Chapter 5: Just dance
I ran to the bathroom as fast as possible. I couldn't take this anymore. He shouldn't even be here. As I made my way over towards the ladies room, I bumped into someone, making them stumble back, along with me. I felt my cheeks glow red.
"I'm so sorry!" I started apologizing. I looked up to be met with a fierce stare. She glared at me. She was about my height, 5'4, a round face, but a firm and small jaw line, with a small thin chin too. Almost like a round heart shaped face. She had a straight nose, and perfect eyebrows, with piercing grey eyes framed by long black eyelashes. She had pretty full pink lips. Her face was framed perfectly with dirty blonde hair. You could almost swear that it was brown from how dark it was, but the light from the club dimmed on her, and you could see the shades of blonde, and it was long, but all chopped up. She was slender, but firm, and wearing a green cameo shirt, and black baggy pants. Her arms were full of black bracelets of all kinds. She was in one word, scary.
"Watch where you're going!" She barked and turned again towards the dance floor. I stood there like an idiot, surprised by her tone, but nonetheless I ran inside to the bathroom. I went towards the sink and took in deep breaths. In through the nose out through the mouth.
"Bella?" It was Lauren. I turned to face her.
"Lauren." I sighed in relief. She hugged me, her short blonde hair tickling my face. Lauren was always pretty. She had bleached blonde hair, and short, up to her shoulders. Her face was long, and thin, she had brown eyes, almost black and thick eyelashes. She had thin lips, and was about my size, maybe an inch or two taller. She was very thin, and had a bony structure like Alice. She also had little freckles under her eyes. I smiled at her. She was wearing a yellow halter top dress.
"What's wrong?" She asked worried.
"Some girl out there, and my ex…" I said waving my hand through the air. She sighed in understanding. Lauren knew I had boyfriend problems, but she knew nothing about Edward, or who he was. Her nickname for him was A.W which stands for Ass Wipe, because like she once said, "I don't even want to know his real name. Ass Wipe.
"You broke up…again?" She asked. I nodded my head.
"Well when are you getting back together?" She asked suddenly. I looked at her like she was crazy.
"I'm not. I'm done with him." She rolled her eyes.
"Yea right." She snorted. "You know, I never really got to meet him. I don't even know what he looks like." She said. "I'm sure he's not that good looking." If only she knew. "Oh! Speaking of good looking you want to see my date?" She said, her eyes sparkling.
"Date?" I asked shocked.
"Well, he had asked me to come with him a couple days ago. We met at the jewelry shop I worked at. He bought this really pretty ring. It was gorgeous. But he wanted to return it. I convinced him not to, and he asked me if I wanted to go out with him. We exchanged numbers, and I was supposed to come here anyway, but on Saturday. I called you and changed the date, and then called him. Apparently he was coming here today too." She shrugged. "Oh sorry. I was rambling wasn't I?" She said with a shy smile. I nodded.
"Don't worry. Let's go meet this guy." We locked arms and walked out.
She took us towards a table as we talked about how she was doing, and how Kelly got mad at me the other day over Edward and crap.
"Hey, he's coming this way now." She said pointing towards the dance floor. As my eyes searched, they met with big green ones, full of worry and sadness. Edward.
"Don't look now, but so is A.W." I said. She got up on her knees, on the stool as she searched the crowd. Edward was just two feet away from us, when both of us pointed at him.
"Him." We said at the same time. I looked at her in bewilderment, and she did the same.
"What do you mean him?" I asked Lauren, truly worried now. What does she mean by him? Edward? What? I'm confused.
"This is my date." She pointed at him. I felt my eyes go wide as my heart ached.
"This is my boyfriend." I said. But as the words left my mouth I shook my head. "I mean my Ex. This is Edward, A.W." I told her. Lauren looked white as bone.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" She said hugging me. "I had no idea, I'm really sorry. Please forgive me." She pleaded. I shook my head. This was not her fault. Edward just stood there awkwardly, since he knew he had been caught.
"No, it's fine. It's him who's the problem." I assured her. She looked at Edward.
"This is my friend Lauren, Edward." I sneered his name. He looked at us wide eyed. "You want to get back together huh?" I said. "I thought you wanted me back. Please my ass." I pushed past him. Lauren was right behind me. My heart was ripping again with huge pain and disbelief. How could he do this? Lauren said Saturday right? That was the day we broke up. Is that why Emmett said that Edward was coming here anyway? He was coming with Lauren? Ugh!
"I really am sorry." She said. I shook my head.
"It's fine." I assured her. "Where is Angie?" I asked. I needed to take my mind off of things.
"She had to leave before we even made it here. Something happened at club Space." Lauren shrugged. I nodded with huge disappointment.
I couldn't believe this happened with Edward. If you say you want someone back, then why would you go and ask someone else out? I shook my head. Tonight I'm supposed to be free.
"I need a drink." I told Lauren. She grabbed my hand and took me to the bar.
"Hey, give me two Acidic Mindfucks." Lauren ordered. The guy nodded and went straight to work. "I really am sorry." She said.
"Lauren, right now, what I need is to let loose completely. Please." I said. She nodded.
"Do you want a shot?" She asked. I nodded. "Ok, after this, we'll get the shots." She agreed. The bartender gave me my drink, and Lauren.
"Alright. To…….getting loose." She toasted. I raised my glass with hers, and as soon as I they tapped, the drink was down my throat so fast, I didn't get to taste it. I gulped it down, hoping for the numbness to come to me fast. Lauren laughed as she watched me, the burning sensation in my throat settling down.
"Ok, give me as many shots as possible." I pleaded. Lauren nodded. She turned to the bartender.
"Give me five shots." He looked at her bewildered but shrugged nonetheless.
"Five?" I asked.
"I don't know if you get drunk easily." She shrugged. "Three for you, two for me." She grinned. I nodded in agreement as the shots came to us. I licked my hand and put the salt, running my tongue through it, then before Lauren could say go, the shot was down my throat, burning like fire. I coughed. Lauren laughed. I knew this was hardly the way to resolve my current situation, but really, what else can a girl do?
"Maybe you should slow down." She suggested.
"No. I've never had a shot before. I'm letting it all go." I said as I took the rest of my shots. I didn't want to use the lemon. I just kept taking shots. My heart was tore open, and I needed to forget quickly.
"Ok, I'm going to get you a Bad Ass Mother Fucker." I looked at Lauren confused. Who was a mother fucker?
"What?" I hiccupped.
"You'll like it. It's a drink." She assured. I just nodded. My head was loose, and I had the strangest sensation. It's like if I wasn't really sure if I was here or dreaming. I tried to look at Lauren, but it was all fading. I think I wanted to sleep. I didn't know what I was doing. My whole being felt numb and I couldn't remember anything. Does this mean I'm drunk? I blinked a couple times, trying to clear my blurry thoughts.
"Here." Lauren handed me another drink. I went to grab it, but I missed. I tried again, still missing. I let out a frustrated sigh. I can't grab the damn thing. Lauren chuckled. "Ok Bella, drink this slowly." She laughed trying to stick the drink in my mouth. I think she's just as drunk as me. I nodded my head and let her put the glass to my lips. I took a big gulp. I can't tell you how it tasted, because I wasn't even sure if I was drinking it myself. I felt sudden happiness. I'm free! I'm numb! There is no pain. I sighed as I started to laugh. Lauren joined me as she hiccupped. My vision was still blurry in a way. I could feel myself swaying to the music. Minutes passed and Lauren took just as many shots as me.
"Ha-ha! Belllaaa…..Leetssszzzz danzzzzzzeeyyy…." Lauren slurred. I laughed, and grabbed her hand, taking her towards the dance floor. I didn't even know the song. All I know is that my body was moving in ways I didn't even think were normal. But at the moment that didn't even matter. Lauren was in front of me, and she was doing the wave. I laughed.
"Larruuueennn!!" I said laughing. She laughed with me as she leaned against my shoulder. I started moving my waist in small circles. I then put my hands up in the air, swaying and popping my shoulders and back to the beat.
"Bella!" I heard a voice screech at me. I shook my head and kept on dancing. Stupid voice, go away.
"Bella!" Alice appeared in front of me. I was confused. What the hell? How did she get here? Alice?
"Hi Alice!" I started jumping up and down holding her hands. My vision became impossible to deal with and I stopped.
"Bella! You're drunk." Alice laughed. I nodded, or shook my head…I don't know.
"Alice! Have fun! It's a free night! Just dance!" I yelled in happiness. She finally agreed. My heart was soaring. I wanted to just jump around and get on tables. Suddenly I felt two hands on my waist. I turned around to face whoever this was.
"Edward!" I yelled in happiness. Why I was happy…I have no idea, maybe the drinks had something to do with it.
"Bella, I think we should go home." He said. I started to laugh.
"Ha-ha! Go homeee…….." I said wrapping my arms around his neck. I couldn't see anything because it was pretty dark, but I saw his height, bronze hair, his green eyes, and his lips.
"Bella." He groaned, or more like moaned. It was then I noticed that I was grinding with him. I giggled.
"Oops." I said. I felt so good. Just here in his arms, and it couldn't hurt me because I was numb. I was so giddy, and happy, and just……free.
"Bella, you're drunk." He said in a caring voice. But I could barely hear his voice, it was an echo in my mind.
"Edwaarrdddd….." I said. "Loosen uppuupppp." I hiccupped. I heard him chuckle. I took that as a yes and started dancing. I don't know what I was doing. I don't know if he was dancing with me, I don't care. I felt him suddenly hold me.
"Bella please." He said in a strained voice. I looked down and gasped.
"Edward! You're turned on!" I accused. I think he nodded. "Ha-ha! Edward I love this song!"
Now that don't kill me Can only make me stronger I need you to hurry up now Cause I can't wait much longer I know I got to be right now Cause I cant get much stronger Man i've been waitin' all night now That's how long i've been on ya
I need you right now I need you right now
I sang along with the song as Edward watched me. I think he was watching me. I didn't notice anyone else in the club, it was just me and Edward, and I was very, very, very, tipsy.
"I need you Edwardddddddd!" I slurred into his ear. I felt him shudder next to me and that's all I needed.
My lips went straight to his. I wrapped my arms as tight as possible around his neck, and I hitched my leg to his hip. I felt him pick up my other leg too, and I wrapped my legs around his waist. My lips were moving with his fiercely, my tongue had no trouble in opening his mouth because he was ready for me.
Even if I was drunk, I wasn't an idiot. I knew exactly what I was doing, and I loved every minute of it. The difference between doing this while I'm drunk and sober, is that now I can do this and not get hurt later, meaning I don't have to stop because I won't remember in the morning.
I let his tongue into my mouth, as my back suddenly hit the wall behind me. His tongue was everywhere in my mouth, like if it was trying to memorize it. I stopped it by colliding with it, and massaging it down. I felt Edward moan into my mouth, which made me go crazy. I removed my tongue from his mouth, and bit his bottom lip making him moan my name. I let my hands go from his hair down to his belt buckle. His hands stopped mine, but you could tell it took him a lot of power to do it. Ugh….come on…..
"Bella not here." He said. I groaned.
"Edwarddd….come on, I wanttt too dooodoo thisss beforeee I get sobebbeebberrrrrr….." I hissed.
"What?" He asked confused.
"Edwardddd, wheeennnnn I'mmmm nott drunk, I'mm inn painnn. I lovveedddddd youuuyouuu. Pleaseseeee……. I stillllll lovveeee youuuuuu. Just let me have ssoommmmeee funnn." I slurred all of my words. I didn't even know what I was saying.
"Bella, you're drunk I can't do this to you." I sighed in great disappointment.
"Fine." I finally said, but I brought my lips to his neck quickly and started sucking on his skin. I would get some piece of him in me anyway possible, I didn't care. I needed this really badly.
"Is she alright?" I heard someone ask. I didn't bother looking up; I kept my lips at Edward's neck, licking his smooth skin. It tasted….well I can't really tell at the moment, I'm not even sure if this is him right now.
"She's fine, she's drunk. Help me out here before Emmett sees us like this. I think he'll kill me." Yep that's Edward, I could be dead and still know that's him. Edward was tense under me, how do I know this? Because he felt like a frozen rock.
"Hey Edward, what do you taste like?" I asked as I felt him walking but still carrying me. He chuckled.
"I don't know Bella." He said. "You tell me." I brought my lips back to his neck, sucking on it again, trying to detect the flavor.
"I caann'ttt tasteee youuu." I said. "Oh My God! I'm going to die!" I screeched, tightening my legs around his waist. He chuckled.
"Why?"
"Becaussessess I can't taste!" I think that's what I said…..did I?
"Bella, you'll be fine, you're just drunk." He assured. I huffed, and put chest out, and my chin up stubbornly, I think that's what I did…..anyway, my chest collided with Edward's hard stoned chest, which brought me incredible friction, I did it once more, hoping that somehow I could feel the same friction again. Edward groaned.
"Bella, please….." He moaned. I shrugged, as he kept walking, with me holding him tightly.
I felt him as he moved from under me, sitting me down. We were in a car, I knew that much. He sat down next to me, but as soon as he did, I sat up on him to straddle his lap. He groaned for the tenth time tonight….if I'm keeping the right count…..
"Bella….behave." He pleaded. I chuckled.
"Do pandas get drunnkkk?" I hiccupped.
"Wow she is drunk." Someone said. I think the car was now moving. Edward wrapped his arms around me and I leaned forward to rest my head on his chest.
"Bella I think you should sleep." He suggested.
"I want a purple panda….." I whined. I heard laughing somewhere around me but didn't move. I really didn't care about the laughing….that person can suck it….
"Bella, I'll get you a panda." Edward promised.
"Ok, Edward….." I sighed. "I'll sleepppp……." I yawned. I think I yawned. My vision was still very black, and I couldn't see anything. I wanted to find Lauren and dance, and I wanted to kiss Edward, I wanted to fly too. I didn't know what to do with myself. I didn't know what was going on. All I know is that after what seemed like hours of giggling and hiccups, I finally fell asleep.
Ta-da! Tell me what you thought, if you liked it, and what not. lmao. Ok, here are the lyrics to the song, I suggest you listen to them to fully understand what I mean.
I've had a little bit too much All of the people start to rush. Start to rush babe. How does he twist the dance? Can't find my drink or man. Where are my keys, I lost my phone. What's go-ing out on the floor? I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore. Keep it cool what's the name of this club? I can't remember but it's alright, alright.
Chorus: Just dance. Gunna be okay. Da-doo-doo-doo Just dance. Spin that record babe. Da-doo-doo-doo Just dance. Gunna be okay. Duh-duh-duh-duh Dance. Dance. Dance. Ju-just dance.
Wish I could shut my playboy mouth. How'd I turn my shirt inside out? Inside out babe. Control your poison babe Roses with thorns they say. And we're all gettin' hosed tonight. What's go-ing out on the floor? I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore. Keep it cool what's the name of this club? I can't remember but it's alright, alright.
Chorus
