Chapter 3
Diamond Man
Johnny watched Bella exit the club with her father, the old man wasn't looking so healthy these days but Johnny could tell he was the type of geezer to not let his daughter walk around with anyone. He sat down with his men and smoked his cigar watching Cullen top himself up with scotch
"Hey Johnny, what're we going to do about Cullen? He's after the canary and I thought you wanted her?"
"O I do" he smoked his cigar, making a ball of smoke through the air as it blew out of his mouth. Johnny put his cigar out and made his way out of the club. His associates stood up to follow him but he ushered them to sit back down
"Make yourselves comfortable, I won't be long" Johnny put his hat on and his coat and made his way outside.
"Dad?" Bella's father had been coughing for the last 5 minutes and she was starting to get worried
"I'm fine Bells, just need to sit down"
Bella helped her father to the nearest seat in his joint, the place still looked the same, Bella looked over to the corner and saw where her and Charlie used to play imaginary games. One day she would be a princess wanting to be rescued from the evil dragon, the next it would be she was the knight who had to save her dad.
"Bells, I need to" cough "ask you something" he closed his eyes and breathed in and out "it's important"
Bella nodded and sat down next to her dad, she looked at him intently waiting for what he had to say
"I noticed at the club Cullen and Maranzano looking at you when we left the club" Bella looked down and bit her lip "Is there something I should know"
Bella looked to her father; she couldn't lie to him, his brown eyes looked into her eyes wanting to know the truth. She told him about her interaction with Cullen and her only brief looking encounter with Maranzano.
"If I were you Bells, I would go with Cullen"
Bella looked at her father like he had two heads "Why? Did you not hear what I just said?"
Charlie smiled; Bella noticed the deep circles around his eyes
"I knew Edward when he was little, his father was the type of man men respected, women wanted to be with him and children feared and liked depending on who he met" Charlie started coughing furiously
"Dad, go to bed please"
There was a knock at the door, while Bella was putting her father to bed, an unwelcome visitor was waiting patiently outside the door.
Edward and his friends went to Edward's apartment to discuss their next job
"So, word on the street is a new batch of diamonds are coming to Chicago, and extremely rare"
Jasper flipped a picture onto the table showing the most exquisite set of diamonds
"Each is worth £10.000, if we pull this off we wouldn't have to do another job again"
Jasper looked at Edward and saw his friend looking deep in thought while looking at the pictures
"It's a tough call, because they're so rare they can easily be seen by a professional, its tempting Jasper, but I'm going to say no"
"WHAT!" both Jasper and Emmet were outraged, Edward has never said no to anything before
"Think about it, everyone knows vaguely that I'm 'Diamond Man' the pigs want evidence on me and you if they get a whiff of those diamonds around us, we'll be in the Caboose for the rest of our lives" Edward looked at Jasper "There's always going to be diamonds Jasper"
Jasper nodded with a frown, Edward looked warily at his friend and said
"You don't want to do this do you?" Jasper looked at Edward "The whole stealing thing"
Emmett looked between the two waiting for one to make a move and answer; it was Jasper to make the first move
"No, I've met this broad and I want to get a real job for her, the last thing I want her to do is visit me in the big house"
Edward nodded and they started to talk about something else
Bella opened the door to her apartment and saw Johnny Maranzano standing there. Bella gulped and tightened her hand on the door. How had he known where she lived?
"Mr. Maranzano, what can I do for you?"
"May I come in Bella?"
Bella bit her lip making Johnny look down at her plumb lips and breathe in slowly to control himself
"Sure" Bella stepped aside and Johnny smiled and made his way in, he slipped his coat and hat off and set it on the couch. Johnny looked down and saw Bella's creamy, silky legs
"I was wondering Bella, I see you've got no man to be next to you so I want you to be my moll"
Bella crossed her arms and arch an eyebrow at him
"Thanks but no thanks; I don't need a man to be by my side"
Johnny had to remembered to control himself
"I don't think you've understood me Bella" Johnny stalked dangerously close to Bella, making her feel more on edge "When I say I think I should be by my side I really mean you should be by mine and I'm not taking no for an answer"
Bella looked him square in the eye "I don't want to be on your arm"
Johnny eyes grew fierce, he grabbed Bella's arm tightly enough to make it go purple, Bella reached her hand up and slapped him square in the face. Johnny saw red and wrapped his other hand around her neck causing Bella to gasp and breath in what little air she was able to get.
"Let go" she managed to cough out
"Get this right, you're my chippy now, you will be with me at all times and…"
He didn't get chance to finish because Bella threw scotch right into his eyes
"Shit!" he let go of her and tried to get the scotch out of his eyes. Bella breathed in the air and grabbed her neck, feeling it swelling slightly from his grip, she saw he was about to reach fro her again but she got a vase and smashed it over his head and kicking him where it hurt. Johnny clutched himself and withered on the floor in pain
"Get out of my place"
He looked up to her and glared
"You might think you're a fireball canary, but you have no idea what I'm really capable of" he stood up and was walking closer to her, then they both heard the click of a gun
"Get out of my house Maranzano, I won't hesitate to pull the trigger" Bella saw her dad with a furious look on his face, his hand was steady as the gun was placed there ready to shoot if necessary.
Johnny looked to Charlie "You won't be here forever old man, and when you're gone I'll have her"
"Go to hell" Bella spat. Johnny smirked and picked up his belongings before making his way out of the flat and back to the club.
Next Day
Bella walked down the street and went shopping to see if she could get a new outfit for tonight's performance.
You stand there looking at me
I stand here looking at you girl
you know exactly what's on my mind
Bella stopped in her tracks as she looked down the alley to see some men, one in particular singing in sync to their own music. They stopped when they saw her
"Miss. Swan" the one who was singing stuttered, he was a big fan of Bella's he and his friends sneaked into the show often and listened to her sing
"Hello boys" she looked to the one who was singing "What's your name shy Boy?"
"T-Tyler"
Bella smiled "I've got a proposition for you"
Bella was still slightly shaky with the visit from Maranzano but she had a show tonight and she needed to get ready. She applied red lipstick and black eyeliner to her she wore a black sparkly dress which gave her legs a nice touch, she curled and tied up her hair before placing a small glitter hat on top. She smiled acknowledging she looked nice.
She walked into her dad's room and smiled at him, he agreed to her proposal and stayed in bed. Bella walked through the windy streets and walked down an alley way about 1 mile away from the club
"Hey sugar, wana have some fun?"
"Sling your hook boob" Bella rolled her eyes and walked faster down the alley way clutching her coat to her. She felt a hand grab her shoulder and was being pushed to the wall
"Don't be like that sugar" he pinned Bella to the wall and covered her mouth with his hand making sure no-one could hear her screams
Suddenly Bella felt the man leave her
"Scram out"
Rushed footsteps made their way down the alley and Bella looked to see who saved her.
"You should be more careful doll; Chicago isn't the safest of places for a baby vamp like you to be out here alone"
Bella saw it was Edward Cullen who had saved her
"Thanks, but I've got to run, I'm singing tonight"
"I'm going to your club anyway, I'll join you" Edward gave her that smile which no woman could refuse, she nodded and they both walked to her fathers club.
Mean while Johnny and his men were down at a dive, one where Johnny and his men were being entertained by Quiffs. Johnny was straddled by a brown haired girl with green eyes; she wore nothing but her under garments which were very slutty. He grabbed her by her throat and stood up, making her stumble slightly. Johnny walked them backwards until they were in the next room. Still holding the girls throat he slammed the door and pushed her away. He started to undo his pants and she looked down to what he was doing, he saw her press her thighs together and he smirked at that
"On your knees"
She quickly rushed to him and got down on her knees, she engulfed his cock making him toss his head back in pleasure, he looked down and saw nothing but her brown hair. He grabbed it and started to move her head
"Suck me harder"
She did as requested; every Round heel knew Johnny rewarded them well if they did what they were told. He imagined it was the canary sucking him off and not the quaff. He tightened his grip on her hair causing a few strands to become loose of his grip, the quiff tried to pull back from his grip but he wouldn't have it, every time she tired to push away he only brought her back and squeezed just as hard. He started to move his hips which caused her to gag, she reached up and scratched his hand but he slapped it away with is free hand
"Don't dare"
She whimpered slightly and continued to suck on him.
He tossed his head back and screamed his release. He let her go and she dropped to the floor, she cradled the back of her head as it began to pulse, she felt the headache growing in her head and she looked up to Johnny seeing him fixing his pants and get some dough out
"Here" he generously gave her £200, she took it and thanked him.
Johnny got his friends and drove to somewhere where they had to take care of some business.
Edward was furious that low life touched what was his, it took all of the will powering him to not pull out his gun and shoot the ignorant boob right there and then, but he didn't want to frighten off his doll. He looked down at her as they walked into the club, taking in what she was wearing
"What?"
He smiled and looked up at her
"You've got me dizzy doll" he kissed her hand and for the first time she smiled at him, not a cocky smile, a true genuine smile with the most gorgeous blush he had ever seen. She bit her lip and Edward's eyes glazed over imagining how much he wanted to bite her lip, wondering how she tasted and thinking she tasted as good as she smelt
"See you later cake-eater"
Edward smirked and looked at Bella as she went behind the stage.
"Good evening Mr. Cullen" Mike the bartender had saved a seat for Mr. Cullen as instructed to the very front of the stage "Will it be the normal drink"
"Yes Mike" Edward set his hat down and draped his coat over the chair. Mike nodded his head and hurried to get Edward drink. The lights dipped and the cheers of the men roared through the joint
"Presenting for one night Tyler Lockwood" Edward furrowed his eyebrows "and the gorgeous Isabella Swan"
Edward smiled and clapped; Mike set his drink down and went to serve the next customer
Bella walked out with Tyler close by, he cleaned up nicely in his suit and Bella gave him a reassuring smile to tell him it was ok
Somebody give me a bass line

I see you lookin, at what you see
Boy, now dont be shy, aint nothin' but facing opportunity
She's right you know, (uh, uh) She's right

Edward watched as Bella swayed her hips, causing him to grip the chair painfully tight, he licked his lips and then bit his bottom lip, O how he wanted her bad
You stand there looking at me (At me)
I stand here looking at you girl (At you, boy)
You know exactly what's on my mind (Yeah)

Tilt Ya Head Back

Bella looked to the crowd and saw Edward sitting at the very front looking at her with much need, she felt her knees begin to shake, she had never felt this intense about anyone, she decided to play with him a little, she brought her hands to her hair and sashayed her hips more closing her eyes.
Bring it back up slowly
Now situations, girl, they often change
Listen to me
Sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad, but whos to blame?
He's right you know, (Uh Uh!) He's right

Edward shifted his position to get more comfortable, the little minx, Edward would be having a word with her after the show was over
Come here boy

And I dont know...

Little bit of rap, with a little bit of bitch
You stand there looking at me (At me)
I stand here looking at you girl (At you, boy)
You know exactly what's on my mind (Yeah)
Its just so easy to see
Bella looked to Edward and bit her lips with a smile, in the back of her mind she begged her body to stop, she didn't want to be a chippy, and even though she wanted him she would remain a virgin until her wedding night with her husband.
You came here looking for me
But I dont do this type of thing all the time
You want me to...
Come here boy

Got a little bit, can I get a little bit? (Yeah, Yeah)

Tilt Ya Head Back
Take It Down Now(...all night)
Bring it back up slowly
The crowd erupted with thunderous applause; she held Tyler's hand and smiled. He thanked her and bowed. She saw the flashing lights of cameras reach their way. Bella smiled at everyone in the club.
"Thank you, tonight is a very special night for me as I get to sing with this incredible talented man" Tyler blushed "And I will be singing one more song tonight because I won't be singing for the next week"
The crowd weren't happy about this as they begged her to sing
"My voice needs rest, but I assure you my return night will be…naughty"
The crowd whistled and cheered.
After Bella finished her last song of the night, she went into her dressing room and replied her make-up. She heard the door open and close, she turned to see a smirking Edward Cullen, she gasped and parted her lips
"You've been teasing me Doll"
O god! Was all Bella thought
