Chapter 4- Plan? What plan?
BPOV
"Excuse me? What did you say? I think I miss heard you…." I trailed off uncertain. He was starting to get to me, I did heard her wrong, I'm sure of it.
"I said,
let's talk about Edward." Alice replied slowly, analyzing my
face. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. This isn't
good.
"Um……….. He has nice hair………..he always dresses nice……he doesn't try and look down my shirt when I go by……and he seems very polite." What did she want me to say? It's her brother for god's sake! I can't exactly tell her I'm in love with every single thing Edward does.
"We both know that's not what I meant," Alice shook her head before grabbing my wrist and leading me into Louis Vuitton store. "Really. I think you like him. And you should go with that feeling. Oh this is adorable for you!" Alice held up a tiny white with purple stripes bikini up against me.
"Hello Miss Cullen! It's so nice to see you again!" A very exicted employee came up, and greeted Alice, beaming.
"Thanks Gavin." Alice replied. Turning back to me she handed me the bathing suit.
"Thanks, but I don't usually wear bikini's and that's way to much. And I'm not in love with Edward." I said firmly.
"I never said you were….." Alice looked at me triumphantly. I realized a second to late that I shouldn't have said that much.
"Go try this on." She instructed as she pushed my towards the dressing rooms. I followed the employee into one of the many stalls, him eyeing my as if to say 'hun this is for serious people, not people on a dare' but left soon after.
"Alice, I think it's too small." I told her as I came out of the dressing room, tugging at the corners of the bathing suit, if you could call it that. Alice was on her phone and when she caught sight of me said something I didn't catch and hung up.
"No! That's great!" She said, walking over to me.
"Alice, it's a two hundred and twenty dollars," I whispered, embarrassed by the number and that I even tried it on.
"Oh don't worry about it, I've got it covered. I got these for you too. And these for myself." Alice held up a dark blue halter dress for me, and another one that was yellow and had spaghetti straps that flowed out at the bottom. Both were very pretty, but way to much.
"Alice please don't." I argued with her, as she held up hers. One was a blue halter dress that stopped right after her thighs, another was a long flowing red one, and of course, a bright pink striped yellow bikini.
"Don't worry. Now I'll pay and then I'm sure your starving, we'll get some pizza and then talk some more." Alice skipped off to pay for our things, and I sat there in agony, hoping uselessly, that Alice would have a change of heart.
Five minutes later Alice was back, holding four large shopping bags.
"Alice we only had a couple things, how did you fill up four shopping bags?"
"Well I was about to pay when I saw these earrings that would go perfectly with your dresses, so I got those. And then these shoes, and another shirt, and a bathing suit cover up. Then I got a couple things for myself….."Alice trailed off shrugging. She handed me a bag, and I held it up high, it was heavy.
"Let's go eat!" Alice said and linked her arm through mine as she led me to the closest restaurant.
Once we were settled in at Bertuccia's, Alice rounded on me.
"Now Bella, I think of you as a sister, so we can share anything, and I think you like my brother." Alice leaned back in her seat and crossed her arms. I closed my eyes, could I really trust her? Would she turn on me? Just like everybody else? And I did barely know her, but yet she already thought of me as a sister?
"Bella, food." I opened my eyes and saw my small pizza sitting in front of me. I quickly took a slice and stuffed it into my mouth, hoping Alice had forgotten her accusation.
"You sure you don't want a slice? It's really good." I asked her. She shook her head.
"I want you to answer my question."
"It wasn't a question, more like a statement." I said casually.
"Bella….." Whined Alice.
"Alice, I really like you, your really nice. I like your whole family. I really like your brothers. And Edward is really nice." I hoped she would catch on, it was much easier then actually saying out loud, that I had a crush on the un-dateable Edward Cullen.
"Okay. Check Please." Alice called to the waiter as I finished that last slice of pizza. The waiter bought over the check and Alice grabbed it before I even had my hand up.
"I'll take care of this." Alice said dismissively as she handed the waiter her credit card without a glance at the bill.
"Alice please?"
"No."
"Well then."
"Yup."
"Let's go."
"Okay. This is so much fun, Bella! It's so nice to finally have someone besides Rose to shop with!" Alice said giving me a hug. I hugged her back.
"Thanks. Your great too, Alice." I laughed.
We went back to the car talking about music, movies, anything that came to mind.
"Favorite movie?" Alice asked me.
"Um……Pride And Prejudice. You?"
"Most likely Mean Girls. Or maybe Confessions Of a Shopaholic….there's so many." Alice turned down the music.
"Oh." I had never seen either of those movies.
"You ever seen them?" She asked me.
"No."
"Well how about tomorrow you come over to my house and we watch them? We can make it a sleepover!" Alice said smiling widely at me. She turned onto my drive and got out.
"I'll come in for a bit, make sure you know what your wearing, that sort of thing." She took all the bags herself and followed me up to the house, into my room.
"Now, let me see you closet." Alice said placing the bags on my bed and turning too look around my room.
"This is it," I turned her around to look at me sliding closet doors. She opened them up and looked from side to side.
"Do you have another one?" She asked me innocently.
"No." Should I? Wasn't one normal?
"Shoes? Makeup?" She asked me.
"Shoes are on the floor of the closet, and makeup is in the box on the top shelf. I usually only wear it on special occasions, and such." I told her.
"Okay, well I'm limited but this will work." Alice started pulling out my shoes and makeup making faces as she went.
"You can wear the yellow sundress, with these white shoes, and these earring, and I'll do your makeup and hair, is that okay?" Alice asked me.
"Yeah. That's fine." I lied.
"Okay, put this on." Alice shoved the dress towards me and I looked around hesitantly. Was I suppose to get dressed in front of her. Alice rolled her eyes and came over. She grabbed the edges of my shirt and ripped up, my shirt was off.
1 minutes later I was dressed in the sundress with the white flip flops on my feet.
"Hair!" Alice led me to the bathroom at the same time I heard the front door open up.
"Hold on." I told Alice as I skipped down the stairs to see Charlie.
"Hey dad." I greeted him as I took out the pasta from the pan and poured sauce on it. "Dinners ready."
"Hey Bells. You look nice. You going out tonight?" He said as he shrugged out of his jacket.
"Thanks. Mike Newton is throwing a party and I'm going." I told him as Alice came down the stairs. "Dad, this is Alice Cullen."
"Hi Mr. Swan." Alice extended her hand and gave him a dazzling smile.
"Hi Alice, you can call me Charlie." Charlie shook her hand. "You too going to be taking up the bathroom?"
"Yea-" Alice cut me off.
"Not for more then twenty minutes." She smiled again.
"Okay." Charlie grunted and then started eating as Alice led me back up the stairs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bella you look beautiful!" Alice said exactly twenty minutes later. She had loose-curled my hair, put light green eye shadow on with blush, mascara, and light pink lip gloss.
"Thank you so much, Alice! I love it! I should hire you!" I joked as I looked at myself again. Alice was a miracle worker.
"Don't worry, you'll be having this done a lot." She laughed.
"Well it's six forty five. I better go. I'll swing by and pick you up at seven. 'Kay?" Alice said as I walked her to the door.
"Oh, and I have a plan about him, you know." Plan? A plan that involves Edward? I don't remember any plan.
"That' s fine. Thanks again." I gave Alice a hug, and shivered, and then shut the door. Going up to my room, I wrote to my mom telling her all about my day, then went down to say goodbye to Charlie, it was six fifty eight.
"You look beautiful, Bells." Charlie gave me a one armed hug.
"Thanks, bye dad!" I yelled as I ran out the door as I heard Alice knock. I opened the door and was surprised when I saw Edward casually leaning against the door frame.
"Hello Bella. You look stunning." Edward smiled, and my breathe caught in my throat.
"Thanks so do you. Well you look handsome." I stuttered, he was dressed in jeans, a light blue polo shirt, with the first button undone, looking down at me with that angel face.
"Shall we go?" He extended his hand and I took it, my heart accelerating faster then Alice's car. He opened the passenger door for me, and then came around the other side. This was going to be some car ride…….
