Chapter Eight

BPOV

"Hi," I mumble.

"I just came by to tell you about the progress on your bike. It just needed some oil and gas, but I took the liberty of fixing up the engine so it can go faster."

"Wow, thank you. That was quick." It's then that I notice the grease stains on her shirt.

"I'm not completely done yet, so I'll have Emmett drop it off once I'm done. Till then, you'll be traveling with Shorty."

"I'm not short!" Alice says, glaring at Rosalie.

"5'2" is kinda short Ali," I say.

"It's not my fault everyone here's a damn skyscraper!" she grumbles with frustration as she leaves the room.

Rosalie and I share a look as we follow after her. I'm glad to see that Alice was right about Rosalie, she's alright once you get to know her. I think giving her my bike to work on helped a little though.

"Anyway, Esme told me to call you for lunch, so whenever you're ready you can head over there."

"Thank you Rosalie."

"Just Rose," she says with a smile before she heads back to the garage.

"See? I told you she's not so bad."

Alice heads to the living room where Emmett and Jasper are still playing their game while I go to the kitchen.

I eat rather quickly - the food is delicious and I'm starving - but Esme refuses my offer to help clean up afterwards. When I return to the living room, I see Alice mow racing against Emmett in a game. She sits on her knees, then moves to lay her belly, then on her back, then stands before sitting on Emmett's lap to block his view of the screen.

"Ugh, Alice! Get out of my way!" Emmett shouts, trying to look around her and shove her off at the same time. Alice pays him no attention, sitting on his lap long enough for her to get a decent lead before getting up and driving her car past the finish line.

"Yes! I won! I won!" Alice sings, dropping the controller and hugging me. "Did you see that?"

"Yep, you won. Though you did cheat," I say, returning the hug.

"I did not cheat. I didn't see anywhere where it says I can't sit on the lap of another player." I roll my eyes, removing my arms from her waist. Her own arms linger for a moment longer around my neck before she lets go.

"What do you want to do now?" I ask.

"Well, I was thinking we could go shopping! Oh, I'll get you the cutest dress!"

"Dress? Alice-"

"I wonder if we can get Rosalie and Esme to come."

"Alice!"

"We can turn it into a girls' night!"

"Alice!"

"What Bella?"

"I don't want to got shopping." She stares at me, as if wondering if she heard correctly.

"Come again?" she says, her smile fading and her eyes narrowing.

"What I meant was I don't want to go shopping tonight," I say, stepping away from her. "I'd love to go another time." I bump into something hard.

"Hey Belly," Emmett says, a huge grin on his face. How on earth did he get from the couch to there?

"Belly?"

"Yeah. As in Jelly-Belly." I shake my head at him. "You're taller than I remember. It's like you grew three inches in one night."

"Yeah, I know. It's weird." What's more weird is that I haven't been tripping as much lately.

The rest of the day passes uneventfully. I meet Carlisle, as he insists to be called, and despite being surrounded by six people I technically just met, I'm extremely comfortable the entire time.

Alice offers me her room to sleep in, insisting that I shouldn't have to use the guest room.

I jump into the covers, wearing just my sleeping shirt and underwear when Alice comes out of the bathroom naked except for her own underwear. My heart starts drumming louder than before as I blush madly. Alice doesn't react and climbs into the covers beside me, pulling them up to her neck.

"You look like you've seen a ghost," she comments with a small smile on her face.

I shake my head to clear the haziness. Yeah, falling asleep isn't going to be as easy as I thought.

"I swear you did Bella."

"Nope, still don't believe you." Alice has been telling me all morning that not only did I pull her into my arms and hold her there all night, I had said her name in my sleep a few times.

"Bella, c'mon you've got to remember." I remember holding her. I'm just too embarrassed to admit it.

"You're making it up. Deluding yourself into believing what you wish to have happened."

Thankfully, she drops it eventually and my cheeks are able to return to their normal color.

"We have a few more hours before I have to drop you off at Angela's; what do you want to do till then?"

I shrug and lean back into the couch, my arm limp around her shoulders.

I don't realize that I've dozed off until I'm being gently shaken and Alice's face is in front of mine when I open my eyes.

"Come on Sleepy Head. We have to get you to Angela's. Your stuff's already in the car."

I get up and stretch sluggishly then say my goodbyes to the others. I follow Alice to the garage and am surprised by how many cars there are.

"Do you guys not believe in carpooling?" I ask with a chuckle.

Rosalie laughs from her place next to my bike. "Of course we do. We also happen to believe in owning good looking cars." She wipes at some grease on her face with the sleeve of her shirt, smearing it around.

Alice starts her car up and pulls out of the garage.

"See you around Rose." She waves without looking away from what she's doing and I jog over to Alice's car and get in.

Eventually, we reach Angela's house and I tell Alice to stop the car.

When I get out of her car, she leans over before I can close the door. "Don't wander off into the woods by yourself."

"Um…okay. I won't," I say with a chuckle.

"See you on Monday." I wave and walk over to knock on Angela's door.

I find her already prepared so we leave as soon as I finish greeting her parents and brothers. The entire drive there, I try to settle my nerves about the possibility of bumping into Leah.

A/N: Here we go, gonna start seeing some more action soon. R&R
