Chapter Three

"I can't believe that you told him he was hot! That is so unlike you!" My best friend Alice squealed after I told her about my very eventful plane ride back to Seattle. We were currently eating dinner at our favorite restaurant since we hadn't seen each other in a couple of weeks. Her boyfriend of 3 years, Jasper, was working late so Alice wanted to have some fun.

I giggled as I took another sip of my Jameson and sprite. Although I was still slightly mortified about what happened on the plane, it wasn't nearly as bad as it had been when I landed two days before. I realized in retrospect that the guy hadn't run screaming for a new seat and had actually continued engaging me in conversation, so obviously my very blunt mouth wasn't nearly as terrible as I thought.

"He was so fucking hot, Alice. Pretty much the hottest guy I've ever seen. Just looking at him made me want to jump his bones," I told her.

"That's because you haven't been laid in far too long, Bella Bop," she said back. "You and Mike have been broken up for months. And you told me yourself that before you guys broke up that you hadn't actually had sex in quite a while. It's been what? At least 6 months since you've gotten any? You definitely are in need of some fun."

I couldn't help but laugh at my friend. Of course Alice thought that sex was the answer to everything. Of course I probably would, too, if I had a guy that looked like Jasper. His curly blonde hair, baby blues, and killer Southern accent was a damn fine package. Plus he was as sweet as could be to Alice. She was very lucky to have someone like him and she knew it. And Alice is a sharer. I know more about her and Jasper's sex life than I really cared to know. According to her he had some good moves in the bedroom.

"I don't know about having random sex, but I am very much willing to go out and let loose. School starts back in two days and I am teaching five classes this semester. I also got an e-mail today letting me know that I am on the committee that was put together to work with the new douchebag department head. It's going to be a killer semester so this may be the last chance I get for quite a while to just relax and enjoy myself."

I finished off my drink and quickly ordered another one. I didn't want to get completely wasted, but I did want to get tipsy and have fun. I knew that Alice wanted to go out and Jasper said that he would meet us once he finished working to drive us around.

Alice gave another squeal of delight and did a couple of small bounces in her seat. She was full of energy as always and was definitely in the mood to go out. I'm sure that not having to take hours to talk me into going with her was just the icing on the cake.

She grabbed my phone off the table and put it in my hands. "Call Jake and find out if he is going to be at New Moon tonight!" She demanded. Jacob Black had been one of my best friends since as far back as I could remember. Our mothers had been best friends when they both got pregnant at the same time. My parents were still living in Seattle at that point, so Jake and I always played together when we were little. Once we were older our friendship just got stronger, and we stayed best friends. Although I often got the impression that Jake would be more than happy to be more than just friends, I just didn't feel the same way about him. Luckily he never acted on what I suspected to be his feelings and we were able to keep our close friendship.

Once Jake graduated from UW with his MBA he and his younger brother Paul decided to open a bar together. Paul typically ran the nighttime happenings of New Moon while Jake was the behind the scenes guy that made sure the bar stayed afloat with the day-to-day business. It wasn't hard, though, for them to keep it going. Everyone loved New Moon and it was always packed. They had found a perfect blend of club and bar. They created a dance floor so that people could bump and grind to the music that was always playing, but surrounding the dance floor were VIP booths that provided full table service for a not overly expensive price. It was fun to go and sit at the booth and drink while people watching.

I quickly sent Jake a text asking him if he would be at the bar tonight. It didn't take long for Jake to text me back and let me know that he would be there with a booth reserved for me.

"We're in," I told Alice and she quickly downed her drink. "Hurry and finish yours, Bella! We need to get back to your house and find something cute for you to wear!"

I looked down at my jeans, tank top and Chucks. I didn't really see anything wrong with my outfit, but I knew that Alice would never in a million years go to a bar with me dressed this way. She majored in fashion design during college and was currently the successful owner of a fun little clothing boutique here in Seattle. She refused to leave the house wearing anything other than a brand new outfit from her store and often demanded that I wear the clothes that she had designed as well. Usually I tried to talk her out of it, but I was so excited about going out to have some fun that I didn't care that I was about to be used as her own personal grown-up Barbie.

An hour later Alice was finishing my make-up and telling me to get dressed. I rarely wore much makeup, but I let her make my eyes kind of smoky and fix my long hair so that it fell in soft waves down my back. She ran to my closet and started searching for something for me to wear.

She grabbed a pair of skinny jeans that she brought me the other day and a blue halter top with pretty ruffles on the front to wear. I quickly put the clothes on and then grabbed the black Manolo Blahnik heels that she was holding. One of the perks about having a best friend that had a name for herself in the fashion world was that she always had beautiful designer shoes on hand for me to wear. When I finished putting on the outfit I went and stood in front of the mirror. Alice came to stand next to me and grinned from ear to ear at our reflection.

"We look pretty damn good," she said with a slight laugh, smoothing down the black and white dress that she was wearing. I nodded because she was right. With the right makeup, hair and clothes I was able to transform perfectly from fun and casual Bella to night time Bella. Maybe I would reconsider the random sex after all.

~~~SoaP~~~

As we walked into New Moon I saw Jake sitting at the bar closest to the door talking to Paul. We walked over to where he was sitting and leaned against the bar.

"What's a girl gotta do to get a drink around here?" I asked with a grin.

"Bells!" Jake exclaimed before wrapping me into a huge hug. "I'm so glad that you decided to go out tonight. And it's great to see you, too, Alice. I saved your regular booth for you two."

I hugged Jake back and thanked him for the table. After grabbing drinks Alice and I made our way to the table that Jake had reserved for us and waited for Jasper to join us. It didn't take him long and soon the three of us were three shots and two drinks in each and having a blast. Alice wanted to dance by that point so I decided to go back to the bar and talk to Jake and grab some more drinks while she and Jasper showed off their moves on the dance floor.

I was sitting at the bar chatting with Jake when I heard two guys arguing behind me. I turned around in enough time to see the two drunk frat boys start to shove one another. Jake was up in a flash to break up the fight, but not before one of the guys fell into a girl standing next to me and caused her to spill her drink across my jeans.

"Hey watch it you little fuckers!" The blonde yelled at the two guys before turning to me with some napkins. "I am so sorry about that!" She exclaimed as she tried to help me dry some of the drink off of my jeans. "If your boyfriend hadn't already taken care of that fight then I would have decked them for you."

I laughed. "Thanks for the thought, but it's no problem. And he's not my boyfriend. He's my really good friend and one of the owners of this bar. I have no doubt that he is taking care of those two guys for us as we speak."

I glanced up at her to give her a smile to let her know I wasn't upset when she got a really strange look on her face. "Do I know you from somewhere?" She asked me.

I looked at the girl trying to see if she looked familiar. She looked like she was a model that had just come from the cat walk. She was tall and curvy with beautiful blonde hair and the most unusual shade of violet eyes that I had ever seen. I briefly wondered if she wore contacts to get her eyes that color.

I shook my head and replied "I don't think so. Perhaps you've seen me on campus though? I teach at UW."

"Yes that must be it," she said to me. "Why don't you come over to the table that my friends and I are at? You're friend seems to still be dealing with the two assholes and the least I could do is get you a drink and give you somewhere to hang out while you wait on him since you are currently wearing my drink."

"You don't have to do that. It was just an accident. But I will take you up on the offer to come to your table since Jake is gone and the friends that I came here with are currently grinding against each other on the dance floor," I said as I pointed to Alice and Jasper. I could tell from the way they currently couldn't take their hands off of each other that they weren't going to be coming back to our table anytime soon.

The blonde turned back to the bar and ordered a round of shots to bring back to the table with us. While she was waiting for them to be made she introduced herself to me. "I'm Rosalie Hale."

"I'm Bella Swan. It's nice to meet you. Now let's go take some shots!"

"Oh Bella, I have a feeling you and I will get along just fine," she said with a grin. I followed her to her table as she carried the shots. She was sitting on the other side of the dance floor from where Alice and I had our table. I could see a guy sitting there, but it was too dark in there for me to make out much about him from a distance. As we got closer to the table he stood up to grab the shots out of Rosalie's hand.

"Alright babe!" He said to Rosalie after giving her a quick kiss on the lips. "More shots! Most excellent!"

"Yea these two jerks at the bar got in a scuffle and I accidentally spilled my drink on Bella here. I decided to buy us all a round of shots and bring her over here to hang out with us to make it up to her," Rosalie said to the guy. "Bella this is my husband Emmett," she introduced as we sat down. "Emmett, this here is Bella."

The guy finally took his eyes off of his wife and glanced at me. He stared at me for a second before a huge grin spread across his face. Before I knew what was happening I was wrapped in a hug from this giant bear of a man. He had to be at least 6'5 and had more muscles than I thought possible for a man.

I laughed at the guy as he twirled me around and then sat me in the booth. "Hi Emmett!"

Rosalie just shook her head and said "you will have to forgive him, Bella. He doesn't quite understand the meaning of personal space."

"No it's totally fine. But I will say that I am ready for a shot. But why are there four? Is one of you planning on throwing back two in a row?"

They both shook their heads. "Nope," Emmett replied, making the 'p' pop at the end. "My brother Edward is here. He walked outside to take a phone call, but he should be back any minute."

The three of us chatted for a few minutes while we waited on this Edward guy. I found out that Emmett was a doctor and Rosalie was an attorney. Talk about a freaking power couple. Not only were they both beautiful, but they were smart and successful, too. I was actually glad that Rosalie spilled her drink on me. They seemed like a fun couple that I could become friends with.

Just as I was about to ask if Emmett's brother got lost I saw Rosalie glance over my shoulder and smile and wave. "Here's Edward now," she said to me. I turned around so that I could introduce myself and almost fell out of my seat. It was him, the stranger from the airplane. And he was just as hot as I remembered. As he looked over at me I saw recognition cross his features and then that sexy smirk yet again made an appearance. He definitely recognized me. I looked at him in his dark jeans and button up with that same sex hair and I remembered how completely I had embarrassed myself while sitting next to him on the plane. So much for never seeing him again. Only I would run into a person that I sat next to on a plane in a city as big as Seattle. And while he was hot and I definitely couldn't complain over the completely gorgeous eye candy, I was mortified that I actually had to talk to a guy that I had acted like a complete ditz in front of when I was hoping to not have to relive that humiliation again. I was fucked.

A/N – There is a link on my profile to the outfits that Bella and Alice are wearing in this chapter. I should probably tell you all now that I am not very creative, so it is a pretty basic set up on Polyvore. However, I am going to be experimenting with my new Polyvore account and try to come up with more creative ways to show you guys what I am picturing my characters to be wearing.
