Chapter 8: Funny Feelings

*Alice*

I watched Emmett from my old room balcony. I knew what was going on. He was falling for Bella. Who wouldn't? She was just his type. I could see their future, but Emmett didn't care to know. Sometimes that lug frustrated me.

He's had it hard these last few years. Since the family moved to northern Canada, he has felt lost. He drifted away from all of us, even Rosalie. We knew he was miserable, we just couldn't tell him why. Rosalie knew, all along. She found her mate, not long after we moved.

Emmett was devistated when he found out. Rosalie had used her power of glamour to make him believe he was her mate, to protect him. Once he left Forks, it was over. His pull hit hard. I knew it wouldn't be long before he found her.

I sighed and walked back inside. I sat at my desk, flipping through the latest catalogue from Milan. I was taking Bella shopping this weekend. I was excited. Even if she couldn't see, I would still make sure she would look fabulous.

An hour or so later, Emmett came strolling back into the house. I met him downstairs in the foyer.

"Nice run?"

"How long have you known?"

I could tell what he was asking by him not looking at me. "Since you came back. I seen it."

He nodded. "I don't want her to know a thing. Just let it keep going the way it is. She will know soon enough."

"Whatever you say, big brother."

The shopping day finally arrived. I pulled up at the Swan house and walked up to the door. I was greeted a few minutes later by Bella.

"Hey. Are you ready?"

"Yeah. Bye, dad! See you later!"

"Bye, Bells! Have a good time."

"I will."

"Let's get going. We have a busy day today."

She nodded and we walked to my car. She ran her hand down the side as she found her way to the passenger door.

"Why am I not surprised at the fact that you drive a Eclipse?"

"How did you know that?"

"They guys and I always talked about owning one. I always wanted a neon green one."

I laughed. She truly was one of a kind. "Awesome."

I pulled out of the drive and headed towards our destination. We made small talk on the way. She told me about her life, which, by the way, made me feel bad for her. I told her about our family, Carlisle, Esme, Edward and Rosalie. And Jasper, of course.

After a few hours, we made it to upper Seattle. I parked in the garage and we began our trip.

"Hello, Alice. How are you, today?"

"Hello, Felicia. Just bringing my friend Bella shopping. She needs civilian clothes as she puts it." I giggled.

"Hello, Bella. Welcome to Kindora. I take it you served our country?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Well, thank you for your fight. Now, what are you looking for?"

"Actually, Ill be feeling for things." She laughed.

"Oh, I..I'm sorry."

"It's okay. You didnt know. I joke a lot."

Felicia looked at me and I just nodded.

"Well, I will let you ladies shop. If you need anything, please, let me know."

"Thank you, Felicia. So, Bella, what is it you want?"

"Bright colors, maybe some flowy short sundresses and sandles."

"Perfect." I beamed. I pulled her through the store, picking out different dresses and matching shoes. Bella felt of each, asking what they looked like, then tried them on.

I was so happy chose my favorites. The white strapless sundress with the bright pink, blue and purple flowers, the bright green and purple striped halter dress and the pink and blue sequined dress. She chose the cutest white sandals that had a bit of heel and straped up the calf.

After we shopped for clothes, we done accessories. I do have to say, for being in the military for so long, Bella has a fabulous sense of style! She is so totally my other half!

We decided to take a break from shopping and let her eat. She sat down while I ordered for her. She was still nervous being in public and carrying a tray while blind.

"Here you go. A chef salad and a large Dr. Pepper."

"Thanks, Alice." She smiled.

"You're welcome."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"You're Emmett's sister, you know him better than anyone. What kind of girl does he like?"

Yes! Now we are getting somewhere. "Well, someone who is down to earth. Loves to be outdoors, and absolutely must love video games."

"He's simple. I think we'll get along."

"Me, too." I could tell something else had her wanting to ask other questions. "Is anything wrong?"

"It's weird. I feel comfortable around him all the time. It's like I can feel him there, outside my window. I feel this pull to him, like I need to be with him, like I'm supposed to be by him."

I couldn't help but smile. It was true. She could feel him. It was great. Things were falling together wonderfully.

"Well, how do you feel about him?"

"I like him, a lot. He doesn't treat me as a fragile person with a disability. He lets me be myself. That's what I like. I enjoy bein around him."

I could see her blushing. She was falling. "Well, are you ready to finish our shopping?"

"I am."

We walked around the mall for another hour, shopping for jeans, shirts and shoes. Needless to say, I'm thankful I had a big enough car to carry all of these bags!

We continued to talk about Emmett and I told her about Jasper, promising her I would bring hin back next time I visit.

"Alice, I know y'all are different. I can feel it. You are cold to the touch, you don't eat or drink, hardly. I can't quite put my finger on it, but you're not human."

"Bella, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Okay. Deny it. Just because I can't see doesn't mean I'm completly oblivious to you."

She was catching on. Quickly. I just hoped she caught on to Emmett. He was going crazy keeping our secret from her.

It wasn't long and we pulled up at Bella's. I helped her take her bags in before I left. I drove quickly home. Emmett waiting on the front porch.

"She's catching on, dear brother. She likes you. It won't be much longer and she will figure it out."

"What all did she say?"

"Asked about the kind of girl you liked, how you don't treat her like she does have a disability. Don't worry. She's falling for you."

Emmett smiled bigger than I had ever seen on his face. He picked me up and hugged me.

"Thanks, Ali!"

"You're welcome. Now, help me with these bags."
