I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT

A/N: Took awhile for me to come up with this.

SPOILER ALERT: THEY WON'T BE APART IN THE NEXT CHAPTER. HOORAH!

I just wanted this chapter to be sort of a leeway for the closure of their problem.

DON'T HATE ME PLEASE! -_-

ENJOY! :)

Will update within this week!

Chapter 26: Jealousy and Throwing Up

EPOV

I don't like Jacob Black. In fact, I hate him.

It took every ounce of me to restrain from strangling him right in the middle of his office and hanging his body out his office window when he hugged Bella and kissed her cheek.

My eyes went wide at that. I was so jealous I'd combust at any rate.

He ruined the moment and I Bella had. What a fucker.

That fucking Black is sleazy.

I fucking wanted to rip his arms off his torso when he hugged her. My hands balled into fists, I was shaking so hard from trying to stop myself from killing Jacob Black.

I caught Bella after he put her down with no caution. When his hands touched her, trying to help her, my eyes shot to his.

I glared at him like there's no tomorrow. I wanted to take him then and there. I was never fond of him even Tanya convinced me to give it a try back then. They were close but I never gave and never will give shit about him. Specially now.

I know he has something for Bella, but it's not enough for what I feel for her.

Bella and I share something incomparable; no one can ever have it nor feel it.

Just by the mere graze of our skin send shivers down my spine, no one can affect me the way she does. I know in some crazy way, Bella feels it too.

And Black is here to ruin everything for us.

I continued to stare him down, claiming Bella. I know, I know. I do sound a jerk by this, but I only want Bella to myself. He can't have her.

This isn't just some male macho thing. We're talking about my life here.

I know he took the hint, but he didn't back down. He returned my glare and this won't look good.

He's staking his want as well.

I won't let him have it. Not now, not tomorrow, not in a million years. I'd do whatever just to be with Bella.

I felt Bella tug my arms, and I've said enough to Jacob.

"Black," I warned.

"Cullen," he shot back.

Warning delivered.

Then he turned to Bella, "I'll see you, Bells." He leaned and kissed her cheek while looking at me.

I felt tremors down my body out of anger and tons of jealousy.

Fucking Black is pushing my buttons.

I was glad Bella looked pissed rather than happy about Jacob kissing him. At least I had a little amount of hope that she didn't like it.

I let Bella and Angela off early and I headed back to the office to get my car keys. I didn't know what to do or where to go. I'm just fucking pissed.

"Fuck!" I pounded my fists on my desk and tugged hair. "Damn it!"

I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to calm myself down.

That fucking Black!

The only reason why I pursued his company was because of his connections and its standing in the business field. If it weren't for that, I'd leave him be.

I want to punch myself, feeling so fucking stupid.

I would have lesser problems concerning Bella and I if it weren't for my fucking competitiveness.

Someone tapped lightly on my open door and saw Eric, my assistant.

Shit. I forgot to close the door.

He cleared his throat and he looked frightened. "Mr. Cullen… Sir…"

I looked passed him and saw the five people in this floor excluding Eric look at me with frightened faces. I didn't mean to scare them off.

I cleared my throat and felt slightly humiliated but this isn't the first I've lashed out on things or screamed in the office. They should've seen this coming. "Yeah. Sorry about that. What is it you want?"

"Th-there's a phone call f-for you. I told him this isn't the best time but he insisted it's urgent."

"I'll take it," I said and went over to where the phone was, not even bothering to ask who it was.

"Mr. Cullen speaking. Who is this?"

"Mr. Cullen! Yo! Wazzup man?" Jared's voice echoed from the speaker.

I rolled my eyes. "Jared! What d you want? I'm in the middle of something."

"Dude, seriously, stop working and have some fun! Look, Kim's celebrating her birthday tonight at a new club. I want you to be there. I won't take no for an answer."

I sighed and rubbed my forehead, suddenly getting a headache. "I don't know man… I've got a lot in my hands right now…" I said lamely.

"Anthony, if you don't show up later, we know exactly where to drag you from. I'll SMS the address. You better show up or I'll have Sam fuck you."

Then the phone clicked.

I pinched the bridge of my nose again. "Bye." I muttered after Jared put the phone down.

I told Eric and company they could go and I drove as fast as I could to home.

I wasn't planning on going anywhere. I even shut my phone down because they kept on calling me. I went to sleep only to be woken by Sam after a few hours.

I walked grumpily to the shower having no choice and took a quick one.

"Sorry. Jared won't leave me alone," he smiled.

"Yeah. When did he leave us alone?"

Sam chuckled.

There was a lot of things going on in my head and I was a bit thankful for Jared's invitation. "Will you be drinking tonight?" I asked Sam.

He's the one other than myself that I trust my Volvo with; not fully, but still.

Sam rarely drank alcohol. When he does, he doesn't end up like most of us do. It's usually given that he's always our designated driver when we were seeing the world upside down.

"Do you really need to ask that?" he said.

I grinned at him, "Good! Because I had the longest day of my life and fucking Jacob Black was in it." And sped off.

The bar was packed and we stopped by the bar to get a few drinks.

Sam knows immediately I was in a bad mood because of Jacob Black. "What's with Jacob?" Sam asked.

I sighed and took a swig of my Johnny Walker. "He's making a move on Bella," I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose. Just the thought of it makes me quiver in anger.

"And this bothers you, because…?" he prompted.

I looked him in the eye and simply said, "Bella."

"Oh. Right!" he smiled.

"He was fucking testing me when he kissed her on the cheek this afternoon. I wanted to kill him for touching her like that. I'm… jealous of that." I admitted.

He had the freedom to touch her hand, or kiss her cheek without hurting her while my mere existence makes her repulsed by me or… hurt, maybe.

I told Sam how much I felt about her and everything I've thought over and how I need and want her so bad. I never thought a person could affect me like this. It's… it's unbreakable.

We headed over to the VIP, where we were greeted by our fellow frat brothers. It felt like home coming or just another celebration of our fraternity. It was great having time to chat with them, it feels like such a long time since I talked to most of them. It made me feel quite happy.

"There's my brother from a seagull! How are you Anthony?" Jared put his arm on my shoulder. "Fuck you Jared, fuck you! Just be thankful I was feeling a lot of stress lately, otherwise I wouldn't be here."

He chuckled."I love you too, bro! Shut the fuck up about work! We're at a club, have some fun!"

The drinks came along and I felt a little hot and unbuttoned a few on my polo. "Oh, by the way, I've got something for ya!" Jared wiggled his brows. I don't trust him enough to give me something that won't spell 'trouble'.

"Here he goes." Sam said and rolled his eyes. "Do you have a clue?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Whatever. You'll love it Anthony. Just wait for a few, it'll be here in a bit."

I braced myself for whatever it was and took more swigs of alcohol, I needed a bit of courage for what her has in store. Jared is one hell of a friend when it comes to surprises. I remember in college, he told Sam and I he had presents for us in box back in our rooms. Indeed, there was a box. A huge box where the strippers were in.

I felt someone's arms wrap around me and whispered, "I missed you, Cheri!"

Turns out I needed more than what I drank. I was as hard as stone; I was immovable in my seat. I saw Sam shake his head and give a warning glance to Jared. I glared at Jared, he's in so much trouble right now.

I removed Tanya's grip on me and moved a little farther from her. I barely looked at her when I nodded just to be polite enough.

"Like it, huh?" Jared elbowed me. I hugged him and patted his back a little harder than usual. "Oh I love how you are in deep shit," I said and laughed then I released him.

He left us alone and dragged Sam with him. Sam tried to make a bunch of excuses on staying but Jared wasn't having it. Well, there's no point in staying. I stood up, took bills from my wallet and laid it on the bar, leaving Tanya.

"Edward! Wait!" she pulled me. "I know you're mad… or something, but can't we hang out? Just for tonight?"

I didn't expect this from her but I didn't want to be involved with anything related to her. She stepped in front of me, impeding my exit. "Please?" she begged. "I'll be good, I promise."

I deliberated for a moment for I felt like I owed her something for taking her back then dumping her the next. It may be a good idea to clarify everything first from the past before moving onto the future. I nodded.

We took a seat on the other edge of the couch. Tanya wasn't as talkative as she is with me. She tried to initiate a conversation but I end up giving very short answers. I wasn't interested at all in this.

Sam sat a few feet away from me, occasionally giving me looks, asking if I was still okay and if I needed some recuing. I mouthed an 'I'm fine' to him and looked back at Tanya.

Tanya's beauty is awe-striking. She looks like she's made of billions of dollars and people would gladly pay for looks like hers, but… she held nothing on me. Back then, sure I was so proud my girlfriend's a supermodel, but that doesn't make it entirely. She's kind and loving despite everything and I know she didn't want things to happen the way it did.

Still, I'm not drawn to her. My feelings for her are nothing compared to what I feel for Bella. No one else comes close to Bella. To me, she's everything I've wanted and just the thought of here made me smile from ear to ear. Thinking of her made me want to leave right this instant.

"Edward? What are you smiling about?" Tanya asked.

I hadn't notice I was smiling. I think I looked like a dork for a second there. "Nothing," I said.

Then it dawned to me that she was closer to her than she was awhile ago. She leaned in front of me, her other hand was grazing over my leg, fiddling with my jeans while she held a martini in the other. I shifted slightly, cursing the coiled space because I can't move any further.

"Okay… I think I have to go," I said, preparing to stand up, but she tightened her grip on my jeans.

"What? Why? Can't you stay a bit longer? We just sat down a few minutes ago… and the… reunion…?" she said the last part with a shrug. I knew I'd get grilled for leaving earlier than everyone did. The party started around 10 and I haven't been here for more than two hours, it's not even midnight yet.

"Fine," I mumbled. Then I thought I heard a familiar shriek across the room. Then I heard a familiar shriek that I searched for instinctively, then I was greeted by her warm chocolate-colored eyes.

I couldn't look away from the intensity our gazes held. I can tell she's as surprised as I am to see her here.

Quite coincidentally, I heard some of my frat brothers converse about her behind me.

"Man, did you see the chick Jacob's with?" I heard one of the guys said.

"Damn! She's hot!" Said the other one. "Jacob hit jackpot this time!"

Upon hearing his name I clutched my glass harder and I was seething in jealousy. My gaze shifted to Bella's side, or should I say where she sat… She was on Black's fucking lap and he was fucking holding her waist.

I didn't like what I was seeing. I felt so much jealousy and pain. Jealousy, well… of course I'd want o be the only ones who holds Bella that way; jealous because he could do that to her without hurting her or simply because she'd let him. Pain… for the same reasons, specially for the last one.

I never felt this way with any other girl, only with Bella. I feel so protective if her but we aren't even together. I am so fucked and I wanted to cry for feeling so stupid…being stupid.

After awhile, Bella blinked and shook her head as if trying to shake off a bad dream. She then was scrambling off Black's lap. I could see he didn't take a hint and wouldn't let go. I almost lost it until Bella accidentally punched him in the face. I couldn't help but choke out a laugh at what happened.

"What's so funny?" Tanya asked. I completely forgot she was beside me.

"Nothing," I said then looked back at where Bella and Black were seated. I saw her apologizing profusely to Jacob. Touching his hands which was on his face. Here comes my raging temper once again. Damn it!

"Oh! There's Jacob and Bella! Oh my Gosh, I didn't know they were here! We must say hi!" She didn't even let me speak and just dragged me off the seat. My brain was scattered and I wasn't open to the idea of getting so close to Jacob Black or I might just beat him up.

"Oh! Sorry! Didn't mean to pry!" Tanya said. I looked at them and saw Bella's back with her head tilted and Black's head tilted to the opposite direction which made them look like they were making out.

Tanya wasn't helping with my emotions with the wrong conclusion she came up with. I might as well send her and that mutt to someplace where no one could hear or see them.

"Excuse me?" Bella immediately faced us at once, looking frantic. "Oh, hi!" Her eyes widened as she saw Tanya and she glanced my way at a very short time, mumbling a 'hi'.

"Hey you two. Uhm.. Sorry to have…interrupted you," she seemed a bit bashful and devious. I knew Tanya was loving the 'new' couple; clearly, that's what's formulating in her head. I refuse to believe that's the truth though.

"What? Oh… Oh!" Bella's expression turned into mortified from frantic. "God, no! It's so not what your thinking!" She brushed profusely and waved her hands in the air. "It's alright, it happens all the time in clubs." Tanya laughed.

Oh Tanya! She's 'bitching' with me now… unconsciously. Sometimes, I wish I could super glue her mouth close, stitch it up and put a duck tape on it.

"No! It's not!" Bella insisted. Black had the nerve to chuckle, "Hey Tanya!" he said.

"I didn't know you guys were here. Wanna have a drink?" She offered and elbowed me. "Say hi to them, Edward!" she hissed.

"Isabella," I simply said and took a swig from my glass. Truthfully I couldn't stand seeing her with another guy. My knees were actually wobbly and my head swirled.

… and I fucking hate Jacob Black.

"Excuse us, we'd like to dance. Catch up with you later, yeah?" Jacob stood and pulled a very baffled Bella behind him. I heard Bella protest and I followed after them, wanting to stop Jacob for letting her do what she didn't want to.

Tanya pulled my hand and I was surprised by her touch. "Let's dance, Edward," she put her hands on my neck and started swaying her hips as we inched to the dance floor. It wasn't hard looking for Bella, knowing she would be with Jacob.

Jacob's hands were a little shy from her ass and I immediately regretted my slow reflexes awhile ago. I subtly moved closer to where they were slowly, occasionally being hit by Tanya's hand as she swayed and twirled. There were only a few people in between us and because I was to eager to get closer, I pulled Tanya to so we could be right behind them faster.

She giggled at that, thinking I was playing. "A little excited tonight?" she smirked and turned her back on me, creating gyrating movements on groin area.

Mother fucker, I didn't want her doing that!

Just as she pressed her ass to my crotch, Bella turned around and gasped at what she saw. I shook my head, saying it's nothing; there's nothing going on with us.

I couldn't figure out what emotion she had on her face but suddenly, she pressed her body closer to Jacob and took his arms to wrap around her waist, just below her bust.

What the fuck?

She stared into my eyes with fury and smirked. Her hips swayed all the right moves and it was so fucking pleasing to the eyes. My mouth was watering. Specially with that tight dress she has on! Her legs looks amazing! I wonder how good it would look on my shoulders? God, what was she thinking? Wearing that, at a bar? Where men are looking for everything she has. Every hormone in my body's going crazy. My dick was hardening just looking at her divine body.

Tanya laughed and pressed her ass harder on my crotch as she felt my dick grow.

Sorry, but it's not you!

As my eyes looked up, I saw her, staring at me. It was as if she was challenging me or something. Her eyes were cold, stone-hard.

The next thing that happened sent me to all kinds of fury. Black dipped his head to Bella's neck and gave a lingering kiss on her neck. I immediately froze and didn't know what to do first, pull Bella or kick him in the ass.

Black looked up to me, smiling evilly as he leaned his head to Bella's. Fucking douche! I stormed out of the dance floor, bumping Black in the process and went straight to the bathroom.

I slammed the door which startled the two people who are in there. I tugged my hair and went straight to the sink. Black clearly was enjoying this shit. My insides were churning and I can't explain how bad I felt about what I saw.

Karma sure sucks!

I punched the tiled wall and let out a loud 'fuck'. I don't know what to do with Black! I don't know what the fuck to do with Bella either. I don't know if she has feelings for that mother fucking mutt. I don't know anything!

I didn't like how he takes advantage of her. She's drunk! I could tell she's had too many alcohol.

After several minutes, I could hear people hooting and I guess it's time I went out. I decided if Jacob once again landed his fucking snout on Bella's skin, I'd gladly kick his ass for her… whether she likes it or not.

I went out the bar and saw that people were hovered and facing over the stage. I squeezed in myself to get a better view. To my surprise, my sister was up with the DJ, Jasper, holding her waist for support as she was screaming something in the microphone.

"…and my best friend! And her lovely 'friend'…" she air quoted and giggled, pointing to the bar, "will do me a favor and do body shots! Whoooo!" she screamed and everyone chanted 'body shots!'.

I was horrified at what I was seeing. A very drunken Bella who climbed on top of the bar, screaming like some college girl and a fucking happy Black who helped her and raised his hands in the air to keep the people chanting. I pushed people so I could get my way to the bar. The fucking place was crowded.

"Ayt, y'all! Listen up! The hottest boss in town is heeerrrrrrreeeeeeeeee!" The DJ said in the microphone. "And the luckiest businessman will do the honor of tasting her!" people started screaming and howls from my frat brothers would be heard all over the place.

I was running out of time to stop Bella and I couldn't push people so I could pass. Fuck this club! It's so crowded. Black was now standing beside Bella with his half-naked glory and Bella licked his chest, took the shot and barely grazed her lips to Black's as she took the lime.

The screams came alive once again. I pushed people roughly just to get my way. I made it in time just before Black was about to do a shot on her.

"Isabella!" I said, holding her hand. "Don't do this!" I pleaded.

"Who are you to tell me what not to do?"

I am just some schmuck who wants to make things right with you.

"Dude! What the fuck?" Black butt in.

"Shut the fuck up Black!" I pointed my finger at him and returned to Bella. "Isabella! You'll regret this. Please! Just, get down from there!"

People booed me for impeding the show, but I didn't give a fuck.

She bent over to my level and I could see the cheeks of her breasts popping out. I wanted to cover them, but didn't know how without offending her. She smiled seductively and said, "Watch. Me."

She put the shot glass between her breasts and gave the salt to Black. "Blow my mind, Jacob." She said as she handed him the salt.

I gripped Black's arm to stop him. "I'm warning you. Stop it!" I managed to say through gritted teeth. "Don't fucking touch me!" Black said.

"Go fuck someone else Edward! Leave me alone!" Bella shouted.

I was so shocked at what she had said. Earlier there was warmth in her eyes. There was the electricity I knew she felt as well. I didn't understand why she was like this now.

"Blow her fucking mind!" I heard Rosalie say from the speakers.

I stood like a fool, watching the fucking business man lick the salt off her inner thighs and shove his face on Bella's breasts, making her moan.

I could feel my body, rocking in trembles as I took in what was happening.

Before his lips landed on hers once again, I hit Jacob on the face, gripped Bella's legs and let her torso fall on my shoulder. I took the quickest route which was the fire exit just a few steps behind the bar and kicked the door open.

I took the stairs down despite her protests.

Luckily, no one came after us.

I put my jacket around her bum so no one could get a preview of what she has underneath her tiny dress. I didn't care how painful it is whenever her kicks get close to my dick or her pounding on my ass.

I was so mad at Black he's luck that's all I did to him. As for Bella, I just want this fuss to get this over with.

She stopped her protests in while we while I was walking down the street. I thought she passed out until she spoke.

"Would you let me down, I think I'm going to throw up."

"Oh! Sorry." I immediately set her to her feet and held her close so she wouldn't fall. "Don't touch me!" She shrieked and pulled away from me.

She slapped my face and I was completely taken aback. "Don't touch me ever again!"

I took a deep breath and didn't mind the tingling pain from her hand. I'm sure it made a big, fat, red mark on my face. She was crying and I didn't know how to make her feel better.

"Isabella… I'm… sorry. " I took a step closer to her but she took a step back. "Let me explain."

"Explain what? Huh? Explain why you've been driving me crazy with your mood swings? What the fuck is wrong with you, barging in like that when I was having fun?"

"Bella… I… know I don't have the right to do what I did earlier, but… I felt like I had to. Jacob can't fucking do those things to you! He can't just fucking touch like that…"

"Oh, right! And you can? You think you have the right to do that?" she threw her head back in laughter. "Oh please, Mr. Cullen! I believe I gave him the permission to do that to me. I can't believe how hypocritical you can be."

That hit me hard.

"Just do me a favor, go home and leave me alone." She looked me in the eye.

I took a deep breath. Her words pierced through me, but I'm not giving up like this. "But I'm here… I'm trying to make things right. I want to make things right with you… for you."

I couldn't figure out once again what she had in mind and what her emotion was. All I know is that she turned pale and sort of blue. "Bella? Are you okay?"

As if on cue, she turned to her side and threw up.

I soothed her back by running circles on her back and held her hair from her face. I wiped what's left on her lips. She wobbled, as she tried to stand straight. I held onto her arms so she wouldn't say I was taking advantage of her.

"Come on. I'll take you home."

She didn't protest as I carried her to my car and drove even if I had a number of alcohol.

Bella was fast asleep on the passenger seat when we got to her building.

I stared at her angelic face. She looked so peaceful in her sleep, like she isn't going through what she is right now. I caressed her cheek, "I'd make it right, Isabella. I'd make it right this time." I said as tears fell from my eyes.

Instead of waking her, I drove to our home so I could take good care of her until she felt better. Plus I didn't have keys to her apartment.

I'll take of her throughout the day and say my piece once she let's me.

I hope luck is with me this time. I'm manning up and I'm hoping she'd hear the things I want to say and make up to her.

End of Chapter 26!

Show me some love and tell me what y'all are thinking! :)
