Chapter 2~ complications
On our way back to the house I thinking about how I would explain to Edward what had happened with Alice.
I had never had a best friend who also kind of like a sister to me until now so I didn't know if it was considered cheating if it was just fun with my best friend who after all was a girl.
I knew Edward was closest to Alice when it came to his siblings so maybe he would let her off the hook. I was faced with the dilemma that I didn't want to tell Edward now but I had until late tonight to figure it out.
Edward had gone hunting with Jasper and Carlisle so I had some time to think.
The thought of time was different now that we had an eternity but I still knew I couldn't hide this from Edward forever.
I was lost in thought when Alice asked, "Do you know if you have any special abilities yet"?
"Not yet, in fact I haven't thought about it at all but I did have something unique if I was able to block my mind from Edward."
"That's it, a shield! What if you're able to shield my mind from him too?"
Alice was brilliant but I still didn't know for sure if I was able to do it.
"Lets test it when we get back to the house, I really hope your idea works." I said.
"I'm still worried though, even if it works we're going to have to tell him at some point." she replied. What worried me now was how I was going to keep my hands off her for now though she did promise we could do it again sometime.
"Well does Edward know the difference when people think about a memory and when they are just fanaticizing it?" I asked her.
"Come to think of it he might not, maybe when he asks about it I could tell him it's just a random fantasy." she said.
I prayed that was enough and make it seem like it was just a one time thing when he finds out. These possible resolves calmed me a bit, the last thing I wanted to do was panic.
As we neared the house, we could smell Esme cooking food for the wolves.
Since Jacob became alpha, he made it so my transformation wouldn't upset the balance between them and us.
Jacob and Seth were the most comfortable here and Leah just tagged along for her brother.
The other boys would also come over for the grub despite the smell but Sam refused to accept the invitation.
Things had finally calmed down around here and I was able to appreciate how peaceful it was.
"Where have you two been?" Emmett asked as we walked through the door.
"We just went shopping" she replied and walked up the stairs but I knew he wasn't convinced. For one thing we didnt have any bags in our hands.
"We left the bags in the trunk for now" I said with a smile in case he was suspicious then I followed Alice to her room.
For the next couple of hours we tried out our theory on if I was able to shield her mind.
I could feel when the shield reached out to cover her too and with every attempt it got a little easier. So with that we had a way to keep our little secret a secret from Edward for a bit longer.
That night Edward came home and we succeeded in hiding from him what I didn't want him to find out yet. I realized I could stretch and bend my shield to wrap around Alice from across the room and it wasn't that difficult to keep up.
"So what did you find when you went hunting?" I asked Edward when we here alone.
"Mostly mountain lions they're much more appetizing than deer but we found some bears too.
I'm thinking of something else that's appetizing as well."
I understood what he was referring to and we both got undressed in record time.
As Edward and I tangled together I couldn't help but think about Alice and how her skin felt under my touch.
I realized that even a female vampire's skin was somehow softer than a male vampire's was and through the whole night I couldn't get her out of my head.
In times like this the family all tried to give each other as much privacy as possible though it was still easy to hear Emmett and Rosalie going at it from across the house.
The next morning Edward agreed to go grocery shopping with jasper because we were already out of food for our guests but it was no surprise how much the wolves could eat anymore.
I was relieved when I didn't need to shield Alice's mind and as I walked outside to find Alice, she was already walking in the direction of her little cottage.
She must have seen the future to know when I was coming outside and that I was intending to ask her if we could have some fun again.
The thought of how wonderful she made me feel the last time made me almost want to do a full on sprint to the cottage with her but we took our time since Edward and jasper would be gone awhile.
Once we reached the cottage we went inside and locked the door even though no one knew we were out here.
We went straight to the bed stripping as we went almost not wanting to pull apart long enough to get undressed.
Her skin seemed so soft and as I traced the shape of her hip with my hand she let out a soft moan.
My hand went further down until I could rub against the inside of her thigh. She opened her legs wider so I could put two fingers inside of her.
As she arched her back and let out a gasp, she wrapped her legs around mine and I grinded up against her body.
As we started to kiss and rub our breasts together I catch a glimpse of movement through the window and looked up just in time to see Emmett staring at us through the window.
By the time Alice looked up he was already gone but I was sure that he was going to let Edward know what he saw whether he actually tells him or not.
A couple of hours later we decided to head back worried to see how Emmett will react when he sees us and what he's going to say. Just as we were walking up the porch Edward pulled up and Emmett was in range surely thinking about what he saw earlier.
It was too late for me to do anything and Edwards's reaction told me he was certainly not happy about what he could see in Emmett's mind.
For the rest of the day I had the chance to think about what I was going to say to Edward because he refused to talk to me.
As for jasper, he was still confused after reading everyone's emotions but no one summoned up the courage to tell him what had happened.
