When Edward left the room I couldn't wipe the stupid grin off my face. I bit my lip and wondered what he was doing now, if he was thinking about me too…. all the same, I started to feel like a teenager again, not that I had stopped being one a long time ago. I was still months away from my 21 birthday, after next week we would have the spring semester finals and unfortunately for all of us, we would have no time to see each other. Week before the finals was rather stressful for me, I spent my entire day at the library, all I ate was ramen, when I had the chance to eat at all, and would most likely sleep late at night and wake up early in the morning, drooling on my laptop and marked by my glasses frame. It wasn't pretty. I rarely saw the girls or the guys, and by the end of it, when we would finally have our three month summer break, I would sleep for the first and enjoy the other two.
Things were chaotic to say the least.
My phone rang again that day; I didn't have the chance to guess who it was because I rushed to it, thinking it would be Edward, silly me. After grabbing it on the night stand, I answered it a little too excited.
"Hello?" I said, breathlessly.
"Whoa little sister, what's with the rush?" Joshua said on the other side of the line, I felt slightly disappointed, but quickly brushed the feeling off, I wasn't the clingy girl.
"Nothing! Where the hell have you been?" I asked sitting on the bed, back turned to the door.
"Nowhere and everywhere, you know little sis, I got to take advantage of my last days in UCLA, it's not like it happens every time." This was Joshua's last semester at UCLA; he was getting his major in civil engineering and would be back to New York soon, in three weeks all of his assignments would be done. We had a week and some days to finals, another week so he could receive his diploma, and then his prom. I know right, prom? The whole university was invited, something nostalgic the students invented, it would take place at a hotel nearby, I had no idea where.
"So, have you picked out your tux yet?"
"No, not yet, but I'm sure mom will send over something, she will have to be here, so I guess this annuls our visit this weekend, since it's before finals."
I sighed in relief, I had completely forgotten about the visit. "True. I guess I'll have to pick something up to wear at your prom right?" I muffled a laugh.
"Go on, laugh all you want… You'll be envy when you and your lawyers go all prom-less."
"No way, I think I hated high school prom, and another prom for me wouldn't be such a good idea, but I'm sure me and the gang will be more than happy to delay our summer break to attend your prom."
"Well, you better. I don't know how the students got the permission to do it, but it seems that both the faculty and the alumni thought it would be such a good, interesting idea."
"Don't be all sarcastic about this."
"I'm not… Plus, the theme will be something no one ever thought about before." He chuckled.
"What will it be?"
"Old Hollywood. Creative right?"
I started to laugh. "Really, really creative." I said between laughs.
"You have to find a costume, everyone has to find costumes, and it's annoying really."
"You know, with this whole finding costumes thing, I'm already thinking about bailing on you."
"Don't bail on me, besides, it'll be your chance to wear a gown and blow Eddie's mind."
"I don't think any mind blowing will be necessary." Thank God Joshua was talking to me over the phone, because I was blushing furiously. "What are you going as?" I tried to change the subject, knowing I would have to tell him sooner or later.
"I'm going as John Dillinger, even got myself a pistol." I could picture the smile on his face; he would need some serious gel in his hair. "But don't change the subject…. Are you two on the goods now?"
"Yes." I answered defeated. "We're on the goods."
"Good, I thought I would have to hit him otherwise." Joshua was always protective, but he didn't push me to talk about it any longer. "So, think about your costume okay? And dress nicely; I have someone for you to meet."
I sighed. "Another bimbo?"
"No Bella, she's been in engineering school with me, she's no bimbo, no nothing, and I really like her, so you better just behave yourself."
"Ooh, is Joshie whipped?" I teased.
"No I'm not." He answered way too fast.
"Oh. My. God! You're so whipped!" I let out a squeal, finally he would settle. "Tell me something about her?"
"Don't make me do this Bella… Please?" He pleaded, but I wasn't having any of it.
"Just tell me something about her Joshua, I promise I won't spread the word." I bit my tongue before I could say 'just to everyone you know'.
"She's brunette, brown eyes, and the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. She's nice, so… You better let your little sister guard down. Her parents live in New York, and we've been seeing each other since the game night. It was her in my room on the basketball night." Joshua sighed. "She's freaking amazing, you'll love her. I know you will."
I smiled, shifting my position on the bed, putting my feet up and leaning on the headboard. "Well, I don't want to be a bubble burster, but…. How exactly the distance relationship is going to work? You're both seniors, and you're going back to New York…. right?"
"First of all, we're not even dating yet, but there won't be a long distance relationship, she will go to New York as well, her parents are from there and she already has a work guaranteed, just like me. If we're still together on the ceremony, I'll introduce her to mom and dad, vice-versa."
I was truly happy for him, Joshua never talked like this about any girl he dated or hooked up, it was a nice change. I ran my hands through my hair.
"She's different Bella, not like any other girl I've ever seen, I can easily see myself falling for her." His voice was dreamy.
"I'm really glad that everything is working out for you so well Josh. I'm really happy for you."
"And I'm happy for you too little sis, I'm glad you came to your senses."
"Well, Alice sort of pushed me into doing so." I confessed to him, even though I knew I pushed myself into doing this, a noise came from the door and I knew it was the girls, Alice came inside first with a confused look on her face, holding the key between her fingers, and Rosalie was right behind her.
I lifted my forefinger so they would just give me a minute. "Oh well, I have to go now, the girls arrived and we have a lot of talking to do."
"Okay, come by to see me, and not Edward. We will have a blast, another movie night, how about that?" He offered.
"Sure, maybe I can meet the girl before prom. Oh, and before you go anywhere… What's her name?"
"Mila." He answered.
"I like it." I said with a smile on my lips. "I'm looking forward to meet her. Bye Josh."
"Bye little sis." He said and the phone went off, I put it on my night stand and turned my face to see Alice and Rosalie.
"How's the door unlocked?" Alice asked with her brows frowned.
I pointed at the lock and they turned to see my key hanging in there. "You locked us with the spare key, my key was still in the nightstand" I said matter-of-factly.
"Oh well then…" She said a bit disappointed. "He was gone a long time ago, right? You kicked him out, didn't you?" She was facing the floor now, but Rosalie kept her attention in me, and a smile played on her lips.
"No, she didn't." I smiled as well. "How come?"
"I just figured out that if we didn't talk today, we might never do, I would always have some excuse to ditch him, and I don't want to, not anymore." I mirrored Rosalie's smile, just as Alice did as well, they came join me in the bed.
"So, are you two an item now?" Rosalie asked.
I bit my bottom lip. "I don't know…. I mean, we didn't exactly talk about it, and right now, we just want to keep this between us, I don't want the whole campus to know, neither Jessica, nor Lauren."
"I understand you, I'm glad you decided to tell us though, we would be pissed if you didn't."
"Rose, just tell Emmett to keep his mouth shut ok? I'm sure Edward is telling him now, and tomorrow… I don't know how tomorrow will work."
"Tomorrow will be fine." Alice spoke up. "We will have breakfast together as usual; we will lunch together as usual, and not as usual, have a date with someone who is not our boyfriends." She shot an accusing look at me.
"Well, we will just have to do it. It's one night, they'll have to deliver us by midnight and then you can just see your boyfriends."
"Don't forget…" Rosalie started. "That our boyfriends will probably go out with someone who isn't us."
"And what do you suggest?" I raised my eyebrows at both of them, crossing my arms in front of my chest. "Carwash on Saturday?" They smiled brightly. "Oh, no. No freaking way! I already talked to the Coach and we will have the auction, besides, there's no problem right? Cheerleaders cannot bid on football players, rules are there to be respected." I would have put my foot down, but that wasn't possible at the moment.
"Fine, fine. Midnight and whatever. We could yet have the carwash you know? I'm sure nobody would see any harm in raising more money. We could do it on the marina and it would be fucking awesome!"
"Thank you but no thank you."
"Okay, okay, fine!" Alice said disappointed. "So what were you and Josh talking about?"
"Well, he was inviting us to his prom."
They both frowned. "Prom?" Rosalie asked.
"Yeah, apparently engineering students are nostalgic, so they're having a prom themed 'Old Hollywood' so we have to get dressed up."
They eyes were pure glow while I felt like I was telling them about someone who died, they just thought of that as an opportunity to dress up, and play Barbie Bella with me.
"When will it be?" Alice asked.
"Umm… The second week of June I guess. The first week will be the diploma stuff and the second the Prom, he wants all of us there, after this we can enjoy our summer like we want to."
"Oh it'll be fun!" She clapped her hands together. "Besides, I guess that we'll go to my parents' beach house at least for a week this summer."
"How come your parent's always let you alone in that house with Jasper?" That got me fairly intrigued; my father didn't even know the boys always came with us.
"Daddy thinks I'm a virgin, and that Jasper is a gentleman." Alice said, wearing a huge grin on her pixie face.
"You little bastard! Carlisle is so much in denial." Rosalie smacked Alice in the back of the head.
"Ouch, what was that for whore?"
"For being lucky, momma laughs at me whenever I say I'm a virgin." I had to laugh when Rosalie said that, Alice cracked up big time as well.
I finally got a hold of myself and wiped out the tears that escaped. "Yeah Rose, because she knows you're dating with Emmett, who humped your bones the first time he saw you, and she knows her pretty little toddler is and was never a saint, actually, very far from that." I patted Rose on the back.
"You know that you two aren't very far from me you know?" She looked forth and back between me and Alice. "You," She pointed at Alice. "Little Miss 'my dad thinks I'm a virgin but I am a fire in the sack' and you" She pointed at me. "Dearly 'I'm just humping my non-boyfriend bones'" She flipped her hair from her shoulder. "I'm done with this conversation; you are clearly not far from me in the saint scale. If you excuse me, I'm going to take a bath."
"Yeah, me too." Alice said as she and Rose flopped from the bed and started to gather their things to go to the bathroom.
"Uh, guys?" They both turned to look at me. "I was sort of expecting that you would help me in bath? I mean, it's not like I can wet this." I pointed to the bandage involving my foot.
"Oh Bella, stop being silly, of course you can. You don't even have to put it back on, there's an ankle support in the first drawer of your nightstand, and you just need to put it. I think that just another Tylenol for pain and tomorrow you may even put your foot down." I really wished she would have given me the information earlier that would made my life a whole lot easier than it has been for the past hours.
"You're fucking kidding me right?" She shook her head no. "I've wanted to take a bath since I woke up and I couldn't because I had no help with this thing whatsoever." I was getting a little too frustrated right now.
I moved myself from my previous position in bed, so my feet were touching the floor now, I brought my ankle to rest on my knee and started to undo the bandage, it was a freeing feeling, like my blood could finally circulate through my foot's veins again, it tingled a little once I put it out, but I grew accustomed to have a bandage free foot. The girls had already grabbed my toiletries, and I was left to grab my ankle supporter and clothes. I chose for the night my long Jane pajamas, with pink and red stripes. Why my wardrobe was so stuffed with Victoria's Secret stuff? Well, Alice sort of addicted me into it; it was my very guilty pleasure.
"Can we go now?" Rosalie hurried me, and I just stuffed the things in my hands and began to hop in their direction.
"You know, me walking, would me quite easier if the school just had wheel chairs." I blurted out. Rose rolled her eyes, Alice giggled.
I would have to hop because our hands were filled with clothes and shit, I sucked in a large amount of breath and began hoping, not many girls resided in the hallway to laugh at my attempt of being less than pathetic while hoping around.
It's my very pleasure to say that I made it to the bathroom. Just leaned on the sink to regain my posture and put my things on the little bench in front of the showers we had picked for the day, I started to strip of my clothes right away, just as Alice and Rosalie did so too. Each of us entered in a little divided box. The division between showers it was laughable, barely covered our tits or our asses.
I was immediately relaxed when the warm water hit my sore muscles from my back, my legs and my feet. I never realized that I was extremely tired until now. I felt like I was going to fall asleep right then and there, but I held myself up. The smell of strawberries filled the air just as I was shampooing my hair, I felt dirty to say the least, I rubbed myself until the very moment, and turned off the water. My body instantly ached for more.
This whole day has been a fucking roller-coaster of emotions, all this before the clock even hit ten pm, I promised myself not to dribble on my thoughts of what I was to Edward now, it was bright clear that we were together, just not bright clear that we were exclusive. I didn't know if Edward could change his ways around me, or even if he was willing to. There was nothing to change about me, I was changed already. I could feel it when my heart swelled this afternoon, how my breath got caught up in my throat just by his caresses, his gentle touches, and his not so gentle ones. I would be with him if he wanted me to. I just hoped he did.
That night I tried to catch up on some work that has been left for me to do, but the sleep got to me earlier than I imagined. Just right after I popped a Tylenol pill down my throat, my head was beginning to speed up, and making the whole world turn, I was getting dizzy maybe due to the fact that I didn't do much eating all day, I have the vague memory of Alice shaking my shoulder and tried to put me somehow in bed, and Rosalie tucking me under the covers, they both said good night to me, I think I replied to them, I have no idea, then my phone vibrated but it went to voice mail, neither of them both touched it. I was asleep right after that, drowning into my dreamless sleep.
[EPOV]
I woke up the next morning feeling fucking fantastic and light headed, I would see Bella for a short period of time this morning, but I would see her, that's all that mattered. After hitting the showers, still a little worried about why she hadn't called me back, I slipped myself into jeans and white polo shirt, white clothing was beginning to be needed in the course and I wouldn't have it any other way. Like all days, I didn't do much with my hair other than passing my hands through it. Right after tying my shoes, I went to check if Jasper was up and running already.
"C'mon Jasper, we have to go." I hurried him, whining.
"Fuck off Edward! They're not running anywhere you know?" He lifted his eyebrow at me, and I sunk back into my bed, waiting for him to get damn ready already. "I know you're all fucking bubbly and excited about seeing Bella today but you have to lay the fuck off, you're the one who's seeing her, not all of us."
Alright, he was right. Maybe I was getting a little too excited, but I wanted to hurry, I wanted to see her, I needed to touch her and be sure that yesterday hadn't been a dream. I know I'm starting to sound like a whining chick, but isn't this how it's supposed to be? The glory of the first love? With the temptations and everything? I'm fucking whipped I give you that, and I don't intend to un-whip myself anytime near.
Falling into my own daydream, I was rather startled when Emmett barged in through the door.
"Awe! My two pussy-whipped best friends!" The smile was bright on his face, if I didn't know him, I'd say he had something on his mind… but this is Emmett we're talking about, and he hardly ever has something on his mind. I'm kidding.
"Say that to yourself." Jasper said while dressing his shirt and finally getting ready to go.
"What?" Emmet faked an innocent look on his face. "I'm pussy-whipped alright; at least I get some, every damn night."
"Oh you did not just do that." Jasper had a threatening tone on his voice, and began to walk towards Emmett, hitting him in the back of the head.
"What the fuck was that for?" He said rubbing his head where he'd been hit.
"Do you have a pea size brain?" Jasper pinched his nose bridge. "Don't fucking talk about her like that Emmett, Rosalie is my fucking sister! For me she is forever a virgin, and I surely don't want to hear about what you do to her or how. Please, just save me from the mental images."
Seeing Jasper snap like that made me hold back a chuckle. He turned away from Emmett and went to grab something on his wardrobe; Emmett turned to me and mouthed: "Every Fucking Day." I rolled my eyes.
"You're just disgusting Em." I got up from my bed and grabbed my car keys. "Well, Jasper if you're going to play dress for my sister all damn day, I'm not sitting here. I'm going chicas, so you can help yourself and get a ride with Emmett."
I put my walled in by back pocket and picked up my heavy books from the nightstand.
"Ciao." I waved at them and before Jasper could protest, I was completely out the door.
***
I parked in front of the Kerckhoff Hall in the Central part of the campus where we agreed to meet for breakfast, not long enough, Emmett's big jeep parked on my side, Jasper had an annoying look on his face and I chuckled just imagining the kind of conversation Emmett had Jasper engaged in. It was a wonderful thing that we all were best friends; otherwise I think that Emmett would be long gone. I got out of my shining, silver Volvo and locked it when I started making my way into the Hall.
"I don't know why we even came here." Emmett said when he and Jasper finally caught up to me. "There's too many stairs, I'm going to be lightheaded once we finally get to the second floor."
"Emmett, you are lightheaded already." I commented, earning a laugh from Jasper.
"You know Eddie, you are very funny. I bet that's just what Bella likes in you."
We stopped on our tracks by a honk and break sound; we turned around to see who it was. Alice hopped off the driver's seat of Rosalie's car, followed by a not so happy Rosalie; they both went to the other side to help Bella get out of the car. I could be ogling at her, or fucking her with my eyes, either way, she looked the most beautiful woman I've had ever seen. She wore an off the shoulder midnight blue sweater and ripped jeans, flats on her feet and an ankle supporter. Wait… where did the bandages go?
"Dude, you're so whipped." Emmett tapped my shoulder while whispering.
I tucked my hands inside my jeans to resist the urge to touch her, I knew she didn't want us to go public just yet, and I would respect her decision, I just didn't know how I would stop myself from kissing her in public when I was obviously allowed to kiss her.
She came limping and holding on both of the girls shoulders. Emmett shooed them off.
"I'll take it from here." Bella hadn't looked at me just yet, but she unwillingly released the girls to be swept off her feet by Emmett, a yelp came from her and she started to laugh, this was music to my ears.
And then our eyes met, we didn't say anything, I kept walking behind Emmett, looking carefully at her, she looked like she was studying my expression, and then, a smile played on her lips, a smile meant for me, and I knew she hadn't backed away, we were still at the same spot we left yesterday, it would just be as hard for her to not touch me as would it be for me. Maybe we could sneak off, or I could steal a kiss or two when nobody was watching. I passed my hand through my hair as my mind played all the possibilities to me. I should be the one carrying her not Emmett, the hint of jealousy quickly swept off when I remembered that she was mine, and I would claim her like the caveman I was… just not in public. Not yet.
"Put me down you big oaf!" Bella squirmed in his arms, and Emmett just laughed.
"C'mon Bells, I'm just helping you here." He held on her tighter, which made her laugh even more. "This of me as your personal wheel chair, I know you'd rather be in Eddie's arms, but the non-public thing with you guys made you get stuck with me."
Bella bit her plump lips and her cheeks started to get rosy. Her eyes turned to me and she mouthed "Sorry." I bit back a laugh and mouthed: "No problem." Back. Emmett had a really good way with words.
"Well, I expect you not to gossip around like the old lady you are." Bella spat back. Her brow raised and before we knew, we were finally on the second floor. "I think I can limp my way to the seat, thank you very much."
Emmett put her on the ground and she adjusted her clothes, passing her hand through her hair. Bella just glared at him.
"Where's my brother anyways?" She looked at each of us, with a questioning look on her face.
"Your brother is nowhere to be seen, I think he's out with that chick again… What's her name…? Um…"
"Mila, Em, her name is Mila." She looked at me once more, I fought my very body not to wrap my arms around her and sink myself in her smell again.
"Yeah, Mila… he said something about spending the morning with her, whatsoever. Oh, he said for you to call him if you needed anything."
Bella nodded and started to walk towards the nearest table. I couldn't hold back the need to touch her, so I wrapped my arm around her waist and her arm was around my neck for support.
"Thank you." She whispered to me, her big brown eyes melting in my own. How in the world could she do that to me? I was a puppy on a leash around her.
I wanted to nuzzle my head in the crook of her neck and really embrace her, but I just nodded instead and whispered back. "I missed you."
Another smile made her lips wide. "I missed you too."
"You have no idea how much I have to hold myself back and not kiss you right here and now."
She pouted. Why did she have to make everything so damn difficult? "You have no idea how I'm holding myself back." Bella replied and I'm pretty sure a growl came from my chest, she chuckled.
I sat her on a chair and sat myself on one right next to hers, our hands were very intertwined below the table, and no one could see. My fingers traced lazy patterns on the palm of her hand; I could see her eyelids threatening to give away.
"Wake up Bells." Jasper snapped his fingers in front of her, making her shake her head and rub her eyes with her free hands.
"You didn't sleep well?" I asked her turning my head to look in her eyes. Now that she had stopped she was really looking tired.
"I did, I just don't know why I feel so damn dizzy." She released her hand from my touches and buried her face into her both hands, her stomach grumbled, giving away what she needed.
"You didn't eat yesterday, did you?" I asked softly. She shook her head no, still not lifting up her face. I got up and went to the nearest waitress, ordering a pancakes and some juice for Bella and a bagel for myself.
When I sat back on the table, everyone was looking at me, except for Bella who was trying to take the dizziness away. "What?"
"They are so cute Jazzy." Alice was the first one to speak up, making me blush.
"Why don't you do sweet things to like that you ogre?" Rosalie slapped Emmett on the chest, crossing her arms in front of her.
"Way to go Eddie put us on their black list."
The waitress soon arrived with my orders I thanked her, she gave me one exaggerated smile and went back to her duties.
Bella lifted up her face from her hands and gave me a small smile. "Eat." I demanded pushing the plate in front of her. She grabbed a fork and started to dive in… I'm just kidding; she ate slowly, savoring each piece of pancake in her mouth. Damn lucky pancakes. She bit her bottom lip, and I really thought she was going to kill me with this teasing, I'm pretty sure my eyes were dark with lust, and little Eddie was about to react.
My friends slowly got me attached into the talk so I wouldn't just throw Bella on my shoulders and take her in the car. The physical distance between us was killing me.
"So, are you all excited about tonight?" Bella asked after taking a sip of her juice.
"Not at all, and I think myself and Alice were very clear about that." Rosalie stated throwing an annoying look at Bella. "We totally prefer the carwash."
"Wait, what?" Emmett jumped on his seat as the word 'carwash' flew out of Rose's mouth. "Car-fucking-wash?" He smiled, possibly imagining a whole lot of different scenarios. "I say carwash."
"I say carwash too." Jasper lifted his hand up high.
Before I could say anything, Bella looked at me. "Not going to happen." A devilish smile played on her lips as she put in another bite of pancake in her mouth.
"Bella!" Emmett whined. "You're only supposed to be a cock-blocker girlfriend from the first month on."
She blushed at Emmett's words, we didn't talk about the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing, but we would have to, soon.
"No carwash! Live with it! We're having the auction tonight and we will all go on dates with strangers."
I moved my chair near to hers and leaned so I could whisper on her ear. "If Mike Newton takes you on a date, so help me god but I'll murder him." Her body trembled and I'm pretty sure there were tracks of goose bumps on her skin.
"I wouldn't want to be involved in a murder, would I? Let's just cross our fingers so someone richer than Mike bids on me. Every hour will be a torture. I promise." She gave me a peck on the cheek, which was better than nothing.
"This woman will be the fucking death of you my friend." Jasper said while he and Emmett patted my shoulder. The girls giggled.
"I'm not that bad." Bella put an innocent look on her face, suited her quite well. "Anyway, unfortunately you guys will have no idea what will hit you tonight."
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
The most devious smile played on her lips. "Nothing, just be sure to bring something to lean on, otherwise, you'll fall on your back."
"You girls have no idea what we have prepared for you." Emmett joined the game, I was still confused.
"What do we have for them?" Jasper had his brows frowned as well, I wasn't liking Emmett's line of thought.
"Shut up Edward, you'll both know this afternoon, after classes, meet me on the dorms, we'll take it from there. Make sure to warn the whole team that there won't be a practice today."
"No?" I started; Emmett was seriously losing his fucking mind. "Em, you do realize we have a big game in two days right?"
"Stop being the annoying captain Eddie, a day without practice won't make us loose, we need it anyways, coach has be on our asses ever since the homecoming game." Emmett waved me off, and I sunk in my chair. I didn't like this.
"What about you girls? Any practice for today?"
"Cheerleader practice Edward. We've been practicing our thing for today since three days ago." Alice started.
"Too bad you guys won't be there; we have to practice on the field today." Bella licked her lips and bit them, making me want to take the matters in my own hands… or lips.
I rubbed my face. "Fuck that. I'll just stroll down the catwalk like a fucking model. There will be practice today." All the girls started to laugh.
"No fucking way, c'mon Eddie. Just one day, you can ogle Bella for the rest of the year and more." I looked at Bella and the pink tone flushed her cheeks again. Emmett sometimes could be very invasive, but it was just his way of dealing with things, so we just let him be.
"You're done with your food?" I looked at Bella and she nodded. I got up; put some bills on the table. "I'm sorry guys, but Bella is begging for me to take her to class." I had the sudden need to be alone with her, to touch my reassurances on her skin, to kiss her and feel that she was mine, completely and entirely mine.
The girls giggled, I guess that already foreseeing why I was ditching them and taking Bella along with me. Bella on the other hand, gave me a funny look.
"I did?" Her words were innocent, but I knew that in the back of her mind, our needs were the same; I think that just by looking at my eyes, something in her head clicked. "Oh right I did." She let out a muffled giggle.
"Do I need to carry you?" I asked as she was getting up, losing her balance for a moment before I caught her. "Yeah, I need to carry you."
"No, you don't." She said while her arms were still around my neck, damn, the closeness was killing me; I was seriously holding myself back so I wouldn't just attack her delicious lips right then and there.
Her arms released from the security of my neck as she stood up, fixing her sweater and tugging her jeans up, once she was done, and she walked in front of me. Yeah, she fucking walked, didn't limp or anything, but I could hear a wince every now and then, so her foot must still be hurting.
Once we finally caught up to the safety of my car, my hands were intertwined with hers, and my lips were on her lips and then on her neck, eliciting moans as they descended to her exposed collarbone. Her breath got hitched on her throat and I love how she easily was incoherent around me and the most, I was the only one who would make her feel that way.
She pushed me away, leaving me in a quite confused state. Had I interpreted erroneously her moans?
"You know, this is not the safest, or the best place to do this in." She started, still a little bit breathless. "I still have an hour or so until my first class starts, and you do too. The girls are away, and we have my dorm all for us." Even her voice was tempting me, my pants were growing tighter by the minute, even if I didn't expect us to go there just yet, making out like hormonal teenagers was completely fine with me.
She didn't need to say anything else, or to boss me around. I hit my foot on the gas pedal and we were off through the campus streets, making our way into her dorm room in no time, after parking my car in Alice's spot, right next to Bella's.
Before I knew it my mouth was hovering hers again, I locked the door behind me and turned us so she was with her back on the door. My hands easily travelled south to her thighs, the kiss was so urgent and I knew that we were both having this urgency to be with each other now, but I couldn't let us take it too far, we had just put our feelings on the table yesterday, I didn't want to push her, or to ruin anything that we had here. I detached my lips from her and she frowned adorably. I rested my forehead on hers.
"I missed you." She smiled at my words lifting her hand wrapped around the back of my neck pulling me in for another kiss.
Our lips moved in such synchrony, soon enough she parted her lips and I allowed my tongue in, just wanting desperately to taste her, and her taste was probably the best in the world, I know that I don't need to taste any other, Bella left me intoxicated just by her presence, and I had to hold myself to not forget breathing around her, I love you should be the most three simple words to say right? They were showing to be fairly hard, I didn't want to scare her away, I would just have to say it to her in another words, let her know that the promise was there, I just couldn't say it out loud yet, I had to wait for her to feel that way back at me.
Our kisses always lasted long enough for me to get that tingling in the tummy sensation, but short enough to leave me wanting more.
"I missed you too." She said as we parted. "The not touching thing? It's showing itself to be a hard thing to do." Bella looked down, as if she was admitting something to be ashamed of.
I tucked my fingers under her chin and lifted her head up so she would look at me. "It's a very hard thing to do, you have no idea, I was this close to just take you to the bathroom and kiss you."
She laughed and my heart was at ease.
"The bathroom? That's just classy." I rolled my eyes and stole a peck of her lips. "Apparently we still have forty minutes to kill. What do you suggest?"
Bella looked at me from down her lashes, so seductively, if I kiss her again right now, I wouldn't probably stop myself and she wouldn't stop me, but I wouldn't want her to regret anything she did, but she was so fucking tempting, and her plump lips called out to me, she was desirable in every fucking way, and she didn't help me a thing by saying those innuendos. My pants that were already very tight grew tighter, but I managed to recompose myself and think as straightly as possible.
I leaned and give her a small kiss on the lips and pulled back before she could pull me more to her.
"What? No more kisses to Bella?" She pouted. I grabbed her hand and led her towards the bed, sitting her in there and sitting myself next to her, playing with her fingers.
"You know Bella is just being a mean girl." I laughed, stroking her cheek with my other hand; she melted into it, sighing deeply. "I don't want to push you into anything, I don't want you to regret." I admitted. "We just started this new thing, this… us, and I don't want to ruin it for sex… and if we just keep like this-"
"Baby steps will be damned to hell." She finished for me, turning her head and kissing the palm of my hand. "I understand, and I'm sorry for the way I was behaving." Her bottom lip was sucked between her teeth and she sucked into it. I passed my thumb along it to release it from the confines of her teeth.
"You don't need to be sorry for that. I was quite enjoying the way you were behaving, it's me, I'm out of control, and I've wanted you for so damn long that I don't exactly know how to act around you…" I pinched the bridge of my nose. "You don't know how much you mean to me Bella, I don't want to screw this up… you're different, and now that you're mine, I just don't want to give you back to the world."
"Oh, I'm yours huh?" Bella tried to lighten the mood up a little bit. "I completely understand what you're saying; I don't want to lose you too." She took the hand that was pinching my nose and started to play with my fingers. "It's not easy for me to say anything like this, I don't know how to open up, but the effect you have on me…" She sighed. "I don't know how to explain, other than steal your own words and say that you mean a lot to me as well." Bella gave me the most fucking sexy side smile ever and her words held a great meaning to me, more than she could ever imagine.
[BPOV]
I was speechless to say the least, seeing Edward like that was so… raw.
Surely he had showed me emotions before, but nothing like this, Edward Cullen was rarely this… I don't know how to describe other then it astounded me.
"Thank you." He spoke up first after five minutes of silence, of just staring into each other's eyes and try to read our souls out.
"For what?"
"For being honest, for accepting me and for being just who you are." I blushed slightly at his words. This was really an unique moment, one of the many things I didn't wish to share Edward around, but I knew we couldn't just keep our relationship in obscurity, it would kill me if a girl hit on him in front of me and I couldn't just be jealous in front of the whole university. I know I'm playing silly circumstances in my head, but I don't see myself with anyone else now. I was falling in love with him for a long, long time… I was just in too much denial to see it.
"You don't need to thank me." I bit my bottom lip again. "Of course I would fall into your charms one way or another. I just pushed myself into it, and I thank you for not giving up on me."
"How on earth would I give up from the girl who occupied my mind twenty-four hours a day? Every fucking day?" He laughed and I giggled.
"Then it's great, because I couldn't get you out of my mind either." I whispered before leaning forward to capture his lips. I really didn't know how to be away from him anymore, to not touch him or just to… it was frustrating, I've never felt this way about anyone, this intense, it was scary, but a good kind of scary.
My crooked smile played on his lips as we parted from our kiss just to catch our breaths before leaning in and capturing my lips again.
My mouth parted in the same instant and he dove his tongue into my mouth, the feeling of his tongue upon mine, caressing mine was something unimaginable, my tongue explored every part of his mouth, getting intoxicated by his breath, trying to make a living memory of his taste, it was like we were saying what we could not say with words, because words weren't enough. That's what I like about Edward, we didn't mind to feel, when we were around each other, just feel what words could not say.
His hands cupped my cheeks and then slid down my back, pressing me to his chest. I knew we were losing control, but it was almost impossible to stop, not just due to the fact that I was fairly lightheaded, but also the fact that any kind of distance from his body, my own body refused to have, but we had to pull away eventually for air. He brushed a piece of hair that had fallen on my face and gave me a quick peck on the lips.
"Maybe we should get you to class." His eyes were distant.
"Maybe we should. You need to go." I cupped his cheek so he would look into mine. "I don't know if it's somewhat safe for us to get out of here, and I should just take my car to class, so you won't have to pick me up."
He pouted and kissed me again. "You know that I wouldn't mind to pick you up right? Even more today, that we have so little time to ourselves."
"Don't worry about today Edward." I smiled. "We'll meet at lunch here, or at your dorm and we'll see each other, talk and kiss some more." Now he was smiling as well.
"I like this idea." He murmured against my lips.
"Not this afternoon thought, this afternoon I need to practice and apparently, you need to do some practicing of your own." I laughed just imagining what Emmett was up to today.
"I swear I'll kill Emmett, he's the greatest buzz killer." His fingertips travelled lazily up and down my covered arm.
"And I don't want to be a buzz killer but I really have to go to class." Classes would be damned to hell today. "I don't want to… but I have to, since I missed classes yesterday." My lips curved into a smile as I remembered of yesterday.
"You know that I'll never forget yesterday, don't you?" He smiled. "But let's go, the sooner we get to class, the sooner we will see each other again." He got up from bed and extended a hand to me, which I gladly accepted. "By the way, how come you're already walking so fine?"
I smiled at him, while he wrapped his arms on my waist. "I'm not, but I have to try to, otherwise there will be no nothing today and Alice is really counting on me."
"Well, you might just be careful, because you're killing me with this whole suspense, killing me!"
"Killing you huh?" I passed my hands through his hair, leaving it rather disrelished, more than it was before. "Then it's a good thing you're not going to go all caveman on me and take me out of the stage if Mike Newton is the highest bidder right?"
He sighed deeply. "I can't promise you that, you're just making fun of me because neither Lauren nor Jessica can bid on me. With the whole football can't bid on cheerleaders, vice-versa thing you made up…"
"They will bid on you next year thought, if we do this again."
"Yeah? Why?"
"I'm kicking them out of the squad, not exactly me kicking, more like the university kicking." He frowned. "They don't have the most excellent grades, and it's a rule of the cheerleading squad, the girls need to have at least a 3.8 GPA, otherwise they can't be on the squad."
"Then how they got into the squad on the first place?"
"Last semester they had a quite fine GPA, they studied really hard to get into the squad, but lately they've been lacking, and I have a few theories for that." I smiled.
"Theories?" He asked and the kissed my forehead. "Which possible theories my hot girlfriend could be having?"
Okay, what did he call me now? His girlfriend? My insides were jumping up and down with bliss. I'm pretty sure it slipped out of his mind, but I could slip something out of my mind as well.
"Well, my first theory is that they can't concentrate on two things at a time, either they study or either they cheer, they're lacking balance."
He breathed into my hair, still not looking at my eyes after the 'girlfriend' thing. "And what would be the second one?" Edward's voice was muffled.
I leaned my head back so I would look at him. He leaned his head down and looked at me.
"Well, you are my second theory. Since my boyfriend had been starting to sleep around like the horniest teenager in town, they started to fail as well." I bit back a smile and winked at him. "But I really don't know which one fits better."
"I put my stakes on the first option, it's all cheerleading fault." Blush flushed his cheek giving him an adorable look.
"And now, I really think I should be very afraid of giving them the warning."
"Why's that?"
"Because, well…" I sighed and put my arms around his neck, starting to massage his scalp. "First, I steal you away from them…" I stood on my left, good foot tiptoe, and gave him a peck on the lips. "And second, I take away their cheerleaders position. They'll murder me, and I won't have anyone to protect me." I faked a pout.
His arms that were around my waist tightened more as he lifted me up from the ground, neither of my feet were touching the ground and I was at his same level.
"I know just the person to protect you." He murmured our lips were together, but we were not kissing.
"Yeah? And who is that? I'm dying to know." I said against his lips.
"Your boyfriend." He sealed our talk with a kiss.
***
After this morning the rest of my day was just blissful. My classes went by rather fast, maybe because we didn't have much to do anyways other than study to finals, and get good grades. We got to talk more about our situation and he assured me he didn't want anyone else but me, so the boyfriend/girlfriend thing was on. Or like Rosalie would say: "We were an item."
During lunch break we got to his dorm and while the gang actually had lunch we grabbed a bite and made out just like the hormonal teenagers we were. He didn't realize that he had an enormous effect on me as well, I was aroused just by the time he walked in the door, I was practically begging for him to just fuck me senseless, take me right then and there, show me why he had so many girls running after him. I know that this was just pathetic of me, but we would have to take that step sooner or later, I just really hoped that it would be sooner; otherwise I would enter in a serious combustion.
After lunch I was already accustomed to the idea of not seeing him for the rest of the day, we said our good bye's to each other and kissed until our breath was no longer existent.
"You know this part, when we say good bye?" I said against his lips, my back pressed on the door, my left hand on the knob while my right one was tugging the hair on the back of his neck, pulling him to me once more.
"Yeah." He whispered against my lips, between kisses.
"It's getting harder." I finally managed to say when we pulled apart, my head leaned on the door, and my hand left the back of his head and my fingertips traced his eyebrows, then the hard line of his jaw. We spent a few minutes like that, looking at each other's eyes, brown meeting green.
A few more words were said, and then I said good bye for real, leaving him behind, to another hour of classes.
The second part didn't go by as quickly as I thought, but soon enough I was at cheerleader practice. We didn't do much besides going over some cheers and remember everyone to pick up their costume at the store, who forgot would have to deal with Alice's wrath, and that was something not good to deal with. I just really wanted today to be over with, the big game was Sunday night, and then we would have the annual bonfire for the wrap of the Blue and Gold week.
"Bella, stop being annoying, you just saw the guy." Rosalie pointed out as we were walking to the store to pick up our costumes.
"Well, I'm starting to think that this auction thing was not the greatest idea I had." Now that I had thought over the whole thing, I didn't want Edward having a date with some other girl, not when not even we had a date yet, a real date.
"Thank you! But you've come to your senses a little too late." The bell rang when we walked inside the store. "We're doing this, we're going to hate every minute of it, and it's going to be your entire damn fault."
Alice just nodded along with Rosalie's words.
We picked out our two costumes which didn't leave much to the imagination… so much for my reputation. Thanks Alice. We needed to pass by the warehouse where the auction was being held. The place was completely perfect, we had set a runway style stage, with lower and higher points, the back of it was blue and gold, the lighting was just as cabaret as we had imagined. Everything was just the way we imagined, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
When we got there, the round tables were being settled in, there were chairs around the stage as well, as a stripper's pole and a ballet bar… wait. Stripper's pole?
"Rosalie?" I glared at my friend, she was the one in charge with the space design, and this could only be her fault.
"Just stop it Bella, nobody will be harmed by this." She laughed.
"So, here's the thing, we have to call on all cheerleaders here, to have the sound system checked and see if both the guys and the girls grabbed their costumes."
"Alright." I said grabbing my phone just as both girls did the same. We called on all of the squad, and we needed to do this fast because we would have to get to the dorms and have hair and makeup done, since the cheerleaders would be auctioned only after the football game, the front chairs were 'reserved' to us. Not that all the guys would enjoy the football team performance, but some of them would.
In no time they were all at the warehouse saying that all the flyers were given to the students, we expected the house to be crowded. We went over the basics and did our choreography, everything was ready for tonight.
We put our clothes on the back of the stage, behind the curtains and went back to each of our dorms, saying that we could be back in no longer than an hour. The auction was set to start in an hour and a half. Me, Rosalie and Alice took off on our way.
***
We had just put on our jeans and shirts, Alice had curled my hair ends but let the curls hanging on my back, pulling the top of my hair back on a half-up, half-down ponytail. Rosalie was simply flowing free on her back and Alice made some magic to make her hair look longer. We already had our fishnet stockings on, and our black high heeled boots. I just had no idea how I would dance without falling flat on my face.
I zipped up my hoodie, and they followed me out of the dorm room, into the parking lot, not long after Jessica and Lauren followed us. We were all looking the same with black eyeliner and glossy kissable lips. I linked my arm with the girls and we went to Rosalie's car just babbling and laughing.
"The boys will be seriously knocked down." Alice laughed trying to speak louder than the music playing on the background as my phone rang; I picked it up without looking at the caller.
"Hello?" I almost yelled into the phone.
"W… with, yell, for?" That was everything I could hear,
"What?" I yelled again, putting my hand over my left ear so I could hear something.
"What's with the yelling for?" My heart swelled, it was Edward.
"Hang on." I took the phone off my ear. "Alice could you turn the volume down please?"
She looked at me after turning the volume down. "Hi Eddie!" She screamed.
"There, much better." I said to him once I placed the phone on my ear again.
"Much, much better." He agreed.
Hearing his voice just made me increase another notch of happiness.
"Not that I don't enjoy talking to you but, what is this phone call for?"
"Well, Emmett and Jasper were wondering when you guys were arriving, and I just wanted to talk to you." I could hear Jasper and Emmett booming behind him, making fun of his face.
"You can tell them that we will be there in just five minutes, maybe less. What am I going to do with you tonight huh?" I teased.
"Maybe we could find a place and sneak out because I really don't want to give you away to any fucker today."
"Will that be in any way possible?"
"Not really, you're not here but the place is already packed. Thank God no there's sunshine entrance, because that would probably be a problem for the lightings, Rose made a really good work." I would tell that to Rosalie later, bragging was all that she was about.
"Packed huh? Maybe we could sneak out any way." I bit my lips as I heard his chuckle.
"I never took you for an exhibitionist."
"There are many things about me you don't know yet Edward Cullen." A devilish grin played on my lips. Rose and Alice seemed too entertained in their own conversation to hear the insinuations I was giving Edward.
"And when do I get to find them out?"
"Just stick around and see."
"Well, moving on to another subject that won't make me want to jump on you and send baby steps to hell when you arrive…. Why do you have a stripper's pole set on the stage?"
"That was completely Rosalie's idea; I don't have a clue of what she wants to do in it."
"Bella, say goodbye to Eddie, we're almost arriving." Alice commanded.
"Well, I have to go now, but I'll see you in a bit ok?"
"Okay baby, I'll just be looking for places so we can sneak out." I nodded and snapped my phone shut. Not long after, Rosalie parked in front of the already jam-packed parking lot.
"It's going to be a night to remember everyone!" Alice squealed and hopped out of the front seat so I could get out as well.
My foot showed itself to be a good responder to pain medication, it wasn't hurting, it stung here and there but it was tolerable, I just didn't want to break it in this heel Alice forced me in, here and there I received Rosalie's sympathy's looks and just smiled at her, reassuring her that my foot was not hurting and I was just fine.
We met the boys inside, once again, I couldn't jump on Edward's arms like I wanted to, he tucked his hands inside his pants' pockets, wow, basketball pants, the ones that you rip it off you know? What was Emmett up to? They three were using zipped up shirts and these damn pants, I just wanted to rip them off Edward's body with my teeth, he was looking so damn yummy right now, I felt the familiar heat between my legs.
I smiled at him when we approached them, Emmett was always loud as usual, Jasper was in a particular hyper mood today, and Edward was just looking at me, undressing me with his eyes probably. Damn you the lack of good sneak out places.
After ten minutes of talking with them, Garrett finally appeared on the stage, holding a microphone and dressed in a tuxedo, I laughed, they guys kissed the girls good bye and all three of them kissed me on the cheek, maybe Edward lingered the kiss for a while but that was all fine with me. "You look very hot today; I wonder what those leather boots are for." Damn for the man whispering in my ear with his husky voice, the simple heat between my legs gained an additional throb, and I fought myself for not taking him right then and there, instead, I just bit my lip and took my seat in a table right in front of the stage along with Rosalie and Alice, the other cheerleaders grabbed their seats as well.
Joshua passed by my table to give me a hug and a kiss on the forehead, he sat Mila with us.
"Take care of her Bells, she's important." Then he gave her a kiss and went to the back of the curtains.
"I'm sorry for my brother; he can be just himself sometimes." I smiled at her; she gave me a smile back.
"Well, I really don't mind, however I wasn't expecting to meet you today, I'm sorry." She apologized.
Mila was a beautiful girl, tanned skin, the big brown eyes and hair, but I could see that she was just my kind of girl and we could be very good friends if Josh allowed so.
"So, where have you been hiding Mila?" Rosalie asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Well baby girl, you're a catch. Joshua never introduced anyone to Bella, not like this anyway, and you are just beautiful without that skanky tone that the other girls Joshua fucked had."
"Thank you?" I could tell that she was getting uncomfortable, that was just why Rosalie and Emmett went together, they were very much alike in the saying without thinking.
"I'm sorry about Rosalie's manner Mila. I'm Alice." Alice extended her hand to Mila and Mila shook it.
"Nice to meet you Alice, you too Rosalie, and of course you Bella." I smiled at her, I couldn't help but to have the little sister's jealousy, my brother wouldn't be by my side the whole time like he used to, he had a girlfriend now, a new girl to take care of. I shook those feelings right out of my mind, he deserved to be happy just as much as I did, if not, more than I did, and it would be just stupid of me trying to take his happiness away.
"Yeah, Rose can come out quite harsh on the first time you speak to her, but she's just a love bug, aren't you Rose?"
"Yeah, yeah whatever. What they don't understand Mila, is that they need a friend to say the wrong things on the right moments, and that's just me." Rosalie smiled triumphantly.
"Well, Josh has said so much about all of you, especially you Bella. At first I'll admit I was kind of jealous, I thought he was talking about a friend or something, but then he cleared everything out and said that you were his sister."
"Well, I'm very happy that my brother has someone like you in his life, he seriously needed. You just came in the right moment." I smiled at her.
Before I could say anything Garrett's voice banged on our ears
"What's up Bruins?" He started and everyone in the house started to whistle, yell and clap their hands together. "I hope you all brought your big cash tonight because we're auctioning hot young ladies for the guys and for you ladies, our cheerleaders and football team. Which of you will have a date with hot Isabella Swan?" He pointed to me and I swear I turned into twenty different shades of red. "And which of you will have a date with Captain Edward Cullen?" I could hear all the girls' squeals and yells. "But it wouldn't be fair of me if I didn't save the best for last right? Let's start with this auction, get your money ready ladies, because here comes your FOOTBALL TEAM!"
Everyone cheered and all of us girls were yelling at the top of our lungs.
"First we have three young gentlemen, Paul, Alec and Benjamin!" The guys came in and all the girls squealed, Paul grinded on the pole for and moment before the three of them came started to walk down the catwalk, exaggerating on their steps and shaking their asses all around. Soon enough Paul was given away for 123 dollars and Alec and Benjamin 125 each.
The guys strolled down, each of them doing different things, and we were just laughing, the bids went from high to very low, and we were just amazed by the amount of money we could be donating as soon as we ended with the bidding part. Each girl would just get pay their money on the cashier and collect their prize on the stage. Garrett would remember here and there that the dates could only last until midnight and they should be returned in front of the school gym.
"And last, but certainly not least, here to you Edward Cullen, Emmett Cullen, Jasper Whitlock and Joshua Swan!"
They got in and the scream festival begun. Wait where the heck was Emmett?
I nudged Rosalie and she mirrored my confused look. "Wait here, I'll convince him."
She got up from the table and went behind the curtains, while so, Edward, Jasper and Joshua started dancing to 'It's tricky" by RUN DMC, before I knew it, Edward was in front of my table, he looked at me and I smiled, waving my money that wouldn't be spent to him, he got back to his dancing, flashing all the other girls his smile. They lifted up a part of the shirt showing off their abs to the crowd, the woman were in pure frenzy and I couldn't blame them, I couldn't take my eyes away from Edward and I'm pretty sure not many girls could. Each of them spread to a part of the stage, the guys on each side and Edward on the center. They started to slide the zip down and then tugging their shirts off their shoulders to reveal "Boy Toy" written on each of their chests.
I could say that my imagination was running pretty wild with the view of shirtless Edward, I could tell that every girl in this room were with their imaginations running pretty wild.
Then, the three guys came in front of our table, still holding their shirts, they turned their backs to us and started to rub their shirts on their asses, we looked at each other and started to laugh, my hand almost had the nerve of slapping Edward's cute bottom, some girls glared at us but we shrugged our shoulders and continued to enjoy the view, Alice did, however, slapped her boyfriend's but, putting a dollar bill on the hem of his pants. We all laughed.
When the guys finally got out and went to the middle of the stage, they tossed their shirts over their shoulders and girls actually ran to pick them up! They danced some more, pulling out struts that I've never seen, Rosalie soon came to join us, with a devilish smile on her lips. The problem was solved.
When we turned our attention to the stage the guys were sliding their hands on their thighs and grabbing the pants' fabric before ripping them off, revealing boxers underneath. We all screamed when just on time Emmett came to join them, they exchanged glances and went back to their dance.
I was with my cheeks hurting from laughing, and tears on my eyes when they ended.
"Alright, this was one hell of show right ladies? Now let's start unpacking some money because with them, you'll need it."
Jasper was sold out for 380 dollars to a short blonde girl, wearing glasses, she went up the stage and took him off, Alice was fuming and Rosalie was tapping her shoulder, then Joshua was taken off by Mila, who put out a good 345 bucks on him, lucky her for being permitted of bidding on her own boyfriend. Emmett went out for 460, given away by a prep cheerleader, we all knew her quite well, Carmen, who always tried out for the cheerleaders and always failed miserably, she had her eye on Emmett since Rosalie started to date him. Edward was the final one, the lucky girl who would have my boyfriend until midnight was Chelsea, she put a good 500 and something on Edward, but she groped him too much when she took him of the stage. I just breathed in and out to keep my calm.
It was our time now.
[EPOV]
Chelsea may have grabbed my ass cheek before leading me off the stage, I looked at Bella and I could see her head fuming and her eyes tinted with jealousy, but she knew there was no one I would rather be with tonight. All the squad went behind the stage while Garrett made some small talk.
"You ladies are amazing. Now we just have to wait for the cheerleaders to have their way around their skimpy little clothes so we can have a real show, and you can carry on to your dates."
I looked down at Chelsea who looked at me with dreamy eyes.
Don't get me wrong, Chelsea wasn't ugly, she was brunette, almost as tall as me, and had a great body, but she wasn't my girl, she wasn't Bella, and that was enough for not enjoying my date with her.
We sat down at the girl's previous table, Emmett with Carmen and Jasper with Maria, they were engaged in their own talk while I was just not paying attention to what Chelsea said at all, she babbled too much and her voice wasn't good to be heard.
"I think our lovely cheerleaders are ready to go." Garrett said making the crowd go crazy and making guys booming around calling out Bella's name and the other cheerleaders' as well. I could tell that I would like whatever they did, but I wouldn't like the aftermath of that, Garrett peeked behind the curtain like he was talking to someone and nodded.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here in a one lifetime performance, you're adorable cheerleaders' squad, the ones who keep your spirit up. The BRUINS SPIRIT SQUAD!"
The first ones to enter the room were the men, dressed up as sailors, took their place on the part of the stage that was declined. Each of them sitting on different places, one leaned on the pole, another sitting on the middle stage… And then, a flashlight lighted our girls, Bella, Alice and Rosalie were wearing skimpy costumes, and my breath got hitched, because I could not take my eyes away from her, away from Bella, my eyes studied hungrily as their back was turned to us, they behind a ballet bar, I think and they were snapping their fingers, I studied her outfit from the beaded short, and fishnet stockings, until a sleeveless black jacked with red details, I was hard just from the view. 'The Pink Panther's song started to come out of the speakers, and the male cheerleaders started to whistle at them and screaming.
I don't know if all the girls did the same sexy dance as Bella, but I think so, they passed below the bar and walked until they found the 'sailors' as the music demanded; they unzipped their jackets to reveal sequined push up bras, tugging them off their shoulders once the music hit another note. They started to make their way up the stage again, playing with the guys caps and they took the chance to fondle their thighs.
Elizabeth entered the stage as soon as the music changed to something smoother, I could define from the notes that the music was 'Fever', she put the microphone near her mouth and started to sing the first lyrics of the song. Call me a douche bag but I didn't pay any attention at all on her, I was focused on Bella's cute tush shaking at my very sight, even when she was in the dark part of the stage.
I must have stared at her a lot of time, because the attention turned to Alice who began to sing another part of the lyrics and then to Tanya who was in a mouth-shaped couch, I'm sorry I didn't pay enough attention to any of them, my eyes were busy feasting at the very sight of Bella in that skimpy costume. My whole body responded as well, my mouth watered, my dick twitched, and my toes and knuckles curled so I wouldn't just take her on the stage. I don't know for how many more times I would be able to not send baby steps to Nederland and just fuck her. Caveman is on the house.
The music changed again, this time Bella was on the center of the girls, she raised her microphone to her plump lips, and stared directly at me.
The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a
man of distinction
a real big spender
Good looking, so refined
Say wouldn't you like to know
what's going on in my mind
She sang and did the choreography, stealing some looks on my way, her lips often turned into a beautiful smile. I swear I was just fighting so I wouldn't succumb to her teases; she was getting to me… fast.
So let me get right to the point
I don't pop my cork
for every guy I see
Hey big spender
spend a little time with me
With this last verse, she slapped her own ass and I was just fucked. I fidget on the chair trying to make a new position for my situation. Emmett and Jasper didn't even realized what I was struggling with because I'm pretty damn sure they were in the same situation.
Rosalie was the next to sing, and as soon as she finished with the final verse of 'Big Spender' we all got up and whistled at them, clapped our hands together, screaming their names.
"Phew!" Garrett started. "It's so damn hot in here right guys? Let's give it up, one more time for our beautiful cheerleaders!" We all clapped our hands again.
Garrett started the auction with the men, they didn't raise much money, and not enough like the Football team had. Then he passed on to the girls, leaving Bella for last.
Each of the girls were bided on at least 400 dollars, Rosalie was taken off the stage, swept off her feet by Eric, the guy who took care of Bella that time, Emmett seemed like he was about to hit someone, 510 bucks was what he spent to take Rose out to dinner. Alice squealed when she was taken off for 510 as well, given out to Demetri, a guy who was on the basketball team.
"And now, our beautiful Captain, Isabella Swan, we'll start the bids on 50 bucks." 50 bucks? My girl was worth so much more than that. I fought not to raise my hand.
But several hands were raised, before we knew it, there was two guys fighting over her, she looked at me in panic, and I didn't do much to comfort her, I was insanely jealous, I just couldn't help, testosterone was speaking out loud.
"Sold for 570 dollars for the young gentleman over there, you can come and pick up your prize." Garrett spoke, and my eyes started to roam through the crowd to see who would take her on a date.
And that's when I saw him; I couldn't help but have the reactions I always had.
My fists turned into balls and my jaw clenched as Mike fucking Newton went up to the stage to claim his prize.
A/N2: I hope you liked the auction, I know I left you guys in some sort of cliff, but don't worry, just keep reviewing and I'll keep writing. I really think you should review this chapter as a birthday present for me. :) Yeah, I'm officially 18. More years to come, gimme Eddie as a present? He doesn't need to come wrapped, or in any clothes at all.
I just know you will click this button.
If you do, I'll give you a piece of my b-day cake.
