I love you, always. ~ twilight ~

" I can't believe you guys wouldn't let me go with Bella." Aleena huffs, angrily curling into the covers of her mates kind sized bed more.

"After last time? No chance love." Aleena rolled her eyes, she understood why the Cullens wouldn't let her go see Jacob with Bella but she still decided to be petty about it.

Jasper sat on a chair in the corner of the room reading a book while Alice was in the wardrobe pre-planning outfits for all three of them for her graduation party.

"Fine but since you've stopped me doing that I WILL be helping in the fight against the newborns"

After the family discussion the whole family had made it clear that despite what benefits it would bring they did not want Aleena joining the fight.

At Aleena's comment Jasper simply smiles and shakes his head.

"You infuriate me." Aleena grumbles and that's when Alice makes her appearance coming from the walk in closet and coming to sit next to Aleena on the bed,

"Stop being moody or you'll be getting no cuddles tonight." Aleena only pouts more at this.

"C'mon love I can hear Esme is done making your food." The three go downstairs and Aleena skips over to the table in the kitchen after saying a thank you to Esme to be polite despite not being hungry... or pretending she isn't.
Out the corner of her eye she sees her lovers stop at the door as Jasper gives a quick peck to Alice before leaving, presumable to hunt and Alice makes her way over the room.
Aleena can't help but frown, it's clear the three were mated and that Aleena felt strong emotions for the two vampires however she worried they didn't feel quite the same and perhaps were just with her due to the mate bond. After all, they had yet to be intimate in any way other then cuddling. Too in her own thoughts, she doesn't notice Alice come to stand next to her as she mixes up her spaghetti,

"You alright love?" Alice asks gently and Aleena's head shoots up and forced a smile,

"Yup, but I'm full so..." Aleena stands and is quick to get out the room going up to Alice and Jaspers shared room. Alice isn't far behind after frowning at the girls full bowl.

"What's wrong my love?"

"Do you like me?" Aleena blurts quickly turning to face Alice from the window and a look of shock crossed the pixie-like girls face but before she can respond her mate is speaking again.

"Like obviously part of you HAS to because of the mate bond so you're with me but without that forced part... do you and Jasper even like me? Romantically that is..."

Alice frowns, upset that her mate feels the need to ask this, and she is quick to go over to the girl placing a delicate, cold hand on her cheek.

"Of corse we do baby. How could you think otherwise?" Aleena begins blushing before she even gets a syllable out,

"Well um it's just that well i- we haven't done anything like romantic really and I feel like, well that maybe you don't find me attractive enough to like kiss or jus-" Alice shuts the girls stuttering rant off with her lips pressing hard against the witches and Aleena's eyes widen but before she could reciprocate the kiss Alice is pulling away.

"Love we just didn't know your pace and didn't want to push any boundaries. We know you're under a lot of stress, we all are and speaking for myself I would have kissed you the first moment I saw you in that cafeteria if I could've we just wanted to make sure you were comfortable."

Aleena grins and her arms quickly come to her girlfriends face and she gently presses her lips to Alice who smiles against the kiss pressing harder with all her emotions flowing into the kiss. When the two pull away they continue to just looking into each other's eyes smiling.

"I'd like to make it clear that that is definitely in my boundaries. As is anything else I'm a very.... Hands on person." Aleena winks and she swears if Alice was human she'd be as red as a tomato right now.

"Good to know... and from sounds down the hall I'm guessing Jasper is back and is also well aware." Alice smiles sheepish and Aleena smirks.

"What would i do without you two."

"Perish. Lucky for you you'll never have to know." Alice pecks Aleena once more before dragging the girl out the room to take her home.
