"Port Angeles Bella? Or Olympia?" she asked me like it mattered.

"Your pick Alice." I said.

"Great!" she screamed as she slammed her foot onto the accelerator.

Oh dear lord what have I got myself into?

Chapter 26:

BPOV

As Alice sped through Forks and out of town, Edward took my hand in his as we sat together in the back seat of Alice's Porsche.

"Does Alice always drive like this?" I asked him in a quiet whisper. As I noticed the needle on the speedometer read 75mph.

He chuckled lightly and replied with an "Always." I scooted closer to him still holding his hand.

I leaned into him as he began to wrap his arms around my shoulders lightly and kissed the top of my head. As I inhaled his scent once again, I was yet again amazed at just how wonderful he smelt. It was even better than Jake's 'Fresh' smell.

"You smell so wonderful." I said aloud and instantly regretted it. I covered my mouth with my hand as soon as I realized what had happened.

Beside me Edward chuckled, "Thank you." He spoke in between taking breathes and laughing at me. Alice was on the verge of crashing as I saw a tear roll down her cheek because she was laughing so hard. I felt myself blush darker and darker as the laughing died down slowly.

"You smell nice too love." He replied and with that he brought on a whole other round of laughter. I tried not to appear so embarrassed this time and let out a fake little giggle - he seemed to like that - as he turned to place another kiss on my forehead.

"So where are we going Alice?" I asked her. She never did answer, Port Angeles or Olympia.

"Silly Bella." She giggled. "Why would we go to Port Angeles when we have just enough time to go to Olympia?" She stated once again as if it were as obvious as the sky being blue.

"Of course," I said as I turned to roll my eyes at Edward and his musical chuckle broke the silence of the car.

The rest of the car ride to Olympia was filled with jokes and small chatter, until finally we reached the parking lot - a very crowded one at that - on the outside of a HUGE shopping mall.

"Look out for a parking space, I'm sure there is definitely one in this isle." Alice said as she began her frantic search for an empty parking space.

"Look Alice!" I yelled at her once I spotted one not more than 5 seconds later, "right there Alice!" I screamed again.

She stopped her foot on the accelerator and pulled into the parking space perfectly - which surprised me because of her speed - and we all got out of the car.

Edward took my hand firmly in his as we walked towards the shining glass doors that Alice had begun positively beaming at with pure excitement and joy. "Alice sure is excited." I whispered to Edward as she ran a little ways ahead of us and pulled out her purse. "Let's go," she said as she ran through the doors, "there's a lot to get through."

Edward just turned to me with an apologetic smirk. "You have no idea what she is capable of with a credit card and a shopping mall." He stated a little frightened. Now I was really beginning to get worried. If Edward was frightened and he was a man, then a girl like me who despised shopping is going to loathe this with a passion. Maybe I shouldn't worry, I mean it's not like I'm going to buy anything. We'll just be here watching Alice shop and try on clothes, maybe carry a bag or two if need be. What's the worst that could happen? I asked myself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Aliiiice!" I whined. "Can we please go home now?" I pleaded with her for the hundredth time in the last 10 minutes. We had been at the shops for 3 and a half hours and Edward and I were carrying at least 10-15 bags between us and Alice must have had like 3 or 4 in each hand, and she just kept going from store to store, to yet another store and then another. I was starting to get curious as to where all the money came from.

Edward was right, I had no idea what Alice was capable of with a credit card and a shopping mall. "Bella we still have to go to Nordstrom's. Then we have to go back home so you can help me pick out my outfit for tonight." She explained.

"Lovely." I said with heavy sarcasm. Well at least it got Edward to laugh, I thought to myself. I could tell he was enjoying it just as much as I was, which wasn't at all.

After leaving Nordstrom's with another 3 bags, we all started for the shining glass doors that would bring us to that bright yellow Porsche and take us to the place we all longed for a lot more than usual.

Alice was once again walking ahead of us with a skip to her step. "I am never going to doubt you ever again." I told Edward as I leaned into him and he chuckled once again.
