Awesome update!! I really loved this chapter, especially this:
Partway to the stairs Charlie stopped. He intended to call something back at Alice, but when he turned to face the kitchen again the words died on his lips as he watched Alice glide over to Bella and wrap her arms around her waist from behind as she pressed her lips against Bella’s shoulder.
Charlie closed his eyes and took a deep calming breath.
‘She’s an adult now, she’s an adult now,’ he chanted in his head, hoping that one day he would actually feel that way because as much as he loved the kid, whenever he saw them touching like that he kind of wanted to kick Alice out of the house, shriek at her in a hysterical voice, and then barricade the doors.
Most of the time, Alice was sweet as apple pie, but every once in a while she’d touch Bella like that, or look at her with a particular expression in her eyes, and Charlie knew exactly what she was thinking about and had to use all of his strength not to go get his shotgun in an attempt to protect Bella’s chastity.
‘She’s an adult now, she’s an adult now,’ Charlie repeated as Bella turned around in the loose circle of Alice’s arms and pressed her lips against Alice’s, her hands lifting to cup Alice’s face as she kissed her slowly.
Charlie ripped his gaze away from the two of them. He didn’t need to or want to see the two of them like that … ever.
‘She’s an adult now, she’s an adult now,’ Charlie chanted once more continuing on his way to the stairs, even though he still really hoped that she was virginal adult.
Whoa, that was a bit long, but lol I LOVED it so much :D
