A/N: Thank YOU!!! For all your reviews and alerts. I am terribly sorry for the delay, the very long delay but I'm back and I'm going to try harder to get the chapters out a little sooner then I have been. I shall not let this go to the FanFiction graveyard of unfinished stories.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or any of it's contents.

Warning: From here on out the story will be rated M due to content plus I rather be safe.

We are back to where we left off in chapter 8 in Bella's POV.

"What are we doing in Seattle?" I asked.

"Patience Isabella, and you will see the surprising journey that awaits you.

"Ok, but I still think this is torture."

We drove into downtown Seattle and navigated through the streets until we arrived at a restaurant. The sign read, "13 Coins Restaurant"'. Alice pulled up to the valet and got out. She came around to my door and opened it and helped me out. We entered the restaurant and went up to the hostesses station.

"Hello and Welcome to the 13 Coins Restaurant, Do you have a reservation?" The hostess greeted us happily.

"Cullen for two please" Alice replied smoothly.

"Oh we have been waiting for you, follow me please." They had been waiting for us? That is interesting, I wonder what she put together. We were being led through the maze of tables and towards the back of the restaurant. The hostess then stopped at a glass door and opened it, it was a private dining area. She led us to the table situated in the middle of the room. She waited for us to be seated and took our drink orders. I stuck with water and so did Alice.

"Wow this place is really nice Alice, you shouldn't have" I know her family was well off but I wasn't with her for money.

"Nonsense Isabella, you are a special girl and I wouldn't want to do anything less."

"This is amazing, you are amazing. I am glad we could do this."

"Well Thank You for your kind words, order anything you like. Be sure to eat up, I got some other things planned; you will need your energy."

I couldn't believe she had anything else planned, this was extravagant enough. What else could she have planned?

"There's more to this evening, this is way more than I expected I don't think I could possibly handle anymore surprises."

"You will see and I am sure you will love it. It's been awhile since I have gotten to plan anything and I wanted this night to be perfect." She said this with a sly smile.

"Well so far it is, just being with you is good enough for me. All of this is just icing on the cake."

By this time the waitress came back with our drinks and took our orders. Alice ordered some sort of salad and I ordered the vegetable fettuccine. It appears we both love our vegetables.

"So do you come to Seattle often" I asked out of curiosity.

"Not that often, I sometimes get in the mood for a change of scenery and new shopping so I gather up my sister and brothers and we take a mini trip."

"That sounds fun, I bet your brothers make things interesting."

"They do; sometimes a little too interesting."

"They seem like fun guys to hang out with, I didn't have any siblings growing up so I sometimes wonder."

"Well I got three brothers, I'll give them to you for free." She said this with a mischievous smile.

"Can I do like a trial run? To test them out? See if they are a good fit?

"Sure, How's next Tuesday at around six sound?"

"I'll have to check my agenda, but I think it's good"

"They are good guys, always watching out for me."

The waitress brought our food and checked on us, I was starving so I dug right in. I had been kind of nervous and unable to eat much all day but now that I was relaxed, I was ready to eat.

"This is really good, how is your salad?" I asked between bites.

"It's delicious, I haven't had one in such a long time." She replied.

"So what kind of food do you like? Any favorites?" I wondered what she liked I thought I could cook for her sometime.

"Not any in particular, I like all kinds of food. I travel a lot so I get to eat a lot of different kinds."

"That must be fun to travel, I haven't traveled much but I would like to."

"Well I think that could be arranged Isabella, the Cullen's are quite travel savvy."

"All of you are so young, it's amazing that you have found the time to travel."

"Yes, but we try to fit it in whenever we can manage, we believe in experience. Carlisle and Esme have made it a point to give us a life full of culture and knowledge. They also try to give us what we never had before."

"I could see that, they seem like great parents to have."

"They are fabulous parent's, I couldn't have asked for better one's."

The conversation continued for another 20 minutes or so until we were finished eating, Alice paid the bill and we retrieved the car. We were back out on the road in no time.

"So where are we going now Alice?" I asked.

"You will see Sweet Isabella." She replied.

"Got to keep it a secret down to the last second don't you?"

"Yes, the surprise is half the fun."

I shot her a glare then a smile then I settled down in my seat. We drove through a maze of streets for about another ten minutes until we turned into a parking structure. We parked the car and emerged out into the street and turned a corner and right in front of me was a giant lit up sign. The Intiman Theatre is Proud to Present : A Midsummer Night's Dream.

"Wow Alice, this is amazing." I was awed again by her, we were going to be studying Shakespeare in English and I told her how I liked his works. Now I get to see it live.

"I knew you would like it, now let me get the tickets."

A few hours later the show was over, it was amazing. We were speeding toward the hotel now. Alice didn't leave me hanging this time, but somehow I had the feeling that the surprises weren't over yet. I couldn't quite put my finger on it but I felt like something big was coming. We arrived at the hotel and were greeted by the valet and a bellhop.

"Welcome to The Edgewater Hotel, If there's anything you need just dial out and we will be happy to assist you." The guy at the service desk said as he handed Alice the room key.

"Thank You Kindly Sir" Alice replied smoothly.

I was expecting to get into an elevator but was led through a set of doors and was greeted by a hallway lined with doors, it was starting to look like a hotel now. We made a few turns and finally stopped at what I assumed was our room. Alice reached into her purse and pulled out a blindfold.

"Now I am expecting you to be a good sport Isabella and put this on" Alice said as she handed me the blindfold.

"At this point I have no arguments" I replied as I placed the blind fold on.

"Thank You" Alice replied. I felt her hands on my shoulders as she led me into the room. I was greeted by the smell of Lilac and Vanilla, mixed with salty ocean air. We walked a few feet and Alice left me momentarily to deal with the bellhop. She was back and whispering in my ear in less than a minute.

"So Sweet Isabella, I think its time for that blindfold to come off. I hope you enjoy this." She then removed my blindfold for me.

What I was greeted with next was nothing short of amazing, At least a hundred candles were burning throughout the room and white roses and rose pedals were everywhere. There was a big glass window that faced the ocean, we were right on the water.

"Alice Cullen, I don't know what to say. I am speechless."

"Then my plan worked well." She replied.

"This night is absolutely amazing, everything is perfect." I was shocked, how did I find her? This is crazy.

"I am glad you have enjoyed our evening, it's been a long while since I have dated. So I wasn't sure."

I then walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her and kissed her passionately, I was cut off soon after I started to kiss her. This happened a lot and it was quite frustrating. Alice must have sensed my disappointment.

"What is the matter Sweet Isabella?" she asked as she placed strands of my hair behind my ear.

"Well I thought tonight would be the night we finally got to the next level. This night has been perfect down to the last detail, and well all this" I said pointing around me. Alice got a very serious look on her face.

"I know, and you don't know how bad I want to go to that level with you. It's so bad but I am afraid I'll lose control and that will be very dangerous for you and I couldn't live with myself if I hurt you, ever." I was confused, very confused.

"Alice Cullen, What are you going on about?"

"Isabella, there's something I have to tell you, something that's very important. I have hesitated because this information is only the privilege of certain ears. I feel like I can trust you enough, but I am scared of what this may do to our relationship. I'll completely understand if you want to go and never see me again but I can't lie to you anymore."

"Alice, What are you talking about? Why would I never want to see you again?"

"Isabella, it's about myself and my family; We are different than other families, very different."

"Oh you mean the fact that you all look like you should be on the cover of GQ" I replied with a smile.

"There's a reason we all look like this, and it's isn't as pretty as the face we have been given. Isabella, I am not human." She said it with a straight face.

"Not human? Of course your human, you look human to me."

"Well I was human at one time but that was many years ago."

"Is this some kind of metaphorical thing?"

"No, I am a…Vampire." She uttered the words slowly and clearly.

"Vampire? Like Count Dracula; Suck your blood, Sleep in a coffin.. Vampire?"

"Not exactly like that, but yes I am a Vampire. I don't remember much about my human life. I was turned into a vampire somewhere in the 1920's. I have been living as one since. I joined the Cullen family, along with Jasper during the 1950's. Were not like other vampires, we are more civil and human-like. We only feed on the blood of animals to survive. We try to blend in with humans but we never age so we have to eventually find a new place to live."

"Your serious aren't you? You really are a Vampire, just not the kind I thought."

"Yes Isabella, I wanted to tell you because this is not something I can continue to lie to you about, not if I am going to continue to see you like this. I just wanted to wait to see if things could even go well before revealing it. I not only have me to worry about but my family and my entire species. Not many people know we exist and were supposed to keep it that way. I'll understand if you want to go and never see me again."

"Alice, I am shocked by all this but I don't want to leave."

This was true, I didn't want to leave. I can't believe I didn't see it sooner. Maybe I didn't want to admit that she was different. I have to face this to be with her.

"Are you afraid?" she asked with concern.

"Only of not being with you" I replied.

"I' am afraid of that too, I want to be with you. I just didn't want to lie to you. I' am here to answer any questions you may have. I want you to be as comfortable with this as possible."

"What's it like being a Vampire? If your not like other Vampire's; then what are you like?"

"Being a Vampire is not something I recommended, it does have it's advantages but it also has it's disadvantages. We don't eat food, we drink blood. My family chooses not to prey on humans. We call ourselves vegetarians as a private joke. Although we do not drink human blood it doesn't mean that we don't have a desire for it. We have to constantly control ourselves around humans, we have to be careful or we can slip and it won't be good. I desire your blood greatly but I have to focus on not taking action. It's hard to be close to you because I don't want to hurt you. That's why I pull back sometimes; for your protection."

"You want my blood?" I was shocked by this.

"Yes Isabella, it's in my natural instincts to want your blood. You smell very good, very floral. Your blood is sweet and I crave it. I know it's a lot to hear but I want to be truthful. I desire you and as long as you're a human being with blood in your veins I will desire you in such a awful way."

"It's in your nature, it isn't your fault. Why do I have to smell so good?". Not only is she not human but she wants my blood with a passion.

"I ask myself the same question everyday" Alice replied with a guilty look.

"It's ok, it's just not the way I Imagined you would desire me" I had been thinking about that, I wanted her to want me.

"Oh believe me Isabella I desire you in that way as well, very much so. That is what makes this so dangerous. I want you with a burning passion, one way would kill you. Both ways mixed could be the end of us both. I can't lose control, if I ever did I wouldn't be able to exist with myself any longer."

"I understand, or at least I am trying to understand. I don't know what it's like to desire a persons blood. It's good to know this, all of it. I will be able to better help you, make it as bearable as possible to be close with you."

"So you'll keep me" Alice asked with hopeful eyes.

I couldn't help but to be completely taken with that look on her face. I ran over to her and crashed my lips into hers. "Forever" I replied.

Alice deepened the kiss and began to move as we kissed. Eventually, I was pushed gently onto the bed and Alice placed her small frame above me as she ran her hands all over my body. She began to slide her hands up my dress as she kissed me; She searched out my breasts and started to massage them.

"Alice it's ok you don't have to do this" I said with an understanding tone.

"If I'm going to be around you, I need to test my tolerance. I need to try before I can say I can't."

"Ok, just try" I replied.

"Yeah" she said as she started to untie my dress and take it off. She began to kiss my neck and I started to unbutton her shirt and then I removed her skirt. She unclasped my bra and removed it, she started kissing and lightly sucking on my breasts. I let out a moan, I loved my breasts being played with. Alice tugged off my underwear; leaving me naked and exposed now. Her eyes scanned my body for a few seconds.

"You are absolutely gorgeous Isabella, I love it."

"Your not so bad yourself Alice Cullen" I replied.

She smiled and trailed kisses down to my thighs, she lingered for a moment then gently opened my legs and I could feel her cold breath against my skin. I soon felt her tongue against my clit and I let out load moan. It was amazing as she worked her tongue around with precision. She was in tune with everything my body was doing. I was practically screaming with pleasure a few minutes into it. She then slowly slid her fingers into my tight wet womanhood and I let out a load gasp. She began working them in and out while sliding her tongue around my clit. It went on this way for awhile until she was just using her fingers and she worked her way back up to kiss me. She increased her rhythm and speed and her fingers hit every spot just right and it finally happened. I came the hardest I ever came in my life. I griped her back; nails digging into her marble like skin. I let out a scream of ecstasy, and rocked in motion with her fingers until I was finished.

I fell back onto the bed and I felt the weight on the bed shift and I looked over to find Alice by the window. Breathing in the ocean air.

"Just give me a minute Isabella." She said in a soothing tone.

I understood, it must have been hard for her to be that close that long. I watched as the moonlight caught against her naked body. She was gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.

She soon returned to the bed and her cold body was against my hot one…

A/N: I hope you liked it…there's more to come and the next one will be here a lot sooner.
