Why in the world would Charlie ask that?
I went straight to my room, my physical relation with Alice resumed to kisses and hugs, she never asked for more. I don't know if I was ready for more. But when I'll be I know that I want Alice to be that person. To say that I've never imagined the things Alice and I would do would be a lie...an big lie...on so many levels.
That night Alice didn't come to hold me to sleep, needless to say, that drifting to sleep without her body next to mine, became an issue. Before I came to Forks I had trouble to understand how we could be comfortable sleeping next to someone, now I have trouble understanding how it could be comfortable sleeping not next to her.
Sunday I was woken up by the sound of my phone.
"Hello"
"Hi, Bella"
"Alice, How are you?"
"Great, I just called to say that, there is a small crack on the first lath of your parquet is separated from the ground, if you could avoid it , you would me very happy."
I laughed at this "Thank you"
"You're very welcome, So Charlie wants to talk to me?"
"How do you know?"
"You're not a morning person are you, I am a future seeing vampire, surprising me is very hard I'll have you know"
"True, so when will you be coming over?"
"In 75minutes and 54 seconds"
"seriously?"
"No I can know exactly though, but I'm gonna say an hour and half"
"Did you just make fun of me?"
"That I did"
"Okay, you know what they say about payback"
"Bring it on" she laughed
"You'll see"
"Seriously though, please be careful about the lath"
"I will"
"Okay, now go get ready, I love you"
"I love you too"
Ah my future seeing Vampire girlfriend. Wait was she really my girlfriend I mean now that Charlie knows, we're going to be able to be public at school, would that mean that she implicitly will be my girlfriend or should I ask her anyway?
I got up, showered, got ready trying to find the perfect dress code something that says I am good enough for your daughter to Carlistle and Esme, and at the same time to make sure Alice found me sexy. Easy...
Finally, I found it, tight jeans, with a cute top and a blazer...I hope it's going to be alright. I carefully avoided the lath, without the warning I'm pretty sure I would've fell all the way down, ended up in a hospital. Being with Alice was indeed good for my health.
Charlie was sitting in the kitchen.
"Good morning kiddo"
"Good morning"
"How did you sleep?"
"Well" not at all I need Alice to cuddle "Alice is on her way"
"Great"
"Oh and you might want to fix a lath upstairs"
"Oh Okay, did you stumble on it"
"No, I was lucky enough to avoid it" I smiled Lucky, that I am!
We heard Alice's car pull in the driveway. I ran to the door, to kiss her while she was still outside.
"Hello"
I answered with a kiss, God I missed her!
"I missed you too" she winked at me
"You're ready to meet Charlie"
"As ready as I could be" she smiled nervous
It was cute to see a hundred years old Vampire, perfect little stature nervous about meeting my dad. But I guess when it comes to that we're all just teenagers.
I opened the door, and she followed me in.
"Hello, chief Swan" she said flashing him one of her smiles that'll make you go to hell and back for her. My father blushed.
"Hello, Alice, call me Charlie please" he said.
Man she got him! With one smile! No doubt about my filiation!
"I wanted to tell you, I am thrilled that I am able to date your daughter"
"She's thrilled too"
kill me now!
Alice laughed.
"We are going to visit my parents, you are welcome to join us"
"No, I can't I have work. But thank you"
"You are welcome"
"Well, we have to go Charlie, see you tonight" I said
"Yes, I mean no I work late tonight" he said
"Erm okay" I said
I took Alice's hand and started leading her to the door.
"Wait" she told me "Chief Swan, I mean Charlie, my brother said I should ask your benediction properly to date Bella, but I just realized that I had no idea what properly meant so can I date your daughter?"
Her tone was soft and nervous, I think I fell a little bit more in love with her.
"As far as I am concerned, that was properly done" smiled Charlie "and Yes, you can , as long as you make her happy"
"Thank you" she said smiling at him again.
Okay, Swan's had a thing for Alice, I wonder how it'll go when she'll meet Renee.
We got in the car, and she started driving.
"So Jasper said you should ask?"
"Yes" she smiled "I had no idea I could be that nervous anymore"
"You tell me, I hope I convince your parents as easily as you had Charlie"
"They already love you, Bella." she laughed
The drive was quiet, I liked having these silences with Alice, they were never uneasy, not the kind of silences where we're trying to figure out what to say next. We were just being, silently being.
Alice pulled in front of a big beautiful house, not that I imagined coffins or anything, but not big bay windows. And a beautiful well maintained garden.
"This is your house?" I asked Alice
"Yes Carlistle built it for Esmee, she take care of the garden and of the interior"
"It's amazing"
"I'm glad you like it, wait until you see the inside" she laughed
She opened my door and took my hand, she seemed so excited about me meeting her family, I loved it, I loved that she cared.
She opened the door, I was faced with Edward.
"Bella, welcome in the house of bloodsuckers"
"Edward, don't scare the poor girl" said a soft voice "Hello, dear I am Esmee"
"Hello..nice to meet you Mrs Cullen" my heart was pounding and my palms sweating.
"Non-sense to you I am Esmee. Mrs Cullen is for strangers" she smiled warmly at me.
Dr Cullen, came to greet me too.
"Bella, it's nice to see you again, this time outside the hospital" he smiled
I smiled "Thank you Dr Cullen"
"No, Bella now you're family so you get to call me Carlistle"
"Thank you, Carlistle"
"Alice, why don't you give Bella the tour and meet us all in the living room" said Esmee
I wanted to hug her, for making this awkward, yet delightful moment come to an end.
Again Alice took my hand, and dragged me the first floor. And led me to a big beautiful room. Full of light and paintings, paintings and drawings everywhere.
"I wanted to tidy up things yesterday, but I thought that you should see my room for what it is most of the time" she said
I took a closer look to one painting, it represented 'the clairiere', it was so beautiful, the painting could overshadow reality.
"You painted this?"
"Yes, I painted everything in this room" she smiled " do you like it?"
"I love it. Alice you are super talented"
"Thank you" she laughed
This girl was a sample of paradise, she smiled and laughed at everything.
She got closer to me, and kissed me. Her lips pressed against mine, her tongue teased my bottom lip, before finding mine.
"As appealing as, spend the entire day kissing you in my room, is we have to go back"
I only nodded, not trusting my voice after the kiss.
no sooner had I set foot in the room, I found myself lifted into the air by a giant.
"Bella!"
"Emmett put her down" said Alice
"Okay little sis, relax" he said setting me free
"You'll get used to it that's how Emmett greet people" chuckled Esmee
"It's the only way to greet people" said Emmett
"So Bella, I wanted to tell you how happy we were that Alice found her mate, and even happier that you are this person" said Carlistle.
"Trust me nobody is happier than me, to be that person" I said honestly
"Yes, somebody" said Alice
"Who?" I asked
"Me" she smiled
"Oh Al I hope you know that I'm probably going to make fun of you eternally after that" said Emmett
"No you're not" said Alice
"How could you stop me?"
"I'll ask Rose to punish you" smiled Alice "You know what I mean Emmett"
"Alice I think everyone in this room know what you mean" smiled Edward.
Meeting the whole Cullen's clan went well, went more than well. But when Alice said she should take me back home, I was glad that I get to spend sometime alone with her.
Once we were in the car, Alice took my hand in hers while driving.
"Well, it went well" she commented
"Yes, your parents are great"
"Yes they are" she smiled
We arrived home quickly and Alice said she'll stay with me. We were lying in my bed when I thought about something.
"Alice can I ask you something?"
"Anything my love" my love
"Do you miss your real parents?"
She immediately tensed, and I regretted my question.
"It's okay Al, you don't have to answer"
"No, it's just that I don't remember my human life"
"Not a thing?"
"Nope, nothing, all I know, I've learned it from the researches that I made"
"Oh, I'm sorry"
"No need to be my love, I want to share all that I am with you, good an bad" she said.
I swear sometimes she says things and my heart grows bigger.
"Thank you"
"No need to thank me, I love you." she kissed my forehead "So, all that I found was that my real name was Alice Brandon, I was born in Mississippi, I had a little sister named Cynthia. As for my parents the only thing I know about them is that they sent me to an asylum because I was getting visions even as a human"
"They sent you to an asylum!" I almost yelled
she smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes.
"It's okay, Bells other times, other morals"
I laid back on her chest.
"Alice?"
"Yes my love?"
"I hate your parents, and I am glad you found Carlistle and Esmee"
"Thank you, I am glad I found you"
she kissed my forehead again.
"I am glad you found me too, you know"
She chuckled.
"Now sleep, tomorrow you and me are going to face another type of show at school"
I drifted to sleep, not even slightly nervous about what Monday would bring.
