Chapter 1
"Urgh dad come on, I'm 21 at least let me go out?" I desperately asked my father. "Bella no! We have a reputation to upkeep and I don't want you going out and ruining it all" I sighed frustrated.
My names Bella Swan and for the past 21 years my father has controlled my life. 'Why don't you just leave?' You may ask well here's the answer I can't leave because I'm the only family my father has left. I am an only child and my mother died when I was 10. Ever since then it's been me and Charlie. We live the life of luxury but to be honest I'm grateful for it but I don't like it at all. I hate having things handed to me in a silver platter. I envy the 'normal' people who live in a standard house and go to work every day to earn their money that is what I want.
But I don't get to live that life, my father is the 2nd richest man in the world so as you can guess we live on a big estate with 10 bedrooms, a games room, 3 swimming pools, a spa, and everything else a girl could possibly want but me. But being part of this family has its drawbacks I don't get to go out and live a normal sociable life a 21 year old should have, I was privately tutored alongside the royal family so I am close friends with Prince Harry and William.
I've never had a boyfriend and I've never had sex. So yes I am an isolated 21 year old virgin. It's not as if people haven't asked me out they have but my father never saw them fit for me to date so that was shot down as soon as they offered. I am quite pretty, I have long wavy brown hair that reaches just above my waist, and I have chocolate brown eyes and pink full lips. I am quite skinny but I have curves in all the right places, I have quite big boobs for my age, but they help and an average size bum.
I'm quite happy with the way I look, I often get marriage proposals from people my father is friends with but there never seems to be anyone I like. I love children and I really want some of my own but I need to find the right guy first. Charlie cleared his throat to get my attention. "Do you understand that Bella?" I looked at him confused. "Uh understand what exactly?" I said to him, he sighed "we're you even listening to me?" He asked "um... Sort of, I spaced out I guess" I admitted. "What am I going to do with you, you never listen to me. I said you need to understand that you have a responsibility now to show that you are a mature woman who will follow in my footsteps" I sighed.
I forgot Charlie's company was he ran the most expensive and ostentatious lawyer company in the world, with branches in London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles and other places. He wanted me to take over his company when he retired but I wasn't interested in that, I wanted to become a children's author. I had already written a couple of books one my laptop but I didn't have anyone to proof read them so I could send them off. "Dad I've told you before I have no interest in becoming a lawyer, that's your dream that's not mine" I told him getting angry.
"Now don't talk nonsense Bella" he said. "Dad I've had enough of you talking to me like a child, I'm going out with Alice. I will talk to you when I get back" I said as I grabbed my stuff. "What time will you be back, I don't want you out late" I turned around. "You can't tell me what to do, I'm 21 years old. I'm officially an adult. I will be back when I want, and it's not going to be tonight." I said as I stormed out the door.
I jumped in my Lexus and screeched out the driveway. 10 minutes I entered Alice's neighbourhood. Alice was my best friend, she was not as rich as my family but she was quite well off, her family however decided to buy a house in a quiet neighbourhood so they could help blend in, they were my second family, if ever me and Charlie argued which was quite a lot I would come here, I was always welcome.
Jane and Tom Brandon were my adopted parents, they were always there is I needed them, I would open up to them and they would tell me what they think I should do. I loved them to bits. I located Alice's house soon after and turned on to her driveway, I shut the car off and walked up to the door, and Alice opened it, "what's he done now?" Her first words to me were, "he is still trying to control me Alice. 2 marriage proposals I had yesterday. 2! What am I going to do?" I said as I sobbed in to her shoulder. She pulled me into her bedroom. "Right enough of that we are going out! I don't want any complaining understand" I just nodded, I knew better than to argue with Alice.
2 hours later we were ready to hit the town, I was dressed in the shortest dress I've ever been in, it was black and skin tight, it was low cut which showed some of my cleavage, I paired it was a pair of black heels and jewellery. I looked in the mirror and saw that I actually looked quite nice. Alice was wearing a pink skin tight dress with black heels. We walked down the stairs, said a quick bye to the parents and we were off, we got a taxi as none of us wanted to be a designated driver.
Half an hour later we arrived at club gravity, it was one of the nicest clubs that Seattle had to offer. We got out the car and walked up to the bouncer, he took one look at us and let us straight in, as I walked past he winked at me, I blushed and carried on walking in. We headed straight to the bar where I ordered a double vodka and coke while Alice ordered a blue WKD.
After we downed our drink we decided to head out to the dance floor, Flo Riders Low came on and I and Alice found ourselves pressed up against each other grinding to the music. I had so much fun, we managed to attract quite a bit of attention as many men came up trying to get us to dance with them, I decided in that minute that I was going to find one man I was attracted to and go home with them! I made a bet with Alice to see who would be able to find the hottest guy first.
After a few more songs and a few dances with some men I was getting thirsty again, I walked back to the bar when I bumped in to someone, I looked up and found the most beautifulest man I have ever seen before me, he had bronze messy hair and dazzling green eyes. "Sorry miss" he said to me in a musically voice. "No... No... It's fine! I wasn't looking where I was going, sorry!" I stuttered out. He smiled and walked away. I looked dazed after him and realised I wanted him.
I ordered straight vodka and made my way to a table where Alice was currently sat. I slumped down in the chair opposite, "I feel so fucking minging, and can we go home now?" I asked Alice. "N...no... No! We can't go home! We need to find mister sexy" she told me, I sighed wondering where the hot guy disappeared to, I looked round and found him sat a few tables down from me with a tall lean blonde boy and a gorgeous blonde girl. Figures the hot ones always go for a blond girl; I had no chance to start off with.
I turned to Alice and decided to drown my sorrows in alcohol, we ordered 10 shots each and downed them one after another, I had enough of this, and I got up and headed towards the dance floor when I tripped! Instead of falling to the floor a pair of strong arms encircled my waist. I turned to see the sexy green eyed man staring at me. At that time all I could think was this man is going to be mine
