The incessant ringing from my nightstand jolted me upright from my sleeping state. The blinding light through the open window shades had me squinting as I reached my nightstand for my phone. Once the alarm had been silenced my relief was short lived when I continued to feel a pounding in my temple.
I flopped down onto the bed and groaned when I couldn't remember the previous night. As I snuggled into the warm of my comforter, the memories slowly started to return.
Alice.
A bar.
Drinks.
Lots of drinks.
Alice had left me a message Friday while I was at work to tell me that I was expected to attend a girl's night out at her favorite dive bar in Belltown, no excuses accepted. Given she had spent the previous two weeks moping at home, mending her broken heart over her cheating ex-boyfriend, I had little room to argue when she finally decided to become social again.
The evening had started out well enough. Alice had been preoccupied with something, which meant I was barely pestered over my choice of clothing for the night. I should have realized that was bad news for me.
After we'd had a few drinks at the bar, solemn Alice suddenly perked up in her chair and waved her hand in the air. I turned in the direction of her attention and had to groan in frustration.
Walking our way was Alice's "one that got away" high school crush, Jasper. We had all been friends in high school, the three of us the only ones from our class to attend UW, until Jasper had decided to join a fraternity and befriended the one and only, douchebag extraordinaire, Edward Cullen.
Who just happened to be walking in step with Jasper, now only feet away from our table.
"You guys made it!" Alice cried in excitement as she jumped up from her stool and hugged them both.
In my attempt to ignore Edward, I had to smile at the look on Jasper's face as he took Alice into his arms. I had always thought they'd be cute together, but the timing had never been right. Maybe that was going to change tonight. I could only hope.
The sound of my bedroom door opening pulled me from my thoughts, and I propped myself up on my elbows, expecting to see Alice's exuberant face. Instead I was greeted by bright verdant eyes, and a lazy smirk.
"You're up, finally."
"What the fuck are you doing here?"
Edward rolled his eyes before turning to shut the door behind him.
"Your cat is loud in the morning, you know that?"
"Don't deflect... did we, um, we didn't...sleep together, did we?" I managed to stutter out between glancing down to make sure all my body parts were clothed.
Edward smirk turned into a full blown grin as he sauntered into the room and sat on the edge of the bed. "Of course we did."
My mouth gaped open as he continued to smile at me.
I wracked my brain for the memories as Edward leaned in close.
"We slept together Bella..." His hand brushed a lock of hair behind my ear and then he tapped my nose. "Just sleep...no fucking. That's something you'd definitely remember."
