A/N: Sorry for taking a little longer then normal to post a chapter. Real life isn't always nice. I hope this makes up for it a little bit. There is lots of Edward/Bella interaction in this one! Oh and just to forewarn you, there is a limey scene in this one. Sorry for any grammar problems in this one, I wrote it really quickly because I wanted to get it out to you.

I posted a bunch of pictures of houses, outfits and vehicles on my profile. Go check them out!

Ch. 11

"I miss you too Jake. I complete spaced about you being in town this weekend. I'm sorry," I mumbled.

I heard a bark of laughter on the other end. "It's okay Bells. There is only one thing that can get you to completely forget the world around you. Did you finally see your main squeeze?"

"He is not my main squeeze. But yes, I did finally run into him. Let's just say there was a lot that I didn't know about."

"Like?" he prompted.

"I don't want to talk about it right now. I am still trying to wrap my head around it all. I will explain it to you another time though."

"That's fine. I will respect your privacy. Now on to more important matters. What are my favorite people doing on this fine Friday night in Seattle?" he asked excitedly.

"Well Alice just left. She is currently getting the group together to go out dancing. We are going to a new club downtown called the Blue Lagoon. You are more then welcome to meet us; I know Emmett and Jasper will be glad to see you."

"Sounds great. What time should I meet you there?"

"I'd say around 8? I know Alice will make sure we are there on time."

"Sounds great, I will get the directions from the front desk and see you there!"

We quickly hung up and I realized that I had to take a rushed shower.

I went through the routine of turning on the water to the right temperature and let it steam up the bathroom. Along with that came the trash bag over the cast (boy this will look hot in a dance club).

Once inside I quickly moved my hair under the shower head. My thoughts quickly turned to Edward and whether he would come out with us. That would be the first time in years since we all did something as a group. Hopefully he got along with Jacob, the last thing I need is drama in that aspect of my life.

I quickly finished up the rest of my shower routine and grabbed for the towel that I had set aside. I wrapped it securely around my body and made my way into my bedroom where I stopped dead in my tracks.

There stood Alice holding up three full-length gown bags and a huge-ass smile on her face.

All I could manage was a scowl. "What are those Ali?"

"Just a few things that I thought might look good on you," she replied.

"In other words, stuff that you bought for me on your last shopping trip. Right?"

She just sniffed in response.

"You know I hate when you do that!" I stomped my foot.

"You know I don't give a shit!" she stomped her own foot.

That made me burst into laughter which she quickly followed up with her own. After a few minutes we were able to contain ourselves.

"Okay, whatcha got for me?" I sighed.

"Oh no. First we do your hair before it dries!" Alice said pulling me into the bathroom.

Once she sat me down at my vanity I could faintly hear the TV downstairs.

"Is Jasper downstairs?" I asked.

"Mmhmmm," Alice said with bobby pins sticking out from her lips.

I just nodded in response. A few minutes of silence passed before I thought of something. "Oh! I totally forgot. Jake called right after you left and he is in town. I invited him to join us."

She gave a little squeal while clapping her hands. "How exciting! It's been a year since I've seen him. I think I heard Emmett mention that he would be in town. It will be good to see him."

I nodded in response. "You look really nice Ali."

I finally noticed what she was wearing for the evening. She had managed to get her short hair into ringlets that framed her face. Her dress was a knee-length black and white dress with ruffling on the bottom hem. The top part of the dress looked to be a in the style of a sleeveless blouse with a black satin ribbon going around the waist. She was in five inch heels which I would surely die in if I had to wear them.

"Thanks Bells. You'll look just as good once I am through with you."

I watched her through the mirror as she managed to tame my frizzy hair into soft curls. She did some complicated looking knot with the top half of my hair which included a side part at the top of my head. I swear I was a walking bobby pin; despite all of that though, I think I looked damned good.

I heard a set of voices downstairs that weren't coming from the television.

"Um, Alice. Is someone down there with Jasper?" I asked.

"Hmmm, he is probably just on the phone," she said, never taking her eyes off of my hair.

"But I hear two sets of voices."

"Speaker phone."

She quickly gave my eyes a smoky effect, but not too heavy. And then she applied a light pink lip gloss that she told me to shove into my clutch.

After the hair and make-up was complete, she brought me over to the bed. The first bag held a short red dress with capped sleeves. I would have liked it had it not been for the neckline, which was a deeper v-neck then I was comfortable with.

The second bag held a purple number, one of those bubble type dresses. I quickly passed over that.

The third one was the jackpot. The dress was knee-length and jersey style. The top layer was black which turned into sheer mesh over a nude lining. It was sexy enough but yet left something to the imagination.

I quickly slipped on the dress, careful to avoid messing up my hair. Alice quickly handed me some black heels that thankfully looked like something I could actually walk in.

With one final check to make sure I had everything in my clutch, we made our way down the stairs. Jasper had on a white button down shirt that matched Alice's dress. To go with the shirt he paired it with black slacks and his well-worn black, alligator skinned cowboy boots. You can definitely tell that Alice wasn't able to completely take the boy out of the south.

Jasper helped us into our coats before putting his own on.

"Alright! We have places to go and people to schmooze," Alice said already gliding towards the front door.

We made our way out front where we climbed into Jasper's Bentley. The ride was relatively silent but not uncomfortable. Jasper was able to find parking in the adjacent parking lot.

We quickly exited the car and made our way over to the popular nightclub. There was a line wrapped around the building, but I figured that Rosalie or Alice would easily get us in passed the bouncers.

Alice stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and began looking around. Apparently we were meeting everybody outside before heading in. I wrapped myself more tightly in my coat as I began to feel the cool weather on my skin.

Rosalie and Emmett finally showed up. Rose had on a black knee-length dress with thin straps holding it up. The bodice looked to be a corset which only enhanced her cleavage. She paired a pair of gold, strappy heels with it and kept her hair down in loose waves. Let's just say that she eclipsed every woman here.

Emmett wore fitted black slacks, a tight white dress shirt tucked into his pants where he left the top three buttons undone.

After short greetings were exchanged I heard a throat clear from behind me. We all turned to see that Edward had arrived.

Wow.

I looked over Edward's attire and immediately had to suppress the urge to drool. He had on a black button down shirt tucked into a pair of grey pinstripe slacks. He matched the outfit with black leather loafers.

I finally cast a glance at his face and he seemed to be in shock, still running his eyes over my outfit. I immediately felt myself begin to blush.

He seemed to have noticed that he stared a little too long and quickly cleared his throat. "Wow Bella, you look breathtaking."

"Thanks Edward, you don't look so bad yourself," I said with the blush still prominent on my cheeks.

"And that is why, dearest Bella, that you never need artificial blush on your cheeks. You always have on going naturally," Alice said.

"Shut it pixie," I muttered.

This caused a round of laughter.

"Is that everybody?" Emmett asked.

"I'm hurt man, you forgot about me?" came a deep voice.

We turned yet again to see a very tall man with dark skin. Jacob.

I couldn't help the very Alice-like squeal that escaped from my lips. Somehow, without falling, I ran and flung myself into his arms. He enveloped me into a tight hug and kissed the top of my head.

Once he finally released me he let out a slow whistle. "Damn girl, what have you been doing since I've been gone?"

I just rolled my eyes and playfully smacked him on his broad shoulder.

Someone quickly pushed past me, which appeared to be Emmett, who gave Jake one of those manly one-armed hugs.

"It's so good to see ya man! Why hell didn't I know you were coming tonight?" Emmett said, keeping one hand on Jake's shoulder.

"Bells just told me a few hours ago. She was nice enough to let me in on your little outing."

"Jakey! You look amazing!" Alice said skipping over to him.

And he did. His hair was now extremely short after having kept it long all through college. He had on black jeans, a deep green button down shirt and a black bomber jacket. Very Jacob.

After Rose and Jasper were able to greet him, he set his eyes on Edward. Uh oh.

"You must be Edward," Jake asked gruffly.

Edward just nodded.

"I'm Jacob. Friend of theirs from school." Jake held out his hand for Edward to shake.

Once their hands connected they seemed to be in one of those manly pissing contests to see how can squeeze the other's hand the hardest.

It appeared to be an even match.

"I've heard of you before," Edward said quietly, quickly glancing in my direction before looking back at Jacob.

After that awkward meet and greet we made our way to the front of the club. Rosalie took the lead and gave the bouncer a flirtatious grin. He quickly pulled the rope away and allowed all of us through. I noticed that Edward was standing incredibly close behind me; the goose bumps running up my arms were ridiculous.

Music was loud and throbbing throughout the building. It sounded like "Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas was the current tune filtering through. We quickly dropped our coats off at the coat closet and made our way to the bar. The place was crammed with dancing bodies so it made it difficult to maneuver through.

We finally made it to the bar and I ordered a Cosmo, usually my first drink of a night out such as this one.

Jake sidled up on my left while Edward remained firmly on my right. I raised my eyebrow at Edward because he kept scowling in Jacob's direction. He simply shrugged.

I caught up with Jacob, finding out that he was still going strong with his girlfriend of two years, Juliette. His business in Portland was booming and he was in town to meet with a possible client. About an hour in I was feeling pretty good and felt the urge to dance.

I noticed that Rosalie and Alice were already out on the floor, so I made my way out to them. The sound of "Disturbia" by Rhianna came over the speakers. I unconsciously began to move my hips with the beat. I danced a few beats with my girls before I felt a set of large hands grasp on to my hips. I looked over my shoulder to find Jacob there. I smiled at him and turned back around, resuming my dance. I pushed myself closer to him and he twined his hands together at my waist. We rocked together in that position until the song began to end.

We made our way over to the bar for another round, this time a few shots of Vodka. I immediately began to feel the effects of the alcohol and knew that I should slow down.

I noticed Edward glaring at us from his same spot, nursing a beer. Jasper and Emmett had long since gone to dance with their respective girls. What was strange was Edward continuously had a string of women asking him to dance but he continued to shoo them off

I quickly looked away from his glare and grabbed Jake again to go back out to dance. "Starstruck" by Lady GaGa began to play and I quickly turned again so that my back was pressed against his back. I pushed my butt into him and we quickly found a rhythm.

All of the sudden I felt Jacob stop dancing and turn around. I turned with him to notice a very upset Edward looking from me to Jacob.

"Mind if I cut in?" he growled at Jacob.

Jake simply did a Vana White move and gestured for Edward to take his spot with me.

He roughly grabbed me and turned me away from him. He pushed himself flush against me and grabbed on to my hips, hard. I was strangely excited; most likely the alcohol talking or the combination of that and Edward doing the trick.

"Move If You Wanna" by Mims quickly took over the speakers and Edward began to move us in sync.

"Are you trying to tease me?" he whispered roughly in my ear.

I shook my head. This only caused him to grind into my back harder.

"You look so damned hot tonight Bella and I have had to sit there and watch you with him the whole fucking time. Are you still together or something?"

I turned around to face him, wrapping my hands behind his neck.

"No Edward. We are not together. He has been with the same girl for years; we are just friends," I replied quietly.

He simply nodded. After a few seconds he moved his right leg between mine and pulled me impossibly closer to him. I felt the heat begin to rise in my cheeks at this new position. The man could dance.

I was feeling bold so I turned my back to him and pushed my ass into his groin. I noticed his enlarged problem immediately. The new position caused him to groan into my ear. I made sure that he had my hips securely against him before I bent from the waist up towards the floor. I grinded into him before working my way back up his body.

"Can we get out of here?" he asked with a strain in his voice.

I answered with a smile, pulling him towards the entrance. We found Alice and Jasper on our way out and told them we were leaving together. I waved at Jacob who just had a knowing smile on his face. After grabbing our coats, Edward took my hand and began making his way over to where he must have parked.

He still owned a Volvo, but it was a genuine sports car versus the one he drove in high school. Very Edward.

He made sure that I was strapped in before he practically ran around to his side. He was in and pulling away from the curb faster then I would have thought possible.

I couldn't help myself; I found my hand move of its own accord to Edward's knee. He quickly glanced down at my hand before moving his eyes back to the road, giving a visible gulp.

I smirked and began to move my hand up his thigh. He began to squirm slightly in his seat. I chanced a glance up at him and noticed that he was gripping the steering wheel tightly.

Just as I was about to close in on his erection, his hand shot out and stopped me. "I don't think that is a wise move while I'm driving. I will end up running us off the road."

I blushed and put my hand back in my own lap. We drove in silence for a few miles, the sexual tension practically screaming at us. I noticed that he kept looking over at me and licking his lips. As we stopped at a red light, he quickly reached across the console and placed his hand at the back of the neck. He pulled my face towards his and he took my bottom lip into his own, gently sucking on it. I couldn't help the moan that escaped. Just as I was about to react, he pulled away and kept on driving.

I was getting antsy when we finally pulled into a set of townhouses on the outskirts of Seattle. It looked really modern and somewhere a bachelor would call home.

Edward quickly hopped out of the car and came around to help me out. I was slightly unsteady due to the alcohol consumption I had earlier, but he held me tightly to him. He climbed the stairs and fumbled with his keys. After a minute of frustrated grunts, he found the right one and slid it into the lock.

Once the door was closed behind us, he pushed me into the wall. I let out a low gasp as he attached himself to my neck. I moved my head to the side to allow him better access. His free hand that wasn't holding me to the wall pushed my hair further out of the way as he kept up the teeth, and the licking, and the blowing. Those three sensations just under my ear almost made my knees buckled.

I forced his face back to mine where our lips finally crashed together. It was a sweet or slow kiss. It was heated and I knew it had been building up since that almost one in my bedroom five years prior.

I pulled away for breath and managed a, "Bedroom."

He placed his hands under my butt and motioned for me to wrap my legs around his waist. Once I was secure to him, he blindly made it to the stairs and up before passing through a door way. I felt myself being lowered unto a large bed after a minute. Our lips only left each other for a minute while he climbed on after me and settled between my legs.

I pulled his shirt out of his pants and immediately began to unbutton it. Once it was completely undone, I pushed it off of his shoulders. He slide it the rest of the way off and threw it somewhere behind him.

He slowed down the heated moments when he began to softly caress my arms. He looked up into my eyes and gave another heart stopping crooked smile. He slowly leaned down and pressed his soft lips against mine before following with the tip of his tongue across my bottom lip. I immediately opened my mouth to accept it and groaned as I was bombarded by everything that was Edward. I felt his hands begin to slide up my torso towards my chest where he stopped right under my breasts. Ever so slowly he pulled the straps of my dress down to uncover my lacey bra.

He began to palm one breast in his hand while his mouth began to travel down to the other one. Once I felt his warm breath over my bra-clad breast I instinctively arched my back. This caused me to push further into him, which in turn made him mimic the movements. As

As he moved his mouth to the other breast, we began to grind into one another. His free hand slipped down to the bottom hem of my dress and started hiking it up my legs.

Whether it was the sudden exposure of so much skin or the loud groan coming from Edward's lips, I immediately ceased my movements. He pulled back and gave me a confused look. I must have looked utterly terrified because he quickly jumped off of me.

"Oh my god, what are we doing?" I gasped.

"I'm so sorry Bella. We got carried away…" he trailed off.

"Obviously. We should not be doing this right now, especially after the amount of alcohol with both consumed!"

"I wasn't thinking right. I have just wanted this for so long. I really am sorry."

"It takes two to tango Edward. I'm just not ready for this."

I readjusted my dress as he put his shirt back on.

"Can you please take me home?" I mumbled.

He gave a silent nod.

The ride back to my place was dead silent. I refused to look at him and he seemed to be doing the same. So many things were running through my head.

I was horrified that I threw myself at him like that, especially with alcohol involved. At the same time, it felt so right. I had never felt more confident or secure in a man's arms.

I guess I had more thinking to do.

We pulled up to my house and Edward once again helped me out of the car and up to my front porch. We stood there for a minute in silence.

I finally glanced at him and he looked tortured. I placed my hand softly on his bicep, forcing him to look at me.

"I'm not completely sorry for all of this, but I am just asking for a little time. Please, I just need to sort through things," I said quietly.

"Of course, I will wait. I would wait forever if you asked me to." He gently ran his finger over my cheek before giving a sad smile. I returned it and made my way inside.

The last thing I noticed before I shut the door behind me was Edward walking back to his car with his shoulder's slumped.

-oo-

A/N: So what did you think? Told you it was a slow build-up but I wanted to give you something to hold you over for just a little while longer. Reviews are almost as good as jealous Edward.
