Chapter 10

Alice's POV

When I entered the room there was Bella drinking a chocolate milkshake and it looked like she was doing some homework. She was so responsible unlike me—I had so much homework and here I was about go leave again but this had to be done—I was still a little uncertain about all of this but I would trust Tanya's opinion she seemed like a nice person. Plus, there was some part of me that thought that maybe Edward did like her plus it made sense—Edward's behavior, his brawl with Tyler, his obsession….

"Hi how did it go with Jasper?" asked Bella as she glanced up at me.

"Great like always" I hugged her and then sat down on my bed and began tracing patterns on my quilt. I was trying to think of a way that Edward and Bella could be together under my supervision of course to see if Edward was really interested in her or not. I smiled "I was wondering if tomorrow night you wanted to go to a club, you know the group it'll be fun"

"On a school night?" she asked.

"We're not in high school anymore Bella we can do whatever we want. We're grown ups now" I said smiling then just in case she was going to say no I brought out my puppy eyed look that I had gotten from Edward when I was a child "Please come with us"

Bella smiled and I knew I had won! "Fine I'll go"

"Yay!" I grabbed my cell phone "I'm going to text everyone else then"

I quickly texted the message Club tomorrow? The whole group? You in?

"Okay" she said as she flipped through a few pages. I see she was really into her studies but clothes were always more important then school at least to me. So I got up and grabbed her book, she looked at me confused.

"Get your jacket we're going for a late night shopping spree" I said grabbing mine from the closet and putting it on.

"What? Oh, no Alice please I'm tired let me just stay here just get me whatever and I'll wear it"

I smiled mischievously I knew what Edward liked in a girl so that should make this process a whole lot easier of course I wasn't going to let Bella dress all slutty either but just really sexy. So Edward could fall for her even more then he already has "Really? Anything huh? Okay I'll get Rosalie to come with me then" I said handing her back her book.

"Wait!" She yelled at me as I began walking towards the door. She better not change her mind or I'm going to have to drag her there tomorrow.

"Yes" I turned around slowly and I could see the panic in her eyes; I smiled at her warmly, trying to comfort her as much as possible.

"Remember that I'm your best friend and that you love me, so don't get anything too crazy now"

"Of course not" I said innocently "I'll be back in 2 hours"

"Yeah….okay….Have fun" said Bella rolling her eyes. She knew me well enough to know that I was going to get whatever I wanted for her.

"I definitely will Buh-hye for now" I giggled and left the room again.

I walked upstairs to Rosalie's room I didn't even bother to knock thank God Emmett was not with her she looked extremely tired though. She was lying in her bed just watching television that was a miracle she usually was with Emmett all the time. Oh yeah she had that thing today…

"Hi" I said as I lied down in bed with her "I have something to tell you"

"Spill" she said with a small smile. So I quickly began telling her everything Tanya told me as I said each word Rosalie's eyes opened wider and wider. I was pretty sure soon they would pop.

"So I need you to go shopping with me and we have to get Bella something that'll make Edward die" I said with a smile.

"Wow" said Rosalie "Edward and Bella? Edward really likes Bella?....I swear these are the last days of the world, everything is crazy"

"I know tell me about it. I never expected this one but Bella is special I guess she could make Edward change"

"I guess so…" she sighed "But how about if Tanya is lying?"

"Please don't say that I'm trying to believe in her I need to believe in her…..Edward has been acting pretty strange lately"

"I don't know about all of this but I'll help and if she's lying and has teamed up with Edward I'll murder both of them for you"

"Thanks" I smiled at her "You're the best!"

"I know" said Rosalie smiling "Well let's go I really want to get some sleep"

"Okay"

We both left to the mall were I found the most hottest thing for Bella to wear.

Edward's POV

Yes, this is awkward here I was Emmett eating pizza in complete silence. I didn't know what to talk about with him……I remembered the good old days when Em and I used to be really close but then Em moved and I entered high school and we drifted apart. Sometimes I was tempted to being nice to him, trying to mend the friendship but I chickened out.

"So Eddie who are you sleeping with now?" asked Em.

I looked at him and smiled a little "No one actually. No one has gotten my interest"

"Liar! You're still having sex with Tanya she was in your room come on don't tell me you guys were just talking because I don't believe that bull"

"Fine Tanya and I still have sex but we are just friends"

"How about if one of the many girls you have sex with gets pregnant? Have you ever thought about that?"

"Is Rose pregnant?"

"What? No! Where did you get that from?"

"Because you and Rose have a lot, a lot of sex I mean you guys can't keep your hands off of each other for a minute so I don't know why you're talking to me about this"

Emmett glared at me "God sometimes it's really impossible to talk to you, you know that"

"I know" I took a bite of my pizza. Then quietly added "I use protection all the time but if a girl was ever to get pregnant I would be scared shitless and………I wouldn't know what to do."

Emmett nodded "I know being a father that's a pretty big thing it makes it even worse when you don't even like the girl, or can stand her."

"Yeah" I said quietly. Emmett and I phone buzzed at the same time. We both picked it up

"Hmm" said Emmett. I read mine and my mouth just dropped open, didn't Alice just tell me to screw myself and now she was inviting me to go with the group which includes Bella to the club. Who the hell understands chicks? "Did Alice just sent you a text?" asked Emmett.

I nodded "Yep"

"Well are you going to go?" I shrugged my shoulders even though I knew that I was going to go, I would be an idiot if I missed my change to be with Bella maybe then I could ask her to the Ball. "You should go you know it must've been very hard for Alice to ask you to go with us….it's not like she can stand you."

"I know no one can stand me because I am a dick you don't need to remind me……but yeah I'll go" I said as I got up from the stool with my plate of pizza in the hand. "I'll talk to you later"

The following morning, I was walking towards my first class when Michael intercepted me. I gave him a-what-the-hell look and tried to go past him but the guy grabbed my shoulder

"We need to talk" said Michael.

I smiled "We have nothing to talk about Michael and I suggest you stop touching me before I break your nose."

He quickly put his hand down "We had a deal. You broke it……Mike just told me that I'm not allowed to join the fraternity because I don't have the qualities for a member."

"You don't" I told him calmly "You see I was testing you to see if you had enough character to stand up for your relationship with Miss Swan or if you would allow someone to buy you off. Unfortunately you chose to be the dick and give up something so beautiful and sweet so now you must pay the consequences…"

"You lied to me!" he growled. "If I would have known I would've chosen Bella"

"Well too bad you didn't now you lost her"

"We'll see about that."

"She'll never forgive you"

"Again we'll see if she doesn't" then he stormed away from me. Great, now I had to worry about this idiot trying to get back with her Bella better be smart enough to say no to him.

Later on in the day, I was walking towards my HPE Class when suddenly I heard my voice being yelled at their top of their lungs. I turned around and saw Mike.

"EDWARD!!" yelled Mike as he sprinted towards me.

"What the hell Newton?" I asked him. He was all sweaty and disgusting and he looked like he had run a marathon or something.

"Three guys so far want to ask your girl out to the Ball" said Mike in between breaths "I ran as fast as I could when I got out of my class I would've texted you but my phone died."

"Which ones?" I asked in game mode. No one was going to steal Bella away from me, she was mine. Whoa did I just say mine? That's a little possessive Edward now, she's……..awe what the hell she is mine until I don't want her anymore.

"Some guy named Riley apparently he's in your HPE class, Vince Garter, and Henry, the guy you sent to the hospital last year."

"Henry" I repeated. "He wants to go out with Bella? He's only doing it to make me furious I guess I'll just worry about him the other guys pay them off give them whatever they want so they won't ask her to the Prom."

"Pay them off with what?"

"Favors"

"Favors" repeated Mike like if he didn't understand what I was saying

"Papers, Exams Answers, Money, everyone has a price okay now go do it now!" I said loudly and clearly for him to understand.

Mike nodded "Yeah Edward" then he ran away again. I walked towards HPE and changed quickly so that I could see Bella. I jogged around the Gym but I didn't see her but then I saw Angela she was playing volleyball with a group of people and finally I saw Bella she was in the corner with some tall guy that had the whole punk image going on. He had to be Riley.

"Can I play with you guys?" I asked as I strolled into the courts. The girls smiled at me obviously I was going to play with them.

"Sure" said one of the two guys "Cullen you can serve first"

"Ok" The guy threw me the ball and I catched it. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and there was Bella still with the Riley character talking…they seemed to be really into whatever they were talking about so I threw the ball softly towards Bella. It her in the leg, she looked down at it and then back at me. Wow. She just went straight to me, that was very nice for her. It could've been someone else or an accident…..I shook my head

"Hi Bella" I said in a friendly tone "We're going to play now so could you please step into the formation? Thank you." I didn't even wait for her to answer just turned back around to look at the rest of the team who was looking at me very curiously.

"Cullen" she said in a sweet voice

"Yes" I said not facing her. I was afraid I was going to get slammed with a ball again. So I waited, but she didn't say anything then I smelled her scent of strawberries and freesias behind me. I gulped; What was she doing?

"You forgot something" she whispered in my ear.

"Huh?" I asked stupidly and turned around. She gave me a small smile and handed me the ball then patted my shoulder

"Edward you really suck at volleyball last time I checked the people on the other side of the net were the enemies not me" she said "or the guy I was talking too"

She walked towards Angela. I sighed and then set the ball to serve. I smiled when I saw that Riley was on the other side. God loved me! I hit the ball with as much force as I could and……..oh yes it hit him straight in the gut that's what he gets for not paying attention and for ogling my Bella. Some people laughed and Riley blushed

"Whoops sorry guess you should pay attention" I told him. Riley glared at me but then smiled mischievously at me. I guess war was on. The game continued like this….any chance I got the ball would be spiked to any part of his body and most of the time it was a success. Bella kept shaking her head but I could see she thought it was somewhat funny because I saw a smile playing in her lips even though she tried to look disappointed in me every time our eyes met. After the game, Bella came up to me (Yes me, for the first time it was her after me!)

"You didn't have to hit him so hard Cullen" said Bella softly "Who knew? You were the jealous type" she said in a teasing voice. But I couldn't help but wonder was I jealous?

I laughed "What can I say? You're just too interesting for me to share with anyone else"

"Actually I wanted to thank you Riley was being a little creepy"

"What do you mean?"

"Like he knew a lot of stuff about me, it's like he was stalking me or something and he kept putting his hand on mine or touching my shoulder but it just felt weird and creepy….Angela says that's he's a weirdo so you pretty much saved my life."

"I did?"

"Yeah the kid is scared to death now with all the hits you gave him I'm sure he won't even glance at me ever again."

"Well then I think that deserves some type of gift"

"Like what?" she asked with a huge smile on her face. Was she flirting with me?

"I'm sorry are you playing along with me?....." I asked her cautiously "Why?"

"I'm just in a good mood Edward that's all…….I got to go meeting Alice and Rosalie to go out to some restaurant place that they wanted to try."

"Right have fun then"

"Yep"

"Wait….can I get a kiss on the cheek for saving you from your stalker?"

Bella's face turned serious but then she sighed "Fine" she kissed me on the cheek so quickly that I barely felt her lips brush my cheeks but that was all it took to set my body on fire. I wanted more, oh so much more……that if it wasn't because I was trying to be successful at this I would've grabbed her and kissed her right here in front of everyone.

"Bye Edward"

"Bye Bella" I said quietly as I watched her go.

It was Night time…..

I was dressed and ready to go when Mike called me over from the living room.

"What is it? I'm kind of in a hurry" I told him impatiently. I didn't want to late knowing Emmett he would probably leave my ass if I was even a minute late.

"Victor says he won't ask Bella if you give him 500 dollars"

"Done" I quickly replied. Bella was worth that and much more.

"Really?" asked Mike "Wow"

"Anything else?"

"I couldn't talk to Riley though his schedule is a little harder because he doesn't live in campus and he was only here for HPE today so….I'll try again tomorrow."

"With him I want you to use a different tactic"

"Oh" said Mike slowly "Which one?"

"Fear. Tell him if he ever even glances at Bella I'll fuck him up"

Mike's eyes widened and he smiled "all right I'll tell him that. What are you going to do about Henry?"

"I'll worry about Henry later I'm going clubbing tonight so I won't be back till late probably"

"Okay have fun Edward"

"Yep thanks man…..and I owe you big time for all of this" I said awkwardly. "I promise I'll make it up to you sometimes soon"

"I'll keep that in mind" said Mike smiling.

"Okay…..well good night"

"Good night"

I walked out of there towards Emmett's jeep.

Bella's POV

I had gotten out of the shower and began to blow dry it when Alice knocked on the door

"Yeah Al" I said

"We're going to curl your hair!" she yelled "It will make you look extra good with the outfit I got you"

"Okay" I said a little uneasily. I liked hanging out with the group they were my best friends after all but it was a little uncomfortable being the third wheel and all. I sighed I really need to find a guy. After I blow dried my hair, I walked into the room were Alice and Rose were. Rose was already dressed in a red Tonia dress and her hair was in pin straight with a bump. Alice was wearing a zebra print V dress with a black accent belt and black heels. I was wearing a brown beaded baby doll dress with heels.

"Come in, we're meeting the guys downstairs" said Rose

We walked downstairs were the guys were Emmett whistled at us and we giggled. I was surprised to see that Edward was with them. Alice didn't tell me he was coming and from what I know Alice could barely stand her brother most of the time.

"Hi guys" I said

"Babe, I love the animal print on you" said Jasper as he kissed Alice on the lips

"You should see what's underneath" whispered Alice but of course since I was next to her, I heard.

"Alice, watch your surroundings" I said quietly. Alice laughed

"Opps sorry" she said with a giggle

"I can't believe you're going to be spending the night with us Edward" said Rose

"I thought I could grace all of you with my presence tonight" He said as he looked at me.

"Enough talk….let's get going" said Em as he grabbed Rose's hand. We began walking when Edward suddenly appeared by my side.

"You look hot" he said with a grin

"Thanks" I said. Then I remembered his fight the other day and I had wanted to ask him when I was with him in the Gym "How's your face doing?"

He smiled and touched his cheek "It feels fine you can't even tell I got hit anymore after you kissed my booboo"

I smiled but decided to ignore the question "Then you must have bad eyesight because I can still tell" I pointed out. Edward rolled his eyes

"So since we're the odd ones out, why don't you be my partner for the night?'

"I don't know Edward I wouldn't want to give you hope now"

"I'll behave the whole night. I promise"

"I don't know if your promises mean anything….What did you do with Michael?"

"That's a random question. Why do you care?"

"No just curious"

"Well he showed up in the meeting and I pretended like I didn't know him. Then Mike told him the sad news that he won't be receiving a letter to our first act of hazing"

"I knew you were going to do that"

"Did you?"

"Yes he should've known you couldn't trust you" I said "which is why I can't trust your own promises Edward you proved that to me"

He sighed "But I'm telling you the truth I'm not lying this time Bella"

"But how do I know that?"

"Like you said, sometimes you have to take a chance"

"You remember things I tell you"

"I remember everything you say or do"

"Stalker" I said with a smile

He smiled at me "What can I say? You're too beautiful"

We climbed into the car.

We arrived at Hold & Cold fifteen minutes later. After waiting in line, we finally got inside to the club.

"I'll go get us all drinks" said Emmett. He kissed Rose on the lips then disappeared into the huge masses of people dancing on each other.

"There's a booth!" yelled Alice close to my ear. I mouthed Owe and Edward chuckled behind me. I turned around and glared at him but he gave me a puppy look, so I sighed and gave him a small smile. I was starting to see that the whole puppy thing was a Cullen trademark. We all sat down in the booth

"This place is amazing!" said Alice "We should've come here ages ago"

"Want to dance?" asked Jasper

"Of course hun" said Alice. She got up and looked at me with a weird smile "Bella, Edward dance I know you guys aren't friends but you guys are okay now….so have fun with each other all righty"

"What?" I asked in disbelief. This was shocking; really shocking.

"Cool" said Edward grabbing my hand immediately "Let's go! I want to see if you look even more of a goddess when you're dancing"

I reluctantly got up and followed Edward to the dance floor. I turned around and there was Rose looking at us with a smirk and then Emmett coming from behind her with a round full of drinks. I turned back around and led Edward lead me to the middle of the dance floor.

"So do you even know how to grind?" asked Edward close to my ear.

"Do you know what's personal space?" I asked as I took a step away from him.

"Can't you ever answer a question?"

"Can you?" I asked him. We both sighed at the same time and smiled; Wow this was different we were getting along even joking around with each other, sort of. "Yes I can dance okay but if I feel like you're becoming too touchy feely with me I'll punch you square in the jaw understood?"

"Yes Miss Swan" said Edward putting his hands on my waist and bringing my closer to his body. We both began swaying to the music and after a while when I felt like he was behaving…..I rested my head on his chest and began really showing him what I had. I knew this was probably going to torture the kid but he deserved it for every time he ever mad me angry so I began grinding him slowly and seductively and I heard him gasp. He was probably having a heart attack if only I could see his face but if I did I might start laughing right in his face. I put one of my hands behind myself and hung it over his neck bringing his face closer towards my neck. He squeezed his grip on my waist and I smiled. Ha Ha poor Edward Cullen.

"So you think you can play with me just like that" he whispered huskily into her ear.

"I have no idea what you're talking about Cullen" I said softly. Then he put his hands on my thighs and pressed himself closer to me. I gasped surprised by his boldness "Edward behave now"

"Oh so you're the only one who can do this…" he whispered. He forced me to turn around and grabbed my hands putting them around his neck. His eyes looked so intense like if he was trying to look into my soul or something….it was weird to explain but I couldn't look away from his lustful eyes. I didn't know what the hell happened but we just kept staring at each other intensely while we grinded on each other. I had to admit this was the most sexiest thing I've done in awhile.

"Bella" he whispered as he leaned in closer to me.

"Edward" I whispered back softly.
