Jail Bait:
It was the first semester of my junior year in high school. I spent the last few years of my life living in sunny Phoenix, Arizona with my mom Renee. However, she met and fell in love with this minor league baseball player named Phil and they married shortly after. I loved my mom and Phil was great, but their honeymoon phase was a bit much to handle. So, I decided to move back to Forks, Washington to live with my dad Charlie. Mom and dad divorced shortly after I was born, so I didn't spend much time with Charlie. I remember visiting him in the summers as a child, but as a I grew older, summers in Forks paled in comparison to summers in Phoenix, so I stopped coming around. Not surprisingly, Charlie was happy to have me back and even purchased me a used truck to drive back and forth to school.
Classes had been in session for a few weeks and life in Forks was becoming routine. I made a few friends at school, but most of them seemed catty and fake. The only genuinely sweet girl was Angela Weber. I liked hanging out with her, but I felt like the third wheel hanging with her and her boyfriend Ben. Other girls at school, mainly Lauren and Jessica, spent time smiling in my face, but I could not shake the feeling that they were manipulative and not to be trusted. So, I spent my time after school tidying up the house, cooking dinner, doing homework, and reading my favorite romance novels. Wuthering Heights was my favorite and I re-read it at least once a week.
I had never been in love. In Phoenix, I didn't date. I haven't even had my first kiss yet. Guys in Forks have asked me out, but I just didn't feel the urge to date any of them. Little did I know, that my boring life was about to change…..
When I got to school the next day, there was this group of college girls on campus. Apparently, there was this new Big Sister program and girls from University of Washington-Seattle campus wanted to reach out to a few high school girls. Two of these college girls stood out immediately. All of them were gorgeous, but these two were exceptionally beautiful. The dark haired, shorter girl introduced herself as Alice and the tall, leggy, curvy blond introduced herself as Rosalie. All the high school girls were chatting up a storm trying to impress these college girls. And of course, all the boys were drooling and making fools of themselves. After listening to them talk about the Big Sister program, I started to walk away. Then, Alice came after me and we began to chat…..
"Wait" she said, "are you not interested in getting involved in our program".
"Don't you think high school girls are a little old for Big sisters. I thought that was something for younger girls" I responded.
She laughed, "you're right, but we are really trying to reach out to high school girls such as yourself in rural communities to encourage you all to enroll in college and make something of yourselves blah blah blah…"
I smiled at her explanation. "So what do you say? Be my little sister, please!" she continued with a pout that would make anyone melt.
"Fine, what do I have to do?" I replied, giving into the power of the pout.
"Well, you fill out this form and get permission from your parents to spend 2 weekends per month at the U-Dub campus" she responded.
"Wow, where would I be staying?" I asked.
"With me, of course you silly girl" she stated with a smile.
"I'll have to talk to my dad" I stated, a little hesitantly…..
"Oh, I'll talk to him, you get to class, just tell me where he works and I'll stop by on our way out of town. So give me your cell number and be prepared because I'll be here to pick you up on Friday as soon as school is out" she stated in a rush.
"But what if my dad says no" I questioned.
"No one says no to Alice" she responded and pushed me in the direction of the classrooms.
For some reason, I was really looking forward to doing something different. Alice was right, my dad thought it was a great idea. He worked a lot, as the chief of police, and hated leaving me alone so much. He adored Alice right away. So the week passed slowly, and before I knew it, Friday afternoon was here. As I stepped out of school, I saw Alice and Rosalie sitting inside a yellow Porshe.
"Bella" she yelled "hurry up, we have a drive ahead of us and we need to get ready for the party tonight". Knowing Alice was picking me up, my dad dropped me off at school that morning. I had packed a few days worth of clothes in a small rolling suitcase that I hated rolling around with me all day.
The drive to Seattle took about 3 hours. During which, I got to know a lot about Alice. She talked a mile a minute, but I didn't find it annoying it was endearing. She was a junior fashion major. She lived in an off-campus apartment with her boyfriend Jasper, Rosalie and her boyfriend Emmett, and her best friend Edward, who was single. The apartment had 4 bedrooms, so I would be staying in the guest room. Alice loved shopping and alternative rock music. At first, Rosalie didn't say much, but eventually she began to reveal a bit about herself. She was a junior mechanical engineering major who loved working on cars, in her spare time. Of course, this was shocking to me, because she was such a drop-dead gorgeous girl, no one would have expected her to work on cars as a hobby. When I mentioned that she responded….
"I like it when people, especially men, underestimate me" before winking at me.
Before I knew it, we pulled up to the apartment. She stated that the guys wouldn't be home until closer to the party, so we had girl time. I had no idea what to wear to a college party, so I laid out a pair of jeans and graphic t-shirt on the bed in the guest room. Soon after, Alice came rushing in the door…..
"Bella" she screamed, "what is that on the bed"?
"My outfit for the party" I replied.
"No way are you wearing that. I'll pick you out something of mine. It may be shorter on you because of your height, but we'll have to manage, now go shower so Rose and I can do your hair and make-up" she ordered.
I did just that. After showering, Rosalie and Alice came in and helped me with hair and make-up. Once done, I slipped on the dress that Alice let me borrow. It was super short on me, but made my legs looks amazing. She insisted I where a pair of Rosalie's stilettos, even after I explained my clumsiness. What I learned quickly, is that Alice doesn't accept no for an answer. Once I looked at myself in the mirror, I was pleasantly surprised. I knew I was a pretty girl, but they made me look like a gorgeous woman. Rosalie and Alice left me in the guest room to continue getting ready as I stared at my reflection. I begin to hear a commotion and figured that their boyfriends were home and getting ready as well. I sat quietly for the next 45 minutes wondering what my first college would be like.
"Where's the jail bat?" I heard a loud, boisterous male voice ask. I heard laughter before Alice came to get me. She said that everyone was ready and the boys wanted to meet me.
I stepped out of the room and heard…. "hey jail bait, you're hot" from the same boisterous voice. Before I could respond, Rosalie smacked him across the head.
She stated "don't mind him, Bell this moron is my boyfriend Emmett".
"Nice to meet you Emmett" I stated while putting out my hand for him to shake. He disregarded my hand and pulled me into this huge bear hug. Normally, I would have been freaked out, but the hug was nice. He reminded me of an older brother.
"Bella, this is my Jasper" Alice said.
"Nice to meet you too Jasper" I replied and he grabbed my left hand and placed a light kiss on it, which caused me to blush.
Before I could further embarrass myself by blushing, the most handsome man I've ever seen walked into the living room area. He was tall and had copper hair that was flew in every direction. His piercing green eyes looked like emeralds.
"Bella, this is Edward, Edward, this is Bella" Alice introduced us.
He didn't say anything just nodded his head while looking intensely at me with those sparkling green eyes. I instantly felt my panties grow damp at the sight of him. I had never had this reaction to a man before. Immediately, I wanted him to lift up this ridiculously short dress and do very naughty things to my girly parts. In the midst of my fantasy, I heard Alice state…."come on, let's party".
We all rode in Emmett's jeep to the party at a club in downtown Seattle. During the ride, I sat next to Edward and had a hard time focusing my attention. When we arrived at the club, we all breezed passed the bouncer without paying and without anyone asking for I.D., which I was grateful for. I was so nervous in the club. Girls were grinding against one another. Alice must have sensed my nervousness and ushered me towards the bar for a drink. She ordered me 2 shots of tequila and the liquid warmed me from the inside out. I immediately felt relaxed. Rosalie and Alice sandwiched me in the middle of the floor and got me to dance with them for a few songs. Then, there men came to get a little one on one time. Between the heat of the club and the alcohol, I needed to step out for some fresh air.
I walked out the club and walked up a block or so, just enjoying the night breeze. Then I heard someone approach me from behind. It happened so quickly. Before I knew it, I was pulled into a side alley. Some man, who smelled awful, had me pressed against the wall. His hot breath felt as though it was penetrating my skin.
He said to me "fresh pussy" as his hand began to roughly trace my inner thigh. Tears began to fall and I closed my eyes to wish this awful man away. Then, I felt nothing. When I opened my eyes, the man was knocked out on the floor and Edward was staring at me with a murderous look in his eyes.
"Are you o.k.?" he asked and I nodded as a sob ripped through my chest. Edward's eyes softened and he pulled me towards him in a hug.
"Let's get you home " he stated.
We walked and grabbed a cab.
"What about the gang?" I asked.
"I texted Alice to let her know that we were going home" he replied.
"O.k." was my response.
We made it back to the apartment and Edward walked me toward the guestroom door. "Thank you for saving me" I whispered.
"Don't thank me Bella, I'm just glad I got there in time" he whispered back while tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.
He turned to walk away and I begged "please don't leave me"
He turned around and stared at me for what seemed like forever. Then, he slowly walked in the bedroom. He walked in the bathroom, within the room, and I could hear water running. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into the bathroom. He stared into my eyes as he stated
"A hot soak will relax you"
I took his advice and soaked in the tub for about an hour willing the events of the night to disappear from my head.
