Chapter Twenty-six: The Bar
AN: In response to some questions. Yes, I plan on some more chapters. How many? I have no idea. They've only known each other here four days.
I hope you guys enjoy the next couple of chapters. They are a little lemony. I'm still working on the story. The characters keep telling me they'll beat my head in if I don't tell their story.

Alice, Rosalie and I all went in Rosalie's BMW back to the same bar we had been to earlier in the week. Remembering this is where Edward kissed me first, I got a little flustered. Driving up to valet parking, I looked around. Their were more cars here this time. We'd gotten here a little before nine and the place looked as though it would be packed before ten.
Going into the bar we waited in line for a license check. I was the only one not twenty-one yet, so I got my hand stamped, even though I just had a few weeks to go to be twenty-one.
Rosalie led us to an empty table that was near the bar towards the back, but not all the way in the back. Looking around I saw how crowded the place was, then I noticed the stage in front and took a step back.
"Alice, what is this?" I said pointing out the stage. On it, I saw Jasper with a guitar, Ben with a bass guitar, Emmett behind drums and Edward was behind a keyboard. A few other people were near them with instruments, but they weren't on stage yet.
Alice smiled at me and said "Bella, they are a cover band. Every Wednesday and every other Saturday they play popular songs from the last four decades and occasionally a few others they think people would like. Some other people help them on vocals and instruments depending on what the song needs, but the guys are the main ones. All of them sing too, again depending on the song." That wasn't what I was expecting at all. "They don't actually start playing until nine-thirty, but they'll go until two a.m. with some breaks between. They have other bands too, but they are the most popular one to come too. It helps that they are all good-looking. Girls are always throwing themselves at them, whether they are drunk or not."
Looking down, I took a deep breath. I can handle this, I know I can. Then I noticed what people were saying around us. Hearing one voice I heard "Wow, look at that girl with Alice and Rosalie, she's hot too. I'd do her." Rolling my eyes I tried to pretend I didn't hear it, but other similar thoughts were being said near us.
After a few minutes I felt someone behind me wrapping their arms around my waist and pulling me close. Turning my head I saw Edward beaming at me and he kissed me full on the mouth. Twisting my entire body around I deepened the kiss. "I missed you today." He whispered to me. Then stepping back I saw him admire all of Alice's hard work. "Wow Bella, you look gorgeous." I ducked my head at that and he put his hand on my chin to lift my head back to his. "Don't do that, you are gorgeous."
Trying to learn from yesterday I said "Thank you." in response.
"That's much better, now to just make you believe it." He said with his eyes burning now. He pulled me close to him with his hands on my ass and kissed my lips hard. I knew when he was done they were swollen from it, but I didn't want it to end.
Unfortunately they had to go back and start their set. When I sat down with Rosalie and Alice I heard some new voices. "That figures she's with him, she's too hot for me."
"That must be a new foster kid, it seems they only date each other and he definitely likes her more than just for fucking. Edward's never treated another girl like that."
"Stupid bitch, I wanted to have sex with Edward tonight, I wonder if I can do anything about it."
"Man, I wanted to be the one Edward dated, he's gorgeous and he's got money, I bet that's the only reason she's with him. I doubt she really likes the man-whore." The statements swirling around us were similar, some more crude than the others.
Alice said "Bella, are you okay? We are used to people saying things like that, but you aren't."
"Alice, I'll be fine. Rosalie warned me when we first met and I've been talked about before. Besides you guys are my real friends and there is no one that would keep me from Edward, except himself." I answered her.
Alice snorted "Edward won't keep you away, he likes you too much. I know he's afraid you won't want him anymore after tonight. He thinks once you figured out how people treat him and us, you'd run. Especially since you don't seem to think you are pretty, which is why we had the shopping trip today."
Well that explained quite a bit. No, these people wouldn't keep me from him. I wouldn't allow it.
Rosalie ordered some drinks and we listened while they started. Jasper had a raspy voice that I really liked. Ben's was a little more rocker. Emmett's was hard and gruff. Edward's was more sweet and melodic, like his speaking voice. I noticed that Angela sang a couple of songs up there with them as well as some others. They were really good. Much better than I thought they'd be.
Alice pulled me up after a few songs telling me we were dancing. I looked at her with my eyes wide. "Alice I don't know how to dance."
She pointed to the dance floor and said "Neither do most of those people, but they are still having fun."
Rosalie put her hands on my hips and pushed me forward with Alice tugging my hand. Keeping her hands on my hips Rosalie started to move them for me with Alice in front helping. I felt ridiculous and tried not to look at anyone sitting there watching. Ben was singing this song, but I saw Jasper, Emmett and Edward all laughing to themselves at us.
We danced for several more songs, they wouldn't let me go. I tried to get over being self-conscious, but it was difficult when people were still whispering about us.
Finally letting me go I needed to sit down and catch my breath. Going over to the bar I sat down and ordered a drink. Alice and Rosalie never stopped dancing. I was sure they were much better dancers without me.
Stumbling up to me was an extremely drunk guy and he said "I saw you dancing out there, you were really hot." His words were slurred and he was swaying. I was shocked he was still standing. He brought his hand to my breast then and squeezed it. When I tried pushing him away, he only squeezed harder. Then leaning forward he kissed me shoving his tongue down my throat as far as it would go. This guy reeked of alcohol and I tried pushing him off me. He seemed very strong for someone so drunk and insistent. Then I finally felt his absence from my presence.
"Leave her alone and go get sobered up." Wondering who my savior was I looked around. It was Alice and Rosalie, mostly Alice. I had no idea she was that strong. I turned to look at the stage and caught Edward's face on mine, he looked relieved.
"Edward pointed you out and the help you needed." Alice said noticing my gaze. "He can't leave the stage until the set is over, although if we couldn't have removed him, he would've jumped off the stage anyway."
I nodded and took a long swig of my drink to get the taste of that guy out of my mouth. "He was disgusting. I hope he doesn't try that on anyone else. It's a little early to be that drunk." I told them.
"Yeah well he was probably drinking before he got here." Alice said.
When the band's set was done Edward came over to me looking worried, checking me over "Are you alright? Did that guy hurt you?"
I shook my head "No, he was just disgusting."
Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me from the bar and towards a hallway near us. Pushing me against the wall he looked at me intently to make sure I was really okay and kissed me hard again. Putting my hands around his neck I pulled his mouth closer to mine, actually enjoying the feel of his tongue inside my mouth. Needing it to erase that horrible memory of the drunk guy. Edward put his hands on my ass again and brought me higher up the wall so he wouldn't have to bend down and put my legs around his waist. This was much better, just me and him. I felt his hands inside my jeans pulling me closer to him. He paused for a second when he felt my exposed ass from the thong I was wearing, but didn't stop kissing me. My hips had a mind of their own and started thrusting towards him. "Bella, I want to make you mine." He breathed.
"Please, please tonight I want you too." I said. If we weren't here we wouldn't have stopped what we were doing at all.
"Are you sure?" He asked me looking into my eyes.
"I want you Edward. I've never been more sure of anything." I answered. He kissed me lightly on the mouth this time slightly tugging the bottom lip.
Then I heard Mike's voice. "It's time for you to let her go and get back onstage man-whore. Bella, I saw you kissing that other guy too. What would your father think? You are becoming just like Edward here." Feeling Edward let me go I slid down the wall and saw Edward turn around and punch Mike in the face.
"You can say what you want about me, but not Bella. I'm sick and tired of you." Edward shot back at him. Mike looked at us in shock as we walked away.
"I'm sorry Bella, I wish you hadn't seen that or heard him talk about you like that." Edward said. Pulling his face to mine I kissed him deeply to tell him I was okay before he got back onstage.
When I got back to the table where Rosalie and Alice sat, I told them what happened. They both laughed. "What's so funny?" I asked.
"Edward has never been jealous or angry when it came to another girl, but you seem to pull out those basic instincts." Alice said. I didn't know what to think of that.
Going back out onto the dance floor this time was a little less eventful. People stopped talking about me and started to enjoy themselves. Once this next set was done we all sat down at the table and ordered drinks.
Edward made me get up so I was sitting in his lap with his left arm around my waist. I wondered what he was planning on doing in this very public place.
Rosalie said "Bella, the guys here all donate the money they make doing this to one of the local hospitals for people that can't pay their medical bills. It's not much, but it's something. Edward gets both of his loves, music and medicine. He has a double major you know."
Edward said "Are you trying to be my wing-woman, Rosalie? Why? You are almost never nice to me."
Rosalie smiled and said "I can be nice when I want to be and that was more for Bella's benefit than yours. You are much more pleasant to be around since you met her."
Emmett laughed a booming laugh and told her to leave us alone as he proceeded to give her lap dance. I had a hard time not laughing at their antics.
Edward's hand started rubbing up my thighs until he was rubbing my groin under the table. He eventually managed to get my jeans unbuttoned and unzipped. Leaning down to my ear he told me "Lean against my chest and wrap your feet around my calves." Wondering what he was up to I did as he asked and he pulled my legs further apart with his. Keeping his left arm around my waist to keep me from falling, his right hand was working it's way into my panties. I put both my hands on his legs to help keep my balance. I could feel his erection pressed up against my ass. His right hand started rubbing up and down my bare crotch. Moaning, I looked around to see if anyone heard me. Most people were ignoring us.
Closing my eyes, I focused on his hand. I was already wet for him as his finger slid in and rubbed against my core. My legs opened wider then and trembled at his touch. I felt one of his other fingers work it's way inside me while the other was still rubbing my core. Trying not to cry out I moved my hips against his hand. "Yes Bella, keep doing that. I want you too." He whispered to me. Then I felt two of his fingers inside while his thumb remained at my core, not letting up. I knew I was going to come soon and squeezed his legs.
"Turn your head to me." I heard his whisper again. I did as he asked and he kissed my mouth while working me even harder until I moaned into his mouth. My body shuddered against his and I felt completely relaxed.
I saw him bring his hand to his mouth and lick those fingers and then he put them against my lips. Sucking my juices off his fingers was slightly intoxicating as he watched with eyes ablaze.
"If you two are done, it's time we did another set." I heard Emmett say. Edward buttoned and zipped up my jeans. He stood up with me and pulled me to him kissing my lips, licking them a little.
"I'll see you later, Bella. I want to take you home tonight." Edward said and walked away. How could I refuse that after bringing me to orgasm again as he had time and time again. No, I wanted him tonight. I felt bad though that I'd only given him one orgasm. Well maybe during the next break? I'd think of something before then.
"Bella," Alice interrupted my thoughts. "Are you going to tell him you are a virgin or not? If you have sex with him it'll be hard to keep that a secret. I think you need to tell him."
"I'll think about it Alice. I'm just afraid if he knew that he would be less likely to have sex with me." I told her.
She shook her head no "Bella, I don't think that would happen, but he might try to make it a little more pleasant for your first time. I just don't want you to regret it."
"Alright Alice, but how do I bring that up?" I asked her. I was always so embarrassed about things, I wasn't sure I'd be able to talk about it out loud.
"Well I'd do it before you get to the house. Please. I want this to be good for both of you. You make my brother happy." She said to me. I nodded at her not saying anything more. How would I bring that up?
