Chapter Four

"Where did you learn to dance like that?" Jacob asked me, finally putting his hands on my hips.

I laughed. "I was about to ask you the same thing."

He grinned cockily and tightened his grip a little. "Why? Like what you see?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

I smirked back. "You'll never no." I teased him back winking and swayed my hips dramatically.

"But seriously, you really know how to move." He sincerely complimented.

"Ten years of ballet and three years of various dance classes does that to you." I smiled.

"I volunteered as a hip hop instructor, as a favor to my friend a few years ago. Turns out it stuck with me."

We continued dancing until the song ended.

"Thanks for the dance." Jake smirked and winked before walking away.

Cocky bastard.

I rolled my eyes and turned back around to join Al and Rose.

They both rose their eyebrows at me in synchronization. I just shook my head at them and continued rolling my hips to the music.

They nodded and picked their rhythm back up.

A few minutes later the music started to slowly fade out.

"Good evening everyone!" Angela Webster said brightly. "We hope that everyone is having a wonderful time tonight here at Sophisticated Sin International at New York City!" She sounded very excited. I had a feeling she had a few drinks her self. Angela handles alcohol in her system about as well as I do, but she didn't let it on as much. After all she was the CEO of one of the biggest skyscraper companies. But then again this was one of the biggest events for SSI.

I listened to her introduction of the party and took some 'positive' notes for the paper. Though I wasn't a fashion fanatic, I did know and noted all the designer clothes everyone important was wearing…yeah overlooking my own will, living with Alice and Rose did make me a kick ass shopper.

Her closing to the intro left everyone yelling and excited.

"…So its to the up most importance to SSI for all of you to have a fabulous time tonight! All drinks are on us, and we have some fun activities planned for those of you that would kill for my pair of stilettos!"

Al and Rose beamed at that, and the party officially started in full blast.

The hall had crowds of people, but it wasn't nearly overwhelming, the hall might have been approximately the size of a football field. When the lights turned off and the colossal disco ball came down people were getting really pumped. The music started up in over heat.

I wanted to dance some more and enjoy the party, but decided to actually get some work done.

I drotted down more notes on the food quality…trust me that's pretty important, the VIP guest list, the smoky mist floating around, the totally fashionable atmosphere. I felt like I was in the middle of 'Sex and the City'.

Though I didn't have time for many parties anymore, even I could tell that this was definitely the one anyone would kill to get into. I could just imagine the enormous line of people trying to get in, outside the hall. The security must be having a ball tonight.

I looked over at the VIP lounge and saw Alice sitting with the other CEOs and all the other mumbo jumbo big shots.

My mouth fell wide open.

What the fuck?

She was talking to a really hot guy. He had blonde hair from what I could tell.

From looking at the way Al's eyes were sparkling and the hidden animation underneath her expressions, I could immediately tell that she liked this guy.

Well fucking done. Hot CEO of some big shot company.

From looking at the guy it looked like he was very amused by her dominating the entire conversation. So totally Alice.

I looked over from her to see who else was there and my closed mouth dropped to the floor again.

What the double fuck!

There was Rosalie not two feet away from Alice talking to another guy. Same story there. Hot guy. Rose definitely liked him…and he looked very interested in her.

I looked at my two best friends definitely hooking up with these important hot guys and smirked.

I was weary to continue to look over them.

My eyes stopped dead again.

Who else?

Damn. Why did he have to be a magnet for my eyes. It was like it would be painful for them to look away from him. But alas I managed when I saw the guy Rose was talking to say something in Edwards ear. He smiled and nodded at him.

The guy looked back at Rose and said something to her, grinning. She nodded back hysterically.

Oh my god. I wanted to beat her.

Edward extended his hand out to Rose and she shook it. Both of them exchanging a few words.

I take that back. No I didn't want to beat her. I wanted to give her a big sloppy kiss on her cheek!

She turned around after a second and looked around the place where I was sitting. When she spotted me, she smiled ear to ear and waved for me to come over to wear she was.

Yeah, like I was about to hesitate.

'Party like a Rock Star by the Shop Boyz' started right on cue when I started walking towards her. Nice timing. This is one of the most danceable songs in my opinion. I involuntarily swung my hips a bit to the beat.

When I made it to her, her grin had not died down.

She gave me a quick wink and introduced me to the guy she had been talking to.

"Bella, I wanted to introduce you to my new friend, Mr. Emmett Cullen."

Alice had finally broken out of her trance when she saw me.

"And this is Jasper Cullen." Alice said with a shit eating grin on her pixie face.

Emmett and Jasper both shook my hand.

"Its very nice to meet you Bella. I have to say Ms. Brandon, the trio of you are the most beautiful girls at the party tonight." He smiled at me.

I felt the blush swirl in my cheeks again.

"Can't argue with that." The one named Emmett said not breaking eye contact from Rose.

Wow.

"And this is our brother Ed-" Jasper started to say but was cut off when McSteamy finished for him.

"Edward Cullen, yes we've met already." He said smiling.

"You seem to be well acquainted with everyone here, Ms. Swan." He rose his eyebrows and his eyes darted to the bar and back so fast that I wasn't sure if I had imagined it.

"Its Bella." I finally got out. "I'm not really that acquainted. Actually I only really know Alice, Rose and a handful of people here." I said breaking the eye contact and looking around the hall again.

His expression seemed confused for a second than turned polite again. "Oh?" Alice and Rose had both restarted their conversation with the boys again, so I was basically alone…making small talk with McSteamy!

"Don't you work for Angela?"

"Well no, I don't work for SSI." I told him.

His expression seemed to be very well controlled…but like something was boiling right underneath the mask.

"Well," I shifted to my other foot uncomfortably. "I'm here with them," I nodded my head towards my completely enthralled best friends. "I'm also writing an article for my company about tonight's party." I told him truthfully.

"Oh, I see. And how is that going?" From what I could tell he looked interested in what I was going to say.

What the hell? Did I just imagine his hostility before? Okay yeah he was nice…kind of. But it was easy to tell it was a 'fake' nice. You know those people, that are overly sweet towards you to your face…but its just so fake. Its funny that they actually think your buying their bullshit.

Well McSteamy wasn't that bad, but he did seem fake nice. I had thought then that he didn't like me at all but now he seemed genuinely polite.

Well okay…hell I was talking to him and he's being nice. I'll take it.

"Great, really great. Everyone seems to be having a great time." I winced internally. How many times did I have to say great? God I can't even talk to him.

I was fine with that and I would be fine with just staring at him in a non creeper way without any need for talking.

He cracked a very genuine crooked smile and my heart skipped a beat.

Wow…okay so I might have even gone through creeper methods to see that smile again. So beautiful.

He had perfectly straight pearly white teeth. Definitely a turn on.

"Yes, well that's great." He chuckled once. Such a beautiful sound. Yup. That decided it. Definitely don't mind being a stalker to hear that sound again.

Alice and Rose brought me out of my daze when they both made their way out of the lounge with the boys and headed to where everyone was dancing.

Wow that didn't take long.

When I looked back at Edward, it dawned on me. Holy hell. Now we really were alone.

How the hell did that happen?
