Sinful Dancer
Chapter 4: Working Girl
I woke up.
But as I notice the angel sleeping next to me, I realize I was still asleep; dreaming no less. But a quick movement of her small body touches my chest and a touch like that is too unique to dream it. The small angel yawns quietly, batting her eyes so she could see clearer. She looked at me and smiles after a few moments her eyes opened wide as if, she had seen a monster, a beast no less.
"I am so sorry," she yells over her shoulders as she stands up and starts to leave. Before seeing that creature leave, I spoke before she exited the bedroom.
"Wait, Bella," I said. She turned back with faint smile.
She nodded as if she answered a question, but it was a sign for me to go on. I moved to the edge of the bed and reached her small hand, which fitted perfectly into mine. She rolled her eyes.
"Yes, I was wondering if you would like dinner tonight." I asked at that moment, Bella's eyes widen in surprise. What was she expecting? I wondered when her phone rang.
She answers without considering my feelings or even my presence.
"Hi, Honey! Oh my goodness. How is the wedding coming along? I have to be the most beautiful woman in that place!" she exclaim. Was she getting married?
She looked at me and gave me a face full of guilt and then she studied the unmade, rumble bed. I hung my head in disappointed and she kept listening to her fiancée.
"Oh, Felix I am so happy. But remember if I see her unhappy that day I will kick your ass for it. Send the invitations. Alice and I are ready to take off as you tell me- oh September 13? You didn't! - Awe, so the cake will say Happy Birthday? - I am happy to hear that, I am pleased. - Alright, talk to you soon, send my love to Jane, she deserves it. – Bye" she finally hung up.
"Are you getting married?" I forced the words.
"No! Hell no!" she laughed. "My friend Felix and her lovely bride Jane are," She said as I let out a sigh of relief.
"I better go, Alice won't like that I slept with a boy," she said leaving the door open.
"WAIT!" I shouted and she abruptly stopped. She turned around and her brown eyes met my gaze.
"Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" I asked.
"I can't sorry. Work," she answered leaving me to remember our meetings.
As I tossed and turned in my bed, trying to get Bella out of my mind I got up to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of cold milk. I drank it and went to watch television for awhile. It was ten or eleven. I wasn't quite sure.
I wanted someone to relieve the instant problem I got since I started thinking of her, maybe if I watched Golden Years, it would disappeared and I was right. As the first old lady comes into screen my problem flew away. I just hope Bella's face wouldn't cross my mind again.
Bella was beautiful. But she had an attitude that I wasn't sure if it was good or not. When I first saw her at the club back at the States, she had dazzle me with her skirt, corset and the coat that hugged her curves so well and her smile, which is what, had won me over.
When the night went on; I watched her as she dance on stage and I was like a lost puppy who had found his master. She was beautiful as she moved and went into her own world she no one could touch her or bother her. With all the glitter in her body it was enough to bring attention from other male clients. I was mad, as if she were my girlfriend or something. A girlfriend would be a far idea, since I didn't have girlfriends; I had lady friends that did my bidding.
Jasper had his eyes locked on a girl who I didn't see yet.
As her boss introduce her and telling the crowd she was leaving and this was her last night. I couldn't help but be disappointed; this girl who has brought my undying attention was no longer in distance for me to see her. She would go, God knows where, and I would never see her again.
When she started dancing alone on stage as her "exclusive" as she said, she said something about lap-dances which obviously brought my attention to her words.
She said a lucky fella had caught her eye. I couldn't help but to wish to be that guy. She kept her eyes on me as if she found something interesting in me too. I was normal so nothing about me, except my hair, was attractive or interesting.
No one came on stage, instantly I was mad at the idiot who turned down this beautiful girl's lap dance. I had to beat this guy up, if I ever saw him. Bella bent down to reach my face.
"Are you coming up or not?" she said and my head snapped slightly as if my lips were to attack hers.
I gulped and went on stage. I got to beat myself after this, for leaving her waiting. I thought as I sat down and Bella handle the microphone to her boss.
The DJ had put "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails. This honestly was a perfect song for what she was doing. As her ass grasped my pants, the slow yet seductive movements made me have an instant problem (if you know what I mean). She laughed and I hoped to go it was because of my face. She wrapped her arms around me so her movements could be closer and better. She didn't need practice she already knew who to make a man happy. I envied her boyfriend or hated her ex-boyfriend, because I know they didn't know who to appreciate such beauty. Honestly I wanted to give her, what others obviously couldn't.
Her gaze was glued to mine and when I gave her a smile to make her know I was happy, she suddenly fell to the floor. Her eyes were still locked on mine, but she was intrigue that much I knew.
I said I was lucky for such dance and boy was I! Even though she was moving away, I knew I was the last man who she would give a lap dance before she went somewhere else.
She presented Alice to Jasper, I instantly knew that was the girl he had his eyes glued to the whole night. I knew also that Bella came only to present those two. Jasper asked her to dance and Bella allowed one dance, they had to get up early for something.
I wanted to dance with her, but she decline by saying something can't be left for Alice to do. I couldn't help but, to laugh. I asked her if I was ever going to see her again and she answered what I semi-hope she would. She said 'Maybe', for me that meant that no matter where she was she would look for me or something. That I intrigue enough for her to me slightly interested in me. Edward Cullen.
As Jasper and I came back from New York, because we had school in a few weeks and we had to prepare ourselves for the school year, plus my father only allowed me to go out in a certain amount of time in certain times of year.
When I came back Tanya was waiting in front of our apartment, even thought I was tired. I was sad that I wasn't able to see Bella when Jasper had gotten lucky with Pixie Girl.
Tanya was ready to throw herself to me, so I let her. Jasper got out quickly but we were already in business, he groans and leaves.
"Jasper?" a familiar voice says.
"Jasper!" this time after hearing the same voice when we went to her apartment, it was a voice hard to forger. ALICE! So if Alice was here so must be Bella. I was happy. I pushed Tanya away. Because Bella could be here, so I was more than happy to know the answer. Tanya would still be here when I come back.
I grabbed one of the sheets and wrapped it around me.
When I opened the door, Bella was in front of me. Her eyes locked on my body for longer than necessary but, I certainly did not mind.
"See something you like?" I said. I couldn't help but to regret the tone I used. But this was Edward Cullen, Bella was just lucky to have found me not the other way around.
She said that not anymore, after several pleading to join me, in dinner, sex with Tanya (which I regret after I offered…such wrong combination), I gave up. She wasn't happy, but every woman I knew wanted whatever I offered her! Why didn't Bella?
She kicked me out of her apartment which made me extremely sad/mad.
I spent the rest of the day thinking about her, after I kicked frustrated and mad Tanya out. I actually like the way she was when she gets angry…not so sure at this moment why.
I never did much that Sunday.
Dad had asked me to come to school for some reason. Bella did not hunt my mind anymore…than usual.
"Edward" my dad called from his office. I came strolling in as if I didn't have a care in the world.
"Hello, dad" I went to him and gave him a one-arm hug. I sat down in the seat to hear whatever was coming my way.
"There is a new student coming by today. She is extraordinary in what she does. She writes scripts and for the application she had to submit one. After various people of the board read hers, they didn't think twice about accepting her. You have been one credit short from graduating. And I suggest you get acquainted with her, so that both of you could work together. She writes the same thing you produce so, it will be easier.
She is in the waiting room. I will get some copies and come right back. Please be nice to her…she might be better than you and we don't want to lose that, got it?" he said and I nodded. He left.
A few moments later the door opened and closed quickly. Marge must have let in one of the students.
I turned around and I couldn't believe my eyes and neither did her as her eyes widen in surprise mixed with horror.
As I finished thinking of how I got to know Bella from the very beginning. I got up and went back to bed. I drifted to a very short dream that had only Jaws and the girl who gets kills at the start was Tanya. I was on the beach laughing as I witness the bloody scene.
I woke up again and I decided to stare at the ceiling until some miracle occurred and made me go back to sleep.
I stood up and went to the front door, before opening, for God knows what reason, I looked for the clock that told me it has five past midnight.
When I did open the door, I saw Bella with her arms crossed and her eyes filled with confusion. I knew she was asking herself the same thing I was. What the hell was she doing here? But before I let the better more smart self of me; I took her into my arms and kissed her. She was lusting, probably because I beat up her date last night. He wasn't right for her, she was innocent she couldn't know this. I wrapped the delicate legs around me. But even if I knew she needed to be 'taken care of' I knew most of all she was tired.
As we reached the bed, she stops kissing me and went out like a feather. She must have thought that she fainted, but it was obvious she couldn't sleep like me. I didn't mind…which was weird for me but, I just pulled her closer to me and whiff her hair that small strawberries to me. She was soft like a feather and her chestnut hair was wavy covering her face. Her arms instantly wrapped themselves against my chest and I stared at the ceiling. I convince myself I was dreaming, such perfection like her voice wasn't heard or her snarky comebacks were there to be heard. So I must be dreaming the Bella, I knew back in the States. I was alright with that, since that was all I was going to get from being close to Bella.
I had to leave that morning to work. I always work as an intern in some producing house or with my brother Emmet in the Audi dealership.
At the producing house, we were working on a new project which features Robert Patterson, some guy that appeared in Harry Potter and Emily De Ravin which was beautiful on and off screen and honestly I like her better in Lost.
I drove and found a new Audi parked in visitors parking.
"Hey, Ed" Jonathan shouted from the hallway as I entered the building. I waved back.
I saw Margaret, our receptionist, clicking something on the computer. I cough to get her attention and as her eyes met my gaze I smirk, she looked down in disappointment. She was getting married, so I understood her.
"Coffee" I gave her a cup which I bought before coming in. I was an intern, I still had a job to do other than interrupting meeting which I had no power or word over, but thankfully everyone liked Edward Cullen's ideas, except Jacob which was jealous he wasn't getting more attention than the new intern.
I entered into the conference room to set up before the meeting started. They told me to put one extra for a new employee, they said she had what it takes but she would be a part-time employee as a screenwriter consultant until she finished her masters. But since she was gifted they couldn't deny her a position, they knew they had to have her.
I prepared everything. It was ten o'clock time for the meeting to start. Everyone from Kate, Jonathan, Caius and Jenny came in. Only Aro and the new girl were left.
"Hi, Edward" Jenny purred in my ear, which only made me slight uncomfortable, because we were in the work place. I didn't like relationships with people you work with.
Aro entered and…
Bella came right behind him. I was drinking my cup of coffee so when I saw her I almost choked. Caius that was closest to me pats me hard in the back so I could breathe again.
She notices me, but made no sign that she knew me at all. She was professional and apparently she wasn't going to let anyone come in her way.
"Good Morning" Aro said. Everyone gave him the same greeting.
"Today we have a new addiction- this is Isabella Swan" he introduced her. The door flew opened and Jacob came in.
"Sorry" he muttered. I saw Aro rolled his eyes but kept the meeting going.
"Like I was saying, before getting interrupted" he shot a glance at Jacob. I hid my smile.
"This is Isabella, she is our temp screenwriter consultant, her work will be judge and after she finish her master's at the university we shall decide if we keep her or not. She will be working on our next project, which brings me to our second good news" he said as his eyes fell on me.
"Edward, you will be working under Isabella's command. You can learn a lot from her and you will help her in the producing of the project so that she can know what we already have planned" he said, I nodded. But the only thing that was truly in my mind was. Working FOR Bella? Hell no! I wasn't against being under her but, I had so much knowledge and she didn't. I been working here over six months and now she come and steals what could've been my promotion, of course, the position was a screenwriter not a producer.
When Aro finished the meeting, that included the new movie called "Somewhere between here and there" and that we had to shorten the title because it was too long. I propose "Here and There" and they liked it, even Bella. I explain it gave the same feeling as the long title and something extra of curiosity as what is going to happen. It also included a few details of the small project Bella and I will be working on. When Bella opened her mouth I was baffle. She really knew what she was doing. I think the entire staff liked…no loved her ideas. They were fresh and funny. Aro had informed that her job was part-time because that was enough to study and have a social life and it was fair since she was willing to sacrifice if more time was needed.
We also laughed at a few lame jokes Jacob throw at us, even if I hated the guy. I got to give him, that he was funny, well sometimes.
We exit the room and Aro called me to go to his office.
"Edward, Isabella is a great screenwriter does not underestimate her knowledge. I know you Edward, when I told you; you would be working for her. I knew it made you unhappy. But trust me when I say this. She will open great doors for both of you." He said and told me that that was all.
I left and Bella was already making her comfortable in her new office.
I came by her small cubicle and put my arms above the wall.
"Hello, Edward. It was a nice surprise to find you here" she said, looking for something.
"Yes, I can say the same here" I said to her, while she took out her laptop and connected it.
"So, now since we are working together, we should write notes first and then infuse them to the plot and time sequence needed, of course I need to know the plot beforehand."
"You will have it by the desk in no time" I said with a big smile, she caught the smile but made no sign it had done any affect whatsoever. Tough cookie, uh?
Bella and I working together, now that was something I was looking forward to.
I wonder how will these two work together...they are at home, school and now work. They are everywhere the other goes. But maybe...not everywhere.
Hope you liked it! Click on fav or alert or review, either one is alright. If you click on all of them, well you just made my day!
