promised. Now that made me feel a lot better :). After we checked in, we went to get me breakfast, I just ate Mc. Donald's. Then I went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Then Alice helped me with the nest that is supposed to be called my hair. I honestly don't know what on earth did she do with it, but after five minutes or so, it was better that I would have ever tried to make it.
"Okay Bella, you're officially decent" She finally said
"Sure I am" I mumbled "What time is it?"
"Nine thirty sweetie, let's get going! We're gonna be late"
"Okay" I smiled.
We got into the plane and hell I was still tired. Alice could tell.
"Fine! Sleep, then!" She snapped.
"Thank you! Wait, Alice?"
"Yes, Bella?"
"When we were in the car, what were you going to ask me?"
"Oh, er, well I was just wondering what your power might be after you were changed."
"I don't know, what would you think it would be?"
"Well, I don't know, maybe some kind of shield? As the one you already have?"
"That is not much of a gift, isn't it?" I said, without hope.
"It is actually. It's very useful"
"Sure it is" I mumbled.
"Sleep, Bella, don't worry okay? You'll be fine. We will all be there for you. Always"
I sighed "I know Alice. Thank you"
"Sweet dreams!"
And everything went dark.
Then, after what seemed like a second, Alice shook my arm.
"Bella? Wake up sleepyhead, we are home now!" She whispered
We got off the plane, claimed our luggage, and then went outside, where Jasper and Emmett were waiting for us with Alice's yellow Porsche and Emmett's Jeep.
As soon as he saw Alice, he ran to her at vampire speed, not caring if he was seen or not. When he got to her, he embraced her and kiss her passionately on the lips. Emmett and I coughed.
"Oh, shut up, Bella, I'm gonna keep an eye on you when you see Edward okay? And you, Emmett, I wish you were as quiet as I am when you're with Rosalie"
"Sorry, Ali. Jazz" Emmett mumbled, looking at him. I blushed.
"It's okay Emmett, though I wish that too. Bella, believe me, I know how you feel"
Okay I had to laugh at that. Jasper, Jasper.
Alice drove her Porsche with Jasper and I was in the Jeep with Emmett.
"How was the shopping trip my little sis?" Emmett teased, as usual.
I rolled my eyes "As good as always, Em. You know" I sighed
"Ha! I know, don't worry Bells, you'll get used to it… someday"
"Can't wait" I groaned
Emmett laughed, almost the rest of the way home.
We got there and Alice and I took off to her room, while the boys unloaded the packages from the cars to Alice's room.
"Alice, where are the others? Esme, Rosalie…"
"Edward" She huffed "They are hunting, remember? I was planning to beat them home and surprise them, you in?"
"Definitely"
Half an hour later I was up in Edward's room, all but covered from head to toes on Alice's, Rosalie's, Esme's, Emmett's, Jasper's and even Carlisle's clothes and praying this plan worked. Then I heard a car outside, and my giveaway got louder- my heart.
"Emmett? Jasper?" I heard Carlisle say
"We are here!" They both answered.
"Have you guys heard anything about Alice or Bella?" Esme asked, as sweet as ever
"Actually… they called, and, well… Alice said the shopping is taking longer, and that they are not coming back until some shoes are finished, and that means… three more days"
"WHAT!" I heard Edward yell, I had to muffle my laughter- though I was really excited that this was working. Haha.
Then they were all yelling and all I could take out of it was 'I'm out of here!' from Edward. Darn, I knew it.
Then I heard the door slam and Edward whisper "I can't believe I trusted Alice in this, she said she was coming back today, and she's not here, when she gets back I'm gonna rip her head-"
"If I were you, I would take that back right this instant, Edward Cullen"
His head snapped up, confused. I stood up.
"Well? I'm waiting" I said
