Chapter 11: Smelly Orange Drinks

BPOV

I laughed loudly at Edward who was drunk no doubt. He took me to a place called The Melting Pot and we had chocolate fondue on top of every dessert you could imagine. We had several drinks there and then convinced ourselves that we were young enough to go to one of the clubs close by. You could definitely tell that everyone here was freshly 21. Everyone dancing and smashed together tightly, drinking something that was really smelly and orange. But for some odd reason, we stayed and drank the smelly orange stuff and I think we danced too. I'm not sure how long we stayed but now we were back at The Edgewater Hotel. Marilyn was nowhere to be found and Edward kept sniffing the flowers in the vase on end table next to the large TV.

"Are these real?" He asked seriously and kept sniffing them.

I was cracking up. Forget if he was drunk or not…I was a little wasted myself. I haven't had this much alcohol in, I don't know how long.

"I think they are real." I said and walked over to where he was at. I started feeling the petals and Edward just grabbed one of the flowers and plucked it out of the water it was in.

"Here, I got you a flower." He said and handed it to me, it caused me to laugh harder.

"Thanks." I said around my giggles. I sniffed it and realized it didn't have a fragrance I kept sniffing until Edward laughed at me and grabbed my hand pulling me over to the couch.

He sat me down and retrieved us each a bottle of water from the fully stocked kitchen. I thanked him and took a big sip as he sat beside me doing the same thing.

"I haven't had that much fun in a long time." He said with a bright smile on his face. It made my heart stop.

"Me either." I said smiling too.

"I don't know where you're friend and Emmett are. Emmett is crazy though but she is safe with him." He assured me.

"Oh, I don't worry about Mari, she can take care of herself." I waved it off. "She is a tough one. I would say that Emmett is safe with her too."

Edward laughed and said, "They are a lot alike and I would dare say that if they both weren't married they would probably hit it off."

I laughed and shook my head. "Peter…Mari's husband is a lawyer and he is so quiet, if you met him you wouldn't think that they belonged together at all."

Edward looked surprised. "Yeah…Emmett he talks big but my sister has his balls in her purse."

I laughed at him. "Maybe Mari and your sister would hit it off."

He chuckled and nodded. "She reminds me of Rosalie."

"How old is your sister?" I asked, just making conversation. How odd that his sister and my daughter have the same name. Odd coincidence.

"She will be 38 on her birthday." He said. "Do you have any siblings?"

"No, my dad raised me himself. My mom disappeared shortly after I turned two. She probably has a bunch of children running around somewhere but I don't know any of them."

He looked sad. "I'm sorry."

I shook my head and took another sip of water, realizing I was really thirsty. "It's ok. We were better off without her."

"And you have a daughter." He stated, I nodded my reply.

"She is eighteen? Where is her father?" He asked bravely…maybe he was just making conversation, or fishing for information. I wasn't really sure which one but this isn't a conversation I wanted to have with a complete stranger. Well…he may not be a complete stranger after us spending the entire evening together but still, this wasn't a conversation I wanted to have with him.

"Well, um…" I started, trying to figure out what I was going to say to him to change the subject.

My phone gloriously took the opportunity to beep, signaling I had a message. I thought for a moment it was Mari but was shocked when I saw Rose's name. Why was she up this late/early, whatever it was.

I opened the text message, anxiously hoping that everything was ok.

Mom, am I doing the right thing? I'm not so sure anymore :(

I felt my heart sink and then I quickly wondered why the hell I came to Seattle this weekend and left her alone when she was taking the biggest step of her life.

"Um, excuse me just a moment." I said to Edward who nodded with a soft smile in response.

I stood and walked around the wall separating the living room from the kitchen and called her.

She answered on the second ring, tears in her voice. "Hello?"

"Rose are you crying?" I asked softly.

She sniffed and whispered back, "Yes."

"Baby what's wrong?" I asked nervously, a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. "Are you alright? Where are you at?"

"I'm at Jake's and I don't know if I am alright or not. I am scared mom…what if I am not making the right decision and what I find out today, I regret the rest of my life."

This was it. This was the chance I had been waiting on. The opportunity to persuade her not to find her father. Not to open up the chance to get hurt and not to leave me for him.

"Rose…" I said sternly and shook my head. Warring with myself over my next words but I knew that they were right. "What you will regret the rest of your life is not going up there tomorrow and not finding out the truth. Most of your life you have wondered about him and now is your chance to find the truth. If it was up to me, I wouldn't let you go but it's not. It's your decision…a decision you will have to live with for the rest of your life. So the question to ask yourself is, do you want to live in regret and spend the rest of your life wondering or do you want to take a risk, drive up there and find out who he is?"

"I don't want to live with regret." She said sternly, still sniffling around her tears.

"That's what I thought." I said simply. "Do you want me to come home…go with you up there?"

"No, you need a break. I'm fine. Jake will take care of me." She said, sounding a little better now.

"Jake…we will talk about that one later. Why didn't you stay with Alice?" I asked, trying not to sound upset but she was my baby girl and she is spending the night at a guy's house and didn't even tell me.

"He offered to let me stay here?" She made it sound like a question rather than an answer.

"Well…we will talk about that later. Go get some sleep, ok?"

"Thanks mom. I love you."

Yeah…I was doing the right thing. I was…

"I love you too, Rose." I told her and listened as she hung up the phone.

I stayed in the kitchen for just a moment longer before collecting myself and going back out to find Edward right where I left him.

"Hey." He said with a smile. "Everything ok?"

"Yeah," I said with a sigh and sat beside him. "It was just my daughter."

I sat the phone on the coffee table and took another deep breath. Great…now I was going to worry about her all day tomorrow…today, whatever it was.

"Is she at home alone?" He asked, sounding kind of concerned.

"No she stayed with her boyfriend." I felt my face screw up in distaste at saying the words. I didn't like that she spent the night at Jake's. We would definitely be talking about that one when I got home.

"What?" Edward questioned with the same look I had on my face. "Your eighteen year old daughter stayed the night with her boyfriend and she is up at this hour…"

I shook my head, not liking where my head was right now. If he laid one hand on her I will kill him but what Edward was insinuating didn't leave much room for imagination.

"Shit…" I hissed and rubbed my forehead, my buzz wearing off.

"Sorry, I know it's not really my business." He said softly but I shook my head.

Yeah…I am going to kill that boy. Or I might have dad do it because he has a badge that says he can.

"No, it's ok. I will just have my dad kill him." I said calmly coming to a conclusion with the whole thing.

"What?" Edward laughed.

"My father…he is a cop. He can just kill him, problem solved." I said with a shrug.

"And her boyfriend's parents just let her stay over? What are they thinking?" Edward seemed completely disturbed by this. What was he thinking right now?

"He is 22…lives alone." I told him.

He looked even more upset about that. "And you are letting her date him?"

I just stared at him, confused about his reaction. What the hell?

"Sorry," He shook his head. "I just keep thinking about my niece Lily…she is eighteen and I would string that fucker up the nearest tree if it was me. But her boyfriend is the same age as her and I at least buy them condoms so she doesn't get pregnant but no way in hell would me or Emmett let her stay the night at her boyfriends, especially if he was 22."

"You buy your niece condoms?" I asked laughing and shaking my head.

"Yeah," He said bashfully. "Don't let Emmett hear that though. He would kill me for encouraging them but I would rather them be safe than sorry but still her boyfriend is eighteen too."

I laughed and shook my head. This guy was crazy!

"I'm glad that I don't have kids. I would flip out if my eighteen year old daughter had a boyfriend, let alone stayed with him overnight."

"Have you ever been married?" I asked, back to making conversation. He obviously has no kids…he just said so.

"No." He shook his head. "I have a very corrupted version of marriage in my head. I would screw up a marriage."

"Me too." I nodded. "I have never thought about getting married it just seems so…fake. There are very few marriages I know of that have lasted. I don't want that for me…and I especially never wanted that for Rose."

"So you didn't marry her father?" He asked and here we were back to her that conversation.

"No." I simply stated. I may have been pretty abrupt about my answer but he got the hint and changed the subject.

"Oh…" He said and then started talking about his family because he obviously could tell I wasn't comfortable talking about mine.

He just had his sister, Rosalie and Emmett, their kids and his mom and dad.

"Twins." I said surprised. "I bet that's fun."

"Eh, they hate each other." Edward said, laughing. "Masen thinks that he is kind of superior over Marcus because he is the oldest. It's kind of funny."

"When I was young I always wanted a twin…I just thought it was the coolest thing that people could have someone that looked exactly like them."

"When they were born, Rosalie wrapped a green band around Masen's wrist and a blue band around Marcus' so we could tell them apart." Edward said laughing.

Just then the door bust open and in walked a very worried Mari. "There you are!" She screamed in relief and fell down beside of me on the couch.

"I have been here." I said laughing. "Where have you been?"

"Looking for you!" She said with a shake of her head. "I lost my phone. I have no idea what happened to it."

"Where is Emmett?" Edward asked her.

"Right here." Emmett said walking in with two large pizzas in his hand.

"Oh, food." Edward seemed excited about that.

We spent the next several hours playing some kind of card game and eating pizza. It was fun and when the sun started to peak into the room Edward and Emmett decided it was time to leave because they would be checking out in a couple of hours. We all said our goodbyes and that was that. No numbers exchanged, no hugs or kisses, just goodbye and the door shut.

"We have to do this again soon!" Marilyn explained behind me.

A/N: *hides behind couch* please don't throw heavy things because I know EVERYONE wanted lemons from them but you gotta give it time folks lol :) we get to the lemons soon. I promise!
