Chapter 9: First Date

After I finished setting up the meadow for my date with Alice tonight, I ran back to my house to change. I am so nervous for tonight that I'm shaking. I'm a vampire, damn it! I don't shake! I'm supposed to be confident, not a nervous wreck. No one has ever affected me the way Alice affects me. I think that I might be falling in love with her.

That thought alone scared me and was the reason for my nervousness. What if she doesn't feel the same way? What if I scare her away by moving too fast? So many questions whirling around in my head. I don't want to fuck this up.

I ran to my closet and grabbed my knee length red strapless dress. I paired it with black stiletto heels. I put on some light make up and fluffed my hair to the perfect sex hair.

As I was running out the door I grabbed my acoustic guitar. I did promise to play Ali my new song. As I approached the meadow I checked the time. It was still about half an hour before I told Alice to be here. Good I have time, I thought. I walked over to the little makeshift stage I had put together earlier. I set my guitar on the stand next to the microphone. I made sure that I had my iPod set up for when I was done with my song. The circle of trees that created the edge of the meadow were wrapped with twinkling white lights. Rose petals had been scattered across the ground. Speakers were hidden in the branches of the trees. Set up around the meadow were covered easels containing a few of my works. I checked the time again. It was almost seven. Alice would be here soon.

I grabbed my guitar and stood in front of the microphone waiting for her. As she as she stepped through the tree line I began playing a song that she inspired. My voice soon joined.

"Mmmmm...

Take me where I've never been,
Help me on my feet again.
Show me that good things come to those who wait.
Tell me I'm not on my own.
Tell me I won't be alone.
Tell me what I'm feelin' isn't some mistake.
'cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Save me from myself, you can.
And it's you and no one else.
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end.
If you asked me, I would follow.
But for now, I just pretend.
'cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Baby, when you look at me," I looked into her eyes.
"Tell me, what do you see?
Are these the eyes of someone you could love?
'Cause everything that brought me here,
Well, now it all seems so clear.
Baby, you're the one that I've been dreamin' of.
'cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Only you can take me sailin' in your deepest eyes.
Bring me to my knees and make me cry.
And no one's ever done this,
Everything was just a lie.
And I know, yes I know...

This is where it all begins,
So tell me it'll never end.
I can't fool myself,
It's you and no one else.
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end.
If you asked me, I would follow.
But for now, I just pretend.
Cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Show me that good things come to those who wait"

When I looked at her again, her eyes were shining with tears that would never fall.

"That was beautiful Amanda." She whispered.

I smiled softly. I turned my iPod on and soft music filled the night air. I walked to Alice. I gave her a once over and saw that she was wearing almost the same thing as I was except her dress was black with spaghetti straps.

"You look beautiful Alice. Would you do me the honor of dancing with me?" I held my hand out to her. She placed her hand in mine while nodding. I led her to the middle of the meadow. When we reached the middle I suddenly starting twirling her all around. She giggled at my sudden act.

We danced for a while before I stopped. I took her hand and led her to the first covered piece of art.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

"Yes." She whispered. I pulled the cover off with a flourish. I like to be dramatic sometimes so sue me. The first piece of art was a charcoal sketch of my parents. We moved on to the next one. It was a pencil drawing of the twins and me. I drew it from a picture taken at a party my father had thrown. All three of us had our heads thrown back laughing, and my arms were wrapped around Jane's and Alec's shoulders since I was in the middle. We moved on to the next piece. I uncovered and heard Alice gasp. Emmett and Jasper were wrestling, while Rosalie, Audrey, Katie, Edward, and Alice cheered them on from the back porch. The sun was shining brightly on them all, rainbows dancing throughout the drawing.

I was nervous as I led her to the last covered piece. I was hoping with my whole being that she likes it. Maybe I shouldn't show this to her, I thought to myself. When I didn't immediately reveal the next piece, Alice spoke.

"Amanda? Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine." I took a deep breath, turned around, and pulled the sheet off. I heard Alice gasp again. I couldn't bring myself to turn around and face her. I was scared to see her reaction, though I would never admit that out loud. I don't do scared.

"This is amazing Amanda. This can't be me. She's too beautiful." She breathed. She reached out as if to touch the picture, though her hand never actually reached its destination. It was a drawing of her. Just her head and shoulders, however. She had a dazzling smile upon her gorgeous face. Her eyes were the hardest part to portray. The way they lit up when she was excited or happy, was difficult to capture in a still life. Her raven hair was in its usual messy disarray, creating a sort of halo on her head. She was every bit as beautiful in the picture as she was in real life.

"Your eyes were the hardest. I had trouble finding the perfect color and trying to capture the way they show what you feel in a still life. And you are every bit as beautiful in as she is, because you are her. Just as she is you." I mumble still not looking at her.

"That has to be the most romantic thing anyone has ever told me." She whispered in my ear as she came up and wrapped her arms around me from behind. I turn around in her arms and lean down to capture her lips in a gentle kiss. She breaks the kiss a few moments later.

"Your eyes aren't the eyes of someone I could love." She whispered. I felt my heart crack a little at her words, before she continued. "They're the eyes of someone I do love. I love you Amanda." She said, staring into my eyes.

"I love you too Alice." I whisper as I lean down to capture her lips once again. I feel a shock of electricity rush through my body, going straight to my core. If my heart could beat, it would be pounding so hard right now. I run my tongue across Alice's bottom lip. She moans and opens her mouth to me without hesitation. My tongue makes its way into her sweet tasting mouth. She tasted just like she smelled. Like vanilla and cinnamon, sweet with a hint of spice. Delicious.

I didn't realize we were moving until I felt the tree against her back. I pulled away from her addicting mouth and trailed kisses across her jaw and down her neck, where I sucked softly on where her pulse used to be. She tilted her head back and moaned. I wanted to make her moan for the rest of eternity. I could feel my panties dampen at the same time I smelt both of out arousals. A soft growl rumbled in my chest. I slipped my thigh between Alice's legs and ground my hips into hers. She whimpered softly and fisted her small hands in my hair, while tugging slightly. A moan spilled from my lips as I leaned back to look into her eyes. They were darkened in lust, but I could see love swirling in their depths. Love for me. I crushed my lips back to hers as I lifted her so she could wrap her legs around my waist. I turned and gently and gracefully lowered us to the ground with me hovering above her. I pulled back from the kiss just enough to whisper "I love you" against her lips before reclaiming them with mine.

A/N: Well, that's the end of chapter 9. I hope it was good enough to make up for my long absence. I know I kind of left you hanging at the end, but I promise the next chapter will make up for it. Next chapter will definitely be hot. I hope. It will not only be my first girl/girl lemon, it will be my first lemon period. I hope I do well. Wish me luck. My next update should be up by next weekend, no later than Sunday. You don't have to review, but I would appreciate it. Reviews are love. They also help make my writing better. Thank you. And the song is You Can by David Archuleta.
