Oh god not again...

"Bella! Look at these gorgeous earrings! I think you should get them, they're so cute. I wish I could pierce my ears, I'm so jealous! Do you like them? You do! Yay, I'll be right back."

Staring after Alice as she skipped over to the sales counter, I wondered for the hundredth time how she could find this much enjoyment from spending so much money. Esme, Rose, Alice and I had been out shopping in Tacoma city centre for the past 2 hours. We'd left Forks by 6am and with Rosalie's crazy driving, arrived in Tacoma by 9am. Our first stop was the nearest nail salon. Surprisingly, I'd really enjoyed having a manicure and pedicure and couldn't stop glancing at my French tip polish admiringly.

Then the pixie hurricane had really started to enjoy herself. Leading us around to any shops that caught her attention with squeals of excitement and giddy ramblings. After our first shop we each exited with two bags full of Alice approved clothing and accessories. The pixie was down right hysterical in her happiness. By our third shop my bags had multiplied into 6 bags and were beginning to weigh me down, so we had taken them to the car before starting all over again. The strangest part of this whole thing being that I was genuinely enjoying myself. If I ignored the amount of money being spent and concentrated on just us girls and the smiles on their faces, I couldn't find it in me to feel anything but happiness. I really did have the best family in the world.

Out of the corner of my eye, I watched Alice skipping back to us with a bag holding all of our new jewellery. Along with the necklace that we had all bought as a souvenir of our day out, we each had another item aswell. I had the dainty silver, diamond star earrings by Elsa Peretti, while Rosalie had fallen in love with the silver orchid double drop earrings by Frank Gehry. Esme had gone for a delicate platinum bracelet with little diamonds dotted through it by Jean Schlumberger. Alice had 'treated' herself and bought a silver Dove brooch and a heavy Marakesh style silver ring by Paloma.

She was caressing her brooch lovingly as she lead me by the hand out of the jewellery shop. Squeezing her hand, I wriggled my arm through hers and nodded to her newest purchase. "Your brooch really suits you Alice. It makes your eyes shine even more than usual." Her smile grew even more pronounced as she placed a quick kiss on my cheek in thanks.

After a few more minutes walking, Alice motioned for us to enter the shoe shop to our left. As Rosalie and Alice both sped off excitedly, I linked my arm through Esme's as we laughed at the girls behaviour. They were acting like all the shoes would be gone by the time they got there. "I've never understood the fascination women have with shoes. No offence Esme if you love them as much as your daughters do, I just don't get it."

Smirking at my confession, she shook her head while replying. "I will admit I like the feel of a brand new pair of shoes and enjoy the satisfaction of finding the perfect shoes to match an outfit but I'm not obsessed like some people we know." Gesturing to the two girls gleefully trying on stilettos to our right, we both giggled and moved towards the comfier looking flats.

As Esme was searching for the perfect shoes to wear to one of Carlisle's functions coming up, Rosalie gestured for me to go over and join them. Excusing myself from Esme, I made my way over and flopped down on the seat next to my sisters. Looking up from my inspection of the shoes in their hands, I instantly became alert as Rosalie gazed down at me mischievously. Gulping, I turned to Alice hoping she would distract Rosalie from whatever she was planning. I swear that woman was too much like her husband sometimes.
