Spring Break in Paradise
"This place is so awesome," I said as Alice, Angela, and I checked out the house we had rented for two weeks at Spring Break. We were in Destin, Florida- about a mile from the beach.
"I can't believe it's finally Spring Break! Bella, I'm so glad your dad helped us get this place, this is gonna be so much fun!" Alice said, or should I say squealed. What can I say, she's a very hyper person. Since it is our senior year, my dad, Charlie, helped us pay for this place, kind of like an early graduation present to all of us. Alice, Angela, and I have been friends since 9th grade, when I moved to Forks with my dad. My mother Renee was in an accident and she died, but I don't like to talk about it with my dad or anyone.
"Bella, we are so going out tonight," Alice said excitedly.
"Alice, we just got here, can't we rest for just one night? We've got two weeks to party, and I swear I'll let you dress me up if really feel that it is necessary."
"Of course it is necessary!! You never make any effort to look good. Anyway, I don't care what you say- Angela and I are going to party tonight!"
"Fine, I'll go with you," I knew Alice would torture me with her makeup and uncomfortable clothes, but I didn't want to stay here all alone. Alice and Angela then proceeded to jump up and down with excitement. Great.
After Alice and Angela were finally done with my hair and makeup they gave me an outfit to wear. It was a flowing top with a black belt and skinny jeans. Alice wanted me to wear heels, but I refused (I'm not the most coordinated person and I swear those heels were death traps) and found some cute flats.
At the club the music was pounding, the air was sweaty, and it smelled like alcohol. Typical. We immediately went to go get some drinks- we all got martinis. The bartender us each a once-over and winked. I guess it was supposed to look sexy, but it just made him look like his eye was twitching. Alice, Angela, and I tried to smother our giggles, but the guy looked at us weird, which made it even funnier.
"Tha- (uncontrollable laughter)-nks (still laughing) for our (laughing again) drinks!" I tried to be nice and thank him but it was his fault he looked so retarded!
"Okay that was hilarious. Now c'mon lets go dance!" Angela said and started leading us to the dance floor. Too bad she forgot about my amazing tripping skills and I tripped into a hard, muscular chest.
"Omigosh I'm so sorry! Are you-"
"It's fine, I'm okay. Are you okay though?" The beautiful stranger asked with a crooked smile, but I found it hard to concentrate while looking into his emerald eyes. He was like a Greek god- he had bronze disheveled, yet perfect, hair, alabaster skin, and a toned body. Angela and Alice giggled, winked at me, and went to dance.
"I, um, I'm fine yeah," I stuttered. Gosh, way to make a fool out of yourself in front of this hot guy!
"I'm Edward Cullen. And you are?"
"I'm Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella." It was then that I noticed he was still holding me up, and I regretfully pulled myself away from his arms. He looked a little disappointed for some reason. And then MY song came on.
"I love this song!" I said as I started swaying to the beat of Stop by the Spice Girls- I know its kinda weird that I love this song so much but its awesome.
"Would you like to dance?" Edward asked politely and I was floored. Why would he want to ask me? Oh well, he was so beautiful it didn't matter.
"Yes, thank you." He smiled crookedly and led me to the dance floor. My heart was beating erratically from his hand around my waist, what was wrong with me? His touch was making me freak out and I didn't know why.
