Chapter 7
A week went by it was November, Thanksgiving was around the corner. I could tell that Luna was planning something crazy and I mean really crazy, she was on the phone every time I went to look for her and always hanging up when I approached her. I acted like nothing was going on but I had my ears turned on, trying to find out what she was up to, I hope whatever it was it wouldn't end up getting Charlie upset.
I was making my way towards my room to get ready for another boring day when Luna pulled me and sat me on my bed and gave me this serious look it scared me.
"Bella my friend wants to visit me but she can't come all the way to Forks"
"You want us to go meet her somewhere and you want me to help you convince Charlie on letting us go" I guessed knowing where this conversation was going to lead
"Yes! Pretty please Bella, we won't do anything stupid I promise"
"How far are we going to go?"
"To Seattle, a car is going to arrive for us"
Luna looked at me with her pouty face, I wanted to say no to her but I knew she missed her friends. Yet I was looking at her like she was crazy, she planned all of this without asking Charlie for any permission and if she did and Charlie said no, would she sneak out and still go?
"Luna I'll help you" she hugged me; "But promise me you will do nothing to upset Charlie"
"I promise cross my heart hope to die put a needle in my eye"
What in the world was I getting my self into? None the less with Luna…
At dinner time we ate silently which creep Charlie out since Luna was always talking about something with him or me. I looked down at my plate avoiding Charlie's stare because I knew I would spill everything and Luna would get mad at me.
"Uncle C, I was wondering if you would let me go see my friend. She's going to be in Seattle for a two or three days and I want Bella to meet her"
"Can we please go dad, I want to meet her"
"I'm not sure"
"Oh pretty please Uncle C with sugar on top?"
"Yeah dad come on"
"Fine but be careful, don't pick up hitchhikers"
"We promise not to"
"I'll call you when we get there dad"
"When are you to planning to go?"
"Tomorrow" smiled Luna
I could tell Charlie was surprised even before his spoon hit his plate; he wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out. But what surprised me was that he chuckled and Luna laughed with him.
The next morning Charlie said bye and gave us a speech on what to do just in case something happened or what to do to defend ourselves. Luna just nodded but she was half asleep not really listening, I on the other hand was.
Two hours after Charlie left a black car stopped in front of our house and the driver knocked and announced that he was ready to leave at any time we pleased. We grabbed our two bags of luggage and got in the car. I can't remember how long the drive was but when we got there it was only sundown.
"Come on Bella, Raven and Rika should be in the living room"
Luna dragged me to this pretty big house; the driver was coming with our bags. When we got inside I stopped to look, the place was amazing, everything seemed to be in color gold. The decorations where like the one's you see on magazines, it reminded me a bit like the Cullen house everything was modern, up to date.
"Luna so nice to have you back"
"It's nice to be back"
Luna hugged a girl who seemed the same age as us; she had long black hair and beautiful hazel eyes almost golden when the light touched them she had tan skin. Another girl came in and launched at Luna, she had red orange hair just like Victoria but this girls eyes where a fiery brown.
"Hi!" the young girl
"Hi I'm Isabella Marie Swan but call me Bella"
"I'm Rika Roberts"
Rika came over and hugged me she must be at least three years younger than us, I liked her so hyper it reminded me of Alice.
"Hello Bella, I'm Raven Roberts"
"It's a pleasure to meet you,"
"It's nice to finally meet you" she said smiling
"You're house looks so beautiful"
"Thanks, this is just one of the many homes our parents own"
"Yes, we came with the excuse to check this home but truly we came to see Luna and meet the famous cousin" smiled Raven
"Your home looks wonderful, so…so" I said trying to find words to describe her home
"Gold" said Rika laughing
"Yeah" I laughed with her
Raven took us to her living room; it was amazing gold as well. I was even afraid to sit on the sofa everything looked perfect I didn't want to ruin it.
"Please sit down" said Raven as she took a seat she took a thin pipe stuck a cigarette and light it, she looked like an adult "Any one care to join me?" she asked
Luna grabbed another thin pipe a cigarette and lit it, she turned to look at me and put it down realizing that I was staring at them.
"Sorry Bella, I can turn it out if you don't feel comfortable"
"No, no you do your thing"
Luna and I where different, raised by different rules and morals but I wasn't going to ruin her fun and if these where the things that makes her who she is then I'll accept her. Besides she hasn't smoked in a while that's what she's told me.
"I have snacks, sweets, drinks. Would you like any? Why don't you just come with me?" Rika grabbed my arm and dragged me to the kitchen
Their kitchen was a golden yellow; there was two maids their cleaning and cooking. Rika sat me down in one of their high chairs and she say next to me as two trays where placed in front of us full of snacks and sweets.
"Don't these goodies look delish?"
"Yeah and taste good too" I said taking a bite out of one
"I hope you didn't get a bad impression of my sister and Luna, they only smoke once in a while. If they did that all the time, I would have done something to stop them"
"Luna has told me all the crazy things she's done and I see her more of a free spirit and I like that about her"
"You're so philosophical, how old are you?"
"I'm eighteen"
"Lucky you can drive already, I'm thirteen"
We sat there and ate most of the goodies after a while Luna and Raven came to join us and ate some of the goodies with us. Though they held a mischievous glint in their eyes and in their smiles.
"Luna what are you up to?"
"She can read you like a book" chuckled Raven
"I know" she said; "Bella since I wasn't here for your birthday I was wondering if you want to go celebrate it with us"
I stared at them wide eyed, they where letting me have a choice in the matter if I declined they would understand. In the other hand it brought memories of when I celebrated my birthday with the Cullens and how every thing went drastically wrong.
"Earth to Maribella…any one there?" Rika waved her hand in front of my face
"Uh…Maribella?" I said looking at Rika confused
"Yeah, part of your first name and middle name"
I smiled and nodded at Rika then turned to Luna; "Where exactly are we going?"
"Well I'm not sure you're going to like it much but just think about it okay" said Luna
"We are going to a nightclub" said Raven
I was going to open my mouth and say there was no way I was going to a nightclub, bad things happen in nightclubs. Like people using drugs, overdosing on alcohol which doesn't feel awesome the next morning. But before I could say any of this Raven held her index finger up to pause me.
"Before you say anything; I own the nightclub. There's never been any drug use in it and IDs are required at the entrance that way people who are younger than twenty-one get a wristband that signals no alcohol for the person"
"Yup, which I think sucks" said Rika
"What are you complaining about? Were the ones who should be" said Luna
"Okay let's go but with one condition"
"You name it Bella" said Luna grinning
"That I get to choose when we leave"
"That won't be a problem, we can get a booth all to ourselves that way no one gets uncomfortable" said Raven
Rika dragged me upstairs; apparently one of the rooms was their closet. It had sofas to sit and relax while in another corner there were full length mirrors in the other corner there where changing rooms. Alice would be very happy if she had a room like this one, I bet she would get along with Raven and Rika.
"What would you like to wear? Look around and pull out anything you like" said Rika going around looking as well
I looked around, these clothes where really nice but none seemed like the clothes Alice or Rosalie would wear. These weren't trademark clothes just plain normal, I wonder if they were rich why not buy trademark clothes like the Cullens.
"Did you find anything you like? Do you want help?"
"I need help; I've never been good with dresses and this kind of stuff"
"Are you looking for something outrageous or simple?"
"Simple" I said quickly
"I think I know what you could where that is simple but you'd look beautiful"
I saw Rika go over most of the racks of clothes until she smiled and pulled a pretty satin lilac cocktail bubble dress. It was simple but really elegant at the same time which I liked a lot. Rika pointed to the dressing rooms while she looked for her own dress. When I came out Rika was wearing a maroon patchwork strapless dress.
"You look really pretty Maribella"
"Thanks, so do you"
"Do you wear any make up? If yes, then there's a makeup counter on the other side of that door over there"
"No, I hate wearing makeup"
"I only wear eyeliner and lip gloss"
I followed her to the makeup room which was a bathroom as well, there I found Luna who was wearing a short silver sequin dress. Raven came in minutes later with a sexy gold cocktail dress. Every one put light make up, Rika grabbed the curling iron and began to do my hair I was going to tell her to stop but when I saw her shaking it with her fingers, curling it and shaking it again and finally grabbing it a pony tail I got curious.
"There what do you think?" asked Rika
"I really like it, thanks Rika" I said hugging her
"No problem" she hugged back
I waited for every one else to finish, Raven didn't do nothing to her hair since it was already straight. Rika held some of her hair back with a hair pin while Luna turned her hair wavy. We got out and their driver was waiting for us, the club was that far or was it the driver that was going at full speed.
When we went in, a young woman led us to a booth and drinks where brought over for us which where all different kinds of soda. Though I noticed that some where pretty clear which meant alcohol for Luna and Raven.
"Come on let's dance Bella" said Rika twirling around and giggling
I joined in though I wasn't very good at dancing but she didn't seem to mind so we danced who ever we could. Luna and Raven joined in a little later as well but only stayed for a little while because they left.
"Don't worry about them, they are going to go dance with guys. Would you like to go too?"
"No, I don't do good dancing with a guy"
"Oh they're playing merengue, do you know how to dance merengue?"
"No, sorry"
"It's really easy let me teach you, it's all about the hips"
Rika should me some steps and I followed, but when it came to partner part I tripped with my own feet and fell but I dragged Rika down with me.
"Sorry, are you okay? I'm kind of a klutz"
"Don't worry about it, I wasn't very good at the beginning either" she giggled
We started again but this time we went slower so I could keep up, I followed her every step. By the time the merengue music was over, I had learned some good steps. We hardly had any time to sit down when two males made their way inside our booth.
"I never thought I was going to see you again Rika"
"Well here I am Aaron" she said smirking
"Nice to know, I brought my friend Hayden"
"Bella this is Aaron and Hayden, guys this is my friend Isabella"
"Nice to meet you" I said
"Hey" said Aaron going back to Rika
"Nice to meet you Isabella" said Hayden shaking my hand; "Care to dance?"
I couldn't help but smile at him he was shy; Aaron must be the outgoing friend while he's the quiet one. I nodded and we danced, I had my back to his chest his hands where on top of my hips. Rika and Aaron came to join us and I copied Rika's movements because I had no idea how to dance to the music.
Rika kept giggling as Aaron whispered in her ear over and over again, I looked at Hayden to get some answers on what was so funny that they where laughing.
"They're just great friends, they dated but Rika couldn't stay here because of her studies"
"They seem like a great couple"
"They never did break up but they started to date different people"
We sat down and got drinks but we didn't notice that they had alcohol so after a while Hayden started to hiccup and I just laughed uncontrollably. Rika and Aaron stared at us like we where crazy people or something like that, then Rika laughed understanding what was wrong with us.
"They are drunk, one hiccups the other laughs"
"Shouldn't we join them?" smirked Aaron
They sat down with us and started to drink and like us Rika started to giggle for no apparent reason while Aaron just kept smirking and chuckling. It all changed though because in a blink of an eye Rika was on top of Aaron making out. I turned to Hayden and he had fallen asleep on my shoulder, I leaned o his head and closed my eyes not wanting to see what was going on across me.
"Oh look they fell asleep" said Luna
"Yeah well the other one is having her little fun" said Raven clearing her throat
Rika looked up and smiled at Raven before getting off Aaron and sitting next to him and fixed her hair and dress. Aaron fixed his shirt and waved at Raven and Luna.
"Come on, we are leaving" said Raven
Luna went over to Bella and picked her up; Aaron went over and got his friend Hayden, Raven grabbed Rika and motioned for them to leave.
