Chapter two: Lattes for two
Ambush was a strong word but really the only one to describe what had happened the moment Alice had returned home from school with Esme and Carlisle already waiting for her in the living room with serious looks plastered across their flawless vampire faces with a mixture of apprehension and worry she hadn't seen from them both in a really long time.
"Which one of them called you then? it was Edward, my moneys on Eddy" Alice didn't need a verbal admission as they both gave each other that knowing look and that all but made it clear Edward had been her Judas in this matter and it wasn't exactly like she could blame any of them for ratting her out and since she was the fastest home she would hopefully get ahead of this before it is blown all out of proportion.
"See I told you she would see this whole conversation before we even had it... Carlisle, we should realistically just ask her how it ends and move forward with that the best we can" Esme knew Alice too well by this point so when she saw her crooked grin appear on her face before she spoke she realised Alice hadn't seen a damn thing and had no earthly idea how this conversation would end.
"Should I lie and say you let me, your perfect daughter off the hook with a fair but stern warning?" Her cheek was duly noted and both Carisle and Esme rolled their eyes unnaturally fast for humans andyet being Vampires usually sped some things along you would never expect, sighs and eye rolls and the like usually happened somewhere between human and vampire speed.
"We are worried for good reason Alice, Edward has reason to believe you are hunting the Police chiefs daughter... we can not risk" Carisle started hut Alice cut him off as she rushed over to him and placed a loving hand on both his and Esme's shoulder.
"I wasn't hunting... in fact I didn't pay much attention to her blood at all, she was just... interesting, very very interesting" Alice removed her hands after gazing into the middle distance ajd then wrenching herself back to reality. her hand dived into her school bag and she took out her sketchbook and showed both her coven leaders and adoptive parents the picture she had sketched of the girl in question.
"She is quite a beauty for sure Alice but, since when have you showed interest in anyone before... Human or vampire. This is highly unlike you..." Carisle wore a look of concern that bordered on genuine as if he was wrestling with the idea that maybe Alice was allowing the lure of the hunt to overtake her.
"When the others return you can ask them whether my eyes went dark since they watched me like hawks the entire day... anyway i have invited her over on saturday so you will have to get the hang of the idea i have a human friend" Alice was so quick to blurt out her plan it threw both Vampires for a loop and they had no breath in their stone lungs for a response.
"This is very unlike you Alice, you have never been social... you barely spend time with us unless we are hunting or it happens to be a holiday" Esme was the first to speak after a short pause but Alice was steadfast and held her ground, it was as if she was infused with an invincible will for the first time in her life.
Alice sighed a breathless sigh.
"Would you just humor me, I'm not going to kill the police chiefs daughter and we all know it... in fact i'm going to teach her to draw and spend time with her, think of it as me... coming out of my shell" Alice was slowly pacing but not in a panic driven way, she had perfect posture and was calm, Carisle couldn't believe how calm she was.
"This is dangerous Alice, even if you have the second best control in the house... it's flirting with fate and you know it" Carisle didn't even flinch when Rosalie and Emmet bounded through the door and continued the conversation they had heard with their amazing vampire hearing from down the road.
"Is that her nickname now Alice 'Fate'... you've barely known her a day and you've already picked a cute little name out for that cute little Singer of yours" Rosalie spat her words out with an indignance that really did show her flawless beauties uglier side.
Esme's eyes went wide as she realised the girl was a singee of all things "So you are on the hunt? when were you going to mention the girls blood sings to you?" she walked straight up to Alice and looked deeply into her eyes but they had remained a brilliant golden hue and she couldn't understand how Alice was being so calm during this time of panic for their coven.
"Ask them... ask them if my eyes changed to black even once. Cause they really didn't and Rosalie stop being jealous just because I've made a new friend, I told her all about your love of cars you know" Alice grinned giddily as she detached herself from Esme and glided over to her blonde sister who was shaking with rage at this point.
"I heard the whole conversation... from your flirting at lunch all the way to the end of our shared art class. Right up until you barely tore yourself away from her in the parking lot" Rosalie was scowling and Alice had to admit she did like it when her sister actually showed some emotion every now and then. this was the most passionate she had seen her in years, the last time was when she had mated to Emmet and those were a wild few years in hindsight.
"She did spend along time telling Bella how handy you are with cars... I don't really think Alice was hunting. I've seen hunting and she wasn't even close" Emmet grinned as Alice realised what he was doing, her adoptive big brother was protecting her and she had to admit it really did feel nice.
Carisle piped up from his rigid statuesque pose in the center of the living room and Asked Emmet directly "And what would you describe Alice's actions as being Emmet? her actions, her eyes... how did she handle Bella?" Carisle was nervous and he was usually so stoic that it seemed to make everyone else around him nervous except for Emmet who understood his grounds for concern just as well as anybody else.
Emmet smirked with a playful grin creeping upon his lips "She was flirting, wildly... poor Bella was blushing most of the day from what i've seen and heard... But Alices eyes didn't change once. When Jasper returns he will confirm her emotions and not once did he register hunger... well not for blood anyway".
If Alice was still human she would have been just a red as Bella had been whenever she had got a little bit too close or flirted along the edge of what any normal person would conaider acceptable. Alices hands rose to cover her face and the Cullens had no idea how to react to the news of their coven member not only being overtly flirty which was totally out of character for her but also having a very hard time denying it.
"I was not flirting! I was... I was just being friendly, Bella is a very interesting person and... and" Alice was basically blabbering at this point and that was another thing none of them had ever seen before. Alice Cullen never stumbled over her words and she was never caught with her hands so deep in the cookie jar before.
Esme placed ahand on Alices wriet and the poor girl almost jumped out of her marble skin "Woah, since when do you jump in suprise?" Esme asked with a complete gormless look of incomprehensible shock. no onehad ever suprised Alice before in this house and it wasn't like they hadn't tried at times.
Emmet chuckled a burly laugh before answering for Alice "Ever since she saw Bella this morning in the parking lot i bet... the poor humans couldn't believe how attached at the hip they were... Jessica and Mikes head would have exploded in the middle of the cafeteria if Alice had stayed at their table" his voice was masculine but with just a tinge of childish cheekiness that Alice felt as if her big brother was bullying her and she didn't like it.
"Edwards gonna be pissed at me when he gets home, I did kinda relight the whole Jessica obsession again" Alice cringed before she heard Edward shoot through the front door and give her a very annoyed, almost dangerous look.
"Yeah, i could have done without that dear sister... Jaspers also annoyed but he'll be fine when he has finished up the hunt" Edward walked directly over to Carisle and whispered in ear which was completely unnecessary and she and everyone else who wasn't their father knew it was a show of his dominance as he was obviously Carlisles favourite and if that annoyed Esme at all she never seemed to show it.
"You can't read her mind... that is a strange development, can Alice see her future... can Jasper read and affect her emotions?" Carisle asked the room more than Edwards and yet he was the first to respond anyway and he even responded for Alice after reading her internal reaction before she could even voice her words to them all and she winced in annoyance as he spoke.
"She can but Jasper has a little trouble unless he focuses deep, me on the other hand, nothing and i don't like it" Edward went over to the sofa and threw himself down more gracefully then any man ever could and decided to observe from a distance unless he needed to but in for any reason.
Alice spoke with a soft tone to her musical voice "Apart from captain privacy here invading my thoughts yet again, is there anyone else who wants to voice their opinion on how crazy i am or does the golden child here get the last say in family matters like always" Alice pointed with her middle finger raised to flip Edward the bird but she never took her eyes off Carisles and he seemed shocked Alice was being so openly hostile towards Edward for once.
"Edward does not always get the final say in family matters..." Carisles voice trailed off as the look from his coven spoke a different reality than he was willing to previously accept and even as he turned to Esme she seemed to also agree with Alices words although he knew she wouldn't voice them until they were alone and only if he impressed upon her at that.
"Look at you standing up for yourself for once... this humans really doing a number on you eh! shame Eddy can't read her mind. I'm kinda curious to know what she thinks about you" Rosalie leaned against Emmets big strong arms and found a great deal of comfort in the closeness.
"It's not like that! i've made a friend... why is this so hard to believe" Alice suddenly shot a meancing look over to Edward and gave him such a look that his words caught in his throat, he seemed to almost shrink into the couch and the moment didn't escape any of their notices.
Japser flew through the door as the last member of their coven finally returned home after having taken his fill of the local wildlife and he hadn't even bothered to clean himself up juet in case he missed his part to play in this dire familial discussion.
"Ahh Jasper finally tell us of Alices emotions today and if she was in hunting mode or not" Emmet had bee the first to speak as he was obviously on Aices side and refused to let Edward lead the conversation down a road that was more beneficial for him as he usally tried to do.
Jasper calmly responded as he push his calm feelings on to all of them "She wss not hunting... just flirtin with the little lady" his southern drawl came out and he could feel hismate Edward bite his lip i nresponse. Edward had a thing for his accent and sometimes he stopped using it to make his fetish grow fonder with its absence.
Alice felt her emotions reach a cresendo of unpleasentness and she stamped her foot in defiance and yelled "I was not flirting with Bella! why is everyone in this fucking house so constantly obsessed with sex!" her sudden use of the first swear word she had ever uttered in front of them completely shot down any defence she could ever erect as the family went deathly silent as they all came to terms with Alices sudden outburst and use of an actual honest to god swear word.
She took the lull in the conversation as a chance to lay down the law, her own demands as it were.
"Bella is going to be my friend and this saturday everyone will be well fed and on their best behavior or i swear to god i will make everyones lives completly unbearable if you ruin this for me!" Alice stormed off upstairs not caring what they thought anymore and slammed her door so hard the vampires couldn't help but hear the wood crack suddenly under her vampire hands as she tried to lessen the blow uneffectively and yet the silence remained unbroken for an eerily long time.
The vampires all looked at one another in utter bafflement, none of them had ever seen Alice react in such a passionate way before as she was always so soft spoken and well worded. It was almost impossible to think of her as once being a human women at times with the amount of self control she usually posessed and now she was showing her emotional range for the first time and no one really knew how to handle it.
Jasper was the first to speak up "That was something... new" his rapid blinking was obviously his way of trying to come to terms with what had just happened in their living room and for the life of him he had no idea how to react which was strange for a southern gentleman of his pedigree and upbringing.
Rosalie broke the silence with an unexpectedly somber tone "Is... is Alice ok?" Rosalie's eyes darted from Carlisle to Esme and the latter nodded in affirmation before turning to the stairs and walking directly to Alices room barely making any noise at all, Alice's room was sound proof so after Esme was allowed inside the vampires had no hope of hearing what they were both talking about and didn't even bother to try.
"It seems she is adamant when it comes to the new girl eh! I had no idea Alice swung for the other team and I'm usually so good at this... i realised Edward and Jasper were at it months before anyone else had" Emmet chuckled as Edward snuggled into Jaspers side as they both relaxed on the sofa and Edward tried to read the minds of both Esme and Alice but he would have to get closer if he wanted to hear them any better than he did right now which was not very good at all.
"Alice isn't... well who cares if she is, the problem isn't what she likes between her legs. The problem is the human she's flirting with is the police chiefs daughter and also a damn singer! This is alot more dangerous than she likes to admit, even if she has the bloodlust under control" Rosalie was pacing herself now and Emmet knew to let her get the energy out before she snapped at any one of them since her nerves were usually on a knifes edge at the best of times.
Jasper spoke up from the sofa as he turned the television on but muted the sound on purpose. "Looks like we're going to need to stock up on Animal blood if we want this to even have a chance of working! we can't hunt every damn day or we'll never let the local wildlife repopulate" He gave Carisle a look and he knew Jasper was right and it was something they could easily remedy with a few phone calls and some clandestine deliveries.
"Edward and I will stock the cellar with more pigs blood then anyones ever seen before, hunt once a week and everyone will be learning self control from now on, every other day!" Carlisle was willing to make this work as long as Esme came back down and gave him the go ahead to do so, he had no idea what he would do if she came down and told him they shouldn't allow Alice anywhere near this Bella but he would trust her judgement on the matter no matter what it is.
"Hmmm...guess we need to go shopping for cups, blood mugs... i want one shaped like a bear! maybe a fox" Emmet joked but also genuinely mused to himself and Rosalie couldn't help but giggle as her big strong bear of a man himself always spoke his mind clearly no matter how childish he was.
"You like this Bella don't you, you've defended Alice the entire day and that's not like you at all" Rosalie picked up her phone and started looking online for cute cups her husband might enjoy for the sheer novelty of it all and she herself would also have some fun with this if she could.
"She is shy and awkward but I have a great feeling about her, I don't think she would care if she knew what we were... she would make a fine vampire if it ever came down to it" Emmet spoke his mind but everyone gave him a varying mix of looks and most of them seemed to think he was mad in some way or maybe even a little retarded.
The only one who really seemed to take him seriously was Rosalie herself and yet even she took what her man had so freely said with a grain of very fine salt.
"We are not turning the girl Emmet, Charlie is a good man and his daughters sudden disappearence would raise so many alarm bells and what if she suddenly returns to him after we fake her death... it is all way too difficult to handle such a complex matter as if we were human children and not the disgusting immortals we truly are" Edward piped up from his lovers embrace but didn't look up towarda anyone and kept his eyes firmly on the television.
Emmet scoffed and shook his head before laughing at Edwards constant hatred of himself "I am not saying we should go and bite her right now, it is an option we shouldn't dismiss so easily if it comes down to it... i am considering our options and if Alice continues down this path then such an option may become reality sooner rather than later" Emmet heard Edward click his tongue after his response but he also didn't speak up again and kept his focus solely on Jasper for the rest of the evening.
"I am aware you think of my more childish ways as not the playful affectations they are but more a lack of maturity but I have a very good feeling about this and I for one think it is about time we let Alice spread her wings... she has always been too damn quiet and introspective... we will keep her safe and do what is right" Emmet walked over to the front door and left to go work in the garage as he had made his point firmly and even his own wife was shocked at how her husband was acting and she had to admit she did like how he had finally used some big words for once and correctly also.
"Hmmm... no one come to the garage for a few hours" Rosalie said with lust in her eyes and Jasper made Edward laugh as he said 'I'll go grabs the ear plugs again' and actually went to go grab some which forced Carlisle to palm his whole hand into his face and grownnin an awkward fashion.
He would have to wait for Esme to return to see how to proceed and right now he really didn't have a good grasp on what he should do.
~~*
Alice had paced around her room so frantically as she tried to gain some control of her unusual anger and nothing she was doing to try and calm herself down was working until she walked over to one of her many book shelves and began to prepare the books she wanted to give Bella when they spent time together at school tommorow. She had a few very informative books and also included 'Drawing on the right side of the brain' as she had found it unbelievably helpful when trying to improve her craft and formulate healthy habits in drawing.
She even began to wrangle together some art supplies and was annoyed as she heard a light knock on her door but she threw her books and supplies down on her perfectly made bed and glided silently towards her cracked door and wasn't suprised to see Esme standing behind the splintered wood with a look of deep concern plastered across her flawless features.
"May I come in my dear, I think we need to talk about this like adults" Esme didn't wait for a response as Alice stepped to the side and let her inside without a single word in response and she remained stoic as Esme tried to find the words to best suit the situation.
"I never knew you even used those kind of words, Emmet and Jasper are a terrible influence on you aren't they" Esme seemed serious at first but broke the tension between them as a motherly smile perked up the side of her lips and Alice couldn't help but chuckle along with her.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to explode, it's just that I don't need everyone acting like i'm some bloodthirsty new born on the prowl" Alice frowned in annoyance and it was a strange face to wear in front of her adoptive mother who had never seen Alice act in this way the entire time she had known her. This was normal for her other children but Alice had always been so bubbly and full of life when she wasn't engrossed in her art, fashion, books or favourite movies.
"We are just worried about you Alice, we have never seen you like this before. It is new territory and it is not as if we are being unfair or cruel to you, are we?" Esme had asked her that question whilst looking over towards the bed and noticing the books and art supplies she was obviously preparing for this Bella and for a moment she wanted to believe this was actually a push for a new friendship but even she knew the pull of a singer was something to never be ignored.
"You have never been so, But i'm not going to bite Bella... she's interesting is all and i really didn't notice her blood all that much, not like everyone else did anyway" Alice picked out a nice leather satchel she would fill with sketchbooks and supplies for Bella and she chose a leather that would really compliment her powerful brown eyes.
Her visions had come and gone in an instant and she knew the perfect Satchel to hand to her now, one that would make her pretty eyes grow wide with thankfulness and a little shine of something more Alice couldn't quite place at this point in time. She would have to spend alot more time withnher if she was going to read every little micro expression then she just had to spemd every possible moment she could with the girl and that sounded quite wonderful.
"Why her? you've never shown any real interest in humans before, sometimes even we bother you enough you don't speak for weeks but you have always remained cordial and polite" Esme brought over the supplies and books Alice had thrown onto her bed and placed them on her art desk next to her sowing machine as she waited for Alices response.
"I don't know, she is just... interesting to me. She makes me laugh I guess, i mean it's only been one day but" Alice stopped looking through sketchbooks for a moment and tried to find the right words to explain herself in a way her mother could understand what she could barely fathom herself.
"Can you just put some Faith in me and give me some time to see if this kind of friendship is even possible... no teasing, no constant worrying and maybe everything will actually work out wonderfully for once" Alice continued picking out some very nice and pretty sketchbooks of varying sizes and began to put her little present together and Esme couldn't help but smile along with Alice as she seemed to get lost in her own little world and hum a pleasent tune she had never heard before.
Esme watched her daughter glide around her room so effortlessly and filled with such happy feelings she had almost forgot the direness of the whole situation if it wasn't for the reality popping back up a few moments later in the back of her head as Alice picked up an exacto knife for pencil sharpening and Esmes Brain just naturally went to the worst possible place as she imagined her perfect little doll of a daughtee slicing the poor unsuspecting humans throat and drinking deep.
"I can't make those promises Ali but i guess we can try and understand if this is really so important to you" Esme had buckled so quickly she was suprised how hastily her adoptive daughter had rushed into her arms and kissed her all over like a happy little child and not a fully grown vampire who had over a hundred years under her belt, even after she stopped kissing her like a happy little puppy Alice just couldn't stop hugging her.
"You're the best mother i've ever had! well you're the only one i remember but that doesn't mean you're not the greatest!" Alice felt so much relief after Esme told her they would try and understand what she was trying to do that she couldn't let her go until Alice her Esmes marble vampire spine crack just a little and she instantly dropped her and was happy to see Esme laughing at Alices scared features.
"You didn't break me dummy, in fact that felt pretty good. who knew you were such a talented chiropractor, Bellas a lucky girl it seems" Esme dodged a high speed Eraser as Alice chased her around the room after she had began to tease her over Bella so effortlessly the pixie like vampire hadn't seen it coming from her mother in a million years.
"It's not like that mum! stop teasing me or i'll... I'll refuse to make your costume for halloween this year! poor Father will be crying about his bad luck right into the new year" Alice was bluffing as she would never not make any of her family costumes but Esme did believe her for a split second until Alice cracked and apologised after she realised that was probably the cruelest thing she could have said to Esme who absoloutely adored celebrating the holiday with her patchwork family.
"Ok i lied but stop teasing me... I'm weak and cute and shouldn't be handled in such a way you know" Alice out on her best helpless little lamb look but Esme was having none of it and she scruffed up her flawless her much to the younger vampires annoyance gut both were silent as Alice felt her phone vibrate with a text message in her pocket and Esme gave her a concerned look as she fetched the thing to see who was texting her.
As she unlocked the touch screen Alice was happy to see it was Bella and the message read "Hey it's Bella, i just wanted to thank you for helping me so much today and my dad said he really liked the Apple we sketched together today in art class and well... you don't have to if you don't want to but he would like to meet you. He says he has alot of respect for your father carlisle and he would like to meet you but also there's no pressure since Charlie understands you're probably busy" Alice had read the first part of the text out loud and Esme had listened intently.
"She's a very polite young lady isn't she, It seems our local police chief is a rather well rounded man afterall. I thought Carlisle was just being polite when he praised Charlie so often when their jobs collided" Esme found herself also trusting Alice a little bit more as she continued to read the text out loud and her daughters stunning smile couldn't contain itself anymore.
"I really enjoyed my first day and that's all thanks to you... I hope i wasn't too much of a pain or an annoyance to you. I'm also sorry if i kept you after class for too long, I should probably apologise to your sister also since she obviously wanted to go home and spend time with everyone and I kept you all from that. I hope you can forgive me. Well i'm gonna go work on my car and try and diagnose some of the damage, i hope you have a wonderful evening" Alice would have blushed if she still could, yet her hand was close to her breast as she could swear she felt her heart rise into her throat even though that was obviously impossible for anyone, let alone a vampire.
Esme watched Alice with not just concern but also suprise, her daughter was ecstatic and also nervous. Alice was rarely nervous as afterall she could see the future and yet here she was her immortal daughter acting like a lovestruck teenager with a deep and moving crush.
Esme had to shake her head and blink a few times just to convince herself she was actually seeing what she was seeing. "Is the young ladies car in order?" was the only thing Esme could seem to let her mouth form the words for and it knocked Alice right out her internal dialouge and then she herself had problems speaking as her mind went into overdrive trying to form so many thoughts and soloutions to her current problem that she just landed on telling the absoloute truth.
"It's nothing bad, her father brought her some old rust bucket from the reservation and she's trying to renovate the old truck. She's pretty intelligent for a human mum, she's also a really fast learner too" Alice seemed to be almost defending Bella as if it was important to understand how much better this human was than the others they had met and known.
Alices enthusiasm for this girl wasn't falling on deaf ears either and the more they spoke, the more Esme felt like she should just let it run its natural course.
"She doesn't seem to think much of herself but that's fine, I can boost her ego. Bellas funny too and very cute, I know you'll like her alot" Alice finished packing her present for Bella and then stared at her phone for a moment as she thought to herself how she should respond and that's when Esme noticed the slight shake in Alices hand and that's when her eyes darted to Alices and she realised her daughters were still a piercing gold and she was just filled with nerves and obviously didn't know the best way to respond.
"Calm yourself Alice, breath deep and tell her you would love to meet her father but first of all, tell her you also enjoyed your first day back at school with her" Esme had decided to go all in on the mothering and Alice almost squealed in excitement as she realised Esme was trying to help her overcome her nerves and it was working.
"What if i'm being too forward, i don't want to scare her away or anything and Rosalie is always telling me i'm overbearing... what if she's right?" Alice could barely hide her panic and that's when Esme took her daughters hand in her own and soothed her the best she could before setting the record straight.
"Rosalie was messing with you and you know that, also this Bella seems to really like you alot so just steel your nerves and take a deep breath before you respond ok" Esme slid around her daughter and massaged her shouldee as she sat down on her very well padded art stool and spent some time constructing her reply text and even let Esme proof read it before she hit send.
"I'm happy to hear i made your first day alot better and i would love to meet your father, Carlisle always tells us Charlie is a very respectable man so why wouldn't I want to meet him. plus you weren't annoying in the slightest and i have no idea why you would think so, you are very interesting and you shouldn't put yourself down so much. I really enjoyed our classes together. I'm going to convince you to let Rosalie help you with that truck and there's nothing you can do to stop me either. Also my dad still isn't home so you didn't keep me at all. I'll see you bright and early at school tommorow, sleep well" Esme thought such an informal message was more than suitable but Alice continued panicking until Esme just pressed send and didn't even tell her until she got a short reply.
"Sleep well Alice x" Alice knew a single x meant a kiss, she had learnt how to text from Emmet and Rosalie and couldn't believe she was over the moon from such a simple reply and she stared at the messenger screen for longer than she ever had before and seemed to be buzzing with excitement and Esme was struck with memories of how Rosalie felt when she had met Emmet and everything really did click into place for the mother of this vampire coven.
"See, was it that hard to just tell her what you think little darling" Esme kept her thoughts on Alices true feeling since she obviously hadn't realised herself yet but she wohld have to make sure Carlisle was fully aware and thankfully her husband wouldn't tell anyone, especially Edward who would probably react the worst out of all of her children. He really did have a chip on his shouldee about the whole 'evil soulless vampire rubbish' and sometimes even though she never admitted to it, Edward did get on her nerves quite a bit.
"Don't tell anyone, I don't want everyone up in my buisness 24/7 and this is important to me ok" Alice shot up and ran out of her room and straight downstair but couldn#t find Rosalie anywhere and Esme could barely keep up with her graceful daughters fae like movements and gave up as Carlisle screamed to Alice not to go inside the garage.
Seconds later Alice used her full speed to rush bac into the house and voice her disgust at what she had just seen, "Why did nobody warn me they were... doing that in our garage! that should be illegal or something! don't we have any rules of decency in this house!" Alice dramatically cried as she heard the garage door close in the distance and both vampires get straight back down to it.
Carlisle tuened to Esme and couldn't help but chuckle at the scene that had just unraveled in front of him "We need to start putting socks on doors and sound proofing the entire house at this point... How did your talk go my love" Carlisle stifled his chuckle as his dramtic daughter pretended to claw her own eyes out in front of Edward and Jasper who couldn't help but enjoy the reaction to Alice finally catching those two idiots in the act for once.
"Bella asked her over to meet Charlie, i'm sure they'll find the perfect day to do so... i dont think we have much to worry about honey" the last part of the sentence was said at such a low tone in her husbands ear that the loud children they had adopted hadn't a chance of hearing them and considering Edward had started to ribbing Alice over how she was the last one to walk in on Rosalie and Emmet it was safe to say he hadn't read their minds either yet.
"Fine we'll plan accordingly... but seriously, we should really discuss the whole sock on a door handle concept to those two" Carlisle felt his wife kiss his cheek and then walk over to her children and for the first time in 2 hours he felt like life was getting back to normal again.
~~*
Bella could barely sleep after her first day at school and it all had to do with meeting the Statuesque beauty that was Alice Cullen in such a pleasent way that Bella was convinced it had been an adventageous twist of fate for someone as lowly as her to be graced by such a kind and graceous person who also just happened to be the most attractive women she had ever met in her entire life.
She was in bed and under the covers as the urge overcame her for her hand to travel lower and begin touching herself but she decided against it as if she started thinking about Alice Cullen in that way she might never be able to act normal around her ever again and she couldn't risk that. Especially after she came home with the biggest smile her father had ever seen on her face.
He hadn't remembered the last time he had seen Bella so full of life and energy and in all honesty Bella herself couldn't remembee the last time she had been this full on life either. Her heart had been fluttering like crazy since she first met Alice right up until this very moment where she was trying to control her lustful libido and considering how her fingers were now slipping under the hem of her cotton panties she was playing a losing game.
Images of Alice Cullen and how close she was today in their final class flashed behind her closed eyes and she couldn't help but give in as the memory of her scent invaded the forefront of her mind once again as she felt her core tighten and her pussy moisten at the memory of this Faery like girls implausable beauty. In Bellas head she was convincing herself that Alice would never know what she was doing right now and since there was no way Alice would be masturbating to her considering she wasn't that much to look at or atleast so she thought.
She began playing with her wet folds and trying to get off quickly on the memory of Alices touch and it worked so much better as she began to torment her small but violently erect clitoris as furiously as she could. she was rabid with emotions and at the forefront of her mind was lust for a women she had just met and barely knew but none the less her image was getting Bella there so quickly that it was almost impossible for her to stifle her moans.
"Alice... please, use me..." Bella softly moaned to herself in private her mouth under the covers as she whispered her private fantasy for no one but herself to hear and yet secretly she wished Alice knew and would take advantage of that secret knowledge somehow and yet she still told herself that perfectly made women would never look at her twice.
As she continued on she felt her orgasm begin to not only rise at an unhealthy pace but also build violently as she hadn't done this in months and the last time she did her orgasm was so weak and disappointing she almost didn't cum at all. But now her bow was about to break and as she remembered the way Alice had told her there was nothing she could do to stop Rosalie working on her old truck, she wished Alice would force other things upon her.
For some reason she didn't want to admit to even hersslf she loved the idea of Alice just dominating her fully and taking charge, she seemed like a women who would now exactly what to do if she lured her into bed. the reality in Bellas mind is that Alice was probably also a virgin like she was but in her imagination the lithe otherworldly beauty would pin her down to her bed and fuck her until her knees buckled and she popped like warm champagne.
Then she would use her again and again until Bella couldn't walk anymore and as she imagined Alice finger fucking her to ectasy and sealing her orgasm with a deep and passionate neck bite as if she was some sort of sexy vampire pixie whose whole existence was meant to be spent pleasuring her.
Bella bit down hard on her bed covers as her Orgasm exploded forth from her tightening core and she almost cried and lost her vision as she came so hard she could barely breath anymore and she had trouble finding her breath to try and ride out the wave oh her earth shattering vampire Alice based orgasm.
Minutes later she was splayed out on her bed with no more cover as she finally managed to recover from her private sin session and she really had to change her panties before going to sleep and maybe open the window as well so she can cool down and get a damn hold of herself again before she decided to go for a second round of delicious Alice based private fantasies.
She pryed herself from hee bed and rushed to her chest of drawers and pulledout a fresh pair of panties and cleaned herself up in her en-suite bathroom and returned to the room a few minutes later and left the window slightly ajar as she took a few deep and fresh breaths before diving back into her bed and falling asleep with a deeply Satisfied smile on her face that would be her own private little secret since no one would ever know how much of a lesbian she was in private anyway.
Alice would never know and that made her evening all the more pleasurable since she was convinced Alice was straight but in her head she was anything but.
~~*
Alice had got ready early and dressed in something more casual than usual, some tight black jeans with some very strategic rips in them and some blue white converse that ehe found absurdly comfortable. her belt was simple and leather but her top was a cute blue blouse covered by a short leather jacket she thought Bella might like to see her in. She didn't know why it mattered that Bella see her in such a way but she wanted her to look if she was honest with herself, Alice wanted to impress her even if she refused fo admit why.
The tiny vampire grabbed her school bag and also the beautiful leather satchel she planned to gift to Bella when she found the perfect time to do so and rushed out of the door and into the garage to quickly dive into her car and make her way to the local coffee shop as she had a plan to pretend to drink her own coffee whilst she brought and watched Bella enjoy her own.
She had a vision around 2am that Bella would walk into her by complete accident and they would enjoy a coffee together before school and the idea of that vision coming true had filled Aice with a new passion to greet the morning. She sped out of out the garage at a dangerous speed as she spotted the time and realised if hs didn't speed to the coffee stop she might miss Bella and her coffee date plan would be ruined.
Edward watched from his bedroom window butt naked with Jasper playfully kissing his neck and asking him 'where was Alice off to so early in the morning' and he replied with a low and passionate growl emnating from his predatory throat as Jaspers hand travelled to more pleasurable pastures.
"She's rushing to the coffee shop after having a vision of herself and Bella sharing a morning coffee date together... and i thought we were the gay ones" Edward joked As Jasper threw him back into bed and began to ravish him one last time before they had to shower and get to school for a long and boring day as a highschooler for what felt like the 100th time.
"We could do brunch, but that more like a hike and a hunting trip for us... maybe i can find a little umbrella those humans put in alcholic drink and enjoy some pigs blood Carisle ordered when Rosalie has those new cups delivered" Jasper was getting to work and moaning with reckless abandon, not caring who heard him as he pleasured his beautiful lovers thick, veiny member.
"Rosalie has ordered me a giant pink cock cup as some childish joke her and Emmet came up with in the middle of the night, they don't even care that i know, they are both giggling about it in their room right now" Edwards eyes rolled back in his head and he moaned greatfully before he began to hear everyone get up and get ready for their days.
Alice was a little speed demon and used her visions to avoid the speed cameras and any possible problems she could have got in before slowing down as she got into the main strip of town and slowly parked next to Bellas truck which was in dire need of some special care and attention from her blonde sister who actually did want to get under its hood but she would have to convince Bella to let that happen somehow.
She left the present for Bella in her silver Porsche and exited the car with her purse in hand and glided across the cold wet car park in a hurry but being acutely focused on the fact she was now in public and had to slow herself down and make her movements seem more human as to not freak anyone out and blow her cover, no matter how delicious the scent of her new friend was so early on a rajny morn.
She slipped into the barely open coffee shop and spied Bella behind a rough looking trucker who seemed like he would fall asleep right where he was standing if it wasn't for his extra large can of redbull and 48 hour energy mix he was currently nursing in his huge and roughened up hands. Alice had made her way into the coffee shop at a moderate pace and stood directly behind Bepla and wondered how long it would take the young girl to notice her presence.
To Alices suprise it was seconds as she watched her nose twitch and her soft and subtle realisation that she had know that scent from somewhere, her family would think Bella posessed vampire senses if they saw how quickly she turned on her heels and was pleasently suprised to see me standing right behind her and removing my sun glasses which were completly impractical but very movie atar esque and she did like dressing to impress.
"Morning beautiful, fancy meeting you here" Alice whispered as to draw any attention from the few patrons the only coffee shop in town served at 7 o'clock in the morning on a tuesday, she tried to make it sound like she had barely woken up but instead managed to get somewhere between just woken up and very sultry which caused a cute slight blush to rise in Bellas cheeks but she quickly gained control of herself.
"Alice, either you're stalking me or desperate for a coffee" Bella grinned as Alice closed the distance between them both and stood side by side with her as she pretended to peruse the menu as if she hadn't seen both their orders in her vision and was happily following the script this morning.
"Why not both, can't stalk cute girls without a shot of espresso... that's the bare minimum" Alice leaned into to whisper her response in Bellas left ear and she noted how the small hairs on the back oh her neck stood on end as a pleasurable shiver ran through the girl who was obviously becoming the one and only object of her desires.
"Well i hope you find those cute girls but i'll stick to a gingerbread latte since i'm trying to go cold turkey on cute girl stalking past time, what are you having anyway" Bella watched as Alice perused the menu but pretended she couldn't find anything she really wanted and turned to face Bella.
"I'm barely awake right now, so my brains all frazzled, what would you recommend?" Alice watched as Bella panicked and tried to figure what on earth she could recommed the taller and much more stylish girl but as she was thinking about it the big trucker took his order and sat down leaving them both at the front of the line and it was Alices time to spring into action.
"Two gingerbread Lattes please" Alice gave Bella a cute little smile which instantly relaxed the young human girl as she realied Alice had decided to just have what she was having and save her the embarrasement of making a coffee order faux pas.
"I've never tried one before and you seem to have great taste in things, might as well follow the leader" Alice placed down some crisp dollar bills and received her change rather quickly and deposited it inside her wallet and deep into her school bag as the barista made their order for them as they patiently waited unable to stop looking at each other.
"We could sit down at the back there if you want, place is kinda empty so no one is going to disturb us" Alice whispered low enough so only Bella could hear what she had said and thankfully it seemed like the few patrons currently sitting down to enjoy their coffees were too tired to even pay attention to their own hands, let alone both of them.
"I would like that, as long as I'm not keeping you from anything right?" Bella nervously cracked a smile and Alice could see that she really did believe the taller pixie girl had somewhere better to be rather than right here with only her right now. which was crazy since she really didn't and never did but maybe she didn't want to reveal to Bella she was basically a social recluse just yet.
"Where else would I ever want to be, You're right here Bella" Alice turned to receive both Lattes and began to move to the back seats but had to turn and cock her head a little as if to say to Bella who was stunned in place 'You're coming right?' and she snapped out of her shocking reverie and almost skipped over to Alice before they began to make their way to the back of the Coffee shop to get some privacy even though they were still in a window seat.
Unfortunately most of the seats were window seats because of how the shop was oriented but Alice didn't mind one bit as they sat under a mix of flurescent light and grab gray blue Forks light that really hit Bella in the most charming way. Alice felt like as if she had a heart it would beat right out of her chest right now and she focused herself to stop feeling like some kind of lovestruck schoolgirl.
She wouldn't admit to herself it was a crush though, to her it was new friend gitters. Something she had came up with last night before she had her vision of their shared conversation this morning and ran around like a headless chicken until she set herself right and decided she would follow the visions script fully as to not ruin the moment.
"I'm happy I ran into you so early this morning actually Bella, It gives me a chance to hand you something before school" Alice pretended to take a sip of the gingerbread latte and pretended to be shocked at how delicious it was and was careful to not over do the act as she wasn't trying to get caught or freak Bella out or anything.
Bella was obviously confused at first but then she was bubbly and filled with happy emotions as she believed Alice had really enjoyed the gingerbread flavored concotion they were both drinking right now and it made her heart skip a beat before she remembered Alice aaid she wanted to 'hand her something' before school and she went straight back to being confused again.
"What do you want to hand me before school... wait did i leave one of my books in class or something?" Bella was about to search her bag before Alice shot her hand out and placed her ice cold hand against Bellas own much warmer hand which was wrapped around her coffee cup and both girls stared at each other longingly before they finally seperated and tried to pretend like nothing had happened at all.
"No I have a gift for you but I left it in my car, i could go and get it right now or we could finish our lattes and grab it then... no pressure" Alice pretended to drink again as to keep up the farce and she was sure she had been convincing as Bella was looking at her as her vision had shown her only hours before and it made her mind swim with how easy it was for Alice to enjoy speaking to this beautiful human who just appeared out of nowhere one day.
"You really like giving out gifts huh?" Bella lightly chuckled as she thought Alice was just being eccentric but was shocked as Alices face hardened a little and she refuted Bellas words with a soft sweetness that threw her for a loop as she began to slowly realise Alice wasn't being nice because that's just how she was, no... she was being nice to her alone and it began to weigh on Bella in an odd way.
"I like giving you gifts, I don't really go around being altruistic for the sake of it you know" Alice looked hurt as she realised Bella had just thought she was a kind and extroverted person and not solely focused on her and her alone.
Bella stuttered an "Ummm..." and looked about confused as she really couldn't believe what she was hearing but tried to understand until Alice broke her prematurely out of her thoughts with her calm and somber voice.
"Forget about it, I'll just take this to go" Alice hadn't seen Bellas question and was panicking internally but was as cool as a cucumber on the outside and Bella was almost frozen in fear as she really didn't want Alice to go and now she realised she had let her stupid mouth get away with her and managed to hurt Alices feeling somehow and that was the last thing she had wanted to do.
Bella shot forward without thinking and aplogised without really knowing why she was doing so at all "I'm sorry, please, you don't have to go..., I'm just not used to who you are yet!" her desperation was evident but it was refreshing and it saved Alice from leaving when she didn't really want to at all and was failing to come up with a way to stay and not make it seem odd or forced.
"Thank god, you know I really didn't know what i would of done if i actually had to leave Bella" Alice wipes some imaginary sweat from her perfect brow and Bella seemed to be dazzled by Alices admission of her reluctance to leave and it warmed her heart that Alice was so openly relieved she didn't have to go and leave the confused girl alone in a dour old coffee shop in the middle of Forks.
"I don't want you to leave either, you just confuse me is all" Bella took a deep and refreshing chug of her hot latte before she continued speaking and couldn't help but get lost in Alices eyes as she did.
"You're very kind and open, I kinda wish i could be like that too but I'm really not you know. I have no idea why you would even want to be anywhere near me to be completely honest with you" Bella said those words and then just couldn't even look Alice in the eyes any more and Alice decided to do something drastic and unexpected to try and make Bella understand that she was happy to be right here in the now with only her.
Alice stood up and and switched sides and scooted over to Bella so she was hip to hip with her and before Bella could panic she snatched her soft fragile human hand effortlessly underneath the table and looked her directly in her earthy brown eyes gut could barely hold her attention as Bella tried to look anywhere she could that wasn't Alice and her perfect blue jewels most people would call eyes.
Alice waited for a moment until Bella calmed down and softly whispered how she really felt and prayed to anyone who would listen that Bella would finally understand her as good as anyone could in this world.
"I adore being near you, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not Bella... I just enjoy you and I hope you will learn to enjoy me too" Alices whisper was sultry and seductive and Bellas mind had yoyo'd between innocence and the gutter a hundred times a second and she had no control over it.
"How about you accept me for who i am, with all the bells and whistles and you'll let me accept you for who you are... no questions asked" Alice was tenerly rubbingher thumb against the back of Bellas hand. and Bella realised she had to admit the cold marble fingers of this heavenly pixie had a wonderfully soothing effect on her and there was no way in hell Bella would ever be straight again for as long as she lived and you could take that to the bank.
"I would like that very much, Alice" Bellas brain was swimming on cloud nine with it's own private bar and sexy bikini clad models as Alice refused to let Bellas hand go and continued to enjoy theprivate moment between each other until her vampire hearing perked up and she realised Jessica had just walked in and she would have to cut this short if she wanted to get Bella alone in the parking lot and give her the gift she planned for her yesterday.
"Then come with me and accept my little gift for you before we spend the day getting bored out of our heads by stuffy old english teachers and that one creepy maths teacher you haven't had the misfortune of meeting yet" Alice let a coy smile bless her lips to make Bella see that she was also nervous and it was nothing to be ashamed of, she needed to show Bella she wasn't someone to be put up on such a high pedestal.
"If we go right now will you stop holding my hand?" Bella asked as she tightened her own grip on Alices slender digits and she made it clear in that moment without words that she didn't want Alice to let go and that cause the vampires coy smile to turn into a blissful grin.
"I guess so... I don't know how many heart attacks we would be responsible for if people in this town saw two very pretty girls holding hands... my dads a great doctor but he can't raise the dead Bella" Alice stifled a laugh and Bella chuckled a little before she looked back up to Alices piercing ocean blue eyes and found herself breathing just a little bit heavier than she had before.
"Maybe we should stay here a little bit longer then, atleast until all the geriatric homophobes move on... I don't wanna be responsible for the deaths of senior truckers and loggers before i've even graduated" Bella hadn't notice Jessica clock both of them from the counter and thankfully she couldn't see how close they really were since the booths cut of just enough to make it look like just two friends talking about any number of things.
"So after graduation it's all fair game, Full on trucker murderer. Wow! you've got some wild post graduation plans... most people just experiment in college and get stupid drunk ya know" Alice raised a cheeky eyebrow and couldn't bslieve she had managed to get such a cute little chuckle out of Bella.
"They'll never see it coming! that's what makes it such a good plan... plus Police chiefs daughter, I might be able to pull atleast one get outta jail free card if i play it right" The cute wavy haired brunette loved playing along with thess weird hypotheticals and Alice found her playfulness to be one of her favorite qualities so far.
"I'm not a fan of the criminal Bella path, I'm gonna have to drag you to college so we can get drunk and experiment... people will never know of my heroic sacrifice for them all! it's so poetic, so tragic..." Alice used her free hand to dramtically act out her theatrical passion play that caused Bella to chuckle harder as she couldn't believe Alice had it in her to act so silly when she was built like a wondrous greek sculpture.
"Sounds like a great deal to me..." Bellas face suddenly dropped as she spied Jessica coming towards them at speed and Alice quickly turned to realise she had forgotten to check on Jessica again after she had clocked the annoying young girl with her advanced vampire hearing and silently chided herself for losing focus so easily.
"Really Jessica, god damn it" Alice chided under her breath low enough for only Bella to barely catch what she had said and her heart grew heavy as she slowly put a little bit of extra space between herself and Bella. Their hands slowly parted reluctantly and both placed their hands down on the shiny red leather seats which should have been outlawed after the 80's ended but somehow persisted.
Alices middle finger was just close enough that she could still connect to Bellas without Jessica realising what they were doing and that idea kind of excited the older vampire more than she could of ever thought it would have. their own little secret hidden in plain sight.
"Hey Bella! Alice... guess we all had the same idea eh!" Jessica shook her cup carefully and gave them both an odd look as she had a strange feeling that she had interrupted something she probably shouldn't have but it was instantly forgotten the moment Alice turned on the charm.
"Wow! what a small world we live in... you just missed Edward and Jasper as well. shame you didn't get here sooner, they were in a really good mood this morning" Alice turned to Bella and gave her a wink as if to say 'play along and we might just get out of this' to which Bella silently obliged before opening her mouth to speak.
"Kinda shocked he was in such a good mood actually, yesterday he seemed miserable" Bella brushed the tip of her middle finger against Alices when she was sure Jessica wasn't looking but judging by Alices subtle reponse and wry smile she was definetly ok with Bella trying to steal a secret touch once again.
Jessica actually seemed to perk up herself as if she had some secret plan ready to spring into motion any second now and Alice actually began to consider she may have made a mistake by continuously throwing her vempire brother under the bus again. although at the same timehe refused to stay out of her head so if you think about it being accosted by a horny Jessica was really just a very odd form of retribution for his invasive crimes.
"I hope Edwards doing well, he always seem so high strung and nervous whenever I try to speak to him in the halls" Jessica said truthfully and Alice leaned over to grab hold of her Gingerbread latte and pretend to drink it once again to keep up appearences and funnily enough Jessica didn't even react so it must of meant she was doing a good job of fake drinking.
"Yeah Edwards always nervous around cute girls, he is a guy Jess... it's kinda hard for a guy not to be nervous around someone as pretty as you" Alice brushed Bellas fingers this time with her own and Bella although hating the fact Alice just called Jessica cute and pretty in the same sentence, she couldn't help but crave her touch even more.
Jessica went beat red as she couldn't believe Alice Cullen who was considered tied for prettiest girl in school with her sister Rosalie had just complimented her looks so openly and not only that but implied Edward Cullen who was easily the prettiest boy in School might think sheis pretty.
"I ummm, I should get going... cause i don't wanna be late but it was great to see you both... catch you at lunch guys" Jessica disappeared so quickly Alice finally let her held in breath escape her lips and she gave Bella a look as if she had just been to war with the poor girl.
Bella let her hand slowly inch closer and eagerly take the petite vampires slender fingers in her own. "Edward is gonna kill you Alice, even I can tell he has no interest whatsoever in her" Bella then edged closer to Alice and she liked this more take charge version of Bella and she was about to blow the cute girls mind once she told her why Edward had no interest in Jessica.
"Can you keep a secret Bella?" Alice took her chance to lean closer and whisper the most unexpected revelation in her ear the moment Bella said yes.
"If it's that Edward and Jasper are gay yeah... kinda obvious" Bella made sure no on was looking and then clean close enough that her warm breath tickled the paralyzed vampires ears and sent a pleasent sensation deep into her center she dpcould no longer ignore.
"You should tell me to stop looking at each other like pieces of meat during school, plus Edward is obviously repulsed by all women. you would have to be blind to not notice it Alice" Bella was tempted to nibble Alices ear lobe but she didn't want to push anything she shouldn't. Hell she wasn't even really sure if Alice was gay like her or just really touchy feely and a free spirit like her own hippie mother.
Alice couldn't speak for a moment as Bella just blurted out one of her family secrets like it was nothing at all and should have been totally obvious to everyone whondidn't have their head shoved so far up their own ass to the point of blinding themselves.
"Your the first one... man, we were gonna hide it and everything when you come over this saturday, guess that's out getting chucked out the window" Alice shook her head to clear it but her plan didn't quite work out like she had wanted it too it had just made Alice look even cuter and quirkier and her obvious shock and nervous disposition over outing her brother made Bella like her even more.
"I couldn't care less if you're adopted brothers are gay, being gay's not a bad thing at all... it's just natural and right for some people you know" Bella kept her voice low but filled with love and understanding and Alice felt as if there was something between them that was being left unsaid between them and it should have been obvious for them both but it turns out Alice was conflating love with friendship and Bella didn't believe someone as perfect as this flawless beauty would ever show any real sexual interest in her.
"So you're cool with that... i mean alot of people wouldn't be and i wouldn't tell you if i didn't think I could trust you Bella" Alice couldn't take it anymore she had to hand Bella her gift and it couldn't wait anymore as she stood up and grabbed hold of their lattes and told Bella to follow her into the parking lot which she did without any protest at all.
Bella followed Alice closely and was suprised to see Alice had parked right next to her and as they neared the two most oddly paired cars Alice handed Bella her Latte once more and walked around to and opened her passenger side door and picked up the cutest leather satchel Bella had ever seen.
Alice rushed back around after placing her Latte into the porsches cup holder, something no one would know she had never used before and the act of using a cup hokder was so foreign to Alice she was a little worried she may have used it wrong.
Although as she came back around to Bella who was standing there wide eyed and effulgent.
"I thought you would need some decent art supplies and this satchel just spoke to me, kind of thought it would suit you"Alice opened the satchel to reveal some very expensive looking art supplies which forced Bellas jaw to drop as she realised how much care and attention Alice had really spent on what she considered a small gift.
"I chose the best sketchbooks and pencils i have, more charcoal then and erasers then you probably know what to do with yet and load of other small things i'll teach you how to use if you like" Alice didn't hand Bella the satchel she placed it over her shoulder as it should be and it hung on her perfectly delicious hips as if the Satchel had always been there.
Bella blushed and cleared her throat to try and stop all the right blood from rushing to all the wrong places.
"Would you wanna come to my house tommorow night, maybe watch a movie or something?" Bella was smitten and anyone looking at the two could have easily seen there was an unspoken connection between them both but if they noticed it themselves it would probably be considered a small miracle at this point.
"Only if you spend lunch with me today" Alice was pushing the limits of her very basic flirting ability but she couldn't help but enjoy the way Bella reacted and it was slowly turning into an addiction, but also a useful trick to help her ignore the singing blood which lurked just below the skin of her neck that she secretly wished she could plant kisses upon but was scared to do so just in case she ended up scaring Bella away.
"Deal! wait, what kind of movies are you into?" Bella was so quick to seal the deal she quickly vocalised how she had no idea what Alice would even enjoy watching but the petite pale statue of a women quickly offered her own selection of Audrey Hepburn movies and that was when Bella had revealed she had never actually seen Breakfast at Tiffanys.
"Right we're watching breakfast at Tiffanys, how have you never seen one of the best films ever made! then Roman Holiday of course" Alice was now hyperactive and Bella was just watching her vibrate with happiness as she was Explaining to her adorable little human friend why Audrey Hepburn was the single greatest actress or actor of all time.
Alice had talked Bellas ear of for 10 whole minutes until she realised they should probably on to achool before she subjected Bella Swan to another 10 minutes of Silver screen greats and although she looked interested in what Alice had to say the taller vampire girl knew she had to stop herself soon or they would never get out of this car park until night fall.
"I had no idea you were such a Audrey Hepburn fan. I'll have to grab some snacks and we'll make an evening of it, but first school" Bella wanted to move but she couldn't for the simple fact Alice had moved in closer and she could barely breath as the pixies cherry scent invaded her sense and she was thankful for the first time this morning they would be having gym class for two periods.
"I'll see you in gym class then, I've got a mean spike so you better watch out for that if we end up on different volleyball teams" Alice grinned happily and rolled her tongue along the front of her perfectly white teeth and Bella felt herself shudder in jealousy that her juicy pink tongue was in her mouth right now and exploring with reckless abandon.
"Bet i could take you without even breaking a sweat, Can't have you getting too cocky Alice. How would i ever be able to face you at lunch if i let you thrash me so easily?" Bella had no idea where her own ego was coming from right now as she had zero volleyball experience and her clumsyness was almost legendary to anyone who had ever met her. But she couldn't let Alice see her as weak and fragile, she wanted to show her she wasn't some kind of doll who needed to be dressed up and kept out of harms way, she was a woman, a passionate women.
"Oh Bella, do you think I can't make you sweat... long and hard? i like this competitiveness in you... it's endearing" Alice brushed a few stray hairs back behind Bellas ear and she blushed wildly but still tried to maintain eye contact.
"We better hurry to School or we'll be late and i shouldn't be late on only my second day" Bella made her way to her truck and Alice followed suit as she stepped into her Porsche and before she pulled out she blew Bella a playful kiss and then shortly after she was gone on her way to school at an ungodly speed. Bella chuckled as she realised Alice had no respect for the local speed limit or traffic laws and she definetly had a unrequieted crush on the prettiest girl in school.
Bella let her fingers run across the fine leather of the satchel Alice had gifted her just moments ago and she felt her heart swell in an influx of pleasent emotions she was only just begining to understand.
After a minute of thinking to herself and then slapping her own silly thoughts back down to the back of her mind where she believed they belonged, she put her key into the ignition port and eventually got the old beast working so she could exit the parking lot and drive at a reasonable speed towards Forks high school and hopefully steal a glimpse of Alice Cullen changing into her Sports uniform.
