Chapter Sixteen
Edward's Point of View
I cannot believe Tanya did that! She called me her mate! I'm no where near to being her mate! I'm Bella's mate, for the lack of a better term. And I do not have any immediate plans to change that status!
All day I knew Jasper could feel my anger and I also knew that he and Emmett would ask me when we got home. I got in the car after school and drove Bella home. I didn't feel as angry with her beside me.
I said my good byes to her and told her I would be back later. She nodded and walked into the huge house.
Anger flooded me as soon as I would out of site of the house. When I arrived home, I walked in and Jasper and Emmett were in the living room waiting for me.
"Where is everyone?" I asked.
"They all went to hunt and won't be back until later." Emmett replied.
"So why are you so angry?" Jasper cut to the chase.
"Because I heard that someone made an appearance and told someone to stay away."
"No! seriously? Wait, I'm confused." Emmett said.
"In other words, it has something to do with Tanya. Now Edward, explain everything." Jasper said.
I explained the whole situation and they both said, "Seriously?"
"Yes. and I am so mad that she would say something like that!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah! I mean, why would she call you her mate? I mean it is pretty clear you are Bella's considering you stay at her house every night and watch her sleep!" Emmett said.
"What's wrong with watching her sleep?" I asked.
"Nothing, Edward. It just says that you care a lot. No ordinary guy wouldn't just sit there and watch a beautiful girl sleep through the night. Their thoughts would be focused on other… activities." Jasper said.
"Well, I cannot even think about Tanya. She better not talk to me, she may get a limb ripped off. Just warn her." I said.
"Alright, now. Want to hear about our love lives?" Emmett asked.
"Why not?" I sighed.
"Alright, well. Rose is hot! I mean majorly! And I hardly notice that she's a fairy! Also we both have nothing really in common but for some reason, we fit together perfectly." Emmett smiled proudly.
"And Alice! She is so perky and happy all the time! I love that environment! No negativity at all! We both share a little interest in history although she likes the now more then back then because she says the 'now clothes' are way more trendy." Jasper smiled.
"You talked clothes?" Emmett asked.
"She is a fashion girl." I said to Emmett.
"How do you know?" Emmett replied.
"I happen to be dating her sister. You don't hang around their house without getting to know a few things." I told them.
"Well… did you hear anything about us? Did they say anything?" Jasper asked.
"Wow… this is weird. You want to know what they are thinking. Ask them." I said.
"But why!?" They whined, "You read minds! Help!"
"I had to do it the hard way, you have to do it the hard way."
"You can read Bella's mind dude!" Emmett replied.
"No, I can't!" I said to them and they stared at me wide eyed.
"You are only telling us now that you cannot read Bella's mind?!" Jasper said worried, "It is just her?"
"Yes, why? What do you think can…" Then it clicked. He thought she would or could betray us! "No! she's not like that!"
"Alright. it was just a thought." He raised his hands as if to surrender.
"Well, fine! We'll do this they hard way." Emmett sighed and turned on the television. I sat and waited patiently for the time Bella would be home and free from fashion paradise.
Bella's point of view
Alice dragged me into the house and to the kitchen. Mom and Rose were there looking at me with smiles on their faces.
"What?" I asked.
"We're going home for shopping!" Rose blurted.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah! We're going to teleport there!" Alice smiled.
"alright, you kids have to go before you miss store hours. Remember, it's two hours ahead there." Mom reminded us.
"Okay! let's go girls. Here are your purses. I have a cell phone just in case of an emergency but, other then that, no one has a cellular phone!" Alice said handing Rose and I our purses.
She grabbed us and said, "See you soon mom!" and then we were out of there.
We appeared outside the mall that was furthest away from our castle. I looked at Alice and she said, "I don't want anyone to know we're here. Besides, there's a huge dress sale here today."
I smiled at her and we all walked into the mall and started looking around. I could sense all of the fright coming from everyone. They were still anxious about the vampires, I guess.
We walked to this store and that's when I saw it. the perfect dress!
"Oh my goodness!" I said slowly. The girls looked from me to where I was looking and they lit up.
"It's perfect! Let's go try it on!" Alice said dragging me into the store.
We stopped at the check-in counter and there was a girl fairy reading a magazine.
"Excuse me. can we please try on that dress?" Alice asked.
The girl looked up and her eyes went wide. She knew who we were.
"Of course, milady." She said before getting up and walking to the dress in the window. She came back with it and handed it to her.
"Thank you. but, please, just call me Alice. None of us want to be caught here." Alice whispered to her.
"We all thought you went away again for safety." The girl said.
"We did. But, we needed dresses and we thought, where best to get dresses then from our home?" Alice smiled at her.
"Would you like to try this on?" The girl asked.
"Yes, Bella would love to." Alice smiled at me.
The girl looked at me in wonder. Everyone knew I was future queen.
"Of course. Come this way milady." She said to me.
"Please, it's just Bella." I told her.
She nodded and led me to a room. She opened the door with her key and handed me the dress.
"If you need any help at all, please just shout." She smiled and walked out of the room.
I quickly tried on the dress and that's when I knew it was made for me! It fit me like a glove and it was the perfect color. I walked back out of the change room wearing the dress and Alice and Rose were looking at me with wide eyes.
"Bella, you look amazing!" Rose said, walking around me with a smile.
"You absolutely do. Edward's going to die all over again after seeing you!" Alice laughed.
"I hope not." I giggled.
"In other words, you look hot Bella, yet you look… like a princess!" Alice smiled.
"Let's get it… it's perfect." I smiled.
