Chapter Six – Tailgate
Bella's eyes twitched in the back of her head as she felt the sleepiness wear off. She could sense that Sunday morning had approached but refused to open her eyes. Groaning, she rolled over and threw a pillow over her head, wanting to fall back into a deep sleep where boys would stop falling for her.
"It's nine in the morning and I've been sitting here since seven, it's time to get up." A familiar soft voice said from the other side of Bella's room.
The brunette shot up from her bed and blinked twice before she made out Alice sitting on her windowsill. "What the heck?" She ran her fingers through her hair, catching a few knots along the way. "How'd you get in here?"
"Window." Alice shrugged and looked out of it, watching the clouds start to gather even more. "You really shouldn't leave it wide open Bella, psychos could come in and kidnap you."
Bella snickered and got out of bed, revealing her black boy shorts and skinny top to the vampire. "Kinda like you?"
"Oh I'm not kidnapping you," Alice glanced away quickly, holding her breath again as Bella walked around her room to find clothes to throw on.
"So you admit you're a psycho?" Bella raised an eyebrow and stopped to look at the other girl, waiting for an answer.
"A rather cute one, don't you think?" Alice hopped off the windowsill and grinned, wiggling her eyebrows. "Will you hurry up and get ready? I can't wait to get you into some other clothes."
Bella stared at the vampire for a moment and noticed the golden eyes had darkened slightly. The pixie's focused gaze was slowly scanning her legs up and down before they traced up her torso and towards her neck, licking her lips.
"Into clothes?" Bella teased coyly before posing a little against her closed door. "I'd say you just want to get me out of them."
"Yeah." The petite girl replied absentmindedly then she regained focus, clearly confused as to why the brunette had suddenly burst into laughter. "Wait, what? What did you say?"
"I'm going to go have a quick shower." Bella smirked and grabbed towel. "Try not to drool on my bed too much."
Alice's eyebrows shot up high on her forehead in an adorable confused look but before she had a chance to ask what Bella had meant, she found herself alone in the bedroom.
It didn't take long before the two girls were out of the house and on their way to Port Angeles. The original plan was to head to Seattle but Charlie didn't like that idea too much. Alice didn't feel like losing cool points so she changed her plans and took Bella to the shops in Port Angeles instead.
"Just a couple of skirts Bella, they won't kill you." Alice pouted when Bella refused to try on anything that showed a large part of her skin.
"Alice," she groaned when golden eyes turned sad and a pout formed on a cute perfect small mouth. "Fine." She couldn't deny the girl anything.
The short haired girl clapped excitedly and threw a few of her favourites she picked out, onto Bella's chair in the change room. "Don't take too long in spite of me," she stuck her tongue out and pulled the curtain closed.
Bella sighed and stripped down before pulling a black skirt on. It was quite short and she squinted her eyes at her own reflection before muttering, "you owe me," to herself.
"Please, they aren't that short." Alice's angelic voice said from behind the thin clothed barrier. "Can I see?"
Bella pulled back the curtain and stood there unenthused, glaring at the short haired girl. "I look ridiculous."
"You look sexy." Alice practically foamed at the mouth, stepping closer to the human. She was only inches away from Bella when her cold fingers traced over the zipper on the skirt then along the skin of the girl's side. A vision of herself pushing Bella against the change room mirror hit her like a ton of bricks and she jumped back, her breathing slightly laboured.
Bella pretty much felt the same way when cool fingers pressed against her side. She wanted the girl to push her into the room and have her way with her.
"I uh, I think you should buy that one and let's get out of here." Alice swallowed thickly, her golden eyes darting everywhere else but the girl in front of her.
"You have three more here for me to try on!"Bella whispered, not trusting her voice enough to talk.
"Yeah and the first one's a charm. Come on, my treat." Alice said in a rush, closing the curtain quickly and stepping away from the human as fast as possible. The vision she just had may not have been from her own mind but she knew it was a possibility at that point, that she'd make it real.
The rest of the day had pretty much followed the same way. Alice was surprised that she hadn't found herself pinning the brunette against any mirrors yet, given the numerous of visions she'd seen. She was still trying to figure that all out.
Had Bella Swan messed up her 'see the future' power? It all seemed jumbled up but when she saw these visions, they weren't like her own. They weren't fleeting pictures in her head that she could piece together. She could actually feel and smell everything in them lately. Her own visions didn't have that same affect.
"So ..." Bella swung her bags of newly bought stuff, compliments of Alice, back and forth while walking along the boardwalk. "Where to?"
"I should get you home." Alice smiled softly. "We're heading out first thing in the morning anyway."
Bella forgot about the absence of The Cullen family for the next couple of days. "Do you have to go?"
Alice nodded but remained smiling. "I promise we'll be back before you know it Bells."
"Where are you going anyway?" The brunette slowed the walk down when they neared the spot where her truck was parked.
"Camping. Tradition is customary with us and every time we see good weather we like to take advantage. Carlisle insists actually." She shrugged yet hating to lie to the girl immensely. She had no other choice. Whenever the sun would hit a place they were staying, even in rare times, the family would take off and use that time to hunt.
"It just sucks. I'll have to sit in biology by myself." Bella sighed heavily.
The petite girl stopped right in front of Bella's truck, her hand reaching for the other girl's. "I'm going to miss you too, you know." She stated honestly.
"Yeah?" Bella breathed and swore Alice stepped closer to her. She imagined what it'd feel like to have that body pressed up tightly against her own.
A moaned escaped Alice's throat before she could stop herself from living the vision and pressing Bella's body up against the tailgate of the red truck.
Bella gasped and dropped her bags, her hands instantly finding purchase on strong lithe hips of the other girl.
Alice inhaled sharply, her eyes blinked slowly and she knew what was about to happen. "I'm going to really miss you," she whispered lowly and wasn't even sure if Bella had heard her or not.
Hot breath mixed with cold breath, golden eyes mixed with brown, fingers tangled in black and brown hair. Bella's face was slightly flushed and Alice's features relaxed somewhat.
Slowly, her body was pressing tightly against Bella's and her mouth was instantly covered by warm smooth lips. The kiss was anything but light.
Bella shivered at the coolness of Alice's lips but it didn't stop her fingers from digging into marble flesh, pulling Alice impossibly closer as the kiss deepened. Tongues danced passionately yet their hands remained still.
Moans were drowned in deep sighs. Alice couldn't help herself anymore. She just kept seeing herself going further and further by the second. She could see, feel, smell Bella's need and want for her.
A small burning sensation started slowly in the back of Alice's throat as she heard the blood pulsing harder in the brunette's body. She could almost taste what her blood would be like and she knew the smell was nothing but pure arousal. Venom threatened to fill her mouth slowly and she remembered that Bella was human.
Bella was someone she didn't want to see hurt in any way possible.
"My sweet Bella," she purred, ripping her mouth away from the other girl's, which earned her a low whine of protest. "You have no idea what you're doing to me." Her dark golden gaze was so evident in the dark but for some reason she could tell it didn't bother Bella.
Bella couldn't speak; she was too entranced by the beauty in front of her. When she pictured herself against her truck with Alice kissing her, she didn't actually think it'd come true. She took in a deep breath when she felt the tip of her pixie's nose drag slowly across her jaw and down her neck, stopping to lick her pulse point lightly just once.
Lips pressed against the human's ear, "what I'd give to taste you Bella," came the unusual husky voice of the vampire. She ran her tongue over her own teeth, feeling her fangs drop slightly before she pulled back, her forehead pressed against a heavy breathing Bella. "What are you doing to me?" She groaned when she saw herself clutching Bella's jean covered ass in her hands and claiming her mouth in a deeper kiss.
Alice quickly shook her head knowing she had to regain control. She didn't trust herself when everything was so out of sorts with her visions. Placing one last kiss on Bella's lips, she stepped back.
The human was blinking heavily, her cheeks were red and chest was heaving. "I'm so sorry." She stuttered, trying to breathe normally.
"For what?" Alice resisted the urge to touch the brunette again, knowing she was already testing her resolve as it was.
"I don't know what came over me." Bella rubbed her face, wishing she had something cold to drink.
"I'm not sorry Bell." The short haired girl whispered and picked up Bella's discarded bags, knowing it'd be something to keep her hands from reaching out and touching the human. "That was the most incredible kiss of my life."
Bella smiled and bit her lip. "Really?" She watched the vampire nod and picked at her nails. "So I was right, you would've rather seen me out of clothes than in them."
Alice's eyes widened and darkened just a smidge more. "Definitely." There was no use in denying the truth, not after that heavy make out session.
The burning still remained in the back of the vampire's throat but she was thankful that it was easing off a bit. Placing Bella's bags into the truck, she moved to peel the brunette's body away from the tailgate, hoping beyond hope her mind would give her a rest.
A chance to cool her hormones.
Thankfully she found her mind at ease when Bella laced her warm digits with cold ones. "I would like to do this again sometime," the human smiled widely.
"I'll take you shopping anytime." Alice replied with a grin of her own.
"Well I was talking about the action against my tailgate." Bella laughed and let go of Alice, opening her passenger door for the petite girl.
"Oh." Alice's blush would've been evident if possible for her kind. "Maybe it can be arranged," she whispered and watched her beautiful human walk around to the driver's side.
"I'm going to need a cold shower, just to let you know." Bella laughed when she pulled up to The Cullen's mansion.
"You won't be alone." Alice muttered playfully and leaned towards the middle of the truck. "I need to make this one quick and fast, okay?" She whispered and was met with soft warm lips against her own.
Bella sighed when Alice pulled back, her bottom lip tucked between her perfect white teeth. "You're so beautiful Alice," she reached out and ran her hands through short hair before placing her lips against a smooth cool cheek. "Thank you for the wonderful day and memorable night."
"My pleasure." Alice replied huskily and opened the door, stepping out. "Wear the skirt Wednesday, I promise to give you loads of compliments."
Bella rolled her eyes but agreed anyway. "Good night Alice. Have fun camping."
"Night Bella." Alice shut the door and danced her way up to her front porch. She waved to a retreating red truck until the taillights vanished completely down the road.
She sighed wistfully when she walked through the front door.
"Did you get laid?" Emmett asked as he paused his video game on the big screen. "Oh man, you so did!" He laughed and was shushed by Rosalie.
"Edward's going to be so pissed," the blonde retorted in a disapproving manner. "You know he truly believes Bella's future is with him, right? You're breaking his poor dead heart Al."
"First, I didn't get laid." Alice commented towards her brother. "Secondly, Bella's future may belong to us, but I don't see Edward as a part of hers."
"You really didn't get laid?" Emmett almost sulked. "Were you afraid you'd kill her?"
"That's part of it," she answered honestly, "plus doing it against the back of her truck isn't exactly how I envision it."
Footsteps could be heard coming down the steps from the second floor and try as she might, Alice couldn't shake the remembrance of Bella's smooth warm fingers against her sides, making her shudder. Edward had stopped in his tracks, staring at her from the bottom of the landing.
"You just couldn't leave it alone." He hissed angrily, finding himself walking up to his sister. "I figured maybe you'd actually feel for me and understand what I'm going through. No, you had to go and shove yourself onto her."
"Why are you talking like that?" Alice spat out angrily. "I didn't force myself on her Edward and you know it. You're just bitter and angry that she's not showing the slightest interest in you. Can't say I blame her, you know? You're not exactly the happiest and easiest guy to be around."
"What is all this yelling about?" Esme came around the corner and stared at her two kids curiously.
"Alice yanked Edward's bride-to-be from right under his nose." Emmett commented with a big goofy grin.
"If you ask me, you're both wasting your time." Rosalie flung blonde hair over her shoulder. "She's a human being. She doesn't belong in our world and you both know it. Do you really think you'll be able to hold a steady relationship with her knowing you can't tell her about us?"
"Or bang her without wanting to tear her to pieces?" Emmett nodded but was pushed hard off the couch by Alice. "Ow!" He whined for dramatic effect.
"You're fighting over a girl?" Esme questioned softly. "A human girl?"
"She's not just human," Edward piped in, "she's different. I believe that because I can't hear her thoughts means I'm supposed to be connected to her somehow."
"Really Edward? If that's the case then it must be true for me too. She sets my visions all whacky!" Alice huffed and sat down on the couch. "It's like I have no control over them anymore and I'm starting to feel, smell, taste it all."
"Really?" Esme looked fascinated by her daughter's confession. "That really is interesting."
"Dude," Emmett wrapped a large arm around his brother's shoulder and pulled him close, "I hate to say it but give up man. You're wasting perfectly good time on a girl who clearly wants to be with Alice."
"You're all idiots!" Rosalie stomped her foot, causing Jasper and Carlisle to come down from the study. "She's a fucking human. She's out of the question okay? How can you possibly think it'll work?"
Alice turned to face the blonde. "I know it'll work, Rose."
"Oh yea? How?" Rosalie didn't look impressed.
"I've seen her," Alice nodded slowly, "she'll become one of us. She'll be a part of our family."
"Excuse me?" Carlisle frowned and stepped forward. "You're not actually thinking of turning this innocent human, are you Alice?"
"No!" Alice shot up from her spot on the couch. "I mean, maybe but not because it's our choice. I feel that in the future it'll be her choice. Not mine, not Edward's... but hers."
