Chapter 1
I was driving as fast as I could without being pulled over. I had my first meeting with my personal trainer today and I was late. When I finally got there I parked beside my brother Jasper's pick up. I grabbed my bag and went inside. I there was a man standing at the counter. He was around 6 feet tall, with messy bronze hair a chiselled face and green eyes. His body was well muscled. He was gorgeous. He walked over to me.
"Can I help you?" He asked.
"Um, I'm looking for an Edward Cullen?" I said.
"Ah Miss Swan. I'm Edward your personal trainer." He said. I smiled. Wow this guy is my personal trainer?
"Mr. Cullen it's nice to meet you. Jasper said you are one of the best." I said.
"Call me Edward, and I pride myself on finding ways to motivate my clients to meet their goals. Now Miss Swan if you don't mind please step into my office so I can take your weight. To monitor your progress." I nodded. He took my measurements.
"Miss Swan."
"Bella." I corrected.
"Bella, what would you like to work on?" He asked.
"Weight loss."
"Um, I don't mean to sound rude but where do you plan on lossing weight?" I pointed to my hips. My loving boyfriend had mentioned it on numerous occasions that I was getting fat. I thought sarcastically. He burst out laughing. I looked at me offended. "I'm sorry Bella but I honestly don't see any excess weight anywhere that you need to get rid of. Your weight is the perfect for you body frame and height." He said. "I also don't work on clients that have problems I don't believe they have. So if you want weight loss training you'll have to go to someone else."
"Ok, well what else do you do?" I asked.
"I do endurance training, self defense, fitness, strength, aerobics and flexiblity." Wow this guy is versatile.
"Can we do self defence and strength?" He nodded.
"Of course." He said.
"How much is it?" I asked.
"I generally charge $150 for the 6 weeks but since you are my best friend's sister I'll charge you $100." I took out my wallet. "No Bella I only accept money after my client has reached their goal." He said.
"Ok, well when can we start?" I asked.
"Anytime you want. Just tell me what days and time." We agreed on 3 days a week Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 3:30 for an hour. I wanted to start immediately so he took me to the treadmill to warm up. He set my machine to a speed just above walking pace.
"I'll be back in 15 minutes if you feel any strains before then please come off. I'm going to set up the room for us to get started. If I'm not back by then you can ask Jasper to take you to the room." He said. I nodded and he left. I started walking. I decided to turn up my machine since there was no one else walking. Wrong thing to do. I felt my leg muscle pull. I turned of the machine and sat on the chair beside it. I held my leg.
"Bella are you ok?" I heard Edward ask. I looked up at him.
"I kinda sped up the machine and I think I pulled a muscle." I said truthfully slightly embarrassed.
"Alright." He picked me up and carried me into the room we were suppose to work out in with ease. He placed me on the bench.
"Where exactly hurts?" He asked. He touched it. He placed his hand on the spot and I winced. He rolled up the leg of my sweat pants to look at it. There was a slight bruise forming and an older one fading.
"What happened right here?" He said pointing to the fading one just above her knee.
"Oh I fell down the stairs." I lied. I looked at my leg cringing at the disgusting yellow spot just above my knee where my boyfriend hit me. Edward walked back into the room with a Hot and Cold pack.
"Alright. Hold it on your leg for awhile." He said.
"So Edward tell me about yourself." He looked up at me.
"What would you like to know?" He asked.
"Well for starters how old are you?"
"29." He said.
"Wow you don't look it." I said. He just shrugged. "What made you want to become a personal trainer?"
"Well I wanted to be a cardiologist but then I went to med school. I was about to perform a surgery I made the incision only to throw up when I smelt the blood. So I figured why not be something that helps prevent people for going to get heart surgery." I laughed.
"What a waste huh?" He nodded.
"So do you have any siblings?" I asked.
"Yes a brother. Unfortunately I'm the youngest." I smiled sympathetically.
"I know how it feels. Jasper can be a pain sometimes."
"Emmett's like that all the time." He said. "At least now he has a wife to control him."
"What does Emmett do for a living?" I asked.
"He works here actually. It's kinda like a family run business. He is the guy most athletes go to, my dad is in charge mainly of sports related injuries and he does weight loss, my mom is for yoga as well as Emmett wife Rosalie and then Jazz does the same stuff I do." I nodded.
"How's the leg?" He asked. I looked down at my leg remembering that I pulled the muscle.
"It's feeling a bit better." I said. He walked over to me and took off the Hot and Cold pack. "It's a bit numb though."
"That's ok. I'm just going to rub it and then call my dad. So he can get a better look at it." He said. I nodded and he rubbed some Bengay on my leg. He left to call his father. He came back with a man around his height with a leaner body. He had blonde hair with a few gray streaks. I could see where Edward got his good looks from.
"Dad this is Bella, my newest client. Bella my father Carlisle." Edward said.
"Hello Dr. Cullen." I said.
"Call me Carlisle. I might be old but that doesn't mean I want to feel like it." I laughed.
"Ok so what have we here?" He asked.
"Well Bella over here decided that after I set her machine she should speed it up and pulled a leg muscle." Edward said. I blushed slightly embarrassed at how unfit I sounded.
"Ok that makes me sound either unfit, stupid or weird." I said.
"Or maybe all three." Edward said.
"Wow what happened to the whole motivating your clients speech?" I asked sarcastically. They both laughed.
"Oh that's only for weight loss and you aren't doing that." He said. I raised an eyebrow at him. "I'm kidding. When was the last time you've been to a gym?" He asked.
"First time." I said.
"See it's expected. Then again you must have really good genes to have been just setting foot in a gym at 23 and looking as good as you do." Carlisle said.
"Well Jasper is my brother." I said. "Wait are you trying to make me feel better for pulling a leg muscle on the treadmill?" I asked.
"Is it working?" Edward asked. I burst out laughing.
"You Cullen men really have a way with words." I said.
"Except Emmett. Word vomit extraordinare." Carlisle said wrapping my leg.
"So what's the verdict?" I asked. He chuckled.
"Well, it's a small strain of the muscle. Just ice then heat, ice, heat some pain killer wrap and you should be fine in about a week." He said to me. "Edward make sure she doesn't do anything too strenous. Mainly hand exercises until then I think Esme's yoga will help strengthen the muscles." He added.
"Thank you Carlisle." I said.
"Your welcome Bella, it was nice to meet you." He said.
"Thanks
dad."
"I'll see you later son." He said.
"Ok Bella do you feel up to anything?" Edward asked.
"Can I try the hand weights?" I asked.
"Bella how about we pull one muscle at a time." He chuckled. I frowned. "How about some sit ups?" I nodded. He handed me an exercise ball. I showed me how to sit on it and what to do explaining where it works.
"Alright in comparison to regular situps where you only get 180 degrees this gives you 200 degrees so it makes the lower abs as well." He said. I went at it for about 20 minutes. I tried getting up but my stomach hurt. I winced at the pain. He saw and chuckled before putting out his hand to help me stand up.
"Thanks." I muttered.
"Your welcome. This is all we're doing today so when you go home run warm water on the muscles and you should be fine." He said. I nodded. "You did well today. My other clients can barely do 20 and we went to 50."
"Thank you. Aside from the pain I had fun." I said.
"Well I'm glad. Now when you go home have some ice-cream. Not too much though I don't want to have to send you to my dad for weight loss." He chuckled.
"Wait do you go around telling your clients to go eat ice-cream?" I asked. He shook his head.
"No just you because I want you to get fat so I can see you more often." He joked. I laughed but then winced at the pain in my stomach. He laughed at me.
"Not funny." I said hitting his shoulder. He rubbed it acting like it hurt.
"Goodbye Edward." I said.
"Bye Bella, I'll see you Wednesday." He said. I nodded.
"Later Jazz." I said to my brother who was walking down the hall.
"I'll call you tonight Bells." He said. I left and walked to my car. I drove home to the apartment I shared with my abusive boyfriend.
"Hi Jake I'm home." I said.
"Bitch where the hell have you been?" He asked.
"I went to the gym like you said I should." I said.
"For what?" He asked.
"To lose weight. You said I was fat." He laughed and then spat on me.
"No one can help you get rid of that fat ass." He said. I wiped my face and went into the kitchen to cook his dinner.
"See you come from the gym and you eat food. That's all you think about." He said. I ignored him and continued cooking. When I finished I dished his food in a plate.
"You would think that with the amount of food you eat you would at least know how to cook a proper meal." He said stuffing his face. When he was finished he hit me. It was a cycle. I came home and cooked dinner while he criticized me and hit me. I was going to break up with him but I was waiting until after my self defence classes. If I did it now I know for sure he would kill me or put me in the hospital. I waited for him to go to bed then I lay on the couch and fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning at 7:30. I went into the kitchen to make Jacob breakfast. I plated eggs, bacon and pancakes for him and drank a cup of coffee and had a cereal bar. He came down stairs a few minutes later and ate breakfast without saying a word to me.
"Um Jake I'm going to work now." I said. He looked up at me then went back to eating. I left and drove to my office. I did my job trying to cover up the pain I felt as best as I could so my co-workers wouldn't suspect anything. I sat at my desk doing paper work when my office phone rang.
"Bella Swan." I said.
"Hey Bells." It was my brother.
"Hey Jazz. What's up?"
"Nothing just checking on my baby sis." There was a pause. "So how was your first training session?" He asked. I smiled remembering Edward.
"It was pretty good despite the pain." I said touching my stomach. He chuckled.
"That's expected. Edward said you did well for your first day."
"He's a good trainer." I said.
"That he is. You wanna go for drinks with us tomorrow?" He asked.
"Who is us?"
"Me, Edward, his brother Emmett, Emmett's wife Rosalie and Alice."
"I'll have to ask Jake." I said.
"Bella you're a grown woman. You can make your own decisions. Just tell him you're going out for drinks and you'll be back tomorrow morning. You're going to spend the night with me." He said. I nodded. "Bells I can't see you nodding." He said. I blushed.
"Anyway Jazz is Edward at the gym right now?" I asked.
"Um yeah."
"Is he busy?"
"Hold on." I heard him talking in the background. "No Bells he's free for the rest of the afternoon. His afternoon client cancelled on him."
"Can you ask him if I can come by and do some work?"
"He wants to know what you have in mind."
"Just some upper body strength."
"Alright he says you can come by in about half an hour."
"Thanks. I'll see you then." I left work and drove home to get some clothes. When I got to the gym Edward was waiting at the counter.
"You couldn't stay away huh?"He teased. I rolled my eyes.
"Don't get cocky now." I warned.
"Too late." He said.
"Very funny Edward." I said shaking my head at him.
"So you ready to get started?" He asked.
"Yup lead the way." I said.
"So how's the leg?" He asked as we walked down the hall.
"It's feeling a lot better. I took some ibuprofin this morning. I iced and heated it last night."
"Good but we aren't going to start self defence training until around late next week. I want to make sure your healed completely before we do anything too strenous." He said. I nodded. He opened the door and let me walk in before him. Something Jacob never did for me. I mumbled a thanks.
"Alright I'm going to teach you technique first. For the arm weights you go like this. Watch me do it then you try." He said. He did an arm curl and I watched as the muscles in his arm expand and contract. He handed me a five pound weight and I did the same thing he did.
"Good now do it again." He said. "Do 10 repetitions."
"Alright
next hand." I did them. He gave me his hand. I took it and he
helped me stand up. He lead me over to the
chin up bar. He placed his hands on my hips and lifted me up. When I
was able to reach the bar I grabbed it with both hands. He didn't
move his hands as he helped me go up and down. Eventually he stopped
helping me and I did about 5 on my own. I groaned as I did the fifth
one. I felt his warm hands on my sides.
"Alright let go." He
said. I loosened my grip and he helped me to the floor. "Lie back."
He ordered. I did. He stood above me and stretched my arms above my
head. "Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah. I'm good." I said. He helped me up.
"Do you think your up for some bench pressing?" He asked.
"Not today."
"Alright we'll start on that next class. Are you coming for drinks with us?" He asked. I nodded. "Good." He said. "You can take a break if you want to."
"I think I'll do that."
"Cool when you're ready you can come back in here." He said. I left and went to look for Jasper. I walked along the hallway.
"Excuse me can I help you?" I turned to see a blonde bombshell in a pair of yoga pants and a half shirt showing off her toned stomach.
"Um, I'm just looking for Jasper. I'm on my break and I thought I'd just say hi you know since I'm already here." I said.
"Oh, follow me." She lead me down the hall. "So how do you know Jasper?" She asked.
"He's my older brother." I said.
"Oh so your Bella, I'm Rosalie." She said.
"Oh your Edward's brother Emmett's wife." I said. She nodded.
"Edward's your Personal Trainer right?"
"Yup."
"He was right you are pretty." I blushed.
"What it's true." She said.
"Well Edward is very good looking." I said. She raised an eyebrow at me. "Ok he's freaking hot. I mean his arms are, and his face is gorgeous and he is hilarious."
"You've got it bad. Why don't you just ask him out? He hasn't been on a date in years." She said.
"I can't go out with him." I said.
"Why not?" She asked.
"I have a boyfriend." I said sadly.
"Sounds like you aren't happy with him."
"I'm
not and I just can't break up with him at least not yet."
"What
are you going to Edward for?"
"Self defence." I said.
"Abusive relationship huh?"
"How did you know?" I asked.
"I was in one. Edward helped me out of it and then introduced me to his brother. He's a sweet kid. I would have dated him but I prefer older guys. Plus we are more like brother and sister than anything." She said. "I think you should let him help you."
"How did he help you?" I asked.
"He basically dealt with the problem. Going to my ex and confronting him. He's pretty intimidating when he wants to be." She said.
"I can only imagine."
"Yeah. I can't believe he isn't dating though. It's a bit of a shock to me." I nodded. "But I still think you have to tell someone about it." She said.
"I'll think about it. You have to promise me you won't tell anyone. Especially Jasper." I begged.
"Ok I won't but please let Edward help you."
"I'll tell him when I get back to my session." She nodded. Since Jasper was busy in a lesson I just waved and Rose walked me back to my room.
"Tell him." She pressed.
"I will." I whispered before opening the door. She left. I walked in to see Edward bench pressing what looked like 100 pounds. He grunted as he pushed his arms up. It was an almost animalistic sound. He was so sexy. Shirtless and sweaty with his skin flushed. I looked at his well defined chest. The tendons in his arms popping out under the skin and his biceps and triceps flexing. His abs. Oh his glorious abs. What is that an 8 pack? I sighed. Hotness overload. He abruptly stopped lifting put the weights back in the holder and sat up.
"Bella? How long have you been standing there?" He asked.
"Not very." I said. He nodded and went to put back on his shirt. "Edward can I talk to you?" I asked.
"Sure what's up?"
"Um I was talking to Rosalie and she was telling me about you. She said you hadn't had a date in a really long time." I started off.
"Bella will you go out with me?" He asked.
"That's the thing I can't. I have a boyfriend."
"Oh, I'm sorry forget I asked." He said.
"No Edward I want to go out with you. This brings me to the main issue. Rose told me about how you helped her." I said.
"Oh God don't tell me you're in one of those relationships." He said. I nodded sadly. "Let me guess you want to break up with him but you're afraid he'll kill you or you'll end up in the hospital?" I nodded again. "Where has he hit you?" He asked. I lifted my shirt to show him my bruises. He gasped. "How did this happen?" I explained everything to him. He agreed to teach me self defense.
"Edward you have to promise not to tell Jasper." I said.
"Bella I can't lie to my best friend especially about his little sister." He said.
"Please
Edward." I begged.
"I can't promise but if he doesn't mention
it I won't bring it up." He said. I hugged him on impulse.
"Thank you so much." He hugged me back.
"At least I have your number and address so I can check on you if anything." He said. I nodded releasing him.
"Bella I want you to be prepared for anything ok. When some one attacks you specifically a man always aim for the groin, the temple, the neck, shoulders, knees, shins and ankles." I nodded.
"You have to have a strong stance but be light on your feet at the same time." He said. "Stand like this." He got into a fighting stance. I tried to imitate it. He moved and stood behind me. He shifted my upper body to the side.
"Turn your shoulder over more give them less of your body to hit." I nodded. "Also your hair try to put it in a bun never in a ponytail or out. It gives him something to pull on. Keep your knees bent and bounce and the balls of your feet. Never be flat footed." He instructed. I did as he said.
"Good you have the stance down. Let's get to work on your punching." He led me to a bag.
"When you punch pull back from your arm pit and throw as much of your weight into it as possible without losing your balance. Don't throw you body behind the punch not just your shoulder. Most people on use their shoulder and that's how they get injured. Like this and not like this." He demonstrated both ways on the punching bag. "Now you try." I tried to throw my body into it like he said. He stood behind me and placed his hands on my hips. "Keep your legs on the ground and turn from the waist up." He instructed. I nodded. "Feels a lot better doesn't it?"
"Yeah it does." I said.
"Keep going at it until you feel the need to take a break. If you over exert yourself you'll be useless and he'll walk right over you." I nodded and did as he said.
I watched as Bella practiced her punches just like I taught her.
"Bella turn your waist more." I said as I saw her form slipping. She nodded and corrected. "Place one leg a little bit in front of the other. It'll give you more power." She did it and I could hear the improvement in the strength of her punches. I let her go at it for about 5 more minutes before I told her to stop.
"Let's do some more sit ups." I said. She groaned. "Come on Bella you have to do it for you abdominal strength. I don't doubt he'll get some hits on your stomach and you have to be ready."
"But I hate sit ups." She whined.
"Do you want me to do them with you?" I asked. She nodded. "Fine we're going to go for 15 today and I'm not stopping. If you do for each one I do more than you, you have 10 pushups."
"Meanie." She muttered. I chuckled.
"If you want we can take a little break before we start." I suggested. She shook her head.
"No let's just get this done and over with." She said. I got out the exercise balls and we got to work. In the end she missed out 3 so she had to do 30 pushups. After about 5 she fell to the floor. I rolled my eyes at her. "Come on Swan you can do it." I said. She scowled at me and lay on the floor. "This is cake. I could do this with one hand."
"This is coming from Mr. Muscle head." She muttered.
"Hey I resent that. I'm just pushing you to do your best Bella. I know you can do it."
"Whatever Edward."
"Alright I'll do them for you how about that?" She nodded. I got into push up position. "Hop on." I said.
"What?" She asked.
"Lie flat on my back." I ordered.
"Are you serious?" I nodded.
"You're going to be my new weight." I said.
"But I'm heavy." She complained.
"Bella I generally left 100 pounds. 14 pounds extra isn't going to kill me." I said.
I felt her body lie unto mine. I relished in the feeling of her soft curves against the hard lines of my back.
"How may extra do you have?" I asked.
"25." I shuddered inwardly as her breath tickled my ear. I nodded and she rested her head in the crook of my neck. I felt her toes trail up my leg.
"Bella stop." I said.
"Stop what?" She asked innocently as she dragged up and down my leg.
"You know what I'm talking about. Now stop before I make us fall."
"What big strong Edward can't manage me any more?" She asked coyly.
"Yess I can but you tickling my leg isn't helping me at all." I said.
"Ok I'll stop." She stayed true to her word and I was able to finish.
"Show off." She mumbled.
"Aww you know you love it." I teased.
"Oh shut it."She said lightly slapping my shoulder. She walked over to the other side of the room. She winced slightly with each step.
"Come on. You're in pain." I said. I walked over to her and picked her up bridal style.
"Where are you taking me?" She asked.
"To this room we have. It has a hot tub, cold water bath and massage table. It's where employees go to relax. But you look like you've been through a lot." I said. She sighed.
"Damn you Edward." She said.
"What did I do?" I asked looking down at her.
"One minute you're cocky and pissing me off and the next minute you're being sweet." She sounded frustrated.
"Don't worry one day you'll love my cockiness and it'll turn you on." I smirked.
"See there you go again." She said. "I don't get you."
"I'm a mystery aren't I." She didn't respond. I put her to sit on one of the chairs.
"Alright, what do you want?" I asked. She pointed to the massage table. I handed her a robe. "You can change in there." I pointedd to the bathroom. She nodded and went in. I covered the table with a soft cotton towel. I got the oils ready. Before washing my hands.
I stepped out of the bathroom clad in only the fluffy white robe and my cotton panties.
"You can just lie here." Edward said. I nodded and got on the table faced down before removing the robe.
"You read?" He asked.
"Wait you're giving me my massage?" I asked.
"Um yeah unless you want someone else to. I could get Jasper or Rose or someone to do it." He suggested. I honestly didn't want my brother seeing me like this and Rose was a woman and I would feel uncomfortable with her touching me.
"It's ok you can do it. I was just surprised. I mean what don't you do?" He chuckled.
"This one is lavender and vanilla scented." He said waving his hand in front of my nose. I inhaled.
"It's nice, I like it." I said. He placed his hands in my shoulders. I felt a spark as soon as his fingers came in contact with my skin. I inwardly shivered. He started kneading my back and I couldn't control the moan that came out. This man was so good with his hands.
"God Edward." I moaned again. "Oh my God." He chuckled.
"I would marry your hands if that was legal." I said.
"Well
it's nice to know I have some redeeming qualities." He said. He
moved his hands lower and he got to a knot in my lower back.
"Over
to the right.........a little more..........a little bit more. Right
there....Ahhhhhhh!" I sighed in relief as he got to the spot that
was just begging for him to get to. By the time he finished I felt
like jelly.
"How do you feel?" He asked. I smiled lazily at him.
"My muscles feel like mush." I said.
"Glad to know you enjoyed it."
"I did very much. I am in love with your hands right now. " I said taking them in mine and kissing them. For a man's hands they were surprisingly smooth. Hard but smooth.
"Wow at least one part of me is loved." He said. I then realized the double meaning in his sentence and wondered when was the last time he got laid. I knew it was about 9 months since I got a good one but for him it could have been years. I kissed his cheek.
"You are cute." I said.
"So are you."
"Edward?" I heard my brother's voice call. I got up quickly at the sound of how close his voice sounded. I heard Edward gasp. That's when I realized what I'd done. I flashed Edward. I grabbed the robe and put it on quickly before running into the bathroom. I heard Jasper and Edward talking. He was asking about me. Edward said I was in the bathroom. They began talking about me. Jasper said he didn't like Jacob and would have preferred that I date someone else. Edward asked him if he could date me. I smiled because Jasper said that he could I broke up with Jacob. I got dressed and stepped out.
"Oh hey Jazz." I said.
"Hey Bells." He hugged me.
"How you feeling?" He asked.
"Like jelly." I said. He raised an eyebrow at me in question. "I got a massage."
"Oh Edward huh?" I nodded.
"Cool so how was training today?"
"It was pretty good. Bella was a bit lazy today though." Edward said. I frowned at him.
"Thanks for ratting me out." I said. He grinned at me. We talked for awhile until I had to leave.
"Bella you'll be by tomorrow?" Edward asked.
"Nah I have to go get some clothes, but I'll see you later when we go out for drinks." I said. He nodded.
"Later
sis."
"Bye Jazzy, see you both tomorrow." I said. I drove
home.
The next morning I woke up feeling better than I had in a long time. Jacob hadn't come home last night and I didn't get hit. I decided to check his room. He was in lying on his bed shirtless as usual but on his bed with him was a blonde woman. She was naked. I felt a tear slip down my cheek. I knew I didn't love him but it hurt that he was cheating on me. I took a deep breath and shut the door as quietly as possible. I got some clothes from the laundry room and got into my car. I drove to the mall. I parked and went into Victoria's Secret. I was determined to show myself that I didn't need Jacob at all. I chose a pair of sexy black boyshorts and matching lace bra. I went and found a skin tight navy blue dress that hugged my curves in all the right places but didn't make me look sleazy. After I found a pair of black heels and clutch. I went to the hair dresser and got a new cut. I didn't cut off too much I just got it layered. I got my nails done with just a simple french tip. I called my best friend Alice. She was dating my brother as well. I asked her if I could come over.
"Hey Ali." I said.
"Bellsy! I missed you so much!" She squealed hugging me. "What's up?"
"Ok Ali, Jake cheated on me and as you know I'm going for drinks with you guys tonight. I went shopping today and bought myself a brand new outfit that I must say I look fucking hot in. So I was planning on drinking tonight and having fun basically letting loose." I said.
"You can flirt with Edward. He's a hottie." She said.
"Are you kidding the guy is fucking sexy. And excellent with his hands." I gushed. She raised an eyebrow at me.
"Not like that Alice. He gave me a massage." I said.
"So you want me to help you with your make up?" She asked. I nodded. "Well let's get started. By the way I love what you did with your hair."
"Thanks I was going for sex hair you know. Kind of like Edward's."
"It worked." She said.
"Yay I have Edward sex hair."
"More like sex with Edward hair." She corrected. I blushed. "Sweetie come on. You plan on seducing the guy and as soon as I mention the word sex you get embarrassed you have to get used to the word if you want this to work." She said. I nodded and followed her into the bathroom. I took a shower and let her work her magic. After hours of poking, prodding, pulling, pinning, unpinning and repinning. Alice was finished. I slipped into my dress and shoes and stood in front of the mirror. Alice wolf whistled.
"Dayum Bella you look hot!" She said. I had to admit she was right. My pale skin had a shimmer to it and the red lipstick brought out the natural pouty shape of my lips.
"So do you." I said.
"Seriously Edward want be able to take his eyes and hands off of you." She said. "If I were Jacob I would be so pissed." I laughed.
"Well the guys should be by any minute." She said. I was shocked at how much time had passed.
We sat watching TV for awhile until the doorbell rang.
"They're here." She squealed.
"Who's they?" I asked. She ignored me and ran to the door.
"Hey Jazzy, Emmett and Edward." I didn't fail to notice she said his name a little louder then the others.
"Hey guys." I said.
"Whoa nelly." The big burly one shouted.
"Emmett shut up." Jasper said slapping the back of his head.
"Sorry she just looks really hot." Emmett said.
"You're married you idiot." Jasper reminded.
"Yeah but it's not a crime to look." Emmett said smugly.
"It is when she's my little sister." Jasper retorted. I giggled.
"Hi Bella." Edward said. I waved at him sheepishly. Alice nudged me in the side.
"Confidence." She whispered. "Think sexy." I nodded slightly.
"You guys ready?" I asked. They all agreed while Emmett pumped his arm through the air. We all walked back to what looked like a mutant jeep. After a few minutes of trying to move in my dress and a boost from Edward I was in the jeep sitting between Rose and Edward.
"Bella you look hot." She complimented.
"Thanks." I took in her dress. It was like mine but strapless and in red. "So do you." I said. She smiled warmly at me.
We got into the club and again Edward helped me out of the jeep. The bouncer took one look at me and let me in. That gave me a confidence boost and I held my head high and strutted into the club with Edward following behind me. I went straight for the bar and order a round of tequila shots for all of us.
"You like strong drinks?" He asked.
"Not really, I prefer fruity ones but I usually need a stiff drink to loosen up a bit when I go clubbing. It's the only way I can hunt properly without feeling self concious." I said after downing my shot. Edward did the same.
"Hunting?" He asked. I nodded.
"It's what Alice and I call it when we go looking for men. We stopped when Alice met Jasper but I go occasionally." I said.
"Oh and what do you do when you have decided on your prey?" He asked.
"Just watch and see." I smirked. The alcohol had kicked in. "You wanna dance?" I asked. He nodded and lead me to the dance floor. I leaned close to his body and he wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer. We danced together. I turned to face him. He slipped one of his legs between mine and I began grinding on his leg. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he placed his large hands firmly on my hips. He pulled me closer to his heated body until there was virtually no space between us.
"Have I complimented you on how you look tonight?" He whispered in my ear. I shook my head. "Well you look so fucking sexy I'm jealous of you're boyfriend right now. If you were single I would take you out into the alley and ravage your body in any and every way I see fit." He said huskily. Normally I would have blushed but tonight I was determined to let go of all my old ways. I leaned forward and took his earlobe between my teeth. He growled.
"Shit Bella I need a drink before I do something I'm not suppose to." He said before pulling me to the bar. We had a few more drinks and I was very tipsy.
"You're drunk." I said.
"No I'm just tipsy." He corrected.
"No you're drunk." I said poking his chest.
"I'm only tipsy. You're drunk." He countered.
"No I'm tipsy. Reeeeeeeallyyyy tipsy." I said lazily. I stared at his lips they looked so pink and soft and kissable. I wanted to kiss him. So that's what I did. I leaned forward and captured his lips in a passionate lust induced kiss. The sweet taste of my margaritas and the sour and salty tast of his martinis was a good combination. Maybe I am drunk. I thought to myself just before he pulled away from me abruptly.
"Bella we can't." He said.
"Yes we can." I argued. "I have a boyfriend and I want to you are single and you want to so let's do it." He grabbed my hand and lead me outside. He held my face in his hands and looked over my head. He looked as if he was having an internal argument with himself.
"Fuck it." He mumbled before kissing me. When we pulled away I rested my head against his. I closed my eyes as I lost contact of the heat from his body.
"Shit." He muttered. I opened my eyes to see him looking down at me. His eyes dark and filled with lust. "You look like you just finished fucking screwing me. It's fucking sexy." He said.
"Damn it I love it when you curse. You sound so hot."I said.
