So everyone I believe I have had a poll up for a long time now and everyone seems to be voting for the playlist story set in glorious LAS VEGAS. So I went with it this is that story and it switches between Edward and Bella so it may get confusing (just warning you). I apologize but I will not be posting anymore of this story until I finish Suicidal Love (it's a personal thing-these stories would confuse me too much with the dual writing) I hope you enjoy this first chapter of LOVE GAMBLE.
"Bella, I see them," my best friend, Alice, was screaming as we entered the club.
"I see them, Alice. Don't worry!" I assured her. We began crossing the floor to sit with Alice's boyfriend Jasper, his sister Rosalie, and Rose's fiancé Emmett. Jasper and Rosalie were twins but had very different personalities.
Rose was bitchy but Jasper was so calm and relaxed- the only thing they shared in was that they were both incredibly good looking.
Rose had long flowing blond hair that went to about her lower back, her body was prefect, and of course she was a swimsuit model. Jasper had the same blond hair but his only went to his shoulders and was normally pulled into a ponytail; he was well built but not giant and was a professional fighter.
Emmett was like a big brother I never had, he had dark curly hair that was very short, he had dimples and the goofiest grin on at all times. Emmett was the kind of guy you wanted to back you up, the boy was huge and could lift a car if he wanted, and he was a professional bodybuilder.
"Bella, Alice!" Emmett yelled waving his hand. I smiled and so did Alice.
Now, Alice was an aspiring fashion designer with some major talent at professional shopping. She always knew exactly what to put on every body type and made anybody look amazing. Alice was a tiny thing at 5'4", but was beautiful no matter what mood she was in. She had black hair that had whatever color streak she was in the mood for that week- this week was purple. Her wide blue eyes and her angled features matched her petite little frame.
"Hey," I said as I sat down at the table. "So how's everything?"
"Good, I beat my record." Jasper smiled and said, "I didn't get stitches, break a bone or have a concussion after the last fight." Jasper was known for his attitude- he never gave up even if it meant he would pay later. Alice smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Wedding plans are hard," Rose complained.
"I lifted over 200 pounds today in training." Emmett was always trying to beat his record and he always came back with something.
"That's great guys," I smiled and looked into the crowd. I hated seeing Alice and Jasper when they were all lovey-dovey, and Rose and Emmett were always all over each other. I detested that because I had my heart broken by my last boyfriend when he found out what I do for a living.
"Hey, Bells," Alice called my attention back to the booth. "Now, don't get mad." That never meant anything good. "We thought you could use a boost so we set you up with Emmett's little brother."
They set me up on a blind date!
"What? Why!?" I asked loudly.
"Mainly because you are always sad around us and you have been single for too long now," Rose said bluntly.
"Bella, he's the perfect guy for you," Emmett added.
"Okay, whatever, but if I'm going to do this I have ground rules." They nodded their heads. "One, if I don't like him within ten minutes, I'm going to work early. Two, if I like him enough for a second date you do not interfere." That was pointed mostly at Alice. "And three, I need a drink." I stood up and looked at everyone. "So do you want anything?"
Emmett grinned and gave me a thumbs up. "Gimme a scotch," he said, winking at me.
I rolled my eyes as I moved on.
"Just a beer." Jasper only looked at Alice as he spoke.
"A margarita, on the rocks. No salt," Rose explained. She appeared happy. Of course, she always was when she got alcohol.
"Just water," Alice pouted. She was designated driver tonight. "But add a lemon wedge, please," Alice said. She always had to add some flair to something plain; it was just so Alice.
"Okay then." I walked to the bar to order.
"Hello, what could I get for you?" The normal bartender asked.
"Oh, just the normal order, Mike," I said as he looked up from what he was doing. Mike was nice, and I knew he had feelings for me, but I didn't feel the same way about him. He had blond hair, brown eyes and a very boyish face. He wasn't unattractive… he just wasn't my type.
"Okay, then Bells." He started the order. "So how's work going?" he asked like always.
"Fine, I guess. The pay isn't wonderful but the tips are killer." I smiled because my tips for a week were almost double my pay.
"That's good. You met anyone yet?" He always asked that question as he was finishing the last drink, so I knew he was almost done.
I rolled my eyes. He was always eager to hear me say "no." "Not yet, Mike," I admitted. "But they," I pointed to my table, "set me up on a blind date."
"Oh, really?" He seemed to drop his happy mood but remained by my side as he took the drinks to our table.
"Yeah, I guess, they said it was Emmett's brother."
"Oh really." He smirked "Emmett- scotch. Rose-Margarita, on the rocks- no salt. Jasper-beer. Bella- apple martini, and since its Alice's turn- water." Alice opened her mouth to object. "With a lemon wedge," he added quickly. Mike even knew our D.D. schedule, so we couldn't cheat him into giving us a drink.
"Thanks Mike." Everyone called as he walked back to the bar.
"So, Bella, are you ready for your date?" Rose asked as I took the first sip of my drink.
Okay so what did you think? I really would love reviews even if I'm not going to update for a while but they would help my thoughts flow better. Bye Love ZANDER
