Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy this new story I just wrote. I tried my best for grammar corrections but there could be a couple lingering mistakes. If you're up for being a beta, message me.
Twilight does not belong to me but the plot does.
Bella Swan tossed in bed trying to hide her face from the morning sun that beamed through the white curtains, creeping into the room. Her body instinctively snuggled closer to the hard warm source beside her. She burrowed her nose deeper into the pillow inhaling it's calming scent. Before she could drift back to sleep, she felt something was off. Her eyes fluttered open and she blinked a couple times letting them adjust to the light.
After a moment or two she suddenly realized that this was no pillow she was snuggling up against, but instead a full grown man. Her first instinct was to flee.
She gently untangled herself from his arms and creeped out of the warm bed. The throbbing in her head screamed for her to lie back down but was ignored.
Looking around the huge master bedroom she found her clothes scattered just about everywhere. She quickly found her phone on the floor and saw that it was just around 6:30 in the morning. Quickly she hunted down her dark blue dress and her black pumps. As she untangled her bra from his jacket, a business card fell out. Edward Cullen. So his name was Edward. . Before she could do any further snooping, she heard him stir from the bed. She froze, praying to God he had not woken up. His light snoring put her at ease; she placed his jacket back on the floor and put on her undergarments.
She felt the urge to steal one of his sweaters to cover herself up, but decided against it at the last minute. She wanted to forget about last night and having a souvenir would not help that. She quietly turn to the door and headed out.
Taking one last look at the man she had woken up next to, she saw that his hair was a striking bronze color and was sticking up all over the place. Probably from their late night activities. She wanted to run her fingers though it over and over again. However she figured that if she were to stay any longer this could easily turn into an awkward situation.
Bella quietly slipped out the bedroom door and found herself in a massive living area fully furnished with modern furniture.
She headed for the door and slipped on her heels before shutting the door behind her. Heading for the elevator she couldn't help but notice his apartment seemed to be the only apartment on this floor. No wonder it's so massive inside, she thought as she slipped inside the elevator.
As she reached the lobby floor she was greeted by the doorman who offered to call her a cab. She gladly accepted his offer seeing how she wanted to get home as soon as possible and it helped since she had no idea where she was.
She took a seat in the fancy sitting area waiting for her cab. Checking her phone again, she notice that she had 13 missed calls and 10 text messages.
"Bells, where were you the whole night?"
''Rose and I are about to leave the club, where the heck are you?''
''Bella, are you still at the club? Alice is getting worried.''
''We're heading back to the apartment, Rose is about to pass out. Answer your phone!''
''ISABELLA, PHONES ARE FOR ANSWERING!''
She didn't have to read the rest of the messages to know she was in trouble.
Crap! Alice and Rose are going to kill me.
~ . ~ . ~
Last night was all a blur to her, she only remembered bits of what had happened. She did however clearly recall being dragged to a club with her two best friends and roommates.
She had originally planned to curl up on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book. That all changed when Alice and Rosalie came home gushing about the new club, Eclipse's grand opening downtown.
They had claimed that Bella worked too hard and needed to spend her Saturday nights out not at home reading.
Out of the 7 years she has known the girls, she knew it was absolutely pointless to argue with them. The girls have met when Bella moved into the house next to Alice Brandon in the sixth grade. They quickly became friends and Bella was introduced to Alice's best friend Rosalie Hale. The three girls have become inseparable after that and stuck together through thick and thin.
Before she knew it, Rosalie had drag her to the bathroom and began curling her hair. Her cup of hot chocolate forgotten. While her hair was being fried, Alice started doing her makeup, giving her a nice smoking eye. Bella wasn't the kind to dress up so when she did get these makeovers from Rosalie and Alice, she felt out of her skin.
An hour and a half later, they were finally done harassing Bella. Bella stood up to look at herself through the full length and was shocked to see the girl staring back at her. Bella's hair flowed in elegant waves past her shoulders and she was squeezed into one of Alice's tiny midnight blue dress falling to mid-thigh. She also had on 5 inch black Louboutin's. She had to admit, Alice and Rose can be real miracle workers.
After another hour or so, Alice and Rosalie were finally ready. Alice had on her skin tight sparkly purple dress while Rosalie had a fitting bloody red number on. They both adorn their looks with 6 inch heels and bold lipstick.
When the girls got to Eclipse, there was already a long line that wrapped around the building. Surprisingly enough Rosalie managed to charm the bouncer to let them in within 5 minutes without even asking for ID.
''What did you say to him?'' Bella whispered to Rose once they were away from hearing distance.
''Let's just say he just might be getting lucky tonight.''
Bella's jaw fell slightly open and Alice started giggling. She had to admit the bouncer was pretty cute but he was a total stranger.
"Don't worry Bells, it's not like he can find me in here with all the people."
The inside of the club was huge, and there were people scattered about. In the center of the club stood the enormous bar stacked with countless numbers of alcoholic drinks.
They quickly headed for the bar before it got too crowded. Plus Rosalie knew that without any alcohol in her system, Bella would be a total party pooper. Bella was surprise to see that the bartenders didn't ask to see her ID either, she felt slightly guilty seeing how she was only 18 but let the feeling pass.
Before long Alice was asked to dance by some tall blonde guy with piercing blue eyes. Alice and her mystery man disappeared into the dance floor leaving Bella and Rosalie standing by the bar.
''I guess it's just me and you. Let's go dance!''
By then, Bella had enough alcohol in her system to let loose. She had to admit she was having fun with Rosalie on the crowded dance floor. However the fun only lasted 2 songs before Rosalie announced that she had to pee. Bella offered to go with but Rosalie insisted her to stay and have fun. Feeling awkward alone on the dance floor, she started to make her way back to the bar. However before she could get there she felt hands on her waist.
''Hey sugar, where you going?'' a slurred voice whispered in her ear.
She immediately tried to shrugged away when the hands grabbed onto her tighter.
"Eww, please keep your hands off me."
"Oh come on sugar don't be like that."
Bella attempted to get away from the strange drunk man but his grip was too strong. He began grinding against her backside and she started to panic. This would be the perfect moment for Rose to come back from the bathroom she thought.
"Get off of me!"
"Ohh, you're a feisty one aren't you? I'm up for that kind of fun."
She could smell the alcohol in his breath and knew his man was absolutely wasted. Before she could make another attempt to get away she felt the mans body being ripped from her and she was suddenly being shield away from the man who harassed her.
"Eyy man, get your own girl!"
"The lady said to get your hands off!" A strong voice said.
"I was just dancing with the chick, mind your own business," his words came out slurred.
"I don't think the lady appreciates you 'just dancing' with her," he responded with his teeth clenched.
The man immediately backed off slightly.
"Okay dude, whatever, you can have her. But let me tell you something, she may be hot but she's a total bitch."
Before Bella knew what was happening, the man was on the floor with a bruised lip and her savior was standing over him.
"Don't you ever speak to her that way! Apologize now!" His voice turn menacing.
"I. .I'm s. .sorry." His voice began to quaver and he let Bella go.
"Now get out of my sight."
Before he could get up, two big security guards in black suits dragged him towards the door. The man turned around and she was instantly lost in the pools of deep green that was his eyes.
His expression soften, "Are you alright?"
"Um..y-yeah, thank you."
"May I buy you a drink?"
"Umm..actually I was going to wait for my friend.."
"Please, just one drink."
How could she say no to those eyes. She mutely nodded her head yes and they proceeded to the bar.
Two drinks later, she felt a sudden urge to dance and pulled her green-eyed stranger to the dance floor. They squeezed through the sweaty mess until they found a spot completely encircled by heated dancers. He immediately pulled her body to his and pressed himself against her back as they began to sway. Her body molded itself to his as she lost herself in the beat of the music and let her head fall onto his shoulder. She felt his lips slowly glaze her neck, her body instantly lit on fire. In that moment, all her ethics were thrown out the window. She needed more.
Bella turned her body around not breaking contact for a second and pressed her lips to his. He was shocked for only a moment then swiftly circled his arms around her tiny waist and kissed her back. His tongue skimmed her lips as if asking for permission, which she happily gave. He captured her bottom lip with his own and she couldn't help but let out a small moan. This spurred him on even more. She felt the evidence of his attraction for her pressed up against her stomach. She felt another moan escape from her lips and continue to grind closer to him. The two continue to completely lose themselves in one another and everyone else in the room just disappeared. "Gosh, I need you so bad right now," he said against her lips.
Losing herself in the moment she agreed. The next thing she knew, she was being lured through the masses and towards the door of the club. She heard her mystery man say something to a security guard standing by the door and was quickly handed his jacket. When they walked out the door of the club, a black sleek SUV was waiting for them out front. As soon as they go into the car, their hands were instantly on each other.

"Miss? Your cab has arrived." The sound of the doorman's voice pulled her out of her memory, she thanked the man before getting up. She immediately sent a quick message to Rosalie and Alice, letting them both know she was fine and on her way home before heading to the cab.
Getting in the cab was awkward. The cab driver repeatedly looked back at her through the rear view mirror. She felt self-conscious, it felt like he knew what she was up to last night and was now taking her walk of shame. When the ride came an end, she shoved a few bills at him not bothering for change.
When she got back to her shared apartment she found heels scattered in the living room and Rosalie passed out on the couch. Alice's bedroom door was slightly open. The girls had rented a 3 bedroom apartment about 15 minutes from campus about three months ago because Rosalie had refused live in a dorm with 'some strange bitch.' They were surprise they had found a opening at such the last minute but apparently the previous renters couldn't pay the full rent. They wouldn't have been able to either if it wasn't for Rosalie's parents.
Rosalie is also an only child and was spoiled rotten as a kid. Her parents felt the need to get her everything under the sun. Now that their little baby was headed off to college, they fully equipped her with an apartment and a brand new red convertible BMW.
She quickly sneaked past Alice's room and into the bathroom. She was in desperate need for a nice hot shower to clear her mind. She quietly closed the door to the bathroom and stripped herself of last nights clothes and wiped off her smeared makeup. She tested the water just to make sure it was hot enough before getting in. She spent the next 20 minutes letting the water calm her thoughts before finally deciding to get out. She wrapped herself in a white fluffy towel and headed to her room to grab some pajamas. She put on her favorite fleece blue pajama bottoms and a simple white tank top.
As she headed to the kitchen to grab some coffee, she noticed that Rose was off the couch and the bathroom light was on. She proceeded to pour coffee into her green mug and added cream and sugar. After giving it a quick stir, she grabbed a banana nut muffin from the counter to satisfy her stomach. She was about to head back into the living room to watch TV when Alice jumped on her.
''Isabella Marie Swan, where the heck were you last night and why weren't you answering your phone?''
Out of the corner of her eye she saw a showered Rosalie sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee in hand.
''Umm. . .''
Rosalie didn't bother to let Bella finish her excuse. ''We were worried sick, Alice thought you were kidnapped or something.''
Bella instantly felt bad.
''I'm so sorry you guys. My phone was on silent and . . .''
Her sentence stopped short, she couldn't admit that she had a one night stand with a complete stranger.
Alice had a knowing smile on her face. ''Isabella, did you sneak off to have sex last night?'' she asked in a teasing voice.
Bella felt blood rushing to her face. She could try denying it, but she was a horrible liar.
''Oh my gosh, did our little prude finally find herself some action last night?''
Now Bella was no virgin but it had been a long while since she did the deed.
Rosalie was quick to react, ''Quick! We want details! How was he! What did he look like? Was he any good? What was his name?''
At this point Bella was sure her face would permanently be the color of a tomato.
Bella quickly mumbled off details of her that she could remember.
''Holy Crap Bella! 3 times? He must be good! I didn't know you had it in you,'' Rosalie gushed. At least Bella thought it was three times.. Okay, let's see, once against the door, once on his bed. . oh and again in his shower. .yeah that makes three.
''That's too bad you don't remember his name.''
Bella signed. Yeah, it was a great night but totally not a moral thing to do.
Crap, did he use protection last night? She pushed that thought aside before she could start panicking.
''It doesn't matter cause I'm never going to see him again. It was a one time thing,'' she answered with determination.
Boy was she wrong. . .

Edward Cullen turned in his bed expecting to find a warm body next to him. Instead he found the other side of the bed cold and his room empty.
The events of last night came rushing back to him. He hastily got out of bed and slipped on a pair of boxers. He rummaged through his room hoping to find any trace of the goddess he had just spent the night with.
He was disappointed to not even find a note. He inwardly cursed himself for sleeping through her departure. He was usually a light sleeper but the bed was just so comfortable last night.
Edward pulled out his phone and quickly called his assistant, Collin.
''Collin, I need you to find out about the girl I was with last night. Give me a name and where I can find her. I need it as soon as possible.''
And with that he hung up.
You see when Edward wanted something, or in this case someone, he was determined to get it.
And as of now, he was determined to make Bella his.
So what did you think? I'm not 100% on the title. It's a tad on the short side I know. I'll try to make the next one longer. You'll find out more about our lovely Edward then. I've already started the next chapter and will try to get it up as soon as possible, but you never know with school and everything. Plus my birthday is on Wednesday, Woo Hoo!
Well, thanks for reading! I hope you get a chance to review.
