All We Are

All We Are

It had been three weeks and four days since my sudden admission of love to Alice in the woods. I was never one to say I had a best day but that was, and I knew always would be, the best day of my life. She had carried me home and made me soup and cuddled with me on the couch for the remainder of the day. The simple sincerity of all of it made me realize how true our love was.

Love. It was wonderful. She had said something about us being in a honeymoon stage, this feeling of never wanting to part and just be together all the time. I didn't tell her but I knew we wouldn't of fallen out of this honeymoon stage.

I snapped back to reality as she drove her Infiniti into the driveway of my house. We had gone grocery shopping after school, a change from our usual plan of holing up inside my room and doing homework and kissing. We hadn't gone much beyond kissing, as much as I wanted too. Alice had explained that it wasn't a question of not wanting to, it was more of when she could.

The vampire thing was still a minor detail in my mind but Alice informed me that my blood called out to her stronger than anyone she had ever met. A compliment and a warning I felt. I had to remember that my girlfriend was a vampire.

"Bella?" Alice's voice rang out, pulling my back into the car and with her. I shook my head and looked at her.

"Yeah?" I ask absent-mindedly.

"You alright? We're here." I looked up, remembering we had just gotten to the driveway. Nobody made my thoughts stray like her. I smiled and leaned over, giving Alice a quick kiss and a nod.

"Fine. Just day-dreaming." She gave me a look but accepted it and got out, reaching my door before my hand even reached the handle. I looked up for the car and gave her my own little look.

"Can you act a little more normal around my neighbors?" I teased. She just flashed a smile and shook her head. I laughed and got out, gathering all of my belongings and a few bags.

Alice took the rest and followed me inside to the kitchen. I set the bags on the table and started pulling a few things out to put away. After I finished the first bag I knocked it to the ground and continued with my task at hand.

I turned to look at Alice, who had stopped and was examining one of the purchases. She had an evil grin on her lips as she eyed the box. I forced my eyes of her face and to the box. Pancake mix.

"Alice don't you dare." I warned backing away from her. I hit the kitchen sink, my back to the window as she closed in on me. Granted I didn't want to be covered in pancake mix but getting pinned down by Alice, well that didn't happen as often as I like.

"I thought you like pancakes though." I watched as she slowly took a step towards me. I was suppressing my own smile while her smile was in full view of anyone who wanted to see. She took another step and this time reached me.

She pushed her hips down into me. I bit my lip, wanting to moan just from that touch. God she drove me wild even if she didn't mean too. Her arms found their way to either side of my waist, the box to my side. She pushed again. I bit harder at my own lip, careful not to bite hard enough to draw blood.

Her head slowly tilted up towards mine. She was collecting her winnings. My eyes fluttered shut as I felt her cool breath dance across my parted lips. Her hands were on my back, nails lightly dragging over my clothed skin. She needed to hurry up and kiss me.

My hands found their way to her cheeks, guiding her lips closer to mine. She let me pull her a little closer. Our lips grazed each other's and as I went to pull her into a complete kiss, she sighed and pulled away. What. The. Hell?
