Chapter 5

BPV

Alice decided that she would have her Christmas gala on Christmas Eve. Since I had given Charlie and Tanya fair warning, they decided that I could go. So the next few weeks passed in a blur. I mostly hung out with Alice buying decorations for the house. I have to say Alice has an eye for Christmas decorations. I mean she didn't go with obnoxious green and red. She went with mostly white decorations with silver and gold accents.

Again I spent most of the day helping Alice decorate. Alice once again turned into General Alice. She dictated what lights go where to Jasper, who willingly followed her orders. For finishing touches, she threw a massive amount of mistletoe in each corner of the room. The room was absolutely Magnificat. Alice had white lights and gold and silver balls hanging from the ceiling. She had a light amount of fake snow on the floor. There was white pieces of cloth hanging from the end tables and counters. Then there was the tree. The tree was about 10 ft tall, and decked from top to bottom in silver, white and gold ointments. It had white ribbon that went the length of the tree. It was amazing what Alice could put together in a few hours. About four hours before the party, Alice and I went to get ready. We figured that it would take that long to get ready. I showered, and then when I came out I spotted Alice with a blow dryer, glitter, a straighten iron and gallons upon gallons of make up.

Alice herself was already ready. Her dress was a stunning dark green that went well with her eyes ( she and Edward had the same color eyes) and dark hair. It was floor length but it gave her curves in all the right places. She had two bags next to her. I noticed the one labeled bebe, which was my dress, but the other was labeled victoria secret. When she saw me she tossed the bat at me and told me to put it on right away. There was a matching black bra and underwear, and to my surprise the bra was a halter pushup bra. What the hell was Alice thinking? What ever I put the bra and underwear on and re wrapped myself in the towel. When I came back out, Alice started to dry my hair. That took about a half hour to do. Then she started to straighten my hair which took another half hour. She then preceded to crimp it that took another half hour. Then she added hair spray and glitter. She then preceded to add makeup. This took about 45 minutes to do. She then tossed me my dress and told me to put it on. When I got into the bathroom I discovered the dress was black with silver design in the middle. It was knee length, a shock to me because Alice knows that style is not in my taste. When I finally looked in the mirror after the dress was on, I did not recognize my self. Truly Alice was a genius when it comes to parties. I could not help but smile a little before I left the bathroom.

When I came out of the bathroom Alice was waiting with my shoes. We figured that I would use the extra hour and a half getting used to my shoes. When she looked at me she smiled and said " you look stunning!" I replied with a " you do to Alice" . An hour and a half later the first guest arrived. Of course it had to be Eric. He gave me his disgusting half smile and I swear a pimple popped as he did so. I wanted to vomit

That was about the time that Edward walked up to us. He said a polite "hi" to Eric, to which Eric did not respond. He then asked to speak to me in private. When Eric was out of ear shot I spoke to Edward.

" thanks for the rescue" I said in a relieved tone.

" No problem, I could see Eric's disgustingness from a mile away, I thought you would like an intervention." He said with his crooked smile that I loved so much.

" Alice told me about your little problem with him and if you need help ... im always here." Did he just tell me that he would help me with Eric, that was odd.

After that we spent about a half hour talking. Edward looked just as happy as I was. All I wanted to do was be with him, dance with him, make out with him. The one big obnoxious problem was that Eric was here. Though he was a reincarnated Mike I was not that much of a bitch to make out with Edward in front of him . Why oh why did Eric have to come here?

When the first slow song came on Eric bounded over. I was not afraid of dancing with him. In fact I hoped that I was so horrible that I would break his feet and he would not want to dance with me ever again. That did not happen though. Whenever my feet got too close he would pull his away. I did not even fall on him. What the hell man! When the second song came on he did not let go of me. How annoying! So whenever we danced I pictured Edwards face instead of his to get me through it. That was one of the saving graces of Edwards good looks. They were enough to save me from puking on the dance floor.

When the third song came on it was a faster paced song. I thought that it would be my chance to get away from Eric. I should of guessed that Eric would try to dance with me to this song as well. As I attempted a b-line for Edward - who at the time was talking to Rosalie and Emmet- Eric grabbed me and started to poorly grind with me. It was so disgusting. The sweat on his face made the pimples shine in the light. The feeling of vomiting came back. I tried to signal to Edward with my eyes, but his back was towards me talking to Emmett. Eric was dancing so dirty that I actually started to formulate self defense plans incase he tried to rape me. It was one of the most degrading things to happen to me in my life. When he grabbed my ass was when I finally had it. I turned around and decked him right in the nose. I actually heard the crunching sound of his nose break , that's how hard I hit him. Before I knew it , Edward had him by the arms and was throwing him out of the front door.

While I was watching Bella slow dance with disgusting Eric, Emmett and Rose came to talk to me. They had talked to some of Eric's friends and found out that his cousin was named Mike , he indeed had the same personality as Eric, but not the looks. They knew this because when Mike would come here for family vacations, he would play with them and Eric. From what they knew he was a blonde haired, blue eyed version of Eric.

" From what they said , Eric bragged about him like there was no tomorrow, though I cannot see why, apparently he's only been with Bella, and he's not rich or anything" Emmett said.

" From what they said, Mike is generic looking, but probably in a small town like that, the best looking thing there!" Rose said .

The conversation continued into the next two songs. In the middle of that third song, Emmett suddenly had this repulsed look on his face. I wondered what could of caused that and that's when Emmett spoke next.

"Man dancing like that should be considered Sexual Assault, he's not grinding hes humping!" Emmett said disgusted

" Wait a minute did he just... did he just grab her ass? What a fucking perv" Emmett continued

" what the fuck?" I said

As I turned around to see what Emmett was talking about I saw Bella deck Eric in the face. I immediately went over there, picked him off the floor by the arms and threw him out the frount door. Disgusting freak I spat at him as I went inside. That was where I found the rest of my family at Bella's side. They had all seen what happened.

After Edward threw Eric out, Emmett went over to see if I was okay. Rose was behind him.

Right after they came over Alice came over with Jasper . Alice's face was concerned, Jasper's was of confusion.

" That was awesome Bella" Emmett said

" Are you okay" Rose said

" Why does Edward look like he was about to murder someone" Jasper asked confused.

" Jasper do you mean to tell me that you did not just see Eric paretically rape Bella on the dance floor" Alice asked

" no I was in the kitchen serving orderves on your orders" Jasper countered back.

At that point Edward walked back to where we were

" are you okay he asked

" yeah im fine now" I said.

" Do you want to dance"Edward asked

" okay" was all I could say

So when the dance came we were on the floor. It was an entirely different experience. I was scared about stepping on his feet ( which I didn't do) and falling ( again I didn't do) . He was a very good leader, that I think was my saving grace. I swear under these lights he looked even more gorgeous ( if that was possible) then he did every day. All I wanted to do was stare into his green eyes all night long, and from the look in his eyes he felt the same way! Was that possible?

Could he actually like me ....Me ...ME! It was at this thought that I began to smile a little. When he saw mine, he gave me my favorite crooked smile. That smile broke through my self control. Hey why not one little kiss I thought to my self, if he hates it he can just pull away or something!

Well that rejection would sting, wouldn't it? Well if I was being honest with myself, then it would do a lot more than sting but who was I kidding. I was thinking about this so much, I did not realize that the song had ended and we were in one of the corners of the room on a couch. What had broken my thoughts was when I heard someone shout " Hey, they're under the mistletoe, you know what that means!" I looked up to see that indeed mistletoe was above Edward and I. We looked at each other and gave one big smile. I heard Alice say " Oh come on already, while we're still young!" To this we both shot Alice daggers and she immediately got the message. Then we looked at each other and smiled again.

You don't have to do this you know!" Edward said, he was trying to give me an option of getting out of this? Was he afraid of kissing me that badly?

" Why wouldn't I ?" I replied back, letting him know that I was not missing out on this!

"Okay suit your self" he shrugged. Why would he say that? What did he think that he was a horrible kisser or something. Or was he afraid that he was. I was willing to think the latter of the two. This is because how could he think that, he obviously had a lot of experience with this, a lot of practice.

From the look on his face , I was willing to bet that he was thinking the same thing.

That was when we leaned in to kiss!
