The vibration in club Eclipse was earth shaking (Picture. Profile). The lowly dimmed club was just an hour away from Forks in the heart of Seattle. I held on to Bella's arm and practically dragged her into the room. After the humongous bouncer let both of us in, I squinted my eyes to find Rosalie & Alice. My eyes quickly noticed a group of men gathered around a small nook in the corner of the room.
Found them
"Come on Bella," I said as we walked over the pile of drooling men.
Alice & Rosalie were casually turning down guy after guy while exchanging amused looks. It was obvious that they were use to the attention. After the last 2 rejected guys left Bella and I slid into the soft white seats.
"It's about time, you too should up," Rosalie said while reapplying her lipstick.
"Excuse us for actually going the speed limit, Bella said rolling her eyes.
When it came to the Cullen kids, they loved going fast and furious. It must have been a vampire thing, because at times I get that taste of adrenaline and just speed through an unsuspecting one lane road.
"Hello, ladies," said a short red head.
"I'm your waitress. Can I get you some drinks?"
"Virgin Pina Colada," I said.
"Nothing for us," Alice said pointing to both her & Rosalie.
"Water," Bella said flatly.
The waitress gave Bella a funny look.
"She'll have a Pina Colada as well," I said giving Bella an exasperated look.
After she left I glared at Bella and shook my head, "Water? You don't go to a club and ask for water."
Both Rosalie & Alice giggled as Bella shrugged. "I wanted water."
"Bella, you might as well have fun now. After you and Edward get mar-," Alice started.
Suddenly Bella's face froze. She gave Alice a dark look which made everyone quiet.
She cannot be serious! She really does not want me to know about this engagement!
My joyful mood turned into complete anger. I was about to lash out before our waitress came back with drinks.
"Here you go girls," she said with a smile.
"Thanks," I muttered snatching the drink from the table.
The DJ in the club came up to the stage and grabbed the mike. "Okay ladies, this song is for you. From his new album, this is Ne-yo's "Closer."
Like clockwork everybody headed for the dance floor.
"I love this song!" Alice shrieked as she grabbed Rosalie and ran to the dance floor. Bella and I sat there and watched the two vampires tear up the dance floor with their amazing moves. I was itching to join them, but I knew Bella would just stay behind.
I sipped my drink and gave a heavy sigh. Bella looked at me and lowered her head.
"Pippa, I'm sorry I'm being so difficult. Your trying to get me to have a good time and I'm just being difficult."
"Bella," I started to whisper. "What happened to you?"
Bella gave me a curious look but said nothing.
"You seem more cautious than usual. Like you know something is going to happen. Something life changing."
Bella looked me dead in the eyes. "You have no idea."
The look made my spine straighten and for a few seconds it was silent.
Looking for an escape I blurted out "Let's dance."
"What," Bella stammered.
"Come on let's dance," I said grabbing her hand.
As we pushed our way to the middle of the dance floor, I started to sway my boy back and forth. I could see Alice & Rose on the sidelines watching us in shock. Even they couldn't believe that Bella was actually going to dance.
As I let go of her hand I started to dance. Bella stood their hands folded trying to find an escape.
"Bella!" I tried to yell over the music. "Stop being such a stiff and have fun. Let loose for God's sake."
Turn
the lights off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And
I swear I know her face
I just dont know who you are
Turn
the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like
shes right there in my ear
Telling me
that she wants to own
me
To control me
Come closer
Come closer
(Song in Profile)
As I twirled around I could see Bella slowly drop her hands. She looked me up and down and to my surprise tried to mimic my movements.
I started to smile and continued swerving my hips.
"Hey, let us get in on some of the action," Rosalie said as she and Alice met up with us in the middle.
In a few seconds all 4 of us were the object of attention. All of us were just getting taken away and we didn't care who saw.
And I just can't pull
myself away
Under a spell I can't break
I just can't stop (I
just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
And I just can't free
myself, no way
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop (I
just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
Back at our table we were still breathless from our performance. As Bella and I sipped our 2nd drink we started to talk about the insane things we did as kids. My heart filled with joy, because I knew that this was the Bella I knew.
Suddenly my phone vibrated. As Alice and Rosalie were fixing Bella's hair I excused myself from the table. The number was unfamiliar but the area code was Washington.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey, Princess! It's Jacob Black."
"Jacob! How'd you get my number."
"I called your job, and your boss gave me your cell. What? Are you disappointed?" Jake asked as his voice lowered.
"No, it's fine."
I could hear Jacob's deep chuckle and it made me turn a light pink.
"So what have you been doing tonight?
I smiled and rested my shoulder on the wall.
"Well, Bella and I are in Seattle."
There was a long pause and I could feel a smug look cross my face. After a few seconds of silence I continued.
"We are at that new club. Eclipse."
"Well, that's nice," Jacob grumbled.
I started to shift positions so our conversation would not be overheard.
"Well," he said clearing his throat.
"It doesn't matter seeing that Bella hates dancing."
I looked and saw that Bella was back on the dance floor.
That's what you think, Jake.
We talked for a couple more minutes before wishing each other goodnight. I was compelled to mention the talk Bella and I had that afternoon, but I kept quiet.
The night went very quickly. Bella had danced herself ragged and was now folding herself in a sleeping position on the chair.
"Okay, I think that's enough for tonight."
As Bella and I got into the car something came to me. An evil smile passed on my face and I pushed on the accelerator with all my might
"Jesus! Pippa what's the deal…and why are you grinning?" Bella said narrowing her eyes.
Evil laugh
After we were close to the house I suddenly made a right turn on the intersection.
"Pippa, this isn't the way to my house." Bella said.
"I know."
"What's going on?" Bella said sounding panicked.
I was completely ignoring her and I tried to find the spot. I had passed the location many times and always thought about doing it. However, tonight was perfect. Bella had finally let loose and had fun and this was an excellent way to end the night.
"Here we are." I said with a grin.
The lake was calm and tranquil as the midnight breeze moved the small waves across. The moon was completely full and it felt like one big spotlight for just the 2 of us.
Bella stepped beside me and together we stared at the beautiful image.
"So this is what you wanted me to see," Bella said as she stared in awe.
"God no!" I said with an abrupt laugh.
Silly Bella. She's going to flip
"Then why are we here," Bella said now getting frustrated.
I walked toward Bella and laid both of her hands on her shoulders.
"Bella, you were amazing tonight. You were a completely different person and you have to admit that you had a lot of fun."
Bella smiled and bashfully shrugged her shoulders.
"So in honor of this momentous occasion. I think we should do one thing. One thing that we'll remember forever."
Bella's smile faded.
"Pippa, what are you going to do."
Without looking away I backed up two steps.
It's show time!
I turned away from Bella and grabbed the golden straps of my dress and pulled it down. I slowly pulled my legs out from my dress and carelessly tossed to the side. Standing their in my black lace bra and underwear and I ran right into the river and dove in head first.
The water was freezing and, but it felt nice. After a couple of splashes I turned to see Bella.
Poor wide eyed, Bella stood at the same spot. He mouthed was wide open and all that came out were soft groans.
I smiled and lifted my hands in the air gesturing for her to come in.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Bella said finally coming out of her comatose state.
I rolled my eyes and wadded closer.
"Why not? Give me one good reason." I said.
"Well, what if someone sees us!" Bella exclaimed.
"We're behind a clump of trees. No one's going to see us."
Bella shook her head and shifted back and forth.
"Bella, don't be afraid do something crazy. You can't live your life on the sidelines."
"You've been reading way too many fortune cookies."
"I'm serious, Bells! Just this once. We can look back on it years from now and say 'Yep, we swam half naked in freezing lake at 1 in the morning'".
Bella stared at me and I believed that I had lost her. Suddenly Bella walked over to a tall bush. I crossed my arms and watched as the bush began to shake. Suddenly a red dress flew in the air and landed on the ground.
I let out a shrike of delight as I watched innocent little Bella tip toe into the water.
"It's freezing!" Bella screamed as her torso was under water.
"Wimp," I yelled as I cupped my hands and splashed her.
That was the beginning of the water war. We swam to the tip of the river and splashed and dunked each other.
It felt like we were back In Arizona all over again. When Bella and I were babies, she had this inflatable kiddie pool in her backyard. Every summer we would frolic and with the space that we had played Marco Polo.
For 10 minutes we squealed and laughed as we tried to practice our not so coordinated swimming.
"Pippa, this was a good idea," Bella said as she floated in front of me.
"Told you," I said with a smirk.
"I've missed you, Pip," Bella whispered.
My heart swelled and I closed my eyes.
"I missed you to, Izzy."
Then it happened…
The sound of sirens rang unexpeditly and the color of red and blue lights replaced the moonlight.
Cops
Bella rushed over and we hid behind a tall bush.
"Oh God! I knew this wouldn't end well," Bella groaned.
I held onto her and tried to slow my breathing.
"Let's just wait them out. They can't see us."
As we waited I realized that our dresses were still at the other side of the lake. I craned my neck and tried to see if the cops were going to leave.
After having a good look at the cops I closed my eyes and pulled back behind the bush.
"What?" Bella said with a strained voice.
"Okay. Don't freak out, but…."
Suddenly a gruff voice came from the other side.
"WHOEVER IS OUT THERE COME OUT NOW! WE GOT A CALL ABOUT A DISTRUBANCE! THIS IS PUBLIC PROPERTY! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD."
Yep, Charlie Swan was pissed.
