A/N: I'm writing every chapter to a song so ill put a few lyrics at the start of each chapter.
Guilty pleasure cobra starship
And I came here to make you dance tonight
I don't care about my guilty pleasure for you
And I don't even know
What kinda fool you're taking me for
So you've got some brand new clothes
You never could afford before
Oh brother spare us all
we don't care anymore
we just wanna get down on the floor
you sell yourself to make it
you can dish it but can you really take it
You're never gunna get it with nothing
Cause nothing's what you got in your head
so stop pretending
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don't care about my guilty pleasure for you
Shut up cause we won't stop
And we're getting down till the sun's coming up
Bella POV:
"But Bella you have to come, it'll be fun" Alice whined from across the room. I saw her eyes flicker to the mirror and then she straightened up and sighed coming to sit next to me. "Please" she whispered putting on her adorable Puppy dog eyes and putting her hands on my lap nest to my hands. "Fine" I gave in standing up with her hands in mine to let her drag me over to her make-up chair where I knew I'd sit for the next hour. "Don't act so glum, like I said it'll be fun" she said excitement already creeping into her voice. I sighed and closed my eyes. "Why are we even going" I mumbled as she pulled out clothes and threw them on her bed. With Alice no clothes should be worn more than once. "Because you've been miserable ever since Jacob dumped you for Leah and you've done nothing but mope around the house" Alice said finally deciding on an outfit.
"Have not" I said but it sounded false even to me and I knew Alice saw through my weak pretence. Before she could reply I pointed at the dress she was holding out for me. "I'm not wearing that" I said it with disgust heavy in my voice as Alice shoved the dress towards me. "Oh but you are Bella" she said sweetly and then turned around so I could change. I mumbled under my breath but obediently pulled the dress on, there was no point arguing with Alice, she always got her way and I mean always. I sat back down not even looking at the dress I'd look properly when I was done but it felt to short and I could feel the wood from the chair pressing into my back. I drifted off into my world where I didn't have to go to fancy masked balls and parties and clubs and I could just be myself and mope and eat comfort foods after being dumped by someone you really loved.
"Done" Alice said admiring her work. "I think that's a record it only took you 40 minutes" I muttered. "Cheer up" Alice said and skipped over to her full length mirror where she pointedly glared at me until I walked over to see if I'd die at this masked ball. "Fabulous as always" I said not bothering to look knowing I'd look fabulous. "You didn't even look" Alice said frowning at me. I sighed and looked in the mirror, she never saw through me and always knew when I wasn't in a good mood and today was no exception.
My bags from not sleeping had vanished and my eyes had been polished in pale blue mascara. My lips were glossy and I had mascara and eye liner on making my eyes look twenty times bigger than they actually were. I looked disdainfully at the dress but it wasn't that bad surprisingly. It was just above my knees and tight around the area just below my chest and the bottom fanned out. It was pale blue with a little Sapphire strap tied into a bow around the tight section the ended at the back. I had a mask that covered the top section of my face and it had swirly designs on one side that went up to frame my face. The mask matched my dress but not too much so I looked funny. It was Sapphire and the swirls were gold. My hair was in a loose bun that was pinned so a few strands hung around my face and it kind of twisted into a loose knot. I had White flats and silver hoops and then on the side of my hair was a comb clip with sapphires studded into the hilt. I also had a necklace that ended just above my chest and it was a little silver heart pendent. "Wow" I breathed. "See it wasn't so bad" Alice said grinning at me.
I looked at her, she looked great as usual. Her spiky black hair was left as it always was and she had a dark green dress on the clung to her body tightly then ended in a bounce around her thighs. She was wearing Emerald heels and a mask that was studded with glittery silver and emerald gems. It framed her face perfectly and the green make-up around her eyes made them stand out.
"You look great" I told her smiling. "As usual" Alice said teasingly but she looked at the clock and began freaking out which kind of ruined my semi-happy mood. "We have to go" She yelled grabbing my arm and dragging my down the stairs. "Bye Esme" I called over my shoulder as Alice dragged me out of the door and down the hall. "Have fun" she called and I barely heard the echo as Alice pulled me into the street and slammed the door behind her. "What's the rush" I muttered and shook her off my arm. Emmett and Rose were going to pick us up. "Emmett's always late" I pointed out. "Rose isn't" Alice insisted and fair enough Emmett's jeep pulled around the corner.
I climbed into the car and buckled myself in. "are you ill Cuz your never on time" I joked. "Believe me it took all my efforts to get him out the door" Rosalie said leaning around her seat to smile at me. I laughed. Emmett was my cousin and Rose his wife. "Come on" Alice urged. "Someone's impatient" Emmett said grinning, but I could hear the overwhelmed undertone in his voice. We all laughed, Emmett was the most impatient guy id ever met.
When we pulled up I stared out the window glaring at all the fancy signs that announced the ball, I mean it was like 2010 so why bother holding a masked ball weren't they like 1700s. "Live a little would ya" I heard Alice say and then I was being hauled from the car and shoved towards the door. I felt really strange with the mask strapped under my hair. I heard Rose and Emmett behind me laughing and Alice was skipping ahead and already waiting at the doors it seemed. I saw a bouncer there and smiled, the 1700s were improving. I reached Alice and she handed over our tickets and pointed at Emmett and Rose when the guy raised his eyebrows obviously confused with the four tickets and two people. Then we entered the past.
The area had been made to look ancient and as I looked around I saw swirling dresses and masks. I looked up feeling dizzy-ish as I took in all the beautiful surroundings. "Whoa" I said to myself. I turned to my left where Alice had been standing to find she had gone and when I looked up she was being twirled around me a blonde guy. "Go dance" Rose said coming up behind me with Emmett. I watched as she took Emmett's hand and join the crowd.
A classical piano was playing and I decided I'd just go sit on one of the balconies. I had nothing wrong with pianos but I just didn't want to be here it made me think of Jake and the first dance we went to together.
I turned towards the stairs and met a pair of Dazzling emerald green eyes. I looked at what the guy was wearing taking in the black tux and white button-up shirt. I looked down feeling a blush spread across my face as I made my way to the stairs. I quickly walked up them and it seemed a-while before I reached the top.
The stairs ended at two balconies one with a couple making out looking over the garden and another empty one overlooking the hall and as I walked over to it I found I could see everything even Alice and the blonde guy dancing in the middle of the crowd and Emmett and Rose in the corner making out. I laughed, it was so like them. I leaned over resting my hands on the railing and sighed. Why had I agreed to come when it was clear I was going to have no fun? "Mind if I join you" I heard a velvet voice ask. "No its fine" I said not turning around.
I sensed movement and then felt someone lean over the bars next to me. I looked to my left and saw a guy around my age smiling at me. He was the same guy with the emerald eyes and looking closely I could see he had bronze hair that seemed to go in every direction but the right one and still look completely sexy. I had the odd urge to take off his mask but I knew that would be rude so I smiled back and decided to make conversation instead so we wouldn't end up in an awkward silence. "Enjoying the ball" I asked him. "Not really" he admitted sheepishly running a hand through his golden bronze hair. I laughed smiling, "me neither I was forced to come I didn't even get to choose what I was wearing" I said motioning to my dress. It was his turn to laugh and I wished he wouldn't stop it was like a harmony in itself. "Crazy friends who dragged you out to supposedly to have fun even though they know there's no point" he asked quoting the last part. "Yep" I muttered. "Who are you with then" he asked looking down over the crowd.
"See the couple in the corner, that's my cousin Emmett and his wife and see the little black haired one in the dark green dress" I paused "that's Alice and she's the genius that brought me here" I said looking back to his gorgeous eyes. He smiled studding her, "she does look rather mischievous" he said with a wink. "Is she the one that chose your dress" he asked. "Yeah" I mumbled embarrassed. "I'll have to complement her on her style you look great" he said smiling and looking into my eyes. I smiled at him and then looked over the crowd. "What about you who are your tortures. "The one dancing with Alice, that's Jasper" he said smiling "and I think your cousin goes to our school" he added as an afterthought. "You go to Stanford" I asked in disbelief. "That's the hell whole, we all call it stanies though" he said turning to look at me. A lady dressed in black and white came up behind us and offered us both a drink and without hesitation I took a Champaign.
Edward took a bear and raised his eyebrow at me. I wished I could do that but some things just don't happen. "I don't want to remember this night" I said and tipped the glass back letting the burning alcohol run down my throat. I didn't usually drink in fact I think I'd only been drunk twice in my life but tonight seemed different and I was sick of being sad when he had cheated on me.
"Want to dance" Edward asked finishing his own drink. He held out his arm and I took it, we descended the stairs and joined the crowd. I caught Alice's eye and she winked at me in approval before spinning off with Jasper. I let Edward wrap his hand around my waist and in turn I held his shoulder and took his hand and then we were spinning. "You should know I'm clumsy as and I cannot dance" I whispered a little shocked by how fast we were moving. "I won't let you fall" he whispered back and we continued spinning me smiling like an idiot and him grinning cheekily at me.
The wind blew the stray strands of hair that had escaped their bun as Edward led me though the streets. I think I had had about four more champagnes and him a few more beers. I saw a looming building and Edward started steering me towards it. "I live in the top flat" he muttered. His hand was firmly around my waist so I wouldn't fall and I didn't feel woozy or tipsy but I didn't trust my clumsy reputation and Edward was extremely warm against the winter chilled wind. The building was massive and as I looked up at it Edward led me through the grand doors. "Hey Edward, have fun?" I heard someone ask. I turned in the voices direction to see a bouncer man standing next to the door smiling. "Yes I had great fun surprisingly" he said and then he stepped into the elevator and the doors closed around us. "You have a bouncer to guard your house" I asked in a surprised tone. "That's Kylar, he's just there to scare of people" Edward said chuckling to himself. "What's so funny about that" I asked him. "Don't worry" he told me smiling. The elevator stopped on the 7th floor and Edward led me to apartment 3. He stepped inside and walked over to the kitchen switching on lights as he went. "Wow your apartments beautiful" I said looking around. "My mother Esme is in designing and she decorated it for me and Jasper" Edward said off handedly. "Jaspers your Brother" I asked a little shocked. "yeah" he said, "guess I forgot to mention that" I laughed you must have been sidetracked to forget your brother when we were talking about him" I said laughing a little nervously. He smiled "yep I was checking out the hottest girl at the ball and I managed to convince her to come home with me" he said grinning. I rolled my eyes at him and sat down in one of the many chairs.
He offered me another drink and I drank it and I guess it sent me over the edge because I didn't object when Edward kissed me. He picked me up the drinks forgotten and carried me to his room and then I made the biggest mistake of my life and I didn't realize because I was too drunk and I was completely lost in the feel of his body pressing against mine. I lost sense of time, myself and I completely forgot that a gorgeous guy that didn't know my name was probably only looking for a one night stand, so at that moment I let him take me and went along for the ride that was about to get very complicated very quickly.
I hope you enjoyed it; Bella's going to have a lot of explaining to do when she finds Rose and Alice; P
Please review and tell me what you think and I already have the next chapter written so ill try to update as soon as I can XD
Sneak preview of next chapter:
I woke up next to an Angel and looking at her pale face and brown hair, it made me feel terrible. How had she ended up in my apartment? Last night's events were a blur; I remember dancing, laughing kissing by the Warf or was that all a dream.
"You have a lot of explaining to do" Alice said grabbing my arm trying to drag me to her room but my arm dropped to my side before she moved. She raised an eyebrow at me and Esme gave me a sympathetic look before walking into the kitchen. "Cullen's girl aye" I heard Alice mutter and I knew I was in a lot of trouble as I followed her wordlessly up the stairs
Tegan :)
