I own nothing.........or do I?

Bpov

I woke up with my head swimming with memories of the night before. It seemed so surreal, things as good as that just didn't happen to me. It wasn't an ordinary date where you go to dinner and a movie, it was so much better! Not only did I get to spend most of my day with Edward but I also got to finally see the city that I had been in love with for as long as I can remember. The icing on the cake was hands down visiting the Empire State Building.

I quickly grabbed my things making sure to pack my new pen that Edward had bought me. I had also decided to wear my I love NY t-shirt, partly because I didn't have many other clean clothes. I desperately needed to do laundry, but that would have to wait till I had time to make it to the laundrette a few blocks away.

I arrived to work on time and thankfully Irena seemed to be avoiding me as much as possible, although I did receive quite a few glares from her throughout my shift. I just shrugged it off – I would take a glare from her any day if it meant she left me alone.

At ten past nine my day got even brighter as Edward and his family / friends walked in. His beautiful lips morphed into a wide smile as he walked over to me. His four companions went straight to their table but still waved and smiled in greeting. Well that's except for Emmett who shouted across the small diner with his booming voice.

"What up little B?! Enjoy your date last night?" He grinned and wiggled his eyebrows. "Edward sure did!" And with that he sat down next to Rosalie, leaving me red faced and completely mortified.

I heard Edward chuckle and turned to him only to find him smiling down at me. "He's right you know" He said.

"About what?" I asked confused. Probably because I was too busy staring at him, causing my mind to switch off.

"That I enjoyed last night." He leaned on his left elbow on the counter and raised his right hand to gently stroke my cheek bone. "I really did"

"So did I" I said shyly while biting my bottom lip.

He grinned widely.

"Good. Because I plan on taking you out on many more" He then leaned forward as both his hands cupped my cheeks and placed a soft kiss on my lips. Once, twice, three times, but as he went to pull away from the fourth peck I reached up and secured my hands in his bronze locks, forcing him to stay where he was. I felt him smile against my lips as I began to move my lips with his. Too soon Edward pulled away, smiling at my frown and pout.

"I think you have a customer waiting" He chuckled lightly at my expression while gently stroking my lips out of their pout and kissing away my frown.

As soon as his words made sense I turned to my left to see a man in his forties with a receding hairline angrily tapping his fingers against the surface of the worktop. I blushed and untangled myself from Edward.

"I'm so sorry to keep you waiting" I apologised. "What can I get you?"

He huffed and gave me a slight glare before ordering. When I turned back around, the finished order in my hands I noticed Edward giving the guy a murderous glare, his hands balled into tight fists, his skin stretched taught and deathly white. I quickly handed the customer his food and he handed me a five dollar bill telling me to keep the change, winking at me. Creepy. I looked down at the money in my hands.

Wow a whole dollar tip! How generous! I thought sarcastically.

I looked back at Edward.

"You okay?" I asked as I reached out and stroked his left fist until it loosened and he let out the breath he was holding.

He looked at me and said with a small smile on his lips. "Sorry. It's just that guy was seriously checking you out and it made me kinda angry" He tried to act nonchalant but it was obvious it was still bothering him.

I smiled. He was jealous.

"Were you jealous?" I asked.

Edward blushed slightly and looked down at his hands making random shapes on the worktop. "Maybe a little" He whispered out.

"Seriously?" He nodded minutely, still staring at his fingers. "Edward he was a total creeper" He looked up at me. "He was old enough to be my father and he was balding!" I giggled at his silliness.

Edward smiled slightly then let out a small chuckle. "I guess your right" He grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips, kissing my knuckles softly. "When it comes to you, rational thought seems to go out the window."

I smiled at that. Finally I got round to getting food for Edward and his friends, I didn't risk staying for long, wanting to avoid Irena's anger. As usual Edward gave me a ride to our lecture but today he held my hand as we walked inside and was reluctant to let go once we were seated, he instead opted to rest his hand on my knee.

Edward dropped me off at the book store as usual, giving me a quick peck on the lips good bye. I walked in to work with a grin on my face, feeling amazed at how happy I was lately. I hadn't been this happy since before my parents had died.

I finally finished my shift at Jenson's at 7.30pm and made my way out on to the street to walk to job number three of the day – the club Apple. It was only ten minutes later that I was walking in through the employee entrance around the side. I entered the changing room and grabbed my uniform out of my locker; I then stripped of my clothes and through on the shiny silver jeans, silver sequin tube bra, skin tight see-through lacy black shirt and shiny black waistcoat. (Outfit on profile) Believe it or not but my uniform was one of the most tasteful. Some of the girls here wore sequin silver short shorts that looked more like panties, skirts that looked like belts, miniscule bras, and occasionally by the end of the night they had removed their bras altogether, claiming the sleazy drunk men tended to tip better then. Personally I could care less if it got me more tips, there is no way in hell or high water I was going to reduce myself to that. Some of the girls I worked with tended to get annoyed with the lack of skin I showed, thinking that I thought that I was better than them which was not the case.

I shook my head and walked out of the changing room. Kate was already stocking up the bar when I got there; she turned around and looked at me.

"Oh hey there Bella. How are you?" She asked, grinning.

"Same old, same old. You?" I replied.

"Oh my god Bella!" She squealed and grabbed me by the shoulders shaking me. "Garret asked me to marry him! Can you believe it? I'm getting married!"

"Congratulations!" I hugged her. "That's amazing! I'm so happy for you! Have you set a date yet?"

"Thank you so much and no we haven't yet, although I was hoping April or May which I know doesn't leave much time but I can't wait!" She squealed again. As much as I fought it and new that I would never be that lucky, I couldn't help but imagine that it was me announcing my engagement, I imagined walking down the aisle in a white dress towards the man I loved, even though I had only known him for a few days I was unsurprised to notice that it was Edward I saw waiting for me dressed in a crisp black tux.

Just then Laurent walked in.

"You two set up?" He asked, staring at Kate's breasts.

Kate coughed. "Eyes up" She reminded him yet again. This was the norm for Laurent, he seemed to think women were just breasts on legs.

Reluctantly Laurent looked up at Kate with a frustrated expression. "Whatever. Now are you two set up or what?" He asked again.

"Yes we're ready" Kate replied.

"Good. I'm gonna go open up" He said before he walked off to the door where Felix, the bouncer, was waiting to open the doors.

***

It was now 10.45 and the bar was heaving. With only me and Kate behind the bar we were rushed off our feet. Just as a guy in his early twenties handed me a twenty and walked off with his drinks I was called over by another customer, waving money around in the air.

"Hey what can I get you?" I asked politely.

He eyed me up and down. "Two beers baby" He said with a smile and a lick of his lips.

"Sure thing" I said as I grabbed two bottles from the cooler behind me, I popped off the tops and handed them over at the same time he handed me the money. Instead of taking the drinks and walking away he grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him.

"Come meet me when you get off, here's my number" He whispered in my ear as he stuffed a napkin down my top. He stood up with a smirk on his face and walked off to a woman with light brown hair and proceeded to make out passionately with her, openly grabbing her ass and fondling her tits.

Nice I thought he must really like me

I turned round, taking the napkin out of my top and throwing it in the bin and quickly put the money in the till.

"Excuse me, can I get a round of tequila shots and five beers please." A strangely familiar voice asked politely.

I put on what I liked to call my work smile and turned to the customer. "Of course-" Oh crap.

I knew I recognised that voice.

Once I got home after dropping Bella off at work I through myself onto the sofa. I had just started to relax when Alice came waltzing in, she unceremoniously jumped on me making my breath whoosh out of me.

"Alice what the hell are you doing?" I said as she hugged me.

"I'm just hugging my big brother" She replied in a sing song voice.

"Yeah I got that but why exactly?"

"I'm just so happy that you and Bella have hit it off so well. You really like her don't you." She said.

I smiled at the thought of Bella. "Yeah I really do" I looked back at my sister. "Now what exactly has got you in such a happy mood?" I asked, knowing that there had to be something else that had made her so......bouncy? No that's not the right word. Hyper probably fit better.

"Do you really need to ask Edward" Jaspers southern drawl spoke from the end of the sofa.

"We're going out!" Alice squealed.

I sighed. I should have guessed – anything so Alice could get dressed up.

"I told you man" Jasper said.

"So come on brother of mine, go get ready!" She abruptly jumped off of me and attempted to pull me up by tugging on my arm.

"Why on earth would I need to start getting ready now Ali? You'll take five times longer than me!" I stated.

"I need you to run over to the mall for me, I have a pair of gorgeous manolo blahnik's on hold for me. Just ask for Lillian and say Alice sent you and she'll know exactly what ones I bought." She stood on her tip toes and gave me a peck on the cheek. "Thank you Edward" She scurried off to get ready. "Oh and I booked a taxi tonight so we should all be ready to go by the time your back with my new shoes!" Well at least I wasn't designated driver tonight.

"Have fun with that dude" Jasper said as he followed Alice into her room.

I huffed and walked up stairs to my room, knowing full well that there was no point in arguing with Alice.

Opening my closet doors I debated what to wear tonight. I finally decided on a simple pair of charcoal coloured jeans and a dark blue button down shirt. I grabbed a pair of shoes, the keys to my Volvo and headed out the door.

As I drove I thought of my Bella, not that that was unusual seeing as the only thing that seemed to be on my mind nowadays was Bella. I thought of how jealous I got at seeing that old man ogle her like a piece of meat. It was ridiculous really, I knew deep down there was nothing to be jealous of but I couldn't seem to help myself. I pulled up at the mall and quickly ran in to pick up Alice's shoes. God knows what she needs another pair of shoes for. Sure enough Lillian new exactly who Alice was and what shoes she had put on hold. When the mall staff know you by name it's obvious that you have an obsession.

I arrived home just as Alice walked out of her room. She ran over to me and hugged me tightly, kissing me on the cheek.

"Thank you Edward your the best big brother in the world!" She said before releasing me, grabbing her shoes and running to Jaspers side who was leaning against the kitchen counter.

Alice was wearing a taupe silk sequin dress, some shiny black pants and a beige blazer on top. Next to her was Jasper who was wearing a pair of light wash jeans and a black and grey small checked shirt.

"Hey that's not nice Ali! Why is he the best brother?" Emmett moaned from the sofa. Emmett was dressed in light grey jeans and a black polo shirt. Rosalie was stunning as usual, sat on Emmett's lap in a sailor style dress, bright red lipstick and matching bright red heels. (All outfits on my profile)

"That's because Edward battled the New York traffic for my manolo blahniks" Alice told him.

"Well I would have gladly battled New York traffic for your damn shoes had I not been occupied by Rosie upstairs." He got a wicked grin on his face – probably remembering what they were doing. Shudder. "Rosie dressed up-"

"STOP!" Alice, Jasper and I shouted at the same time.

"Jeez you bunch of pussies! Anyone would think you were all virgins the way you react to our sex life" Emmett said as he grabbed Rosalie's ass when he said 'our'. "Well we all know Eddie over there is still holding his V-card" His expression turned to one of horror. "And you better fucking be a virgin too Alice!"

"What the fuck Emmett! I'm not a fucking virgin. Asshole!" I yelled at him.

"Oh really Edwina? Who and when was your first then?" He asked me, grinning like the idiot that he was.

"It was that slut Jessica, senior year" I told him. Jessica Stanley was the biggest slut at our high school, she had spread her legs for most of the man population. I got drunk at an after game house party and it was no secret that Jessica had a crush on me so you can guess what happened. I woke up in the morning stark naked with an equally naked Jessica half led on me, she woke up and started calling me 'baby' and 'honey', when I tried to politely get the fuck out of there she grabbed me by the arm and told me to wait for her to get dressed and we could leave together. There was no way I wanted the whole school seeing me walk out of there with her and I didn't want her thinking we were a couple now or that it would happen again so I told her this and to make my morning even better she bawled her eyes out and started screaming that I had taken advantage of her. Odd seeing as it was she who got me drunk. So basically not the way I wanted to lose my virginity.

I shook myself out of the horrible memory just in time to hear my baby sis.

"Emmett why the hell would you think I was still a virgin? Me and Jaz have been dating for three years now and we always sleep in the same room" She told him in frustration. Even though I knew they were having sex it was not something you liked being confirmed about your little sister.

Emmett jumped up. "Jasper I swear to god if what Alice said is true-"

"Be quiet Em!" Rose interrupted. "Alice is 20 years old for gods sake. They love each other so what is wrong with them having sex? Do I need to ban it from you to make you understand?" She threatened.

"No Rosie! No!" Emmett cried in horror. "It's just that Ali is Ali! My baby sis!" He whined.

"I know this Em, but you don't see Edward going all over protective brother do you? That's because Edward has accepted that Alice is an adult who is free to make her own decisions in life." She spoke to him as if he were a child.

Emmett huffed and glared at Jasper before sitting back down on the sofa, arms crossed over his chest.

"Come on people the taxis' waiting" Alice spoke in an overly excited voice.

"How the hell do you know that Al?" I asked.

She just smiled, tapped her temple and waltzed out the door with jasper right behind her.

We made it down stairs and sure enough the taxi was sat right outside the doors. We all climbed in and soon enough the car pulled away, headed for which ever club Alice had chosen tonight.

"Where we going Al?" I asked.

"Oh there's this new club that opened a few weeks back. It's called Apple." She shrugged. "I just thought we may as well see what it's like"

"As long as there's beer and sexy women then the place is fine by me." Emmett said. That is until he noticed the death glare Rosalie was giving him, which quickly made him backtrack. "Of course you'll be the most sexy woman there Rosie." That was all it took to get the smile back on her face.

Twenty minutes later we arrived at Apple. Alice and Rosalie went straight to the bouncer and unashamedly flirted until he let us all in. Inside was not what I was expecting, it wasn't like a conventional club, it was more of a cross between said conventional club and a strip club. There were small raised platforms where girls in barely there uniforms were dancing. I looked to my left and saw waitresses taking drinks to the different booths and tables spread around. Some of the staff had even gone as far as removing their tops, one was shamelessly flirting with a drunken customer and rubbing her breast seductively up his torso as she situated herself on his lap, she then kneeled, one leg on either side of him and raised herself so that the man had full access to her breasts, much to the man and his friends delight. I turned away in disgust.

We walked to a booth near the corner of the club and sat down.

"Alright I'll get the first round. What do you guys want?" I asked them.

"Oooh get some tequila shots!" Alice squeaked.

"And beer dude!" Emmett boomed.

I jumped up from my seat and made my way over to the bar. On my way I got stopped by a strawberry blonde with big boobs who was wearing an Apple uniform.

"Hey sexy. Wanna keep me company?" She spoke in a nasally voice as she dragged her nails down my chest. "I'm Tanya by the way" I grabbed her hand before it reached my belt.

"It was nice to meet you Tanya but no thanks" I said as I attempted to manoeuvre my way around her.

"Aw don't be like that honey. Come dance with me" She grabbed my hips and pulled me against her as she rubbed her crutch against my leg. Wasn't she supposed to be working?

"Look I gotta get drinks for my friends" I told her while pushing her away.

She grabbed the hand that I used to push her away with and placed it on her ass. "Let them get their own drinks" She said.

I pushed her away again, this time more forcefully. "Like I said it was nice meeting you" Yeah right. "but I'm getting me and my friends some drinks" I said.

"Fine, but why don't you come find me after"

"I really don't think my girlfriend would like that" I told her, internally squealing like a girl when I said 'girlfriend'.

She leaned forward so she could whisper in my ear. "If you don't tell her I won't" She said as she grabbed my dick through my jeans.

I pushed her and her hand away immediately and looked at her with disgust and annoyance. "Look I've been trying to be nice here but I'm not interested okay. I have a beautiful girlfriend who I am crazy about and would never cheat on" I emphasized 'never' hoping to get the message across. "And my friends are waiting for me to get the drinks, so if you would kindly fuck off I will be on my way." I didn't wait for a reply as I pushed past her to the bar.

The bar was pretty busy what with only having two people serving so I patiently leaned against the counter and played with a discarded bottle top. A few minutes later I looked up to see if there was anyone free to serve yet and to my luck I saw a girl with her back to me putting money in the till. For some strange reason the girl made me think of Bella. They did have very similar hair I guessed.

I took my chance and called out politely. "Excuse me, can I get a round of tequila shots and five beers please" I asked her.

The woman turned around with a smile which didn't reach her eyes and replied. "Of course-" She broke off, her eyes wide with...fear? Shame? Embarrassment?

It was Bella.

"Bella?" I asked.

Before I could say another word she turned on her heel and ran from behind the bar.

Sorry for the long wait guys. I had hoped to get this out by Christmas but my laptop was PMSing and I lost half of the chap I had written and I was too annoyed to re-write it all over again straight away.

Anywho I hope you all had a great Christmas and a happy new year!
