Chapter 21: Night out
Soundtrack : Talk Like That by the Presets

The loud bass rang out from the speakers, sending deep, rhythmic vibrations all through the club. The flickering party lights illuminated the many bodies moving to the music on the dance floor. The DJ was rocking the house and the bar flowed freely with drinks. It was déjà vu back to the night of Jessica's bachelorette party, the first night that I saw Edward. Who would've thought I'd be here now?

I was sitting with my friends in our usual booth, taking a break from the dance floor. Jess and Mike were still in their newlywed phase, Ange was newly engaged and starting to stress out about wedding preparations. Rose and Emmett could hardly keep their hands off each other and Alice looked at Jasper with the most loving eyes that was completely reciprocated. I couldn't be more happy for them.

Edward had to work that night so he was busily taking orders from intoxicated girls, throwing themselves at him. It didn't make me jealous or anything that he was around so many girls that were wearing….well practically nothing because I'd come to realize that Edward didn't actually want that. I mean, I still don't know what he sees in me – plain ordinary Bella – but I'm glad he sees something because what would I do without him?

The couples all around me were buzzing with so much love it was making me dizzy. So I excused myself to go look for Edward at the bar. They barely noticed me going, they were so…occupied.

As I walked away, I glanced back at my friends. They were like in their own little world where nothing bad happens. Where they just have each other and the chaos of the world and of this party could never touch them and how they felt for each other.

It was so beautiful and I just needed Edward there at that right moment. So I hurried on to the bar but of course my clumsiness hit and I tripped over someone's foot, falling to the ground.

Just before I hit, two strong arms grabbed hold of me and pulled me up. They circled around my waist and I struggled to get out but they had an iron grip on me.

"Thanks for the save but I'm just going to find my boyfriend." I tried to explain but the arms didn't budge. They were so tight around me I couldn't even turn around to try and see who it was.

Suddenly a voice whispered in my ear, "It seems like you found him." I immediately recognized the voice. I spun around quickly and wrapped my arms around him.
He chuckled. "A little excitable now aren't we?"

I let go of him just slightly so that I could kiss him. Edward eagerly responded pulling me ever closer so that every part of my body was touching something of his. It was utterly exhilarating. All too soon, Edward let go.

"Bella, it's kind of a little crowded here." he said, kissing my forehead affectionately.
"Eric's got me taking a break so we should go back to your friends. My feet are killing me."

I smiled gingerly before taking his outstretched arm as he guided me through the masses of people. We finally reached our friends.

"Where's our drinks?" Emmett said. "You come from the bar and don't even get us some drinks? What is this little brother? Have you forgotten all your manners?" Rose slapped him on the shoulder playfully before placing a tender kiss on his lips. That was enough to shut him up as he went in for a more passionate kiss.

"Whoa, guys. Get a room!" Alice complained, shielding her eyes from the sight and curling up closer to Jasper to get out of their way.

"Oh, like much can be said for you Alice!" I teased, not forgetting the last…incident we had. Jasper's face turned bright red with embarrassment. Alice just laughed.
"Oh, we had a room. You just came into it!" We all exploded with laughter. To tell the truth, I couldn't be more happy that Jasper was the one that we walked in on with Alice. I mean if it was any other guy…

And on the plus side, with the addition of Edward, Jasper and Emmett it meant that our group was in even numbers, each person with their significant other. Everything just seemed to be coming into place perfectly.

We chatted over the loud music for too short a time – it's true when they say time flies when you're having fun no matter how cliché you think it is – and soon Edward had to go back to the bar. He kissed me sweetly before waving goodbye to everyone else and disappearing in the crowd. Jess and Mike left to go dance and Angela pulled Ben along gingerly. Emmett and Jasper went off to get some more drinks and so just Rose, Alice and I were left behind.

Rose leaned back against me, propping her feet up on Alice's lap. I put my arms around Rose to keep her in place and make sure she was relatively comfortable and Alice put her hands across her claves, securing them on her lap. We sighed, relishing in the familiarity of the moment.

"A lot has happened." Alice said, voicing the thoughts that occupied all our minds. We agreed with a silent nod.
"I don't believe it." I said and Alice and Rose nodded enthusiastically as well.
"I mean, you're right Alice. You were right, I think. You said that those guys were out there and right now, I really think that you are right." I said, in utter amazement, still trying to convince myself that this was true.

"But it's way too good to be true." Rose said conclusively. That's what the nagging voice in the back of my head kept reminding me. It shouldn't have been that easy, that simultaneously all three of us just managed to find that perfect guy who we truly believed could be the one. After so little time? It was impossible….wasn't it?

"Maybe. Or maybe we've just been struck lucky. I mean are you really going to try and fight this? When it is so unbelievably perfect? So what, if it happened so weirdly? I mean, I love how it's all just worked out so wonderfully. Don't you?"

Alice paused for dramatic effect but Rose and I knew better than to try and answer her question because before we could even take a breath she started off again.

"So, I don't care but this is so perfect. I mean, Edward is amazing Bella. I've never seen you this happy. I mean, you are definitely not bored, he keeps you on your toes, spoils you rotten and we've seen this completely new side of you that – and I'm not saying I didn't love you before because I did – but I like this new you a whole lot better. And you Rose! I mean, I never knew there could ever be a person so perfect for you as Emmett is. He knows exactly what to do with you and what's more he makes you so happy. No, not just happy. Completely ecstatic. I mean, I know he fits all your little criteria and you guys are like SO in love it's crazy. And as for me. Well, I told you all already and so yeh, I really think that Jasper is the one this time. So what is the point of fighting it? I don't care how it happened so long as it did."

Alice paused, to take a breath this time. Rose and I sat in silence, contemplating the truth in all her words.

"There are four more days until the new years. In four nights time we are going to be at Nessa's party and my philosophy will be fulfilled. We'll be there with the three hottest, sweetest, most perfect guys ever made in the history of the world. So, are you guys still in?"

She looked from Rose to me and back again, waiting for a response.

"Yeh, I guess," I said, still occupied with my thoughts as Rose started to get up. Alice and I looked at her expectantly, her face expressionless.

Suddenly she broke into a wide smile.
"Well, hell yeh! Of course I'm in it. You never know, Alice might be right all the way and we will all end up marrying the boys!" We all laughed at the not quite absurdity of the idea.

"Come on, girls. Enough talk. Let's dance!" And Rose grabbed our hands, pulling us to the dance floor, bopping up and down to the music and singing along to the lyrics.

I danced around with them, ignoring the pain my heels were causing me, and trying to 'dance' in the room full of people but my thoughts were elsewhere. Well, they were on Edward actually. And the fact that maybe Rose and Alice were right. Maybe, very possibly and definitely hopefully he was the one. I guess I'll just have to find out….
