I tried to get myself together as I started walking over to the guys in the parking lot. I had no idea what had just happened under the bleachers. Well, I knew what happened, I just didn't know what to do about it. Bella had been turning my world upside down for the last 24 hours and I felt lost.
Bella made me feel things I had never experienced before. I'd never thought of a girl as much more than an object before and although I was nice to them it was really only to get what I wanted. I never cared about any of them except for what they could do for me. I wasn't saying that I was a robot or soulless, but I did my share of going through the motions and hiding behind my mask. Just biding the time until I was out of this hick town. Until that day came I kept the mask perfectly in place.
Tonight Bella Swan pulled the fucking mask off under the bleachers and called me out. I didn't know what to say about her ultimatum.
Did I want her? Hell yes.
Did I want to grow up and stop fucking around? I wasn't sure.
Something about Bella turned my insides out and brought out feelings of fury, jealousy and possessiveness. She also made me happy, not to mention how much I lusted after her. Mostly, when I was with her, I felt whole.
I reached the car where Emmett, Jasper, Ben and Tyler were waiting. We'd been hanging out in the parking lot during the game since Emmet wasn't allowed to go to any games at the stadium for 6 months. Last year he streaked across the field during a school event and Ms. Esme was pissed to say the least. I had convinced them to go and sit in the parking lot which was easy enough once I'd produced a bottle of vodka. They didn't know I was really here to stalk Bella.
Emmett called over, "Dude where have you been? Jasper drank the rest of the vodka and I'm getting bored." He sprawled his huge body on the back of my car. I shoved him off.
I ignored his protests and got in the car. They all followed my lead and Ben started playing with his phone and said, "Angela just texted me saying the girls are headed to Brandon's. Let's go!"
I groaned internally but knew I couldn't let them know I didn't want to go. I nodded at the guys, turned my car in the direction of Alice's house and cranked the radio. I was lost in thought about the events that took place earlier.
Once the game was over I wandered over by the field trying to catch a glimpse of her.
Then I saw her talking to Newton and making some kind of plans for tomorrow night. Newton made my blood boil on a regular day but now he thought he could talk to Bella? Not a chance.
Just as I was deciding how to smoothly handle this I saw her give him a smile and then he leaned over and kissed her.
Fuck Newton.
I saw a flash of white in front of my eyes and my senses were over taken by rage. I ducked under the stands and waited. I was going to claim her as mine.
Or so I thought. Things didn't go exactly as planned.
Instinctively I turned onto Main Street and eased to a stop light. Over my thoughts I heard Emmett curse and felt the low rumble behind me. I checked the rearview mirror.
James.
He'd found us of course. He had some kind of tracking device or sixth sense when it came to locating us in the streets.
Here's the thing. We lived in a small backwoods town where it rains ninety-five percent of the year. We'd go to school, hang with our friends, drink a little, fuck when we were lucky and race cars. It's what we do.
There were two racing groups in our area. James with his crew from Port Angeles and us. The rivalry between us had gotten intense and was finally coming to a head. Each year there was a big race down at La Push. The reservation was more flexible and the local police couldn't touch us.
At the light he pulled up on my left. His windows were rolled down and I could see his skank chick Victoria huddled up to him. He scowled in our direction which caused Emmett to get pissed.
"Hey, loser. How come you keep showing up and then running away, like that shit you pulled on Monday?" he yelled, almost jumping over me.
James sneered, "I was just giving you a little taste of what it is going to be like when we kick your ass in La Push!"
The light turned green and I gunned it. Flinging Emmett back into his seat I was determined not to let him back out this time. James and I held steady but just as we reached the next intersection he slammed on the breaks and fishtailed the other direction. He screamed out, "pussies" and squealed off through town.
"What a fucking fucktard! I swear, if he didn't drop out in the 5th grade I would think there was something seriously wrong with him. Gah. He makes me so angry!" Emmett pounded his fist on the dash. "Edward, when I get my car rebuilt I want to be the one to take him down in La Push."
We talked a little more about the components needed to make his Mustang street worthy and I pulled up in front of Alice's house. She lived in a huge bungalow in the historic section of town. If Bella was in there I knew I couldn't see her. No way. I was still all tied up from our encounter and needed some time to think,
"Look guys, is this such a good idea?" I asked, knowing the answer. I was still trying to play cool but my irritation was showing.
Jasper said, "Come on Edward, there are five chicks up there, in various states of undress. Of course this is a good idea." His eyes glazed over at the thought. I'm sure he was imagining pornographic pillow fights in his head.
"Well, I'm still pissed at that bitch move Rose pulled last night and I don't think Emmett wants me to show her how mad I still am." I shot him a look and he shrugged, but his eyes agreed with me. Emmett lived with a rule of bro's before ho's but I had a feeling Rosalie might have been where the line was drawn between us.
"Whatever." I said and threw the keys at Emmett. "I need to take a walk." I jumped out of the car and stalked off. Emmett whooped behind me and I heard them scramble around the back of the house towards Alice's bedroom.
As I walked though the dark night I thought about Bella, licking her lips and attacking my face. She was like a minute of heaven. Why couldn't I give up everything else for that?
Cause I'm a dick and I wanted my cake and to eat it too.
But, I also wanted things that were out of my reach. I definitely liked a challenge. Bella Swan had just become my ultimate challenge.
I picked up my pace and began formulating my plan; there was no way she would turn me down again.

"So, Rose," Alice teased. "If Emmett was an ice cream what flavor would he be and why?" Everyone burst into giggles, waiting for her response.
Rosalie eyed Alice and then said matter of fact "Bear Foot, by Denali Flavors. Vanilla, with brownie and fudge. Why? Have you seen the size of his feet? You know what that means." Everyone laughed again.
"Your turn Alice, what flavor would Jasper be?" she challenged. Alice thought for a minute and finally said "Karamel Sutra by Ben & Jerry's. Soft caramel inside, with chocolate and caramel ice cream, and fudge chips. Because he is so gooey and sweet but a little nasty. You have to wash your hands after all that." She laughed with an evil glint in her eye.
All eyes turned to me. I knew it was coming. No one had mentioned Edward to me all night although he clearly had been on my mind.
"Bella, your turn, what's Edward's flavor?" Jessica asked this time.
I felt my face get hot. I thought about how Edwards mouth tasted like candy. But candy was different from ice cream. I smiled and said, "Well, I think he would be peanut butter and chocolate." I fidgeted with the strap of my tank top as I said it.
"Why?" Rosalie asked. I felt my self get even hotter. Did someone turn on the heat? Why did this seem so revealing when it was just a little slumber party game?
"Because, I can't decide if I want to eat him or lick him and with peanut butter and chocolate you get to do both." I smashed my face in my hands and they all started laughing.
"Bella, that was the best answer yet!" Alice said and I looked up to see everyone in agreement. Even Rosalie looked impressed.
Alice hopped up and went over to her dresser. There was a huge pitcher of drinks she had made earlier and she began refilling glasses. She told us this one was called the Pink Lady, it tasted great.
Angela was sitting on the floor wearing a t-shirt that said "I heart Dave Grohl" on the front. She was flipping through a music magazine and showed us all a photo. "Agh. Look at him. He is so freaking hot. I know I loved him in Nirvana but something about his beard turns me on." She said. Then I swear she pulled the photo up to her face and licked it.
"Angela, that is disgusting! What is wrong with you?" screeched Alice. The alcohol was making us loud and giddy.
Jessica looked up from Alice's computer. She had been obsessively checking her Facebook since we got to her house. "Oh. My. God. You will not believe the photo Lauren put up after the game. I swear she is such a closet ho." And we all ran over to see. Lauren was standing on the field with her back to the camera flashing the photographer her ass with Cocks written on it.
Just then we heard a tap on the window. Alice ran over and looked out. "It's the guys!" she beamed.
Crap. Where was the bathroom? There was no way I was facing Edward again tonight. Rosalie pushed through the girls in front of the window. I noticed she had on her shoes when she said, "Move over girls, I feel the need for some fun tonight." They all looked at her shocked.
"Rosalie, you're going to get in trouble. You're going to get us all in trouble!" Alice told her, but had a defeated look on her face.
Rosalie pushed open the window and called out "Emmett, you big ass, get over here and catch me." And apparently he did because she gave us one last smirk and was gone.
I slid over and looked out the window after Rosalie. I saw Jasper, Ben and Tyler down there but no Edward. He was probably still standing under the bleachers trying to figure out what happened. This thought made me smile.
After some window flirting it became clear the other girls were not going to leave and the guys all left. I was reading a magazine when Alice came over and gave me a grin.
"What is that look for Alice?" I was definitely getting drunk.
She had a gleam in her eye and said "Bella, I know you want to make some changes, to be a little more bold, loosen up, right? Have you ever thought about a piercing?"
"Alice, my ears are pierced. See?" and I flicked my earlobes at her. She must be more drunk than me.
She shook her head, "No Bella, not your ears. I was thinking something a little more exotic. Like maybe your navel. It would be so hot!" she was bouncing with excitement.
Angela and Jess looked at each other and sang "dum da dum da dum" making me nervous. I felt my eyes get wide.
"I don't know Alice. At a piercing shop or something? I would think about it I guess." I said and looked back down at my magazine. I felt her still standing there. Hovering over me.
"What Alice?" I asked. What did she want from me?
She started talking really fast and gushed "letmepierceitforyou." Did she just say she wanted to give me a belly ring? Here? Now? She continued slower, "I have all the tools. I took some lessons. From my old boyfriend who was a tattoo artist and piercer. You know, it would drive Edward completely crazy."
I don't know if it was because I was drunk on Pink Ladies or if I wanted to make Edward crazy but I nodded my head and followed her to the bathroom where she motioned for me to sit on the toilet lid. Once there she pulled out a slim black bag and unzipped it. It was filled with tools that looked more like torture devices than piercing implements. I looked up and noticed Jess and Angela had come in the bathroom to watch.
Jess handed me a shot. I took it and slammed it down my throat.
Alice pushed up my tank and pulled my boy shorts down a little so she could get a good view of my belly. She took out a long silver rod with clamps on the end and attached them to the top part of my naval.
"Aliceā¦that thing is freaking me out!" I stammered and held on to the toilet lid.
Alice grimaced and said, "Bella hold still. Everything will be fine." The next thing I knew a huge silver needle slide through my skin and she whipped a barbell shaped ring though it.
Huh.
Alice's face spread into a huge grin. "I told you I could do it! Not even a drop of blood." I watched her pick up my shot glass, go to the other room, pour in some alcohol and tip it back. Her hands were shaking. I think she felt more sick than I did.
I stood up and looked in the mirror, fingering the little piece of sliver. I had to admit it. It was pretty fucking hot.
