BPOV
On Thanksgiving Day, I knew I was in for an afternoon of complete hell. Yesterday Alice spent 2 ½ hours alone making sure she had all the "beauty utensils," shoes, accessories, and a plethora of dresses set up for easy accessibility when we prepared for the dinner. I hopped in the shower and after obediently sat at Alice's vanity. She blow dried my hair and curled it with her expensive salon-quality curling iron.
My hair was pulled up intricately with the curls twisted around into and elegant bun. She put a translucent powder on my eyelids followed by a light, shimmering eye shadow. A little black liner and peachy lip gloss and I was done. I saw my dress finally for the first time and gasped. It was a relatively simple dress, yet elegant all in itself. The bodice was brown silk, with thin straps, while the rest was a darker brown fabric that flowed to accentuate my hips. With that I wore gold strappy heels that weren't too impossible to walk in.
Rosalie wore her hair long and wavy, and her dress was gold and showered in sequins. With that she also wore gold heels, but her heel beat mine by a good two inches. Alice wore a cute red dress that cinched at her waist and A-lined from there. (A/N: All dresses on profile.) With that she wore black pumps and gold bangles. We all decided to go with nude tones for our make up, so we looked very natural. The three of us waited casually on the couch but when a knock came at the door, we all sprung up to get the door. This caused us to simultaneously crash into each other and fall on the floor with a big thud. We burst into a fit of giggles when Emmett's voice yelled. "Are you girls okay in there?"
I stood up and fixed my hair and dress while Alice and Rose did the same. Alice finished first and strolled over to the door. When she opened it, we saw Edward fixing his hair, Emmett checking his breath, and Jasper dusting off his pants. They all stopped when they realized we were watching them. The guys all looked nice, in ties, sports jackets, and vests, though I wasn't used to seeing them like this. Edward took my arm first and led me down the hallway. All six of us piled into an elevator and made polite conversation. When we stepped outside there were three sleek black cars with a man in a suit standing in front of all of them.
When the guys pushed us towards our own respective cars Alice and Rosalie squealed. I looked up at Edward with a puzzled expression. "Rentals," he said with a grin. The driver opened the back seat door for us and I heard Alice and Rose squealing again. I sighed and scooted in with Edward next to me as the driver shut the door. Edward and I rode in silence until we pulled up to the banquet hall. The driver, Lassie, let opened the door and Edward climbed out. I scooted to the door and Edward offered me his hand as I stepped out. I took it and blushed, and then he led me in to the building by placing his hand on the small of my back. My back felt like it was on fire, and I frowned slightly when he removed his hand. He pulled out my chair for me then sat to my left. Not a minute later the chair to my right scraped obnoxiously across the floor. I looked up to see none other than Emmett.
Rose just stood there with a scowl on her face, arms crossed and tapping her foot. "What Babe?" Emmett asked, completely baffled by her sudden change of mood.
"Pull out her chair Em," I whispered. All he said was 'oh' as he scrambled up to pull out her chair. She took a seat and smiled sweetly.
"Thanks Bella," she said, turning her gaze to me. Edward and I started laughing and we were joined in by Jasper and Alice who took seats next to Rose. "Hey Eddipoo," a nasally voice cooed. I turned my head to see Lauren taking the seat next to Edward. My Edward. Whoa Bella, what are you saying? You guys aren't even a couple. Edward replied with a week "hi" and turned his attention to me.
"Bella, you truly look stunning tonight." He said it embellishing every word, causing Lauren to huff. Throughout dinner Edward flirted heavily with me, resulting in me possibly having permanently stained my cheeks pink. Emmett teased me relentlessly and it seemed the whole table was focused on me. Literally every guy on the team had their turn taking jabs at me. We were all laughing so hard that there was food all over the tablecloth from guys spitting as they laughed. Gross. As desert was being served, the dance floor lit up and the DJ began playing some up tempo songs. I saw Lauren grip Edward's thigh and she began rubbing her hand up and down it getting farther up each time. I stood up suddenly, my chair scraping like Emmett's. Everyone looked at me as I took Edward's hand.
"You know what? I really feel like dancing," I said, ripping Edward out of his seat and pulling him to the dance floor. The funny thing is, I really didn't want to dance. The DJ started playing this dance party remix called the Cha Cha Slide, so it really required no skill. I just had to follow the instructions.

Edward and I did the moves flawlessly; I mean they were so simple. But it was really fun to do. Soon couples started pouring onto the dance floor, and it became packed. Everyone was laughing and doing the Cha Cha Slide. When it ended everyone applauded, then Touch my Body by Mariah Carey began playing. All the guys grabbed their girls against them and their bodies flowed together to the music. I saw Edward make his way over to me but Lauren stepped in front of him. He stared at me while she tried to grind up against him.
I had a disgusted look on my face, and Edward brushed her off and walked over to me. My looked turned into one of shyness, and Edward pulled me to his body. He placed his hands on my hips as we swayed to the music, grinding softly. I couldn't help but think of our first date and the strip club. When that song ended, Swing by Savage came on. All the girls started swiveling their hips seductively, and we all dropped down and "backed it up" when it said to.
I looked up to see Lauren standing in front of me with a cake balanced in one of her cheaply manicured hands. "How could you ever think that Edward liked you? You're just an ugly pig!" She squealed. The music suddenly stopped and everyone was watching us. A single tear came down my face. Am I really that ugly? "You're disgusting and need to get out of here before I throw up just looking at you." With that she plunged the cake into my face, and down the front of my dress. Everyone was silent. No, I wasn't going to let her win.
I slowly swiped my finger across my faced and stuck it in my mouth. It was tasty. "Yum, chocolate," I said. "Anyone want cake?" I asked nonchalantly.
"I do!" Emmett squealed, pushing his way through the crowd. He licked the side of my face and I wrinkled my nose. "Gross Emmett!" I yelled. He just shrugged and took more icing off my face with his finger. Edward came up and stuck his hand down my shirt. I looked at him horrified until he took his hand out with a smirk. "Sorry Bella," he said smugly. "The biggest piece happened to be down your dress." I cracked a smile and looked in his hand. It was true; he had a huge hunk of chocolate in his hand. Before he could think, I took a hunk of his piece of cake and threw it in his face.
"Food fight!" Somebody yelled. All the guys and a few girls ran over to the table and grabbed all of the pastries off of it. Food was flying for ten minutes before we got kicked out. We were laughing all the way home. As we stood outside my dorm, I gave Emmett a huge hug and thanked him for eating food off my face. As strange as that sounds. He laughed and left with Jasper while Alice and Rose hit the showers, leaving just me and Edward. I thanked him for eating cake off of me too, and he chuckled and said it was his pleasure, of course. He still had chocolate all over him, which really turned me on. I wrapped my arms around his neck and licked icing off his neck. I made my way to his lips before giving him a little savory kiss, and sucked on his bottom lip before releasing him. He was holding his breath, and went to grab me when I ducked out of his arms and ran to the bathroom. "Nigh Edward!" I called. He stood there shocked, then stared at me evilly. I took a shower and went to bed, sighing happily. I think I'm in love.
A/N: YAY! Oh my gosh, I updated this story. My computer sucks and my internet crashes every day. I take forever to update and I'm sorry. But, I decided to update this story instead of my other one. So be happy. But please read and review my other story! I'll try and update it when I come back from break, because I'm going out of state and will be out of reach of a computer. To get the next chapter dedicated to you, you need to answer some questions that I want to know. What is OOC? And OC? And Lemons/Lemony? I mean I'm clueless. Oh and what is AU and AH? Also, what does it mean for people to have beta? Answer these and you'll be in the spotlight next chapter!
