Chapter Three
I lay relaxing next to my parent's swimming pool, soaking up the Florida sun. I had been fidgeting all morning trying to get comfortable. The problem was everywhere I turned, all I saw was his green eyes watching me in discussed. Damn my big mouth. Why had I thrown my money round like that? Was I that desperate for him that I would have stooped that low? Edward wasn't some piece of meat you could bid on. I knew I had deeply offended him.
"Bella," my mother called, rushing across the yard towards me. "Your father is coming home today."
"Is he?" I smiled. It was safe to say I was a daddy's girl. I could hardly wait. He had been gone for over a month now.
"Yes, his plane has just touched down. He couldn't wait to tell us."
"I'll go and get changed," I beamed getting up, grabbing my towel.
"Are you alright darling?" My mother asked following me across the yard.
"Yes."
"You have seemed a little down these last few days."
"I guess I have been missing dad," I lied. I knew exactly what was causing my mood swings, he had piercing green eyes.
"Well, he is on his way as we speak." My mother sang, hugging me so tightly I could hardly breathe.
oxoxoxoxox
"Bella baby, I have missed you." My dad swung me round in a tight embrace.
"I missed you too Daddy." I muttered, clinging to him.
"So, what has been happening over the last four weeks?" He asked settling down on the couch between my mother and me.
"Bella had another proposal." My mother sang proudly. "Charlie, I think our daughter is at the top of the list of every single bachelor in town."
"I'm not sure I like the sound of that." My father frowned.
"I said no Daddy. Mike was . . . really boring."
"That's my girl." My dad laughed, kissing my forehead. "You will know when you meet the right one."
"As long as he is rich," my mother added. "Very rich."
"Mom," I complained. What was her obsession about money, surly we had enough? Did we really need more?
"You know what your mother means. You need to be careful. Men firstly will want your wealth. A suitor already with money is safer. You will know he wants you for you."
"You do realise they are all boring snobs?" I added.
My father chuckled. "Not all of them, Bella. You obviously aren't looking hard enough."
"You are only twenty one anyway, darling. Just have fun. There will be plenty of time to settle down in a few years." My mother smiled, kissing my dad. That was my exit to leave.
oxoxoxoxo
"I can't believe you said that to him, Bella." Rose was laughing so hard her sides were hurting.
"I didn't mean to. It just came out."
"Emmet said Edward was furious with you."
"Oh God," I moaned, putting my head in my hands.
"He must fancy you to get that mad though."
"He hates me now. Trust me."
"He is working at The New Moon tonight with Emmet. Jacob will be at Twilight." Rose smiled wickedly at me.
"He won't even talk to me. I know he won't," I sighed.
"Bella look. I just want you to nail this guy, so you can move on with your life. You do realise he is probably not as good in bed as you imagine."
"The way he was devouring my neck last week would suggest otherwise." I moaned just thinking about his lips. God damn it, what was wrong with me. I was acting like an obsessed school girl, day dreaming about him all day. He was just a bar man after all – the most heavenly, sexy hot bar man I had ever seen. Damn!
"You need to bag Edward," Rose sniggered. "I think it might be your only hope."
"I think you might be right," I smiled, laughing.
oxoxoxoxo
The New Moon wasn't too different from Twilight, perhaps a little bigger as it had a large outside area. It was rammed with bodies as we entered.
"It's busy tonight," Rose shouted in my ear. I nodded. "We'll get a drink and go outside. The guys will be too busy to talk for a while."
We sat outside in the night air. Rose managed to death stare any loser that came a little too close to us. I never needed a body guard with Rose around.
"Can I get you guys a drink?" A girl called. I recognised her face, I just couldn't think from where.
"Yeah, can we have two double vodka and cokes please, Alice," Rose smiled, and then I remembered, it was Alice from Twilight, the night I slept with Jacob.
"Does Jacob know you are here and not at Twilight?" Alice smiled towards me.
"I wanted to come here to see Emmet, it's my fault. Bella wanted to go to Twilight," Rose interjected. "What can I say? She is such a good friend?"
"Did you want me to tell Emmet you are here?"
"That would be great. I haven't seen him yet," Rose beamed.
"He is changing all the barrels with Edward." My heart skipped just at the sound of his name. "I will get Emmet to bring the drinks over to you." Alice danced off into the crowd of people.
"She seems nice," I replied.
"Alice is Edward's sister."
"Is she?" I asked thoughtful.
"She is dating Jasper. He plays the bass in Edward's band." How did Rose know so much? She was clearly spending a lot more time with Emmet than she had said.
"You seem to know a lot about Emmet's friends," I smiled at her.
"Bella, Emmet is so amazing. I just can't explain it."
"I'm happy for you."
"I wish you could find someone, Bella. I really do." Just as Rose spoke, Edward came into view. He was in a black shirt tonight, his hair still that sexy disarray. I was drooling, watching him clear a table not too far from us. "Just not him Bella," Rose whispered in my ear. "You have got to stop looking at him like that."
"Like what?" I complained.
"Like he is the only reason you breathe anymore." I didn't even realise that was what I looked like. I only wanted to have sex with the guy. I was sure of it. "You need to get a hold of yourself, otherwise when you do bag him, he will break your heart when you realise you can't keep him."
"I just want a shag Rose!" I yelled, wishing I hadn't as Edward stood behind me. Crap!
"Are you finished with those empties?" He asked unattached, leaning over me. He was still seriously pissed, and had no idea just how sexy he looked.
"Yeah," I whispered not knowing what to say. Rose was encouraging me to say something, hitting my leg under the table. "Edward, about the other night," I finally said just as he was about to leave.
"Bella, I'm really not interested." With that he walked off.
"Well, that went well," Rose giggled.
"I told you, he hates me."
"I still think he wants to fuck you." Rose added. "Shame you had to sleep with Jacob. This would have been a lot easier."
"You told me to sleep with Jacob," I glared.
"If I told you to jump off a cliff, would you?"
"No," I replied annoyed.
"Then don't blame me when I am trying to help you."
"Drinks for the most beautiful woman in the world," Emmet appeared. "I can't believe you came across town to see me." Emmett kissed Rose softly. "Are you going to hang around until I finish work?"
"Sure," Rose breathed against his jaw. "Bella is trying to apologise to Edward, but he won't even speak to her."
"Do you blame him?" Emmet laughed looking at me. "Sorry Bella, but offering to pay him won't get you into his pants." I wanted to ask what would, but really didn't want to put my big mouth in it again. "Edward isn't how he looks on the outside. The guy has feelings and you really offended them."
"I know I have done wrong. I just want to explain."
"Edward doesn't give second chances. Move on, he has." Emmet smiled sadly at me as he put the drinks down. "He already has someone lined up to take home tonight. She has been after him for weeks."
I could feel my whole body rupture with each word that Emmet spoke. I really had blown it big style with Edward.
"Emmet there must be some way. I mean this is Edward. He sleeps with anything." Rose butted in just before he walked away. "No offence Bella." She grinned towards me.
"He is stubborn and pissed off. It's not a good mix. Bella, you should just let off your steam with Jacob. He is crazy about you. Edward never goes back to a woman, especially one who has offended him. He has too much choice." I just nodded sadly.
"There must be a way." Rose was thoughtful sipping her drink.
"Just leave it, Rose. I am not going to beg," I sighed. "Maybe Emmet is right. I mean Jacob Black is sort of hot and crazy about me - apparently."
"Can you forget Edward just like that?"
"He has me." I sighed. "I am the daughter of Charlie Swan. I am not going to beg. He may be utterly beautiful and have the body to die for, but it's his loss. I think I will just have some fun with Jacob Black instead. I'm sick of this stupid game when I can't win anything."
"You really are spoilt Bella," Rose laughed. She did have a point.
"I just hate to wait for anything and Jacob is already willing. I mean with Edward I would have had one night if I was lucky. I guess with Jacob, I can have as many as I want."
"I do think it would be safer." I grabbed my phone from my bag. "Who are you calling?"
"Jacob," I smiled as he answered his phone. . . . .
Jacob was going to come and get me once he had finished at Twilight, so I drank to kill the time and to quench the fire inside me. Edward had a funny way of hating me. He kept popping up all night. I swear he was doing it on purpose just to annoy me. Collecting glasses off ourthe table, coming back to wipe it down. Clearing tables around us that Alice had just done, it was weird, but not once did he look at me.
I walked over to the rest room, realising I had defiantly had too much to drink as I began to stumble in my four inch heels. If I hit the ground it was really going to hurt.
"Careful, Bella," Edward muttered, grabbing my waist from behind. I could feel his breath against my neck as his hands dug into my waist almost painfully, but erotic at the same time. "Maybe you should stop drinking," he chuckled.
"Maybe you should keep your hands to yourself." I spat back angry, trying to pull away.
"Says the girl who was offering to pay me for sex last week, I had the feeling you wanted my hands on you?"
"You are such an ass hole." I yelled pulling free of his hold, charging into the ladies room. I was bright red with anger when I noticed myself in the mirror. Edward had this control over me which I knew was wrong. I was falling into a deep trap, knowing that I may possibly never be set free.
I had counted to about fifty by the time I had calmed down, a familiar face walked into the rest room.
"Bella Swan is that you?"
"Tanya," I smiled falsely. I hated this girl. She was so up her own ass because she was rich. I mean, I was rich, but I didn't go around throwing my money around like her. Well, not usually that is. Most people had no idea who I was and I liked it that way. I just wanted to be normal.
"How long has it been? I didn't see you at the grand hotel last month for the charity event. We auctioned a trip to Hawaii you rich awards last month"
"I didn't go." I was trying to fight back a yawn.
"I heard Mike Newton is after you. Well done sSweetie. He has to be worth over a billion."
"What brings you to this side of town? I mean isn't The New Moon a little down market for you?" I laughed. I had only ever seen Tanya at high class events.
"Trust me, it is, but have you seen the bar man out there." Tanya swooned. "My friend told me about him last month, but I just had to see for myself. Edward doesn't disappoint. I'm sure he won't tonight either. It's taken me weeks to grab him."
My heart sank. "You are going home with Edward?" I whispered. The bitch, if I hated her before it was nothing to how I felt about her now.
"Do I detect a green eyed monster?" Tanya laughed. "Don't worry. He will be free again tomorrow. I hear you never get seconds with him. Bless Edward, trying to keep all us women happy."
"He isn't a piece of meat Tanya." I almost yelled.
"Easy, Bella, I will leave him in one piece . . . maybe." Tanya chuckled as she walked off.
So Edward would quite happily take Tanya home when she really did see him as a toy. Edward had some serious double standards.
I should forget him, what was the point. He was far too busy shagging his way through the entire female population. I should just leave him to it.
I looked at my watch. It was almost 2am. Jacob would be collecting me soon so I re touched my make up and walked back into the club with my head held high. At least I would get some tonight.
"Bella," I rolled my eyes. God damn Edward, why wouldn't he just leave me alone?
"What?" I turned to glare at him.
"Jacob is waiting for you by the main bar." He replied unattached. The pissed off Edward was back.
"Oh . . . Thank you," I smirked. "I'm going back to his tonight." Why was I being such a bitch? Well, he had seriously pissed me off. I mean Tanya, was he serious?
"Does it look like I care?" Edward glared back.
"Be careful with Tanya, Edward. She is a little insane." I whispered, beginning to strut off to the bar, but Edward grabbed my arm.
"Why would you care Bella?" Edward's voice was soft as he searched my eyes.
"I don't. I am just telling you to be careful. I have known her for years."
"I think I will be okay. Tanya didn't offer to pay me."
"I'm sorry about that. I don't know what more I can say." I sighed, pulling away. "I have to go, Jacob is waiting." Edward was still holding my arm. "At least he wants me." I whispered pulling myself free.
"Bella," Edward was in turmoil looking at me. I needed to end this. I was tired of the games. Getting laid should not be this difficult.
"Leave it, Edward. I am going home with Jacob. It's better for both of us. You and I is a really bad idea. I can see that now." I smiled at him and he nodded. "See you around."
Jacob was waiting by the bar. As his eyes caught mine, he beamed at me. "Aren't you a vision," Jacob muttered kissing my cheek.
"Hi," I smiled. "I just need to tell Rose I am leaving."
"She has gone with Emmet already. We have closed up, haven't you noticed? It's only me and Edward left?" I actually hadn't, but as I looked around I realised I must have been in the rest room longer than I thought.
"Oh okay," I smiled thinking if this really was the best idea. I was clearly only doing this to annoy Edward.
"Bella are you okay?" Jacob asked touching my shoulder. I was about to ask if he could take me home instead, when Jacob started to laugh. "Edward, take your girl home. I want to close up."
I turned to see Tanya pinned up against the wall with her legs wrapped around Edward, while he was kissing her fiercely. "Sorry Jake," Edward smirked taking Tanya's hand in his. "We'll leave now."
So Edward hadn't listened to me, but then why should he.
"Bye Bella," Tanya winked as she walked passed me. I was speechless as I watched Edward turn to look at me. Did I see sorrow or hate? I really wasn't too sure.
"Don't be late in the morning, Edward. You know you have a sound check at nine," Jacob called.
"Am I ever late, Jake?" Edward teased.
"YES," Jacob yelled, as Tanya and Edward disappeared out of the club. "So are you ready?" Jacob turned pulling me into his warm arms and it did feel kind of nice. "I want to make love to you tonight, Bella. Is that okay?" Jacob murmured against my neck.
"What are you waiting for then?" I smiled, pressing my lips against his. My body burned as I imagined Edward kissing me as he had Tanya. My hands were in Jacob's hair pulling him into me urgently. I couldn't control myself. Jacob's hands gripped my ass firmly, lifting me up onto the bar without so much as breaking our kiss. I was moaning into his mouth just at the feel of his hands going further up my body. His hands slowly unzipped my dress. He cupped my black lace cover breasts as they became exposed. This was what I wanted. Thank God for Jacob Black.
"I need to get you home now." Jacob muttered kissing my neck.
"Why don't you take me here first and we can carry on at yours later?" I smouldered, beginning to undo his shirt.
"Fuck Bella, you are too hot to handle." He pushed himself in between my legs. I had to giggle. This guy really wanted me, badly. Jacob began to attack my neck. I closed my eyes enjoying the sensation, when I opened them again all I saw was a pair of green eyes watching.
"Jacob," I whispered, covering up, nodding in Edward's direction.
"Sorry Jake," Edward's eyes never left mine, "I forgot my keys."
"Hurry up and get them then," Jacob yelled. He was pissed we had been interrupted. Edward rushed getting his keys, turning to look at me one last time. God damn, he was beautiful. "Edward, lock the door on your way out please. I don't want to be disturbed again," Jacob smiled teasing his hand up my leg.
"Sure thing boss," Edward replied looking at me. I couldn't understand his face.
"Edward," Jacob complained. "Do you mind, I am kind of busy here?" Edward snapped out of his daze and left quickly. I could hear the door lock and finally Jacob and I were alone.
"Finally," Jacob smiled quickly pulling the dress from my body. "God, you are beautiful." Jacob muttered running his hands over my black lace underwear. "I don't want to fuck you on the bar." He smiled picking me up, carrying me to one of the booths. "You are amazing. When I get you home I want to make slow love to you all night." He muttered as he kissed me passionately. I moaned into his touch, closing my eyes, only seeing green emerald eyes looking back at me. I think I may have been losing my mind, but with every touch Jacob made all I could see was – Edward.
Don't forget to review, they make my day!
