When we got to Riley's he gave me a quick tour and then we settled in his living room with a bottle of wine and a DVD.

He turned the lights on low and put his arm around me. I didn't pay any attention to the first half an hour as I was too busy debating with myself over what to do. I knew as well as any other girl that Riley would finally make his move tonight to kiss me properly.

So far we had kissed, but strictly with no tongue. That was fine, but I wasn't sure how I felt about things getting more serious. I knew this was because of Edward, which was silly really. He had a girlfriend and wasn't interested in me so why was I holding out for him.

Even I couldn't answer that so finally I decided, it was time to live in the moment. Edward was unattainable and Riley wasn't. Plus he liked me and I did like him too.

Sure enough he began to get closer and closer to me throughout the movie and for once I didn't try to stop it.

"Bella" he whispered.

I turned to look at him and he tilted my chin up and kissed me lightly. I felt so relieved to have finally made a concrete decision that I began to kiss him back, allowing his tongue access to my mouth.

I had to admit that it felt nice to feel like a teenager again, making out in the dark on the sofa.

Later that week

It was Thursday and my week had been hell. I loved my new job and now for the first time in a long time I actually had a boyfriend but this week had been a particularly stressful one at work. Mike had been a giant pain in the ass all week and add multiple run in's with Lauren to the mix and you get the idea.

I had decided that tomorrow I was going to work from home just to get a bit of peace and quiet. That was one of the advantages of being higher up in the chain, Trish told me that I was entitled to work from home whenever I saw fit providing I was able to be contacted and that it wasn't every day.

Alice and Rose were both at home when I got there, "You look like you could use a drink" Rose commented as I flopped on the sofa beside her.

"Yeah make it five" I told her, "This week has been a real challenge I've decided to work from home tomorrow just to keep my sanity."

"Weeeelllll since you don't have to go into work tomorrow and we don't either…." Alice said her blue eyes sparkling.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I asked her raising an eye brow.

"I hope so" she replied with a wink.

"Girls night out!" exclaimed Rose, "It is ladies night at Breaking Dawn and the drinks are cheap."

"Let's do it!" Alice said excitedly bouncing on the spot.

We had a quick dinner and immediately rushed to have showers and get ready.

I threw on a dark pair of skinny jeans and a black formfitting strapless top. Alice insisted I wear coloured heels for a splash of colour so I borrowed a pair of scarlet coloured pumps from Rose.

Alice went for bright too, with black tight jeans and a canary yellow satin top, with a vee neck and a tie around the waist. She pulled her hair up into a cute ponytail and wore a pair of black wedges.

Rose was wearing dark skinny jeans too, with a blush coloured top that suited her blonde hair perfectly.

"Let's go get our drink on!" she announced once we had decided we were ready. We slipped into the cab that Alice had been organised enough, as usual to order for us and within ten minutes we were pulling up outside Breaking Dawn.

"You know what?" Alice asked as we paid the driver and were ushered straight into the club without having to wait in line.

"What's that?" I asked her.

"This might just be my new favourite club" she announced.

"That's big news" Rose remarked, "The Azure is going to be so damn jealous" she giggled.

"Smart ass" Alice replied pretending to be annoyed.

We ordered a cocktail each and surveyed the scene before us. It was pumping for a Thursday night; clearly half of Seattle agreed with Alice and had deemed this place their new hangout.

As we people watched, one cocktail turned into five and then we decided to hit the dance floor.

"HA! Would you look at what the cat dragged in" Alice shouted over the loud music.

We turned to where she was looking and in waltzed Tanya with an army of skanky look-a-likes trailing behind her.

"Fuck me she's multiplied, like some evil alien trying to take over the world" Rose remarked causing us to snigger.

"Or she figured out how to clone herself, though I wouldn't think she'd be smart enough to figure out how to do that" Alice added.

Rose snorted, "She probably doesn't even know what a clone is. Poor Edward, I always thought there was one too many Tanya Denali's in this world, boy if only there was just one."

"What in hells name does he see in her anyway?" Alice asked wobbling slightly due to the large quantity of strong cocktails we had consumed.

"It's beyond me" Rose replied, "Emmett said that most of the time Edward can't even stand to be around her, they fight a lot too."

"Can you blame him for not wanting to spend time with her?" Alice asked, "I mean she treats him like a bank, she's demanding and high maintenance and really she's just a mean person" she added with a pout.

"She is mean!: I suddenly piped up out of nowhere, "She totally hates me" I added with a loud giggle.

"That's because she's jealous of you Bella" Rose informed me.

"No I think it's because I pretend to forget her name" I replied matter of factly.

Alice giggled, "That shit is funny, she gets so wound up."

"Well there is that, but she is jealous and I know why!" Rose said in a sing song voice.

"We all know why Rosie" Alice replied, "Oooooo should we go say hi?" she asked looking excited at the prospect.

"Uh no" I answered her, "She'll come to us, she just can't resist."

"Maybe she's a lesbian!" Rose half shouted, the multiple cocktails had obviously taken affect.

Alice and I laughed at Rose's random outburst. "I need another drink" Alice pouted staring into her empty glass.

"Meeee toooo" I whined.

We got to the bar and ordered another round, while we were waiting Tanya and her cronies made their way across the bar to us.

"Look I told you" I said loudly, "The wicked witch of the west is coming over to say hi."

Alice and Rose cracked up laughing.

"Hi Tabitha!" Alice squealed excitedly when Tanya reached us.

Tanya narrowed her eyes and attempted to glare at us, it wasn't even remotely scary. In fact with all the alcohol I had consumed it was hilarious.

"For fucks sake you dumb bitches its Tanya" she spat.

"Who the hell do you think you're calling a bitch?" Rose demanded getting off her bar stool to stand in front of Tanya.

"You and those two stupid whores" Tanya replied testily.

"I'd watch your mouth if I were you Tanya" Rose replied, "I'm sure Edward would be very disappointed to hear that his 'girlfriend" and yes she did make quote marks in the air when she said that! "has been bad mouthing his brother and best friends girlfriends."

Tanya paled, aha! Alice was definitely clued up in what was going on, there was trouble in paradise.

"Plus Alice here happens to know the staff here, how bad would it look of security dragged your fake tanned ass out of here in front of all of these people?" Rose continued gesturing to the packed club.

Tanya huffed and flounced off with her clones in tow.

"HA HA HA! That was brilliant Rosie!" Alice was in hysterics now, barely able to stay seated on the bar stool.

"I thought so" Rose replied looking pleased with herself, "What do you ladies think about getting out of here and crashing the guys boys night in?"

"I'm game" Alice replied.

"Sounds like fun!" I exclaimed.
