Bella:
The rest of the day Edward and I lounge around his house, not really being bothered to do anything. His next acting project starts in a few weeks, so we're making the most of our limited quiet time.
Call me? ~Alice
My phone beeps loudly, startling both of us. I quickly recall the text to Edward, and then step out into the hallway to call Alice, like she asked. She answers almost immediately.
"Hello?" she says into the phone.
"Hey, Alice, it's me. Bella," I stutter back stupidly.
"Oh, hi. Have you and Edward seen the pictures?" Alice asks immediately.
"Uh, yeah, we have. It's ok, though. We don't mind," I tell her honestly.
"That's good," she says, then pauses a bit. "Um, how's Edward? Because mum's pretty upset," Alice says, sounding nervous.
"I've tried to make him see reason, but's he's pretty damn stubborn. Though, he has agreed to contact Esme, at least, after we've spoken to my parents," I nod, even though she can't see me. "How's Carlisle?" I ask tentatively.
"Pretty pissed, still. I've been giving him the silent treatment," Alice jokes, chuckling. I laugh along with her.
"Hey, I have an idea," I blurt as it suddenly hits me.
"What? Whenever you said that when you were younger, it never lead to good things," Alice warns.
"Can I come round and visit Carlisle?" I quickly ask her, lowering my voice just in case Edward hears.
"With or without Edward?" she asks sceptically.
"Without. I'll try and make peace," I insist to her.
"I don't know if that's such a good idea…" Alice mutters.
"Please! I'll just tell Edward I'm visiting you," I tell her, planning it all out. He won't question that.
"Fine. But if he gets angry, I was forced into it," Alice huffs in defeat. "I wish I'd never started speaking again," she mumbles quietly.
"I'm glad you did!" I tell her honestly. "See you soon," I end the call, and walk into the living room, back to Edward. Now for the teeny, tiny white lie I have to tell.
I walk over to Edward, straddling him, and placing my hands on his chest. He looks a little startled by my actions, but soon wraps his arms around my waist.
"How did the call go?" Edward asks, hugging me to him.
"Good. Alice asked if I'd like to go and catch up with her in person," I lie, hopefully not being too transparent.
"Really? Not at the house, right?" Edward confirms.
"Nope. At Starbucks, I think she said. Is that ok?" I ask timidly, hoping he believes me.
"Yeah, sure," he shrugs calmly.
With that, I kiss him before leaving. Now to meet with Carlisle.
