Poker Face by Lady Gaga

Chapter 4- Little Kids

EPOV

I was conflicted. Here was this beautiful and gorgeous woman that I actually might like, but she could possible be a fan girl. She could be one of those annoying squealing girls who follow you around, and only want you for your money. The only problem, though, was that I couldn't see her doing that. She didn't seem like the woman who only wanted fame and fortune. Bella seemed to be quite the opposite, actually. She shied away from people, didn't like to make direct eye contact with anyone, and, from what Alice said, she didn't exactly like parties.

She had let me stay in her room. Heck, she let me sleep in her own bed, while she slept on an uncomfortable pillow thing. That had to mean something, right? At least I knew she wasn't a total and complete bitch.

Then, once Alice had come in, she had shut down. Everything had shut down. Her body had been sitting there, but it looked lifeless. Her eyes had been flat, with no expression at all. It was almost like an invisible wall had gone up between the two of us. A wall that I could not penetrate. Isabella didn't want anyone to get in. It was like she didn't want to get hurt by something. No, not by something, I thought. More like by someone. Was she afraid of me? Did she think I could hurt her? I barely even knew her, for Christ's Sake!

"Oh my God!" I screamed, and pounded my fist against my locker. The other guys in the locker room all stopped talking, and looked at me. "Sorry," I mumbled.

"Whoa there dude. Are you ok?" Jacob Black, my right guard, asked me.

"Yeah, I'm cool." I told him.

"Hey, what are you doing tonight?" Jake and I were pretty cool, and would chill every once in a while. We weren't great friends, but we didn't hate each other either.

"Don't know yet, why?" We had just got done with a grueling practice, so most of the guys were going to go out after this.

"Quil, Embry, and I were going to go out and hang out with a couple of our friends if you wanna come."

"Sure, that'll be cool. Where are you guys going?" I needed to get out of here. Do something, and not think about Isabella.

He gave me the name of some new club that was supposed to be great. It was probably another trashy place where people had an excuse to grind up against each other, though. It didn't matter. I was happy to be out of there.

After, Jake left me alone. I took a shower, put on some clean clothes, and got the hell out of there.

I arrived to the club just after ten. It wasn't too hard finding Jake, Embry, and Quil, seeing as they were some of the biggest guys in there. We said our hellos, and I ordered a drink.

"Hey, Jake!" I yelled over the music. "Where're your friends that we're meeting."

"Well the girls are dancing, and Emmett, he's the huge one at the bar, is talking to blondie, which is his girlfriend."

"Cool, cool." I replied. I sat there for a little bit, just taking in all the dancing people on the floor. That's when I saw her. The gorgeous brunette that I was currently not trying to think about. I laughed. Of course, I thought. Of course she's here! Just my effing luck.

"I'll be right back!" I told anyone who was listening. I moved towards the middle of the room to where Isabella was. I started shaking and moving around, so it looked like I was dancing. In reality, though, I probably looked like some idiot with something down his pants.

I shimmied across the dance floor until I was right behind her. I lowered my mouth to her ear and whispered, "Long time no see, Beautiful." She stopped dancing for half a second, but soon resumed. She kept dancing, and started to grind her hips into mine. I took that as a good sign, put my hands on her waist, and we danced. This went on for a couple of minutes before she told me was going back to her table to get a drink. I decided that I might as well go back too.

"Where are you going?" I asked her once I noticed we were going to the same place.

"To my table?" She replied. That's when she saw Jake, squealed, and ran up to him. Bella hugged him, and Jake hugged her back. His hands were a little too low for it to be a friendly hug, though. He looked over her shoulder and smirked at me. He had apparently seen out dance, and hadn't liked it.

"Hey, man. What are you doing here?" I turned to see Jasper.

"I'm here with some of my teammates. What about you?" I told him.

"I'm here with Al." As if on cue, Alice came up behind him.

"Edward! What are you doing here? How are you? Oh, I'm sorry about walking in on you and Bella the other day. I had no clue you were in there!" She asked 500 questions in one breath.

"What were you doing with Bella?" Jasper asked, suspiciously.

"Just talking, Nosey." Bella came over then, and asked Alice if she wanted to go back over and dance. Alice told her she didn't feel like it, and Bella turned to Jasper.

"Common Jazz! Just a couple of songs, I promise!" Isabella begged him.

"Fine, fine." Jasper huffed.

I sat down in the booth next to Jake and everyone else. I had new annoyance toward Jacob, and didn't want to look at him.

"They're not together, you know." Alice sat accross from me. "They used to be, but that's long over. Jake never really got over her, though."

"What are you talking about, Alice?" I asked her.

"Bella and Jake. When he hugged her, you got all tense and stuff. You obviously like her." She stated.

"No, I don't," I lied.

"Yeah, you do."

"Nope."

"Uhh, yes. You so do!"

"Alice, I have no clue what you're talking about."

"Really? Then why have you been staring at her for the past three minutes." I looked up, shocked. She was very observant for such a little thing. "You like her. A lot."

"Ok, ok! Maybe I kind of do, but why do you care?" I finally gave in.

"Because, I want to see her happy," was all she said.

"How do you know she'll be happy with me?"

"Just trust me. I'm good with this sorta stuff." We quiet for little bit. I couldn't stop staring at Bella, like Alice said. She was amazing. She danced with such grace and passion, you just couldn't look away. "Bella used to be a dancer. She could have gone to Julliard. It was her dream."

"Why didn't she?" It made sense, I guess. Just by watching her now, I could see that she was an incredible dancer.

"She has problems with her past. Lots of problems."

"Like what?"

"Nope, I've said too much as it is," and we left it at that.

An hour and a couple of drinks later, Bella and I watched as Alice and Jasper argued over which song was better. After a little while, I could stand it. I leaned over to Bella and asked her, "do you wanna get out here?"

"Yes, please!" We said out goodbyes to everyone, and left.

"Oh, gosh. Thank you for getting me out of there. I thought I was going to go insane with Alice and Jasper's stupid arguments." Isabella said.

I laughed, "No problem. Where do you want to go now?"

"How about the park?"

"The park it is."

To say I was surprised that he still wanted to be near me after the other day, was an understatement. I was totally shocked. I mean, I would have thought that he would have thought that I was insane by now. Even after what Alice had told him that morning, he was still here.

We walked in silence for a bit, until I finally asked him what was on my mind, "Why are you here? Don't get me wrong or anything. I'm glad that you are, but I guess I thought that you probably thought that I was insane or something."

"You're deffinitely not insane," Edward told me. "Deffinitely not sane, though."

"Sooo, what am I, then?"

"Probably crazy," he said with a straight face.

"Aren't crazy and insane the same thing, though?"

"No, not exactly. If you were insane, you would have been locked up in a white room with a straight jacket. Crazy isn't too far behind, though."

"Wow, thanks. That means a ton to me," I told him, sarcastically.

"Why'd you quit dancing?" Damn, Alice must have said something.

"Did Alice say something?" I asked.

"Yeah, she said some stuff."

"What did she tell you about it?"

"Just that it was your dream, you could have gone to Julliard, and you stopped because of stuff from your past." He told me.

"There was this girl, and it was just stupid drama."

"Well, it obviously wasn't stupid, since it made you give up your dream."

"It's the past, and I'm over it." I really wasn't, and I hated thinking about it. I had to change the subject. "Why didn't you go to the Chargers?" He looked at me startled. "You would have gotten a bigger salary, and the Chargers are a way better team."

"Wow, Alice was right. You kind of are obsessed." He laughed at me. Lovely.

"You know what? This was a bad idea. I think I should leave." I turned around, and started walking back from where we came.

"No, no, no. Come back here." Edward said.

"I'm sorry, Edward, but I don't really appreciate being laughed at."

He grabbed my waist, "come back here, I wasn't laughing at you!" I struggled against his arms. Then all of a sudden he pulled me against the building, pinning me to it, so I couldn't fight back. "You silly beautiful girl, I wasn't laughing at you, I promise."

"Then what were you laughing at?"

"I've never had anyone who actually cared. No one has ever asked me that question."

"How could no one care! I mean that's huge! It would have meant-" I was cut off short by his lips. I was startled at first, because I didn't know what he was doing, but then I started to kiss back. Oh, man, and what a kiss it was! We both molded into each other, and didn't come up for breath until we absolutely needed to. Then I realized, I'm kissing Edward Cullen. Edward freaking Cullen. I needed to stop this right away, so I pushed him away. He looked at me like he had no clue what just happened.

"I'm so sorry. I have no clue what I was thinking and... Actually no I'm not sorry, and I did know what I was thinking. I wanted to kiss this gorgeous girls standing in front, who has no clue how amazing she really is, and honestly, that was probably the best kiss I've ever had." I just stared at him. "Go out with. How's Friday night, at seven o'clock? I can come pick you up at your place."

"Wait, like as a date?" God, I bet I sounded so stupid.

"Yeah like a date!"

"I don't know..."

"Oh, come on! If you say no, then I won't be able to let you free of this spot, until you say yes..."

"Fine, then. Yes." He smiled like a little kid.

He let me go, and said, "Let's go back to my car, and I'll drive you home." Even though he couldn't see it, I was smiling like a little kid, too.
