Alice zoomed down the stairs. After 2 hours of CD making, we were all pretty anxious to see what she had come up with. She flashed into the living room, and held out 4 CDs. Edward took one, flipped it over, and started to laugh.
"Ms. New Booty? What kind of song title is that? Is that what hookers dance to?" Edward was still chuckling when Emmett started howling.
"Edward, strippers dance to music. Hookers…just stand on the street. No music involved, brother." He was laughing so hard he was bent over. I started laughing too, and plucked the CD from Edward's hand. I read the track list.
"Alice, these are really good party songs. Everyone should be dancing when these come on." I said to Alice, a little too loudly, so I could hear my own voice over the sound of Emmett's laugher. Rosalie hit him on the top of his head to make him stop. He did. After he stopped, my loud voice seemed a little excessive, and everyone started laughing again.
"Okay, guys, it's 4 in the afternoon, and we have everything set up already. What should we do now?" Jasper was sitting on the arm of the couch, and looking intently at Alice. It was true what he said: Everything was done. The streamers were hung, breakable items put away, and necessary doors locked. The music system was set up, and the booze and food were chilling in the fridge.
"Hmm. I have no idea what we should do….trampoline?" I suggested, and immediately got glares from Rosalie and Alice. In my current primped state, jumping on a trampoline wouldn't probably do anything good for my look. I shrank back, and then I heard an excited squeal come out of Rosalie.
"Let's dance! We all look good, so why not?" Rosalie was really excited. And everyone did look amazing, even more so then they usually did, and me, well, I looked slightly better than usual. Edward was stunning in slacks and a tight black knit V-neck sweater, under which he was wearing a white T-shirt. His black dress shoes were highly polished. I snuggled against his chest. Emmett looked handsome in some expensive looking blue jeans, a t-shirt, and a brown leather jacket. Jasper looked dapper in black dress pants, a black and grey polo shirt, and dress shoes. All the guys looked agreeable to dancing.
Alice got up, went over to the sound system, and popped in a CD. The music started playing, and everyone looked lost as for what to do. I started laughing. The fast beats, and the obscene lyrics were not for ballroom dancing, which is what the Cullens were good at. Alice started moving in the way video girls do. She was kind of good. Rosalie mimicked her movements, and so did I. Emmett's eyes lit up and he started grinding with Rosalie. Edward looked repulsed. I grabbed him around the waist. I pulled him to me, and started dancing with him. He looked highly surprised. I threaded my arms around his neck, and his hands found my waist. He smiled at me, and I looked over at Alice and Jasper. Alice was dropping it to the flo', and Jasper was following her. They all looked like they were having a great time. I had to admit, I was.
The song switched to something even faster. I believe it was called 'temperature'; anyway, it was good for dancing, so everyone kept doing their thing. We danced for awhile. I danced with Edward, Emmett, and Jasper. As good looking and charming and wonderful as Edward was, I have to say that Emmett is the best dancer. He knew all the moves to make, and where to hold my waist. He kept getting glares from Edward whenever he did something racy. It was really funny. At one point, I had my head back, and Emmett ran his hand over my collar bone. I heard a low snarl come from Edward. I snapped up, and blew him a kiss. He seemed to relax a little. Jasper was a pretty phenomenal dancer as well. He was a little more reserved then Emmett, but everyone is a little more reserved than Emmett. We swayed around the living room, and I watched Rosalie dance with Edward, and Alice with Emmett. It was highly entertaining.
Alice and Emmett were the perfect match, dancing wise. Neither of them took their inhibitions out to the floor with them, so there was grinding, touching, and dirty dancing galore. Rosalie and Jasper stood over to the side, watching with jealousy as their partners enjoyed themselves. Edward and I crashed on the couch, because I was slightly overheated. Boy, did Emmett and Alice put on a show.
I looked behind me at the clock on the wall. It was 8:30. We had been dancing for 4 and half hours! Edward caught by drift when I looked at the clock, and he got up and strode over to the music player. He shut it off abruptly, and all the dancing stopped.
"Guys, its 8:30, we should probably start setting up the food and stuff." Edward said loudly. Everyone nodded in agreement and headed to the kitchen. Jasper and Emmett got out a hefty stack of red plastic cups from under the sink, and got out the liquor. Emmett got out a shot glass and put it on the counter. I wondered what was going to happen with that shot glass.
Edward, Rosalie, Alice and I set up the food. There were finger sandwiches, wings, chips, cookies and a big cake Alice had made earlier. When all the food and beverages were set up, Emmett called me over to the breakfast bar.
"Hey, Bella. Come here." Emmett called my name. Edward put his arm in front of me to prevent me from going over.
"Don't even think about it, Emmett. The party hasn't even started yet. She is not getting intoxicated for your enjoyment. So don't even think about it." Edward practically snarled. I dodged his arm, and went over to Emmett.
"Here," He poured liquid into the shot glass "I just want you to try this, please? I can't drink, so I don't know what it tastes like." I picked up the shot glass, and threw the liquid into my mouth. It tasted awful, like rubbing alcohol.
"Emmett, what is this?!" I spluttered. Emmett looked sheepish and set a bottle on the counter. It was schnapps.
Edward and Jasper laughed. Rosalie and Alice got me a glass of water, to rinse the taste out of my mouth.
"I am so not drinking tonight." I muttered under my breath. Alice watched me in amusement. She closed her eyes and concentrated.
"Yeah, you will, Bella. Just wait. You will." She sounded so sure. I got angry, and was about to say something when the doorbell rang. Alice squealed, and went to yank open the door. Emmett ran to the living room to put the music on.
The party was starting. But was I ready?
