All things twilight belong to Stephanie Meyer and not me I'm just borrowing her characters for our entertainment.
The new girl
I had never thought things would turn out this way, but now that they did I wouldn't change it for the world. I am happy for the first time in my life I have a loving husband that means the world to me, we have two beautiful girls Alexis and Jordon and soon to be Haden. Five years ago when I moved to New Orleans I was a train wreck my life was falling apart.
5 years earlier
"and next up we have the beautiful Bella" I heard as I was putting on my 6 inch clear plastic platform heels, I was not happy with what I do for a living but it keeps me from living on the streets, I had been stripping for the past 6 months ever since I moved to New Orleans, I hated the people who I worked with James my boss was a total creeper he would always make passes at me telling me if I slept with him he would give me better hours so I could make more money, but I would never sleep with him there is something about him that has always repulsed me but he was the only person that would give me a job. There are not many strip clubs that are looking for girls who had have never worked the pole before, who had issues with their self-esteem, and who where just your girl next door.
Every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I did 2 dances a night, and Tuesday and Wednesday I would work as a shot girl at another club in town. Living in New Orleans is a drastic change from what I'm used to, I had lived in phoenix with my mother and stepfather up until a few yrs ago when I moved in with my father in the little town on forks Washington population next to nothing. After graduation I decided I wanted to do my own thing so I packed all my things in my car and drove until I found a city that I thought I could make a name for myself in. I spent a little time in places like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dallas, and Houston before I finally found the beautiful city of New Orleans.
As I finished my dance and gathered all the tips that drunken men and a few woman had thrown out on the stage, I felt someone's hand grab my leg and pull me down, and before I knew it I was being pulled off the stage and into the audience by a group of drunken sailors. Before I could yell for help I heard it the voice of an angel.
"Get your god damn hands off of her now before I beat the shit out of your drunken asses."
"Who the fuck are you dude" one of the sailors said "she wants to be with us"
"I said get your damn hands off of her." And next thing I knew punches were being thrown people started screaming, and yelling, the music stopped and even more punches were thrown and during all the craziness I got punched in the face, after that I remember nothing. The next morning I was awakened by the smell of egg cooking, oh god where am I. I sat up and looked around where ever it was I had never been here before, I was in someone's bed, oh god what had I done what had happened. And then I saw it the most beautiful face in the world it was the man who had defended me in the club last night.
"Your awake good I made you breakfast. I hope you like ham and cheese omelets and fresh orange juice, if you don't like it I can make something else."
"No that's great and very kind of you, but there are something's I need to know first like where am I and what happened last night?"
"Well those drunk guys were trying to take you god knows where, and do god knows what. During all the commotion you got hit in the face which knocked you out, I saw what happened and I quickly picked you up and took you out of the club, and brought you here."
"Where is my car and my things?"
"Your car is where ever you parked it and your things are where you left them. I'm sorry I was just worried about getting you out of there before something else happened."
"Thank you so much for all that you have done for me, I will never be able to make it up to you."
"Well you can start by eating breakfast, after you can take a shower."
"I don't have any clothes here."
"I had my sister go pick something up for you first thing this morning, I hope you like it"
"That was very kind of you how much do I owe you for the outfit?"
"Absolutely nothing, now enough chitchat let's eat."
We talked some more over breakfast we shared things about each other, I found out that he was a brilliant man, moved here from Chicago after Hurricane Katrina, to volunteer his services as a doctor, and when things started getting better in the city he opened his own practice, which now took up most of his time. All of his family except his sister and her husband live elsewhere. After breakfast he showed me the outfit that he bought for me, cute jeans which were just my size and a cute one shoulder thing with ruffles around the top with a pair of black pumps. I had to admit his sister had taste very good taste.
I went searching for him throughout this huge house of his. I finally found him in his office. "Well don't you just look fabulous!"
"Thank you, it's actually all your sisters doing these clothes are fantastic, she has great taste, where ever did she get them?"
"Well actually they are her own design, she's a fashion designer, and she will be so excited to hear that you like them."
"Well I guess I should be getting home if you would drive me to my car that would be great."
"Ok let's go"
He grabbed a set of keys off his desk and started walking to the garage, and I followed, when we reached the garage I noticed 2 beautiful cars, he held the door for me as I sat in the front seat of a brand new beautiful black Mercedes. We continued to talk as he drove me to my car and all of a sudden he grabbed my hand and held it the entire way to my car. My heart was racing he was moving so fast I mean I know there had been some chemistry between us all day but to just grab my hand, but there was a part of me that truly enjoyed it I hadn't been with someone that truly cared for me in a long time. I hadn't truly felt loved in a really long time and with Edward everything just seemed normal.
