Chapter 1
Edward P.O.V
Edward Anthony Cullen was in love with Isabella Swan, or Bella as she preferred to be called.
Not that she knew he was in love with her.
Edward Cullen wanted Bella Swan.
Not that Bella wanted him back.
Doesn't it fucking suck that it just so happens that I am Edward Cullen? And that Isa-fucking-Bella is sitting right next to me?
Damn, I hate being me.
These are the thought's that surged through my head as I sat in the back-alley tattoo parlour which was ironically named 'Back-Alley Tattoo's'. The uncomfortable brown chair which had made me arse start to ache brought me back into reality. The tattoo parlour was located between Forks and Port Angeles and it was run by the best tattooist in the Washington area who was Jacob Black. He was about 24, 6ft 8 and he was from the local reservation called La Push so he had a natural brown glow. Glow? What the fuck? I sounded like I was in fucking love with him. But what I wouldn't give to be him right now, leaning over the smooth pale stomach that was lying beneath him.
I would give everything to be him.
Bella lift her head up, attempting to crane her neck so that she could see her new ink and the progress that it was making. Bella heaved a big sigh and flopped her head back down when she realised that Jacob's head was in the way of her view. Bella was currently laying at an angle because of where her new ink was being placed and from the seat that I was in, I was able to see straight down her tank top and could see the…I looked away out of respect. I would have much rather have kept looking but Bella would have definitely realised and then teased me about how much that I wanted her fine piece of ass.
If only Bella knew how much that I did want her fine piece of ass, being it was so so fine.
A sign escaped Bella perfect pink lips, pulling me from my thoughts that had wandered of to what I would do to Bella if I had one chance…I focused on her lips. Her bottom lip was poked out in a pout, as if she was begging me to take her luscious lips between mine and suck it relentlessly until it was red and numb from my saliva.
God, I sounded like a fucking pervert.
"Jacob" Bella whined, her voice gave me something else to pay attention to. Oh fucking god. "Jake, I can't see my latest addition to my beauty because you're fucking fat head is in the way."
Jacob stopped inking her precious body and looked shocked which oddly reminded me of something that Emmett would do, which then turned into an Emmett like laugh, causing most things around to vibrate. "And you would know so much about my 'fat fucking head' wouldn't you Darling?" Jacob said seductively.
I had to with-hold a gag and the frown that was aching to appear on my face. Jake was just friend and I was sure that Bella didn't want to make Jake one of her fuck-buddy's but I was sure of the fact that Jake wanted to maker her his fuck-buddy.
He had no chance, I wouldn't allow it.
"Haha, you wish mate and what have I told you about calling me Darling. Edward! Tell him" Bella commanded, eventually turning her attention and her amazing face towards me. I couldn't help but smirk, I had thought of a memory the other day that would come to haunt her.
"Why not?" I questioned. "Weren't you saying the other days that you were 'sweet as a fucking treat Cullen and don't you forget it." I teased. Bella stuck her tongue out at me in a child-like way and then turned her head back towards Jacob.
"I swear Black, if you don't hurry up I'll make sure you never get another woman in this town" she threatened, although not being serious because she sounded as giddy as a school-girl about to get something truly amazing. Of course, there once was a time, long ago that something that small would truly amaze Bella, and she wasn't always the hard core badass that she was now.
Bella's upbringing had been normal but then started going downhill when her parent's decided to get a divorce when she was 16. (Bella & Edward are now 21. Jacob is older is this story). Her mother gave her the choice to either stay in Forks or move to Phoenix with her. Thankfully Bella had chosen Forks and I was ecstatic. My best friend was staying in Forks, how could I not be happy about that?
It was after about two years, just after her 18th birthday that she started to act strange. She started to go out all night and partying with the two most unlikely people – Jessica & Lauren. Two people that had never been her friend before. I was starting to get worried about her but I was her best friend, I couldn't exactly deny her from having fun, could I? It was when she got her first tattoo when I knew that I needed to protect her, she was my everything and she never knew it. I needed to protect her not just from preying men so seemed to worm their way into her pants at nearly every party, after the first time I caught her, I had made sure that I got her put on the Pill and made sure that she took it everyday. I knew I needed to protect her even from herself. I started to go to parties with her, watching her destroy herself and her life. I always watched for possible dangers. When she dragged me to the tattoo parlour, I didn't object. Every tattoo that I have is for Bella, a symbol of every piece of my heart that I had given up for her.
Unlike Bella, she would design a new tattoo and then get it inked somewhere on her body.
Each tattoo that Bella had inked on her skin was a reminder of how fucked up her life had become. Before her parent's divorce, Bella would never have dreamed of doing any of the shit that she does today. I may try my best to protect her but it still doesn't stop me from thinking that both our lives would be different if Bella's parents had stayed together. Not that I didn't love Bella's body, she was an incredible artist but there was only piece of work that I truly admired and that was of two Swallows linked together by a strand of Ivy which weaved around them, after Bella had got it done, she confessed to me that it was a symbol of our friendship, and then we could survive through anything. This perfect tattoo was located on the front of her thigh.
"Oh My Gosh! Edward, look! It's finished!" Her beautiful voice rang out which pulled me back into reality. Bella had sat up and her vest was pulled up, showing off her new ink. Her latest design was a heart that had cracks start to break into the side with ivy starting to produce themselves from the cracks. This design looked fucking stunning on her although, I wasn't exactly going to tell her that in those exact words.
"It looks amazing Bells" Making sure that my voice held enough excitement so that her face would light up. I had to refrain from looking at her smile. I stared at her lips, they were just so red and full that I wanted to drag her somewhere and claim her as my own.
Jacob had started to give me a funny look and I realised that I had been moving towards Bella as if I was going to kiss her, I suddenly had a thought and I swooped down and hugged her, making sure not to touch her new ink. Jacob wouldn't like that – he thought that he deserved her first and I was positive that if I wasn't her, he would have Bella immediately, even if she didn't want him back.
I readjusted myself so that I was now sitting in an upright position and Jacob had pulled out a being of gauze and was starting to cover Bella's tattoo up to prevent infection.
"Oh Jake!" Bella protested. "Do we have to cover it up?" As he applied the tape that would hold the gauze in place. His fingers started to graze up her skin and she started to giggle like a school girl. I coughed loudly, attempting to get back their attention. Bella turned a bright red colour and started to look at everything except Jacob and I. This was the old Bella, the Bella that I missed. Jacob was glaring at me as if I had interrupted some of his shit.
"Just until the bleeding stops gorgeous" Jacob said seductively and I had to hold back a laugh. He sounded so ridiculous. Jacob started to lean towards Bella, as if to kiss her forehead but I was faster. My hand closed around Bella's wrist and I pulled her from underneath him, pulling her off the chair but not violently so that I wouldn't hurt her.
"Come on Bells, let's go" I wrapped my arm around Bella's waist as she pulled down her top over her covered tattoo. "Jacob, how much?" I enquired.
"$50 for you and $30 for Bella." He stated. Jacob was angry, and that was obvious. I threw down $80 and I picked up my shirt and shoving a corner of it into my back pocket.
As soon as we heard the slam of the parlour's wooden door, Bella started to run her hands over my chest. I had to say for 21, I had the perfect body. My muscles were ripped and I was a pronounced 6-pack. I went to the gym whenever I knew that Bella was safe with her Dad at home. Bella's hands had run from one side of my chest and down to my abs, and then round to the section of my back that was covered in gauze. I, like Bella, had just been ink. I felt her hand trace the outline of the gauze; she had no idea how good her touch felt. It was warm and her cold breath was hitting my back, it felt perfect.
If only these actions meant something.
My mind was jogged back in reality once again when I felt Bella's touch leave my skin. There were more important things than my less-than-lucky love life. I guided Bella over to my Black Mustang that I had recently re-painted so that it was in top condition.
"You know Bella, you shouldn't flirt with Jake. He definitely going to take your flirting as an invitation to do something" I said. I heard Bella's laugh as we both slid into the Mustang and I pulled on my seat belt. I slid the key into the ignition with ease but I didn't start the car. I looked over to where Bella was sitting. She had a habit of sitting cross legged in my car. She knew that I wouldn't start the care until she had her belt on. She sighed and pulled the strap across her.
"Have you ever thought that it was an invitation to 'do something'?" She sighed, making air quotes. I scoffed although I was secretly hoping that she was joking. Wouldn't that be fantastic, another conquest for Isabella Swan, Jacob Black…The man who was well known for fucking nearly every women that stared at him.
"Well, either was, if I were you, I'd set him straight instead of playing him like a puppet.
Bella chuckled and shook her head. "So Edward, you up for tomorrow? There's another party is Port Angeles. Jess and Lauren are getting their together and so are Mike and Tyler I think." I could practically hear the excitement in her voice. As if hanging out with Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory and desperate for sex boys Mike Newton and Tyler Crowley was at all appealing.
"Well you know me best Bells" I answered, I turned the key in the ignition and revved the engine.
I turned my head slightly towards her and found that she was staring me right in the eyes. "I go where the party goes". My signature wonky smile played on my lips. I slammed my foot on the accelerator and the car flew of, way over the speed limit with one thought running through my head.
The party always goes with Bella.
So your thought's please? I just thought of this while I was at work today and couldn't get it out of my mind so I needed to write it down.
Please review and give me idea for what to do
Much love xx
