Coffee Shop Scene.
Alice and I read quietly to ourselves on the couch when we heard a yawn.
"Bella's up!" She smiled before throwing the book aside and skipping up the stairs. I chuckled, my eyes still focused on the book, as Esme walked down, her eyes following her quirky daughter.
"My, she's excited. Do you have something planned for today?" She asked, taking Alice's spot on the couch.
"She wants to take Bella shopping…..forcefully." I said and Esme laughed. I closed the book, hearing Bella's dragged footsteps and Alice's bouncy ones.
"Oh, come on Bella! It'll be fun! It'll just be us girls!" She chirped and Bella groaned.
"I'm still tired." She yawned as auntie and I chuckled.
"Alice, she's tired. She is human after all." Esme said gently grabbing Bella from Alice and leading her to the couch.
"But I have been waiting for this trip ever since I saw it! Let's go!" Alice said, dragging Bella by her arm again. I stood up and called Jen's name. She appeared beside me with Rose and we walked out.
"We should take my Hummer." Rosalie smiled as she pressed the unlock button, making the car beep. We all laughed and got into the car. I sat in the back with Bella and watched as she was falling back to sleep on the seat.
"What time did you go to sleep, Bella?" I asked and she looked at me through her heavy eyes.
"I think…5?" She said, not sure herself.
"Oh, no. You need to get better rest." Jennesa said, turning around to stare at her. Alice turned as well.
"Don't worry. After her coffee, she'll be up and at 'em." Alice smiled and Bella looked at her.
"I don't like coffee…" She muttered and Alice laughed.
"You will in two minutes." She said, Rose pulling into a small coffee shop. "Elena, go in and order an espresso with whipped cream and caramel." She handed me the money and I climbed out the car, chuckling at Bella's complaints. I opened the door, and everyone stopped to stare as I walked to the counter. I smiled at the 16 year old cashier.
"Hello." I chirped and he gulped.
"H-H-Hello…how can I help you?"
"She'll have an espresso with whipped cream and caramel." My head turned slightly and I found Sean standing beside me. The cashier looked at Sean, then back at me, and nodded.
"That will be $3.50." He said, his nervous voice gone. I turned my head and gave the boy the money before walking to where the orders were to be picked up.
"Are you stalking me?" I asked, waiting for the order. He chuckled deeply while leaning against the counter.
"Me? Stalk you? No way!" He smirked and I smiled slightly. "I just happened to be in the neighborhood when I caught your scent." He whispered low enough for only me to hear. I looked at him and crossed my arms over my chest.
"My scent, huh? And what would that be, exactly?" I asked and he looked at the girl who was serving my order while looking at him before looking back at me.
"I would have to say, you smell like a trash can." He answered and I growled. He laughed before reaching up and moving a strand of hair out of my face. "I'm kidding." He said as the girl placed my order onto the counter. I grabbed it, thanked the girl, and began to walk out. "If you really want to know what your scent is, you smell like chocolate covered strawberries." I stopped, my hand on the door handle and turned towards him. He smiled at me before I smiled back.
"Not a bad answer." I said coolly and he chuckled. "Now if you would excuse me, I have a shopping spree to attend to with my cousins." I said, opening the door and heading back to Rose's Hummer. I saw all of them piled to the front window and I stopped. They were smiling and looking behind me. I turned slowly and found Sean. "Why are you still following me?" I asked and he smiled.
"I thought I'd help you get into the car." He said, walking to the door and opening it. Alice jumped out and looked at him before extending her hand.
"I knew it! I'm Alice Cullen, Elena's cousin. Nice to meet you Sean Carlson." She said, grabbing his hand and shaking it. I glowered at her.
"You saw him?" I asked and she giggled.
"Maybe." She said tauntingly. Sean snickered and turned towards me.
"I'll be leaving you now." He said, walking towards me, stopping just in front of me. He patted my head lightly before walking past me. "I'll see you later, Ellie." I growled again and Alice dragged me into the car.
"Bella didn't need coffee, did she?" I hissed and they began to laugh, including the now awake human. I looked at her and she smiled.
"Alice told me last night." She stated and they laughed again. I handed her the coffee and she began taking sips of it as Rose drove off.
"Don't be mad, Elena. He is kind of cute." Alice said and Jen scoffed.
"You must have not seen him clearly, he wasn't just cute! He was gorgeous!" She exclaimed and I rolled my eyes.
"Just shut it already."
