[October: Album Drop date]
Bella sat at the bar in Pandemonium, drinking with Clary while waiting on Simon to make it back from the studio.
"The album dropped." Jace said. "How does it feel? You have two solo songs on it." He asked Bella as he slid her another drink.
"I feel amazing. The songs are great, and I have a music video I just shot last week, for No Good, and that's hitting Youtube at midnight," Bella said and looked at her phone. "Which is in ten minutes."
Clary clapped her hands together. "I'm excited for you to see that one Jace. Let me tell you, Simon doesn't even know what it looks like yet. It's going to stun you both. Just watch." She said and lifted her drink and took a drink.
Simon finally made it. "Sorry I am running stupid late. Jace, can I get something with vodka in it." He said and sighed as he sat on the stool besides Bella.
"What's wrong?" Bella asked, frowning.
"Tired." Simon admitted. He spent the past three weeks in the studio later than normal, hammering out the last details in the songs on the album, but also, he did an exclusive record to publish on itunes, so that was taking time.
Magnus came over. "Bella! It's time! I have the screen ready, it'll come out of the ceiling right at midnight."
Bella smiled. "Oh really? This is going to be awesome."
"What's happening?" Simon asked.
Bella looked at him. "My music video. For No Good."
"Ah, the mystery song that not even Marcus would tell me about. So secretive." He said with a smile.
Jace handed Simon his drink, and then refilled Clary's drink. "The way Clary is bouncing in her seat, I take it, it's going to hit hard."
"Oh, it'll hit alright." Clary said and drank the new drink Jace gave her.
Right at midnight, the screen lowered out of the ceiling, and the music playing in the club stopped. Everyone turned their attention to the massive screen.
The music started off simple, and it was Bella sitting on a large chair, one leg crossed over the other, her hair was in long tumbles, her makeup dark with maroon around her eyes. Her outfit was a black catsuit, with the slit down the front in a 'v' all the way to her naval, and her legs were bare, and she was wearing opaque tights that had rhinestones glittering in them, and her boots were right above her knee, and had a good heel on them. She was sitting straight up, and her arms were resting on the arms of the chair.
"I don't wanna know…. what's going on in your head, oh what a show, that crooked game you're playing, you can place your bets, play your poker face to death, but I don't wanna know, no no no…everyone is sleeping while you're getting even scheming is just what you do…"
When the bass hit, the screen flickered, the video transitioning to the next scene and she was standing with backup dancers.
"ooh-ooh-oooh, you're up to no no no,
No good
Keep your enemies close so,
You can play the wolf
But you can't escape the woods, no
Ooh-ooh-oooh You're up to no, no no
No gooodd
Up to no good
Mmm, mmm
Up to no, no no
No, gooood"
The scene unfolded in front of Simon, Jace, and all the other patrons in the club. When the bass hit and she sung the chorus, her dancing was her rolling her hips, provocatively, her hands making a fist, and hitting the air right at her hips, and she twisted her hips to the beat, rolling her body and turning and then popping her shoulders back, throwing her head back, her hair whipping the hair when she did. Then she turned and was with another dancer, a guy wearing dark pants, and just a dark vest, that was open, and did some similar motions, their rolls and hip rolls right with the beat.
The next verse was her standing there, wearing white now, her hair pulled back in a high ponytail, hanging to her waist, her makeup still a dark smoky eye with maroon highlights. Her catsuit was the same as the dark one, her tights an opaque white now with white rhinestones. She was holding a white jacket, that she had slung over her shoulder.
"Can you tell a lie, apart from telling the truth?
Push it aside, but it keeps circling you,
Convince yourself that this heaven isn't hell
But you know that a lie
No,no, no, no, noooo"
The flash to the chorus part was like the first chorus part, except there were three guys and two girl dancers with her, their hands popping as she did to the music.
"ooh-ooh-oooh, you're up to no no no,
No gooood
Keep your enemies close so,
You can play the wolf
But you can't escape the woods, no
Ooh-ooh-oooh You're up to no, no no
No gooodd
Up to no good
Mmm, mmm
Up to no, no no
No, gooood
La, la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la"
The scene faded and came back in with her sitting in a chair wearing the dark clothing again from the first scene.
"Everyone is sleeping, while you're getting even
Scheming is just what you do…."
The last chorus part left the base out, but she was standing again, looking at the camera, singing.
"Ooh, ooh, oooh,
You're up to no, no, no
No gooddd
Keep enemies close so
You can play the wolf
But you can't escape the woods, no
Ooh-ooh-ooh
You're up to no, no no
No goodddd…"
The screen faded out as the music faded. The screen rose back up in the ceiling and then there was a roar of cheers and clapping.
Clary was hugging Bella. "Damn, it looked so much hotter put all together. You are sexy as hell."
Bella smiled, lifting her drink and taking a long drink.
Magnus turned and looked at Bella, shock still on his face. "Oh my, Bella, you just got everyone in this club hot. You my little biscuit, are a sexy sexy woman. All that confidence, and your voice."
Clary looked over at Simon and Jace, who were still both shell shocked. "Close your mouths boys."
Simon found himself again and looked at Bella. "I don't think I have ever witnessed a music video like that before."
Emmett and Jasper walked up to the bar then, they were smiling wide.
"Bella," Emmett said and pulled her up in a bear hug. "You were amazing. Thanks for inviting us to come and watch your video drop tonight." He said and kissed her full on the mouth making a smacking noise and ruffled her hair a little.
Bella smiled up at Emmett when he let her down. "Where's Rose and Leah?"
"Bathroom," Jasper said. "Em and Rose have a sitter until 2am." He relayed and stepped and kissed her cheek. "Wonderful darling, I'm proud of you."
"Thank you, Jazz."
Rose and Leah made their way to the bar, and Rose hugged Bella. "Oh my god, was that hot!"
Bella laughed, hugging Rose back. "Thank you." She said and then looked over at Clary. "Oh Rose, this is Clary my roommate, Jace my neighbor across the hall and bartender extraordinaire, Magnus the owner of Pandemonium, and Simon, Jace's roommate, and also my other half on the album." She introduced.
Rose turned and looked at Simon. "Yes, Simon, I think I do remember you in high school somewhat. We moved a lot growing up, so I'm sure it was you that Aly dated in school."
"Yes, we did." Simon said with a nod. "I'm sorry to hear about her passing."
Emmett nodded. "Thank you, but let's celebrate Bella and Simon tonight."
Jace poured some shots and passed them out.
"To Bella and Simon!" Emmett said. "Congrats on the new album, and congrats Bella on a very stimulating music video that I'm sure is going to be on repeat for the next month."
They downed their shots and cheered.
Bella smiled. "I promised Magnus I would go on stage tonight and sing, it is Friday."
Simon finished his drink and stood. "Come on," he grabbed her hand. "We'll go up and get the show started." He said and the two of them went around to the backstage area. They got up on stage and the lights lit up the stage and people cheered.
"How are we doing tonight Pandemonium?" Bella called out in the mic. There were more cheers. "Everyone like the video?" More roaring cheers. "Good to hear." She said with a smile and looked at Simon, and then looked over at the DJ, and winked. 'No Good' started playing.
Simon was beside himself, watching her dancing the song out in real life, but he stayed professional, providing some backup vocals adlibbed, and her dance was slightly altered than in the video, but he didn't mind.
When the song ended, the crowd was loud as they cheered for Bella and Simon.
'Michelangelo', started playing, and Simon smiled over at her, and they went straight into the song. The crowd were into the music, and into Bella and Simon. They loved it, and Bella loved it up there. She found a place that she really enjoyed being despite being in a shell for the last four years. She was finally happy.
After the set was over, they made it off the stage, and got rushed by some fans. Simon and Bella were patient with smiles on their face and signed what their fans wanted them to sign, until they made it over to the bar.
"Amazing." Clary said, grinning wide. "Bella you are just absolutely amazing up there."
Simon snaked an arm around her waist, pulling her into his side. "She really is. Couldn't ask for a better singing partner." He said with a big smile. He looked back at her, seeing her smile, her eyes bright, and happy. Two months they had been spending time with each other in secret. Taking things slow, being behind the scenes. He had fallen completely in love with her. He dipped in, his mouth catching hers, and kissed her, not caring that they were in public.
Bella kissed him back, her hand cupping his cheek, and she smiled, looking up at him, the pure look of happiness on her face, with him smiling back at her. "Simon."
"I don't even care." Simon said with a shake of his head. "In the past I've hid my relationships, I'm not going to hide you." He murmured in her ear.
Bella smiled again and then giggled when he kissed her again, dipping her as he did.
Clary cheered and Jace was smiling big as he poured more drinks.
"Did you know they were?" Emmett looked at Jace, as he motioned between Simon and Bella.
"Yes, I did. Simon is my roommate, I know everything." Jace said in a nonchalant way.
The night ended with one last drink, and goodbye hugs to Jasper, Leah, Emmett, and Rose. October was breezy, and a light jacket was needed as Bella, Simon, Clary, and Jace walked back to the loft.
"That was amazing. I seriously am still trying to wrap my head around how Marcus was able to keep the lyrics, the song, and the video all under such secrecy." Simon said. "I have never seen you dance like that."
Bella smiled. "Marcus approached me with that song last month. He asked me what I was comfortable with doing in a video or on stage. He told me the idea behind the video, and I told him that I would do it. I felt more confident, and still do, and Clary was there to do my hair and makeup, and Angela did costumes. The filming was done in Jersey, which is why I was gone three weeks ago, for four days."
Simon nodded. "Ah, right. Well that was worth the suspense. You're performing that live on tour?"
"Yeah, that one, and the new single that will release Christmas."
"Oh yeah! Jess was talking about it in the writers meeting."
Bella nodded. "It's in production, I start recording on that one, and then our duet." She explained as they got closer to the loft. Simon had his arm around her shoulders, hugging her to him as they walked, and she felt so safe, and so normal now, compared to three months ago when she first got here.
"Then I have my own album that Marcus is putting together to drop right before the tour in March." Bella said and sighed. "So many songs."
Simon smiled and kissed the top of her head. "You are incredible, and when we go on tour together, we get to spend nights together in amazing hotels across the country."
"I like the sound of that." Bella said, looking up at him with a teasing smile. Tonight, she knew tonight was the night for both of them. She wanted to take the next step. She prepared for this, went to the doctor, got on birth control, to prepare for the next step in their relationship.
Once at the loft, Bella and Simon went into her room, and shut the door. She turned and looked at him.
"I do have a little surprise for you."
"Oh?" Simon asked with a smile.
Bella pulled the buttons loose on her button up shirt she had been wearing all night. She was wearing a burgundy bustier that was laced up the from and see through. She slipped her pants off, wearing see through black lacy panties that hugged her hips and was cheeky in the back. The bottom of the bustier clipped to her stockings which were lace fish net coming up mid-thigh. She pulled her hair down out of the ponytail and let her hair tumble down.
Simon stared at her, his cock jumping alive at the sight of her. "Bella." He breathed.
"Tonight, I want you. All of you."
"I don't have any condoms." Was the first thing he thought of.
"I went to the doctor three weeks ago, I'm on birth control. I prepared for this moment." She said as she started unlacing the front of the bustier and walked towards him.
Simon looked down at her and bent to kiss her, she controlled the kiss, making it slow and seductive, her hands moving to his shirt, unbuttoning each button slow. It did something to Simon, the seductiveness of her actions. She pushed the shirt off and let it fall to the floor. She unbuckled his belt, and slipped it out of it's loops, and then she removed his pants and his boxer briefs, and then knelt, taking his length into her mouth.
Simon hissed out a breath, moaning a little, looking down at her while she looked up at him. "You are so hot." He murmured and then reached for her, pulling her to her feet. His hands worked at her bustier, unlacing it with serious speed, and pulled it off of her, springing her breasts free, then he moved with her to the bed, bending to pull her stockings off, and then her panties. His mouth kissed the inside of her thigh, his hands groping her in all the right places as she nearly purred from his touch.
His mouth found her wet center, his tongue rolling over her clit, suckling gently, his fingers delving into her folds, pushing her through her own pleasure. Hearing her moan and gasp as he pleasured her, made him harder. Her hands fisted in the sheets as he continued his build up to bringing her to her climax. He reached his fingers further, stretching her gentle at the same time pleasuring her. She moaned as she felt the peak start. He continued to drive his tongue against her clit, rolling in circles and reaching inside her faster, until the flood gates opened, and she orgasmed hard. He drank her in before moving up, kissing her softly, and then looking down at her.
"Are you sure?" He asked and she nodded. He positioned himself outside her entrance, and the brushing of his tip against her swollen clit had her get wetter with anticipation. He slid in partially, stopping with the tip, and she moved her hips to his, bringing him in closer. She stretched around him, the slight discomfort was barely there and then she moved her hips again, pulling him all the way in. He was completely sheathed inside her now, and she was tight around him, and he moaned, resting his forehead on hers. "Are you okay?"
"Perfect. I'm not going to break Simon, I want this. I want you." She murmured, and kissed him, her tongue grazing over his. He thrust inside her slow at first, sliding out half way and then all the way back in, hitting the deeper corners inside her and she moaned, clinging around him. He thrust a little faster as she got used to his size and girth.
She gasped when his tip hit a spot that she wanted him to keep hitting. "Simon! Right there. Oh god!" She moaned, clinging around him as he pushed himself inside her deeper, hitting that spot over and over. He watched her face roll with pleasure as she opened around him, her orgasm blasting his tip, and he moaned, picking up his pace a bit more, driving himself now towards a release, and keeping hers going. He felt himself draw up, the first sign of his climax, and he went faster, driving into her deep and he released himself, his essence hitting her in her center and she moaned as she washed around him at the same time. She clung around him still, her heart beating rapidly, as was his.
He leaned down, kissing her, waiting a few moments before pulling out of her. He went to the bathroom and returned with a damp rag. He smiled at her and cleaned her up, against her small protest. He was gentle, taking care of her after a soul shattering experience. He returned to bed and slid in next to her, pulling her into his arms. "How do you feel?" He murmured.
"Simon…that was amazing. I don't know why we waited, but that was worth the wait." She sighed happily.
Simon smiled and kissed the top of her head.
"Simon…" she murmured.
"Hmm?"
"I'm in love with you…. I love you."
Simon opened his eyes, his heart doing flips when he heard her say those words. "I fell for you a long time ago. I love you too." He said and then shifted, tilting her head up, and kissing her deeply. He reached a hand up, brushing her hair back and feeling her cheeks wet with tears. He pulled back to look at her. "Happy tears?"
"Yes. I'm sorry, I cry sometimes when I'm happy." Bella said, blushing.
"It's cute." Simon murmured, and kissed her tears before kissing her again, his hand caressing her face gently. "Sleep." He murmured.
Bella nodded and snuggled closer to him, his warmth a welcome relief in the cool room.
Simon felt her relax fully against him, and he smiled, kissing the top of her head, before he drifted off to sleep himself.
