Chapter 2: Let's Get This Party Started!
The night of my bachelor party came. Earlier, Jasper and Emmett hunted and killed a deer and filled an empty wine bottle with deer blood. The plan was to order wine at the club, switch the bottle, and make sure Charlie doesn't drink from it! But that shouldn't be a problem since Bella told me in advance that Charlie hates red wine.
I pulled up to the Swan's and turned to Jasper and Emmett. "Remember, guys, be on your best behavior, please. I do not want to mess this up."
"And if we do?" Jasper asked, raising his eyebrow.
I smirked. "Then I will tell Alice and Rosalie that you two look at girls in swimsuits when you go to a local recreation center."
Emmett gasped. "You wouldn't!"
"I would." I nodded. "I'll be back."
I headed up to the front door and rang the doorbell. A few minutes later, Charlie answered the door.
"Hello, Chief Swan." I greeted. "Are you ready?"
He smiled. "Obviously."
I could see Bella in the house, smiling.
"Have fun, guys." She called to us.
"We will." I called back to her. Charlie and I walked back to the car. I could tell the chief was a bit...apprehensive about riding in the car with us, so... "Do you want to drive, Chief Swan? I know you're probably uneasy about riding with us."
Jasper and Emmett shot me dismayed looks. I read Charlie's mind.
'He's sucking up again., Ah well, it was a generous gesture anyway.' "Thanks. It's probably s good idea."
Charlie got into the drivers seat, and got into the passenger seat. We drove at twenty-five miles per hour since that was the speed limit here.
'Dammit, Edward! What have you gotten us into?' Jasper thought angrily.
'Edward! Make him go faster! I can't take this!'
I growled inwardly. After all, inviting Charlie was Emmett's idea. I smirked as I came up with an idea...
"So, Chief Swan..."
"Call me Charlie." Charlie replied.
"Charlie...Bella and I were thinking of going to the rec center in Seattle to swim this weekend. Would that be okay with you?"
"Uh...sure." Charlie answered.
"Sounds good. And I can invite Emmett, Jasper, Alice, and Rosalie too." I continued. I felt Jasper punching the headrest on my seat. Luckily Charlie didn't notice.
We made it to the club within an hour much to Jasper's and Emmnett's relief. Emmett hid the "wine" bottle in his jacket. The guards let us in.
We were greeted by neon lights and very loud music. I could have sworn I heard the "F" word inb the song.
"Dude!" Emmett grabbed my arm. "They have a mud wrestling riong!"
"Wanna try it out?" Asked Jasper.
I quickly read Charlie's mind again. What? I wanted to make a good impression!
'Mud wrestling? I suppose I shouldn't ruin everybody's night.'
"Hey, go Emmett and Jasper!" I said cheerfully. "Good luck, guys!"
"Thanks, bro!" Emmett shed his jacket and handed it to me. I was very careful with the bottle of blood. Charlie and I just went to find a table for the four of us.
Charlie cleared his throat when we sat down. "So...Emmett seems...competitive."
"He is." I nodded. "He challenges anyone to sports like wrestling, baseball, races...you name it, he challenges it."
Charlie chuckled. "Ambitious."
"Extremely."
Charlie looked at Jasper and Emmett mud wrestling and then turned back to me. "So, what's your story? What do you want to do once you're out of college?"
Move to a new town and start the two year citizen process all over again. "I really don't know, to be honest. I was thinking maybe a doctor or a lawyer."
A waiter came by our table. "Ready to order?"
"I'll have beer, and keep the refills coming." Charlie said. "Edwin?"
"Edward." I corrected. "I'll just have club soda. Oh, my brothers asked me to order for them. Bottle of red wine."
The waiter wrote on his pad of paper. "Anything to eat?"
"Peanuts." Charlie answered.
"I'm fine." I told the waiter. "Nothing, thanks."
The waiter walked away. Charlie and I continued to watch Jasper and Emmett wrestle. Emmett, of course, was winning.
Charlie cleared his troat. "So...you like music?"
"Oh, yeah." I replied feeling more relaxed. "Did Bella tell you I play the piano?"
"No, she didn't." Charlie said, sounding surprised.
I nodded. "I do. I also love listening to music."
"What kind?"
"All different kinds.. My favorite is music from the fifties."
"You don't say."
The waiter appeared and gave us our order. A few minutes later, Emmett and Jsaasper came back looking clean.
"Whoo! Damn, that was awesome!" Emmett shouted. "Can't wait to tell Rose all about it!"
I caught Emmett's eyes and gave him a warning look. He seemed to catch on.
"And Alice...and...Mom and Dad." Emmett winked at me.
Charlie smiled. He looked away for a minute. I took the oppertunity to switch the wine bottle with the blood bottle.
XXXX
Over the next hour, the four of us talked and laughed about random things. Charlie was drinking his eighth glass of beer. I was getting a bit concerned.
Now, we were talking about the ladies in our lives.
"My lady is hot. Hotter than hot." Emmett was saying. "I'm talking 'set-the-forest-on-fire-with-one-look' hot."
"Yeah?" Jasper quipped. "My lady is so hot, you can cook- no, burn an egg on her forehead!"
I chuckled. Partly because I knew very well who Jasper was talking about, and Alice can't eat eggs let alone cook one.
"My lady left me years ago." Charlie recalled. "Said she didin't like Forks, and...took off with Bella. Never understood why she left, never got over her. I hate that new husband of hers."
Emmett, Jasper, and I exchanged glances. 'Gee, who does he remind you of?' of course, we all thought of Jacob Black. Charlie went on.
"Little advice here, boys...never let your ladies go. If she runs off, you run after her." Charlie hiccupped.
We all agreed. I cleared my throat. "I'm going to get more peanuts."
"But you can't eat!" Jasper said.
I gritted my teeth. "They're for Charlie!"
"Ohhh..." Jasper nodded. I headed to the bar. There was a long line, I waited patiently. My pghone rang. I walked over to a secluded place by the restrooms to answer it.,
"Hello?"
"Hey, Edward!" Bella's voice was music to my ears.
"Hey, Bell."
"How goes your bachelor party?" She asked.
"Oh, it's going great, actually!" I said enthusiastically. "Charlie and I are getting to know each other better. I think he's starting to like me more now."
"That's good!"She said. "Well, I just called to check up on you. Make sure my dad comes home in one piece."
"I will." I replied. "I'll see you later tonight."
"Okay, bye!"
I hung up. There was a loud cheering sound coming from the club. I decided to check it out. I gasped and stopped dead in my tracks.
I've seen a lot of horrifying things. Like Bella laying broken and half-dead in Arizona. Rose and Emmett making love. Carlisle dancing to weird music from the seventies. But nothing prepared me for what I was facing now.
Chief Charlie Swan was on stage, dancing...and stripteasing. I let out a stranlged yell and sprinted towards my soon to be dead vampire brothers.
"What the hell did you guys do?!" I exclaimed, exasperated. "Bella's gonna kill me!"
"What? We thought it'd be more fun watching Charlie drunk!" Jasper explained.
I glared at him. "You know what would be more fun, Jasper? Watching Alice chase you through the forest, pissed because you gawked at women clad in swimsuits!"
Jasper gasped. "Okay, okay! Jeez..."
Charlie's shirt fell on me. "Oh my God! Ok, we need to get him off that stage!"
"I'm on it." Emmett climbed up on the stage, picked Charlie up, and jumped down.
"Wheeee! Let's go again!" Charlie said in a slurred vice.
"All right, let's go!" We three vampires and Charlie sprinted like hell out of the clubhouse.
So much for the bachelor party. Now we have a drunken cop who just so happens to be my fiancee's father.
