Chapter 4

EPOV

The first part of the night proved to be uneventful and rather boring. I had to drag our trio to several smaller parties to unload my stash. Jasper and Emmett were pissing and moaning about why they had to go, but I reminded them on more than one occasion that they knew what they were getting into when they made me go to a fucking club on a Friday night. At the very least I was a businessman, and I had promised to bring my goodies to several of the Forks High Friday night gatherings. I was nothing if not a man of my word.

So after a little over an hour and a half, we were finally headed for the club. Emmett, who had been snoring in the back seat for about thirty minutes, was now full of energy. He was bouncing on his seat yelling to turn on the music so he could “Get this party started in here!” and he kept pointing to his dick. Fucking Emmett was an idiot, but he made me laugh.

When we pulled up into the parking lot, we were surprised that it was so crowded. We couldn’t find a regular park, and we were forced to use the valet. Jasper was pissed. Even though we all agreed to chip in and help pay, he knew that by the time it came time to leave, we would probably not be leaving with him or would be too drunk to find our money. He kept mumbling to himself about what a shit time he was going to have tonight.

Emmett and I just laughed at him, and strolled up to the velvet rope. There was a long line to get into the club, and most of the people looked like they had been standing there since Christmas. There was no way I was going to the end of that line. I would rather hang paper streamers with Bucktooth. I started to hand the bouncer a “c note” clearly cutting into tonight’s profits, but Emmett beat me to the punch by yelling, “Yo, Dude. What the fuck? You know those fine ladies in da club need some studs to help them rub. You’re only letting in the chicks, but what’s a dance club without some dicks.” As he said his last rhyme, he pulled his arms to his chest and did a circular roll all the while perfecting the white man’s over bite.

That was it. We would never get in now. Fucking Emmett and his need to be a rap star. We turned to leave, but the bouncer actually laughed. He pulled the rope to the side, and motioned for us to go through. As we walked past, trying to look cool, he stopped Emmett and whispered, “Don’t think for a minute I won’t hesitate to throw you and your underage friends here out of the club if you act a fool. So don’t act your age and just be cool.” Emmett just swaggered on through as if nothing was even said.

Anyone that has been in a dance club before can tell you that the first few minutes are the most intense. You hear the dull beat of the bass, you feel the pulse of the music throw the walls, you smell the stale beer and cigarettes from the nights before, and you see….darkness. It is always so fucking dark in the hallways. By the time you finally enter the main room with the lights and the dance floor your heart is pounding in your chest and you are feeling ten feet tall. Nothing could stop us now. I eyed Emmett and Jasper and they gave a little head nod. This was always the plan. We separated so we can divide and conquer. The ladies never know what has hit them by the time we have our sites on them.

The first thing is to locate the best piece of ass in the place. Some nights this can be close to impossible. Even after the beer goggles have skewed our vision, we still can’t find someone remotely interesting to make our move on.

I strolled up to the bar and ordered a beer. Jasper was right. Having something in your hands did seem to help and not make you feel awkward. I took a long swig out of my bottle and leaned my back against the bar. I silently scanned the crowd. No doubt about it, there was some fine looking bitches here tonight. Who was going to be the lucky lady?

I wanted a challenge tonight. All this talk of virgins and pussy had me jonesing for some tight snatch. I had my eye on the prize, and I just had to find my contest for the night. Just then, I saw a rather compelling test in the form of a beautiful brunette with soft brown eyes.

She was standing in the corner of the dance floor having a good time with what looked like five other friends. She looked innocent and shy as she blushed when one of the girls tried to grind onto her leg. She laughed and shook her head, clearly not as comfortable as the other girls.

I had found my quest for the evening, and as I pushed myself off of the bar, I whispered to myself, “Let’s Play!!”

As I motioned for Jasper and Emmett to follow my lead, they too noticed the group of girls. They gave me the “that’s what I am talking about” nod, and we descended upon the women like wolves to a slaughter.

Just when I was close enough to make eye contact, my fucking phone vibrated. “Jessica.” God damn I didn’t have time for this shit. I looked at the screen and received her message, “I am here asshole, so let’s get this over with.” I had a good mind to ignore her, but I was a sucker for the paper. I would stop time itself to make a buck.

I glanced back up, and noticed my beauty staring straight at me. She had the cutest fucking smile on her face, and as soon as she realized we had locked eyes, she looked away and blushed all over her body. Now that was adorable.

Jasper motioned for me to make the first move seeing that I had already made a connection with one of them, but I had to pause the game. Work was calling. I turned and made my way to the back of the club. I knew where there was an exit to the back alley. I could prop open the door so I could get back in after I was finished.

The door banged open, and Jessica jumped a mile high. She had clearly been waiting a while, and was not in the best of moods. Like I gave a rat's ass. “You got my shit?” she asked. “What do I have to do for it?” she prepared to lower her body to the ground.

I rolled my eyes. “Get the fuck up. Just give me the money, and you can go.” Believe it or not, she looked hurt like I had broken her heart or something. God, for the rest of my life, I will never understand women. The more you treat them like shit, the more they want you. Ridiculous.

She handed me the money, and I gave her a baggie full of my finest. Without any further words, I returned to the exit door. I could tell Jessica was shocked, but I had a girl to meet. I didn’t need a whore on her knees. As I closed the exit door, I swear I heard a sob. God damn women.

Upon returning to the dance floor, I could see that our plan was in full action. Jasper and Emmett had worked their way up to the women and were waiting for my return. I was ready for action. However, fate was cockblocking me big time. I felt someone approaching me as I turned to see my nightmare.

“Hello Eddie!” Tanya purred as she grazed my cheek with her hand. I thought I was going to be sick. That hand alone had held more dick then my jock strap. “Hello Tanya. And don’t fucking call me Eddie!” She knew I hated that shit, but she loved to stir me up.

“Now Eddie, I see where you are headed. I told you that my girls would catch your eye. Would you like me to introduce you, or are you and the boys still trying to ‘divide and conquer’? Tell me you guys aren’t still using that pick up style are you?” Tanya laughed at me.

God I hated this bitch. I wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of slapping the ho, she would probably like it. Instead I lied. “God, Tanya. What do you think? We aren’t rookies anymore. I know how to pick up a girl. I can have anyone here I want, and you know it.” I hope I sounded confident 'cause I felt like a douche.

Tanya gave a condescending laugh, “Oh silly Eddie. When will you ever learn? I know a girl you could never have in a million years. She is so pure and sweet, cotton candy melts around her. You up for a wager big man?”

How could I pass up this challenge? I know I had planned on the brunette, but she would have to wait for another night for the Edward Cullen Express Special. “Tanya, hit me with your best shot. You know I can hit anything you throw my way. What or who were you proposing I do for your evening's pleasure? Bring it on!”

“Just follow my lead. I will introduce you to her. I promise if you get this one, I will be your beckon call girl for the rest of my life.” Now, that just wouldn’t do.

“Wait just a minute Tanya! Where is MY reward? That sounds like a punishment. If you really want to challenge me, you have to give me my motivation.” I had her right where I wanted her. “How about if I get the girl, you let me tell your dirty little secrets all over school? If I don’t, you can have freebies for the rest of your life. What do you say?”

“Your confidence is refreshing, but I am afraid you have met your match. You’re on. Let’s do this.” She turned on her heel and sashayed over to the corner of the dance floor. The very same corner where Jasper and Emmett were waiting for me. No fucking way. This couldn’t be happening.

As soon as she walked up to the group, she put her hand out to the brunette that had caught my eye earlier. “Bella, I would like to introduce you to an old friend of mine. Bella, this is Edward. Edward, this is Bella. Now you two be good.” She made to leave but stopped and laughed, “Oh and Bella, this one has been with more girls than a woman’s restroom at The Seahawk’s stadium. I would watch out for him,” and she winked at me.

Fucking bitch! That just stepped up the challenge, but to me, it made it interesting, not impossible.

I smiled my most brilliant smile and placed a hand over my heart. “Hello, Bella. Will you marry me?”

BPOV

I was shocked to say the least as Tanya walked over with the very same man I had been making eye contact with and smiling at fifteen minutes ago.

I had no come back to the ‘will you marry me’ line, I just stood there speechless as he smiled at me. It was the crappiest and funniest pick up line I had ever heard. Okay, I had never had a pick up line used on me before and I kind of liked it when it came out of his mouth.

“Wanna dance?” he said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and led me a little way from my friends. I felt an excited chill run down my back as his fingers touched my bare shoulder, goosebumps appeared all over my arms. What was going on with me? I had never felt anything like this before. It was a little scary and exciting at the same time.

I still had not spoken one word as Edward's hands wrapped around my waist. I was slightly nervous. I hadn’t been with anyone before and had no idea how to react.

He just smiled at me and pulled my stiff body into his. He was so gorgeous. He smelt so nice, he had a spice to him I couldn’t put my finger on; I was sure I had never smelt it before. My body relaxed into his as the beat changed into a new song and we started moving with the music.

He was such a good dancer, he knew how to move. Edward's hands moved and caressed my back. I couldn’t help but sigh into his chest as he hugged me closer. This was so nice. I was a little dizzy if I shut my eyes, but I felt so safe in his arms I didn’t worry. I was wondering if it was the flashing lights that was making me feel this way. I did feel a little strange. I wasn’t about to move out of Edward's arms though.

I was surprised that I didn’t mind him moving his hands up and down my back. I didn’t normally like to be touched I liked my own space, but I wanted him to pull me in tighter it just felt so right. This so wasn’t me. I needed to stop thinking and go with it, I liked it even if it was scary and new.

Edward pulled away a bit. I thought he was going to let me go and had woken up to his senses. I felt disappointed, but he didn’t release me as I expected him to. The way he looked at me and gave me a smile made my legs feel like jelly. I almost felt like I couldn’t hold my own weight up! I sighed internally as I looked into his eyes. Even if this was for just one night I was going to enjoy every minute I had with him. I gave him a small smile back and his smile grew and pulled me into him again.

I could feel his muscles through his shirt, he had to work out and be into sports. So not like me at all. This was definitely a one time thing. He would get to know me and realize I wasn’t this girl.

Edward’s head was rested on my shoulder. I could feel his breath on my bare shoulders. It was sending shivers down my spine again. I ran my hands up his back and couldn’t believe I touched him and wanted him.

I felt him kiss my shoulder blade gently as he moved up my collarbone to the base of my neck. I held onto him tighter as he peppered little kisses all the way up to my ear.

“I am so glad I met you tonight Bella,” he murmured into my ear, kissing my earlobe. He was going to have to hold me up at this rate, my legs felt like jello.

I pulled away a little with my head so I could look at him. “So am I,” I mouthed to him as he couldn’t hear me above the music.

He bent down and our lips touched. He sucked my bottom lip into his mouth gently and ran one of his hands up my back. The room became quiet and it felt like we were the only two people there, as he deepened the kiss.

I had never even been kissed before, I couldn’t believe how right this felt. My hand was being tugged away from his back. I was confused at first as I was pulled away from him.

“Owww...” I yelled, not really understanding what was going on. I looked back at Edward who was smirking at the person behind me.

I turned around and saw Tanya. What the hell? “What do you think you are playing at Tanya?”

“What do you think I am playing at?” Tanya yelled at me, “What are you doing Bella? This isn’t you!”

“Who cares?” I said to her, “I am having fun, I never have fun. I am fine. Trust me.” I was slightly exasperated at her. She wanted me to loosen up. Then when I did loosen up it wasn’t right either. I couldn’t win with this girl.

Edward moved in closer and put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close into him, “You see Tanya, Bella is fine.” He said kissing the top of my head. Aww.. I relaxed into him again. I really liked him.

“Bella,” Tanya started again, “I just, just think you should come back and join the girls.”

She sounded so unsure of herself it was strange. I looked over to the other girls who were all busy dancing and having fun with boys of their own.

“Tanya, I am fine. Go and enjoy yourself.” And I turned back to Edward who was grinning from ear to ear at Tanya, who just screamed and stomped off towards the bathrooms. What was with her?

“Come on, don’t worry about her. She has always been a tad dramatic.” Edward leaned in and spoke into me ear, then pulled back to look back at me again.

“Don’t I know it,” I mouthed back to him, smiling. Edward smiled a little smirk at me, he leaned down and captured my lips again bringing my body snug up against his and swaying to the music, his hand resting in the small of my back. I could feel his fingers on my panty line. I suddenly wanted to be somewhere more private. I wanted to see his chest. I wondered what he would look like naked. I felt my stomach do a little flip at the thoughts of his lips all over my body.

I was really shocked at how my mind had gone. I had never had these feelings before and I didn’t know what to do about it. I suddenly felt very shy.

“Shall we get another drink?” Edward murmured into my ear.

I nodded my head in agreement but it was the last thing on my mind. I wanted to stay with him on the dance floor away from the others. I would do anything he wanted to do though. I would follow him anywhere. I needed to snap out of it, this wasn’t me. I never took risks, everything was always in order and perfect. Sigh, but he was perfect. Surely one night couldn’t hurt? Just one night of being carefree, and not worrying about grades couldn’t be so wrong?

Edward slid his hand down my arm and took my hand leading me over to Alice, Rose and Rachel. They were all dancing with other boys. I couldn’t see Tanya. I wondered where she had run off to. I hoped she was alright.

My girls looked like they were all having a good time. “Could everyone use a drink?” Edward screamed above the music to them.

They all nodded at him, the bigger boy giving him a thumbs up sign, he turned back to Rose and smirked, shaking his ass around to the beat of the music. I couldn’t help but laugh at his antics.

I felt soft lips again on my ear and another shiver ran all the way down to the bottom of my stomach. What the hell was wrong with me? “I’ll be right back, don’t go anywhere okay?” he murmured into my ear, moving back. I looked up into his eyes and I couldn’t help the smile that I was sure was on my face.

I moved into him and stood up on my tip toes and kissed his lips, shocking both him and I in the process at how brazen I had become in such a short amount of time. Edward smirked and winked at me, letting my hand go as I watched him weave his way through the crowd to the bar.

I sighed and looked over at Rachael who was smiling at me and winked as well which made me laugh. The bigger boy moved Rose closer to me and whistled over to the blond haired boy to get his attention. We all huddled in so we could hear what he had to say above the music.

“I am going to have a little get together back at my place, would you girls like to join us?” he asked, pulling Rose into his side and kissing her neck. I saw her smile. Wow, we all looked like we were moving fast.

Rose looked over to Alice and both of them gazed at each other and nodded their heads. Then they turned to looked at Rachael and me, I just shrugged at Rach, I didn’t really mind at this point what was going to happen. I just wanted to be with Edward. I wanted to run my hands through his bronze streaked messy hair and feel his lips on my neck again.

Speaking of Edward, I saw him manoeuvring through the crowd carefully trying to not get hit by other dancers with a tray of cokes. It surprised me the boys were drinking coke as well. I would have thought they would be drinking. I smiled thinking that maybe I was wrong about my first impressions. Maybe he wasn’t such a bad boy after all.

“Here you go Bella,” Edward smiled at me as I couldn’t believe how thirsty I was and nearly drank it all in one go. It was just so nice and cold, but it still tasted a little funny. But it wasn’t a bad taste. I decided to ignore it when I noticed everyone else drinking it not making comments.

“Wow you must have been thirsty?” He smiled down at me drinking his quickly as well.

I smiled and nodded back to him, “It is getting hot in here,” I said fanning myself a little.

“Hey bro?” I heard the big boy’s voice from behind me, “Wanna get out of here?” Edward looked down at me and bent down to me.

“Do you want to spend some time with me alone, Bella?” Edward asked, kissing just below my ear on my neck.

I nodded my head at him in confirmation that I did so want to spend time with him alone.

“Or would you rather head back to Emmett’s with the others?” he said grazing his teeth on my skin.

Oh, god that felt so good. No, I definitely did not want to go back to Emmett’s, wherever that may be. I shook my head and smiled up at him. Edward captured my lips and ran his tongue over my bottom lip, I instantly opened my mouth and he deepened the kiss touching my tongue with his.

One of his hands was in my hair and the other was almost on my ass. My hands fisted his shirt and I moaned in to his mouth as his hand moved a little. My whole body felt alive.

“Whoooo hooo... goooo Eddiieeee!!” We heard over the music. Edward groaned and pulled away from me, grabbing my hand.

“Bella and I are getting out of here, alone” he said raising his eyebrows to Emmett, “we want to spend a bit of time getting to know one another without being interrupted by you Emmett.” He said looking at him trying to look a little annoyed. I could tell he wasn’t mad though.

Emmett just rolled his eyes, “Whatever man, you don’t know what you are going to be missing,” he grinned waggling his eyebrows at Edward, “Come on guys,” he motioned at the rest of the group, “let’s blow this joint.” He yelled jumped and punched a fist in the air. Rose already was laughing at Emmett, you couldn’t help but smile at him.

I could feel Edward shaking a little and I looked up at him and saw Edward shaking his head laughing at Emmett’s stupidity. He seemed to be a fun loving guy.

Alice ran up to me and grabbed my free hand trying to pull me away from Edward. He wouldn’t let go though and I was being pulled between the two a little. “What is it Alice?” I mouthed to her a little annoyed. I didn’t want leave him, I didn’t want him to change his mind.

Alice leaned into my ear, "We are going to the bathroom NOW!" she said forcefully to me, I knew I didn't have a choice in the matter.

"Okay fine," I yelled back to her to get over the noise of the club, "I will just tell Edward I will be right back."

Alice rolled her eyes and let me go.

I put my arms back around Edward and stood on my tip toes and got close to his ear, "I'll be right back okay?" I spoke as loudly as I could without shouting in his poor ear.

Edward let me go but looked a little disappointed, "Make sure you do," he said back to me with a sexy smirk.

I turned back to Alice who proceeded to drag me off to the bathroom, as soon as the noise died down when the door closed behind us, she pounced.

“Are you sure you want to go off with this guy alone?” Alice looked at me concerned.

“I am fine Alice truly,” I smiled trying to reassure her. “Go and have fun, I’ll see you back at your place or Emmett’s in the morning. I’ll be fine.”

"Bella, we don't know anything about them." Alice started to argue with me.

"Alice, I want to go please!" I started to whine, "I have never felt like this before, I am going, I want to go please be happy for me."

She hugged me, “I love you, be careful okay?” she still looked a little worried but led me back out side to where everyone was.

I nodded my head at her when we arrived back and she let me go, Edward pulled me back and tucked me back into his side. I couldn’t help but giggle, it was nice to be wanted, “Shall we go?” he mouthed to me.

I smiled and nodded to him. I couldn’t wait until we were alone.
