[Bitter-Sweet Lives]
Chapter 3, Meeting Alice
More woke up to a pair of grey-blue eyes staring at him. He widened his eyes, scrambling out of bed. Alice held her hands up in defense "Hey, it's just me!" she said, surprising him. "Why are you here?!" he asked, she shrugged "You said that I was going to your house today" she said, he sighed "I meant in the afternoon" he pause, thinking "How did you get in here?" She sat down in the computer chair near his desk "The window" she said it like it was normal. He made a confused look "Why did you come through there?" She shrugged her shoulders, looking clueless "I knocked on the door and no one answered. So I came through here" she pointed to the window. "Okay?" he said as he made his bed.
More lead Alice downstairs, asking her if she ate. She shook her head "No" he nodded, getting out the ingredients for an omelet. "Do you like omelets?" he asked, she nodded "I'll eat anything" He started to cook, the smell of he food filling the air. Alice smiled, closing her eyes and leaning foreword "That smells good!" she said, More got out plates and put the omelets on them. "Try eating it" he said, sliding the plate toward her. The moment the omelet was in her mouth her eyes lit up. "Mm! This is so good!" she said, causing More to smile. "Your very good at cooking" she said, shoveling the food in her mouth, "Thanks" he said, eating his own. Alice and More soon finished their omelets. He took their plates and put them in the dishwasher.
"So, can you tell me about God now?" Alice asked, excitement in her eyes. More smiled, taking her hand and leading her to the living room. He sat her down on the couch. He then went to the bookshelf and got the family Bible. He sat next to her, facing her with the book in-between them. "Okay, keep an open mind about this because right now all science is thrown out the window" She nodded,closing her eyes "I'm going to visualize what you tell me" she said. He took the Bible in his hands, putting it in hers. "This is the word of God, also known as the Holy Bible. This is the book I read from at school, it gives guidance and enlightens those who read it" he told her about God and Jesus, and about Heaven and Hell. She took in every bit that he told her, this was showing her a lighter state that she could be in. She was also being moved toward that light. Soon enough she was moved into the brightest place in that light.
"More?" they heard Caitlin asked as she walked in the room. "Hey mom" he said, waving. Alice opened her eyes, looking at Caitlin. Caitlin looked confused "Who's she?" More looked at Alice and back at his mother "This is Alice" Caitlin raised an eyebrow "I thought that she was coming in the afternoon" More shrugged "I did too" Caitlin rubbed her eyes, yawning "Okay then" she said, walking into the kitchen. More smiled "Well, that's my mom for you" he said, chuckling. Alice smiled back, getting up "Thank you for helping me" she said, More got up with her 'It was a pleasure" Alice walked to the door, More followed. "Well,,. I must be going' she said, kissing his cheek 'Bye" she said, walking out of the door. More just stood there, blushing lightly. He touched the skin that she kissed with his finger tips, it was as cold as ice compared to the rest of his blushing face. He smiled as he whispered "She's like a snowflake"
