Chapter Sixteen – Little Brick House
"Bella, good morning." Esme greeted the girl as she entered the kitchen right behind Alice. "Alice said you'd be by for breakfast so we thought we'd make you a little something."
Bella glanced over at the large dining room table and noticed a plate set up for herself. "Oh, you really didn't have too."
"We know that." Carlisle smiled and gestured for Bella to take a seat. "However we can't have you starving the whole day."
"This is why you told me to skip breakfast this morning?" Her brown eyes teased her girlfriend.
"It's the least we can do." Esme chimed in and poured Bella freshly squeezed orange juice.
"This is very kind of you, thank you." She sat down and watched as Alice grabbed the glass of juice from Esme and place it in front of her.
"While you eat, I'm going to hop in the shower quickly." Alice winked and kissed Bella on the forehead before the human had time to argue.
Bella silently huffed at the fact that her girlfriend left her all alone with the parents for the very first time. She caught the soft glances of Carlisle and Esme and smiled back lightly before glancing down at her empty plate.
"So, I hear you're hanging out with the La Push crowd this afternoon." Carlisle walked over to her and placed French toast on her plate. "Nice people."
Frowning, Bella bit her lip. "Not according to the others."
Esme laughed softly and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Our children are still young all things considered. Everything is about competition to them. Granted there is a treaty involved it doesn't mean they don't have nice elders that are more than friendly when we run into them in Forks."
Bella grinned softly. "That's really nice to hear."
"What do you do while you're there?" Carlisle asked curiously and finished making the rest of the French toast, placing it on an empty plate beside Bella.
"Hang out mostly. Jake and I sometimes explore the woods on quads and at night we always build a bon fire. Sometimes on the beach but mainly in his backyard." She shrugged before taking a bite of the syrupy breakfast. "Wow," she swallowed and pointed to her food with her fork, "this is really good."
"Esme likes to enter different cooking contests. We do have all the time in the world, you know." Carlisle winked and placed his arm around his wife's waist. "You have fun with your friends tonight. We'll let you eat in private."
Bella smiled gratefully and decided the food was too good to go to waste. By the time she was done, she noticed Alice was still not downstairs from her shower so she decided to clean up after herself and did the dishes by hand to help the time go by slower. Bella found that she loved spending the small amount of moments at the Cullen household. Though she mostly spent the afternoons after school in Alice's bedroom, a part of her felt like the place could be home.
Wiping her hands on the dishtowel, she made her way into the large living room and found Edward reading quietly in the very corner by the large glass windows. "Hey." She stood close to him and smiled when he glanced up, his golden eyes lighting up slightly.
"Hey yourself." He sat up straighter and placed his book down beside him.
"Your head is always in a book when I see you." Bella pointed up and picked up the worn book. "Wuthering Heights?" She raised a surprise eyebrow and settled onto the arm of the chair, thumbing through it. "I read this last year for school."
Edward smiled and scratched his cheek. "Did you like it?"
"Who wouldn't like Wuthering Heights?" She asked in disbelief.
"My sister." He glanced up towards the second floor. "Alice does a lot of things in her spare time but reading really isn't one of them."
"Oh." Bella nodded slowly and slid the book back where she picked it up from. "Well I guess some of us just like to read more than others." She stood up and made her way over to the couch and wasn't aware of Edward following her until she sat down and he joined her. "So what are your plans for today?"
"Reading." Edward cracked a smile. "I don't know, I was thinking of writing some music today."
Bella nodded and rubbed her hands together. "I'll have to ask Alice how she plans on spending her time."
Edward's laugh was refreshing to say the least. "Probably mope around until it's time to see you again."
Bella's brown eyes sparkled and she glanced up towards the second floor. "I like that," she whispered and grinned, "I'll see you later Edward." She was briefly aware of his eyes on her while she made her way up the stairs but quickly forgot about it when she heard soft humming coming from behind Alice's bedroom door. "Ali?" She knocked and was immediately faced with her smiling girlfriend.
"Took you long enough!" Alice giggled and pulled Bella into her room, closing the door behind her.
"You said you were going to have a quick shower." Bella furrowed her eyebrows, slightly confused.
"Exactly. I took longer than a quick shower." Alice teased and turned on her heel to grab her dark fashionable denim jacket.
"So you wanted me to come here looking for you?" The human raised an eyebrow and eyed her girlfriend up carefully.
Alice shrugged. "Knowing you were in the shower longer than you said you'd be, I'd definitely be curious as to what was more important with your time than me." She smugly smiled and winked, buttoning up her jacket.
"You're horrible." Bella finally smiled and grabbed Alice's arm, pulling her into her form. Their lips met in a sweet kiss, never deepening. Bella's eyes opened to find the vampire's to be slightly darker. "I love your eyes."
Alice pulled back completely and tugged Bella towards the large opened windows at the end of her room. "And I love yours." She commented softly. "Hang on to me, kay?"
It was only on instinct that she hung onto to Alice tightly because Bella found herself nearly dangling out of a window two stories high. However since the back of the house was on more of a slant, the drop was a lot deeper. "What the fuck, Alice." She hissed and didn't even have a chance to react when she heard a sharp giggle and soon she was clutched onto Alice tightly while they dropped straight down.
All of the air had been knocked out of lungs before she even realized that Alice hit the ground so lightly, she barely felt a jolt of any kind. "I didn't even have to ask if you trusted me."
"Jerk!" Bella fought her way out of her girlfriend's arms and bent over, hands on her knees. "That was a jerk move."
"Really?" Alice tilted her head to the side and smiled softly when Bella nodded. "Can it at least be a romantic jerk move?"
She couldn't even hide her smile at that question. Bella stood up straight and ran a hand through her hair. "If you can give me a reason as to why that'd be described as romantic."
Alice gently grabbed the warm human's hands and stepped closer. She pressed her forehead against Bella's, "because I took your breath away," she whispered.
Bella looked down blushing slightly. "You always take my breath away and that doesn't include yanking me out of the window."
"I just thought I'd try a different approach." Alice said softly, she was starting to fear that Bella was truly upset with her.
Bella took notice in the worry behind the golden eyes and shook her head. "It worked." She smirked and bit her lip. "You succeeded, you took my breath away and it was romantic."
"You're just saying that." The vampire pouted, her lips drooping perfectly.
"No, I'm not." Bella whispered and brought their lips together once again, enjoying the softness of it all. "So are you going to tell me where we're going?" She asked as Alice started walking back further into the woods, allowing Bella to keep her normal pace.
"I have something to show you." Alice grinned in reply and scooped Bella up in her arms bridal style. "You may want to hang on tight. If we walk at your human pace, we'll make it there in an hour and I don't think we have time to spare."
Bella visibly swallowed. It was one thing to be in the car while the short haired pixie was driving but she'd never experienced the fastness of vampires – ever. She wasn't sure if or how her stomach could handle it. "Alice?"
"Trust me Bell." Alice kissed Bella lightly before she took off at a ridiculous speed towards the blackness of the woods.
Bella tucked her head in to her girlfriend neck while she held on for her life, her hands digging into the hard flesh of the girl running. Her mind could barely keep up with her physically but she dared to open her eyes to check her surroundings. Unfortunately they were going too fast to even make out a tree. Quickly closing her eyes again she gripped onto Alice even tighter and thanked whoever she could, that the girl was unbreakable.
"My sweet Bell," Alice said in a soft voice. She had stopped but found that her human was still clinging to her in a death grip. "Bella, I've stopped."
Bella groaned and shook her head, not wanting to open her eyes. "I think you left me back at the house."
Alice bit her lip and effortlessly carried Bella towards her destination. They were standing in front of a small brick house covered in vines and roses.
The brunette human was starting to feel better as her stomach caught up with her. But the smell of Alice's cool skin was too delicious to pull away from. She noted that the girl always smelled like fresh air after it rained or the cool air when snow was about to fall. She always wondered why those were her two favourite elements and now she knew why.
Alice couldn't help but grin at the pictures flying through Bella's head. "I think you're feeling a little better."
Bella snickered and let go of her grip slightly but never let go completely. She grazed her nose against Alice's throat and inhaled deeply. Her feet hit the firm ground and placed a soft, wet kiss on the irresistible skin before pulling back. She blinked a few times and finally took in her surroundings. "Where are we?" She asked in awe.
"Esme built this place from scratch a long time ago," the vampire smiled fondly, "it was a wedding gift for Emmett and Rosalie but they didn't like being so detached from the family."
"Wow." Bella let go of her girlfriend and stepped forward, her fingers running over the roughness of the brick walls. "I love it."
Alice grinned and dug out a key from her pocket and placed it in Bella's hand. "Go ahead and open the door."
Bella's eyes lit up and she quickly got to work. The key slid into the slot easily and she pushed open the door. It was small but the perfect size for two people. A fireplace occupied the right wall while a white elegant old century bed was placed opposite of it. There was a small bathroom at the end and a small kitchenette was right at the entrance. The walls were lined with bookshelves and a small flat panel TV was set up by the fireplace. "This is so cute."
Alice grinned and wrapped her arms around Bella's waist, her chin placed on her shoulder. "I come here a lot after I hunt." She admitted and danced lightly on her feet towards the cupboards. "I actually grabbed a few of your favourite snacks to store in here."
Bella raised an eyebrow as Alice showed her a couple boxes of crackers and cookies. "For me?"
"Well I can't very well eat them." She teased, her golden eyes shimmering lightly. "I just thought maybe if you ever wanted to, you could wait for me here sometimes. There are drinks in the fridge, foods you can actually cook, there is satellite, the plumbing works and-" the vampire was cut off by a pair of warm lips against her own. Fingers ran through her short hair and the kiss deepened.
Bella heard a low moan escape the other girl's throat and felt herself be pushed up against the small counter. She, in turn, mirrored the moan and parted her lips, allowing whatever access Alice was seeking. Tongues touched and the couple felt their reality world slip away within a matter of seconds.
Alice effortlessly picked up Bella, allowing the girl to wrap her legs around her waist, and carried her towards the bed. They couldn't be bothered by separating in any way, so their kiss remained intact while they shifted on the bed more comfortably. Alice ran her left hand down Bella's right side and dipped her fingers under the hem of the shirt. When she felt the human shiver, she grinned and broke the kiss. "I felt that shiver." She whispered huskily.
Bella blinked and licked her lips, sucking the bottom one between her teeth briefly before catching Alice off guard and flipping them over so she was staring down at dark golden eyes. "Did you feel that?" She brushed her lips against her girlfriend's and once again they got lost in a series of hot and wet kisses.
Alice shifted under the light weight of Bella and gasped when she felt a leg fall between her own. She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on anything but the constant beating against her chest. When Bella broke the kiss and moved her warm lips down her jaw, she grasped long brown hair and hissed when teeth scraped against her pulse point. "Bella," she cried softly as her hips moved on their own, trying to relieve the sudden acute ache between her legs.
Lifting her head from Alice's neck, Bella swallowed and laid her forehead against the vampire's, taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry." She said shakily but groaned and dropped her lips to a perfect ear when hips moved persistently against her own. "Fuck." She barely whispered but it wasn't lost on her girlfriend. Her head was tugged back so lips could be claimed again.
Whimpers were passed between the couple and hands started to roam with more bravery. Cold hands were mapping out the skin of a warm back while warm hands gripped hips, tugging them impossibly closer.
Somewhere in the back of Alice's head, she knew things were possibly progressing too quickly. Try as she might though, she couldn't stop Bella from exploring her in whatever fashion she desired. She closed her eyes once again and allowed herself to be whisked away into a warm bubble, where warm hands made her feel alive, where lips kissing her made her feel like she could live forever. A tongue moved passed her lips as she felt Bella's fingers moved across her marble skin and dip slightly into the waist of her skinny jeans. She purred deep in her throat and arched her hips, a sudden blast of pictures formulating in her mind.
Bella wasn't just touching her. She was imagining all the ways she wanted to touch Alice. She was picturing the sounds, the shivers, the little whimpers all at once and the short haired girl was starting to feel it everywhere. "Fu-" the word died off when she felt her fangs drop and she tossed her head back. Bella was making her feel so much - too much yet not enough all at the same time.
Bella was too far gone to even realize that she could potentially be in danger. She didn't want to stop, she didn't want to stop tasting the sweetness of Alice's skin or hearing the deep purrs coming from the girl beneath her. Her nimble fingers circled the button on the pair of jeans and without warning; she cupped Alice between her legs through the rough denim. She could practically feel the pulsing against her fingers and moaned roughly, imagining what it'd be like to feel her fingers slid against the slick skin.
Alice cried out and felt like her body was instantly lit on fire. She could feel her blood boiling and venom pounding through her veins. Her eyes had immediately turned black but she couldn't push the human away. She clutched at the fragile girl and inhaled deeply, visions of Bella's hand against her sensitive skin was proving to be more demanding. They crossed a line and both of them knew it, their bodies were too far gone to stop.
Bella winced at Alice's grip on her but continued to press against her intimately. She kissed her way towards a perfect ear once again and tugged on it with her teeth.
"Fuck Bella." Alice hissed and finally managed to gain some self-control. She felt her heart pounding against her chest, it was beating so steady but she was too focused on trying to make sure Bella was in no immediate danger. When she looked at the girl above her, brown messy hair cascading over her shoulders and smouldering brown eyes staring back down at her as they both panted, she didn't feel like tasting the human's blood. She didn't want to sink her teeth into the delicate neck and drink. She wanted to explore her. "You have to stop-" she gasped when she felt the button on her jeans pop and a hand slide over her underwear, "-you h-have to slow your imagination down."
Bella shook her head and whimpered, lowering her hand slightly, fingertips dancing over wet cotton. "I want you too much. I can't help it." She briefly took in Alice's black eyes and the fangs that were snaring that luscious lower lip between them. Just as she was about to ask if everything was okay, she felt herself on her back and a sexy smirk occupying the vampire's flawless face.
"I can't help it either." Was all Alice said before she straddled lithe hips and discarded her jacket and top, leaving her exposed in her bra.
Bella swallowed when the reality of the situation hit her like a ton of bricks. Alice was definitely preying on her but not in a way that would make her go running for the hills. She shakily placed her hands on Alice's thighs and slowly slid them up to the firm, smooth pale stomach. The cool skin seemed to have rippled with warmth underneath her touch and she gasped quietly. Trying to fulfill her girlfriend's request, she tried not to think about her next step before acting on it. Instead she sat up and began placing hot kisses between the valley of Alice's breasts. She felt more confident as hands grasped her hair, nipping at small patches of skin. She groaned softly against the sweet flesh when Alice began to move her hips slowly. Stopping her actions for a moment, she looked up and cupped her girlfriend's cheek, bringing dark eyes to meet her own. "Are you sure?"
Alice's heart literally fluttered at the soft, concerned question before nodding her head. "Are you?" She barely whispered back.
Bella smiled and brought their lips together in a melting kiss. She grabbed one of Alice's hands and slid it up under her own shirt. She chuckled throatily when her girlfriend gasped as one of her breasts was being palmed gently.
Both girls found themselves in a slow undressing dance as articles of clothing were scattered along the hardwood floor across the room. Somewhere during that time, Alice found herself on her back, surprised at how cool the sheets felt against her bare skin. Her body arched as lips scattered kisses everywhere down her neck and across her shoulders, slowly making their way down her chest. A moan bubbled from her lips as she felt a warm tongue gently swirl around her nipple. "Oh Bella," Alice tangled her hands into brown locks, pulling the girl's face up to her own. Dark golden eyes sparkled with lust as they took a moment to take in the redness of Bella's flushed skin. Their breathing was coming in short pants, trying to regain some sort of control.
Bella took the opportunity to glance between their bodies. The paleness of Alice's skin was somewhat covered in a flush of its own as well as a fine sheen of sweat. The girl was more than beautiful, she had decided. Beautiful wouldn't even begin to describe what Alice was. Perfection wouldn't even touch her in fact. "Ali," she breathed so softly, straddling the girl. Her fingers traced patterns around the marble skin, between breasts and under them. "You are beyond gorgeous, you know that?"
Alice closed her eyes as she felt something other than lust course through her body. She held onto lithe hips and rubbed the smooth skin there with the pads of her thumbs. "Say it, Bella." She managed to whisper.
Her body slid down so that she was lying lengthwise against her girlfriend, shivering in pleasure at the full naked contact. Bella closed her eyes, one hand gripping Alice's hip and the other holding her up slightly. "I love you." She whispered so quietly, scared of the intense environment they had created.
Alice inhaled sharply, her heart was, without a doubt, beating steadily, skipping at the three words her beautiful human had just said. Threading her thin fingers through brown locks, she pressed their mouths together gently and whispered "I love you too" before the couple fell back into their own little world.
