"Deal"
What the fuck have I just agreed to? Why? Why? Ok I know why…because of Edward fucking Cullen! God I can't stand how fucking arrogant he is and how he thinks he can get any women he wants…well accept for me! But that's only because I'm hopelessly in love the guy and he only wants to fuck me not love me, and Bella swan will not have her heart broken by the man she has loved for 9 years! No! I accepted a long time ago he doesn't want me and only sees me as his little sister's friend who hates him and won't have sex with him. So if I accepted that fact why the hell did I just agree to the most stupid bet I've ever had with him?
Alice, that's where, is all started. Her and her need for me to 'go out have fun'. So I agreed, because hey its not like I have anything better to do and you literally can't say no to Alice, its impossible.
So as soon Alice warned me Edward would be there, because everyone thinks I hate him, which I do, just not for the reasons everyone thinks. I made a bit of an effort with my sexy little black dress that hugged my figure in just the right way and my fuck me heals. Ok so I made more then a "bit of an effort". But come on if Edward was there I had to show him what he was missing, and I knew he would notice. That's one of the things that fucking piss' me off! He would always notice little changes in me, in what I was wearing or what I said, and just when I thought he was really looking at me, he would say something along the lines of "come on Bella when you gona fuck me", and would ruin it all.
Edward would always do that! Ruin any kind of conversation we would have because he couldn't get passed that I was the only girl who hadn't give in to his advances, and he hated me for it.
So when I arrived at the club, everyone was already there, Alice, her husband jasper, his sister Rosalie with her husband Emmett and Edward, of course. They all greeted me with hello's and kisses and moved along so I could sit, apart from Edward who gave me a nod and look up and down. Typical!
The night was progressing like any other, drinks, conversation and me and Edward avoiding each other at all cost. So when both couples went to dance, leaving Edward and me alone, I knew nothing good could come of it.
"Hey Isabella how have you been lately" Edward called from across the table, bringing me out of my constant state of trying to look anywhere but him. God he knows just how to piss me off by using my full name.
"Fine you?" I said knowing he didn't really care how I'd been.
"Good. What's with you Isabella, not happy tonight?"
"I'm fine Edward." Now I was annoyed.
"Come on Isabella I know you. I know you're not fine"
"you know nothing about me Edward" because if you did you would probably laugh about how much I love you and if you were just nice to me you could do whatever you want to me, because god, even though it pains me to say I really want to fuck Edward Cullen, so much! I just want him to love me as well.
"Oh really name one thing I don't know about you Isabella" he said with his signature smug smile. Oh I hate that…and love it! Get a grip Bella
Ok think Bella he's laying out the challenge what can I say without him making fun of me for it, but also proving he doesn't know me. "Well…for one thing I hate being called Isabella"
"But Isabella I know that" raising his eyebrows as if proving he was right.
"I hate you Edward, can't you just be nice for once"
"Isabella can't you just put out for once" he said quickly returning the conversation onto the same subject we discuss every time we are alone together. "Come on Bella I know you want to"
"You wish!"
"Yeh of course I do, that's kind of the issue here Bella, I want to and I know you do to, your just to stuck up to admit it"
Oh I really do Edward.
Get a hold of yourself Bella you don't wanna fuck him, well you do but you don't just want sex. Keep it together!
Arrrrhhhhh I hate that he brings out that kind of reaction in me. With all the things he says to me I should hate him!
"What is it Bella? Don't you find me attractive enough to sleep with me, or is it that I'm not rich enough for you?" He said sarcastically "because we both know they aren't an issue I make more in a week then you do in a year and I'm gorgeous!"
God both true but how arrogant can one man be?
"That there is exactly your problem Edward. You are so full of yourself that the only way you can get women is by flaunting your money and your good looks. Has it ever occurred to you, that I'm the only women who actual knows you, and that's why I won't sleep with you, because your horrible personality overshadows both those things?"
Ok so that's a total lie, but he could do with being taken down a peg or two. The real Edward I know is kind and generous. He isn't really like the arrogant person he likes to play. That Edward I hate, the real Edward I meet 9 years ago and have known ever since is the one I love. I just wish he could see that.
"You don't know me Bella" he said in a high enough voice so I could hear him but with no conviction that he had earlier on. Maybe I actually said something that resonated with him. Then I saw that signature smirk and I knew I was wrong.
"So you're saying that without my money and good looks I couldn't get a woman to go home with me tonight?"
Where is he going with this…? "No" not really sure what he was talking about but I was way too stubborn to let him think that.
"Ok fancy making a bet Isabella?"
If he calls me Isabella one more time…
"Oh so we are back to the Bella and Edward that we all know and love…making yet another bet. Fine I'm in" there is no way without his good looks and money that he could get any woman in here to go back with him. Not with the way he talks to them. I can imagine him now "come on baby I'll fuck you good and hard and you'll like every minute of it" Yeh right no way any women who doesn't know he's Edward Cullen will fall for that.
"Great! Stay I'll be back"
"Okayyyyy… whatever you want Edward" I said sarcastically
"That's a good girl, obeying my command, good practice for the future" he said and then disappeared out the bar.
Arrrrhhhhh I so walked into that one.
A few minutes later I had completely forgotten about Edward and whatever the hell he was doing. I had plenty of practice over the years of repressing my feelings for him, and to just concentrate on the hate I felt for him over him not wanting me. I used to get really depressed over it but now I just turn those feelings into the anger towards him. I found I could concentrate a hell of a lot better when I wasn't feeling sorry for myself or thinking about how he looks naked. Hey it was his loss…well sort of. That's how I tired to think of it anyway. If he didn't want me there was nothing I could do about it and I was certainly not just going to let him fuck me not matter how much I wanted him.
Everyone arrived back at the table a few minutes later, deliberately avoiding the subject of what me and Edward talked about and where he was, however I knew them all too well to know they were extremely interested in what we discussed. So instead of waiting for Alice to pounce on me I decided it was a good time for a drink.
I got up and just as I was heading in the direction of the bar I felt my wrist being dragged back. I automatically stopped and turned to see who the hell was going to get the shit beaten out of them for hurting me.
"What the fuck?" I asked as I turned to then fix my eyes on a man with glasses and an odd looking hat on. He was had a white shirt on which drink had obviously been spilt on and black pants. Although what he was wearing was extremely weird and unkempt, I could tell he was okay looking just needed cleaning up.
"Isabella!" with the sudden realisation who this was I rolled my eyes and walked back toward our table.
As I walked back I noticed Emmett, who was an enormous guy and kind of protective over me look to see that this man was following, as I knew he would.
"Bella who's this?" Emmett stood up carefully showing the man that he could easily take him, if there was trouble.
"This man…he's a prick but harmless you know him pretty well"
I could see the confusion on everyone's face and the Alice's sudden recognition of her brother.
"Oh my God Edward why are you dressed like that? Are you hiding or something?" Alice addressed Edward as we both sat down.
"Oh this?" waving his arms over himself "this is for my bet with Bella. It's to disguise my handsome face and the fact I have money" he said as if that explained everything.
"What you guys have another bet going. What are we still ten years old? Do you have to constantly compete against each other every time you are in the same room?" Alice complained.
"Yes" we said in unison. Wow first thing we agreed on in years.
Edward then went on to explain the bet in full detail making sure the whole table understood fully that I was clearly wrong in my assessment.
"You're so going down Edward. Bella's right you talk to women like shit" Emmett was laughing hysterically as he called Edward out. "So what's the bet for? Money?"
Yeh what was the bet for? Both me and Edward looked at each briefly both mirroring the expression of 'what is the bet for?'
Alice then chimed in with "well since your acting like ten year olds, you might as well bet for what you used to when you were that age" all of us then looking at Alice for some help remembering "each others personal slave"
Oh no! No good could possibly come out of this situation.
"No way! Let just bet for money or just for the sake of being right" I looked at Edward who had that smirk on his face. Yeh definitely no good could come of this.
"Scared you will lose Isabella?"
Oh my God I hate him. He knows just how to get me "fine! Since I'm going to win anyway, hope you like being my slave for the week"
Knowing I had reacted just had he had expected, he gave me the biggest smile he could "Great! Deal"
"Deal"
