I know I have been so shitty with Jersey but you know what they say: You gotta roll with an idea! I hope you like this! Possible lemons in later chapters, but don't hold me to it! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Characters belong to Steph Meyer, but if it was up to me, Bella and Edward (and Riley and Jane and Jasper and Jessica and Charlie) would be all mine *sigh*.

Enjoy!

I love Roisin for being an amazing friend and approving my ideas. You fucking rock. (L)


"Shit," I breathed. "How did they find us?" I laughed. The paps knew their way around NYC, LA and London, which is understandable, but how they spotted me and my best friend Alice Brandon on a dirt road in Nevada was foreign to me. Alice had just finished up the promotion for her new album 'Branded' and I was taking a break from promoting 'Alicia Greene and the Witch Hunters'. On the spur of the moment, alongside my publicist/life-long friend Rosalie Bower and Alice's agent Angela Weber, decided to road trip from California to Las Vegas and back, while we had nothing to do. We were nearly there, when a swarm of paparatzi drove past. I slammed the pedal and we sped off, away from the prying eyes of the media.

'I hope you didn't tweet anything Alice' teased Angela, knowing her obsession with Twitter. Alice turned around in her seat and playfully hit her hand.

'Shush you, it's not my problem that I enjoy reading what Justin Bieber and Lindsay Lohan have to say! And for the record, I said absolutely nothing!' she replied, matter-of-factly. I turned up the CD that our friend Lauren had made for us, she knew my music tastes better than anyone else. She lived in Vegas and convinced us to make the trip. As we made our way towards our hotel, we sang along to Suzi Quatro and politely waved at anyone who shouted 'Oh my God it's Bella Swan and Alice Brandon' when we drove past. We got to the hotel and Lauren was there waiting for us. She showed us to our hotel rooms, which were the lap of luxury. As we got in, I received a text. I flipped open the leather case that held my iPhone and opened it. It was from my boyfriend, Jacob, who was in the UK visiting his sisters. 'You do realise you're on SugarScene already? J xx' it read. I rolled my eyes and flipped down the case, I would reply later. I loved him, don't get me wrong, but the point of this trip was to get away.

'What have you got planned for us tonight then Laui?' asked Rose.

'There's a premiere of a movie just five minutes away, we're all walking the red carpet!' she smiled, clapping her hands. My mouth dropped. As much as I adored being an actress, red carpets were not fun for me.

'Fuck, really? But – '

'Bella Bella Bella shhhhh! I've got you 5 dresses to pick from, we're going late so we can escape the paps and there's an amazing afterparty afterwards, where there's a free bar and a back door!' laughed Lauren.

'Ughhh fine then!' I sighed. I picked out a beautiful Roland Mouret dress, which had long sleeves and purple flower details. The girls had their dresses as well, Lauren in Ellie Saab, Rose in Oscar de la Renta and both Alice and Angela in Marchaesa. I don't know how Lauren got us all dresses but she did. After a few hours of getting ready, we quickly graced the red carpet, the five of us stopping for pictures. Then we made our way into the movie screen. The movie was called 'Stop and Stare' and was about a guy who threw his life away, but meets this girl and she helps put the pieces back together again. I really enjoyed the movie, it was gut-wrenchingly sad at the end but had an epic storyline. The part I was looking forward to the most had arrived: the afterparty. It took place in the club beside the theatre. Thankfully I had turned 21 a month before so we had no problems getting in. Rose had booked us a private table in the club, and we sat down. A little over five minutes later Angela returned from the bar with four martinis and a rum and orange juice for myself. Martinis and I do not mix, unless you want me crashed out on the club floor.

The night was going exceptionally well, the music was great and nobody had gotten too drunk so far. It was almost time for us to leave, when a slightly tipsy Lauren and a really tipsy Angela decided to introduce us to the cast. Rose, Alice and I were fairly sober, as we only had one drink each.

'Guyssssss, here's the cast of the movie, come say hellooooooo,' slurred Angela. There were the two main stars, Tanya Denali and Mikey Newton, then the supporting cast, Jessica Stanley, Jasper Hale, Eric Yorkie, Tyler Crowley and Leah Clearwater. Also there was a young man, sitting to Jasper's right, and a tall muscley guy beside Mikey who we weren't introduced to. As I congratulated the cast, I quickly whispered to Jessica 'Who's the dude in the corner?' She smiled.

'That's Jazz's cousin, Edward Cullen. Hot as the Sahara but totally unsocialable, I don't even know why he's here to be honest.' I was immediately intrigued by him, even though I couldn't see his face under a mop of what looked like copper coloured hair. At this point, Alice had joined the two of us. 'Duuuuuuuuude, look at that Jasper guy! He. Is. SMOKING HOT. I want a piece of that!' she squealed. I ushered her on to go and talk to her, when I felt someone's eyes on me. I looked up and saw the copper haired guy looking at me.

Holy shit. I found myself staring into those eyes as if I was in a trance. My forehead began to feel very warm and my heart was racing. I couldn't feel this. I had a boyfriend who I loved. I felt like I was thirteen, being in "love" with my first "boyfriend". Alice shook my arm. 'Bells? Yoo-hooo?' she yelled. I looked at her and hid the lust in my eyes as best as I could. 'Yes Alice?' I asked.

'You looked like you had just seen your first pair of Jimmy Choos. You ok?' She knew what was up.

'I'm fine sweetie, it's the rum...' I lied, trailing off, as I saw Edward smirking at me. God he was hot.

'You've only had one Bella!' I heard her say as I walked away to sit beside him.

'Hi' he said quietly. My heart dropped right out of my ass.


Reviews are as sexy as the copper haired guy. A smirk from him for every review. Update on Sunday, I've Eclipse to view. :DDDDD
