"Why do I even both-" She didn't finish her sentence. The next thing I heard was the bang of her head against the wall.
Oh, Bella. I swear she can't manage to pass through an hour without injuring herself. I quickly ran to the base of the stairs only to see My Angel, falling down, unconscious. I caught her in my arms easily.
"Bella? Bella are you alright?" I set her down on the couch. Alice appeared with ice. 'She's fine, I saw it' she told me in her head. I felt myself relax significantly.
"Bella?" She opened her eyes. "Oh, Bella"
"I- I'm fine, thank you Edward." She said holding the ice pack to her head.
She looked around at her surroundings and noticed she was downstairs. "Did I…?" She trailed off, embarrassed.
"Yes, but you fell very gracefully" I tried to keep my face serious, but I couldn't help the grin that was forming on my face. Emmet was just about to burst with laughter and the others could barely hide their amusement. Bella blushed. She looked so adorable.
"I do love it when you're embarrassed." I said touching her cheek.
"I'm so glad it's enjoyable for you." she answered sarcastically. I laughed and kissed her forehead.
"You look absolutely stunning by the way." I said lifting her up and wrapping my arms around her waist. She was wearing clothes a little too revealing for her taste, I knew, but in my opinion they suited her well.
'I told you that you would love it' came Alice's thought. I just smiled and nodded to her. The only bad thing about the outfit was the inevitable male attention it would provoke."I could say the same about you, Mr. Cullen." Bella said smiling. G-d she's beautiful. I don't know what I did to deserve her. I leaned in to kiss her neck, using my hand to keep the ice in place.
"Let's Go Already!" Rosalie interrupted.
I sighed but I had to agree. It was 7:00, if we wanted to get to Seattle for the night we had better get going. I took Bella and Alice in my Volvo, while Rosalie took Emmett and Jasper in her BMW.
We got to the club in record time. I parked the car in front of the entrance and quickly opened the door for Bella. She smiled and shook her head. It was a game we often played. She always tried to get out of the car before I had the chance to open the door for her. I never let her win. I wrapped my arm around her waist and kissed her jaw, her heart rate quickened responsively.
"Come on." We headed to the club, the rest of the family right behind us.
Bella looked apprehensively at the huge line before us. "This is gonna take a while."
"Silly Bella." I pulled her to the front of the line. I flashed a black VIP card at the woman by the door. She motioned to the bouncer to let us in, much to the displeasure of the others in line.
"Suede" Bella read the name of the club and raised her eyebrows.
I laughed "Bella it'll be fun."
'Wow, isn't she a little hottie. I'd like to see what under those shorts.'
The bouncer's thoughts whipped through my mind. I instinctively let out a low growl. Bella looked at me disapprovingly. If only she knew what guys thought around her. She intertwined her fingers with mine, to comfort me. It calmed me considerably.
The VIP section was pretty standard. It had a private dance floor and lots of couches to relax on.
"Bella let's dance!" Alice excitedly took Bella's hand. The song 'Gotta Get Thru This' was blasting over the speakers.
Bella looked nervous. I nodded at her reassuringly. Rosalie soon joined their group and both girls tried to get Bella to sway and move her hips to the rhythm. Jasper, Emmett, and I sat on a suede couch watching. Bella was failing miserably, but she looked lovely anyway.
When the song ended the girls came over to claim their respective partners and dance. Bella whined. "I can't dance Edward, I tried you saw me…"
"Maybe you just need a better teacher" I whispered in her ear seductively. She seemed dazed. I laughed as I realized I had dazzled her unintentionally.
"Hey!" Alice shouted, offended
"Let's just try" I tugged Bella back to the floor. At this point the song 'SexyBack' was blaring through the room. While I didn't particularly like the song, it had a decent dancing beat. I put Bella in front of me and moved her in sync with my motions. So far she hadn't tripped so I decided to keep it simple. I listened to the lyrics.
Dirty Babe
You see these shackles baby I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave
It's just that no one makes me feel this way
At least that much was true about me. No one made me feel this way. I was, in a sense, just her slave. I couldn't survive without her. I was about to lean in and tell Bella this, but suddenly something felt off. I looked around. To my right Alice and Jasper were dancing close, they hadn't noticed anything. To my left, I don't know if what Rosalie was doing to Emmett qualified as dancing, but they too seemed undisturbed. I decided to let it go. I turned my attention back to Bella. Suddenly she froze.
"What's wron-" I stopped, lifting my head to stare into the faces of 8 hostile vampires
