Bella? Is that you?

Chapter 9

It's been 2 weeks, Alice and I have been getting closer, but I'm still in the spare room. Kate was staying. I mean, actually staying. She had a massive argument with Tanya, I'm not sure what it was about but she wasn't going back. Leah seemed happy about that. Well, not about the fight, that upset Kate. But, she was happy that Kate was going to be around.

I was staring out at the forest, in my room. I had been feeling a bit restless and decided to phase, and was now staring out at the forest.. I heard the door open, and turned to see who it was. She smiled, when she saw me. She sat on the bed, looking at me. She could see that I wasn't feeling great.

"Hey, are you OK?"

I walked over to her, and she started scratching behind my ears. I jumped up on the bed and sat next to her. I lay down and lay my head on her knee. She laughed, looking down at me.

"Someone's feeling better."

I sat up and phased.

"Yeah, I was ....... I don't know. I wasn't feeling great."

She moved a closer to me and took my hand. I was getting better at being closer to her, and was able to cuddle with her a little.

"What about now?"

I tugged her a little closer and she cuddled into my side. I kissed the top of her head, looking down at her.

"What's everyone else doing?"

"Rosalie is busy with Bret. Emmett's with Adam. Leah dragged Kate out of the house 20 minutes ago. Carlisle is in his study and Esme went out."

So, everyone was busy. Wait, Leah dragged Kate out of the house?

"Leah .......... Wait, what?"

Alice laughed, and looked up at me.

"Yeah. I was downstairs, and Leah walked out, dragging Kate behind her. Kate wasn't exactly resisting. You know what Leah's like, she's excited that Kate's staying."

I understood that she was excited, but dragging Kate out of the house.

"I know that, but still dragging her out of the house?"

Alice shook her head, sitting up.

"She's excited about that, and the fact Kate didn't reject her."

I nodded, and Alice moved closer. I leaned down and kissed her. I was getting more used to this, and Alice understood that I was kinda nervous, but I was trying to get past it.

"Is this OK?"

To answer her question, I wrapped my arm around her. Yes, I was feeling ........... Excited. But, I was trying to focus on Alice.

"It's OK."

She kissed me, and sat up. I frowned and she just smiled.

"Wanna watch a movie?"

She looked at the TV I had in my room, and back at me.

"Sure. Pick whatever you want."

She picked something and sat next to me. I was sitting with my knees up to my chest, with my arms around them. She looked at the way I was sitting, and shook her head.

"Now, we can't have that, can we?"

She put her hand on my knee and tugged. I straightened my knees and she moved, so she was sitting in between my knees, leaning back against me. I wanted her to sit next to me and cuddle, but I couldn't exactly say that now.

Uh oh.

I took a deep breath, trying to focus on the movie, rather than the position we were in and not exactly succeeding. She moved in my lap, and .............. There was no ignoring it now.
