AN:Hiya! Sorry I didn't put up this chapter sooner, I've been really busy. Been to Paris, had Band Practice (recorded a song and put it on bebo. Woo!). But here it is at last. Sorry for the delay.
Chapter 5: Genie In A Bottle
Bella Pov
Friday night and I decided to go out to a club. I quickly dressed up in a nice outfit. A tight red corset, black skinny jeans and black, suede, knee length, boots. I quickly got in my car and drove to the nearest club I could find. It looked dark and there were loads of teenagers lined up outside. I parked my car and quickly queued up at the back. In no time I was inside the club.
Looking around I grinned. It was dark inside, but spacious. There was a bar through a doorway and the stage was at the front. Bodies were already moving on the dance floor but I decided to some water before I joined the moving wall. I walked over to the bar, noticing as I did that there were 2 booths of seats. Both were filled but in one of the booths was the teachers from Forks.
Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett and Edward were all sitting in the booth. I smiled at them and walked over to their table.
"I'm surprised to see you guys here of all places. I didn't know that you were into clubbing." I giggled and looked at them. Edward had his head facing towards the table and he was tracing the top of his glass. Jasper had his arm around Alice and was looking at me with a bored expression. Alice was looking at me with an astounded look on her face. Emmett was eyeing me up and down and Rose was tightening her grip on his hand.
Jasper looked at everyone and said,
"Would you like to join us tonight Bella? I think it would be a good chance for everyone to get to know you...we haven't really spoken to you properly yet. Well...most of us haven't." Jasper grinned and looked over at Edward. Edward glowered at him. Jasper grinned evilly and everyone laughed.
"I would love too. Thanks for asking." I smiled and everyone shuffled round and I ended up next to Edward. I crossed my legs and placed my hands on top of my knee. I smiled at everyone and noted their positions. Rosalie was whispering in Emmett's ear and they soon disappeared into the mass of bodies that were on the dance floor. Alice sighed and I looked at her with a quizzical expression. Alice looked at Jasper and Edward then smiled.
"When Emmett and Rosalie go off to the dance floor, you can be sure that they will control the crowd. Plus I bet in 5 minutes time they are back in their car doing "stuff"" Alice answered my look and giggled. Jasper gazed at her as she continued to giggle. The look of adoration and love he was giving to her made me look away.
"Makes you feel a bit nauseated, doesn't it?" Edward whispered, his green eyes burning into mine. My breath hitched in my throat and I had to swallow several times to get my voice back. Edward laughed at my reaction and slid out of the booth. Holding his hand out he asked,
"Would you like to dance, Miss Swan?" He asked me. He smiled and took my breath away again.
"Defiantly." I replied, smiling back and taking his hand.
He lead me out onto the dance floor and we began to dance. The song at first was Aeromusical by Superbus and I pondered what a strange choice is was, being that it was in french. Edward and I began to dance to the rhythm. At the end the song switched to Genie In A Bottle by Christina Aguilera. As the beginning of the song began to start I felt a strong impulse to sing along as this was one of my favourite songs.
I feel like I've been locked up tight
For a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone
To release me
I closed my eyes and began to sway to the music. I felt myself get lost in the song and the meaning of the words crept up and took at hold of me. I put my hands in the air and began to move my hips from side to side. I opened my eyes to see Edward's emeralds staring straight into my eyes.
You're licking your lips
and blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby Baby Baby
ooohh ohhh ohh
My body's saying lets go
Edward moved closer to me, eliminating the distance between our bodies. Our gaze into each others eyes was electric and neither of us looked away. At this point I didn't want to. He placed his hands on my hips, moving with them at the same time as the beat.
Oohhhh Ohhh Ooh
But my heart is saying no
If you want to be with me
Baby, there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression
Gotta like what you do
My heart felt exactly the same way as the lyrics were saying. Edward's eye's were telling me everything and my body wanted to respond in the same way. Our bodies were moving together as one. Just as everyone else's around us was. Grinding to the music, electric sparks of a club flying everywhere. Clubs were the place where romances started and ended.
Where Edward was touching me, there were sparks of this electric running through my skin. The electric was flowing from his eyes to mine and back again. It was like we were caught in a continuous circle of wonderful electric.
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Gotta rub me the right honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come on and let me out
Music's playing
and the lights down low
One more song and then
we're gonna go
Waiting for someone
who needs me
Hormones racing at the speed of light
but that don't mean it's gonna be tonight
Baby baby baby
I'd closed my eyes by this point as the sight of Edward's eyes was making me want to cry. The electric that I so wanted to give into was still there but I knew that soon I would have to leave. I'd already let it get to far. But as the song said, one more song. I would leave at the end of this song.
I opened my eyes again and pulled Edward even closer to me. He linked his arms around my waist and smiled at me. This smile was different, it was crooked compared to his other. I liked this smile.
Ooohhh ooh ooh
My body's saying lets go
ooh ooh ohh
but my heart is saying no
If
you wanna be with me
Baby, there's a price you pay
I'm a
genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna
be with me
I can make your wish come true
Come and set me
free, baby
And I'll be with you
The electric was now running across my entire body, even through my clothes and I couldn't look away from Edwards eyes. Around us I could see people still grinding against each other, but Edward and I had almost slowed to a slow dance. I link my hands around his neck and looked straight up into his eyes. Even with my heels he was still taller than me.
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come come on and
let me out
Ooohhh ooh ooh
My body's saying lets go
ooh ooh ohh
but my heart is saying no
If you want to be with me
Baby, there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression
Gotta like what you do
I couldn't help it. I knew the song was coming to and end, but I really did not want it too. All I knew was that if I stayed my secret would come out. If I left it would stay safe...
If
you wanna be with me
Baby, there's a price you pay
I'm a
genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna
be with me
I can make your wish come true
Come and set me
free, baby
And I'll be with you
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come on and let me out
I looked up at Edward and pressed my lips against his. My brain was screaming at me No! No! No! But my body was moving without the sense of anything. I had my eyes shut tight but I felt Edward's body tense then pull me tighter as he got over the shock of my kissing him. He pulled me right up again his body, every curve every surface pressing again another one.
His hands travelled across the skin between my corset and jeans. His bit my lip asking for entrance and I granted it. Our tongue's battled for the right to explore but before either of us could win I let my grip from his hair go. It was getting to close. Letting myself stay would mean telling him my secret. That COULD NOT happen. Edward began to protest and his grip around my waist tightened. I tried to pry him loose but he wouldn't let me go.
"Edward...I have to go...I have marking to do." I lied, still trying to pry him loose. His eyes darkened and I could see he really REALLY didn't want me to leave.
"Bella...stay please. One more song" He pleaded, not loosening his grip still. I looked into his eyes and my resolve almost crumbled from just one look. I looked away before it completely disappeared.
" No...I'm sorry Edward. I'll see you at school." I said I broke free of his arms and ran out the bar. I was in my car and driving home before I realised tears were falling. I hadn't wanted to leave. But at least my secret was safe. I looked out along the dark road and thought about what had happened in the club. Could it be that my strict rule I had given myself had already been broken?
