"Done." Ben told me. Eight hours and three-hundred pairs of shoes later we are ready to go to the club. He wanted a hand in this whole project and he is the only one I let help me without protest. Now that's not saying I didn't get help from my sisters.
I turned around to look in the mirror almost afraid of what I would see. "O' my god." I gaped at my own reflection because staring back at me wasn't pale skin vampire essence Eve. It was my human form; when Ben first discovered his powers I had asked him to give me back my brown eyes, but they never looked like they did when I was human.
"Like it?" He smirked and I looked at him before doing a double take. "Like it! Ben this is freaking amazing how did you….. I mean I haven't looked like this in ages." Words escaped my as I spun in front of the mirror watching the dress parachute around.
"Honestly Eve I didn't do that much. I pretty much just copied an old photo I found on your desk." He said lying down on my bed feet crossed at the ankles and arms behind his head.
"Don't give me that Ben! I mean my eyes! My god they haven't sparkled like this since I was seventeen years old!" I couldn't tear myself away from the mirror. My black dress with the red bow was elegantly matched with a pair of two inch criss-cross strap heels. My hair was down on my shoulders like normal, but one side was pinned back with red flower clip from my ears were red ice sickle earrings with a matching chocker. Make-up was a black eye liner with light red sparkle eye shadow and of course shiny lip-gloss.
"Eve it doesn't matter what I do it's the person that makes the eyes sparkle." Once again he strikes me speechless and of course he knows it with that arrogant look that lights up his eyes.
"Well we should go down stairs that way we can get the pictures over with." I walk ahead I could feel Ben's gaze at my back. "HEY! I thought you were gay mister!" I yelled realizing his eyes weren't on the back of my head.
"I was, but after this I think I just might be bi!" I laugh he is joking…. He better be joking I just got changed in front of him! I try to sneak into the living room unnoticed, but of course my darling sisters spotted me.
"Eve, O' my god! You're a girl!" Flora screamed hugging me her dress was a strapless light orange with a shade darker trim and white heels. Her red hair was curled in ringlets around her shoulders, her neck and ears were decorated with simple pearls.
"After all these years I began to believe that the person in those photos weren't you." Libby and I also exchanged a hug. Being Libby her dress had to be pink and it was a pink silky dress with a neck strap. Her hair half back fastened with a pink jeweled clip and matching earrings and pink heels.
"Here Eve come her I want to take a picture." My yelled from the deck and I groaned.
"Aw do I have to because then there is proof."
"EVE!" She yelled and I laughed encountering a serious cause of deja vo.
"Coming!" I walked at a normal pace out back were my mom stood gawking. I am positive if she could cry right now she would.
"Evelyn, you look lovely dear." I smiled and joined her at the rail.
"Thanks Mom, but it's really now big deal." My gaze coming back to meet hers. She put her hand on my cheek.
"To you maybe not, but to me it's a relief because right now standing in front of me is the care-free teenager you locked away all these years. I've got a good omen about tonight." Her hand dropped to my shoulder. "Ok dear stand right there…that's a girl smile!" Snap! The flash went off as I tossed her words around in my head.
"FLORA, LIBBY I WANT A PICTURE OF ALL THREE OF YOU!" She called and in second they were at my side. We interlocked our hands around each others waists. One… two… three Snap! "Ok Flora and Libby go get your husbands I want a picture of you with them and then I want a group photo."
First Libby and Jay, next Flora and Tank, then me and Ben for some reason. Followed by single photos and by the end of them the Cullens joined us. So then they took all their photos, then we did a photo with all of us, then just the girls, then just the guys. I think I can see spots. "Ok everyone that lives here I forgot the group photo." So we all posed for that.
"Here Maddy let's get you in that picture." Mom handed the camera over to Esme who then snapped the photo. Right as I thought it was all over "Eve let's get one of you and Edward." I knew that was going to end badly as soon as Mom said it.
"You would think we were all going to prom!" I remarked looking to lock eyes with Bella who was trying hard not to meet my gaze but once she finally did I rolled my eyes and mouthed O my god. She laughed as me and Edward glared at each other.
We slung our arms around each other shoulders and snap it was done. Yay! I playfully pushed him away. "Yuck I need another shower." All this was to make Bella feel better.
"I thought I smelled something." Edward replied and I smacked him again. All the guys had simple dress shirts and pants on. Edward returned to his spot by Bella lacing his arm with her waist. She was wearing what would be called a little black dress and heels and looked very uncomfortable. I think Edward wrapping his hand around her was to hold her in place.
"Ok well I don't know about you all, but I am going to this party." I walked to the front door and grabbed my keys. In seconds Edward was by my side.
"Hey Eve, Bell and I are going some place else I jut don't feel comfortable….."
"It's fine Ed completely understandable, but if you are really worried about her you should make her ditch the heels she looks ready to collapse." I interrupted laughing. He worries way too much.
"Ok will do. Have fun." He laughed waving goodbye.
"I plan to and same to you by the way." With a final wave I was in my car ready to go to the club.
The club on the outside an old run down building on the inside the hottest night club for fairy tale creatures. As you walk in there is a room were you check in to make sure no humans stumble upon this place by mistake. The two bouncers Mitch, and Spike dressed like two thugs that way any human that walked in would walk right back out.
I walked in there was no line for unlike human clubs our checks go much faster. "Well hello there little lady I don't believe I have seen you here before. How about after my shift you and I go out I can get you backstage for the band." Mitch flirted and I flipped my hair back.
"As kind of you as that is Mitch I believe I'll pass." He looked at me for a second before realizing who I was.
"Eve! Wow don't you look hot tonight." Spike lifted him self off from the leaning position he had on the wall and looked over.
"Damn girl! Not that you don't look hot all the time, but who knew you hid those legs inside those jeans." I smiled and as much as I hate to admit it I giggled.
"Aw you guys are sweet, but I came here to party on the inside so how about you let me in." I smile innocently flipping my hair over my shoulder again as they opened the door.
"Eve that offer is still open for later." Mitch calls over the music.
"Thanks Mitch I'll check in later." Walking in the music is blaring and the lights were low with colored spot lights moving across the crowd. I danced my way through to the bar and ordered a "Vampire's special." Which was a shot of blood with a mixture of alcohol.
I had been there about a half hour before a heard a voice next to me. " I would like a beer please." He told the bartender.
"I don't think you're of age!" I commented in a sing song voice.
"I don't think it matters." He replied in surprisingly the same sing song voice. " Don't you look amazing, Eve." He told me and I couldn't help, but tuck my hair behind my ear and smile.
"You don't look bad your self, and must I say for only knowing me for a day you're the only person who recognized it was me, Jake." He laughed leaning casual on the bar next to wear I was sitting.
"Not to hard to do considering I haven't met many people like you." I giggled again. Was he flirting with me? More importantly was I flirting back?
"So your friends here?" I asked trying to keep to conversation flowing. He took a sip of his beer and then replied.
"Nah, there doing ah something or another I'm not even sure. I just came because I need to get away for a little while. I mean after all this is my vacation." He explained.
"I see." I finished off the last of my drink before he suggested.
"Want to dance." Over the music I thought I had heard him wrong, but no because he took my hand and we went out to the dance floor.
The hours sped by as we dance one song after another. Each time our bodies getting closer to each other till we were almost grinding together. The clock struck three am and I could tell he was getting tired, but I think he wanted me to make the first move to leave.
"Hey it's getting late I think I better head home." I told him he nodded and said.
"Sure thing I'll walk you to your car." Again he gently took my hand and lead me out the door. We got to my car and I opened the door pausing I turned back around to face him.
"I had a really great time we should do this again." I said with one hand on the car door.
"Yea we should." His gaze drifted to something behind me.
"Well I guess this is good night." As I was about to step into my car he put his hand around my waist and kissed me. I was taken totally off guard by this, but didn't pull away. Instead I found my hands lacing around his neck. He was so warm his lips seemed to be melting mine and I was almost temped to open my eyes to see if there was stem forming between us, but restrained with fear that this moment would end.
My limbs became weak almost as if I were actually melting as his lips slowly pulling away from mine. My hands slide off his neck down his chest and to my sides. His face still inches from mine he whispered good night and released my waist.
I watched him walk away my dead heart fluttering as I my limbs finally gave way and I sunk into the enterer of my car. When I regained control over my body I put the keys into the ignition shut the door and drove dreamily home.
In fairy tales the Princess always gets her happy ending and tonight is when Hell's Princess fairy tale was beginning to write her happy ending.
