CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR PAPER CUT
THEA is wearing a dress. A stunning one. A brown with a voluminous slanted slit. There is a beautiful jewel in the middle and two strands that tie behind her neck to keep it together.
Thea was so upset about the library incident that she simply stood there as everyone else did the work. She watched as Esme set up the roses and Rosalie lit the candles that could surely burn the entire place down.
Emmett comes down the steps, wrapping his arm around Thea. "Why the pout, little sister?"
Thea was glaring at Alice, who seemed to wear a bigger smile than usual as she finished setting up. "I hate this house."
Emmett follows Thea's glare, "the house? Or Alice?" He grins.
"I hate her too." Thea mumbles.
Emmett squints, "I doubt that."
Alice looks to her wife, "Sweetheart, can you light these candles and put them on the window frames, please?" She was wearing an innocent smile.
Thea takes them, or more so snatches them, "I should light you on fire." She mumbles.
Alice turns back to her, still wearing a smile, "what was that?"
Thea mimics her fake smile, clearly annoyed, "oh nothing." She goes to light the candles.
Rosalie and Emmett share an amused smile at the two.
A few minutes later, the family hears Bella pulling up in the driveway with Edward. "They're here!" Alice claps.
"Great." Thea and Rosalie say in unison.
Thea suddenly feels her mood brighten. She wasn't happen but she wasn't as angry either. She frowns, her eyes sanding the room and seeing Jasper at the top of the staircase. "Very funny."
"Your...frustration...was beginning to bother me." Jasper chuckles as he walks down. "Whatever it is that Alice did, I'm sure she didn't mean it." He tries to defend his best friend.
"Oh, but she did." Thea pushes her tongue against her cheek., her eyes gazing at her wife. Jasper chuckles, patting her shoulder before moving further down.
Thea takes a deep breath as Bella and Edward walk in. Esme walks over and wraps her hand around Thea's shoulder before kissing her temple.
"Sorry about all this." Carlisle apologizes to Bella, "we tried to rein Alice in."
Esme steps over to Bella, chuckling, "as if that's even possible." She hugs her. "Happy birthday, Bella."
