BEFORE THE CLEARWATER'S

CHAPTER 8

SAVANNAH P.O.V

"You look happy today." Esme commented as I sat at the table with my coffee and breakfast. 

"Yes." I smiled. "I got to spend time with Seth over the weekend." I loved Seth and I wish that my parents didn't try so hard to tear us apart. "He's perfect in every way possible." 

"I don't know, Sav." Emmett commented. "He smells like a wet dog." 

"He smells great to me." I commented. 

"Can I take you shopping today?" Alice commented coming into the room as I worked. 

"You'll have to ask my dad." I didn't see why he would say no. I'm sure Seth would not be invited to our girls day. 

"He'll say yes." She commented. Alice wasn't always able to see us. It took her a lot of practice but when she can think about us enough, she can see us. It took her years to perfect it. "I think you need some more, grown up, things Seth will like, clothes."

"He like's my clothes." I pouted. 

"I meant ling-" 

"Okay okay!" I shouted before she could further her sentence. I finished my work and went over a few more things for the test that I had coming up on Friday. Esme was always kind and gentle and never got impatient with me when I didn't understand something. Overall she was a much better teacher than I ever encountered in high school. 

"Are you ready?" 

"Yes." I commented getting on my coat and following her to her car. "Please don't go overboard. But he likes red." I commented. Of course Seth would say that anything looked great on me but I knew that red drove him crazy.

"Got it. Red." She commented as she drove. "I think your skin would also go great with navy blue." 

"I can try some things on can't I?" 

"Some places don't let you try on lingerie." She answered. "We'll see what we can do." She finally pulled into a spot and we both got out. She of course got right to work on picking things out while I was looking at the dresses and jeans. "Do you want these too?" She asked taking the clothes from me.

"I was thinking about it." I answered truthfully. Of course I knew the Cullen's were rich. I didn't use them for their money. But Alice always insisted on buying everything, even if my parents gave me money to buy my own things. She never let me use my own money. She always claimed that seeing me happy and in style was her happy place. She was weird. "And we need to be careful because my parent's don't know that we're official again." 

"They weren't born yesterday." She commented. "Do you really think that they don't know what's going on?" 

"I think they choose to ignore it." I was looking at the lingerie she pulled off the shelf. "Why do I need so many?" 

"This way you have a choice on what you think he'll like best." 

"How am I going to keep these hidden?" It wasn't like I could bring them to Seth's place, he would snoop and look at them before he could see them on me but I also knew that my parents were keeping tabs on my every move. 

"You'll be fine." She waved her hand at me as she moved to the check out. "Will you go shoe shopping with me?"

"Yeah." I wasn't into the heels and the fancy shoes like she was. I was perfectly fine with a pair of sneakers or vans. She got all of the bags into the car with ease before we walked across the street to look at shoes. They were all very tall. As much as I would love to be a little taller, Seth liked my height and I wasn't willing to deal with the pain of wearing heels. Of course vampires didn't have that problem. "Did you happen to get anything white?"
