Phase Six – Shopping

Everything that was supposed to be said was out of our lips. I felt lighter than I already was, not because I could walk the steps of a graceful vampire. The only problem was, how were we going to break it to our lovely husbands? This was going to be hard, and I knew that Bella already had Nessie to worry about. I took a quick glance over at Bella and saw her smiling from ear to ear. She was happy, and this got me to giggle. Oh, how I love to see that happy look on her face. The same look that I've received when she threw herself in my arms after a long separation while she was still human. The girl didn't think for herself, and I was thirsty then and her scent was empowering my senses. I had managed to control myself then, to not hurt her, and I was surprise at my own strength. I guess the thought of her really dying got the best of me.

"Am I that funny?" She asked and I couldn't help but giggle some more. She was truly adorable, if I was Edward I wouldn't leave her in the first place.

"Yes, and I found you adorable." I knew that if she could blush, she would have done so by now. She turned to look at me, and that pouty look got me to go 'Aww'. My hand instinctively went out to her cheek, stroking the hard skin gently with my thumb. Instantly she leaned into my touch, and I couldn't help but grin at her. She must be missing my touch more than ever, and this made me feel bad for restricting our physical interaction together.

"So, what kind of things are you going to make me to try on?" Things? Did she just describe clothes as things? Oh, this was Bella, she never did like clothes shopping. But now I know what she'd tolerate it, because of me.

"A bit of everything !" I chimed and giggled as I watched her groaned in disapproval. I could even feel the vibration that was radiating through my hand from the groan. I withdrew my hand, and instantly heard a sigh from her. I know that sigh, the sigh of missing someone's touch. In this case, it was my touch. I sighed as well as I turned to face the road. To my surprise, since I didn't even pay any attention to the future at the moment, the traffic seemed to cease. I sped the car towards the mall, and a couple of minutes after my Porsche was already parked beautiful next to a rather old car, which of course made my car stood out even more. I didn't like to show off, but this parking was nearer to the entrance.

"Do I have to?" I heard her murmuring under her breath, and I couldn't stop but laugh. I opened the car door and got out, and she was still in the car debating whether she should just steal the Porsche and race me home. I chuckled at the images flashed through my mind, and by a second I was already standing beside her with the passenger door open.

"Bella dear, even though my Porsche is capable of speeding and what's not, I'd doubt that you could get away from shopping with me." She pouted then and got out of the car. I giggled and leant up on my toes to place a quick kiss on her lips. When I pulled away, she pouted some more which got me to giggle again.

"You're unbelievable." She muttered and sighed. I grinned up at her, and I could see that she was smiling too. I linked our arms together and pulled her towards the mall, of course people would be staring at us by now, not because of the little kiss that I gave her. Some might think that we were sisters, which we were, technically. Some might think that we were lovers, and I think that we were. Others might think that it was hot to see two hot girls being all lovey dovey together, which I didn't exactly care.

"You agreed to shop with me, remember?" I asked, nudging her side with my elbow with a light giggle. Now everyone was staring at us. I didn't care, they all could stare if they wanted, but no one was going to take Bella away from me, unless it was Edward.

"Yeah, because I couldn't refuse spending more time with you, even though it's shopping, urgh." And I laughed again. I thought that having spent time shopping with me, Bella had grown used of it. It looked like she didn't.

"Would you prefer to do something else?" I turned to her, and she was already looking at me when I had asked her that. Was she looking at me the whole time? Then her eyes sparkled, like she had just seen something that she liked, or even loved.

"Really? Can we go home?" Well, not quite exactly what I was expecting her to ask.

"Bella…" I whined, already pursing my lips out into a pout.

"Alright, alright. We shop until…I can't quite say until we drop since we're not going to drop, I guess we can shop until the stores kick us out."

"Yes, I mean…no, absolutely not." Nice save.

"I'd doubt that they would kick us out Bella." Funny how all of this talk seemed to be so long, and by the time that we got to the entrance, it was like we were the super hot models except I was well short, but everyone was staring at us with the mouths dropped wide, wide open.

"Wow." Bella had seemed to forget about our previous conversation, as she faintly whispered the word to me. I giggled at her and turned to look at everyone. I saw one, okay maybe dozens, guys staring my way. My lips broke into a flirty grin as I winked playfully at them. In that instant, I could hear everyone's heartbeat quickened like a group of horses galloping.

"Was that really necessary Alice?" I could pin out the disapproval and jealousy tone in her voice, and I smiled knowing that this little display had gotten her to be a teeny bit mad at me.

"Well, they're staring, at least give them something that they want to look at." Little did I know, Bella was more of a flirtatious vampire. I didn't see it coming, honestly I didn't. Bella had slipped out of my arm, walked straight up to a rather good-looking bystander, and quickly kissed him on the cheek. Then she leaned up to him, and murmured something that got his face turned as red as a tomato. Even my vision didn't help me out with what was going to happen once she had slipped out of my grasp.

She then turned back to me, grinned, and walked straight to one of the shoes stores, leaving me there with my mouth slightly hanging open, and my eyes were wide. She didn't just do what I thought she just did, unless my eyes were betraying me. I looked back at the man, and I could still see that his face was red. The sight got me to giggle, somehow making all the boys sigh contently after. Okay, my giggle sounded like an angel's giggle, but I was far more than an angel. I quickly followed Bella into the shoes store, and already found her looking through all the sneakers that they had on the shelves. All these sneakers, tennis shoes, let's just say boyish shoes, they were so her. It would be hard to get her into wearing heels, even though I knew it might not work. I saw her taking down a pair of white with a simple floral patterns sneaker, and I went over to her just because I wanted to be close to her. I wrapped a hand around her stomach, pulling her close to me, while my other hand rested on her shoulder. My chin was resting on top of that hand, although I had my face nuzzling against her neck, breathing more into her scent.

"You're going to get that?" I didn't really care if she was going to get it or not, having her in my arms felt like heaven.

"I'm not too sure." That didn't sound like she wasn't sure, especially when her tone gave her away. Perhaps it was the close intimacy that we were in, or perhaps that she was embarrassed because she knew that everyone was looking at us. Come on, the show was pretty much over now, or was it?

"If you're not sure, do you want to try on some heels?"

"Don't like heels." Now that was a statement, although I already knew that she didn't like heels. I giggled, letting my icy breath running down her neck, and I felt her shiver against me. Of course she'd shiver too if she was still human, since my breath and touches were like ice against her flaming human skin. But to know that Edward wasn't the one that could make her shiver like this for a long time now, this made me happy.

"I'm not going to force you to buy them, I just want to see you in them." And fantasize what you will do to me with them when you actually going to get a pair. Well, that wasn't much a dirty as a thought. I normally didn't really go for the kinky stuff, but when it came down to Bella, all those restrictions were going down the drain.

"What's the point?" Her tone was slightly irritated, and I couldn't help but sigh, and that got her to shiver once again.

"You look lovely in heels dear."

"Really? Or are you only saying that because you love me?" She tilted her head to the side, and looked back at me with an amused smile. I giggled at her and placed a soft, lingering kiss on her neck before pulling away.

"Both." I smiled as I grabbed her hand, and pulled her away from the sneakers section, and towards the heels section. Shoes shopping was always wonderful, especially when Bella was going to try some of the sexy heels I'd give her later on.
