A/N: I'm so sorry to all of you for this incredibly long wait. I won't give excuses, but all I'll say is a lot has been going on in my life. Anyway, I hope this chapter is worth the wait. Be kind to me, it's been a while.

Chapter XVIII: Date Night

I woke up the next morning jubilant for the day ahead of me. I decided to spend my date with Alice around a pond with a small waterfall a little distance away from my family's house. I discovered it a while ago, before meeting Alice, and fell in love with it. I really wanted to share it with Alice today. It seemed like the perfect place for some alone time with my girlfriend. I went through my morning routine, leaving Alice to read one of the collections of poetry on my bookshelf. I'm starting to think that my pixie is a hopeless romantic, not that I mind it at all, of course. She was truly an enigma, and I found myself absolutely enthralled with her with each passing day. I was hopelessly devoted to her, and I knew she was to me.

I stuck my head out of my bathroom to see her still reading. Now she was sitting at my desk with her back to me. I admired her for a moment. She looked so relaxed and at peace. I sighed, forcing myself out of my Alice-induced trance.

"So, I'm gonna sneak into my closet and get dressed. I don't want you peeking, Allie," I joked with her.

She giggled, her back still to me, "Aw, spoil my fun, huh? Alright, I'll resist just this once." I could hear the smile in her voice as she teased me.

After getting dressed, I crept up behind her and wrapped her in a loving embrace, "How's the reading going?" I whispered in her ear before kissing her neck.

"Oh, it's lovely. Though not as lovely as you holding me. I could stay like that forever" she sighed happily.

I continued kissing her neck, enjoying her sighing from my touch and kissing. I just couldn't help myself. Working my way up her neck, I playfully bit her ear, which earned me a soft gasp. She set the book down, stood out of the chair, and turned in my arms, capturing my lips passionately. God, I loved the way she tasted. Everything about her was true perfection to me. I melted into her as she pushed me down on the bed, straddling my hips a moment later. She broke the kiss and moved down my neck, kissing and nibbling at the tender flesh. I felt the heat begin to build in my core as she continued to push my buttons. I bit my lip to keep from moaning.

My hands found themselves gripping her short black locks, pushing her impossibly closer into me. Her hands held my hips, her fingers slowly dipping into the waistband of my black pants. Her cool fingers smoldered against my hot skin. "You make me feel so good, Alice," I moaned into her shoulder.

She rocked her hips into mine as she growled softly. Shivers of pleasure, which I didn't know I could feel, shot down my spine and through my body. My skin felt ultra-sensitive, like any light touch would push me over the edge at any moment, and I'll be damned to say that I wanted it to stop. My head felt so light with all my blood rushing through my veins and arteries into places that suddenly felt like they were on fire.

Alice's grinding into me had me acting on pure instinct, and I soon found myself grinding back into her.

"Don't you dare stop, Pixie," I struggled to stifle a moan that the whole household would have heard. She groaned into my neck in response, further exciting me.

The feeling of her jeans grinding into the soft fabric of my pants was pushing me to the point of no return, and I loved it! I wanted her to take me places that I'd never been. The sky was the limit, and she was well on her way to rocketing me off beyond the stars!

I let go of her hair, desperate to grasp her cool skin, and lifted her shirt to run my fingers along her hips and lower back. I kneaded her marble flesh as she began to suck on my neck. A surge of pleasure blasted through my body. I gasped, arching into her and pulling her into me. I buried my face into the crook of her neck and began nibbling on the flesh there. She growled into my skin in response, urging me to continue my assault on her neck. Her cool fingers began inching their way up my abdomen, and the anticipation of them reaching their final destination had me burning white hot. I felt her fingers reach the bottom of my bra and hesitated, as if she were asking me if she should continue. I growled into her neck at her sudden shyness, earning me a giggle…

"Hey, B, breakfast is ready!" Lauren's loud knock startled the holy hell out of me, causing me to accidently head-butt Alice in shock.

"Ow, damnit!" Alice and I growled in unison.

I turned my growl to the unseen interrupter past my door, "Really, Lauren? You had to be so damn infuriating, didn't you?"

I heard her giggle on the other side of the walls, her feet scampering away toward the stairs. I groaned loudly, letting my head fall against the mattress. Alice rested on top of me for a moment, then began laughing. I met her lust filled black eyes in confusion, "How was that funny? I'll need a cold shower with a bucket of ice just to begin to calm down now!"

"Oh, it's nothing really. I remember doing the same thing as your sister to Emmett and Rose a few times decades ago. They have a bad habit of letting the whole household hear them!" She giggled, almost like a child.

I wanted to glare at her, but I found myself giggling uncontrollably along with her. This turned into a full blown out hysterical laughing fit! Maybe it was the pent up sexual frustration that was caused by my sister interrupting us, or perhaps it was the visual of Alice prancing away from Emmett and Rosalie's bedroom. Maybe it was both of those, along with the fact that I've never been this intimate with someone before. Regardless, I couldn't stop laughing! Soon, Alice was cracking up along with me, as tears began welling up in my eyes, and the muscles in my abdomen began to hurt.

My vision clouded as the tears ran done my cheeks. Alice caught the laughter induced tears with her thumbs, and held my head still. I began to calm down and looked into her beautiful eyes. They shinned with warmth and happiness, probably mirroring my own. I grinned up at her, causing her to smile.

She leaned head down just so our noses caressed, and began circling her nose around mine. I let my eyes close and sighed, enjoying the sensation.

"I guess we both got a little carried away there, not that I mind," her icily sweet breath played on my lips.

"I'm totally up for a repeat later," I grinned back, opening my eyes to meet hers.

She moved her head away a little and peaked my nose with a kiss, "Always, my love. Now, what do you say to breakfast?

"Let's straighten ourselves out first." I laughed, as she pushed off me.

Alice helped me up and together we began to make ourselves look presentable. One quick look in the mirror and we were off downstairs to the kitchen.

Lauren was seated at the dining room table with Stacy when I joined them, followed by Alice. My sister gave us a knowing smirk before laughing.

"Sorry to interrupt sexy time, but after Leah left, all I had to concentrate on was the moaning and groaning from across the hall. No offense, Alice, but I really don't want to hear my sister having almost sex," she finished with a slight shutter.

I huffed, grabbed a piece of my cereal from the bowl, and tossed it at my chuckling sister, hitting her in the forehead. The effect I imagined didn't occur though, because she only laughed harder. Alice giggled at my side, "Oh, you look so flustered, my dear."

I scowled at her, "Whose side are you on? The amazingly flustered girlfriend, or the cackling maniac of a sister?"

She laughed at my childlike jab, "Yours, of course, but it was funny!"

I couldn't fault her for that, but still, Lauren would have to pay for interrupting us. I had to get her back now. I grinned menacingly at Lauren, causing her to stop laughing.

"Oh, come on! You can't get me back for that, can you? That's totally unfair!" She bellowed like a child, pointing at me.

"Girls, relax a bit. With all that racket, you might wake the dead," Papa G's voice called shortly before he entered the room, "and no destroying any of the house this time in horseplay. I know how you two get with getting back at each other. No particle jokes."

"Aw, you're no fun!" Lauren and I complained at the same time, eliciting a laugh from Stacy and Alice.

Papa G looked amused, but shook his head, "No, I will not have you two destroy another perfectly fine house."

Stacy stopped laughed and stared at us, mouth gaped in surprise, "Destroy another house? You two get that out of hand?"

The look on her face was hilarious! I held in my laugh, and answered the best I could with my hand in front of my mouth, "Only a few times," I somehow managed out.

Alice's elbow nudged my side, causing me to turn to her. She, too was holding in a laugh, managing to smirk a little, "You two devils! What chaos have you two been up to, hmm?"

I shrugged innocently batting my eyelashes at her, "What? Um, well, it only happened, ah, twice…"

Lauren's throat clearing cut me off, before answering uncharacteristically sheepishly, "It was, ah, more like four times."

Papa G started laughing at our sudden shyness and embarrassment, a rare sight for guests to witness, "Oh, don't feel too terrible, girls. In my first years as a vampire, I couldn't control my strength. You should ask Beatrice or Carlisle how often my simple actions would break things. In fact, those too had many issues as well! Ah, those were good times."

The mirth shinning in my father's eyes as he reminisced was a welcome sight. Ever since he forgave Carlisle, he was able to look back on the years they were together with a brand new fondness. It meant a lot to Lauren and me to see him smile when thinking about his family.

Eventually well, all settled down to finish breakfast and get on with our last day off before heading back to school. Alice and I decided to head out for our date in the late afternoon to enjoy some of the sun and early evening. I looked forward to showing her this special spot.

Around four, my fathers, Lauren, Stacy and Leah began to gather around our fire pit for an evening of stories and cooking out. I smiled at my parents and let them know I was taking Alice out for a while to enjoy some of the evening, and grabbed a blanket to rest on for our date. Lauren gave me a knowing look, which I waved off, before I took Alice's hand and led her toward the forest.

"So, there's this place I found a while ago that I really want to show you. I think you'd love it," She smiled as I led her toward the path I cleared out.

"I know I will!" She smirked, pointing to her the side of her head, "I've been looking forward to this since last night."

With that, we began the fifteen minute walk toward the pond. The path, which I cleared out the other day, was a great way to take in the massive forest. The oaks, ferns, moss, and natural stone really looked majestic as the sun slowly started to set. We took our stroll hand-in-hand in comfortable silence, enjoying each other's company. Slowly, the path began to open up, leading toward the pond.

We emerged from the forest onto a field with a baby blue pond fed by a twenty foot waterfall at its center. Flowers were scattered, but possessed a rainbow of colors. In the background stood the silhouette of proud mountains kissing the sky. The largest of the three was snowcapped. It was truly an astounding sight. The air smelt absolutely fresh and moist. This was Mother Nature at her finest and most serene. That's why I loved it here.

I turned to see Alice's awestruck look, "I'm glad you like it," I grinned.

She turned to me with tears of joy in her eyes, "It's… it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen"

"It really is," I smiled lovingly, "Well, next to present company."

She brought me into her arms, our lips embracing a moment later. I just molded into her as we kissed. It all couldn't be more perfect. My beautiful girlfriend, the love of my life, with me in the most captivating place I've ever seen; Well, I just couldn't be happier.

When we broke away a few minutes later, I lead her over to a large, flat stone that hung out over the pond. I threw down the blanket, lying it flat so we could sit comfortably on it. We sat next to each other, arms around waists, leaning into each other, and gazing into the water. A few fish swam by, as if greeting us, before carrying on their way in the deeper areas on the water.

I began to trance circles into the exposed skin of Alice's waist with my fingertips. She hummed in contentment, kissing the base of my neck in return.

"I love it here," She whispered into my ear, nibbling on my earlobe a second later.

I shivered slightly, enjoying the pleasurable goosebumps that crept onto my skin. I turned, capturing her lips fully. We sighed into each other, enjoying the moment.

Breaking the kiss, I breathed, "I'm glad you do," before kissing her forehead.

She pulled back, a smirk plastered on her lips, "How did you find this gorgeous place anyway?"

"Well, I came across it one afternoon while you were out hunting. It was after the incident at school with Stacy. I took a walk to calm down, and be alone with my thoughts, when I, literally, stumbled upon it. I've come up here a few times since then." I kissed the tip of her nose, earning a giggle in return, "Ever since I found it, I knew you'd love it. It means a lot to see you love it as much as I do. It kinda reminds of a spot where we used to live before we became lycans, actually."

She leaned her head on my shoulder, placing a hand on my thigh and began massaging the muscle lightly, "It really is breathtaking here. I think we just found our alone-time spot."

I rested my hand on top of hers, "I think so, too, Tink."

I felt her smile as she playfully swatted my thigh, "I'll come up with a good nickname for you, just wait. You're not safe just yet."

"Ow," I laughed out during her threat.

We fell into a comfortable silence for a while after that. Darkness began to overtake the sky as night began to fall, cooling the air around us. Eventually, Alice stopped her light massage of my thigh, and pushed herself off of me. I cocked my head to see what she was up to, gaining a half-smile. She moved behind me, place her legs along mine. A second later, her cool hands were massaging the tender flesh of my neck and shoulders.

"That's nice," I sighed, loving her touch. I closed my eyes, allowing myself to melt into her.

She hummed, "I knew you'd like it. You seem to have a thing for your neck."

I felt a blush grace my cheeks, "Yeah, well, I, um, had no idea until now."

"It, also, turns you into a blushing mess of sexy," she whispered seductively in my ear. Her cool breath tickled my ear, causing a shiver to run down my spine. My face felt red hot as goosebumps began prickling at my skin. The core of my body tingled and began to throb white hot as it had earlier this morning. Alice's giggle didn't make my growing arousal any better.

"What's so funny," God my voice sounded so weak and shaky right now. I couldn't face her, knowing that I'd never be able to look her in the eyes in this state. I could already feel a blush on my cheeks.

I felt her chin on my shoulder a moment later, "Sorry, sweetie, but I just love seeing you all flustered." With that, I felt her teeth playfully nip my earlobe. I bit my lip to hold in the moan that was currently in my throat. The damn tease, I mentally cursed.

Letting out a half-assed growl, I gripped her thighs and gave them a playful squeeze. This caused her to squeal like a little child. I grinned, feeling her jerk around as I tickled the back of her thighs, "Ticklish, are we? Why, who ever thought a vampire could be ticklish?"

She squealed again as I pushed down on her. Her laugh was hysterical! I flipped around to continue my playful assault on my little vampire. She writhed around on the ground as I began tickling her now exposed hips and abdomen. Grinning like mad, I hopped on her pelvis to keep her still, "I'm so gonna enjoy this, Allie. I know your weakness now!"

Her laughing was almost to the point of hysterics now. She wiggled under my weight, trying to stop the torture. "Bella… ple…please stop…tickling me! Can't. Take. It. Anymore!" She managed to laugh out.

This is fun! I thought as I laughed hard at my girl's begging. It was so sexy seeing her in this position. I barely kept myself in control. I really wanted to move my hands up her abdomen and explore other parts of her body. The thing was, I knew I wasn't ready for that big of a leap in our relationship just yet. Damn my shyness…

Instead, I grinned down at her, slowing down my tickling for a moment, "I don't know, Alice. Promise me that you won't tease me anymore?" I really wanted her to say no, because I really enjoyed this. She squirmed about, gasping between laughing fits, and attempting to push my hands away from her exposed skin.

"O-Okay!" She started to squeal out, "I won't… tease you… anymore!"

I grinned down at her, ceased me tickling, much to my dismay, "Alright, I suppose I'll stop… for now." My wicked grin widening as she stared back at me with half-lidded eyes. I left my hands on her exposed hips as we just stared at each other in mutual appreciation. Her hands pushed up the sleeves of my hoodie to lightly massage my forearms. Her cool fingertips traced intimate circles along my skin, causing my goosebumps to return for the third time today. In that moment, I became all too aware of the fact that I was straddling her pelvis. For the briefest of moments, I wanted to become embarrassed at our position, but then I realized that it just felt right. Not necessarily to be straddling my girlfriend, but to be in an intimate and trusting situation with her.

Searching her now dark amber eyes, I could feel not just her lust for me, but her love and admiration. It was awe-inspiring. The display of such raw emotion was truly captivating. I could almost get lost in her eyes if I wanted to. A moan of contentment escaped her parted lips as we continued to study each other. I subconsciously licked my lips, suddenly feeling them becoming chapped. The dryness of my throat became evident as I tried to swallow back a nervous squeal building. My fingers began acting on their own free will, lightly tracing circles around her hips and abdomen. A hot flush flooded my cheeks just as my core throbbed from my building arousal. I struggled not to grind my hips into her. Too fast too soon… I mentally reminded myself of my wish to not rush into sex.

Apparently, my body wasn't listening, because the next thing I knew, my lips molded sensually with hers, eliciting a moan. Her vanilla and cinnamon taste blazed onto my senses a millisecond later, evoking my own moan to escape into her mouth. Slowly, patiently, our lips caressed each other, taking in tastes and feeling. The world around us seemed to dissipate until all that mattered was me and Alice, in this moment, exploring each others lips and minimally exposed skin tentatively. The coolness of her marbled skin molded exquisitely with the soft warmth of mine. Fate couldn't have painted a better portrait when it destined us together.

Alice's hand left my forearms and reappeared on either side of the nape of my neck, caressing the hyper-sensitive skin there. Her coolness caused me to jump, accidently pushing straight into her pelvis, the friction causing me to gasp. The rough fabric of her jeans pressed into the softness of my black pants as she pushed into me a little harder. The throbbing was becoming so, so hard to ignore. I could barely handle it. Under her cotton shirt, I kneaded the flesh on either side of her navel, and dared to ghost up to her lower ribs. I marveled at the softness of her skin as I traced the outline of her lower sternum. Her aroma was driving me further into my lust-induced craze. I nipped her lower lip, receiving an excited growl. My tongue traced along her lip, not too subtly asking her for entrance. It was granted, allowing my tongue to meld we hers, her venom mixing with my saliva in a magically delightful combination of tastes. I moaned loudly into her mouth, rolling my eyes back as I did. One of Alice's hands left my neck, only to resurface on the small of my back. Her cool fingers pushed up my hoodie and shirt to grip my warm flesh.

Her touch felt amazing! My body again acted on instinct, grinding into her. Now I couldn't help it. The throb in my core was now white hot. Our grinding only stoked the fire. I knew that this was going further, and I didn't mind one bit. I kneaded my way up her abdomen, stopping once my fingers touched the fabric of her bra. Tracing my fingers along the edges of her bra, I listened for a sound of protest from her. When that didn't happen, I bravely cupped her breasts. Her hands slipped from the small of my back and cupped my ass, startling me. I moaned loudly into her mouth as she pushed me into her. I started to grind faster into her pelvis, feeling myself grow closer to a plateau. My mind grew hazy as the fire in my core began to spread throughout my body. My lower abdomen started to quiver… I knew that I couldn't hold on much longer.

Deciding that I needed to feel her closer to me, I shifted our position, straddling one of her legs, and resting the other on top of my thigh. The shift allowed me to press against her fully. Yeah, it's called scissoring, B, Lauren's voice rang in my heard from a conversation we had years ago. I smiled into Alice's mouth, remembering my sister's comments on one of the ways two women could have sex.

Feeling Alice grind up into me brought me completely back to reality. I gasped loudly, pulling away from her mouth to rest my forehead against hers. My panting and moans were echoed by hers as I stared into her black eyes. Beads of sweat began to drip down my forehead and back as I began grinding faster and harder into her. The muscles in my lower abdomen and thighs began to quiver; I could barely handle it. Pure pleasure boiled through my body, begging to explode, as I took in the sight of Alice withering and moaning under my grinding. It was so overwhelming a feeling, yet I just wanted to keep holding onto it as long as I could.

Alice's moans grew louder, and she began to shake and jolt underneath me. I could feel her thighs tense and shake, and her hands clenched the skin of my bottom a bit harder. I met her eyes the very moment her orgasm hit her. They just rolled into the back of her head as she tensed and quivered in beautiful alterations. Watching her in pure ecstasy sent me right over. All of the pressure and aching in my groin released, and reverberated throughout my body. It felt like an explosion as all of that pent up pleasure fired off at once, shaking me to my very core. Every muscle in my body tensed up, almost causing me to contort unwillingly on top of Alice. For a few moments, I couldn't breathe. I just locked up as waves and waves of pleasure coursed through me. I felt numb, in the best sort of way, yet my head felt like it was floating. It was an intoxicating feeling.

I collapsed onto Alice, desperately trying to catch my breath after riding out this amazing orgasm. I was utterly exhausted. My abdomen felt like I had done a thousand crunched or something. Sweat dripped off my skin onto Alice and the blanket below us. I just laid on top of her and just let myself take it all in. I closed my eyes and listened to the sounds of our breathing. She her hands slipped out of the back of my pants, only to reappear around my back with the blanket engulfing us. Her cool lips touched my sweaty forehead. I hummed contently in response.

"I love you", she whispered, happily.

I exhaustively smiled into her collarbone, "I love you."

A/N: For the most part, I really enjoyed this chapter. I loved the awkwardness of Bella, especially her random thought in the middle of their, um, intimacy. I just like her character being a bit all over the place. I'm hoping the next chapter is up in the next few weeks. In fact, I'll make sure it is. By the way, if there's any mistakes I missed, let me know and I'll fix them. I might be looking for a beta soon, if anyone's interested. Again, sorry about the wait.
