Chapter 4- Maneater- Nelly Furtado
I woke up Saturday morning to my pixie jumping up and down by my closet pulling clothes out and throwing them all around my room. I have no idea why I agreed to letting each lady pick my clothing one day for my birthday weekend.
"Rose, do you have Bella's Power Rangers tee?" Alice looks at me with a smirk.
Rose comes running into the room. "You are lucky you are limping today or I would have never given it back to you." She throws it at me and storms out of the room. I smile and start bouncing up and down. Last night we had a gambling night won the right to take one article of clothing from my closet until someone else asked for it to be given back to me. No one had ever asked for it back for me.
Alice just gave me my best gift so far… well besides the amazing kisses from Edward the sex god. Everyone hated that shirt but they knew I loved it when I was having a bad day. Alice was trying to get on my good side when we went shopping today…that little conniving pixie…she thinks she can make me feel good so I will say yes to whatever she shows me and not protest a little.
"Knock, knock ladies…" Esme was at the door with a tray of food. "I thought you monkeys may need some bread this morning before you head out for shopping." MMM…monkey bread…I wonder if the pixie begged Esme to make it. "I am going to stop by Carlisle's to get the brace for you." Is Esme blushing?
"Esme and Carlisle sitting in a tree…" Alice starts to jump up and down in a circle around Esme.
"K.I.S.S.I.N.G." Rose and Alice finish it out as rose enters in the room dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.
"Ladies, we haven't even kissed yet. I am not sure I am ready to start again." Esme says as she puts the plate of food on my bed and then huffs out of the bedroom.
"Esme, wait up please." I start to get off my bed and fall. Yeah my ankle hurts like hell this morning. Rose sees me and gives me a hand to help me walk myself to Esme's door. I knock on the door. "Esme may I please come in?"
"It's unlocked." A timid voice from inside replies back.
I open the door and head in. "Esme, I have known you the shortest amount of time but I know one thing is certain." She looks up at me and realizes why I am still at the door and comes over to help me to her bed. "You are an amazing woman. You look after us three girls like we were your own daughters."
"I don't know if he would ever feel the same way I do for him. I woke up from my dreams and they weren't bad. This is the first time since my ex-husband first started to beat me. They were of Carlisle and me. What if he doesn't want to have kids?" She looks at me hoping I can answer that for her.
"Esme, you have always been a mother hen and from what I get of Carlisle in his interaction with all of us, he would be perfect for you. He would never hurt you like your ex. I am sure of one thing; give him a chance. He only had eyes for you the whole time he was over here. You know I didn't even get to get Edward's number? So that man must like you enough to want to see you again." I placed my arms around her shoulders and gave her a hug. "If he is dumb enough to let you slip through his fingers then he has made the biggest mistake he ever could make."
"Thanks, Bella. I wish your parents were still around to see what a kind and caring lady you have turned into." She hugs me tighter. "I hope that you find the perfect guy for you also. I have no doubt that Edward wants to see you again. The other guys were shocked when he told them that he would be there tonight to help out." I can feel myself grin and start to smile.
"BELLA." The pixie is standing out in the hallway screaming. "Get your ass out here-it's time to go shopping." Esme looks at me and just starts laughing. She then gives me her hand and helps me out to the hallway.
By the time we found "The Perfect Boots", in Alice's words, it was time to eat lunch. Esme had called to meet us and to drop off the brace and medicine she got from the doc. Esme was bouncing up and down in her seat by the time we got to the table.
"Ladies, I know you were planning on looking for Bella a new outfit for tonight." Esme stated and then looked down at her lap. "Canyouhelpmefindafirstdatedress?" She stated quietly.
"Oh…" Alice said.
"My…" I said.
"God." Rose screamed.
Esme told us about how Carlisle asked her to go out for dinner and a movie then maybe meeting up with all of us at the bar if she wanted to. The girls agreed to find her the perfect dress. Now that I had my brace on we were able to get our shopping done a lot quicker. I didn't have to have Alice or Rose walking right next to me.
The girls found a dress that made Esme look like she just stepped out from the 1950's. She was gorgeous. It was nice to have all the attention off of me for a bit. As soon as they finished finding her accessories they all went into "Project: Bella Needs New Outfit."
They ended up on deciding on a pair of super low-rise blue jeans that hugged every single curve up top and then flared at my knees. The top they found was a simple low v-neck white tee. I looked at them like they were crazy. "Are you all hiding something from me?"
"Silly Bella," Alice started to giggle, "Tonight is a highlighter party at Jane's." Great…last time I went to one of these I had "I give good head" written on the back of my top and I wasn't able to see it until I took the shirt off.
After getting my clothes we went and got all kind of glow jewelry for tonight to match our outfits. We started to leave the mall when all of a sudden. "Bella, Bella, Bella." The pixie started jumping up and down tugging on my hand.
"What?" I looked at her annoyed. What will it be now…She gets this one night only to dress me up.
"Will you let me do your makeup tonight?" she looked at me with her puppy dog eyes….Great.
"I told you ladies you got to pick everything I wore today so that includes make-up and everything else I wear down to the underwear please God tell me you have that and a bra picked out."
"I will be right back. I want to go get some make-up for tonight." Alice started to say. "I will meet you ladies in the food court for a Coke as soon as I am done."
Once we got home we all started to get ready. The girls blindfolded me as soon as I got out of the shower saying I was not allowed to see anything else that was going on me or they were doing to me until I was completely made over.
"Bella stand up its time to put your clothes on and yes I got you a bra and thong." Alice stated. "Now sit here and wait no peaking until we are back and have our clothes on."
God…They are taking forever…How much longer…
"Stand up girlie we have to put your finishing touches on." This time it was Rose's voice. "Now step with your right foot. Good now your left foot. Stand still." Rose was pulling something up my body but it didn't feel like the jeans I had picked out.
"Okay I think she is ready…Oh wait the boots." Alice screamed. I felt something hit the floor by my feet. "Sit down so we can put these on."
I sit back down on the bed. I feel each of the girls start to pull my shoes on. Hey these definitely do not feel right… they are not like the below the knee belts we got at the mall today.
"Give us your hands Bella so you can stand up and we can get a good look at you." Alice says. They grab hold of my hands and pull me up.
They turn me so I am facing away from my mirror. I feel them take the blindfold off. In front of me are both girls in their outfits. The pixie looks just like that she is in a neon ruffle skirt with a neon yellow tank top. She has a pair of black boots that hit just about her knees. The supermodel next to her has a black fitted skirt on with the same neon yellow tank top and knees that hit about the same place that Alice's did. They are both staring at me and asking me to turn around and look at their creation. I comply, I know if I don't they will force me to.
In the mirror I see a girl that I can hardly believe is me. I look just as hot as the pixie and supermodels I am next to. They have me in thigh high skin tight black leather boots. They have me in a pair of black shorts that cut off just below my ass cheeks. They have me in a bright pink tank top. I then notice that the girls have numbers on the back of their shirts with their man's names on the back. I turn around to look in the mirror. All I see is a number but my hair is in my way. I start to grab my hair to see if I have a name on mine also.
"Come on Bella we are going to be late. We have to get there at the right time for the perfect entrance." Alice and Rose are pulling me down the stairs… I wonder what else is on there that they wouldn't let me see.
Rose decided she was driving tonight. Alice called shot gun before we were even down the stairs. I have been sitting in the back of this car riding for them. Alice called and told someone we were just pulling up and to be ready for us.
The girls get out of the front and before I can open up the back door they are there to grab my hand and pull me out. Everyone in the line turns to look as I get out and the whole crowd is quiet. The bouncer sees us approaching and opens up the rope for us to just walk right in.
"Bella you remember how you always said you want to be the center of attention when you walk into a club well tonight is your night." Alice says to me and winks as her and Rose open the doors.
The music instantly changes and a spotlight is set on us. I am in the middle of Alice and Rose I look at them a little embarrassed and then I hear the one song that could make almost any girl walk into a room with a strut to knock them all dead.
Everybody look at me, me
I walk in the door you start screaming
Come on everybody whatcha here for?
We start walking down the stairs and across the floor. Everyone in the floor stops and turns to look at us.
Move your body around like a nympho
Everybody get your necks to crack around
All you crazy people come on jump around
Alice and Rose swing their hips and spin in a circle.
I want to see you all on your knees, knees
You either want to be with me, or be me!
I decide I might as well go with it and drop my ass to the floor and bring it back up. As soon as I am standing up again, I grab my girls' hands and we start to make our way through the crowd.
Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cards
make you fall real hard in love
She's a Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cards
Wish you never ever met her at all!
We tease guys on the way as we are going along. Then we start walking again when chorus is done.
And when she walks, she walks with passion
when she talks, she talks like she can handle it
when she asks for something, boy, she means it
even if you never ever seen it
everybody get your necks to crack around
all you crazy people come on jump around
you doing anything to keep her by your side
because she said she love you, love you long time!
As we get to the end of the song we have finally made every single guys jaw drop and every girl give us the evil eye for flirting with their man. At the bottom steps of the VIP lounge we were in last night Emmett, Jasper, and Edward are standing there with their mouths open and lust in their eyes.
Alice and Rose run to their men and give them a kiss that I have to turn away from it seems so personal to be watched by anyone. The then turn around so the guys can see their shirts and they start laughing.
"What does Bella have on her shirt?" All three guys ask at the same time.
"Just the number 13…Get it because I am so lucky." I state.
Alice starts to giggle…Oh no nothing good ever comes when she starts to giggle…. "Bella turn around and lift your hair up so the boys can see your shirt." She demands as Rose turns me around so my back is facing them.
"Alice did you think to ask Bella if she wanted my name on the back of her shirt?" A very familiar voice speaks.
"Edward you know Bella would love to have it after that kiss last night but she would never admit it so we just went with it." The pixie says as I feel the blush in my cheeks. Alice grabs Jasper and Rose grabs Emmett and takes them out to the dance floor for their clothed dance sexion…yes it's like dancing only more erotic.
"Bella, would you like to come sit down on me?" I turn around and look at Edward and raise my eyebrow to question him. "Oh wait I mean sit with me." He starts to blush.
The rest of the night we sat in the VIP room and watched the others dance or talked with them when they came up for a break. Esme and Carlisle showed up towards the end of the night. Esme still looked just as beautiful … but I could have swore her hair was smoothed perfectly back when she was picked up by him. I wonder what they have been doing.
I sat and talked with Edward and learned his favorite music… Debussy... His favorite color... Brown…His inspiration behind the name of the club... Jane was his niece who died when she was little and always loved to dance with Edward and have fun and begged when she got older that he took her to the hottest club in town so everyone would know her name…He was and still is a truly amazing person. I just wish I knew if he was interested in me.
After the girls brought me back from their routine potty break: going to the restroom, getting all the other girls out and locking the door, then using the restroom freshening up and chit chatting about the guys. Edward asked me if he could talk to me somewhere private. I asked him if he didn't mind us just sitting here since everyone else was dancing. He seemed fine with that and asked Seth and Quil to go give the other bartenders a break for a bit.
"Bella, I know that I only met you last night and I probably stepped over my boundaries by kissing you last night but I have to tell you this." He stopped looked into my eyes…Oh no he doesn't like me and wants to just be friends. "You are an amazing woman." Yes he only wants to be friends that's what all guys say, "and I would love to have a chance to get to know you even better. Would you please do me the honor of going out on a date with me.?"
Time for the let down…oh wait he just asked me out…hell yes… "Uhh…Uhh… Sure."
Before I could get anything else out he grabbed my hand and took me out to where everyone was and started to dance with me. He put his hands on my hips and we just started to move with the beat. I was getting tired and my foot was beginning to hurt again. The girls looked like they were having too much fun…I guess I can always call a cab.
"Edward…I am sorry to cut this short but my ankle is hurting some more and I am getting tired. Do you mind if we make plans tomorrow for our date so I can get home?" I had turned to face him. "I need to call a cab so I can leave."
"You will do no such thing. I will drive you home myself if you would allow me the pleasure." Edward asked.
"I guess as long as I am not a bother to you…" before I could even finish my sentence he was pulling me in for another amazing kiss… oh I could get lost in this…
Next thing I know I was being lifted off of my feet and spun onto Edward's back. He headed us towards the door. By the time we were out the door the valet had a car being pulled up and he handed Edward the keys. It was a red sports car. I just looked at it.
"I can't get in there I may ruin it." I looked at him.
He looked back at me and just started laughing. "I have never let anyone ride in Victoria with me and the first person I ask to ride in it with me is afraid of ruining it."
"I am glad you find me amusing." I huff as I head for the car trying to be angry about that time I find the only crack in the sidewalk and start to fall forward. Edward is there to catch me before I can fall to the ground.
"Just sit down everything will be alright I promise you." He gestures for me to sit in the passenger seat. He then walks around to the driver side and we head off.
When we get back to my apartment he helps me up the door and then after taking my pill he offered to help make sure I made it up the stairs safely. When we made it to my bedroom door, I turned around to say my goodbyes. Before I knew what was happening his lips were on mine again…Oh I will definitely have a good night with dreams of those kisses.
Suddenly the door flings open down stairs and we stop and look down the stairs to see Alice and Rose stumbling through the front door. Carlisle is helping Esme in also.
"I will call you tomorrow Bella. Please take care until then and try not to hurt yourself." He starts heading down the stairs
"Good bye Edward." I am left saying into the air.
That was the first night I dreamt of Edward my sex god.
Reviews on what you want to hear about in the future....Lemons? Returns of Ex's? How did the Girls meet? What is in Bella's past that could cause her to break down in the first couple of chapters?
Thanks for all the hits I am going to try having new chapters up once a week if possible. Please be patient.
