I had to split the chapter so this is part 2.
The last chapter left at a low but let's see what happens next. These crazy kids are all confuzzled and Edward is a huge ass. Playing with poor ole B is just plain mean.
So why do I still love him?
Anyway thanks to EternallyCullen who helped put a band aid on my confidence and for just being amazing.
Twilight isn't mine.
My head falls forward and I sip on my third drink glumly. Maybe all I need is to find someone that wouldn't mind having sex with me and then I won't be a fucking virgin. I was sure that guys liked that, maybe only in books and movies.
I sigh loudly. After he saw my reaction he looked surprised and so smug but more importantly he made me feel like a freak.
I don't even think I'm even mad at him, I'm just mad.
I'm also embarrassed. I've heard the stories about him and I'm starting to think that maybe I'm faulty or something because he's not exactly usually a gentleman or picky, yet he just told me that he doesn't want me.
I still don't even understand why I want him to want me, it's all very confusing.
"Are you okay beautiful?" The man to my right smiles kindly at me. He's good looking, with long blonde hair that's tied back in a ponytail. He's wearing a leather biker jacket and jeans.
"I'm fine." I talk loudly as he's a fair distance away and the music is loud.
He slides his drink along the bar until he's a bit closer.
"I'm James."
I smile "Bella."
"Did you fall out with your boyfriend, Bella?"
I shake my head. "Not my boyfriend."
"Unlucky him, lucky me!" He laughs.
I like him straight away, he's straightforward and he makes me laugh with his bluntness. We chat for a bit, mainly talking about Seattle, he tells me to go to the bar he owns sometime. I make a mental note of its name, Eclipse.
He actual makes me feel like a normal, pretty girl and I almost forget about Edward. Almost. After a while he leans his head towards mine and asks if I want to go somewhere a little quieter. I vaguely remember Alice telling me that means sex. I know this isn't something I feel comfortable doing.
"I have to wait for my friends."
He looks disappointed but smiles anyway. I stand to get the bar tenders attention.
"A dance then?"
I laugh and explain that I can't dance, he smiles but doesn't look inhibited. He stands up too and comes closer, he licks his lips and leans into my mouth. He pauses and I close my eyes as his lips touch mine. It's not that it's a bad kiss at all, I've had worse. Jake wasn't the best at it and it was always like kissing a ventriloquist dummy with his open, close mouth action. But it feels wrong. I go to pull away when I hear voice.
"What the fuck?"
I open my eyes to see Edward yanking James away shouting into his face. James looks a bit sheepish as Edward pokes a finger into his chest.
I cross my arms in annoyance, I'm so fed up with everyone trying to decide what's best for me. They are all worse than my own father. I snarl in Edward's direction and sway slightly. So he doesn't want me but no one else can have me?
I push myself away from the bar, the room spins slightly. Three drinks, I'm such a lightweight. I grab my purse and stumble towards the exit, suddenly fed up with all this shit. As I get to the door I feel a large hand clasp around mine. I pull it away in irritation and turn to see Edward, he looks really mad.
"What the hell were you thinking? That's James Erie, it's really not a good idea to get involved with him. He's bad news Bella. I mean. You don't even know him. Fuck. I hadn't even left you alone for long."
If he was a cartoon, he'd have steam coming out of his ears, right about now. It would've made me laugh but I'm the one that should be annoyed here. I glare back at him.
"Who died and put you in charge of my life? Actually forget that, Casanova." I poke him in his stupid hard chest. "I barely even know you and unlike you, he actually wanted to kiss me."
Edward grabs and pulls at his hair in frustration. "He fucking kisses and fucks anything with a pulse."
"Like you do?" I raise an eyebrow daring him to answer.
"Yes. But he's worse, a hell of a lot worse."
"So you mean that I actually have a chance then. Woo fucking hoo."
I turn to leave but he grabs onto my arm again. I swivel round and try to slap him, he catches my hand in his easily and pulls me roughly into him. I can feel his lean body against mine again and the air around me feels static, my whole body tunes in and listens. I can feel every part of him, one part in particular seems to standing out a little more than last time.
"You completely fucking beguile me." He stares into my eyes searching, I'm not sure for what but I feel my cheeks flame at his intensity. "From the moment I met you I wanted you. Fuck. You're actually standing here, mad at me. Because of what? Because I won't take you home and fuck you? Because I really don't need this much persuading."
He lets go of me and stands back but I fall forward with nothing to hold me up. He catches me and pulls me against him.
"Fuck! How much have you had to drink Bella?" Concern evident on his face.
I don't answer him, I hate how he's making me feel like a petulant child. I feel his fingers on my chin as he lifts my face to his.
"You don't even know what I'm capable of."
"Tell me." I say simply.
"I'm a one time offer, kind of guy. So I take what I want and when we are both done, that would be the end of it."
"Couldn't we try and maybe wait for that part?"
"Has anyone told you how tenacious you are? And crazy, you are most definitely crazy." He laughs. "When you're sober and you still want it, let me know. But even though I honestly didn't think I was capable of saying no, you're really drunk and even I have rules."
I sigh and pat him on his chest. I have no idea what he's talking about, I just need to go to sleep.
"Take me home stud." One of his eyebrows shoots up. "Not for that. I mean, take me home so I can sleep." I watch him as he snickers and pulls out his cell.
Thirty minutes later we are outside of the boy's apartment. Jasper and Emmett have given Edward a key and a few threats of violence if he touches me. It's easier if we all stay here and it means that I don't have to go back to ours on my own.
I follow Edward in and stifle a yawn. He shows me to the room he uses if he stays over and the bathroom, then he finds a new toothbrush in the vanity and some tooth paste for me. He tells me to grab one of his tops from the drawers and leaves me to get ready for bed.
Their apartment is nice. Although, you can tell that all guys live here. Edward has his own place but it's quite a distance away on the other side of the city. I brush my teeth and wash my face. I tie my hair up with a handy elastic that I find in my purse and take my clothes off. I slip into one of his tops, that smells just like him. I'm feel slightly less drunk, now I just feel tired.
When I'm finished I peek out of the door and call Edward's name. He comes out from the kitchen.
"Everything okay?"
I nod and smile.
"A coffee would be great though."
I walk round the door and into the kitchen, I sit on one of the stools as I watch him make coffee.
"Are you sleeping with me tonight?" I choose a moment where he's just had a bit of coffee and there is a bit of a spit take. He coughs.
"Well you'll be in my bed, so yeah. Unless you'd rather I sleep on the couch?" I look up at him.
"I'm not that big, I don't take up a whole bed. Aren't you afraid that I might jump you in the middle of the night?"
"Maybe a little." He grins and I smirk.
"As if. You'd be so lucky." I wiggle my eyebrows at him as he rolls his eyes.
I finish my coffee, then hop off the stool and put my cup in the sink right next to him. "Are you coming then?"
"Um, sure. I guess." He follows me into the hall and into the room. I quickly scoot in and under the covers as Edward uses the bathroom, when he's finished he just stands there looking at me. He actually looks stumped. I pull back the covers and tap the mattress.
I grin as he pulls his pants down and removes his socks. He leaves his top and boxers on and crawls into bed.
"You know that Emmett will kill me for this."
"It's ok, I can deal with him. Rose calls him Fluffy Wuffy Bear. That information must have some value."
I yawn and shiver at the same time. I feel his side of the bed move and jostle until I feel the warmth of his body on my back and his arm gently goes over me. I grab it and pull it, snuggling it under my chin. I wiggle back slightly until I can put my feet on his legs.
"Fuck! You're freezing." He comes in closer and I shift and move, trying to get comfy in the foreign bed. He stills as I move against him and I feel his body go rigid.
"Please don't do that. You're already testing the little resolve I have." He groans through clenched teeth and I giggle. But I stop wiggling.
It's not long before I fall asleep enveloped in warm boy and Edward smell.
