I was dreading this evening, simply because my usual Friday night date plans with Bella were getting fucked up and I hated that. I wasn't usually one for routine but since we both kept such busy schedules, Friday was always our night. The one night we both knew we were completely free and we had a longstanding date. I had even started to plan something romantic for us to do when Alice reminded me a few days ago that today was Halloween and that Pure was hosting a huge party. I didn't want to party, let alone get dressed up into some costume she and Bella had picked out for me against my will.
The last two weeks since Bella and I spent Sunday in a cemetery revealing our darkest secrets has been somewhat more comfortable, at least for me. I don't feel that I have the story of Charlotte hanging over me anymore and I feel at ease to discuss her with Bella, both her death and her life. I am not sure if Bella feels the same about revealing her past to me though because we haven't discussed it since then. I am fucking grateful she has told me what she has and I'm not prepared to push it any further.
"Did you get your costume yet?" asked Jasper as he strolled into the living room in shorts and t-shirt and threw himself on the couch. We were both waiting for the girls to get home, Bella from therapy and Alice from wherever the fuck she was. I had no idea how Jasper kept track of that girl and I didn't want to know. Neither of us had felt the need to be overly protective with the girls since the last 'visit' from James had been over two months ago and we hadn't heard anything from him. I wasn't stupid enough to think he had gone away because the threat of him was always a constant in my opinion, but I couldn't coddle Bella any more than I already had. It wasn't good for either of us or our relationship.
"No, not yet. Bella promised me that I won't be wearing an ascot, tights or a sword. I am against all three of those. I trust her enough not to make me dress like a fucking idiot, but the curiosity is killing me man. Do you know what you are going to be?" I asked Jasper curiously as he nodded his head and smiled brightly.
"Yeah, but you have to wait until I'm dressed to see it. Alice and I picked it out together," he said cheerfully as he suddenly launched himself off the couch and grabbed us each a beer from the fridge. After he handed it to me, he pulled out his Atari system and we started a game of Pong while waiting. "So, Alice told me that Bella told you about her past."
"Yup," I replied coolly as I opened my beer and took a long swig of it.
"Did you know Alice didn't even know until all this shit happened with James? Bella never told her even though they have been friends for years. Rosalie and Emmett don't even know. Still, it's a little fucked up if you ask me, your dad offing your mom cause she's sleeping around. It's kinda like Desperate Housewives or some shit," he said with a laugh as I turned my head and looked at him incredulously.
"How the fuck do you know about Desperate Housewives?" I asked with a laugh as Jasper shook his head, clearly frustrated with himself for outing himself as a fan.
"Remember Claire, the blonde with the little but perky rack who used to scream like crazy when we …" he began to say before he trailed off and started again. "Anyways, she loved the show and sometimes she would delay fucking me until it was over. It was a little stupid considering she had a TIVO and could record that shit, but anyways, I've seen a few episodes." We both laughed like idiots as he told his story and then turned back to our beers and the game.
"I told her everything about Charlotte and then she blurted out about her parents. I felt like she felt that she was forced to tell me, but she assures me that wasn't the case and that she wanted to tell me," I explained to Jasper as he nodded his head in understanding. "I tried to look shit up online about her parents, but you know me with computers, I think I turned it on and it forced itself off to avoid me attempting to use it."
"She's a pretty well adjusted girl considering all the shit she's gone through," stated Jasper as he took a sip from his beer.
"Yeah well, she pays an arm and a leg for therapy so it's no wonder," I said with a chuckle as Alice bounced into the apartment carrying three huge shopping bags and beekeepers hat. "Do I want to know what's in those?"I asked as I pointed to her bags.
"Your costume is actually in my closet," she said with a grin. "These bags have part of my costume and Bella's in it. Where is she anyways? She texted me like twenty minutes ago to let me know she had left Dr. Andersons' office." My mind immediately panicked and as I reached for my cell phone, Bella walked in the door looking stressed.
"Have a rough day?" I asked as I followed her into our bedroom after she walked through the living room, completely ignoring everyone. We were supposed to pretend to have a good time tonight and the last thing I needed was Bella being super stressed.
"Dr. Anderson just challenged me to be more open with you about everything and I'm not really ready to get into it yet," she admitted ruefully as she stripped out of her clothes and I had to fight back the hard on that was already straining against my jeans.
"I'm ready to listen when you are ready to talk baby," I said supportively as she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me sweetly on the lips. "Jasper's about to go order some dinner and then Em and Rosie are coming over to get dressed with us. Is your costume all ready?"
"Yeah, Alice has had it in her room for a few days. She figured you wouldn't snoop if you thought we didn't have them. Trust me when I say this, you won't be disappointed in the costume. It's cool, not stupid like Jasper's," she said with a sincere giggle as I smiled at her and there was a loud knock on our bedroom door.
"If you two are done fornicating, I need to have Bella get in the shower so I can squeeze her into her costume when we are done dinner," yelled out Alice as I felt Bella cringe at my side.
"I'll be out in ten," she called back to Alice as she turned to walk towards the bathroom and I pulled her back to me.
"You have to be squeezed into your costume? Is this something I am going to approve of or will I need to be glued to your side all night?" I questioned as Bella narrowed her eyes and smirked at me.
"You'll find out soon enough Edward," she said seductively as she wandered into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Just as my hand reached out to the door knob to open it, I heard the clicking noise of the lock and cursed loudly before wandering back out to the living room and my waiting beer.
Jasper and I continued our game of Pong as we waited for dinner and our friends to arrive. Em and Rosalie showed up just before seven, at the exact same time as the delivery guy from the Thai restaurant. Once everything was situated on the kitchen counter, we all helped ourselves to some food and sat in the living room as we watched 'The Soup' on the TIVO. I had to admit that even though I didn't watch much TV, that Joel McHale guy was actually kinda funny.
Jasper and I cleaned up from dinner because it would apparently take us the least amount of time to get into our costumes, but I didn't mind. Emmett came out of my bedroom after only ten minutes looking like a Greek god and I couldn't help but giggle at the fact that he was barely dressed. "Why the hell did you need to dress so soon if you are wearing a fucking toga?" laughed Jasper as we cleaned up the last plates and tossed them in the dishwasher.
"Apparently Rosalie wants me to be covered in glitter or some shit. I tell ya, the stuff I do for that girl is utterly ridiculous," sighed Emmett as he strolled over towards Alice's room and knocked on the door, letting them know he was ready. I watched intently as an arm stretched out the door and handed him a big white bag.
"Give this to Edward and tell him to figure it out," laughed Alice from the other side of the door. Emmett strolled over and thrust the bag towards me as I nodded my head and took it from him apprehensively. I walked towards my room, like a man on death row and hung the bag on the back of my door as I reluctantly pulled down the zipper and was pleasantly surprised.
A gangster. I could handle being dressed like a gangster.
It only took me a few minutes to get dressed in the white shirt, pinstripe pants and vest, which I thought I looked pretty good in. As I was slipping on the black and white shoes that matched the outfit to a tee, there was a knock on the door and Jasper walked in holding a plastic bag. "This is the rest of your shit. A hat, a flower and I think there's a fake gun. You look good though man," said Jasper calmly as I noticed he still hadn't changed yet. "Bella looks super fucking hot by the way. Good thing you guys aren't working tonight and you can keep your eyes on her.
"What is she dressed as?" I asked curiously as Jasper started to laugh and head out the door.
"She's your slutty twin."
My mind was running rampant with possible images of Bella as I put on the fedora from the bag as well as a fake red rose that was supposed to go in my lapel. I looked good and figured that Bella probably looked fucking smoking if Jasper was even remotely close in his description of her. I slipped my wallet into the back pocket of my pants and grabbed my cell phone and the bandana which was supposed to cover my face, before closing the bedroom door tight behind me, hoping to leave the party early and come back for a little celebration of my own with Bella.
When I stepped out into the living room this time, Rosalie had joined Emmett on the couch and she was dressed like a Greek Goddess, complementing Emmett's costume perfectly. "You two look good," I said simply as they nodded their heads and I heard yelling come from Alice's room. "Should I go break up a fight?"
"Alice is having a little trouble getting into her costume. Jasper went in to help Bella with it, but I think he's just pissing Alice off more," laughed Rosalie as I smiled and took a spot on the other couch opposite of them. "We're watching Ghost Hunters Live. They're at Fort Delaware with the creepy looking guy from Crossing Jordan."
"Umm… I have no idea what you just said Rosalie. I don't want much TV, remember?" I sighed as Jasper finally strolled out of Alice's room and I burst out laughing. "You're a fucking beekeeper?"
"Fuck off Cullen. Yes, I'm a beekeeper. I get to wear shorts this sweet ass hat," laughed Jasper as he ran his hand around the brim where the edge of his met the mesh that was falling over his face. The moment his costume sunk in I immediately laughed even harder, this time with Emmett joining me because Alice walked out dressed like a bee, if bees could be sluts. She had on fishnet stockings, a tiny black and yellow striped dress with a tutu underneath, big ass black heels, yellow wings and a headband with two little antenna on it. It was fucking priceless.
I was about to make a joke about their costumes when Bella walked out of Alice's room and took my breath away. She had on a black and red pinstripe vest and skirt, with thigh high fishnet stockings and a huge pair of platform shoes that practically matched mine. She also had on a garter belt with a few fake dollar bills tucked into it and was holding a hat, which in my opinion wasn't needed. With her long dark hair cascading down her shoulders in gentle curls, she looked fucking perfect. It took all of my control not to sweep her over my shoulder and run into our bedroom to ravage her until Christmas.

Edward looked good enough to eat and I was having a hard time keeping my hands and mouth to myself as I strolled out of Alice's room and saw him on the other side of the living room. He walked towards me and swept me up into a deep kiss as his hands gripped tightly on my barely covered ass. "This ass better be in my fucking hands all night long," he groaned into my ear lowly as Emmett cleared his throat from the couch.
"We better get going before Al Capone here starts fucking his date," snorted Emmett as Edward and I both rolled our eyes and groaned.
Alice and Jasper led the way from the apartment followed by Emmett and Rose, who also looked really good in their costumes. I waited in the hallway as Edward locked the door to our apartment and then wrapped his arm tightly around my waist, his fingers practically digging into my skin. "Are you alright?" I asked as he nodded quietly and we headed down to street level to all piled into Emmett's Jeep, somewhat awkwardly. I got a wonderful spot on Edward's lap and as we drove, I couldn't help but grind my ass down onto his quiet obvious erection.
When we walked into the club, I had to smile at all the extra work that Angela, Kate and even Chelsea had put into the place to get it ready. Marcus had offered us all a little extra cash if we could help decorate, but since the party was on a Friday and I had to work during the day, I couldn't do it. "The place looks fucking awesome," I gushed to Angela as she came running over to me with a big smile on her face. The walls were already black, but there was now a few creepy looking paintings hanging where there used to be neon beer signs. The overhead lights were draped with fake spider netting and all the tables had white lace table cloths. There was also a huge fake tree in the far corner, with long branches that had crows perched on them and a couple of skulls and intricately carved pumpkins graced the bar.
"Yeah, it took a lot of hard work and Chelsea mainly hung around to get close to Marcus. Ever since he considered firing her, she's been all over him. I think he's just keeping her around for a quick fuck," laughed Angela as I threw my head back in a fit laughter and Alice joined us to give her two cents on the decorating.
I felt Edward's hand on my ass again as he leaned towards me and whispered that he was going to get us a drink. When he came back a few minutes later, he was laughing easily with Jasper, who held a drink for Alice as well. "Did you see they have a pumpkin carved like Voldemort at the bar?" laughed Jasper as Edward looked at us very curiously. It was very easy to forget that Edward wasn't really up to popular culture like movies or TV so Jasper spent a few minutes explaining to him about Harry Potter and I had to laugh when Edward actually seemed interested.
"Yeah, my husband Ben is a graphic designer and he designed and carved all the pumpkins. Marcus even gave him a few hundred bucks for his troubles even though I think he would have done it for free," Angela said with a giggle before excusing herself to get back to work.
The first chords of 'Thriller' came out of the speakers and Alice dragged Rosalie and I onto the dance floor as the guys proceeded to find us a table nearby so that they could watch us and talk. A few other partygoers began repeating the entire dance scene from the video, so we simply stood off towards the side and watched as we swayed slightly to the beat. "This party is better than I thought," shouted Rosalie over the music so that I could hear her and I simply nodded my head. Marcus had actually outdone himself tonight and I reminded myself to compliment him later in the night when I saw him wandering around, like he usually did.
After dancing for a little while, the DJ started to play the theme to the movie 'Halloween' and made a few announcements. Apparently there was a costume contest going on and cash prizes would be awarded to hottest female, sexiest male and best costume. The three of us girls headed back to the table and took our spots, on the laps of your boyfriends, while Emmett started to gush about winning the 'sexiest male' portion of the contest.
"There is no way I can't win," he laughed as Edward and I both scoffed at him, although for different reasons no doubt. I knew Edward was the sexiest male in the place, even if Emmett was the least dressed. "I'm going commando under this shit, so I can flash the judges my goods and impress the hell out of them."
"Um, sorry baby, but no one is allowed to see your goods now that we are getting married," stated Rosalie firmly as Emmett looked at her in complete surprise. "It's going to be in our vows, so don't even consider flashing your twig and berries around the place or I'll cut you off till the wedding."
"That's like a year away," shouted Emmett in frustration as we all started to laugh at him and his clear distress over being denied sex. "Fine, no flashing the junk. Can I show my ass?" Everyone groaned and rolled their eyes simultaneously as the music started up again and I took a quick drink before leading Edward onto the dance floor to 'If you seek Amy' by Britney Spears. I'm not a fan but thanks to hours of working in a dance club, I knew it would be a good song to tease him with.
The moment we stepped onto the floor, my hands immediately went to the waistband of his pants and I began moving my hips sensually against him, his hot breath now against my neck, spurring me on. I felt his hands on my hips as he pushed his hard cock further into me and couldn't help the smile that came across my face knowing full well that he was teasing me too. "So fucking delicious Bella," he panted to me as I felt his hand gripping my ass again. I bent down, my hands grazing across his fabric covered cock before turning around his body and pressing my breasts up against his back while my hands rubbed across his chest and I moaned lowly into his ear.
Love Me, Hate Me, But can't you see what I see
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy
I felt Edward's hand slip over one of mine and guide it down his chest and against his cock where I began rubbing, a little too hard for Edward's liking. "Bella, if you keep that shit up, I'm going to fuck you here on the dance floor," he murmured to me once he had turned me around to face him again, his leg slipping in between my thighs and my wet panties now rubbing against him. I gasped as I felt his finger slip between my legs and rub my fabric covered pussy gently. "So fucking wet for me already Bella?"
I simply nodded my head and he wrapped his arm firmly around my waist, pulling me as close as possible against his chest while his other hand found my ass and was squeezing it forcefully, causing several more moans from me. "I'd like nothing more than to bend you over till you grabbed your ankles and ram my rock hard cock into you right now, you little slut," he whispered to me as he licked my ear lobe and I had to take a moment and catch my breath. His words were completely unraveling my willpower.
I tried to slide down his body again, but with the firm grip Edward had on my ass, I was unable to move like I wanted. Instead, I was pleased to find that he was thrusting himself on me, practically fucking me with our clothes on and I wanted more… I wanted all of him. "Meet me out back in two minutes," I growled quietly into his ear as I left him panting on the dance floor and slipped into the backroom.
I looked around and noticed there were no other employees around so I quickly peeled off my panties and shoved them into my locker with my purse and hat. When I stepped outside, I wasn't surprised to find Edward already outside waiting for me, but his bandana was now covering his face, but not his eyes. They were hidden slightly by the shadow from his hat and he looked so fucking determined I think I could feel my wetness pouring down my leg in excitement. "Well isn't this new?" I said with a giggle as I pushed myself against him and he grabbed my thigh, hitching my leg onto his hip as Edward let out a low groan as he felt that I was now bare beneath my skirt.
"I don't give a shit if this makes it on the evening news, I am fucking the shit out of you right now," I whispered to him as I heard him shudder beneath me and I gripped onto his pants and began to undo them.
"Bella, Edward wanted me to let you know… what the fuck?" screamed out Emmett as he stumbled out the back door and stepped towards us angrily. His words sunk in and my brain immediately seemed to shut down.
"EDWARD…" shouted Emmett as he moved me out of the way and made his way towards this stranger, who I immediately assumed was James. If Emmett hadn't been so trashed and his reflexes were better, I was certain James would already be lying in a pool of blood on the floor, but Emmett was able to get a few good punches in before James pulled out a knife from his back pocket and held it up to Emmett just as Edward ran out the back door and was looking confused as fuck at the guy standing against the wall looking just like him. James started to run and Emmett followed as quickly as he could while still shouting for Edward.
How the fuck was I so stupid? There was a clear height difference between them since Edward was just over six feet and James was shorter by a few inches, but the costumes were fucking identical, even the rose on their lapel was the same. "Get inside now Bella. Go get Jasper and call the cops," Edward yelled to me as I stood frozen. "Get the fuck out of here Bella," he shouted as he ran after Emmett and James and I ran as fast as my platform heels could take me. The first person I ran into was Marcus and I breathlessly asked him to call the police as I then found Jasper and dragged him outside as I tried to explain what was happening.
"Ok Bella, calm down. Go inside and wait for the cops. I'm going to go look for them," he stated emphatically as I ran back into the club again, finding Rosalie and Alice looking extremely worried. We all went into the employee room and waited, which was the hardest part of everything. I had no idea if the guys had caught up to James or if any of them were hurt. James had a knife and the guys had nothing. How the fuck could I be so stupid, I wondered to myself as I buried my head in my hands and started to cry.
"Bella, calm down. This isn't your fault. James hasn't been around for almost two months, there was no way you could know he would be here tonight," sighed Alice as I felt her hand against my back, trying to be supportive.
"How in god's name did I not realize that it wasn't Edward?" I sobbed to her as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder and Rosalie came to join us in a group hug. Rosalie was about to respond to me when Marcus ran in and grabbed a few spare towels from the closet and ran back out the back door. Panic immediately sunk in and I chased after him, unsure of what I would find. I didn't think Marcus would be nice enough to bring James any towels if he was hurt because Marcus knew the whole sordid history and even vowed himself to make him pay.
After running for almost a block, I yanked off my shoes, throwing them into the street and kept running, only to find two cop cars at the side of the road just ahead of me. One of the officers was on his radio calling for an ambulance and my heart sunk into my feet as Jasper walked over and tried to keep me away from the scene. Alice and Rosalie were right behind me and they looked just as panicked as I did. "Who's hurt? Is it Edward?" I yelled at him, the tears pouring down my face.
"Bella, relax. Edward's fine. Emmett got stabbed but it's just on the arm," sighed Japer as Rosalie forced her way through the group of people surrounding Em who was lying on the ground, holding his arm with the towels around it.
"You scared the ever living fuck out of me Mr. McCarty," said Rose sadly as she fell down onto the ground beside him and grabbed his face, kissing him passionately and causing him to drop the towels and wrap his arms around her firmly. More blood started to come from his cut, so Alice forced it back into place and held it still, letting her friends to continue to make out.
"Where's Edward?" I asked, still panicked as I noticed he was nowhere to be found amongst the madness.
"He went after James," sighed Jasper as I hugged him fiercely, the tears soaking his khaki beekeepers shirt.
After a few minutes of being consoled, I felt Jasper tap on my shoulder and when I looked up at him, he was pointing down the street where Edward was walking back to us slowly, his head hung low. His vest was ripped slightly from his chest, but otherwise he looked like he was in one piece, thankfully. I ran towards him and hugged him tightly in my arms, apologizing profusely.
"You have nothing to apologize for Bella," he stated emphatically as we continued to walk towards the cops, including Captain Monahan who had just arrived on the scene. "He got away," stated Edward sadly as he tightened his grip on me and I buried my head into his shoulder.
"Don't beat yourself up over it Edward. We have a few ways to get information on him, like the fact that you and he were wearing the same costume. If you can let us know where you bought it, we can see if the same store sold him the same outfit and see if they have video or credit card records," explained Captain Monahan as Emmett coughed slightly, interrupting their conversation.
"Wouldn't DNA make everything easier?" asked Emmett curiously as a small smile broke out across his face.
"Of course it would, but I don't believe we have any DNA evidence right now," replied the Captain as Emmett held out his arm and unfurled his fist to reveal a small clump of hair.
"I watch a lot of CSI reruns on Spike. I thought this might help," laughed Emmett as we all smiled brightly at him, even Edward. The night had sucked but it appeared like things were finally looking up.
