Songs- Grow A Pear by Kesha, Give by Cold

Please Review

The next day when I showed up at work, I was out for blood. I had gone shopping this morning, and I was going to make Edward Cullen sweat! As my boss, he touted that I needed to respect him, well respect was earned, and that attractive asshole hadn't earned mine. Last night, when he said I was only there for the money, it both hurt me and pissed me off. Of course, I was there for the money. Isn't that what a job was for? To earn an income, and I'm sorry, but all the lingerie and costumes that I wear cost money. So, what did I do with the extra money I got from that asshat? I went and bought a new costume. I went full-on Christina Aguilera from Burlesque and got a modified version of her outfit. If he wanted me to get dicks hard, well then, I would. But the song I was dancing to would be an ode to him.

I headed to my dressing area and got ready. I curled my hair in full curls with a large barrel curler, then fluffed it to make it bigger. There was a halter top with handprints on my breasts and boy-cut shorts that had handprints on the ass. I paired that with knee-high black boots and applied my makeup. Rose and Alice walked back to my dressing area, looking confused. I had barely said hello to them when I walked in, but once they saw my outfit, they both whistled.

"Rose, I want to dance on stage tonight. By myself."

"Okay, I'll fit you in the schedule. You sure you're ready for this?"

On the outside, I was easily confident. "Yes," I said. Rose nodded, and she and Alice left. On the inside, I was spiraling. I'd moved through so many emotions since last night in Edward's office. Okay, so I got a little high on the power I had as Belladonna. I dripped sex and allure, and that wasn't who shy little Bella Swan from bumfuck Washington was. I had come out of my shell a lot since coming here, but somehow, Edward was able to tap into every single one of my insecurities. I was attracted to Edward, and I could admit it. Just not out loud, and not to him. I just didn't understand why he was so cruel. He basically forced me to dance for him privately, and then he fucking threw it in my face. I growled and stomped my foot. I hated feeling weak. I hated getting my feelings hurt. And I hated Edward Cullen.

I watched the girls go on stage one by one, and then it was my turn. I tamped the nerves down and metaphorically strapped on my big girl panties. I took my spot and waited for the song to start. "Give" by Cold started with its heavy metal riff.

I'll give you everything but me,everyone around you twisted fame

I can't control you and your look, you silly freak, you super fuck.

I started dancing on the stage to the song, rolling my hips and teasing the guys near the stage, licking my lips and running my hands down my own body. I walked over to the pole and grabbed it near the top. I walked around it and pulled myself up high to put my legs around it and spin from the top down to the bottom in a reverse sun kiss. I rolled up against the pole a few times. I spun around the pole and did a chair spin. When my feet came down to the ground, I pulled my halter top off slowly with my back turned to the crowd, then I threw it out to the crowd and turned around. I smiled to myself when the next words of the song played.

I don't love you, you don't love me, well I can imagine

Like a little thief without a key, well I can imagine

Like a hurricane that lost its speed, well I can imagine

Like a liquored mind I've gone insane, well I can imagine

(Some people tend to think that you're just using your imagination, but I think you're one fucked up individual. Come to think of it, you are one fucked up individual.)

If I hadn't been in the middle of a dance, I would have laughed my ass off. I really hoped Edward was somewhere watching this, being a creepy stalker. I finished my dance and went backstage.

Rose usually picked up the money from the stage after each number and gave the money to the dancer who had just finished. I got my top back on, and Rose came up to me. She gave me the money but had a wary look on her face.

"What's up, Ro?"

"I don't know, B. I could ask you the same thing?"

"What do you mean?"

"I just had Edward stomp past me in a fucking tirade about something again, muttering devil girl. Edward acts differently with you than he does any of the other girls who have worked here. He's always lurking somewhere, watching you, and his eyes never leave you, regardless of who else is in the room."

"Ro, I think you're reading too much into it. He told me the night he hired me that he would be watching me. He's probably waiting for me to screw up so he can fire me."

"Why would he want to do that?"

"Because he's cruel and just the type of ass to do that?"

"Bella, what happened last night? You've been acting differently since then."

I fought the tears as a sob left my mouth. After taking a moment to compose myself, I replied, "It doesn't even matter." This man was screwing me all up, and I just needed to be gone. "Do you think it'd be okay for me to leave early? Edward still has me on lockdown for private dances."

"Yeah, I'll tell him … well, I don't know, but I'll think of something."

I started getting dressed in my street clothes. I'd come in comfy sweatpants and a really baggy shirt. I took my makeup off and smiled sadly. I looked like a lost little girl. "Tell him I'm on my period. Guys hate talking about that shit."

She laughed. "Okay. You still coming with us Wednesday?"

"Hell, yeah." I said, laughing through the tears fighting to escape. I gave her a hug and hightailed it to my car. Once I was inside, I let the tears flow. Having that conversation with Rose caused me to be even more confused. Edward was fucking with my head, and I hadn't even seen him tonight. I got that feeling I was being watched a few times, but Edward was bored with me, so I'm sure he was filling his nights with whatever he did. I was so twisted up in knots about a guy I knew literally nothing about. Was it really just because he was good looking and a really good kisser? I had no idea what things made him laugh and not just that humorless laugh. He was cold and distant, and I knew that if I continued to try with him, I would just continue to get hurt. Like I thought yesterday, he had the ability to be devastating.

On Wednesday, we were all going to a dance club in a big group. Alice and Jasper wanted to go on a date, and we all wanted to let loose and have some fun together. It was Alice, Jasper, Rose, and me. Emmett was a last-minute addition at Rose's invitation. Alice and Rose weren't sure what Edward's stance was on interoffice dating, and no one was brave enough to ask him, so this was our solution. Apparently, Emmett was going to meet us all there because he had "things" to take care of. Whatever the hell that meant, we didn't care. First thing I did was make my way to the bar and immediately downed two shots of copper camels. I ordered three sex on the beaches for Rose, Alice, and myself. For Jasper and Emmett, I ordered them each an AMF, which was vodka, rum, tequila, gin, sweet and sour, sprite, and blue curacao. It was too strong for me, but they were men—I was sure they could handle it. I headed to the table the rest of the group had snagged, and Rose was heading toward me.

"Hey, I got you a sex on the beach."

"Oh, no, I want the blue one," she said, grabbing it and drinking it.

"Rose, that has like four hard liquors in it."

"So, tell me the name, and I'll go get one to replace this is."

I gave her the name of the drink and continued to head to the table. I handed out the drinks, and we waited for Rose to get back before we did a toast. I sucked downed my drink and was starting to feel a little buzzed after my two previous shots, which I needed to be. It was weird; at work in my costume, I could let out my inhibitions and become Belladonna. In this environment, I needed alcohol to let that side of me out.

"I wanna dance," Alice said. Rose agreed. They begged me, and I asked who was gonna stay and wait for Em. Jasper volunteered. I wanted to kick him, but I joined the girls out on the dance floor. We were all dancing close together, trying to keep the vultures from circling, but when you have three buzzed, sexy girls dancing up on each other, the exact opposite happens. We were grinding on each other and dancing sexy. I was glad to dance like this and not have to take my clothes off.

Alice came up behind me and grabbed my arms, lifting them in the air and bringing them back to touch her hair and face. She put her face on my shoulder, and I turned my face toward her. Rose, not to be outdone, stood in front of me and grabbed my hips, causing them to arch and roll my body into hers. Then Rose surprised the shit out of me and grabbed my head and pulled me close to her, slamming her lips to mine.

Now, I have never been with a woman, but Rose was gorgeous, and I was surprised by how soft her lips felt. I responded to the kiss and wove my hands in her hair. She brushed her thumb over my nipple through my dress, causing me to gasp, and she plunged her tongue into my mouth. We both fought for dominance. It was over quick, but I was still a little in shock. Alice whispered that Rose was a handsy drunk. I laughed and shook my head because she had pounded that drink before we went dancing.

Rose and Alice wanted to head back to the table, and I wanted to go get more drinks. I made my way through the packed bodies to the bar. I just ordered the exact same drinks we had from before. As I headed toward the table, I was completely surprised to see Edward standing there. Well, shit, I thought.

I saw Alice nervously rock on her heels as she was saying, "Nope … no, not really. Just didn't expect to see you here."

I set the tray down at the table and noticed Edward look in Em's direction, "Yeah, well, Em told me the hype. I thought I would check it out for myself. Never know, might just be in the market for a night club."

Three pairs of eyes shot to Emmett. He ignored their looks. I, for one, wasn't surprised that Emmett had invited Edward along. Those two had one of the weirdest friendships I had ever seen, but then, I wondered if Edward actually had any friends.

I smiled to myself and turned my back on Edward, grabbed my drink and chugged half of it without even really tasting it. I slammed the glass on the table and said I was going to dance. Alice and Jasper told me to wait up, but I needed to get away from the man I was trying to ignore.

Alice and Jasper danced together, so naturally, I was left to dance by myself. A hot young guy near me was more than ready to help me out, so I let him get closer, and we danced together. I looked toward the table to see what Rose and Emmett were up to.

Rose was whispering in Emmett's ear, and Edward was staring right at me. He looked mad again. Rolling my eyes, I shook my head and continued to focus my attention on the guy I was dancing with. I decided to play it up for Edward. Eat your heart out, asshole. The guy was asking my name and age, and I answered him as best as I could over the loud music. He made me laugh a few times. I looked over at the table again, and Edward now had his fists clenched.

I felt a sick pleasure clench in my stomach at his anger and told myself I wasn't gonna look over there again, so I circled my dance partner, putting us in opposite spots now. "Grow a Pear" by Ke$ha came over the speakers, and I felt a little giddy because I loved this song. Even though Edward wasn't a whiny guy, I still felt this song with him because as she says, "I signed up for a man, but you are just a bitch."

I got into the music, and suddenly, the guy I was dancing with was pushed out of the way and standing behind me was Edward.

"Hey, we were dancing," the guy complained.

"And now, you aren't … She's here with me, so you can scamper," he said, gesturing to dismiss the guy like he'd done to me. Edward grabbed my hips, and since I was still in make Edward pay mode, I thought game on. I pushed my ass into his groin. "Wanna see just how fucked up I can be," he asked in my ear. I went stiff. He had heard my song, and I felt that sick pleasure unfurl inside me. To my utter surprise, he put his hand on my belly and pushed my ass closer to him, and he started grinding and swaying with me. I was really shocked that Edward could dance. He pulled my hair from my neck with his chin, his stubble scratching my neck and sending jolts of electricity shooting across my body. His lips grazed my skin, and I shivered. "I think you do, Bella. Wanna play with the big boys, see what the big boys have in store for pretty little things like you?"

I responded 'cause I'm a moron. I gasped. "You think I'm pretty?" I asked as he licked my neck.

He chuckled against my neck, biting down. "Of course. Didn't I tell you that you know how to make a dick hard? I wanna put my fingers in this tight little pussy. You gonna let me, Bella? Can I eat that sweet little clit you keep teasing me with? Wanna do it right fucking here."

The fight against my attraction left me in that moment, and I slumped against him. His words made me ache for his touch. My thighs clenched, and I felt myself growing wet at the thoughts he was instilling in me. I don't know why this man had such a hold on me, but I was inclined to grant his wish to put his fingers in me, right here, right now. All I could do was wiggle and push into him as his hands roamed.

His hand coasted down my ribcage and brushed under my breast. He cupped my breast and pinched the tip of my nipple, causing it to grow hard under his touch. He kneaded my breast and licked up the column on my neck, and suddenly, my brain caught up with what was happening.

The alarm bells started going off in my head again, and I wanted to ignore them, but I really wanted to protect my heart. I pushed him away from me, and I had to do it forcefully because he wasn't registering my panic. As I shoved my way through the sea of people, I heard him calling my name and looked back to see Jasper grabbing his arm and talking to him angrily.

The only place I could think to seek refuge where he couldn't follow was the bathroom. I was on my way there when I heard a commotion from one of the darkened halls. It was Rose's laugh and the low rumble of Emmett's voice. I quietly snuck closer. When I got a little closer, the light hit them exactly right, and I could see what they were doing.

Emmett had Rose pushed up against the wall, and his hands were under her skirt, pumping in and out, and it finally registered that he was fingering her. Right here in a crowded dance club where anyone could come across them. Rose was moaning as Emmett kissed her, swallowing her cries. She fumbled with his zipper, and stuck her hand inside, and stroked him. Even though I couldn't see Rose's pussy or Emmett's dick, I felt my panties start to dampen. It was incredibly arousing to witness this and to know that all three of us could be caught at any time.

I was so involved in watching them together that I didn't register the quiet footsteps I should have heard coming toward me. I was startled when one hand gripped my hip.

"Well, well, would you look at that?" It was Edward's voice, I realized. He was whispering. "Is the naughty girl watching Rose get fingered? Do you wonder what it feels like, or have you done that to yourself before? What do you think about when you do that, Bella?" he asked, his tongue flicking out to lick the shell of my ear.
