DISCLAIMER: IN MY PROFILE…
CHAPTER 7:
Finally the time of the month that I like the most had arrived. My Halloween party is a week from today, which means booze, drugs, and sex. All parent-free. This was one of the most anticipated events at Forks, no parents there to make us behave or to reprimand us.
Unlike Tuesday's poker at the McCarthy's, this event required invitation. Just the best of best at Forks was invited. Every year, Alice, Rose and I arrive early at school and leave an envelope sealed shut with a kiss in every locker. The invitation said 5 things. The date, the hour, the place, the theme and in bold letters INVITED or UNINVITED, depending to whom the envelope belonged to.
"Okay bitches, let's see… Freshman year – a pink envelope with a red kiss. Theme – Naughty costumes. Such as playboy bunny, etc. Rose was a naughty police. Em was a bare-chested firefighter. Alice was a naughty princess. Jasper was a bare-chested cowboy. And I dressed as a gangster, voted best costume, by the way"
The girls and I were sitting down on my bedroom's floor with pictures and tons of papers spread around us. From past invitations to failed costumes pictures. This party was one of the most planned ones of the year and this one had to leave a mark. It was the last year after all. We had also skipped school so the guys wouldn't find out what we were planning this time.
"Whatever Bella… Sophomore year – blue envelope, bright pink kiss. Theme – Vampires. Thanks to Alice's obsession with Dracula's movie that whole year. And this time my costume was voted as the best, mind you Swan"
"Rose, being almost naked does not make a costume. Get over it, slut. Junior year – a red envelope with a chocolate kiss. Theme – Famous couples. Romeo and Juliet or Tom & Jerry for example. Rose and Emmett were street racers. Bella, you and your French toy were schoolgirl and teacher. And Jasper and me, winning best costume, army soldiers. Now… what to write in this year's envelope"
"I think I got it Alice, write down. Senior year – white envelope with gold details and a red kiss. Theme – Greek, gold and sex. No examples and no couples. Let's see what these shithole town losers can do with tricky instructions"
"You sure Bella? I don't know about this"
"Trust me Al; this year will give us the best pictures. You have the guest list ready, right?" she nodded and for the next six hours we printed and closed invitations and chatted away.
I told them everything that had happened with Edward and they shared their advice with me. I also told them about the idea I had yesterday to get my year's toy back and they both agreed to help me. Edward isn't gonna know what hit him. As soon as we were done I heard Emmett's voice in the kitchen as he asked Adelaide to prepare us some lunch. He started a match of rock band on the living room with Jasper. It was a smart move from him not to try and come here. He knew that I had been angry enough for the past week to try his luck.
"Well, since your men are back, we might as well go and get something to eat with them. I'm starved and I can already smell Adelaide's fucking delicious spaghetti"
"Yeah. We better get down before Emmett decides to eat everything she prepared. I love my sex-driven boyfriend, but I need some food and he eats way too much"
"True that Rose, besides, I miss my Jazzy"
"You guys are so whipped. That's why I change boys like underwear. All the fun of having a boyfriend without the strings attaching me to a place"
"But Bella, don't you ever want the love of someone. I mean, like having there someone to hug you at night or call you before you go to bed"
"Are we really doing this Alice? You want me to bring fucking ice cream too and paint your nails while watching The Notebook and cry over it? You know me better than that Alice; I don't need a man, much less a boy like the ones at school" by the end of my rant we were already in the living room and Emmett and Jasper heard it too. Of course, Emmett being Emmett couldn't pass up the opportunity to add his two cents to the mix.
"Of course you don't need a guy Swan; you've got Whitlock and me. What else do you need?"
"See Alice? Em agrees with me"
"Fine, but there's no need to be a bitch about it. It was just a question" we all sat around the living room to eat Adelaide's spaghetti while watching Emmett and Jasper argue about who had won their last Rock Band game. After a while it got quite boring so I shut them out; my brain instantly wandering off to my conversation with Alice.
It wasn't that I had anything about having a boyfriend; it's just that I couldn't find the purpose in having one. I really didn't feel the need of being hugged at night or to wake up to see some guy staring back at me. That would just be creepy and kind of fucked up. I admit I was being harsh when I first answered Alice because I knew she was just being a good friend, but she knew me better than that. I never talked about my feelings.
I had nothing against girlish sleepovers either. You know the ones where you could tell your friends how you rounded second base with your boyfriend while they paint your nails or give you makeover, but they just weren't my thing. I know some girls at school that still do it, but when you lost your virginity at fifteen, when you are used to get anything you want, and when you have an affair with your teacher, that entire sleepover thing seems like more bullshit than it already is. I really had no reason to do them.
I was Bella fucking Swan for crying out loud. My sleepovers consisted of having some girls and guys around, getting drunk, smoking for a while and send them all home after either fucking the guys or getting juicy blackmail material out of the girls. I couldn't go back from that. I was far too fucked up. Jasper's southern accent was the one to break me out of my musings.
"Swan, you still there darlin'? Alice just asked you a question"
"Oh yeah, I was just thinking. What was the question again?"
"Yeah, got that bitch. I was just telling the guys that this year we should drop the envelopes overnight. I don't see the point for waking up early tomorrow. Besides, if we leave them today, we can make a grand entrance tomorrow. I have just the prefect outfits for us to wear"
I had forgotten that tomorrow was casual Friday. Once a month, the students got to go to school without uniform and that day was tomorrow. Normally we didn't bother to dress up for this day as other kids at school did, but Alice's idea was sounding more appealing as I thought it over. The idea of a grand entrance to compliment the best party this town had seen was great. Besides, I knew that with Alice's fashion sense we would surely break necks.
"You know Al; it doesn't sound that bad now that I think of it"
"Wow Swan. Normally you aren't this exited for anything" Emmett was looking at me as if I had grown a fucking second head; he was right though. I was never excited.
"It's not the party or the dressing up part I'm excited about, McCarthy. More like what's gonna happen after that. I plan on having the time of my life this time next week and I want to show this shithole town what it'll be losing"
"I knew our Isabella Swan wouldn't just turn on us like that and get excited over a party. That would be Alice on a normal basis. Swan is just over all that appearance crap"
"Damn straight I am, Whitlock. Damn straight I am"
(~*~)
As planed we left the envelopes at school that night and Alice made us wear the part. Oh yeah, she had us drop the envelopes in black leather, of course we looked fucking amazing, but she went over the top as always. Breaking in wasn't something new for us either so we knew exactly what we had to do. We left the invitations and ended up coming back before 12. It was way too easy. The only envelope left for me to give couldn't be left at school, it was too dangerous. But it was better if I gave Edward his invitation personally, he would never say no that way.
They gang slept over and Alice woke us up at five to get ready. The time spent was worth it, we looked better than ever. We were wearing the party's colors, each in our own style. Rose's had a white and black bubble top and skinny jeans, Alice was wearing a yellow and brown halter neck top and white skinny jeans and I had a white and golden bustier with a bow under the bust and skinny jeans. And, of course, Alice, being Alice had the boys wear something black, white or golden in their clothes. Since the moment we got to school every eye was on us. The subject of gossip for the week, who was and who wasn't invited to the party.
"I told you, my idea was great" Alice and I were currently sitting in our first class of the day, Math. I glanced around the room and noticed that every single conversation was solely focused on us.
"I have to give it to you Alice, you're a genius."
"And wait 'til you see what I planned for the party on Friday"
"Knowing you Al, it'll be epic." A devilish grin spread on my face at the thought "and I can't wait to see what it is"
(~*~)
The rest of the day went in the same fashion and after school was over I drove to Edward's apartment. He lived near my house, of course the distances in Forks were relatively small, but anyway, his building was one the most expensive ones on town. I parked and rode the elevator until I got to the fifth level and rang his doorbell. The whole floor was his. Unfortunately for me, Tanya opened the door. She was wearing dark jeans and a poor excuse of a top that barely covered the essentials. It was great for someone my age, but she made it look sluttish. I noticed that her hair was a mess and her mouth was swollen.
Edward was home.
"Bella, what are you doing here?"
"Lovely to see you too, Tanya. Is Edward home?" speak of the devil and the devil shall appear. Not five seconds after I mentioned him, Edward himself came to the door without a shirt. His body was awesome and I couldn't help but check him out. Tanya smirked at me.
"Bella? Is there something wrong?" he looked distracted and a bit irritated, but I could see he was also really curious as to why I was standing in his doorstep after school. It was a first.
"No one has good manners nowadays. What's wrong with saying hi?" something must have snapped inside him with that because he looked down at himself and noticed that he wasn't wearing a shirt. He crossed his arms over his chest. His muscles flexed. Flashes of those arms around me making me scream went through my head. I was decided to get him back. I licked my lips.
"I'm sorry Bella; would you like to come in?"
"No thanks Edward. I just came here to give you this" I pulled out the envelope from my purse and handed it to him "it's for my Halloween party on Friday; you're both invited to come"
"Um, thanks, I guess"
"You're welcome. Anyway, I gotta go, sorry I interrupted your fun. I'll see you at school" I smirked at them and strutted down the hall as if I owned the floor. Ideas already formulating in my head. And let me tell you. They weren't pretty ones.
(~*~)
"Isabella Marie Swan! Where the hell are you?"
"Alice, chill down, will ya'? You've called me like ten fucking times in the past five minutes. I just picked up our costumes and I'm on my way home. Start getting ready, I'm minutes away"
"Fine Swan, bye"
"Later, Alice" I hung up my cell and speed up to get home faster.
The Halloween bash was five hours away and everything in my place had been set up since yesterday. Almost everyone that was invited had missed school to get ready for tonight. Of course, every year, Alice turned into a bitch right before the party 'cuz she wants us to look our best. As if we didn't all the time.
I smiled to myself thinking of what I had planned for tonight. Not only was I going to make Edward the most jealous man alive flaunting my body around the party with this year's costume, but I was also going to have the time of my life in the orgy with the gang. It was something I was always curious to try, but that I never thought I'd actually do.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't just doing this for Edward, but also for me. It would probably be my last opportunity to do whatever I wanted without being judged by the world and I was going to take it. I wasn't stupid; I knew that as soon as I stepped out of Forks things were going to change. For starters, I planned on never coming back. I was already important in the real world, a world far less fucked up than this town. And I knew that as soon as I saw what reality was I would never want to come back. I was cut for more than this life.
I had known that my whole life. Forks had never been enough, every day of my life I craved more. I craved something better, some kind of change; fuck, the habit was killing me. It just wasn't day to day living; it was a habit that hasn't been broken for centuries. Same fucking schools, same fucking attitudes, same fucked up rich families. I was the worst change that Forks had ever experienced.
I arrived to my place while thinking about that, the trip had been shorter with so many things on my mind. As expected, Alice was waiting for me outside, her small feet tapping incessantly on the ground.
"You're late missy"
"Alice, we still have five hours to get ready and no one arrives on time, will you chill down, everything will be okay"
"Fine, but we better start now. I want everything to be perfect not just okay"
"It'll be Al, I promise it'll be"
(~*~)
Six hours later we were dressed perfectly and ready to make our grand entrance. The party was already on full swing and people were starting to ask for us. It was time to show them what we really were and to have the time of our lives. Besides, our costumes were awesome. The real theme of the party was Greek gods and goddesses and we drove that to the extreme. My whole house looked like the Olympus and well we looked even better than Aphrodite herself.
Rose's costume was a short ruffled white dress with golden straps and decorations under the bust; her sleeves were see-through and cut open and the dress had a V neckline that showed her feminine 'perks' perfectly. She paired the costume with a perfect fantasy make up and a couple of golden gladiator high heels and straight hair. In all, she looked amazing.
Alice's costume was a one sleeved and really tight white dress that was way too short. She added a rope on her waist to make it look better and some golden accessories such as a tiara and an arm bracelet that complemented each other perfectly. She had normal strap heels on and her makeup was perfectly done. Her spiky hair had been curled giving her the soft look of an ethereal creature.
And then there was me. My costume had been made to raise the lust in every male that saw me. Unlike my friends' costumes, mine wasn't a dress. My skirt was long and white with golden decorations at the top where the waist was. The perk, it was cut open so that every time I took as step my whole leg was shown. The top part was just that, a top. It was white and golden like the skirt and it had a hole in the center of my breast. It left my whole belly exposed, so my tattoo was perfectly seen in contrast with my milky skin. Like Alice, I had strap heels and the only thing adorning my brown curls was a little leaf like pin to hold it in place.
We looked mythical and we were ready to raise some passions.
I was the last to enter the party, after having Emmett announce us to every guest. Like always, every eye was on us. There was one look though. One look that burned right through me and into my very core. I could feel the emerald eyes on me and when we finally crossed looks, I felt myself crumbling. The desire was unbelievable and its strengths left me breathless.
"Edward, Tanya. I'm glad you guys came"
He was wearing a gladiator costume, oozing sex from every pore; he was a god, masked among the mortals. He belonged to my side, among my friends. His costume was like Emmett's and Jasper's. He was part of us, he completed our circle. Like always, his hair was a mess, and his eyes were windows into my soul. He looked eatable, fuckable and downright amazing and well, she didn't.
She was a school girl. At least, that's what she resembled. Her costume was a poor excuse of what mine had been last year. She had nothing Greek nor gold, and instead of looking sexy she looked like a complete slut. As always, she had nothing on me.
"We wouldn't miss this for the world, Bella. I've heard you give the best parties"
"Well Tanya, you've heard right, but judge it yourself. Do excuse me, I have things to do"
(~*~)
It was well past midnight when Emmett and Jasper finally came to me. I had been drinking and dancing with the girls for most of the night and Edward´s stare had never once left me. In the blink of an eye Alice and Rose had disappeared and I was dirty dancing with the boys. I could smell them all around me and I could feel their hands on me, touching me, tempting me, wanting me.
"How about we take this upstairs gorgeous"
"Nothing ever sounded better, Whitlock"
We went looking for the girls and the five of us headed upstairs. Edward's stared burned brighter on me than ever before and the last thing I saw before I left the room were his bright emerald eyes focused on me.
