A/N: I am so sorry for the delay in this chapter. Real life reared its ugly head in my household we lost my 17 month old nephew in March. It was a shock and I pray no one ever has to go thru that. Also we just past the 2 year mark of loosing my dad I April. Now with all that past I am hoping to get back into this story. I hope I haven't lost any of my readers, and if I have I understand. Again thanks to those who were waiting for this….
Also I do not own these characters just borrowing them…
Chapter 9 Misunderstandings and Mistakes
BPOV
It had been 2 months since the night Edward kissed me senseless. It was also the night I felt my heart break into once again by him. I remember him telling Em it was just a friendly kiss and it meant nothing to him, Oh and that dinner he asked me to was the family dinners they shared together every month. Yeah I was devastated and there was no way I would ever let him see me cry. I did well till I walked into my apartment. I cried myself to sleep that night just like I had so many times before when I was younger. I couldn't believe how silly it was for me to think he could ever be interested in me, dull brown eyes and mousey face. No he was more of a blonde hair, blue eyed bombshell type. I woke the next morning with a clear head, I was going to be Edwards's friend, nothing more. I could do that.
I remember telling Alice how stupid I felt about the whole thing, and she was completely acting weird about the whole thing, she was sad about something and wouldn't tell me exactly what, and Rose, Oh my sweet Rose, she was ready to beat ass. I had to beg her to just leave it alone, it wasn't worth it, I mean you can't make someone love you.
Which brings us to the present, it was a Friday night and for once I was not working at the bar. There was some new club opening in Port Angeles and we were going to check it out. Alice, Rose and myself were going to go on up and the guys were coming a couple hours later, Em wanted to make sure Ben could handle a Friday night on his own. I knew Ben was more than capable but Em was a worry wart.
We spent the evening getting ready at my place. Alice was wearing a pink strapless dress that fit her curves to a "T" she looked good, and Rose had on this little red top with her black skinny jeans and red heels, Em was going to croak when he sees her, and I was wearing a midnight blue silk dress that hit just above the knee and was off on the right shoulder, and some as Alice would call them some "Fuck –Me " gold heels. I just prayed I didn't need an ER before the night was over.
"Earth to Bella" Alice sang from the front seat. "Hey what are you thinking about you seem like your off in another world".
"Nothing, just thinking, you know about stuff" I said with a smirk.
"Girl I've noticed it to, what's wrong?" Rose asked.
"Nothing really guys just enjoying the ride is all, this is the first time I have been out of Forks since I've been back."
"I wonder what kinds of hotties are going to be in here tonight?" Rose said while looking at me in her rear view mirror with a smirk on her face.
"Oh this is going to be so fun, Bella, I mean you can look and touch, you have to let me help you find a man. Please, Please, Please?" Alice wined looking back at me with her puppy dog eyes.
"Alice, come on, I just want to dance and drink, you know have fun I can do that without a man, why do you think I need a man anyway, I can have fun and be single and with no strings attached, that sounds really go to me right now…"
"Fine be a party pooper but don't come to me wishing you hooked up with one of these delicious looking guys standing in line"
"Sure Alice I won't blame you for my lonely love life" I said sarcastically.
We got out of the care at the club, bright neon lights lit up the name "Blood Moon". There was a line wrapped around the place. I was walking to the back of the line when I was pulled so hard my arm was almost pulled out of the socket.
"Good Lord Alice what the hell are you doing?"
"Do you really think we are going to stand in that line Bella, Really come on."
I looked at Rose who was just standing there looking at me like I had something hanging out of my nose.
"What" I asked narrowing my eyes at her.
"Boy I dropped the ball when I was trying to teach you what I have taught you didn't I?" Rose just laughed and turned to walk to the front of the line.
I heard men whistling and doing catcalls at us as we sashayed to the front of the line. I could have died of embarrassment right there, I was hoping the sidewalk would swallow me up and I would have been out of my misery.
"Hey there girls where do you think your going?" of course the big bouncer guy was going to stop us. I couldn't wait to yell "DUH" in their faces.
"Well you see we just thought you would be kind enough to maybe let us thru, you know were wearing these heels and our feet are starting to hurt." Alice said to him with a pout and puppy dog eyes.
"Yeah and" Rose stepped up to him to whisper in his ear, but of coarse the whole front of the line heard her "you see my friend back here, well she is kind of sad, we were hopping to cheer her up you know maybe find her a man" she looked at me pleading with me to play along. I just stood there looking absolutely mortified at those two, I think I might have to kick there asses before the night was over.
He just stood there looking at me with a look on his face I couldn't quite decipher.
"Go now before I change my mind, and have fun." I looked at his name tag, his name was "Big D", seriously, I walked by him and he smacked me on my ass. I turned around about to go off on him when I felt two sets of hands pulling my thru the door, the whole time he was just smirking and he winked at me, he had the nerve to wink.
"Bella come on do you want to get us kicked out of here as soon as we walk thru the door." Rose asked
"No but seriously did you see him, I mean come on why would he degrade a woman like that?"
"Oh come on seriously Bella I can think of things other men do a hell of a lot worse than that, which degrades women a lot more than that." Alice said Rose sucked in a breath and Alice paled when she realized what she said.
"Shit Bella, I didn't mean t..." I stopped her before she could finish her sentence.
"I know just drop it please, were here to have fun right, then let's have fun I really need a drink right now."
"Come on girls lets go get our drink on and find us a good spot to scope out the guys." Rose said as she put her arm around me and lead me towards the bar. Alice looked like she just lost her puppy, I felt bad she was feeling like that.
"Alice, come on really its ok, just forget about it and help me find a man." I said with a smile.
"Ok" She perked up then.
We got over to the bar and the bartender asked us what we wanted, we ordered 3 shots of Tequila and 3 Sex on The Beaches.
We held up our shots and made a toast.
Rose "To Great Sex"
Alice "To Love"
And lastly me "To Friends and the Future"
We downed the shots and slammed the glasses on the bar. We walked over towards the stage and found a pub table. They had a live band playing and they were really good. We were looking around at the faces and the drunken people dancing, knowing I was going to look like these fools after a couple more drinks. We drank and talked about the people. After a couple more shots and drinks, the band started playing our song, I couldn't help the smile that lit up my face when Alice and Rose squealed and pulled me from my bar stool to go dance.
My Girlfriend's a dick magnet My Girlfriend's gotta have it
She's hot, can't stop, up on stage, doing shots, Tip the man he'll
Ring the bell, get her drunk she'll scream like hell.
Dirty girl, gettin' down, dance with guys from outta town.
Grab her ass, actin' tough. Mess with her, she'll fuck you up.
No one really knows if she's drunk or if she's stoned, but she's
Comin' back to my place tonite!
We were grinding and singing, loudly I might add……..
She likes to shake her ass she grinds it to the beat
She likes to pull my hair when I make her grind her teeth
I like to strip her down she's naughty to the end
You know what she is, no doubt about it
She's a bad, bad girlfriend!
Of course we were shaking our asses and singing, I was totally getting with it, Rose was in front of me and Alice was in back as we danced and shouted out the song..
Red thong, Party's on, Love this song, sing along.
Come together, leave alone, see you later back at home
No one really knows if she's drunk or is she's stoned
But she's coming back to my place tonite. I say
No one really knows just how far she's gonna go,
But I'm gonna find out later tonite
She likes to shake her ass she grinds it to the beat
She likes to pull my hair when I make her grind her teeth
I like to strip her down she's naughty to the end
You know what she is, no doubt about it
She's a bad, bad girlfriend! ……
I don't remember the rest of the song, I was drunk and I didn't care, it felt good to let go and have fun. It was me and my girls and that was alright.
After the song ended we made our way back over to the table. Rose still had half her drink and Alice was nursing hers, but not me I needed a refill.
"Hey girls I'm going to go get me another drink, you need anything?"
"Naw, I'm good" Rose said
"No I still got some, I'm fine right now besides the guys should be getting here soon anyway" Alice said.
Oh yeah right I all most forgot they have their men coming, then what, I know Edward will be here and I really didn't want to see him right now, I know it's not his fault but damnit I want that I want someone to hold me and run his fingers thru my hair, I want Edward was what I wanted but I couldn't have him. I must have been in my thoughts when the bartender asked me what I wanted.
'I'll have another shot of Tequila and another Sex on The Beach, Thanks" I said while listening to the band.
"Bella, Bella swan, is that you?" I heard someone hollering over the music. I turned around to see none other than Tyler Crowley walking up to me.
"Tyler, O My God is that you?" I asked, my eyes were about to pop out of my head boy had he changed from that scrawny little boy to this spectacular man I was staring at now. The years were defiantly good to him, he was almost 2 feet taller and was more muscle. He was a beautiful creature.
He walked over and grabbed me up in a hug. And it felt real good to be in someone's arms again. He was warm and huge, he lifted me with no problem.
"Damn Bell's you look WOW, I mean just WOW." He said while he looked me over. And of course I blushed.
"Look at you, Tyler your buff, you look great." I said and he pulled me up to him again.
We moved over to the side of the bar and talked for it seems like hours. We talked bout what we had been up to for the past 5 years and what we were doing now. It felt great to have someone to talk to and he actually listened to me.
I was apparently to engrossed in our conversation to notice the guys getting there.
EPOV
After the night I kissed Bella, I noticed she was a little stand offish to me, we still ate lunch and talked when we were out with the group, or when we were at her house for dinner when she had us all over. But we never really talked about what had happened. The kiss was great, she felt so good in my arms, I never wanted her to leave, but of course Em had to bust my bubble. I froze, I didn't know what to say when we looked up at them they were all staring at us and I was afraid Bella was uncomfortable. I know I sounded cold and mean but I wanted to talk to her, see where we were going together before I said anything to them.
Tonight was the night I was going to tell Bella how I felt, this had went on to long, I needed her now more than ever.
We walked into the club, leave it to Em to know a guy named "Big D".
I looked around and spotted Alice waving like a banshee trying to get our attention.
"Hey guys look there they are, lets go see if they need anything from the bar before we go get something." I told them.
"Yeah sounds good" Jasper said
"Sure I can't wait to see what my Rosy has on anyway, I would hate to have to kick some guys ass for looking at her." Em said as we walked their way. And I would be lying if I said I wasn't the least bit anxious to see what Bella had on.
We got thru the crowd and found they had a pub table and a good spot to check out the area.
When we got there I noticed Bella wasn't there. I also noticed Em was about to suck Roses face off. I could have went the rest of the night not seeing that.
"Hey Jazzy, bout time you guys got here, we were wondering if you got lost?" Alice said as she hugged Jasper and me.
"No, we just got held up by Ed here, some reason he was trying to tame his hair." Jasper smirked my way.
"Alice, where's Bella, didn't she come with you guys?"
"Yeah, she's at the bar. She ran into Tyler and they have been talking for a while now. I don't think I have seen her laugh like that in a while." Rose said, looking at me with a knowing look.
I looked over at the bar and saw them, and she did look happy. He had his hand on the small of her back and she was leaned in like she was listening to something he was saying. Ok, I thought to my self, there just talking.
I barely heard the band playing, or Em and Rose and Jasper and Alice talking about their night, all I could concentrate on was the woman that I was in love with, with another mans arms around her, where mine should have been.
