I do not own Twilight or its characters. Stephenie Meyer does.
CH 7 July (BPOV)
Summer days in Forks surprisingly meant more sun. One sunny day in particularly, I was stuck at home since Edward was too scared to let me drive my car. I didn't see why Alice couldn't look at each day individually but Edward didn't want to take chances.
So when I heard a knock on the door I knew it wasn't any of the Cullens. I opened the door and there was no one there.
"Hello?" I took a half a step out onto the porch, still in my bare feet. I looked around in case of a box. I shrugged and turn back around because the house phone started to ring. Suddenly a warm dark arm wrapped around my waist and a cloth covered my mouth. I struggled but I found myself growing weak and I blacked out.
I am not sure how long I was out, but when I came to I was in a strange house. I tried to move but I was tied to a chair and looked at my surroundings. There was a girl not too much older than me at the stove. She turned and I noticed she was Quileute. I bit my lip from to not gasp at the sight of her face. One side of it looked like she had been attacked by an animal.
"Sam and the pack will be right back. They went to get the elders." She had a spatula in her hands.
"Can you untie me, please? I really need to use the bathroom." I asked.
"They will be right back." She told me.
"Look, unless you want me to go right here, please, let me use the bathroom," I begged. I had to get out of here, what were they going to do?
"Alright, but it would be useless to run. You will just make them mad." She came over and loosened the ties. Make them mad, please? If I didn't get to Edward soon it was him I was more worried about.
As soon as the ropes fell to the ground, I stood up and pushed the girl over. I ran for the door and took a few steps out. I started to run, thinking that I would run for the beach. There was a store not far from there and I could call Charlie to come get me.
I barely made it ten steps before a huge Quileute was in front of me. I spun and another blocked me off. Before I turned again, a hand grabbed my arm. I tried to wrench free but the person was too strong.
"It's useless to run, Bella," Jacob spoke up, his arms across of his chest. He was standing next to the biggest boy. I remembered from the beach that it was Sam.
"What is going on here? Let go of me," I ordered, glaring at the boy who was holding me. His grip was hurting. He looked at Sam and he shook his head.
"This really is uncalled for. Do you have to hurt me?" I was getting frustrated and worried too. They couldn't possibly try to keep me here. Edward would surely come after me and then he would break the treaty. That isn't what they wanted is it?
"Let her go, Jared," I heard Billy speak up from his chair. Two other men were with him.
"Bella, this Harry Clearwater and Old Quil, they are the other elders of the tribe."
"I would say nice to meet you, but giving the circumstances I can't." I glared at the old men.
"She gets that from Charlie," Harry cracked a small smile. I however wasn't amused.
"Speaking of my father. I love to see how you plan on explaining my kidnapping." I threatened. Billy and Harry exchanged a look.
"Now there is no need of that." Billy sighed. "We just need to talk with you."
"You could have called. You could have asked politely. I am not unreasonable." I rubbed my sore arm.
"Like he would have let you," scoffed another boy I didn't know.
"And taking me against my will would go so much better?" I retorted. There was an exchange of glances. They wanted to piss Edward off.
"If he comes here for you he will be breaking the treaty," Billy answered.
"Please, your tribe has broken it twice already." I rolled my eyes.
"How so," the one named Sam demanded.
"First, when Jacob told me the legends and implicating the Cullens directly."
"You tricked it out of me." Jacob whined.
"I didn't know there was a treaty involved. Plus, Sam is the one who made me curious that you knew something when he said 'the Cullens weren't allowed here'," I shot back.
"And the second time?" Harry asked.
"I am part of the Cullens' family. I'm Edward's mate and fiancée, you attacked me first." I looked at Harry; he didn't seem as hostile as everyone else.
"But you're not a vampire. Plus you never signed the treaty." Billy shook his head. If that was the case then Alice and Jasper were free game. They could cross without breaking the treaty, but they could get attacked as well.
"Then where is it. I will sign it happily." I shrugged.
"I don't think so. We brought you here to plead you to see reason. The Cullens have brained washed you," Billy slammed his fist in his lap. I snorted.
"They have done nothing of the sort." I snapped.
"They are vile bloodsucking leeches. Monsters! Why are we even doing this? She's just a vampire's wh…" a boy was shaking with rage and automatically took a step backwards. Jared stepped in front of me and Jacob stood in front of the shaking boy.
"Paul, enough!" Sam bellowed.
"Bella, why can't you see them for what they are," Billy pleaded.
"Why can't you? You're allowing your prejudice to leave you narrow minded. They chose to hunt animals, not to kill humans. They had no choice in what they have become. They try hard to live as they do. They deserve credit for that." I adamantly defended my family.
"Still turning into a vampire is not natural," Old Quil spoke up for the first time.
"And sprouting fur and a tail is?" The response flew out of my mouth before I could stop it. A few of the boys snickered.
"Still we are protectors." Sam spoke without emotion.
"The Cullens have done nothing but try to protect me. They aren't like other vampires. You know nothing about them," I defended my family.
"They still suck blood." Billy shook his head in disagreement.
"You are all biased looking at them at it as if the situation was black and white." I realized I was about to possibly head into dangerous territory. "When settlers first came here they thought all the natives were savages and scalpers. But they were wrong. You're looking at the Cullens the same way your ancestors were treated and it is unfair." The mood was silent.
"We still wouldn't have changed if they didn't come here." Jacob said.
"I thought according to your legends your tribe was changing long before that." I argued. Before anyone can say anything else a police siren ripped through the air. Charlie was headed this way.
"Shit," Billy looked worried. Harry shifted uneasily growing pale. Only Old Quil looked unaffected.
"Should we hide her?" The one name Jared grabbed my arm, again.
"Charlie is going to be mad enough," Harry warned. Before anyone could move, the cruiser, with lights flashing and siren blaring, came into views and pulled to a stop. Charlie was out of the car quicker than I have ever seen him move before.
"Get your hands off my daughter," he ordered. His face was bright red with rage and his hand was on his gun. Jared let me go immediately and I took the chance to stumble towards Charlie. He met me about half-way and placed me behind him.
"Are you okay," he asked looking over his shoulder slightly.
"Peachy," I muttered. I really wasn't sure how to explain this without exposing the Cullens or the wolves.
"Where are your shoes?" Charlie looked quickly at my feet.
"At home," I answered. Charlie turned back around sharply.
"Someone want to explain to me what is going on? I got a call from my neighbor, Mrs. Kravits, saying she witnessed two boys from the reservation kidnapping my daughter from my house!" Charlie was still fuming. I hoped his blood pressure was alright.
"Charlie, we meant no harm; we just needed to talk to her." Billy's face lacked emotion, similar to Sam's.
"What could be so important that you needed to kidnap her?" Charlie glared at his old friend.
"One guess," I muttered, he still heard me though.
"The Cullens? This has gone way beyond out of hand. Bells get in the car." Charlie ordered. I moved slowly, pausing by the door. "Billy and Harry, you have been my friends for a long time, but this has gotten out of control. Your superstitions have no merit. I watched Edward closely over the last few months. All I have seen from him was how he treats Bella with the upmost respect, care and love." Part of my heart swelled seeing Charlie talking about Edward this way.
"He has you both fooled." Old Quil spoke coldly.
"Well, then, I guess none of you will be disappointed that you're not going to be invited to the wedding." Charlie started back for the cruiser and I opened the door.
"Wait! You're marrying that bloodsuc…" Jacob was shaking all over before he exploded into a huge russet colored wolf. Bigger than any wolf should naturally be.
"What in the blue blazes…?" Charlie had his gun drawn and pointed at Jacob.
"Charlie…no…please that's Jake," Billy cried out in panic. Charlie shot his friend a disbelieving look. As mad as I was, I had to stop Charlie; I couldn't in good conscious let him shoot Jacob.
"Dad, he's telling you the truth." Charlie didn't lower the gun but backed up.
"I have no idea what is going on here. But you have the nerve to complain about the Cullens when you are harboring this!" His face was pale, but he remained steadfast.
"You've heard the legends before Charlie. Please, Jacob is good. He would never…." Billy was still pleading.
"I have to get Bella out of here, but this is not over." He shook his head opening the door to the cruiser.
Charlie left nearly as fast as he came. He didn't slow until he got to the border. He was muttering to himself the entire time; something about looking to see if he could press charges, even though they are on the reservation, for kidnapping. Also, something about tranquilizers big enough to take big animals down.
"Do you know which two kidnapped you?" Charlie spoke to me. I had been looking out the window for signs of Edward.
"No, my back was turned and I passed out before hand," I answered. Charlie slammed the steering wheel with his fist.
"Umm…Dad, I know you have to get back to work. Can you drop me off at the Cullens?" I asked.
"Are they home? Do they own guns?" Charlie asked.
"Most likely. Esme has told me I am always invited. I don't know about the guns. I doubt any of the Quileutes will come near their house anyways." I answered. I was relieved he didn't ask a different question.
"Why do you seem so calm? Didn't you just see Jacob turn into that thing?" Charlie sounded skeptical.
"I don't know, maybe I am in shock," I said trying to find something believable. "It is not the first I heard about their wolf legends. Jacob told me it when I first moved here. I just never thought it was true." I looked out the window. I swear I saw something in the trees. I had a feeling that Edward was near.
Charlie turned into the Cullens' driveway and pulled to a stop at the house. Before either of us got out of the car the dispatcher came over the radio. There was an emergency call in La Push. Harry Clearwater had a heart attack. I saw the hesitancy in Charlie's eyes.
"You should go," I spoke up softly.
"Stay with the Cullens until you hear from me. If you have to go back to the house make sure Edward and at least one of his brothers go with you." As Charlie spoke he seemed to be confused and trying hard to figure something out.
"Okay, be careful, Dad," I opened the door. I was starting to wonder if Charlie was on the verge of figuring things out.
I got out of the cruiser and hurried up the steps. I was barely through the door when Edward's arms were around me, holding me tight. I felt relieved and safe in his embrace.
"Oh, my sweet angel. I never have been so happy to see you. I'm sorry that I didn't come for you. The others wouldn't let me. But I wanted to." His face was muffled in my hair.
"I'm glad they did," I admitted.
"What how can you say that?" Edward sounded hurt. I looked up into his sad eyes, they were flint black.
"They wanted you to cross the line. They were hoping you would break the treaty. They basically came out and said it." I sighed.
"But they broke it attacking you," Emmett growled, I jumped because I didn't realize he was in the room. "Sorry," He frowned when he realized he startled me.
"They said I don't count as a Cullen since I am not a vampire or have signed the treaty." I shrugged as I leaned into Edward again. His hold on me felt permanent and I needed that right now.
"If that is the case, then Jasper or Alice could have gone." Emmett argued.
"We could've, but I already saw Charlie heading in. Well, him disappearing. If we went in it could have made it worse," Alice answered but she was looking directly at Edward.
"Perhaps, I need to contact the council. I'm not sure I am comfortable with the three of you off the treaty." Carlisle spoke up.
"I'm not." Jasper looked angry. "Could you tell how many wolves there were?" He looked at me, shortly after I felt a few more calm waves.
"If they were all there, six." I answered. "They are really big too. I didn't think they would be that big." Edward's arms tensed.
"They were in wolf form?" His voice was very tight.
"Jacob phased right at the end when Charlie said they wouldn't be invited to the wedding."
"Charlie saw him turn into a wolf." Jasper asked sharply. I nodded.
"I'm not sure if Charlie will figure it out. Apparently he is aware of the legends. Billy mentioned them when he tried to stop Charlie from shooting Jacob." I saw the others look around tensely at each other.
"Should we leave?" Rose asked.
"Edward, was Charlie thinking of the legends?" Carlisle asked Edward.
"His mind was all over the place. I'm not sure." Edward answered. They turned and looked at Alice.
"I don't see anything yet," she sighed.
"Maybe we should leave," Esme spoke up softly.
"If you run though, wouldn't that bring more attention to the situations right now?" I asked. I tried not to panic of them leaving again.
"Perhaps." Carlisle seemed deep in thought. "I suppose we should wait it out."
"Come on, Bella, you probably want a shower," Edward pulled me to the stairs.
"Are you hungry?" Esme asked. Before I could respond my stomach growled. I blushed red as the others started laughing.
"I will take that as a yes. I will fix you something to eat," Esme smiled.
Edward led me up the steps.
"Are you okay?" I asked. He still looked a bit frazzled and rumpled.
"I'm better now. Jasper and Emmett basically had to sit on me to keep me from crossing the line." Edward answered.
"I'm glad you didn't, the wolves are narrowed minded. They were looking for a fight. I just hope Harry is okay, because he was a close friend of Charlie's." I sighed leaning into him.
"You're an amazing person, Miss Swan," Edward gave me a soft smile. He leaned down and gave me a brief kiss before gently pushing me into the bathroom. "No offense, but you smell like wet dog."

(EPOV)
It has been two weeks since the wolves had the audacity to kidnap my Bella. That day my brothers literally had to hold me down. When she disappeared, we had followed the stench of the wolves the best we could to the border. Alice said Charlie was on his way, that a neighbor tipped him off. Carlisle tried to convince me that the wolves would not hurt her. Nor would they expose themselves to Charlie. It was the hardest thing I could do to just sit back and let it happen.
Carlisle was wrong though. The wolves phased in front of Charlie. He now knew of their secret from their own fault. What yet remained to be determined is if he would figure out about us, like Bella did. I listened to his thoughts and nothing had given the indication that he thought about it. He had been preoccupied over his friend's death and seeing if he could press charges against the two boys for kidnapping Bella.
This weekend, it was all to be put aside as we were having a co-bachelor/ bachelorette weekend in Vancouver. I refused to let Bella go without me. No reassurance from Alice could have made me comfortable with Bella being in a club.
Of course, the night wouldn't completely pleasurable for myself or Jasper with our abilities. But I was willing to suffer if Bella was having fun. She didn't seem the type anyways, that would enjoy clubs. Besides, someone had to rein in the pixie and Rose.
Especially, since they planned on getting Bella drunk. They thought she might want the 'human experience'. Frankly, I thought Bella was joking about the keggers. Someone as clumsy as my Bella shouldn't drink. I also didn't trust the wolves not to do anything again.
We had left in the very early morning from Forks, so early that Bella immediately fell back asleep in the car. The mid-morning was spent at Vancouver Aquarium, which seemed pointless since all the fish and sea creatures would try to flee from sight. Bella found it slightly amusing. I'm glad she wasn't disappointed. We stopped so Bella could have lunch at Cafe Medina. I encouraged the carbs. and water, since, I knew what they had planned for later. After lunch we went to Science World.
It was now early evening and we were back at our hotel, Fairmont Pacific Rim. We rented out the Owner's Suite. Bella looked in shock when she found out we had our own private elevator and the size of the suite. I didn't have to read her mind to know she thought it was too much.
Currently the girls had taken over the big bedroom and bathroom to get ready for the night. My brothers and I flipped through the stations as we waited from the living room, a floor below. We had already dressed and were ready to go.
We heard the girls on the stairs before we saw them. Rose was first, wearing her usual red color dress that looked extremely too short. Emmett should be glad he doesn't have abilities like Jasper and I or else I am sure he would make Rose wear more. Alice was next, wearing a vibrant purple dress that was more modest than Rose's. My eyes stayed trained to the stairs as I saw Bella coming cautiously down. My eyes widened when I saw her. She was wearing a deep blue dress that ended mid-thigh with a small flare. The top was very form fitting, dipping between the breasts. Her hair was half put up with big curls. The make-up was light for Alice's usual standards and surprisingly she let Bella get away with ballet flats on her feet. I didn't think a drunken Bella on heels would be a good thing. Alice told me with a smirk on her face.
"You look beautiful, love," I told her as she was looking at me for my opinion with a nervous smile on her face. She relaxed into a real smile.
"Thank you." She blushed. I am going to miss that blush. Beautiful wasn't the right words. Sexy. My Bella was looking very sexy and the thoughts of other men were going to drive me crazy if my need for her didn't.
"Let's go, we have dinner reservations," Alice called. I put my hand on Bella's back to lead her towards the door. I looked down when I realized I was touching bare skin. Bella's dress was near backless. There were a few straps that crossed back and forth.
Edward, don't overreact or we are going to be late. She looks very modest for nowadays. Alice lectured me. This was going to be a long night.
We arrived at the Coast Restaurant and were seated right away. The hostess thoughts were on me. I tried to ignore her, but her leer didn't go unnoticed. Bella was glaring at her.
"I am Becki, welcome to Coast Restaurant. Are we celebrating anything tonight?" She was looking at us all dressed up.
"Yes, my fiancé and I are celebrating that we are getting married in a couple of weeks." I was surprised when Bella spoke up first. She placed her left hand on my bicep and gave my cheek a kiss. The hostess scowled slightly then she gave us a tight lipped smile.
"Congratulations," she said through her teeth.
"Thank you," Bella said sweetly. The hostess finished handing out the menus and stalked off.
"Bitch," Rose glared after her.
"I am so proud of you, Bella," Alice smiled. I love that she is more confident. So did I.
"Was that really necessary?" I asked in an amused tone as Bella was now looking at the menu.
She looked up and I couldn't read the expression.
"Why, do you like that she was looking at you like that?" She had eyebrow arched.
Careful, bro, that is a trap.
Mayday Mayday, bail out now.
My brothers tried to warn me as my sisters and Bella stared at me for an answer.
"The only women I care about looking at me is you. The others don't even register on the radar." Bella's face beamed into a smile and my sisters 'awed'.
And he is saaaaffe! Emmett yelled in his head like a baseball umpire. I gave him a weird look and he shrugged.
A waiter came up to the table.
"I am Jeff, what would you folk be having to drink tonight?" He was mainly looking at Jasper.
"The girls and I will each have the Resolution." Alice giggled as she spoke. I felt Bella stiffen beside me. I wonder if anyone told her they planned on getting her drunk tonight.
"And you bright eyes?" I choked back a laugh as Jasper tried not to cringe under the attention.
"Draft, please." He choked out.
"Make that two," Emmett spoke up.
"And you, sir." Jeff was still looking at Jasper.
"I will have a Draft as well. A round of waters too, please," I answered.
"Certainly, I will go get those and then I will be back for your orders." He walked away.
"Why is it always Jasper and Edward that the boys hit on," Emmett pouted. The rest of us gave him a strange look.
"You're just too butch for him, dear. Edward and Jasper are just pretty, that's all," Rose smirked. I rolled my eyes.
"Alice, why did you order something with alcohol in it for me?" Bella asked.
"Because we are celebrating," Alice shrugged.
"Bella, you do not have to drink if you don't want to. No one is going to force you." I had a stare down with Alice. She finally huffed and turned back to Bella.
"Bella, I thought you wanted the human experience of getting drunk at 'Keggers' before your change," Alice asked sweetly.
"That was a joke." Bella looked at me.
"Bella, do you want to do this?" I asked.
"I don't mind trying a drink but I don't think I want to get that drunk." Bella said.
"Then we wouldn't let you," Jasper answered, giving Alice a meaningful look. She sighed and nodded.
"Do you know what you want?" I asked Bella.
"I am not sure. There are few things that look good." She answered.
"You should get oysters," Emmett waggled his eyebrows, then dodge the smack Rose tried to give him.
"You and Edward could order the cold signature platter and Jasper and I could get the hot signature platter, that way you can try a variety." Alice looked at the menu.
"What should I get" Rose asked.
"Get the Organic Green Salad," Alice suggested then looked at Bella who nodded.
Jeff came back with our drinks. Bella's eyes widened at the large drink in front of her.
We placed our order. Emmett ordered a New York Strip rare, he planned on eating. That will be interesting.
"Well, how is it?" Alice asked about the drink sitting front of her. I watched as Bella swirled her straw before taking a sip.
"It tastes fruity with a kick." She took a bigger sip apparently liking it.
Edward, try and relax. With five us here with here, nothing bad will happen. What's the worst that could happen, she wakes up tomorrow with a hangover? I looked to Jasper and gave him a silent nod. I was happy to see Bella take a roll to eat as we waited.
When our dinner arrived my family and I did our best not to wrinkle our nose at the smell.
I guess one good thing about her changing is that we will not have to be around her when she eats. No offense to her, it is just the smell. Rose tried not to grimace.
I helped Bella fill her plate and started opening the lobster and the snow crab for her. She picked up an oyster and looked skeptical at it, she tilted the shell between her lips to let it slide into her mouth. She licked her lips afterwards appearing to like it.
Dude, between the alcohol and the oysters, you're going to have a good night. Emmett winked at me.
I gave him a kick in the shins. He winced in pain causing Rose to look at him with concern. Then she realized he had food in his mouth.
"Your not actually eating that are you?" she asked.
"I tried one bite. I thought if it was rare it wouldn't be so bad, but I was wrong." My sisters, Jazz and I cringed. "But that's not why I winced. I was pointing something out to his benefit and he kicked me. Am I wrong, I thought oysters were an aphrodisiac?" Bella froze with another oyster half way to her mouth and she started to blush.
"Ignore the idiot and enjoy your food," Jasper rolled his eyes. Bella still looked uncomfortable as she placed it down and took a bite of crab instead.
I picked up her discarded oyster and brought it to her lips. She let me tilt it into her mouth, awarding me with a smile.
The rest of the meal went smoothly. Alice switched out Bella's glass three times when it reached about half full. Bella had been taking regular sips of water too. She was starting to get more giggly towards the end of dinner, which Jasper found amusing and would spread it out to Emmett. Her face was a little more rosy then normal and she was leaning into me.
"Come on, Bella, time to powder our noses." Alice stood up with her bag over her shoulder to toss out our portion to make it look like we ate. Bella stood and immediately wavered a bit. I stood up fast and held onto her. Bella let out a small giggle as she nestled into me.
"I got her," Alice linked arms with her; the pair went of giggling towards the ladies room with a smirking Rose following them.
"This is going to be a fun night," Emmett started to laugh.
"Edward, relax. Bella is fine. Aren't you always harping that she should have experiences before the change?" Jasper asked carefully in case we were overheard.
"Certain experiences, yes. I didn't think risky things were necessary." I bunched the napkin from my lap and tossed it on the table.
"This isn't that risky. We can smell her blood alcohol level and keep it from getting out of hand." Emmett shrugged. He was thinking of his days as a human.
The girls were all giggles coming back now they were all smiles. Alice had stuck a crown on Bella's head that said Bride-to-be. Bella caught my eye and she beamed looking radiant. She kissed my cheek before sitting in her chair.
"Nice, crown, Bells," Emmett smirks.
"Thank you and it is Princess Bella to you." Bella smiled at him. Jasper snorted and the girls glared at him.
"My apologies, Princess and ladies." Jasper said regally but he looked highly amused. As we paid the bill I noticed Bella's drink had disappeared. She was already tipsy and I wanted to know if we should be cutting her off because she did say she didn't want to get to drunk.
She doesn't want to get too hung over or blackout. Right now, she's just a bit tipsy. Alice rolled her eyes.
"Shall we move on to the next event," Alice asked.
"I am not sure about a club. You know I don't like dancing," Bella's words were slightly slurred. Jasper wasn't looking forward to this part either.
"You will like this one. I promise." Alice got up and the rest of us followed suite. I grabbed a hold of Bella's waist. She leaned into me again, this time her hand starts playing with my shirt button. Thoughts in Alice's head got my attention. Don't ruin it, I want it to be a surprise. I smiled looking forward to the next part.
When we arrived to the next destination Emmett looked at a sign with a confused look.
"I thought you said, club. This is Vancouver TheatreSports League." Emmett question frowning.
"It is a club, it's a comedy club, plus a theatre," Alice said with a flourish.
"A comedy club, I can handle that," Bella smiled, "as long as I'm not picked on too much."
"You won't be," Alice promised.
"This actually might be cool. Much better then a dance club. Good choice, darlin'," Jasper looked relieved. He could always enjoy a humorous atmosphere.
"Well, I knew you and Edward wouldn't enjoy the dance club. Bella wouldn't be that thrilled either." Alice took his hand.
We took our seats at a table and a waitress was over for our drink order, right away. Alice proceeded to order more fruity drinks for the girls and beers for us guys. I reminded her for water, too. I was please to see Bella went for water first.
The show was very funny and being near the back no one really bothered us. By the second to last act, Bella had drank an additional two drinks and a glass and half of water. Her eyes were glassy and she was laughing over even the stupidest jokes. It was about then the comedian noticed our group.
"We have a bride-to-be in the house tonight," he announced and Bella blushed. He whispered something to the bartender. My siblings and I exchanged looks of worry. We all thought at this point she had enough to drink. Then Alice got a vision of us all having to drink the shots. I didn't see this before. I'm sorry. I shrugged. There wasn't much we could do now; I just hope the others stayed in good humor.
The comedian kept us preoccupied with jokes about marriages, brides and grooms. He kept it general and didn't single her out. Bella seemed oblivious to what was coming. He was signaled by the bartender and he went back over to grab a tray of six shots. He brought them to our table and set it in the center.
"Our gift to you, Miss Bride." Bella flushed.
"I can't drink all that," She looked at him apologetically.
"You are so innocent, it's cute," the man smirked. His thoughts were fairly harmless; he just wanted to tease her. Apparently he did this with all the bridal parties. "Do you know the names of any of theses?" He asked, Bella shook her head. "So innocent(pause) we are going to change that tonight," Bella turned even brighter red. She shrank into me a bit.
"Alright, what I have here is a Blow Job, Screaming Orgasm, Horny Bastard, Buttery Nipple, G-spot and Dirty Condom."
"Now our blushing bride, I want you to choose which shot goes to which of your companions." He gestured to the tray.
"Wait, what?" Bella looked alarmed.
"Who is having the Blow Job?" He lifted the drink off the tray; Bella looked at us with embarrassment and apologetic.
"I guess, Rose," She cringed away from Rose hiding behind me slightly. Rose frowned and took the drink. Someone is going to pay for this.
"Not yet, with a Blow Job, we don't use hands." The comedian told her. With a dark look Rose sets the glass on the table and picked it up with her mouth and slung it back. Disgusting.
"Alright next, who is the lucky recipient of the Orgasm," Bella pointed to Alice. Who takes the glass and slung it back, being a good sport. Ewww!
"Now which of these fellas is a horny bastard." He smirked looking at us guys. Bella actually appeared to think about this before pointing to Jasper. He gave a surprised look before grabbing the glass. Ugh, better than a dirty condom, though.
"Now let's get the Dirty Condom taking care of." The comedian picked up the drink.
Bella immediately pointed to Emmett, who scowled lightly. He slung it back without a second thought. That was worse than the steak.
Two shots left. One for you and one for your groom." The comedian smiled.
"Do you care, which?' Bella muttered under her breath. I shook my head. Bella reached forward and grabbed the G-Spot and placed it front of her. I grabbed the Buttery Nipple.
"Alright together. One, two, three…" the comedian counted us down. I tried to hold back I took the shot. Bella tried to down it and choke a bit. There was around of applause for us by the rest of the audience.
"Let's hear it for that happy couple." The comedian picked up the tray of empty shots and handed it to a passing waiter. "Before I finish up, I think it is only appropriate for the happy couple to kiss," There was more applause. I was thinking that it inappropriate for me to kiss Bella like this in front of strangers. Edward, if you don't give her a kiss. He will break out into Kiss the Girl,Alice warned me.
I leaned in and gave Bella a small chaste kiss. There was a series of boos of disappointment.
"That was one sorry kiss. Do I need to show you how it is done?" The comedian leered forward. I stared him down and he stumbled backwards. I leaned in and kissed Bella more passionately. With one arm, I wrapped around her waist and dragged her off of her chair and into my lap. Bella very eagerly kissed me back and got lost in the kiss. Her heart was beating fast and I can taste the alcohol on her normally sweet breath. The crowd started whooping and hollering. I pulled back and couldn't help but smile when I saw the pleased look on Bella's face. She immediately leaned in for another, I could smell her arousal. I could also tell it was more apparent then earlier she wasn't wearing a bra. I managed to cuddle her into my side. We didn't need to make out in front of the whole club. She pouted slightly.
"Later," I whispered into her ear and then slid my hand to her upper thigh. Her eyes widen and she smiled.
Luckily, the comedian had moved on. I made the decision we needed to leave soon, because Bella was starting to come very bold under the influence of alcohol. Her hand slipped down in between my legs and started to stroke my own arousal with her hand. She had a smug smile on her face as she realized my body's response to her. I took my hand to still her hand and she huffed.
Do we need to leave? Jasper cut me a look and I nodded.
"That drink was disgusting. It doesn't taste like it should." Rose shuddered.
"What does it taste like," my angel spoke up innocently and my siblings exploded into laughter.
"What?" Bella was confused why they were laughing. Maybe you should offer her a taste, bro. I growled at him and Bella looked at me with a skeptical look.
"What is so wrong about asking…" She froze and turned red. She must have realized the innuendo. "I didn't mean…ewww….I don't want to know what he tastes like. I was asking about the shot." Her face was brighter red the fruit drink from earlier. She buried her head in the crook of neck.
"Sorry, it wouldn't taste the same to us as you anyways," Alice giggled. Bella was already distracted as she started to kiss and nibble on my neck. I shifted in my seat.
"I think we should go," Alice giggled.
"Wait," Bella jumped off fast from me lap and headed off. She was leaning a bit and looked unsteady. Where was she going? Alice was already out of her seat and after her as humanly as possible.
"Why is Bella headed backstage?" Jasper laughed. Alice caught up with her and linked arms to lead her off in another direction towards the restroom. I laughed once they disappeared.
We met them in lobby when they were done. Bella bounced up to me and kissed my cheek before nearly wrapping herself around me tightly as she could. We walked off to the rented vehicle, a Ford Expedition, that allowed us all to ride together. Emmett drove so I could sit with Bella in the back.
For some reason Bella got another case of the giggles; which turned into laughter. No one had any idea what she was laughing at. Jasper started laughing with her, soon we were all laughing.
"Bella, care to share with the class," Jasper asked gasping for air. Her glassy eyes widened and she shook her head.
"Tell us, is it something bad?" Emmett wiggled his eyebrows at her. "If you won't tell, we will assume that it is."
"I was just curious about something," Bella blushed. We all looked at her. "I was just wondering if a vampire drank the blood of someone who is drunk will they get drunk, too?" Bella asked.
There some laughter in the vehicle. Bella buried herself into my side.
"No, love, they won't." I laughed.
We continued driving when suddenly Bella hollered. "Stop!"
Emmett slammed on the breaks. Luckily, the street was nearly deserted. I instinctively grabbed on to her.
"What?" I was worried she about to get sick. She looked mortified when we all were looking at her.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to be so loud. I just want to stop and get something to eat." Her voice came out small and sheepish.
"Geesh, don't do that?" Emmett grumbled as he pulled to the drive-thru at a McDonalds.
"I said, sorry," Bella pouted, giving him a puppy dog look. Emmett chuckled and got an evil glint in his eye. I shook my head and tried to hide my amusement.
"May, I help you?" The server asked over the box.
"Yes, a cheeseburger happy meal for a princess, please." Emmett ordered. Bella stuck her tongue out at him.
"To drink, sir?"
"Coke," Bella answered.
"No, water," I insisted. Caffeine wasn't good for her right now.
"I want a Coke, please."
"Water,"
"Coke,"
"Children, please," Emmett scolded. "I will have a coke and a water, please."
Emmett pulled out his wallet and paid. He handed back the bag. Bella opened the bag and started to eat. She started to drink her soda with a defiant look. She fished out her toy and glared at it angrily and I started to laugh.
"What did you get?" Jasper leaned over the seat to see. He was curious to see why a toy would make her mad.
"Apparently, something for Edward." She stuffed it in my shirt pocket with a pat against my chest.
"It is a small tiger kitten." I kissed her on the top of the head. Bella ate everything and I was happy because that meant it would help soak up the alcohol.
She even drank most of the water. In truth, as drunks go, she wasn't that bad. She might have been slower than normal, but she was coherent. Her speech was slightly slurred. Alice envisioned her only waking with a headache and being very tired tomorrow.
It will be interested to see how the rest of the night, or technically early morning, will play out. Apparently, Bella is a bit of a horny drunk. I can tell I would be having a heck of a time tonight getting her to sleep.
My siblings followed us up to the room. They planned on changing then going for a hunt.
"Come on, love, it's way past your bedtime." I pulled her towards the stairs.
"I'm not sleepy," she pouted, exactly why I didn't want her to have the caffeine. "Wait," she pulled away from me. She took the crown off her head stretched up onto her tip-toes to put it onto Emmett's head. "There, you can be the princess now." She smirked.
"You're the ugliness princess, I ever saw," Jasper snickered then dodged Emmett's punch.
"I'm ready now. Good- night," Bella grabbed my hand, stumbled up the first step. I pulled her up bridal style and she started giggling. Her mouth attached itself to my neck sucking, licking and nibbling. One of her hand started to unbutton my shirt. I tried to fight the growing arousal between us, we should wait until our wedding night and it was very close. Not to mention Bella was under the influence of alcohol.
I placed her gently on her feet. Her arms stayed around my neck as she stretched up to kiss me.
"Is it later," she purred rubbing my chest with her hand. My tiger kitten was turning into a sex kitten before my eyes.
"Bella, you should go to bed." I told her gently.
"No, I want to practice, and from what I can feel, so do you." She ran her hand down my chest then further down to stroke my length through my pants. I hissed and closed my eyes fighting to stay in control. Her hand continued to stroke while her other hand moved to my belt. I used my hands to still hers. I looked into her lust filled hooded eyes.
"Bella, not tonight." I managed to get out; the huskiness in my voice betrayed me. She pouted and moved her pinky of her captured hand. It grazed my tip through my pants and I moaned.
"Please," she kissed my neck. "We can tryout the sauna "
"A little 'practicing'. Get ready for bed first. We can try the sauna tomorrow if you want," I pleaded. She started to smile widely.
She stepped away and hurried to her bag, surprisingly not stumbling. She bent at the waist and her round bottom was facing me. I found myself unable to tear my eyes away. She looked over her shoulder and winked at me. She then wiggled it for me giggling. She was testing my resolve. I knew I should look away but I couldn't; I was memorized as I watched her hand slip to her side and started to unzip. It took my brain a half-second to realize what she was doing.
I cleared my throat and it took all my will to turn away. I bit my lip holding in my moan as I heard the dress hit the floor. Bella giggled, then walk into the bathroom and close the door. I changed quickly and started to turn down the bed. The door opened and Bella came out again; she decided to run to the bed and hopped on it giving me an eager smile. I grinned back and handed her the water.
"I'll be right back." I head to the bathroom and looked thru the complementary items for some sort of pain relievers. While in there I got rid of the nasty stuff I had to ingest. Then I decided to brush my teeth to get rid of the taste.
When I reentered the room Bella was curled up like a cat and fast asleep on top of the covers. I chuckled and lifted her so I could tuck her in. I placed the pills next to the empty cup. I climbed in next to her and her body instantly responded by curling into mine.
"I love you," she mumbled.
"I love you, too," I kissed the top of her head.
In about three weeks, Bella will be my wife. I couldn't wait.
A/N: A lot in this chapter. But since each chapter is month out of the year they are going to be that way.
First the wolves may be a big surprise. Yes they stepped over a line, but remember none of them really have a friendship with Bella. I want to make Harry a nice guy, because Seth is and he had to get it from somewhere.( yes I know it could be Sue too). Jacob phased in front of Charlie. He knows about the wolves, but with everything that happened he hasn't connected all dots yet.
All places in Vancouver exist I found them on a travel guide website. So I don't own them.
For all disclaimer purposes; I don't condone drinking underage especially to purposely to get drunk. Bella was legal where she drank not only that if you were keeping track she had 4 mix drinks and a shot. Plus she had a lot of water and food in her system. Roughly we( husband and I) figured out she would be lightly drunk.
-At the time that I wrote this I thought legal age was 18 in all of Canada. I now know that is not the case. It should be 19 in Vancouver. But for fiction sake we are going to go with 18.
Thank You For All Reviews!
Preview: (Wedding Time)
I open the lid and looked in at a beautiful silver comb.
"It was my mother's. Your mother and I had the stones replaced with real blue stone for you," Charlie cleared his throat.
"Sapphires. Honestly men… Do you like it?" Renée came over to inspect it.
"I do it is beautiful." I traced the flowers with a finger.
"It will make the perfect finishing touch." Alice took the box from me. She took the comb and placed it in right where the braids met in the back.
