AN: Gah! I'm so sorry for the late update you guys! I had the stomach flu, or food poisoning, and I could barely stay awake, let alone write a whole frickin' chapter for this thing. xD

-I start school next Tuesday, September the 8th, so after that my updates will take even longer… Sorry, again.

-I don't own anything Twilight, except most of the posters, the bandaids, the Edward action figure, and a few shirts. But, sadly, the characters aren't mine. I just have dreams about them. ;)

Anyway, without further ado, here's your update, lovies.

Alice woke me up in the morning. I was beginning to think that I would never be able to sleep in as long as I was with her. But, oddly, I was okay with that.

I got out of bed and stretched as Alice set some of my clean clothes on the bed.

"Hurry up and take a shower," she instructed, "We still need to swing by your dorm and grab your stuff."

I nodded and hurried into the bathroom. After I took a quick shower, shaved my armpits, then my legs, I changed into the outfit that Alice had selected for me. I walked out of the bathroom and narrowed my eyes at my girlfriend, who was sitting at the table drinking her coffee.

"What the fuck, Alice?" I said softly, gesturing to my outfit. She'd given me the most outrageous pieces that she'd bought for me: a pink blouse that showed off most of my cleavage, a pair of skin tight jeans, and a pair of light pink high heels.

"You look sexy," Alice explained, "Besides, I want to show you off everywhere we go." She licked her lips and looked at my breasts.

I sighed and grabbed the bags of my clothes. "Let's go," I mumbled. Alice, who'd already gotten dressed before I'd woken up, led me out to her car and helped me put my stuff in the trunk. We drove to my dorm, then I hurried up to my room, Alice right on my tail.

"I'm sorry for the mess," I mumbled as I unlocked the door. I went inside and set down my bags by the foot of the bed. I quickly grabbed my backpack, then went back to the door. Alice was looking around curiously. "Lets just go," I said as I pulled her out of my dorm. After I locked the door, we decided to walk to class, instead of drive.

Alice grabbed my hand as we walked across campus. I smiled at her and lifted her hand to my lips, kissing it gently.

"I love you, Alice," I murmured. She smiled back at me and squeezed my hand.

Alice held the door open for me and I walked inside. Half the class was already there, and they stared at us as we went to our seats in the front of the class. I hid my face and looked down at my textbook, silently begging for the other students to look away from us. The only comfort I had was Alice's small hand on my thigh.

"Relax, baby," she whispered, "Everything's fine."

I looked over at her and smiled a bit as the teacher began the lesson of the day. I could barely pay attention to what Mr. Masen was saying, because Alice's hand was rubbing my thigh as she took notes with her free hand. It was driving me crazy.

When class finally ended, I stood up and slung my backpack over my shoulder. Alice stood up and immediately grabbed my hand. I blushed a deep scarlet and we walked out of the classroom towards the coffee shop where we'd first really talked. Alice ordered a latte, and I ordered a hot chocolate. We sat on a sofa in the corner and Alice snuggled into the side of my body.

"You okay?" she murmured, "You seemed so… embarrassed during class…"
I shrugged and rested my head on hers. "It's just weird, I guess, for people to know that I'm dating you. I mean, I'm hardly good enough for you…" I took a sip of my hot coco and sighed.

Alice sat up and frowned at me. "Don't ever say that again, Bella! Do you hear me? You are good enough to be with me. You're better than me."

I nodded slowly and bit my lower lip. "I had a dream about you last night," I murmured.

Alice arched a brow and moved back into her original spot, curled into my side. "Go on," she prompted.

I took a deep breath and said, "In the dream, I was… raping you. But I wasn't myself. I was… James. It scared the shit out of me and I have no idea why the hell I'd dream about that…"

Alice stiffened beside me, then hugged me tighter. "You didn't rape me," she whispered, "He did. I know that you'd never hurt me…"

I hugged her tightly, then finished my drink. We left the café and I walked with Alice back to her car. "Um… Have a nice day," I said awkwardly.

Alice frowned and opened the drivers door of her car. "You're not coming home with me?" she asked.

I shrugged and looked back towards my dorm. "I have some homework to do, and I can't put it off for much longer," I mumbled.

Alice sighed and threw her purse in the car. "I think you should move in with me, Bella," she said softly, "I mean, that way we wouldn't have to be apart all that much… You make me feel safe, and I don't ever want to be away from you."

I looked at her and smiled a bit. "You really want to live together?" I asked softly.

Alice grinned and nodded. "Of course! I love you and I want to spend all of my time with you… Now lets go get some clothes for you, then we can officially move you in this weekend. Emmett will come and help. Edward and Jasper wouldn't be any help, so I wont even invite them." We laughed, then ran off to my dorm.

Alice packed a couple of bags for me, then we went back to her apartment. She made room in her closet for my clothes, then we changed the sheets on the bed, but that ended up in us having a pillow fight.

We curled up together on the bed and talked for the rest of the afternoon. It was perfect, until the phone rang.

"Hello?" Alice answered as she got off the bed. "Oh… Hi, Mom." She spoke quietly to the person on the phone and I waited patiently for her to finish.

When Alice hung up, she climbed onto the bed beside me. "My mother and father want to meet you. They're insisting that you come to Thanksgiving dinner and 'meet the family'," she said softly.

Well, my afternoon was almost perfect.

AN: It's short, I know. But I'm SUPER tired, and I don't really feel like writing more right now. I'll probably update tomorrow, depending on how I feel.

REVIEW NOW, I'll have James kill Alice. ;)
