Sitting on my bed putting on my 6 inch black stilettos I hear the bell go on the door. Knowing it is Alice and Rose I yell out that the door is open.
"Hey bitch you know you aren't supposed to do that. He'd kill whoever is watching the place." Rose walked in throwing her clutch on the bed.
Rolling my eyes I stand and walk to the mirror fixing my dress.
"Save it for someone who cares Rose. He may be my best friend's brother and your brother in-law but he holds no power here anymore. Not since he told me to leave. It has been what 2 years now? If he cared he would have apologized by now. Or at least tried to talk to me. Anyways it's not like it matters anymore. You saw the papers, now that he is in California on "business" he has had that skank Tanya on his arm."
Alice walked in the room.
"Ha my brother is a dumbass and you know it! You also know that Tanya is nothing to him. Not like you. And besides mom said he is going to be coming home soon. We don't know when but I guess the sit down with Vega went well." She sits down smoothly on the edge of my bed.
She looks me up and down, "Besides it's not like he would recognize you" she smirks "You were gorgeous before but I can tell you right now I would do you and I am as straight as they come"
We giggled and then straightened up.
"Ok let's go, Girls night officially has started and while we know those pricks of ours won't stay away long we need to get our party on" Rose said as she walked by me to leave the room smacking my ass on the way out.
"Woo" Alice screamed and walked out after me shutting the door to my house.
I hated when they talked about Edward. They could never leave it alone. Even their own mother kept trying. He didn't want me though. Not after he pushed me away and told me to leave. But they were insistent. Always talking about him needing his head straight with no distractions while he worked his way through the ranks. I didn't care what he did I had loved him with my whole being. If I was ever honest with myself I would admit to still loving his jack ass self. I thought of us women as their strengths not just weaknesses but he and his father thought otherwise.
Rose brought me out of my musings by shoving a glass of champagne in my hands and I chugged it needing the alcohol to forget.
"Ready to have fun girls?" I asked as Marcus pulled up to the club Phoenix. Marcus had been my driver when I was still with Edward. I refused his services after he asked me to leave so he was now Rose's driver.
I rolled my eyes for what seemed like the 12th time because of course we were going to a club Edward owned. I understood the girl's choice though. Their men needed them watched after while they weren't with them and it seemed like Edward owned all the damn clubs in town.
The girls didn't understand it. They had the loves of their lives. Mine had given me up. I am no one's second best. I don't want to have to wait for him to love me. I wanted to be his first and only love. That would never happen with Edward and I see that now.
What is that saying? "If you love something let it go and if it comes back it was meant to be but if it doesn't you dodged a bullet." With Edward's job I can see myself doing that metaphorically and physically.
I wasn't going to let this ruin girls night though. It took the better part of a year to get to where I wanted to be physically looking and mentally prepared to know I was worthy of someone. Thank you Dr. Emily Uley for that.
Walking into the VIP portion of the club Alice was already at the bar while Rose sat down on the plush red couch and flipped open her mirror to check her lipstick.
I grabbed the cosmo from Alice and we ladies drank them down quick.
"Let's dance" I grabbed Rose's hand with my right and then Alice's hand with my left and we left the area to go to the floor.
We were all over each other like lovers but we never trusted men in these clubs. We knew they watched. They stopped what they were doing and had eyes all over us three but that's how we loved it. We wanted to be the heart stoppers. It was another thing about me that had changed. I wasn't the mouse anymore. I was hot and single and I knew it.
A brave soul walked up to us and actually ased me for a dance and feeling that he was just a sweet boy I agreed. The ladies waved their fingers at me and danced with each other as the young kid started to move with me.
He was good. Really good but there was no spark. Not like I had when I danced with Edward. I figured it was my mind and let myself go with the beat and really got into the dance. It was weird because it hit me like a tidal wave. He was behind me and apparently my letting myself get into the music allowed me to feel that feeling. It was hot and heavy and crazy good and I could feel it through my entire body. It was like an electric current running through me.
I closed my eyes and savored it. I turned and instead of the sweet boy with baby blues there he was in all God's creation with those piercing Emeralds.
The room was packed and his eyes pierced me through down to my soul. I hadn't felt this way since forever ago. I didn't stop. I didn't want it to stop. We always looked like a piece of art when we danced. We were a fucking masterpiece. But I was slightly confused. He grabbed my hand I went crazy inside and I could literally feel him pumping through my veins.
I gave in and he knew it because he pulled me so damn close that a breeze could get through. His eyes owned me. I never broke contact. The room fell away and all I could see was the way his eyes blazed through me like fire in the night.
It was everything I had wanted to feel for the past 2 years but as the music changed I broke contact. I had to. I couldn't think with him near. I didn't even know he was supposed to be here. I looked around for a second and spotted the girls with their men before I felt him come up behind me.
God we fit perfect like a puzzle and before I could pull away he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the VIP area.
We had just walked in the area and I turned pulling my hand from him.
"What are you doing Edward? You may have amnesia but I don't. I know what you clearly told me that night so you have no right to come up to me like this. You aren't going to get your way this time." I was actually starting to get pissed.
"God you were always sexy when I pissed you off kitten. And to answer your question blue eyes was getting too handsy with what is mine" He smirked as he brought a glass of amber liquid up to his lips
Huffing I turned to him and jabbed him in the chest with my finger.
"Listen here jack ass. You left me and we are not together anymore so if I wanted to go fuck every guy on that floor I could. You are not my husband, lover, father or brother so you have no god damn right!" I hissed at him.
He grabbed my waist before I could back away and pulled me close.
"Do you feel that? Hmm? You will always be mine kitten. Always. Sure you could try to fuck all those men out there but they would be dead by the time they tried to get their belts off and you would still be mine. You have been mine since we were 12 kitten. We belong together and I was an idiot for listening to my uncle about you being a distraction for work. But let me tell you something baby, you love me for everything you think you hate me for. We are meant to be and I am sorry for letting you go. We will talk more on it later but just close your eyes and feel it baby."
He pushed himself up so close every line of his body fit mine like water lines meeting. Seamless.
I did feel it and he knew it. He hummed through my veins like a drug and I loved it. I always had. Even when he claimed me to be his forever at 12.
I opened my eyes and looked up into his Emerald eyes knowing I could fight all I wanted but I couldn't lie about it.
"I'm going to hell for even considering forgiving you." I whispered.
"I have heard hell can be quite fun kitten. Join me in hell and be my queen." He whispered in my ear kissing the under part of my ear at the top of my neck. "Give in and let me give you the world baby. No more leaving and no more listening to idiots. Give in and let's make that passion and fire once again."
"Fine but we need to talk first." I gave him a look and his thumb caressed my bottom lip before he smirked and then consumed me.
His lips were like fire on mine. It was like a struck match meeting a sparkler. It was all consuming and I wanted to let it burn forever. My back hit a wall but he never let me go. God I had missed this. My arms around his neck his hands everywhere. It was insane. It was fire. It was passion.
It was us.
I felt like an idiot for giving in but oh it felt so right to be so damn bad. And I never claimed to be an Angel.
Besides I had just made a deal with the Devil.
