Chapter Six part 2

EPOV

"Do you want my number?" I didn't like the way Mike looked at her, like she was something to eat.

"Sure, I'll just enter it into my phone!"

She sounded too pleased about this loser hitting on her. I was furious, was this the drinking? Or was she actually interested? Bella pulled an outdated, brick of a phone out of her bag and started pressing buttons.

"Okay, let me have it" she smiled at Mike patiently.

I glowered at him stunned by his look of confusion.

"Umm…Bella that is a TV remote".

I doubled over laughing.

Bella frowned "Oh shit, no wonder I couldn't get a hold of Charlie".

She shrugged, put the remote back in her bag and walked away. She forgot all about Mike and starting dancing slowly and sensually. It would have been totally hot, if it weren't for the techno music she was trying to dance to. She had reached rock bottom and showed signs of starting to dig.

I shouldn't have challenged her to a drinking game, I knew she would get drunk fast but not this fast. I just wanted to get her home before she did something really stupid. Bella was out of control, she had no idea what she was doing most of the time.

"Does she always drink so much?" I asked Alice, who was giggling madly.

"Nope, not at all. Something about you drives her to do stupid things." Alice sighed "she likes you Edward but I think she heard a rumor about you that's made her cautious. I don't know what it is because she won't talk about it."

I pondered for a moment, I didn't even know I was a topic of conversation. As I sat watching Bella I tried to think of something she could have heard. Maybe she heard I'm only studying medicine because my father is a doctor and I wanted to make him proud; but why would that bother her? Oh no, maybe Emmett told her about my transformer's collection and she thinks I'm immature.

My thoughts were interrupted when I seen Bella trip. Fortunately I caught her, a split second before she collided with the ground.

"I think Bella needs to go home" I shouted to Alice as Bella retreated to the bathroom.

"Yeah, you might be right. I'll just get my bag and say goodbye to Rose and Emmett" Alice didn't look ready to go, I admired her selflessness.

Jasper gave me a pleading look.

"Wait Alice, you're having a good time. I'm sure Bella wouldn't want to be the reason your night was cut short. Just give me your address and I will make sure she gets home and I'll even text you when she's safe and sound, tucked up in bed." I hoped she wouldn't think I was creepy.

"Thanks Edward, that's really nice of you but I don't want to spoil your night" Alice politely declined my offer.

"Let him take her Alice! Eddie's a good guy I promise, one of the best. Besides she's the only reason he came out tonight" Emmett chuckled and winked at her.

Trust Emmett to embarrass me like this, I'm sure Bella will hear all about my obsessive behavior in the morning.

"Plus if you leave, Jaz here will get all sulky and nobody wants to deal with that".

"Em, what the fuck?" Jasper scolded.

"Just trying to even out the playing fields" Emmett reasoned.

Bella staggered her way back to us "Did I miss the pep talk, Em?"

I laughed, relieved she had missed the conversation.

"Eddie's going to take you home Bella, I think you've had enough" Alice explained.

Bella jabbed me in the ribs. "You are, are you?"

I wasn't sure if she was going to argue or not and I didn't want to boss her around.

"If that's okay with you?" I responded.

She grabbed her bag and started heading towards the door. "You coming?" she yelled over her shoulder. "See you later guys, have fun."

I ran after her "Bella, you're going the wrong way."

She huffed "No I'm not Edward, I'm hungry and I'm going to get something to eat."

I walked with her, I didn't really mind how long it took to get her home. I was happy to spend time with her, even if she wasn't so happy with my company. She skipped into a supermarket and ran behind the counter pretending to serve imaginary customers, while the worker stood dumb-founded.

"Bella, you will get yourself into trouble. What are you doing?" I yelled.

I could not believe she would act so insane.

"Excuse me, I'm trying to work here. How would you like it if I started yelling down the alley while you're giving blow jobs to transsexuals?" Bella smirked.

"Bella, please let me take you home" I begged.

She rolled her eyes and took my hand. I walked her out the door but not before she grabbed a pineapple from the fruit basket on the counter.

"So, my place or yours?" She teased.

"Yours, of course, Alice gave me your address before we left" I told her.

She stopped walking abruptly, it looked like she only just realized we weren't with everyone else.

"I didn't bring a key, I assumed I'd be going home when Alice did". She shrugged "Oh well I guess it's your place we are going to".

"Did you just wink at me? I'm starting to think you might be a nicer person when you're drunk" I mocked her. "A little crazy, but nicer".

"No, I'm just not afraid to say what I want, and Edward Cullen, I want you!"
