When I read the story I realized there were some errors, like when I wrote 'yhea' which was suppose to be 'yeah'. That's how I text that word and didn't even realize it. That shows why you shouldn't text words differently. The words you text on the phone may end up on the story. I did it a couple of times lol.
Thanks for the review guys. I hope you like this chapter.

Ch. 3
Its been two weeks since I last seen Edward. I always wondered if he would show up somewhere and show me he was real. It could've been my imagination all along. Maybe my mind was playing tricks with me that night. I always felt paranoid when by myself. The daydreaming and everything would cause Jake to look at me questionably and I would tell him it was nothing important. Why cant he stay out my head? He's nothing important. I didn't want to tell Jake, I didn't want him to be concerned for me. He's already stressed out about work so one less problem wont hurt him.
With Jake and his work, he's away most of the day. Sometimes Edward comes in my mind out of no where. Reading book that have Edward's name in it or watching tv that would remind me of him just made things worse for me. The book was a coincidence.
This was ridiculous! Thinking of a guy like this. I'm with Jake not Edward. I'll have to keep saying that to myself. I love Jacob, I really do but why didn't I think about him as much as Edward. What makes him so different, besides the bad boy style, the cocky attitude, that smile, or that sex hair. His eyes and the hands that were like magic. No stop. There you go again. Whenever I think about Edward it would go to simple things like his looks but then they would go in the dirty boundary of what his hand could do. Even though I didn't tell Jake, I can tell he saw something different in me. He wouldn't say anything, just look and walk away. He knew that if I'm ready to tell him anything I will but if I don't, he leaves it alone.
So to take my minds off thing, Jake was taking me to a club tonight. I thought it would be a great idea because I've been thinking about Edward way too much.. I have no reason why and it's constant most of the day. I called to see if Alice and Rose could go but they said they couldn't go, there was too much work to be done at work. Rose worked at a auto repair shop while Alice worked at a designing agency for upcoming stars.
With the help of Alice and Rose I've became a more confident person. I'm more into fashion and I'm not as clumsy. Thank God. My career isn't as big as Alice or Rose but I love what I do. I'm a known writer but not well known. I wrote a couple of novels so far and a lot of people like them. That's all I care about, people liking them because they can relate to them.
Anyway during the day Jake left for work while I cleaned the apartment. I did the dishes, made the bed, and vacuumed the living room. It wasn't that bad but while I cleaned I had music on. Some rock and some old classics. It made the cleaning go by faster. Once I was done with that, my stomach started to growl.
Maybe a sandwich could hold me off till tonight. I went in the fridge and saw…nothing. There was literally nothing in there. There was some left over pizza but I didn't want any of that.
"Seriously Jake" I sighed out.
I didn't want to go outside right now but my stomach was protesting. I huffed and went to change into some jeans, black sweater and some knee high black boots. Flat boots of course.
It was chilly out there but there was still a lot of people about. Couples holding hands, people talking on the phone, and some hailing a cab. I wish I could hold hands with Edward. Fuck. I meant Jake. Damn it. I'm so glad I didn't say that out loud. I really needed to go to a club tonight. I shook my head and walked out the apartment.
My keys and wallet were held tight in my hand while I walked down to the car. The store wasn't that far but with all the groceries that I would have, the car would be needed. While driving down the street I thought of the weirdest thing, after that night with Edward, why didn't I just hail a cab? If I did, that would have meant that I would've never met Edward but then again my mind wouldn't be centered around him either.
I thought some more about that night. How it could've been any girl. He still would've made out with her either way. Now I feel like a whore. My night could have been Edward free but no, his looks and attitude did it for me. Damn him.
Once I made it to the store I grabbed a cart and strolled down the isles, looking for the much needed goods. A half hour later, there was food filled to the top of the cart. Jeez, with the amount of food I have, I'm pretty sure the money in my wallet will be gone. I went to the cash register and took all of my goods to be checked out. The guy at the cash register kept staring at me, well not at me, most likely my chest. I cleared my throat and he look up at me. I raised an eyebrow at him and he looked down continuing to check out the foods. I think I saw a blush on his cheeks. He looked around eighteen or nineteen. I smiled at him, he was pretty cute with blonde hair, blue eyes but not for me. I wanted green eyes and bronze hair. No,no,no. Brown hair and brown eyes. I hope I don't slip like that tonight. Speaking of slipping tonight, when I'm drunk I have no filter so whatever I think is what I say. Just don't get drunk. Problem solved. That'll never work. Every time I go to a club I drink. Not enough to get wasted but enough for me to- yeah, ok wasted.
When I made it back home I put the food away and made a club sandwich. It was good but at that point, I'm pretty sure anything was good considering how loud my stomach was growling.
Jacob didn't arrive home till late afternoon.
"Hey, babe" I heard him say in the living room. I was in the bedroom thinking of what to wear. He came in and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I smiled.
"Hey Jake, how was work? I asked still looking in the closet.
"Good. The case I'm dealing with is pretty intense but I think my team can manage it."
I nodded.
Jacob came behind me and wrapped his arms around me. I leaned into him while he moved my hair to the side and whispered in my ear.
"Wear this one, I like it one you."
He grabbed a black dress. It was a low v-neck dress that ended at my thighs. The back dealt with diamonds on the back.(pic on profile) It was a stunning dress and it was perfect for tonight. I decided to go with black pumps. They may kill me but theses 5-inch heels were sexy.
Jacob decided to watch tv for a little bit before we went and I decided to take a shower.
I put my underwear attire on the bed. It consisted of a black lacy g-string and a black lacy bra. I placed the dress next to it, then grabbed my stuff to take a shower. I washed my hair, shaved my legs and armpits. I then used my favorite soap, strawberry, and applied it all over my body.
I wasn't trying to think of anything, I just wanted to relax under the hot sprays. Once I was finished I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my body. I closed the door to the bedroom and dropped the towel. My hair was still wet so I kept it pinned up. I grabbed my scented lotion and rubbed it on my body. The clothes on my bed were placed on me. They fitted perfectly. I grabbed my robe and decided to do my hair before putting the dress on. I dried my hair then straightened it. I parted the hair on my left side and draped the some of the hair over my forehead. It looked like a had bangs. The front of my hair was never as long as the back. Once finished with my hair, I did my make up. I added some dark eye shadow but not to much. Then I added eyeliner and mascara on. For my lips I added clear pink lip gloss. When my make up was done I dropped the robe and put on my dress. The dress really did look good on me. I grabbed the towel and robe and placed them in the bathroom, then grabbed my shoes and walked in the living room.
Jake heard me enter the room and look at me.
"Wow, you look great." He said getting up and wrapping me in his arms.
I blushed. "Thanks, Jake" I reached up and placed a kiss on his lips.
He smiled and let me go to go changed. I placed my shoes by the couch then went in the kitchen to get a glass of water. I really hope this night helps me forget about Edward.
Twenty minutes Jake came out looking fresh and nice. I put my shoes on and grabbed my purse. He placed his hands on the small of my back. The drive was pretty silent on the way there but Jake kept kissing my hand once in a while.
Once we reached the club, Jake came out and opened the door for me. I took his hand and walked in the club. Jake didn't need to show his I.D. He was pretty well known. He was a lawyer that worked at one of the biggest companies in New York. We found a table in the corner of the club. A male waiter came and asked us for our drinks. I got sex on the beach while Jake just got a Heineken. As we were ordering the waiter stared at Jake the whole time. I mean like a full on lust stare. I can tell Jacob was nervous and I couldn't help giggle. When he left I started laughing. Jake had the funniest expression on his face. I think I even snorted.
"You think it's funny" He asked with amusement.
I looked at him and started laughing again.
"Oh, Jake, you should've seen your face." I said.
"Well just wait till we get home so I can show you something to laugh about." He whispered.
I gasped and pulled back to look at him.
"Jacob" I laughed as I punched him in the arm.
We continued to have fun the whole night. I'm pretty sure I had enough drinks. I wasn't wasted but I was definitely tipsy. I met the bartender named Paul. He was really close friends with Jacob, they used to go to school together.
"Hey Paul, how's it going?" Jake asked as him and I sat down on the stools.
"Jake, good to see you. Same old same old, you know"
"Yeah, how's Emily and the kids?"
"Really great. Our first son started walking last week." Paul replied with a smile.
"Aww, I bet that's really wonderful." I said.
"So Bella, what have you been up to?" Paul said, cleaning a glass.
"Good, I may be finished with my upcoming book soon and I'm really excited for it to be published." I smiled.
Paul nodded. "So what brings you guys up here?"
"Bella needed to relax, I think her writing the book has stressed her out lately." Jake replied, placing his hands on my leg. If he only knew.
"Well miss Bella, the club is the perfect place to go."
We small talked for a little bit and ordered a couple of drinks before going on the dance floor.
Jake and I were dancing for at least an hour. I really had fun. I didn't even think about Edward. Maybe Edward was just really an imagination of mine. I'm pretty sure I would've seen him in those two weeks but didn't. Around midnight Jake received a phone call about work. When he hung up, he looked me apologetically.
"Don't tell me you have to go to work." I asked angrily. I understand work is important but couldn't he get one day off.
"I'm sorry babe. I really need to go. My team is having a meeting and I have to be there." He said kissing my cheek.
"But I don't want to leave." I whined.
"Bella I'm not leaving you here by yourself." He said sternly.
I look around for an excuse to stay. I didn't want to leave because of his job.
"….How about Paul. He can watch over me. You could trust him with anything." I said.
"Yeah but he's working, he wont be able to watch you and serve drinks."
"Come on Jake, I don't want to leave because you have to go." I huffed out.
I was getting in a bitchy mood. I'm only really like think when I had something to drink.
"No, Bella"
"Jacob, baby, please. I really want to stay." I whispered in his ear and placed my hand on his chest.
"Bella" I could tell he was about to give in.
"Please" I pouted.
He looked at me for a while till he gave in.
"Fine, but I'm calling you every ten minutes.'
"Jake"
"Ok, ok, I'm calling you every hour and that's final."
"Thanks Jake" I said hugging him.
"Yeah Yeah. If something happened to you, I wouldn't know what to do."
"Sweet, now lets go talk to Paul so I can stay"
Jake looked at me warily before getting up.
"Hey Paul, what time do you get off tonight?" Jake asked.
"Two, why?"
"Can you do me a big favor?"
Paul waved his hand for him to continue.
"Do you think you can watch Bella. I have to get to work and she doesn't want to leave."
"Jeez Jake, you act like I can't watch over myself. Its not like I'm going to leave with a random stranger." I huffed out.
"Bella, your tipsy, be lucky I'm letting you stay." Jake said irritated.
I crossed my arms and leaned against the bar.
"Do you think you'll be able to take her home?"
"Sure Jake."
"Thanks. I'm counting on you. If something happens to her, I'm coming after you."
"Yeah yeah, I know the speech."
"Jacob turned to me and went to place a kiss on my lips but I turned my head and he ended up kissing my cheek. I heard him sigh and walk out of the club.
"Hey Paul, can you pass me a drink?" I asked sitting on the stool again.
"Sure, what would you like?"
"Anything."
He handed me a shot of something I didn't to know and drunk it. I did a couple of drinks till I heard some girls yelling.
"What's going on over there." I asked.
"Ah, Edward Cullen decided to make his entrance."
Edward Cullen. So he was real and my imagination wasn't playing tricks on me. What do I do if he comes over here or something. Oh My God. I'm having a freak out. Breathe, just breathe. Act cool.
I grabbed my drink and drunk it in one gulp. I set the glass on the counter. I turned to look where Edward Cullen was.
He's coming this way. Ok, relax. He's looking this way.
I turned around and faced the bar and wouldn't it be my luck that Paul was no where to be seen. Fuck.
I tried to relax myself and act like I never noticed he was here. Keep it cool. Damn it Paul. You titty, douche bag, v-jay licker. Out of all the times, where the hell can his ass be.
While I was having a mental argument with myself about Paul, I felt someone breathe by my ear. I shivered and felt his lips lightly graze my ear. His hands moved so there were placed on the bar, which blocked me in.
"How are you, gorgeous?"
I don't think I'll be able to speak. Come on Bella, get your shit together.
"F-Fine, and you?"
I heard him chuckle before answering my question.
"Great, know that I have you here."
"How did you know it was me?"
"I know my beautiful woman when I see her."
He said my beautiful woman.
He kissed my earlobe and I shuddered. I felt him smirk against my skin.
"Where's that boyfriend of yours?"
"He had to leave, he had some work to do." I said with a sigh.
"So he left you here by yourself?"
"No, I chose to stay, I didn't want to leave because he had to."
"Mmm, how about I'll stay with you tonight so you wont feel lonely. You know, so nothing will happen to you."
His arms wrapped around my stomach and pulled me to his chest. He was warm and I didn't even think about leaning against him, I just did. He pulled me even tighter.
I was tipsy almost damn near drunk. I knew I should stop drinking but I couldn't find it in me to care but then I may do something with Edward that I would regret. Who am I kidding, I didn't regret kissing Edward that night and I don't regret leaning against him so willingly either. I really should, I really, really should but damn it I couldn't.
"So, how about my offer?"
I smiled at him. "Sure."
I felt him smirk and place another kiss on my ear. Drunk Bella was coming out to play.
Edward let go of me and turned my stool around to face him.
"Come on, lets go sit at my table."
He grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet. Once there I saw some people I wouldn't think of hanging out with Edward. There at the table was Jasper and Emmett. Ok, so maybe Emmett but Jasper. Crap Jasper will tell Jacob, then Jacob will know everything, and everything will be a disaster.
I started to hesitate and Edward noticed.
"What's wrong gorgeous?"
Think quickly.
"I didn't know, you knew Jasper." I said.
That's wasn't the plan dummy. You were suppose to say something that will get you out of here without Jasper knowing.
"Edward smirked. "Yeah, me and Jasper go way back." He replied.
Before I could think of anything else to say, Jasper and everyone else from the table looked up and spotted us.
Jasper raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. Jasper and Jacob used to live next door to each other and almost spent everyday together with Paul. They all were really close but Jasper and Edward.
Half of the group got out of the booth to let Edward and I slide in, so we were in the middle. Jasper and two other guys slid back in. Jasper was sitting next to me and whispered something to me.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well Jake had to leave to go to work and I didn't want to leave so Paul is taking me home."
Edward and Jasper looked at me, well Edward was looking at Jasper.
"Look, I just want to have fun tonight and Jake ruined it when he left." I huffed out.
Edward stopped looking at Jasper and leaned down to whisper something in my ear.
"Bella, baby, how do you know Jasper?"
"He's my best friend's boyfriend."
He nodded and placed an arm over my shoulder. He kissed my neck and went back talking to the other guys. I felt my cheeks burn when Jasper looked at me with a raised brow.
"So, you and Cullen now?"
My cheeks burned more.
"I met Edward one night walking home. I didn't have a ride to my apartment and dint think about hauling a cab so I ran into Edward and things happ- never mind. Damn alcohol, I almost told Jasper what me and Edward did.
"And what?"
"Nothing."
"Bella"
"Jasper."
"I wont tell anybody."
I gave him that 'yeah-right' look.
Edward looked over at us.
"We made out."
I hit him in the chest hard. At least I think hard. He just smirked and chuckled.
"What, it's the truth."
I was mortified. Jasper knows. Jasper knows. Now he's going to tell Jake…and Alice about it. I needed to go before something else happens but nothing could be worse then what Edward just said.
When I looked a Jasper I was shocked at what I saw. He stared at me with a smile on his face.
"J-Jasper, I-I thought you would be piss- I mean mad." I said incredulously.
"Bella, I'm not angry. You've missed out of a lot of fun. Sitting at home all the time reading books, or watching movies you've already seen. I'm not saying making out with him was a way of having fun but Jake's been gone at work most of the day and your just sitting at home doing nothing. You could be here having fun. I know Jake is trying but he isn't trying hard enough to spend time with you. He could've had tonight off if he really wanted to but Jake is Jake. Shit, your probably sexually frustrated with the lack of sex. Don't tell Alice this but if she was at work all day, then come home to tired of sex every night. I may end up of out nowhere kissing a girl to help ease of the lack of sex."
"Jasper!"
"What, I'm only man."
"Look, what I'm saying is that you should be able to have fun without him ruining it."
"What so your saying that hooking up with him isn't wrong."
"I'm not saying you should go fuck him, I'm saying you should be able to hang out with him tonight and let loose."
I had to ask him this because I know it will happen sometime during tonight.
"So, if you see Edward and I kissing, wh-" Jasper cut me off.
"Then I would say that I didn't see anything."
"Your weird." I said.
"Jasper, how long are you staying here?"
"I'm not sure, for a while I know that, why?"
"Do you think you'll be able to take me home instead of Paul?"
"Sure." That quick and simple answer made me giddy.
Edward look at me and he saw me bouncing.
"What's wrong with you"?
"Nothing, just excited."
He raised an eyebrow and I just smiled at him. Vixen Bella will be out on full blast tonight.
I pulled out my phone and dialed Jake's number. It rung five times before he picked up.
"Hello?" somebody sounded angry.
"Hey Jake."
"Bella" His voice seemed to calm down after I said something.
"I wanted to let you know Jasper said he would take me home."
"Jasper's there? Let me speak to him."
I gave Jasper the phone and a minute later Jasper handed me my phone with a smile on his face.
"He was doubtful in the beginning but finally gave up."
"Thanks Jasper"
"Yup" He had a grin on his face.
"Well, I'm getting up for a drink you guys want one?"
Everyone said yes including me. I told Jasper while he was up that he should tell Paul he's taking me home. When Jasper left, Edward kissed my neck.
"So, Edward who's the hottie." A blonde one said.
"Bella, this is Mike, next to him is Tyler, then over here is Emmett, and you already know Jasper."
Emmett gave me a goofy grin while Mike and Tyler stares at my chest then my face.
Edward lifted my legs and moved them on top of his so I was facing his way. He moved his lips back to my neck and traveled up to my chin. My hands were on his chest and one of his were still around my shoulder holding me close and the other was holding my thighs. His lips finally made it to my cheek, then the edge of my lips. I couldn't take it anymore, so I turned my head and crashed my lips to his. His lips felt so good on mine. My hand went to his neck to pull his face closer while he tightened his grip on my thighs. I swear this was the best kiss I ever had. His tongue came out and swiped it against my lips. I gave a low moan and opened my mouth. I think it just got better. His tongue went straight in and twirled with mine. I pulled away, shocked at what I felt.
"Is that a tongue ring?" I asked incredulously.
He didn't say anything, all he did was stick his tongue out for me to see. Holy shit. Edward Cullen has a tongue ring! I think I just came.
I grabbed his face and kissed him again. That tongue ring was hot, especially when his tongue twirled with mine.
Our tongues danced as he moved his hand from the outside of my thigh to the inside. I think that was the best make out ever. No, I know that was the best make out. When we finally broke apart, Jasper was staring at me with a knowing smile. I blushed and snuggled into Edward.
That whole night I was with Edward. We danced for hours and I really had a fun time. He touched me while dancing and we even kissed for a while too. We had more drinks and I really got to know Edward more. He was really sweet and passionate about music. There was more to him then meets the eye. Edward had a bad boy style shown on the outside but the inside is what I liked most. He never left my side and when I had to use the restroom he waited outside for me. I found out he was really smart. He could hold up a conversation about politics.
He loves music and books. Never saw that coming.
We talked for a little bit longer until Jasper said he was ready to go. I didn't want to but it was past three. Edward and I had traded numbers earlier and he told me to call him when I got home. Sweet.
Before Jasper and I left, I gave Edward a kiss goodbye. I wrapped my arms around his neck and his around my waist. It was a chaste kiss but it was still wonderful. He gave me a crooked smile before pulling away. I didn't want him to pull away so I pouted. He chuckled and kissed me one more time.
"Don't forget to call me."
"I won't."
Jasper led me to the car and opened the door for me.
He got in, started the car and pulled onto the road.
We drove in silence for a while until Jasper spoke up.
"Have fun tonight, Bella?"
"Yeah, I had a really good time."
"Edward is a good guy and it seemed you guys just clicked."
"Edward really is great, I don't see why Jake doesn't like him."
"Jake? What did he say about him?"
"Jake said he was trouble and I should stay away from him. He's no good for me and a straight up bad boy."
"I didn't know that. Edward's a good guy, I don't see why he doesn't like him."
"Please Jasper, don't bring Edward up in front of Jake. I don't know, every time Edward was brought up, Jake would get uncomfortable."
"Fine" He sighed out.
"Thank you."
It was weird, tonight I saw Jasper as a different guy. More loose and he actually encouraged me to hang out with Edward. I didn't think of Jasper differently but I did get to see a side of him that I liked.
Jasper walked me up to the apartment and kissed my cheek before leaving.
I showered and changed into sweats and a tank top. I pulled my phone out and saw that I had a message. It was Edward. I opened it up and read the text.
"Hey babe, wanted to see if you made it home ok, txt me back when u receive this."
I smiled. I liked it when Edward called me that. I sent a text back.
"I made it home fine, babe. ;)" I didn't want to sound clingy but I wanted to put those words on there. Just do it Bella, be brave. "I miss you already n I'm alone in bed"
Send.
A few seconds later.
"I miss u too n don't worry I'll be there one day to fill the bed up with u.."
He's good.
"Well I'm going to sleep, I'll txt u later"
"Alright. Good night, gorgeous"
"Goodnight Edward"
That night I feel asleep with a smile on my face. Jake didn't even come to mind while I was at the club. Maybe going to a club was exactly what I needed.
Look at Bella ,hanging loose. She deserves it. Any way I didn't know how I would start this chapter off but in the end I like it. I didn't tell you what Edward was wearing did I. Well he had black jeans on and a blue button down shirt. You know his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. ;) I wanted him to look differently instead of the bad boy style in this chapter. But he's still sexy no matter what.
PLEASE REVIEW...I need them to continue! :)
