Bella lay on the couch in her apartment, her new book from the library was draped across her stomach as she stared at the ceiling. She had been trying to read, but found that she would start daydreaming.
Had she imagined the scene in the coffee shop? Both Jacob and Edward seemed to be coming on to her, but why? She was just an ordinary woman, nothing special compared to the two Gods that she shared coffee with only a few hours ago. They were unbelievable gorgeous so why would they like her? And the "they" part was seriously intriguing. Surely they each knew what the other was doing… Did they do things like that all the time? Picking up girls in the coffee shop and doing God knows what… together?
Yes.
Definitely intriguing.
Her cat jumped up onto the couch scaring the day lights out of her. "Geeze Andy!" The fat cat just looked at her with bright blue disapproving eyes as though he knew what she was thinking about.
"What?" She screeched at him, only to have him look away and start twitching his tail irritably.
Oh. My. God. She was talking to the cat. Did this make her the crazy cat lady on the corner? Would she grow old with only her crabby tabbies to keep her company? She was 23 years old and had only two boyfriends in the past. TWO. That was unacceptable in her eyes. Most twenty somethings would be out every night, partying like their lives depended on it. Drinking like it was going out of style. And have a sex life that was even worth mentioning. Sex life? What was that? It seemed that she was becoming very close to her Rabbit, something that would be considered normal if she was seeing anyone else… outside of the bedroom.
Did she really want to go out like that? Was the life she was living now the life she wanted to live forever? That question was easy enough to answer.
No. She wanted to have fun, experience life, and drink like it was going out of style. She grinned. Maybe she made the right decision by giving Jacob her number. She sure hoped so…
"" Edward said to Jacob as soon as they came through the door of their apartment. Jacob looked over to him and grinned. They both moved with grace over to the sleek computer on the desk in the corner of the dining room. Jacob sat down fluidly as Edward grabbed a chair, swung it around and sat in it backwards, propping his chin on his folded arms.
Both were silent as Jacob brought up the internet and typed the address in. Instantly appeared on the screen, announcing the hottest object up for auction. He moved the screen down to the bottom and clicked on the host link. It moved him to another site, which monitored who was trying to log in. After a few swiftly typed codes, Jacob hacked into the site.
A screen appeared naming the owner and everyone else that had anything to do with the site.
"Bella isn't listed." Edward noted out loud.
Jacob scanned the page for a few minutes. "It looks like they are listed in groups." He scanned up and down the page again. He pointed to the monitor. "Look."
There on the screen was the name 'SwanB'. It listed her city and state and her position. Her scheduled time to be online was at eleven o'clock.
"Looks like we have a date." Edward smiled at Jacob who smirked at the screen.
At 10:55 Bella was sitting at her computer with Andy curled at in her lap. "Time to get to work." She logged into the site and started to scan the list of potential buyers that were logged in. The system kept up with everyone by last name first initial, and she was pleased to see that only twenty people were logged into the site. Hopefully it would be an easy night. I caught her attention that CullenC was logged on. He was a frequent buyer, so there was obviously something of consiterable value being auctioned tonight.
Bella sat back into her chair as the main monitoring screen came up, four rows diving her screen vertically. One for each auction room that was open. There were only four rooms as it was, and three auctions ending within the hour. So only one auction was actually scheduled for tonight. Yeah, it was going to be easy alright, downright boring.
If only she knew…
Jacob sat at the computer staring at it blankly. "What should I say?"
"I don't know. It doesn't look like very many people are on. Ummm, how about like if you want a good time PM me." Edward said with a laugh. "Surely she thinks that is unacceptable."
CullenC: If you're looking for a good time, PM me.
Bella came back from her bedroom with her book, fully intending on making it at least half way through it by morning. On an easy night like this she could read it way if she wanted to. She sat back down in her chair and popped the top on a Dr. Pepper. She took a drink only to practically spit it back out at the computer screen.
"What the hell?" Mr. Cullen had obviously mistaken this site for or something! PM me? "What the hell?"
SwanB: CullenC you have been warned. This is NOT a dating site.
CullenC: So Swan, you looking for a good time?
Bella gapped with an open mouth at her computer. What? Was she looking for a good time? She quickly PMed CullenC to stop this nonsense.
~PRIVATE MESSAGE~
SwanB: Who is this?
CullenC: CullenC. Who else would it be?
SwanB: CullenC is a gentleman. Very intelligent and well spoken. This is NOT CullenC, and this is not dating site. If you're looking for a good time, go somewhere else.
CullenC: OK. You caught me. This is not CullenC.
SwanB: I knew it wasn't. It is against the rules of this site for anyone to be using someone else's account. I'm sorry, but you are about to be dismissed.
CullenC: No. I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you…how about meeting for coffee? Let me guess... two creams and two sugars?
Bella stared at the computer screen. Jacob? Or was it Edward? Either way, she knew her night was about to get much more interesting.
SwanB: Who is this?
CullenC: Jacob. Edward is here too.
Well if she could say anything, it was that the boy was honest. He could have lied, or not told her that Edward was there… BUT… it could be Edward, without Jacob there… this was confusing.
SwanB: Hi… technically we could get into a lot of trouble for this…
CullenC: I knew it, you're a stickler for the rules.
SwanB: Maybe. The monitor could dismiss you for three days… if she felt like it.
"She's in." Edward breathed over Jacob's shoulder once he read her final words. "Oh, she is SO in!"
"Don't get all excited yet. She may be 'in', but I don't think she knows that yet." Jacob rationalized.
"Whatever. We'll do what we have to."
CullenC: Good thing I know the monitor personally. See, she is a really good friend of mine.
SwanB: Really? So, what is her bothers name? Where did she go to college at? Did she even go to college?
CullenC: Those are all very good questions. I plan on getting to know her even better the next time I see her. ;)
"What does he mean by that?" Bella said out loud to her computer. And what the hell was the winking smiley for?
SwanB: Huh. What if she backs out? Maybe she was a little weirded out by the scene in the coffee shop…
Jacob flinched as Edward slammed his beer down on the desk. "What the fuck? Is she just some big tease or something?" Edward jumped up and roughly shoved his chair back to the table. "Fuck this. I'm going to bed. Have fun with Vanilla." He said as he stopped to his room and slammed the door behind him.
SwanB: But maybe she wasn't…
Bells stared at the computer screen. Did she really just write that? What the hell had gotten into her? She was in no way experienced in this type of relationship… hell, she could barely handle one guy, let alone two. Especially these two!
It hadn't taken her long to realize that both men were equally passionate. Edward was hard… something may have happened in his past to make him like he was today. And Jacob was sincere. Genuine, and that was refreshing. Bella was use to men being complete fakes, only telling her what they thought she wanted to hear so they could get what they wanted.
Jacob's grin spread from ear to ear. She was so in.
CullenC: If we didn't scare you away, then maybe you will consider seeing us again.
SwanB: You sound so funny! If WE didn't scare you… seeing US again…
CullenC: Well, it's either that, or I can give you the impression that you'll only be seeing me. And I don't know if that would sway your opinion in my favor or not. We are kind of a package deal.
SwanB: Seeing you is not of the bad, Jacob. It's just weird for me b/c I've never been in this situation before.
CullenC: Don't worry Bella. We'll make it as easy on you as possible. We won't push you to do anything that you're uncomfortable with. Promise.
That was always a plus. Bella was relieved to know that they were going to lay it all on the line for her. Secretly, she hated to be surprised.
SwanB: So when do you want to get together?
CullenC: Right now… but I know your working. So how about Saturday night? We can meet for dinner and catch a movie.
SwanB: Sounds good to me. Where and what time do you want to meet?
CullenC: IDK. Let me talk to Edward and I'll call you? What kind of food do you like?
SwanB: Sounds good. I'm not picky, just not Chinese. Yuck.
CullenC: LOL… ok. I'll call you Friday and let you know. Ok?
SwanB: Ok. TTYL.
CullenC: TTFN.
SwanB: LMAO! Ok Tigger!
Ok. She did it. She just made a date with the TWO most gorgeous men she ever met. Oh holly shit! Bella threw her head in her hands and laughed.
Jacob logged off of the computer and then walked to Edward's door. He didn't have to open the door to know what it was he was doing behind it.
This type of relationship was essential for them. It was been their way for years, ever since high school; the very first time they had a threesome with one of their classmate's older sister. It got them off in a big way, and it had been this way ever since. Sure, they had each had girlfriends separately, but it wasn't the same for either one of them. They had been looking for another girl since their last one bailed on them. She moved out of state to a larger college and left them to flounder for the past 3 months.
So it was safe to say that Edward was trying to work out his frustrations about Bella. The grunts and strangled moans only confirmed what Jacob already knew.
Jacob, being the joker his is bagged loudly on Edward's door. "WHAT?"
"I just thought you might want to know that she is still in." Jacob smiled at the door as he heard an aggravated sigh from the other side.
"Good."
