We walked out into the cool night air. It felt good on my over-heated skin. "You know I just noticed, your eyes match my clothes," God did I really just say that? Wow how drunk am I? he just started laughing. I just frowned. "I'm sorry it's just I never really noticed that. I'm really sorry I didn't mean to laugh it was more cute than funny if that makes you feel better," Edward said with that crooked smile of his.

Looking at the ground I retorted, "I'm glad I'm entertaining to you." I looked up and saw someone I wish I hadn't, I saw my assistant manager walking towards us. Oh NO! Not NOW!! He CAN'T FIND OUT NOW!! I JUST MET HIM!!

EPOV

We were enjoying the cool summer air so much. I couldn't help but laugh when she said my eyes matched her clothes. It was just too cute. I was really enjoying her company, its been a long time since I enjoyed another persons company so much. She asked me about my job and I told her about being a doctor who specialized in neonatal care.

Bella looked to the ground after I told her about my job, but just as I was about to ask her about her job, a look of pure horror appeared on her face as she looked up. I turned to see a women with curly red hair headed in our direction.

"There you are, Bella! I've been looking for you! We've got a HUGE problem." "What is it, Victoria?" Bella asked in a frustrated tone. "Well we're having a problem with a few of the members. They umm…well the are trying to put what looks to be GHB in other guests drinks." "WHAT?! How? And how did you find this out?" "Well a few of the guests alerted me to it and then I went back and checked the cameras to find out who they were." Victoria replied. Why was this women coming to Bella for all this? Wasn't it the owners job or the managers job or something like that? "Okay, Victoria, go have James get them and put them in the back office.

Why was this women asking Bella for help with guest problems? It just seemed too strange. I followed both Bella and Victoria through the dance floor to the back room. "So gentlemen, I hear you've been up to now good…yet again." I heard Bella question the two men sitting in front of a desk. "Well I saw Alex here trying to put what looked to be a drug in some of the other customers drinks!" One of the men answered. "Now, Sean, how do you know that's what Alex was attempting to put in other people's drinks?" "When you work around drugs as much as I do, you know how people act when they are trying to be inconspicuous." "And what exactly do you do, Sean.?" Bella asked the man I now knew to be Sean. "I work in Narcotics. You pick up on certain behaviors after the first year or two." "HEY! I was MOT tryim to amthng!" the man named Alex replied with a slight slur. Cleary, he was a bit drunk.

"Do you see why I went after him? He was trying to take advantage of innocent people! Do you really want to lose the high reputation your club has, Miss Swan?" "No I don't Alex but that was no reason for you two to get into a fight that could have hurt many people." WAIT! Did he just say her club? Bella owns this place? No I must have misunderstood what he said. Maybe he was talking to Victoria and I thought he said Bella. Yeah, that must be it. There's no way I heard him say Bella owns LAVA. "Well thank you very much for your help Sean and as for you Alex, your membership is now suspended. I will talk with the managers tomorrow to see how long and if you will be able to come back here."

I just stood there, frozen. What the hell just happened? I couldn't fathom what just happened in the back office of the club. "Bella, do you mind if I talk to you a minute?" She just nodded. "Um…do you mind if it's in private?" "Victoria, James, would you mind giving us a moment? Please escort Alex out and once again, thank you Sean." With that everyone cleared out of the back office. "Bella, do you mind telling me what just happened here? I could have sworn I heard Sean say that this is your club but that can't be right can it? You don't own LAVA… do you?" I asked her and I saw as she nervously bit her bottom lip. "Well, Edward, yes I do own the club. That's why my assistant manager, Victoria, came to me to deal with the problem. I'm sorry you had to find out this way, especially since we just met.
