A/N: Here's my 9th chapter. Hope you enjoy!!
Bella P.O.V.
Edward walked up to me swiftly. "Bella. Can I talk to you for a minute. Alone"
"But I wanna dance" I whined.
"Now." He said
There was something in face that I couldn't quite identify,. Some emotion it seemed familiar. Was it pain? Neglect? Disbelief? Rejection? All four?
"Alright." I sad, getting caught off guard by his expression. I followed him outside the club.
He stared at me intently. "Bella," he said quietly "You didn't have to lie to me. I understand"
"W-what?" I stammered in incredulity "What are you talking about, Edward." I pained me to see his angel's features twisted in such grief.
"There are things I can't give you that he can," he said sadly. "I'll leave now. You won't ever have to think of me again. It will be like I never touched your life".
"Edward" I said The memories of that night crashing back again. I felt grief, disbelief, confusion, and was that anger? He promised he would never leave me again. He promised he would love me forever. I felt the ghost of the hole in my heart creeping back to haunt me. " I don't understand. You're scaring me."
"Bella" he sighed "You love him. It's okay. Emmett told me. I'll be okay"
Suddenly, realization hit me like a two ton weight. "Edward' I said, almost crying in relief. " I—that wasn't—you don't" I was stumbling to get him to understand. I hated hurting him like that. "Edward" I explained " I don't want Jacob like that. I want YOU, Edward. I only said that to convince Angela to come clubbing with us. I figured if she and Jacob paired up, we would be able to dance in peace."
A look of such relief and joy washed over his face that I was left breathless for a few seconds. And before I could smile, or even breath, his lips were crushed to mine. I accepted the kiss with enthusiasm until I heard a loud sound.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" came a strangled cry. I unwillingly broke apart, to investigate the unwanted noise.
Emmett was covering his eyes, running around in circles and screaming. "I'm scarred, I'm scarred for life . Agggghh" suddenly he ran into the bouncer, knocking the 6 foot man airborne. He went flying through the air and landed square on the grass, knocked out cold.
Edward and I laughed, and headed back into the club and I head Edward mutter something that sounded a lot like "Emmett will be Emmett". Edward met my eyes, and we began kissing again.
We walked into the club, hand in hand and we saw Alice standing over Jasper, who was sat in an uncomfortable looking chair.
"Stay right here, Jasper," said Alice "Unless you want me to tie you to this here chair" .
Jasper cowered and nodded meekly. "Yes, dear" he said.
Alice scurried off to find a dance partner. She came up to me and said "I know what will really et him" she said.
"What?" I asked "I'll dance with Jacob" she said.
"Ooohhh" I said, "Bella likey"
She giggled and ran off to fid Jacob.
Jasper P.O.V.
I watched Alice dance. Damn, this sucks. I hated seeing her dance with any old player she wanted. Suddenly, I noticed an exotic dancer dancing. She moved her hips in such a way it had me hypnotized. I saw a flash of snow white and a felt a sharp blow to the back of my head. Alice was sanding over my head and she had tied me to my chair in one swift movement.
"Alice" she swiftly pulled out a roll of duct tape. "Al—" whoops. Shouldn't have said anything
I looked back over at the dancer to see she was pointing at me and giggling. I looked away, embarrassed and I saw Roxie making her way over, swinging her hips.
"Hey, Tiger" she said. I felt an immense amount of lust coming from her. Gross.
"Does your girl don't treat you right' she asked, leaning over a little to far and pushing her artificial uh—chest into my face, while making a show of uniting me. I squeezed my eyes shut and suddenly I heard a yelp and a low hiss. I opened my eyes to see Alice standing above Roxanne with one her wedged on her fake chest and a murderous expression on her face.
"Step away from my man" she hissed and in one smooth motions she whipped the duct tape off of my mouth and kissed me harshly.
Alice P.O.V.
"Am I forgiven?" he asked hopefully as I pulled away. He looked so sweet I almost caved, but I held strong.
"No," I said matter-of-factly "I just wanted to get that whore away from you"
His face fell and I walked away, heading towards Jacob. I quickly stood on my tip toes, pulling him down by his shirt and whispered my plan in his ear. He shrugged " I have nothing better to do" he reasoned.
The song "Buttons" by the Pussy Cat Dolls came on. I started dancing with him and I was surprised how agile he was for a dog. We ground together in perfect time to the music and I glanced over at Jasper and he looked stricken. All of a sudden I felt the urge to kiss this dog to oblivion. The lust overwlmed any other emotion I felt and Jacob's over heated body was everywhere. I reached up to kiss him, but Jacob beat me to it. We kissed fervently for a few minutes before I felt a rage and pain like never before. Suddenly, I realized these emotions were not mine.
"JASPER!!" I screamed.
I ran over to him and said. "I guess I just can't leave you alone" I untied him and dragged him to the dance floor.
Bella P.O.V.
Edward and I had been dancing for a good 2 hours when I recognized the song that came on. It was Nelly's 2002 hit "Hot in Herre" I turned around and as it said "it's getting hot in here, so take of all your clothes" I saw Rose dancing in time with strip down to her slip and stilettos. I was shocked at first, but then I figured it couldn't hurt "Mission: seduce Edward". I Slowly started unbuttoning and unzipping my dress and stripping down. Alice quickly followed. Angela looked over and saw what were doing and looked stunned, stopping dancing all together. She then got a mischievous grin on hr face and started unclasping her dress revealing a pale peach slip. Kylee was last, dropping her geometric patterned dress to the floor and throwing it at Embry, where it fell to the floor at his feet, he was too busy gaping to watch. It was then I thought to look at the rest of the guys. Emmett was whooping and hollering, Jasper was seriously lusting for Alice, Quil was dancing with some girl with bright red hair and pale skin. I knew it couldn't be Victoria because I caught a peep of her green eyes and she was dancing with a werewolf, but still, I involuntarily trembled though the room was blazing with body heat. I looked to the end of the line and I saw Edward, string at me with his mouth open and his eyes wide. For one he seemed speechless, motionless, at a loss of what to do. I smiled, knowing I was the one who made him loose his perfect composure. I looked little further and I could see him with the exact same expression as Edward on his face. But instead of smiling, I scowled. Jacob, Jacob, Jacob. Would he never get over me? As I was thinking this I felt strong hands tighten around my waist.
"I couldn't stand their thoughts" he was saying as he kissed a trail up my neck and behind my ear. "You should hear what they're thinking" he said, between kisses. 'It's absolutely sinful. Especially Jacob. And some other guy. He sounded familiar. But no matter. I have you now."
I looked and saw that Emmett had rushed to Rosalie, Jasper had rushed over o Alice, and Embry to Kylee. I looked at Angela who still had no partner and Jacob, who was staring at us with a murderous expression. I looked at him over Edward's shoulder, who was still kissing my exposed shoulders with fervent admiration and mouthed "go dance with Angela". He rolled his eyes, but made his way over to her. He stood behind her and danced with her and she ground against him, her back to his front (was that MY Angela?).Finally the song ended and the D.J. came onto the inter com.
"Hey, Hey Seattle, this is D.J. B.J. and we are gonna have a short break. So get y'all some martinis and kick back and we'll get back to par-tay in 15 minutes. See ya, folks!!"
Jacob P.O.V.
I spun the girl I was dancing with around. Angela her name was. And the moment I looked into her sky blue eyes, I saw wonders. Bella, once the love of my life quailed in comparison to this beauty. I once thought I had felt the strongest of loves, but now I see that I was wrong. Know understand better the compassion between Bella and Edward. I was felling right now in the middle of this crowded dance floor with sweaty, ugly people all around me. I now knew why she chose him over me. Whoa. Back up a second. Who knew I could feel so much in one second.
"Thanks for dancing with me," she said, slightly breathless, but still sincerely "I was feeling kind of left out".
"I know exactly how you feel" I said "It can be hard when everyone's paired uop like that."
"I know. I sometimes felt that way around Bella and Edward. They're so close"
"Me, too" I admitted. I wanted to tell her right then and there how much I loved her, but I knew that scare her off.
"I have to go find my dress" she said sheepishly.
"What's the hurry" I asked, waggling my eyebrows in a goofy way
She giggled and blushed, but hurried off anyway. Damn. I rushed off to find Bella.
So…Jacob is FINALLY over Bella, and Bella and Edward got a little dancing in. With OUT Bella tripping and ending up in the E.R. wow, these Cullen girls are really having a good influence on her! This was a good long chapter, so please reward me and R&R. Luv ya foreva if you do!!
