Song for this chapter----The Black Eyed Peas - Meet Me Halfway

I was looking at a room full of people. My living room to be exact.

Except it was dark ans there were disco lights on and smoke everywhere.

There was some sort of nice rock music playing, not like the kind that hurts your head. I think it was the all American rejects or someone like that.

I was looking at myself laughing at something jack said. I could see stark next to the doorway ignoring whatever it was that Lauren was saying to him and watching me instead.

Aphrodite and Darius were talking to Angela and a boy called Ben who had a few classes with me.

This was weird!

Then as I turned to look back at me I saw myself slapping mike round the face hard.

The scene changed and I was once again looking at Aphrodite.

''hello?.... earth to Bella'' she was saying

I shook my head to clear it. ''I just had a vision'' I told her

she raised her eyebrow and put her hand on her hip.

''well why aren't you in pain?, my visions hurt like hell and you still look like a goddess. How the hell is that fair''

''well probably because it's your gift not mine, I'm just mimicking it'' I told her.

I was totally glad that it didn't hurt.

''what was it about?'' she asked facing me

''it was us at the party, I slapped mike'' I grinned

''great! I get all doom and gloom in my visions and you get party's and slapping. Fanfuckingtastic!'' she said pouting.

I laughed ''come on don't pout, you'll get wrinkles''

the pouting stopped immediately.

''That's better. Now lets go party'' I said as I stood up.

She grinned ''time to make our entrance''

we walked downstairs together.

''well there goes our big entrance'' Aphrodite huffed

There was no one there to see us.

I wasn't too bothered, big scenes weren't my thing.

''I'm going to go get some alcohol and take the dog to Charlie'' Aphrodite said picking up the car keys.

''don't let Charlie see the drinks'' I grinned

after she left I poured myself another coffee.

I was steadily turning in to a caffeine addict.

I was just wondering where everyone was when I heard footsteps.

Turning I saw jack and stark entering the kitchen.

''wow'' whistled stark, looking me up and down.

''double wow'' jack added ''you make me wish I weren't gay!''

I burst out laughing ''well, thank you jack. I think''

he grinned ''let me just go make the final touches an the room then you can come and see'' he said before going back through the door.

I turned back to my coffee.

Silently I felt stark cross the room.

His hands sneaked round my waist ''so, tonight your my date. Remember?''

I was finding it hard to breath, Aphrodite said he was in to me, was that true or just wishful thinking?.

''I guess I am'' I said turning to face him.

Our faces were inches apart. His hands still on my waist.

''you look perfect Bella'' he whispered

''you look pretty good yourself'' I said touching his chest.

He had on a pair of dark jeans and a white t-shirt that showed every detail of his perfect body.

''how will I keep my hands off you?'' he said as his hands tightened and he breathed my scent in deeply.

Time to take a chance! I told myself.

''who says you have to'' I whispered back and tiptoed up to meet his lips.

He kissed me with more passion than I thought were possible and lifted me by my hips so I was sitting on the island in the middle of the kitchen.

My hands moved on their own accord up his chest and around his neck.

He had one hand on my back and the other was running up my thigh.

I pulled him closer.

I wanted to do things with him I had only ever dreamed about!

''oh god! I want you'' I breathed

he moved my legs apart ans stepped between them. I kissed him roughly and reached for the button on his jeans.

''oh ewe, that is just nasty!''

we sprang apart. I straightened my dress as stark moved behind the island to hide his very hard and very noticeable tent in his trousers.

My face was blood red. God! I had nearly been having sex on the kitchen side.

Aphrodite clacked in to the kitchen carrying a box of bottles of wine.

''get a room'' she muttered

before I could reply jack came skipping in to the kitchen ''come and look at my masterpiece. I am a genius''' he sang.

I walked forward.

''aren't you coming stark?'' he asked

''he'll come look in a minute. Some thing's just popped up'' Aphrodite said looking at me.

I put my hand on my head and walked out of the room quickly after jack.

I distinctly heard the sound of jelly beans being thrown across the kitchen and Aphrodite sequel ''oww''

jack had turned the large living room in to a night club.

With lights set up and the stereo with the huge speakers even the smoke machine was set up in the corner.

''oh jack. You are brilliant'' I said hugging him.

''thank you, thank you'' he said doing mock bows.

''fuck, jack that looks seriously good'' Aphrodite said walking in.

''wait till its all dark'' he said excitedly.

The doorbell rang.

''I'll get it'' yelled Darius, who was coming down the stairs.

''its time'' I said walking in to the hallway.

Jacob was there with two boys around his age, who were also freakishly big.

''hey, you made it'' I said as I went to greet them

''Bella!'' Jacob gasped as he saw me walking towards him ''wow''

''you too'' I laughed plucking his shirt collar.

He hugged me and kissed my cheek.

''Bella, this is quil and embry. Guys this is Bella'' he said standing between us.

''hello'' I smiled

''hey'' winked the one named quil

''sup''said embry

jack came in and grinned ''hey wolf''

''sup vamp'' Jake laughed

I was glad that Jake and jack got along they were both good friends.

''Bella. Is it true that you can phase?'' quil asked moving closer to me

''I think so. I mean I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure if I tried I could'' I replied.

''that is so hot!'' he said dreamily

I laughed ''what is?''

''a girl who can phase'' he said moving closer still

''dude what about Leah? She's a girl that phases all the time'' embry laughed

''yeah but Leah's like a sister. Bella's shockingly hot''

I blushed ''still in the room here'' I said

Jake elbowed them both ''guys knock it off'' he said

''OK. Sorry Bella, will you dance with me later?'' quil asked

''sure'' I smiled

''so, Bella. How about you let me be your escort for this date?'' Jacob asked as we moved in to the kitchen.

''oh..I..uh...'' I stammered

''I believe That's my job'' stark said walking smoothly over to me and standing behind me.

If looks could kill, then the looks Jacob were sending stark right would send him straight to the electric chair.

Aphrodite and Darius walked in ''guys we need to move the blood out of the fridge'' she said.

Glad for the chance to get away from the tension that you could suddenly cut with a knife, I grabbed a cooler.

''I'll help you'' stark said getting some ice for the bottom.

once both coolers were full I picked on up and he picked up the other.

''can you fill the fridge up with the drinks you got'' I asked Aphrodite who nodded.

''and you three, no drinking!'' I said to Jake, quil and embry.

We carried the coolers upstairs ''where can we put them where there is no chance of being found?'' stark asked.

I thought about it for a second. ''my room'' I replied and headed up the next flight of stairs.

''its the only room so far with a lock and key'' I told him as we went inside.

We put the coolers in the corner next to my bed.

''Bella'' stark said quietly

I looked up ''yeah''

''I like you, a lot. And I want this to be our first date, for real. And hopefully the first of many'' he said taking my hand in his.

Inside I was doing the mamba.

''I like you too'' I smiled

I took my face in his hands and kissed me lightly.

''I knew you two couldn't be trusted'' Aphrodite said from the doorway.

I grinned at her then bit my lip.

She walked over to me and took me by the arm ''come on, people are arriving and they don't know us'' she said pulling me towards the door.

This time I grabbed stark's hand, pulling him with me.

When we were at the bottom of the stairs Aphrodite let me go but I kept my hind in stark's, lacing my fingers through his.

Angela was there with Ben and a few people I had classes with.

Jack had set the music going and turned the lights off .

Everything looked great.

My phone began to ring from where I had put it between my breast, the vibration making me shudder.

I pulled it out.

Dad

''Hello'' I answered, already knowing what was coming next

''hey bells, hows the party going?''

''so far only about ten people are here but I did say seven so its still early''

he took a deep breath ''listen Bella, I know that you kids will be drinking. I was eighteen once too, but just promise me you wont have too much or let anyone else have too much''

I laughed ''dad, I'm not going to. OK, and I wont let anyone else get wasted either. I don't want to be cleaning sick up in the morning''

''OK, I trust you'' he said

''bye dad''

''bye''

stark was by my side in an instant. ''you OK?''

''yeah, I'm under strict orders from the chief of police not to get drunk'' I laughed

he smiled ''alcohol sucks anyway. You should try blood, now That's a rush''

''come on'' I said pulling him in to the now half full living room.

By eight the place was crowded.

I had been running round like a headless chicken for the last hour and a half.

I was avoiding people but to get away from one I had to go near another.

Tyler Crowley asked me to dance and I told him later so every five minutes he kept saying ''its later now''

then Eric yorkie asked me to dance and I said I had to go to the bathroom.

And mike was just following me as usual.

''you look stressed'' Aphrodite said trying to hand me a glass of wine

I shook my head to the wine ''where's stark?'' I asked

she leaned in ''jack got a bit upset and he went to go talk to him''

I nodded and moved towards the stairs.

Quickly I ran up without being noticed and went to jacks room.

''jack?'' I asked as I opened the door. He was sat on the bed wiping his eyes, stark was patting his back. ''you OK honey?'' I asked.

He sniffed then nodded ''sorry I just got a bit emotional there''

''we all get like that sometimes'' I said

''thanks for coming to check on me'' he smiled at me then turned to stark ''thanks for being kind''

''no problem'' he said

''see you downstairs'' he said and left.

I went and sat down, stark pulled me in to his arms and just held me.

''wanna tepee the house?'' he grinned

I laughed ''no thanks, its ours remember, and you would be the one cleaning it''

''OK, no tepee'' he pouted

I reached up and gently kissed his pouted lips

he groaned in to my mouth as the kiss deepened, but he pulled back

''OK! I don't wanna sound like a total pussy or anything but do you wanna take it slow. I mean I am all up for heavy make out sessions but sex, can we wait a while''

he was perfect. Sweet, understanding and not afraid to be mushy about stuff.

''deal, plus I'm kinda new at this'' I admitted

''really?''

I nodded ''Edward had rules and restrictions''

''wow'' he said then kissed me again

I pulled back this time ''we had better get back before Aphrodite storms in again''

I stood up and walked to the door ''one more'' stark said as he pressed me to the door.

I pressed my body to his and kissed him with every ounce of passion and want inside me.

I felt him begin to harden against my leg.

''down boy!'' I said on his lips

''he cant help it he wants to meet you'' he said with a cocky grin

I laughed and turned the handle opening the door.

As soon as I got downstairs I walked in to Jacob ''there you are. the house phone keeps ringing but there no one there'' he said

''strange'' I said just as my mobile started to ring

no number

''hello'' I said stepping in to the kitchen and turning the coffee maker on.

Nothing

''who is this?''

nothing, not even a breath

''what is the point in calling if your not going to speak?''

I decided to stay on the phone see how long the person would stay on for.

''so, right now I'm making a coffee'' I told the silent person

''planning on staying up late'' stark asked eyeing the cup of strong coffee.

''maybe'' I laughed

''so are you just going to waste your money on phone bills?'' I said into he phone.

Still nothing

''are you naked? Because I read some where that some men get off on these kinda things''

I heard a noise like the person was trying not to laugh.

''That's better. At least I no there is someone on the line''

stark was running his fingertips up the back of my legs making me shiver.

''hey there you are Bella. You ready for a dance?'' mike asked from the doorway

''I'm on the phone mike'' I shot him a dirty look.

He mouthed 'sorry' and went back the way he came.

''god. Will that boy ever take a hint'' I said out loud

''maybe if we go and make out in front of him he will'' stark said kissing my neck.

''mmmmm'' I moaned.

The line abruptly went dead.

''looks like the mutes credit went'' I said slipping my phone back down my chest.

''oh here comes the slap'' I said laughing

stark raised his eyebrow sexily ''huh?''

''I forgot to tell you I had a vision, like Aphrodite does only with out the death and doom. Anyway I saw myself slapping mike''

he chuckled ''lets go then, my little gift grabber''

we went back in to the party. Stark stayed at the door to talk to Darius and I headed over to jack.

''that mike boy is obsessed with you'' he giggled

''don't remind me'' I said back.

''do you like him?'' he asked

''ewe'' was all I said

he giggled again ''good because I'd turn straight and give you one before I let you get with him''

I burst out laughing.

''no problem there, besides I kinda like a guy already''

'ooh do tell'' he said giddily

''Bella'' mike said stepping in front of me '' I cant take it anymore. I need to kiss you''

before I could even think he stuck his lips on mine and tried to put his tongue in my mouth.

I pulled back and slapped him hard.

My vision came true!

''aw come on Bella. Don't try and say you don't want me too'' he said

''get out of my house mike'' I said coldly.

Jack was staring at me open mouthed.

Mike turned and pushed people out of the way to get to the door.

I looked over to Aphrodite who was laughing and gave me the thumbs up.

Stark was grinning at me from the doorway ignoring Lauren who was desperately trying to get his attention.

''you OK?'' Jacob asked from behind me.

''yeah, I'm fine'' I grinned at him

''listen the guys and I have gotta shoot off, Sam found a scent that is heading into town so we gotta go check it out'' he said

my heart began to pound ''do you know who's scent it is?''

''not yet''

''OK, see you later Jake. Thanks for coming'' I told him

he kissed my cheek then disappeared.

A scent! Who could it be? The cullens? But why would they come back?

For me, No!. Edward made it clear he didn't want me.

I suddenly wasn't in the mood for a party anymore.

Slipping away I went and sat on the porch swing outside.

I curled in to a ball and closed my eyes.

Something made me jump. A group of people were leaving, I must have dropped off.

Getting up and stretching I headed back inside, I was freezing.

''where have you been?'' Aphrodite said as soon as she saw me

''I fell asleep on the porch swing'' I told her

she laughed ''well you'd better go find the worry twins and tell them your OK''

I looked at her questioningly ''James and jack'' she said rolling her eyes.

Looking at the time I saw it was almost two am.

Shit! I had been out for ages. Almost everyone had gone.

I headed in to the living room and spotted stark sitting on the sofa flicking through channels.

''you know, not many people watch TV at a party'' I said walking over to him.

''yeah, well my date baled on me'' he said without looking up

''no'' I said sitting down beside him ''your date fell asleep on the porch swing and she's sorry''

''you fell asleep?'' he asked. I nodded

''I closed my eyes for a minute and the next thing I knew someone made me jump and it was almost two. I really am sorry'' I said taking his hand in mine

''so does that mean that your not tired now?'' he grinned

I nodded ''but I would kill for a coffee''

''so we can spend some time together after everyone's gone to bed?''

''yep'' I said popping at the p

''lets go get you some coffee then'' he said standing up and leading me to the kitchen.

Jack was asleep at the table and Aphrodite was talking to Angela

''hey'' I said walking in behind stark

'hey'' they both said back ''so where have you been hiding?'' Angela asked ''I haven't seen you since you hit mike. Well done by the way''

''thanks'' I laughed ''I fell asleep on the porch swing''

she laughed ''I like your house mates Bella, they all nice''

''thanks. I like them too'' I grinned

''looks like it'' she said nodding to my hand that was still in stark's

''this is stark, have you two met?'' I asked her

''ahh the stark that made you look all flustered on the phone the other day. Nice to meet you, I'm Angela''

''I was not flustered!'' I replied blushing

''yeah OK!, well goodnight guys'' she said before leaving.

Darius came in and lifted jack up in his arms ''goodnight'' he called out

''I'm off too, be good you two'' she called over her shoulder ''and the blood is back in the fridge if you want it''

''night'' I called after her.

''alone at last'' stark said taking me in to his arms

I kissed him lightly ''we have got a date to make up for''

he laughed ''and what better way to spend it than tidying up party mess''

I groaned.

''Bella? Tour boobs are vibrating'' he laughed as I pulled my phone out.

Who would be calling at this time?

Without looking at the display I pressed answer

''hello?'' I asked

''bells, you awake?'' Jake asked

''obviously''

''can we come round we need to talk to you?''

''now, Jacob cant it wait?'' I wanted to be alone with stark, not stark and a bunch of werewolf's!

''its about the vampires we chased'' he said

oh crap. I had forgotten about that.

''OK. I'll see you in a minute'' I said before hanging up.
