Chapter 18 : Party until your paranoid
Previously in Chapter 17,
The rest of our dinner was spent laughing and talking about the upcoming weddings and marriage; Although, Hermione gave very little insight about life as a married woman. I could tell that there was more to her than a simply devoted wife.
I didn't press the issue. After all I wasn't quite ready to explain my upcoming marriage with it being arranged and all. I mean I love Edward well I'm almost positive I'm in love with him.
We were taught that love doesn't have to come immediately. Sometimes it starts with trust and respect. But I don't think that would be the case for Edward and I. Only time would tell. Little did I know our relationship, our bond, was going to be tested from the events of that night….
BPOV
"Bella, I'm completely pissed." Hermione said laughing falling in the booth next to me at the club.
"Yeah I can tell. Maybe we should call you a cab." I looked over at Hermione when she didn't answer and found her asleep.
Well that's great.
Alice came over to the table and sat down. "Man I haven't had this much fun in a minute. But my poor feet are killing me from all that dancing. I have shook my ass just about every way it could be shooken, shooked, shook?" She said taking her heel off. She looked at Hermione and started giggling "Didn't anyone ever tell her what happens to the first person who passes out?" Alice chuckled evilly before rolling her eyes and responding to my looks of disapproval.
"Don't worry I wasn't going to do anything. Her face is too sweet for me to draw a mustache on." She giggled.
Rose, Victoria and Maggie were walking toward us crashing in the available spots of the semi circle booth we were residing in at the VIP section.
Victoria saw Hermione and grinned. "Who's got a magic marker?"
"Oh my god that's what I said too. But Bella is being a spoiled sport and won't allow any harmless hazing." Alice said raising a perfectly shaped eyebrow.
"Yeah Bella can be a boring old dish rag." Victoria said as if what she had said was a compliment and not an insult.
I gave her an eat shit and die expression in to which she just laughed.
"Okay are we calling it a night because I can't leave sleepy sleeperson here at the booth by herself." I said gesturing to Hermione.
I received 4 different responses at once.
"Fine by me my feet are killing me."
"I don't care whatever sounds fine."
"No I don't want to leave yet."
"Let's stay and dance some more."
"Okay, okay… who wants to stay raise your hand." I asked. Victoria and Rose raised their hands.
"Well that's four against two so let's try and sober her up and go home." I said.
"No we don't want to leave. This place is off the chain." Rose said and put a disgusted look on her face. "Did I really just say off the chain?"
"Yes, and it was horrible but you want to stay which means your on my team and I won't berate you too badly for your sad little attempt at slang." Victoria said.
"Miserable Bitch."
"Well that was at least better." Victoria said smiling to Rosalie.
Rosalie was about to male a reply before Maggie threw her hands up.
"Okay stop. This can go on all night. Your both pretty. Let's move on. How about we call our driver and have him take Hermione and whoever else wants to go home, home. And then he can come back to get those who don't want to go home just yet." Maggie suggested.
Everyone was in agreement about Maggie's plan except for Victoria and Rose who pitched a fit about me leaving.
"You can't leave yet." Victoria commanded.
"Don't worry I got this. You just have to use tact something you know nothing about." Rose said to Victoria drawing out the word nothing. Victoria huffed and gestured for Rosalie to proceed.
Rose came to sit beside me putting on her best puppy dog eyes and a pout. "You have to stay Bella and dance with us. You are the glue that holds us all together. Without you Victoria and I might kill each other." Victoria leaned down with puppy dog eyes and a pout to match Rose's and together they both nodded their heads at me helplessly.
I rolled my eyes at them, but dammit if it didn't work.
I'm such a sucker.
"Fine I will stay. But please make sure Hermione gets home safely. And send me a message letting me know she is safe and that you guys make it back as well."
We were able to get Hermione awake and in the car before she passed out again. Alice assured me multiple times that everything was going to be fine. Once the three girls were settled into the back seat of the car I shut the car door and waved bye before heading back into the club.
I walked back to the VIP section and saw Rose already sitting at our table swaying her body and head to the beat of the music.
"Shots! Let's do shots." Victoria said carefully carrying a tray with lemons that were covered in what appeared to be a crap ton of salt and shot glasses filled with liquor.
"Shouldn't one of us at least stay sober? I mean technically were not even supposed to be drinking. We are underage." I whispered yelled to Victoria as she set the tray of shots on the table.
"Keep your panties on Isabella. We are just having fun. Live a little, MOM."
That was the final straw. Bree always called me mom and Victoria knew how much that shit pissed me off.
"You know what?! You fucking little Bitch. Call me mom one more time. You skank tyranny ass hooker." Victoria's eyes got wide as did mine. Did I really call her a tyranny? Rose thought It was the funniest thing on the planet. She was just sitting their laughing. It wasn't until she laughed so hard she snorted that Victoria and I broke eye contact.
Victoria just pulled me into a hug and whispered in my ear that she had went too far and she was sorry. This of course lead to me crying. Victoria never apologized but when she did she was so sincere about it that it was hard not to feel emotional.
"Oh shit are you crying? See this is why I'm bitchy. When I act kind people get all weepy." She said handing me a few napkins.
"So do you want to do shots with us or not? I won't push it if you don't want to drink them." Victoria said looking at me.
Rose picked up one of the napkins and rubbed it under my eye. After she was done I used my fingers and rubbed under my eye just in case. She looked at me and nodded in approval.
I reached forward and picked up a shot glass. "Let's get pissed." I laughed quoting Hermione and Victoria.
"whoo!" Victoria smiled while throwing her hands up.
"Okay flirty bartender said these were the best shots. They are called Chocolate cake shots. You drink the shot and then bite into the lemon wedges. They are covered in sugar. Apparently once you drink the shot and bite the lemon it's supposed to taste like chocolate cake. Hence the name."
We each grabbed our shot and lemon wedge.
"Wait. Should we toast? And what should we toast too?" I asked.
Rose held her shot glass up. "I say we toast to yourselves. Who ever would of thought three years ago we would be here in a big city all together doing adultish things?" we all looked at one another and smiled.
I held my shot glass higher "To us."
Victoria followed suit and in unison we cheered to yourselves and threw back our shots before biting down on our lemon wedges.
"Wow, that's not to bad. It actually did taste like cake."
"let's do one more before we hit the dance floor."
We were dancing to the music having fun when Rose got pale. She leaned into my ear and shakily spoke "Bella it's those guys. From the other day at starbucks they are here and they are staring at us."
My eyes went wide. What if Rose had been right before.
"Let's get Victoria. We need to leave."
Penny for your thoughts?
