Hello again! Just wanted to say a couple of things before you read chapter eight. :P So, to start, my posting is going to get random because sometimes I don't have any time on the weekends to make a good chapter. Also, I'm not sure what year my story takes place exactly, but in this chapter, I used songs that aren't from 2006. Just wanted to point that out.

Thank you so much for reading, and enjoy!

A remix of Britney Spears' Toxic came on abruptly and soon the three of us were jumping to the music. All that I could hear was the bass thumping in my ears. All that I could feel was the bodies jumping against mine, the hands of Jessica and Lauren around my waist. Their hands going into my hair, waving their heads from side to side. All I could smell was the sweat from other people. All I could taste was the aftertaste of the shot. All I could see was the faces of Lauren and Jessica from the flashing lights with their eyes closed, smiles big. The music changed again to a remix of This Girl by Kungs vs Cookin' On 3 Burners that made the dancing even better.

Suddenly, a warm hand touched my back and I turned to see who it was. Behind me, there was a whole wall of people, but no one facing me. I turned away again, guessing it was just an accident. But it happened once again, this time longer than before. The touch left tingles flowing throughout my body and made me feel amazing. I smiled wide and turned around, still jumping. The person wrapped an arm around my waist when I turned was jumping to the music with his head back and I lowered my jumps a bit, almost to a stop and my eyes widened with surprise.

My world seemed to stop and then move again in slow motion. This man had to be the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen. His hair was cropped short and his face held a tiny bit of stubble. His jaw was sharp and his Adam's apple popped out as he moved his neck to the music. He wore a dark blue shirt with a black leather jacket over top. The shirt was a v neck that let me see his collarbone that made my mouth water. Before I could look anywhere else, his face fell down with his eyes still closed. My eyes stayed on his face while he moved his one arm from around my waist to grab my arm to put it around his neck, and did the same thing with our other arms. I bit my lip as I looked at his and when I looked up to his eyes, they had opened.

His beautiful nut-brown eyes held mine and I slightly gasped at how intense they were. I could see fierceness and excitement dancing within them. His eyes darted between mine with lust and shined with curiosity. I couldn't seem to look away. It was like I was held captive inside of these strangers gaze. He was the one to look away first, but only for a moment to look at my lips and then back to my own eyes. I did the same and decided whether or not I want to kiss him. My body reacted with how I was thinking, which was to pull him closer and press my lips to his.

At first, his warm lips were closed against mine. Slowly and gently, he parted my own and our urges became more pronounced as our teeth clattered together and how our tongues fought for control. Without breaking the kiss, he lifted me up by putting his huge hands on my butt. My legs automatically wrapped around his waist to bring him closer. I fought back a moan when our sensitive places rubbed together at the movement. He groaned as I brought his bottom lip in between my teeth made me shiver. All too soon, he brought our makeout session to an end when he removed his lips from mine.

He brought his mouth to my ear and whispered huskily, "You wanna maybe get out of here?"

I shivered again before bringing my lips to his ear. "Maybe after a couple of more drinks." I turned to look for Lauren and Jessica to see that they both had a man who they were dancing with and Jessica gave me a thumbs up when I looked at her. Had she seen what we did? I blushed lightly and glanced at this stranger's face when he took my hand in his. He led her to the bar we were sitting at before and asked what I wanted to drink.

"Two tequila shots," I half yelled, exhausted from dancing yet so awake and alive from this man. Speaking of which, I don't even know his name. "What's your name?" I called to him.

He smirked at me before answering. "Paul. Yours?"

I smiled back. "Isabella. You could call me Bella for short."

The bartender handed me my two shots and I downed them quickly.

"Woah there, Bella," he chuckled. "Someone's thirsty." He smirked his hot smile again.

"I don't usually drink, so, why not get drunk?" I asked stupidly.

We talked for awhile, speaking of nonsense, talking about the people around us.

"What brings you to Port Angeles?" He asked randomly and innocently.

Did I tell him I wasn't from here? I shrugged it off and answered. "Having a rough time with getting over a breakup. My friends dragged me here." I frowned and looked away. He grabbed my chin and pulled it forward again, making eye contact with me.

"Everything's gonna be okay, Bella." His soothing voice makes me believe him. "I'm here for you and I promise ill make sure you're okay." I smiled softly at him and couldn't help but notice how relaxed and comfortable he can make me feel. Who is this Paul, and why haven't I met him sooner?

I leaned closer to him, wanting to feel his delicious lips on mine again, but we were interrupted when Jessica and Lauren came walking towards us.

"Bella, baby!" Jessica called, her voice slurred. When did she drink more? How long were Paul and I talking? I looked down at my watch and realized it was almost one in the morning.

"Oh, shit." I cursed, probably inaudible from the still blaring music.

"What's wrong, Bella?" Paul asked, obviously hearing my curse. I looked up at him confused, but once again shrugged it off.

"It's really late. I should probably get my friends home." I said reluctantly. I didn't want to leave Paul. I never wanted to leave his side. "Will I see you again?" I questioned him, upset that I'm leaving.

"Trust me," he said, "you will. Lots." And I did trust him. He bent down and kissed my cheek before slowly backing away and walking out of my sight.

I sighed and wondered about his weird questions and responses. Will I see him after this? How? We don't know each other last names, and we never got each other's number. I crushed those thoughts down when a very, very drunk Jessica and Lauren both whined about being tired and wanting to sleep. I grabbed both of their hands and walked towards and out of the club exit. I sat them both down in the back seat next to each other, took the car keys from Lauren's purse, and let them talk about the guys they had met at the club. I sighed again and drove away from the club, away from my mysterious man.
