Party Part Two
(Edward's POV)
Bella scooped a cup up into one of the crystal bowls that held the Cola and sniffed it. She did that with the Pepsi then the Sprite. "Someone spiked the drinks" Bella told me.
"And I bet I know who did just that" I hissed. Bella followed me as we stormed off to find Mike Newton....
There that vile little pest sat, with Jessica straddling him. Felix sat next to him with Lauren humping him. He was drunk off his ass as well. And then Tyler was there was well, necking with some fake redhead.
Mike seemed buzzed and had a cup in his hand.
"You're out of here" I told Mike over the music. He looked at me and had the nerve to laugh. The cavemen laughed as well. "I'm the chaperone here. As Bella's halfwit of a dad says" Mike laughed. I saw Jasper, Emmett, Jacob, Quil, and Rose crowd around Bella and I as back up. Alice and Renesmee weren't to far back with Seth and Claire either.
Emmett, Quil, and Jacob seemed to have sobered up real quick. Rose, Renesmee, and Claire probably caught on like Bella had. What Bella did surprised me.
She shoved Jessica aside and slapped Mike right across the face. The music cut off and everyone one was staring at us now. "You, your friends, and your trampy little play things get out of my house now! Because guess what? My dad is going to believe me over you anyday. Unless you leave right now; I will tell my father you brought beer into his house!"
That scared the moron group. Mike, Felix, and Tyler got up while their tramps got ready to follow. Rose grabbed Jessica's arm "By the way. Since you never seem to get a clue when you're sober. You should know Mike has been screwing Lauren for the past month" Jessica gaped and ran out the front, screaming curses at Mike.
Lauren ran after Felix, fumbling to try and explain things to him. Tyler and his play thing walked out, unaffected. "Alright everyone, party over!" Bella shouted. After seeing her display, no one wanted to argue. Everyone expect our friends and Seth, Quil, and Claire stayed. "Hey, wheres Leah and Embry?" Seth questioned.
We split up to search the house, Bella and I headed upstairs and stopped at what we saw. "Wow. looks like they had a little to much 'soda'" Bella giggled as we saw the display of Embry and Leah making out.
At hearing her voice, the two broke apart. Leah's eyes widened before dropping her head. "Uh...hiya" Embry muttered to us, scratching the back of his head. "Hi" I chuckled, watching Leah blush. "Don't mention this to the others?" Leah asked, embarrassed. "No problem" Bella whispered.
"Find them?!" Emmett boomed from down stairs. The two stood up and did their best to not look....well, like they had been making out. "Yeah, Leah was in the bathroom throwing up, Embry was helping her out" I lied nonchalantly as we sauntered into the living room. Leah and Embry confirmed it quickly, making Rose and Alice suspicious.
"No big deal, I think we should get home before all our folks go insane. Its pushing midnight" Claire said while looking at her watch. "Good idea" Quil wrapped an arm around her. Jacob wasn't quite ready to part from Renesmee, so he made that goodbye kiss last. He was lucky Renesmee liked him so much or else Emmett might of gotten cousin-protective. Hell, jasper and I might've as well.
Bella looked at me longingly and sighed before walking over to me. "I wish the party hadn't been cut short" she murmured as I pulled her into my arms. "There's always another time" I promised her and kissed her lips lightly, lovingly.
"Edward! Hurry it up!" Jasper called from my car. I sighed and jogged to the volvo as Jacob and the rest of the La Push kids drove off. Renesmee and Alice were sleeping over, sort of a girls' night in again. I got in the driver's seat and pulled out as Bella and the others went inside. I drove down the road and was just about to make a turn when I stopped the car.
I just wasn't ready to leave her yet.
"Edward, what the hell?" Emmett asked from the back seat. I tossed the keys to Jasper and shook my head "I've got to do something, keep your cells on and I'll call when I'm ready to come home" I told them. Jasper and Emmett traded looks before both of them smiled. "You really like her, don't you?" Jasper asked with a slight smile.
"You could say that" I grinned and got out of the car. I began jogging back down the road as Jasper and Emmett drove off. What was it about Bella? I was in love with her, that I knew. I'd admitted that much to her. She told me she loved me too. So what did this mean for us? How far would our relationship go?
I found myself in her driveway. I climbed up the tree to her room, even though the only light on was the living room. I got a flashback of Bella closing the window on me the first time I tried this. Hopefully it wouldn't be a repeat.
I sat on that same branch and reached out to the window. It opened up easily. I shifted my weight carefully and climbed into her room. I paused where I stood. Wait...what if she thinks I'm stalking her? Damn, too late to change things now. I walked quietly over to her radio and checked to see what CD was inside. I smiled at seeing a LifeHouse CD.
I happened to have the same one myself, so I knew exactly what track to play. I set the volume just loud enough so she may hear it and pressed play. Then, I stood against the wall behind her door to wait.
(Bella's POV)
"Do you hear that?" Alice asked as she did Renesmee's nails. We all listened carefully and heard faint music. "Maybe a couple didn't know the party was over?" Rose suggested as I realized the music was coming from my room. "Not in my room" I muttered as I got off the couch, ran to the stairs and climbed them. I tripped once, before swinging the door open into my room.
No one was there. But You And Me by LifeHouse was playing quietly. I heard my door shut gently, causing me to turn around. Edward stood there, still in his clothes from the party. Then again, so was I. "How'd you get in here?" I whispered, a slight smile on my face. "I wanted to see you, I'm also hoping you don't think I'm stalkerish" Edward smiled, half nervous that I would find him stalkerish.
"I'm...flattered, actually" I gave him a reassuring smile. Edward smiled back and went over to my radio, he restarted the song and held out his hand for me. "Honestly, are you hoping I step on your feet at one point?" I teased him as I referred to my lack of dancing skills. I took Edward's hand anyway and we danced in a slow circle. "You're not as bad as you think, Bella. And you're dancing skills haven't sent you to my dad's office once" Edward chortled as he held me close.
I rested my head on his chest as he sang along with the song. When the bridge came, he leaned down in my ear and his perfect voice sung in my ear.
"There's something about you now,
I can't quite figure out;
Everything she does is beautiful,
Everything she does is right."
I smiled and looked up at his gorgeous green eyes. He kissed me passionately, which is what I wanted. I had wanted to kiss him all night, that goodbye kiss had been the closest thing. But this was perfect, this was heaven. "Sorry your party was ruined" Edward murmured as the song ended. I shrugged and kissed him again "I like this better" I told him with a giggle.
My phone suddenly began playing its ringtone for Alice.
I'm Walking on Sunshine,
whoa!
I'm walking on Sunshine,
whoa!
I opened my phone, wondering how lazy Alice could get. "Yesss?" I asked with a roll of my eyes. "What's taking so long?" Alice asked a bit impatiently. "Well, since there's no point in keeping secrets from you, say hi to Edward" I held up the phone to him. "Hey Alice" Edward said casually. "WTF? You two really are obsessed with each other, aren't you?" Alice giggled. "Well, he can stay up there for a while. But I hear one thud or moan, I'll sick Rose on you" I could hear Rose shout "hey!" in an offended way.
I hung up and sat on my bed. Edward let the CD play and sat by me. He took my hand and ran his thumb over my ring. "I'm sorry" he stated suddenly. "About what?" I raised my free hand and touched his cheek. "About not telling you about Tanya. I should've told you about any relationships I had in Chicago. The thing was, I never really thought of Tanya as my girlfriend. She doesn't hold a candle to how I feel about you" I smiled at his words, knowing he was sincere.
"I appreciate you telling me this, but you really don't have to be sorry. You said it yourself you never thought of Tanya as your girlfriend, so you didn't think to tell me about her" I leaned in and gave him a small kiss. I felt Edward smile into that kiss, but kissed me back none the less. "I love you" he whispered to me passionately, "And I love you" I promised as we fell back on my bed gently.
The kiss was becoming more heated, more passionate. Edward pressed against me, his hands running up and down my sides, my fingers curled in his bronze hair, pulling him closer to me.
Then, I remembered Alice's words.
"Wait" I murmured against his lips reluctantly. Edward propped himself up on his elbows, gentle green eyes looking at me. "I'm sorry, it's too fast, I know that. And I love you more than enough to wait" Edward kissed my nose before resting his forehead against mine. "Thank you" I smiled happily, grateful he understood. "Bella... could I see some of your writing?" Edward suddenly asked.
The smile grew on my lips with a bit of blush. "Sure...but I don't think it's very good" I rolled over and reached under my bed. I pulled out a cardboard box and placed it onto the bed. Edward sat up with me as I opened the box to reveal a bunch of spiral notebooks along with compostion books. I handed him a black composition book which happened to be one of my better ones.
We sat there for a long while, Edward reading different stories and saying he loved all of them. His favorite one was one I wrote about a country girl who loved horses falling for one of the ranchers. He liked that there was alot of passion instead of drama.
At some point we both grew sleepy. We both forgot we had our cell phones on us and that my friends were down stairs. Sleep overtook us both and I fell asleep snuggled against Edward's chest with his arms wrapped around me.
Alright, so this was more of a little party between Edward and Bella. I wanted more intimacy between them and to show the whole Tanya thing was past them both. Plus, I wanted to give you guys a break from the bad stuff for a bit. Please review to show me you still care!!
Twilighters rule!!
