Dating Lessons
Intermission – Alice
I was furious at my brother, right then. What the hell did he think he was playing at? Bella wasn’t just some tart to grope at our parents’ party, where anyone could have walked in on them. Thank God it had been Jasper, although I knew he’d feel uncomfortable about it for a long while. And if any of it bled through into our bedroom, Edward was a dead man.
It wasn’t that I hated the though of Bella and Edward together – in fact that would have pleased me greatly and tied the “loose ends” of our group nicely. But not like this. I once again cursed my slow-witted brother, watching him make his way through the crowd until he reached our parents and the cake.
Bella was a stubborn person, and rather introverted. Only the fact that her face could not lie nor withhold anything from me made me sure of her feelings.
She wanted my brother. She had been attracted to him before, probably for years, but the strange arrangement they had made a while ago sealed the deal for her. I was sure Edward wasn’t indifferent either; he just wouldn’t admit anything. To himself either, I wagered.
After a few minutes, Bella finally walked back to the party room, looking guiltier than an axe murderer. I’d need to teach her some perspective.
“You look a little flushed, Bella. Are you okay?”
Her shade turned from slightly pink to quite red and she mumbled something affirmative.
“Good. Listen Bella, I need to go shopping tomorrow for this important anniversary Jasper and I are having in a couple of days. Want to come with me and make a day of it? We can have some lunch and maybe go have a facial or something.”
“I don’t know- -“
“Oh Bella you have to!” I whined shamelessly, “I need your support and opinion! I have to buy something exquisite for Jasper.”
I was laying it on a bit thick (since when had I ever needed her opinion on anything to do with fashion or clothes) but in a couple of minutes I had cornered the poor girl into it. Tomorrow we would have a discussion about this, and get her prepared for the next step. I couldn’t help but bounce a bit. Edward wouldn’t know what had hit him and it served him just right!

“Alice!” Bella cried looking absolutely mortified while I was waving tiny, frilly knickers at her. “I can’t possibly wear that for…for…”
Busted!
“Yeees?” I drew the word out, knowing it would annoy her. “Wear them for what? Is there something you’re not telling me?”
Bella squirmed, evading my eyes. “Something I’m not telling you?” she gave a weak effort at playing innocent but I don’t think even she thought she had a chance in Hades to pull it off.
“Or someone?”
“Uh. Well…”
“Isabella Swan! Do you actually think me blind enough to not know what you have been doing? And with whom?” I exclaimed.
Bella went rigid and blushed profusely.
Then she stared at the floor, playing mute.
“Don’t you want to make a lasting impression on him?” I tried to coax her. Nothing.
Fair enough - if subtlety didn’t work here, I would go for the proverbial jugular. “I’m sure my brother would love to see you in those knickers. And without them.”
For a second I was afraid that she would faint. All colour had left her face and she finally raised her horrified doe eyes to mine as if she was compelled to do so.
“What- - what did you say?” she croaked.
“I know, Bella. Or do you think I’m bluffing?”
Bella glanced around the lingerie boutique as if looking for an escape but instead she fell into a nearby armchair. This was an upscale boutique after all, not a mall. I would have nothing less for myself and Jasper. And of course, in this case, Bella. I went to sit by her and drew her cold, clammy hands into my own smaller ones.
“Bella, it’s okay. Breathe.”
“Oh, God! What must you think of me?” she mumbled in a near panicked state, and then realized something she seemed to consider an even worse possibility. “What must you think of Edward! He treats me like a gentleman, Alice. Not much has happened anyway.” she assured me.
I managed to stop myself from rolling my eyes but only barely.
“Bella, calm down. And listen to me, carefully. I don’t mind you two. At all. Wether it turns out to be something lasting or just a little fling. Personally I think both of you are crazy if you don’t see the potential here but it’s none of my business. I just wanted to help you get prepared for your next date. And maybe mess with Edward’s head a little while doing it.”
“How did you know?!” she asked in awe. I pinched her cheek in return.
“Bella, Bella, Bella. I just know.”
Bella sighed, shrugging dejectedly. “I give up. Soon enough everyone will know, and then…and then…I will hide away at home and never come out.”
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and Bella turned to look at me crossly. “Nice, Alice. It’s easy for you to laugh.”
“Oh stop being so morose, Bella. Let’s approach this calmly, and one thing at a time. When is your next date?”
“I wouldn't call it dating exactly” she squirmed uncomfortably, “but we don’t have a date set for it yet.”
This was good news and I immediately told her so. She looked at me blankly and I knew I had to go for the long version. “This is great, because now you can blow him off for a couple of days.”
“Why would I do that?” she asked, honestly confused.
I took a deep calming breath before replying. Bella was so innocent and guileless that I couldn’t help but wonder how she had survived like that for this long. It also made me a little angrier at my brother. He had no business treating Bella of all women like this!”
“You would do that because he needs to realize you won’t be at his beck and call.”
“I don’t think Edward sees me like that- -“ she tried, but I went on, regardless.
“And now we go find some drop dead sexy lingerie for you and for myself and you will work hard on not blushing.”
Soon enough I had helped her pick out two different outfits. The first one would go nicely with the little black dress I had helped her buy months ago and that she was planning on wearing for their next date. The first outfit comprised of blue panties and blue stay up bra. Both of them had flowery lace.
“I think I need a pantyhose too, Alice.”
“You cannot wear a pantyhose to a seduction you’re acting out. We’ll go with stay ups.” I reached for ones that had a nice rose pattern at the top, and handed them to her.
Bella looked at me doubtingly and asked, “Do these really stay up by themselves?”
“They will for the short period of time you need them to.” I grinned, and to my surprise she laughed at that. Maybe she was finally winding down a bit.
It turned out though that I had celebrated my success too early. The second outfit got her nervous, timid and embarrassed. It took me twenty minutes to assure her that yes, she indeed could pull off a tight corset, a garter belt and crotchless panties and that no, it didn’t make her a slut. Bella finally accepted it but asked sardonically if I had any sexual advice, too, that she should use on Edward.
Understandably, that was where I drew the line but she could always google. And the great thing about doing google research was that you could do it at home and at your own convenience. I did have one more advice for her though, and it was important.
“If you don’t feel like you can do it…if you don’t feel confident? Just fake it. Fake it like Hell.”
