Sorry for the late posting, had a hard time with a few things…Just a little more music…I don't own Twilight; just borrowing the characters, the story however is mine. This story is not beta'd so any mistakes are mine.

Chapter 29: MAGIC OF MUSIC (BPOV)

I couldn't have asked for a better birthday. Everything was going according to plan. It seemed like the torturing of our outfits was working on the boys. I was glad my dad gave me the camera and brought it with me. Damn Emmett and his picture taking but I guess that's what older brothers do, embarrass you more than you want. Dinner was amazing and while I was really full from dinner, I could still eat some dessert. I felt so embarrassed with the birthday song, but I was actually really happy that Edward was sneaky. I knew he was up to something but didn't know what. There weren't any games on tonight that I knew of or my dad would've said something. But my plan to sing to him, that was going to be the icing on the cake. We had it all figured out, Rose would sing first, then Alice and then we'd do the group thing and before we were going to leave I would sing an old song, I just hope the dj had the song.

I knew Rose was going to knock Em out with that Lita Ford song, I heard him tell some friends one time how he thought for an older chick she was hot. That's where she got the idea to sing that song. She said she was going to tell him that no old chick had anything on her, at least not tonight. I knew that would stump him until she started to sing. I don't know how Alice knew that Jasper was a Cyndi Lauper fan, knowing my best friend he probably slipped and she used that to get what she wanted. I asked Leah if she was going to sing for Jake but she said he'd heard her sing many times at church when she was younger. I think it would be cool to embarrass him since we were embarrassing the rest of the guys. Angela said she'd sing a song but knew Ben would get mad because the song was pretty dirty. That's where we got the idea of doing I want your sex by George Michael, those boys are so going down with this bet.

I wasn't expecting the king and queen of assholes to show up tonight but it did appear that half the school was there. When Edward told me not to let them ruin my buzz and we were right where we belong, I knew he was right. It felt so right hearing him say that and kiss me on the cheek even though I wanted it on the lips. It was bad enough everyone stared when he calmed me down and made me blush a little. And just like we predicted the boys wanted their stupid prize, there was no way they were gonna win. Once we figured out our moves there was no chance in hell of them winning. Ang with her brilliant idea of making them sign the napkin was perfect. They thought we'd forget, stupid brother of mine can't whisper for shit. When they called Rose up the stage, I knew Emmett was a goner. I thought he was gonna get up and go pummel someone when they started whistling and stuff but it was Edward that got up. I gently pulled him back down and smiled to him, she was just having fun after all. I'm so happy that it's all working out, I can't wait to see Edwards face when I sing to him. When Alice went up to give Randy the papers we had written the songs on, she asked him if he had the song because it wasn't in the book. She told him it was my birthday and it would mean a lot if he could find it. He said it wouldn't be a problem and just to let him know when I wanted to sing it. I was relieved yet nervous at the same time, the words to this song couldn't be truer and I'll have to change up a line or 2 but my point should still come across. If that bitch Jane looks over here one more time, I'm gonna walk over there and smack her across the face. Fuck get over it already, he dumped you and soon he'd be mine.

I needed a boost after all that gyrating we did and then the boys with their swoon song. I liked how they made Jasper go first, and sorry ass Jake and Ben didn't even sing but its ok they still got the girls of their dreams. I was thankful when Ang wanted a smoke even though I just had one with Edward. But I knew she meant to smoke up not smoke a cigarette. It was a little hard to smoke a joint outside with people coming in and out, so we walked to the side of the building and hit it a few times. I felt more relaxed and a little parched. The only 2 downfalls of smoking weed, cotton mouth and the munchies but well worth it if you ask me. I mean people get into accidents all the time for drinking and driving. I don't think I've ever heard of someone getting killed because the driver was stoned. There have been times when I drive home from work stoned but I was still in control of myself as well as bruiser. As we headed back in, those two skanks were walking out; we just gave them a glare and walked to our table. I sat back down next to Edward and my hand automatically reached for his. I guess he didn't have a problem with PDA cuz he didn't even flinch; he just took it like it was normal. Strange how we are so drawn to each other, like two magnets. The electrical shock was still there but I guess I was just use to it now. Maybe it meant something but right now I just want to enjoy my buzz.

I was thinking to myself that I really wish my dad would let me off grounding, how am I going to start a relationship with Edward when I can only see him at school or 15 minutes after work. I gotta really get on my dad's good side and see what I can do to get this shit lifted, maybe I can make a deal with him. Ya that's it, I'll have the pixie help me too. If I stay out of trouble between now and Thanksgiving break, finish my community service and keep working at the store to pay him back, maybe then he'll let me off. I'm already going to miss homecoming which really isn't that big a deal but I am going to miss Halloween. That sucks since it's mine and Alice's favorite holiday, aside from Christmas. This year we were going to go as the wonder twins, you know from the justice league? Ya I didn't know who they were either but Alice said she saw it on an old cartoon so I couldn't argue with her. She was going to be Jayna, the girl, and I was going to be Zan the boy. I wasn't too thrilled with that but she made a point in telling me she already had the short hair and mine could be easily put in a wig. Of course all this was decided before we met Jasper and Edward so who knows what will happen.

"Bella, are you ok?" It was Edward asking, I must've zoned out thanks to Ang and her chronic.

"Ya I'm fine, just thinking about a few things. I'm sorry did I miss something?"

"Uh I asked if you wanted something to drink since you finished off your coke so quickly when you came back in. I'm so going to get even with you for smoking without me" he whispered in my ear and it gave me the chills. It wasn't scary chills, quite the opposite it made me excited.

"I'm sorry sweetie, ya I'd like another glass thanks." I kissed him on the cheek and then whispered "I think you just did, I got chills when you said that" he just smiled really big and kissed my forehead. He kisses me everywhere but where I want, on my lips dammit. There were a lot more people singing now and it was getting later, closer to 11 than I thought. It was now or never to do my song so I said I had to use the bathroom and only asked Alice to go with me.

I don't know why I let the girls talk me into this because now I felt like so nervous. What if he didn't feel the same way? But I couldn't think like that, especially since he asked me out on a real date once I was off being grounded. "Alice, it's getting late and I think now is the time do to this" Alice just clapped her hands and jumped up and down in her freakishly happy way. "He is going to be so floored Bella, and the song is perfect. It may be an older song but the words are right. I went online to see what you were talking about and it's so perfect. Edward Cullen is not going to know what hit him." With that we walked out of the bathroom, I took a deep breath while she told Randy I was ready for the song. She walked back to the table and nudged Rose and told everyone to pay attention. I was nervous, just like at the beach but I had to "woo" Edward to make him my guy. I was done playing games and knew he was what I wanted, I just hope this works. Randy the DJ, said "Alright, it looks like Bella is up now." He handed me the mic, winked and the music started; first the guitar riffs and then the drums…here goes nothing, I turned to face the table but was looking directly at Edward waiting for my cue, tapping my fingers on the mic and getting ready to sing…

"I would climb any mountain; Sail across the stormy sea; If that's what it takes me baby
To show how much you mean to me" I
flipped my hair back "And I guess it's just the man in you that brings out the woman in me. I know I can't help myself; You're all in the world to me…

It feels like the first time, It feels like the very first time, It feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time. I have waited a lifetime; Spent my time so foolishly"
On this line I looked over at Alec then back to Edward "But now that I've found you, Together we'll make history. And I know that is must be the man in you That brings out the woman in me. I know I can't help myself You're all my eyes can see!" I breathe and really look at Edward and he's smiling bigger than I've ever seen, it touches his eyes and they look like they are twinkling in the lights. I think he understands what I'm trying to say to him.

"And it feels like the first time Like it never did before It feels like the first time Like we've opened the door, It feels like the first time Like it never will again, never again!
It feels like the first time It feels like the first time It feels like the very first time
Talkin 'bout it feels It feels like the first time Oh, it feels like the first time It feels like the very first time!"
I point right at him and wiggle my finger to come towards the stage and he stands and heads my way. He's standing in front of me and I'm just singing to him now.

"Open up the door, Won't you open up the door! It feels like the first time It feels like the very first time It feels like the first time It feels like the very first time It feels like the first time It feels like the very first time."

The place is just jumping, everyone clapping and whistling. Before I can hand Randy the mic back, Edward is pulling me down and kisses me right on the lips in front of the whole bar. I hear whistles and clapping and more whistling but all I can focus on is Edward kissing me. He finally pulls back and I hand Randy the mic and mouth a thank you to him. He just winks and says "lucky guy". The crowd is still clapping and I look at my friends and it looks like Alice and Rose are going to cry. Leah has her head on Jakes shoulder whispering something in his ear. Edward stops us before me make it to the table and says "Bella, how do you know that song? It's pretty old like from the 70's. You always keep me on my toes, don't you? That was the most amazing thing I've ever heard. I know it's probably too early but will you be my girl? I know we haven't gone on a date alone yet but I…" I cut him off and kiss him with all I have and my hands find their way to his hair. I pull back from the kiss giving him smaller kisses and just said "yes I will, now shut up before someone ruins this for us." He smiled and kissed me once more but it was too late, Alec and Jane walk up to us.

"What the fuck was that Bella? Why are you slamming me? I didn't do shit to you or this punk." Alec says very angry getting up in my face, that's when I smelled the alcohol on his breath. "You were the one that fucked up our relationship by sneaking around with him when we were dating"

"Alec you were an ass to me and you know it. You ruined what we had by having me arrested. You think you're so much better than everyone well guess what you're not. I'm with someone that knows how to treat me right, now back the fuck off." I said to him in an enraged tone. I could tell Jane was trying to get him to back off but he pushed her away. Alistair came up behind him. "Forget her man; there are better looking chicks out there than this bitch."

"Ya like you'd ever find one. If you come near Bella again I'll fucking beat your ass like I should've done when you attacked her a month ago?" Edward had pushed me behind him and was totally pissed. My brother jumped up and asked Edward "what did you just say?" Shit the cat was out of the bag now and I don't want things to get out of hand.

"Please Em, don't do anything. I'm fine and we don't need these people to ruin my birthday. Please Edward, let it go." They exchanged some more words and a little pushing happened but they didn't fight. It took Jasper, Ben and Jake to get both of them away from Alec and Alistair, I really didn't want them to fight but the last words they said to each other was "this aint over." Jane walked over to Edward and me and tried to apologize but I said "Jane save it ok. Just go handle your brother like you always do." And with that she walked away. I was grateful that we were going to leave anyways but Emmett wasn't letting it go, as soon as we got out in the parking lot he pulled me to the side.

"What the fuck happened a month ago and how come I wasn't told?" I told him what happened and why I didn't want him or dad to know, this was the perfect example. I didn't want him to beat the shit out of Allistair and get arrested and go to jail; that I had begged Edward and Jasper not to say anything. They were always at work when I got off and made sure that I was ok. He wasn't happy and then walked up to both the Cullen brothers.

"If anything like that ever fuckin happens again you better fuckin tell me. She's my little sister and I'll be the one to protect her. What if that had happened to Rose? Wouldn't you get pissed at me for not telling you?" He had a good point and they both said they were sorry that they wanted to tell him but I had asked them not to as long as I agreed to let one of them be there after work. It took Rose a few minutes to calm him down and when she did Emmett said "Alright fuckers give us that half blunt you got for the ride home." And just like that Emmett wasn't angry anymore. It could've been worse and I'll have to bribe him not to say anything to my dad. We gave him the half blunt since we had a joint of the chronic from Ang; she was giving me a quarter as a gift for my birthday but didn't want to carry it around all night.

Aside from the fuckery that was Alec, my birthday has been great. Edward let Jasper drive back home so we could sit in the back together. My thoughts were to make out but we just sat back there and smoked the joint. Jasper took a few hits but Alice didn't instead she played radio DJ. Emmett and Rose were behind us with Jake and Leah and I could see they were clam baking because Rose kept trying to open the window but since Emmett was driving he must've locked the windows. Rose was getting high whether she liked it or not. I was just glad she calmed his ass down, she must've told him to let it go and he could drive her car. I had to admit, he looked funny driving such a small car. I wonder when he's going to buy that jeep that he's been saving up for. I was pulled out of my thoughts to a kiss from Edward on my hand. "What are smiling at beautiful?" he asked. "My giant brother driving your sister's car, he looks so small. Look." Edward turned around and started laughing and was flipping them off. By the time I knew it we were already on the outskirts of town. Emmett had turned off by the rez to drop off Jake and Leah.

I got a text from Jake that said "Your ass is mine tomorrow beatch! Happy birthday!" I wasn't sure what that meant, I guess maybe he's mad about the Alistair thing too but oh well, my boyfriend handled it. Wow that just sounded weird saying Edward was my boyfriend now. We still had about a half hour till I had to be home and asked Jasper to stop at the gas station so I could buy more smokes. I had to do anger management tomorrow and my dad wanted me to come by the station for a couple hours of community service. Now that I was legal, I could buy my own smokes instead of Emmett getting them for me, it felt nice. I got out of the car and Edward grabbed my ass, I shot him a look and he smirked at me. Already with the hands this one, I tell you I say yes to be his girlfriend and he thinks he can get all handsy well two can play that game.

I grabbed them a soda since I knew they had to have cotton mouth just as bad as I did and got my smokes. The damn guy didn't even card me, what the fuck! That was the whole point of me getting them. I got back to the car and handed them the drinks, Edward said he would've shared with me but appreciated the thought. Smart ass Jasper said from upfront "oh now you're gonna share you sorry bastard, you can't even handle it when I take a sip of your water. I guess you gotta have Bella spit to share huh?" I busted out laughing almost spitting out my Sprite all over Edwards car and into Alice's hair. We pulled out of the gas station and headed home. I leaned my head on Edwards shoulder and he held my hand, what a perfect way to end my birthday.

We pulled up the house but my dad's car wasn't there which was odd because he told us all to be home by midnight. Well Emmett got to stay out until one but still. We walked in to find the living room light on and a note on the board…Went to Sue's call when you get home…Dad. I called from the house phone that we were home, and he said he was staying there since he'd had a few beers and didn't feel like driving home. The wheels in my head started spinning, so I asked him, "Dad since I got home a little early is it ok for Jasper and Edward to hang for a bit? We're just gonna play some games if that's ok with you." "Bells, you know that you're back to grounding tomorrow right?" "Yes dad I know and I have my class in the morning at 10 and then to the station for a few hours of community service. Please daddy…" I pulled the old daddy card just to get my way. It must've worked or he was pretty buzzed because he came back with "ok but not too late Bells." "Thanks dad, for everything. I'll bring my camera tomorrow so you can see all the pictures we took tonight. Be safe and I'll see you tomorrow about 1. Love ya." He said his good-bye and hung up. I turned around to a shocked Alice and a smirking Jasper and Edward.

**AN: So there you have it, they are officially a couple. I had a hard time deciding what song to use for her to sing to him and this one has always been a favorite of mine. Tell me what you think. Until next time~jesigrl**
