Everybody I am so sorry about not updating for a while, I've had so much coursework and I lost my USB stick which had my story on, I've only just found it now.

Chapter 5: Shopping

POV: Bella

The Cullen's were starting over once again, this time in Alaska. I was so happy about this I loved them all so much, especially Edward. Although we were taking things slow I couldn't help but feeling overjoyed whenever he was near me, I tried not to show this I didn't want him to think that he was totally forgiven.

I walked into the kitchen after spending the night in my room catching up on reading. Edward, Alice and Tanya were all sitting around the table. They all looked up when I came in, Edward had a big grin on his face, it had been a week since we were reunited and it had been the happiest week of my vampire life. "Good morning love." He said to me with my favourite crooked smile on his face. It was obvious he was trying to dazzle me; he was so full of himself.

I simply smiled and replied, "Morning everyone." Alice and Tanya burst into fits of giggles at me ignoring him; I looked over at him and saw the expression on his face. I immediately felt guilty. "Good morning Edward." He immediately perked up when I addressed him directly.

"So, fancy coming shopping today Bella?" Alice asked. I groaned at her not even bothering to answer her.

"Come on Bella, you need a new wardrobe for school." She whined.

"What!?" I asked her, shocked. Tanya chucked at my response, Edward on the other hand thought better of laughing at me. Smart man.

"If we have to go to school Bella then you're coming to." Alice told me, she had that don't mess with me look on her face so I agreed to school and the shopping. Maybe school wouldn't be that bad after all I hadn't been for two years it might even be fun. After all I would have Edward and the rest of the Cullen kids with me. However shopping was going to be hell as usual. "I'll meet you both in the car in five minutes." She shouted as she left the room to get ready. I looked at Tanya, who I assumed was Alice's other hostage but she shook her head and looked at Edward who was sitting there smiling at me. This improved the shopping trip slightly; I smiled at him and left to get ready.

When I was changed I went to meet Edward and Alice in the garage. Alice wasn't there yet but Edward was; he was leaning against the hood of Alice's Porsche grinning at me. I smiled back and stood next to him. "Hey." I said.

"Hi." He looked at me his eyes full of love; I didn't know why we weren't back together. I loved him and he loved me. Before I could dwell on my new line of thought Alice skipped towards us a big grin stretched across her face.

"Come on you two in the car, in the car!" she chirped pushing us in the back seat together. Jasper approached the car, he didn't look very happy. Edward chuckled at his brother, probably in response to some of his thoughts.

"What's wrong with him?" I asked Edward.

"He has also been dragged shopping." He said, while staring into my eyes, I realised that we were sitting extremely close. I shuffled along in my seat. Alice started the engine and we headed off to the mall.

"So what's the story with school?" I asked Edward while we got out of the car outside the mall.

He seemed pleased that I had chosen to ask him. "Well we're keeping to the same story. You on the other hand need a whole new depressing past which has resulted in you moving to Alaska. So how about you moved her to live with your aunts after your parents died in a house fire? We could tell everyone that you and our family were extremely close so after the accident we offered to take you in but your aunts thought it was best for you to move here. So after a long hard talk we decided that it was probably for the best for you to move away. However after a few weeks we missed you too much so we decided to move here after Carlisle was offered a job." He said smiling at me. I could tell that he had thought long and hard about this.

"Okay, so when do we start?" I asked him, I was rather looking forward to it. I hadn't really been out in public much as a vampire.

"Well… you start on Monday." He muttered, he wasn't looking me in the eye and what did he mean I start on Monday, what about the rest of them?

"What do mean, I start on Monday?" I said while having to hold the growl back in my throat.

"We start next Monday; the story is that you've been here two weeks. Tanya has been telling everyone in town, so they all know that you're here. She has also been dropping hints that old family friends may also be moving near by also. She is pretty convincing." He said all of this rather quickly, probably because of the look I was giving him. So I had a week of school by myself to deal with, I could handle that. However I think that my change in mood was more down to Jasper than my self confidence. The four of us walked towards the shops, Alice and Jasper hand in hand, me and Edward shoulder to shoulder. I could see him looking at me, I turned my head to meet him eyes and he gave me my favourite crooked smile. "Guy's cool it; I can not handle all your lust!" Jasper told us a smile was playing at the edge of his mouth. If I could have blushed I would have been scarlet.

"Come on Bella, all the cute clothes are over here!" Alice chimed while dragging me away from Edward and towards the clothe racks, she ran across the shop while the boys followed after us.

Alice pilled clothes on top of Edward and Jasper as they followed us obediently; she was like a woman possessed. I began to grow frustrated, I hated shopping. Alice knew my size and she never gave me a choice of what to buy, she could have shopped for me herself. Edward must have realised my frustration as he came to stand next to me while Alice was rummaging through yet another clothes rack. "Hey." He said smiling sympathetically at me.

"Hi Edward." I said smiling up at him; I was fiddling with the fabric of the clothing I was holding.

"I like the dress, it's a pretty colour." He told me looking down at the blue fabric I was holding.

I laughed; it was exactly the same colour as the shirt that he liked when I was human. I had been amazed by how many memories I had remembered when Edward was around me. "Thanks," I told him, "so does Alice." I saw a cheeky grin spread across his face, he swooped down and whispered in my ear.

"Let's get out of here." He whispered taking the clothes that we were holding and placing the on jaspers pile. I felt the grin spread across my face at the idea of spending time alone with Edward and getting out of shopping. I felt his hand slip into mine as we ran at a fast human pace out of the shopping mall and towards the car.
