Soon after, Alex arrived back at the Cullen Mansion, took his phone out, and called Charlie.
"Hey Dad, it's me, Alex," Alex said as he held the phone over his ear.
"Hey Alex" Charlie responded simply and waited to hear what Alex had called him for.
"I'll be staying the night at the Cullens, is that all right?" Alex said as he walked up the stairs to the front door.
"It's totally fine, I hope you have fun," Charlie said, stopping for a moment before continuing.
"Do you have anything to sleep with?" Charlie asked, his voice concerned for Alex, as all parents were when their child went somewhere for a sleepover.
"Jasper, Doctor Cullen's kid said he would give me his pajamas so it's fine, I'm only staying for one night so I don't really need much," Alex replied to Charlie as he opened the front door of the mansion, and headed inside.
"All right, have fun and call me if you want to come back or anything happens," Charlie said, his soft tone could even be heard over the phone.
"All right Dad, see you tomorrow"
"See you son" Charlie answered and Alex hung up.
Closing the front door, Alex headed into the living room, he only found Alice and Esme there while the others seemed to be in their own rooms from what Alex was hearing.
"Hey, I'm back. Sorry for burdening you tonight." Alex said as he looked at Esme and Alice.
Esme shook her head and spoke to Alex with a soft motherly smile on her face.
"It's all right Alex, you're basically family at this point"
Alex stood there frozen for a split second at her words and then nodded awkwardly.
"I see, thank you," Alex said to Esme and then went ahead and sat on the couch in front of Alice.
Looking at her, Alex smiled.
"Do you want to do anything? I mean this is practically a sleepover isn't it?" Alex asked as he looked at her with that same smile.
Alice returned it the same and gave a nod.
"Sure, I was thinking of doing a painting, do you want to join me?" Alice asked as she looked at Alex.
Alex nodded in return and got up from the couch.
"Sure, lead the way"
Alice got up as well and started heading towards the stairs, Alex following behind her.
"Do you want me to make you anything to eat Alex?" Esme asked from behind him.
Turning to face her, Alex shook his head.
"It's fine, I do not need to eat, so you do not have to worry about me"
"Ok, just tell me if you want anything, and I'll make it, Don't be shy about it," Esme said as she looked at Alex with those soft eyes of hers.
"All right, thank you" Alex replied and started following Alice up the stairs once more.
Soon they arrived in front of Alice's room once more.
Heading inside, Alex saw that she had made a few more paintings since the last time he had been in her room.
Looking at them, Alex saw they were mostly made up of a white mist that seemed to swirl around.
The background setting where the mist was however changed with each painting.
One of them was in a dimly lit alley.
The second way was in front of what looked like a rural road.
And the final one was in a grass field.
Alex knew what the mist represented as soon as he saw the background.
And now that he looked at it more closely, the mist did resemble a person's outline though vaguely and if you didn't know what to look for then you wouldn't be able to notice the signs.
"Are those supposed to be me?" Alex asked as he looked at Alice who sat down on a small chair, there was a large white canvas in front of her.
"Yes, I drew them from my visions so they are not that good," Alice said as she turned to face Alex who sat down on her bed.
"So that's what I look like in your visions huh? Looks pretty spooky" Alex said as he looked at the paintings, he had tried to joke about it but it seemed like he wasn't really in the mood and the joke landed flat, the tone of his voice just wasn't right.
"I guess so, but I would like to request something Alex," Alice said as she looked at the paintings and then turned her head to face Alex once more.
"What is it?" Alex asked, his voice clearly carrying the curiosity he was feeling.
"Could I paint you? By that I mean can you be my model for this painting?" Alice asked as she looked at him.
Alex thought as he looked at Alice who had just asked him that.
'I would have definitely been too embarrassed to ask her that, I guess when you live for a hundred years, your sense of embarrassment just goes away.'
Nodding his head, Alex replied.
"Sure, I'd be honored too. Do you want me to get up or stay seated, is there any pose you want me to make?" Alex asked as he looked at Alice who had a smile on her face at his agreement.
"Just sit straight in the bed and that will be fine," Alice said as she took the canvas and small chair and turned them toward Alex, once she was in a good position she peeked her head to look at Alex.
"Is this fine?" Alex asked as he sat on the bed.
"Yup that's perfect just don't move now," Alice said as she took her brush from the small container to her side.
Alex gave a slight nod and stopped moving.
At that moment, he had stopped breathing, and any other movements he was making even subconsciously had stopped.
He truly looked like a living realistic statue.
"That's great, it's so much easier to paint someone when they're a vampire," Alice said with a nod and then started getting to work.
Her brush strokes were fast but they all looked perfect as if they were being painted by a master artist and at this point, Alice had probably reached that level already considering her age.

Time passed and soon Alice finished her last brush stroke and the painting was done.
It had taken four hours to complete the whole thing and Alex hadn't moved a single inch while Alice was painting him.
"I finished it, Alex," Alice said as he put her brush in the small container to the side, took the canvas, and held it up, turning it around so Alex could see.
Painted on the canvas was Alex however he didn't look like he did right now, his eyes were painted red and his hair silver, just like they had been in his transformation, what caught Alex's mind the most however was the blood dripping down his lips down to his chin and the ferocious look in his eyes.
Even though he could clearly tell that it was a drawing of himself, the look of his eyes in the painting felt weird to him, almost alien.
It looked as if those were someone else's eyes and it wasn't him at all, even though every other feature made it appear that it was him, Alex in the painting, the eyes made it look like it wasn't him at all.
"What do you think?" Alice asked with a soft tone as she looked at Alex.
Alex stood silent for a moment before turning his head to look at Alice.
"I don't know, everything seems perfect besides the eyes. I can't really say why though, it's just a feeling" Alex said as he looked at Alice who nodded her head slowly.
"Right, I'll make sure to do better next time" Alice mumbled softly and then took the painting and put it on the side of the wall.
"So do you want to go for another ride around town?" Alice asked as she turned to face Alex again.
Alex thought for a moment and then nodded, at the moment he just wanted to keep himself occupied with something, to make him drift away from what had happened earlier and that painting session really hadn't done him much good.
Staying in one spot frozen for hours made it so that he was only able to think, and his thoughts really were favoring him right now.
"Sure let's go out, maybe we can go to a restaurant or watch a movie?" Alex said as he looked at Alice for her input on his ideas.
"Sure, Want to go to Port Angels instead, it's a bit further but it has a better cinema and restaurants than the ones around Forks," Alice said as she asked Alex who nodded.
"Sure no problem, wherever you want," Alex said as he started to head outside the room.
"Uhm let me just change clothes, I'm still in a baseball uniform and I don't really want to go out like this" Alice said as she looked at Alex who turned around and scratched the back of his neck while showing a sheepish look.
"Sorry, I forgot about that completely, I'll wait downstairs?" Alex said and then pointed to the door with his thumb as he said he would wait downstairs.
"No, just sit on the bed. I'll just change real quick" Alice said as she pointed to the bed.
Alex nodded, appearing nonchalant on the outside but his heartbeat started increasing dramatically at Alice's words.
'She will just change quickly, and I'm in her room.' Alex thought as a slight blush started to appear on his face.
His imagination was running wild as he thought of all the scenarios that could happen while Alice was changing, the more he thought and imagined the brighter his blush was and the bigger the tent in his pants got as well.
'Stop thinking, stop thinking' Alex thought as he tried to distract himself, and at that point, Alex heard a door open and saw Alice heading inside a smaller room.
"I'll be right back as soon as I change," Alice said as she gave him a mischievous smile and then closed the door.
For a moment, Alex stood frozen.
'She knew what she was doing, that damned vixen always messing with me. No, the problem isn't with her it's with my body, why the hell does it get so excited so damned quickly' Alex thought to himself as he tried imagining ways he could train himself so he could be less flustered at Alice's mischievous pranks.
*Sigh*
Releasing a soft sigh, Alex held his head up and looked at the white ceiling.
'And here I thought I was about to get lucky, god damn it' Alex thought to himself as he clenched his fists at his misfortune.
'I need to find a way so I could prank her back, I know for sure that she's my mate now and how she acted toward me all makes sense now that I know, but that also means that she desires me just as much as my body does her...' Alex thought and felt the urge to release a wicked laughter out into the air but barely held himself back.
'I already seem like a psychopath, let's not seem like some edgy evil doctor as well' Alex thought to himself and then waited.
It didn't take long before the door of the closet opened and out came Alice.
She was wearing a black dress with what looked like bright yellow sparkles. It gave the feeling of the sky at night, it truly looked majestic especially when it was worn by someone like Alice.
"So how do I look?" Alice asked as she did a twirl to show Alex.
Though she didn't even need to hear Alex's answer just his heartbeat was already enough of an answer.
"You look gorgeous, I don't think anyone can take their eyes off you," Alex said as he got up and headed toward her.
Extending his hand, Alex gave her a soft smile and asked.
"Would you like to come with me on our date now Alice?" Alex said and then looked at her.
If Alice had a working heart, then she felt like it would have exploded at that moment.
Showing a large smile, Alice nodded.
"Sure, my prince charming" was all Alice said as she gave a slight giggle.
