Chapter 16 – Dancing – Dancing – and a mystery man – Part 1

Friday, March 13

Bella POV

I can't believe how time flies. It's been two weeks since George, Brad, Angie and the kids have been here and I love every minute of it. I love George being my roommate. He really is such a sweetheart and so caring. I am so happy he is my friend even though I know there is major sensual tension. I won't say sexual, because let's face fact, I don't even know what 1st, 2nd and 3rd base entails. I am such a prude. Having him there does help me like coming home. I guess being alone has its ups and downs.

I have enjoyed my sister time with Angie too. She is always so honest and brutal with me. I was telling her how I am so hot and bothered and she enlightens me that it's due to sexual tension. Boy, do I remember that conversation and I was going to kill Angie by involving Alice and Rose. They didn't tease me or make fun of me, but they were just a little more graphic that I would have liked. I mean, I am for porn and all, but when you know certain positions and can describe them to the tee, well, let's just say, I have found new respect for Alice, Rose and Angie.

I got to love Alice and Rose though. They have accepted this prude with open arms. I considered them my best friends and "sisters" after the sex, toys and lingerie talk. They were honest and brutal as Angie was and I love that. Afterwards, when Angie and I were alone, she actually encouraged me to bring my wall down for them. Angie is very good at reading people and I trusted Angie with my life.

Tonight we are finally going out dancing. Last Friday an emergency came up and well I worked all weekend. One of the experiments failed in the first run and I had to figure what went wrong. It was rough going but I found that parts of the formula hadn't been written properly. Once the changes were made and tested in the computer program, the first run completed successfully. Edward, Jasper, Emmett and Carlisle presented the findings to the investors who in turn provided more funding. I was thrilled since that meant I was doing something right. As well, we were beginning to plan for the Easter charity carnival which the Cullens put on for the Seattle Pediatric Cancer Ward. We were pretty much stressed out all week and well tonight is a welcome sight.

"Bella, come on! We are going to be late for dinner."

"You know Mr. Clooney – you need to calm yourself down. I promise you will be getting a fine girl tonight and believe the shit you put out."

"Bella, stop the shit and get out. Angie and Brad are waiting too."

Ok, let me see. Hmm, I look pretty good. The dress Angie picked out really looks great on me and I know I will be dancing a lot tonight.

"Ok, so ta da da da…how do I look?"

Angie and Brad smiled but George gasped. "That bad?" I frowned.

"No babe, that good. Damn, can we just skip tonight and you can be mine forever?"

I gave him my little flirty look I love to give him, gave him a sensual kiss on his neck..

"Thank you and I know I must look good if I can make you twitch."

He twitched again. I am good.

Angie had to chime in "Alright kids. Let's get the ball rolling. I am starving and I want some sushi now!"

I looked at her "Are we pregnant?"

Brad looked at her with a curious eye "Hmm, darling are we?"

She smacked him "Hush now, but we can try tonight."

I made a face "Alright, now I have to carry that image all night long. I hate you both."

Ding dong…Ah saved by the bell. "Brad, can you please get that, I need a glass of water."

"Sure babycakes." He smacked my butt.

"Angie, control your man."

She smiled with her little evil smile "Gladly, I have been waiting to test out the whips we got delivered…"

Alice, Rose, Jasper, Emmett and Edward came in and heard what Angie had just said.

As always, Rose had to say something "Did someone say whips? Damn, I just got wet. Is there a show tonight?"

Emmett adjusted, "Come on baby. I still haven't gotten over from the last one."

I heard that and had to laugh. "Ok another mental picture I need to erase. Hi everyone."

I heard the whistles and I blushed. "Well thank you. I must look good."

George had to chime in "Alright! Alright! Let's stop that now. She already has a big enough head and I don't want it too get bigger."

I smiled and whispered to his ear "Damn, baby, I thought tonight would be our night."

His jaw dropped "You are an evil vixen and you must be destroyed."

I ran to Jasper and Emmett and they protected me. "See, you can catch me, old man."

Angie was now in a mood, "Alright both of you, stop the shit or I will put you in the room lock the door and …"

I knew where she was going with that "Ok Ang, let's go. I know … hungry…we need to feed the bitch."

She smiled and gave me a kiss and we left.

Edward POV

When I heard Angie talk about whips, I knew Brad was in trouble. He had this grin on his face as he opened the door. As always, Angie wasn't embarrassed. Again, I don't ever want to cross that women – she is worse than Rosalie. Where's my Bella? I missed seeing her the past two days. I was out of the building in meetings with investors these past few days and I missed seeing Bella sashaying the halls in her sexy outfits.

I will give her a lot of credit last weekend. I saw a Bella I hadn't seen. She was so determined and so devoted when she was trying to resolve the problems encountered. It took her all weekend from what I heard from the team. She didn't go home. She resolved it and by Monday morning the results were in and we had everything ready to start preparing the presentations for the investors. She amazes me every day I see her.

When I saw Bella come out of the kitchen, it took everything out of me not drop my jaw. Here dress was just amazing. She looked like what George called her – a hot little vixen. It was perfect for dancing but that dress was out of her character. She must have some alternative motive for tonight. Or maybe, Angie got to dress her up. .

Anyway, Bella looked HOT HOT HOT! After looking, all the ladies were looking really hot. Angie had a black tight mini dress which I know was driving Brad crazy. Alice was all in black leather and lace and Rose was in red leather and lace. We were going to our favorite nightclub, Secret Garden. It had 3 theme floors. One floor was a lounge area where local bands played. The second floor played R&B and Dance. The third floor played whatever the theme was for the night. Tonight's theme was latin night and the girls were excited to dance salsa, meringue and reggaeton. I was too, hoping that Bella was going to let me dance with her tonight.

I need to think of a way to get Bella away from the old hawk. I don't know what the hell Dad said to George, but he was protecting Bella. The flowers I was sending to her were being returned. George had called the delivery service department in our building stating that any flowers or packages that were anonymous were to be returned. That son of a bitch had all the arrangements sent back. I eventually stopped the order. I had to get another game plan.

Dinner was great. We all loved sushi and we all loaded up because we knew we were going to drink tonight. Since we had ordered the limo, no one was going to be the designated driver. Angie, Brad and George had gotten the weekend off so their goal was to party as hard as they could tonight. I knew we were all under stress and we all had the goal to party as much as our bodies could take. Bella wanted the same thing. Something was going on with her, but no one knew. Maybe I can get her on the dance floor and finally kiss those beautiful red lips.

When we got to the club, it was packed. Thank god we called ahead. We got a great vip room and we entered through the back door to avoid the paparazzi. Angie, Brad and George didn't care, but they wanted to try to have a stress free night. The room was great. It oversaw the second floor. We had our own staircase to get to the third floor and first floor. We were all getting coming when our waitress came in "Good evening everyone. My name is Cassie and I will be your waitress. What can I get you all to start?"

Emmett boomed, "Well, definitely we need a bottle of the best Patron." We all agreed and we individually ordered our separate drinks. Surprisingly, Bella order cranberry juice and Grey Goose Vodka. I would have thought she was a martini woman.

When the Patron came, Emmett prepared the shot glasses and we each took one and got the salt and lime ready. Emmett saw that everyone was ready,

"Cheers to a great family any person can have!"

Alice then said "To Bella for being a great friend and sister"

Jasper then "To Angie, Brad and George, for being great people"

Bella then "To my new family"

Angie, Brad and George all said "To a great group – the Cullens and our Bella"

I said "To a great night"

Rose then said "To whips, chains and a good fucking."

We all laughed and took the shot, licked and sucked. Damn that was good.

The music was getting good and the girls wanted to dance. Alice was the first to say lets go dance. Bella was like "One minute, I need one more shot." Damn when she took that shot without making a face, I twitched. That is one hot woman.

The girls went down to dance while we men stared. Yeah, we are too much. We allow the women go down to the dance floor ALONE to dance among themselves. We are just the smartest people in this entire world. As we were checking the women out, I couldn't help looking at Bella. The girl could move and that dress accentuated every single move she made. I am having trouble believing Bella was a virgin. No virgin dances the way she does. I looked around our room. Brad and George were sitting down talking and having a couple of drinks. Brad must really trust Angie. She is dancing really close to the girls. I guess Brad is not a dancer. If I know George, he is just going to scope the place out and find his target. I hope it won't be Bella. I saw how he has looked at her and I didn't like it.

Jasper took me out of my trance. "Hey man, we're going down to dance."

I nodded. I went to see if they got to Alice and Rose when I didn't see Bella. Where the hell was she? I see Angie - she keeps dancing really close to the two couples, but I don't see Bella. Where the hell did she go?

Bella POV

I was going to enjoy tonight. I had too much sexual tension building up and I needed to release. The shots were what I really needed to loosen me up. They were yummy and it hit the spot. When we decided to go down to dance, I was really excited. I wanted to see how this dress was going to pan out. Usually I wore pants but Angie convinced me to get the dress. I loved it because there was just this feeling that something was going to happen because of the dress.

"Hi, may I have this dance?"

This strong and extremely handsome man came up to me and extended his arm. I don't know what happen or why I took his hand and we were dancing together. I looked into his eyes and I felt safe. It wasn't like I felt with the guys, it was different. He was hot and he made feel hot, made me feel like a woman. He really didn't "touch" me as we danced, but it felt like it did and boy could he dance. The way he moved his hips – I could just imagine what he could do in bed. Did I really just think that?

After dancing a bit, we moved away from the speakers so we can speak.

"Well, let me introduce myself – my name is Demetri."

"Hello Demetri, my name is Bella."

He shook my hand very kindly. He was gorgeous. He spoke with a tiny accent. He was tall, as tall as Emmett but not as burley but his muscles are well defined. He was olive complexion with the most beautiful and sparkling hazel eyes and dark brown hair. It was longer than most but he wore it well. He was dressed like he was out of a Giorgio Armani ad and his aroma was breathtaking. I knew right there I was going to have a great night.
