Bella POV

Well, life is hard. It's always been hard for me I guess. My name is Isabella Swan but I like to go by Bella. I hate the fact that Isabella is so formal. I'm a stripper.

When I turned 15 my father, Charlie kicked me out. He never appreciated anything I did. If I got good grades in school, he didn't appreciate it. If I clean the whole house and cook dinner he didn't appreciate it. Hell, I even had a job that didn't pay much but I was able to buy groceries and even pay half of the bills but he didn't appreciate it.

He always looked down on me since my mom passed away. We looked alike a lot and I just didn't understand why Charlie treated me the way he did. I guess he just missed my mom a lot. Anyway I'm 22 now and I'm a stripper at a club called Twilight.

It's a very high class strip club that pays well. I am one of the best dancers since I'm flexible and have nice curves. I am naturally beautiful I guess. People always tell me that but I don't want to believe it. I am just as plain as they come. I got boring brown eyes, boring brown hair, and an awful pale complexion.

Tonight is the night I perform. I am in my dressing room changing into my black and blue garter, my black thong and thigh length leather boots. I was currently doing my makeup. I decided on a smoky eyed look. I used black eye shadow. I put on mascara and lip gloss.

I agreed with my look. I got up off my seat and walked out the room. There was a red carpet that lead to the main stage. I was always nervous before I perform because I just think of all the things that could go wrong. I don't want to make a full of myself even though I'm a good dancer.

I hear on the loud speaker, "Now coming to the stage is Bella" I couldn't help but giggle at the fact that Jake tried to make my name sound sexy. Jake is the man who introduces the dancers and he has a huge crush on me but I could never return the feelings. I walked up the red carpet covered steps and waited until the curtains pulled back.

There was a loud applause on the other side and cat calls. I just closed my eyes and took a deep breathe. I relaxed a bit and opened my eyes. The curtains slowly opened and I walked out slowly, swaying my hips for the men. That only made them go wild.

I had bills thrown on the stage in seconds. They were cheering, whistling, and asking me to let them be mine. It was a pretty amusing sight but I had determination to get my job done and that was to give these men pleasure through my dancing.

I grasped the pole tightly and hitched my leg over it. I continued my slow grinding only making them go crazy. I twirled, swayed, spun and grinded. I had about 3,000 dollars in my wallet already and it made me feel proud. As I looked out in the crowd I wished I hadn't.

Sitting at the center table watching me was the Volturi family and the Cullen family. They were the biggest mob families in the country as well as Italy. I didn't know how I didn't notice them before. I continued dancing but secretly was observing them. I recognized Aro, Marcus, and Caius. I saw Aro's daughter Jane and her twin brother Alec.

I noticed their body guards Felix and Demetri. The way they were staring at me was unsettling but I didn't let it get to me. The Cullens is who stood out the most. They were just plain beautiful, every last one of them. There was Carlisle and his wife Esme. Their niece and nephew Rosalie and Jasper. Their body guard Emmett was somewhere lurking around.

I now noticed their children Alice and Edward. All the girls here had a crush on the forever famous Edward Cullen but I know he is just some stupid man-whore. I don't do having sex for money so they can forget me having random sex period. I only had sex twice in my life and I don't want to have stupid one night stands that would only make me feel dirty.

As my dance came to an end I winked at the crowd. The men cheered and blew kisses at me. A few tried to get on stage but the security kept them away. Oh, did I mention that this placed was owned by the Cullens. I guess I didn't. I don't usually see them around until now. I was awfully nervous about what was going on.

I walked off the stage making sure to give a little shake of my hips which makes them go wild. I couldn't keep the satisfied smirk off my face. As I walked down the stairs I saw Jessica and Lauren glaring at me.

"You know I don't know why whores like you work here?" Lauren sneered at me. I knew that they were only jealous of me.

"First of all I'm not a whore. Compared to you I am basically a virgin. So I advise that you take you, your little puppy, and your used up pussy get out of my face!" I sneered back at her. I walked away from them with their shocked faces. Now before long their face turned into one of rage.

I walked into my dressing room, yes 'dressing room', and put my robe on. I heard the door open and I turned to see Angela. She was a sweet girl but she can become pretty seductive and devious when the time comes. I am sure she is into that submissive and dominant thing but I'm not so sure so I don't ask.

"I loved the show you put on tonight Bells." She gave me a tight hug before letting me go.

"Thanks Ang. I was so nervous as always but I got over it. The one thing that got me was the fact that the Volturi and Cullen families were watching me closely. I felt so unease. What if they fire me or worse?" I couldn't help but shutter.

"Hey snap out of it! Listen nothing is going to happen to you. You're perfectly fine. There is absolutely no reason for them to fire you. Now get cleaned up and go home and relax. You need it." Angela was being logical but that didn't stop me from feeling nervous.

"Okay Ang. I'll call you in the morning okay?" I asked while I gave her one more hug. I felt her nod against my shoulder as I pulled back. I gave her one last smile before I began to change.

I heard my door close. I let out a yawn as I stepped out of my clothes and put on a green V-Neck Black Lace dress. I put on some black tights with flower designs on them. I put on my black pumps and grabbed my bag. I grabbed my black leather jacket and put it on. I turned off the light and walked out into the hallway.

I walked out the back door and into the dark alley. I turned left toward my apartment. I only leaved a couple of blocks away but I had to walk through the alley to get there. Luckily I make it through the alley way safely without being mugged or anything. It was a little chilly out so I began to speed walk. I arrived in front of my apartment building in no time.

It wasn't much but it was all I could afford for right now. Luckily I get paid a lot of money so I was saving up to get a house. I walked into the building and smiled as the warm air hit me. I took the elevated after greeting the man behind the desk. I never learned his name but he is quite friendly.

I reached my floor which was on the top floor. It was good that the building was clean and in a decent neighborhood. I arrived at my door and unlocked it with my key. I walked into my cozy apartment and set down my bag as I took off my coat. I turned on the light and took a deep breathe.

I wasn't really hungry so I decided to skip dinner. I took off my heels and tossed them on the couch. To describe my apartment I have one bedroom, a living room/dining room, and a kitchen. It was nice and I painted the whole house a nice peach color except for my room. My room was white and green. It was beautiful to me.

I walked into my bedroom and into the bathroom. I washed my face getting the makeup off. I walked back into my room and began to unzip my dress. I took it off and took off the tights, leaving me in my thong and bare chested.

"I always thought you had a beautiful body." A deep, husky voice said from somewhere in the room. I screamed and turned around. Sitting on my bed was Edward Cullen.
