dress for success

By the time when Alice first shows up at Stanford visibly (as opposed to lurking around the ceiling at Bella's classes, making smart remarks in her head), Janine has put in a request, and so have four other girls on the hall. (Lillian wants a summery floral dress, Tasha wants a midnight blue evening gown, Ruth has expressed a fondness for polka dots, and Kuo wants something gothy. Bella politely makes no remarks about anyone's taste.)

Bella likes all her teachers okay, and also the orchestra conductor and her soccer coach. Life is good.

He kisses her forehead, also impulsively, and hugs her some more.

[I love you. You're the best.]
edgeofyourseat: Explaining or agreeing. (⑼ gotta be cool)

Alice shuts up and just loves her. Bella is perfect and hugging her is perfect and the things she gives him are perfect and there is nothing he would change about this moment.
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, friendly. (⑵ extraordinarily nice)

Alice turns invisible.

"Nope."
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

He giggles right back.
edgeofyourseat: Hand to back of head, uncertain. (⑾ whatcha doin' tonight)

It is very snuggly.

[Oh, hey,] says Alice, as a thought occurs to him. [Mom's throwing a party to, I dunno, celebrate ditching Dad and keeping his money. It's gonna be big and boring and full of boring rich people. Hilary's cooking, though. Wanna come?]
edgeofyourseat: Thoughtful. Possibly shirtless. (⑽ I kinda like it)

[I haven't actually met most of them, but they all know my mom, and she probably met a lot of them through Dad, so there's a good chance they're either boring or assholes. Or boring assholes.]
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, friendly. (⑵ extraordinarily nice)

[I ask my mom who's coming, she shows it to me, you read my mind?]
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, possibly fake, mildly creepy. (⑸ playful as a pussy cat)

[Cool.]

But he doesn't feel like un-hugging right now.
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, conspiratorial or challenging. (⑷ wanna try?)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-10-11 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nope! It's in a couple weeks.]
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, friendly. (⑵ extraordinarily nice)

Mmmmmm, kisses. Alice loves Bella. Her surprises are the best surprises.
