Chapter 3: Keeping company

BPOV

I could already see, that me, Alice and Rosalie would be great friends. We talked and laughed, they did my hair and make up and I was even allowed to borrow a dress from Rosalie since Alices were too small for me.

It wasa black dress that stopped just above my knees, it was sleeveless and hugged my waste. They even made me put on strappy black highheels but I doubt I will were them the whoöe time. A clumsy girl pared with highheels is never a good idea.

My hair cascades down my back shiny brown curls and myy makeup was subtle.

When I looked at the work Rose and Ali had done, I had to admit I looked pretty good.

After we were all ready, Rose called Emmett to ask him for a ride.

"Hey ladies, you guys look smookin'. I mean damn, you really clean up nice"

We all laughed and I of course blushed. Typical.

The party was loud and crowded we found a quiet place in the far back corner and snagged it before anyone else did. We talked and drank for a while, it was good fun and I might have become a little tipsy.

Emmett and Rose were real lovebirds, the seemed to get bored uf us and started to make out. I didn't blame them, they made an adorable coupel.

"Care to dance with me ma'am?" A cute blonde guy with a texan accent asked Alice.

She squealed and checked with me if it was ok. I nodded, laughed and told jer to have fun.

So now I was basically alone. Rose and Emmett only has eyes for eachother and Alice was rocking thedance floor with her hot partner.

I decided to give the lover some privacy and pretended to go to the bathroom.

I looked for another free corner and found one were I watched Alice having fun, I mus say I was a bit jealous.

Ten minutes later came a tall guy with dirtyblond hair. He introduced himself as James and asked me to dance. I wasn't interested, je actually gave me weird vibes and I just wanted him to go away.

"Oh come on... just one little dance and then maybe we can look for a free room." He sugessted and dragged a finger down my arm. It made me shiver but not in a good way, James was disgusting.

" I really don't want to, just go look for a different hookup." I told him while shrugging his hand off.

"I don't want a differen girl, I want you." He wispered, then he liked the shell of my ear and grabbed my ass.

That was enough.

" I said I don't want to!" I yelled, my voice filled with anger and fear, and stopped on his foot , hopping he would let go of me.

"Bitch!" , he screamed , pulled back his arm and slapped me in the face, hard.

The next thing I registered was James beeing punched in the face by most handsome man I have ever seen.

EPOV

" You disgusting piece of shit! How dare you hit a girl!" I swore and hit in the nose. If Emmett hadn't come and pulled james away and into the back yard, I would have probably hit him all night threw. What a major Asshole.

I saw as the beautiful girl was escorted outside by Rose and the girl that danced with Jasper. She had tears in her eyes and was shaking. I relly wanted to go to her and make sure she is fine but I thought she needed some time to calm down.

As soon as Rosalie marched back in, with the tingy girl next to her, I rushed towards them.

"Can I.." I trailed off and pointed to the pool where I assumed the brown haired beauty was.

"Yeah sure, but Edward, be gentle.."

I nodded and walked out to the pool. She was sitting at the side of the pool. Her arms were rapped around her body and her eyes were looking at the surface of the water.

"Hey" I greeted in a calm voice trying to get her attention.

She jumped am turned around with big scared doe eyes.

When she realized it wasn't James, she wiped away a tear obviously hopped I didn't see it.

"I'm sorry I startled you. Can I join you?"

She nodded slowly, her eyes focused on mine. I sat down nezt to her and sighed.

"I'm sorry I didn't thank you before, for saving me, I mean helping me get rid of him. Or whatever. Anyway thanks..", she rambled giving me a tentative smile and them an adorable blush started forming on her cheek. Or was that because he hit her?

"I didn't come here to get your thank you, I was to late anyway, wasn't I? Are you okay?" I looked deep into her big eyes, heer orbs like pools of meltet chocolate onlsy slightly red from the tears she's shed. I wanted to kiss the pain away.

What the hell Cullen? Wrong time to fantasize about the hot chick that's been crying. You don't even know her name jackass.

I chastised myself and brought my attention back to the girl.

"Oh yeah it's nothing. You don't have to be here because you feel bad for me, go back in. I'm sorry for ruining your night and thank you again for your help." She smiled at me and her eyes started to get glossy with unshead tears.

I don't know if she didn't want me there with her or if she was just beeing polite, either way I wasn't going to give up that easily.

"You didn't ruin anybody night, except James' maybe, but that bastard deserved it. You know none of this is your fault, right? Don't blame yourself for this. And to be honest I'd rather spend my time here talking to you than go back in there." I told her seriously and gave her my best panty dropping grin. ( I'm just telsting my chances)

She cracked a smile and then blushed a dark crimson shade. So hot!

"I'm Edward by the way."

"Bella." she wispered back.

Beautiful. How fitting.

"Suits you." I told her.

"Don't flatter me." She joked and blushed an een darker shade of red.

"I was beeing serious."

She smiled and looked everywhere but at me.

"Do you mind if I take a look at your cheek" I asked trying to think about the right cheek. I wouldn't mind checking out the one further south either.

"It really isn't that bad i've had worse." She quickly assured.

"You've had multiple guys hit you?"

I started to get angry again.

"No! I mean I'm very clumsy and fall a lot."

"Oh"

I wouldn't mind catching you...

"I want to check anyways. Please? I'm studying Medicine so you can trust me." I smirked and showed her my puppy dog eyes.

She laughed and nodded.

While probing and touching her cheek I tried to ignore the light electric feeling I got in my fingertips.

"I don't think it's gonna bruise, just a bad slap. Does it sill hurt?"

"No, not anymore, just tinggling a bit." She blushed again.

Mhm what could that mean?

"What exactly happened inside?" I asked truly curious.

"You know. The ususal."

"There is mothing usual about a guy hitting a girl, even for James.

"He asked me to get a room with him and I said no. He wouldn't accept that so he started touching me, I stomped on his foot and then he slapped me. Sometimes I really hate guy."

"Understandable, but not all guy are like that"

"You're right. You for example, you seem different. You're so nice and h-"

"Bella, we're going home are you coming?"

Rose interupted her. Bella blushed again and then stood up.

"Thanks for keeping me company, it was really nice talking to you. See you around."

And wth that she was gone.

Awww... aren't the cute?

Hope you liked it!

Can't wait to see you in Chapter 4.
