Ch. 7

IOU

I can not believe how awesome these few months have been, I can't remember when was the last time I felt so alive. I really have Alice to thank, if it wasn't for her being, well….Alice I would have never in a million years feel so good inside. God I must sound like such a big pansy, but it's true. For the first time in a very long time I can see myself and not be disgusted. Alice turned out to be a very close friend of mine; I must say she called it, alright. I sometimes think that Alice must have some psychic abilities because the way she could predict things is flat out scary. We've been spending a lot of time together lately, and to my surprise she hasn't brought up Edward again. That could either be a good thing or a bad thing. For all I know Edward must have told her he wasn't at all interested and for my sake she has left that topic alone. I thank my busy schedule because after school and my two jobs the coffee shop and modeling, I have little if any time to think about him. I'm so exhausted at the end of the day I head straight to bed.

Since my schedule has been so busy I haven't spent much time with Jessica. One morning I woke up with a note posted on my door. "Hey stranger remember me? Can I make an appointment to talk to my friend? Your roommate Jess!" I'm surprised she didn't knock my door down but I guess I've been neglecting her. Usually when I'm home she's out and when she's home I'm out there just isn't much time for us to spend together. I am definitely making time, knowing Jess the next time it wont be a note I'll be waking up to.

It was Saturday and I had the day off so I ended up making plans to go shopping with Jessica. The best way to get on her good side is a good shopping spree; she has been a bit jealous about me spending so much time with Alice . She had given me the whole guilt trip about how I just met her and I am so much closer to Alice then I have ever been with her, so I guess I can sacrifice my insanity for a few hours for her sake.

My bedroom door suddenly opened, "Bella you better be up its 7am already."

Jess was standing in the middle of my room I was finishing putting my hair up in a bun. "Relax, I'm ready so let the torture begin." I began to laugh out loud.

"Shut up Bella! You know how it gets on the weekend at the stores, and we have a lot of shopping to do." She had her game face on, there was no stopping Jessica when it came to shopping. I remember one time there was a sale at her favorite shoe store; she almost got into a confrontation with some girl over a pair of Louis Vuitton pumps. I just didn't get it but I've never been much of a fashion diva. We had a light breakfast and a large coffee we definitely needed the extra energy boost and then we were off.

It was passed noon already we have been up and down, in and out of stores for the past four hours and I was beyond exhausted. Jessica was up in front, I've been trying to catch up to her for an hour now. I just don't know how she does it; she turned to look at me. She didn't even have a trace of sweat on her forehead. "How are you doing back there?"

She stopped and waited for me to catch up. "Not as good as you."

She began to laugh, "Come on Bells this is suppose to be fun!"

I had to admit I was having a good time; I had bought me a new outfit and some very cute pumps. It felt good to pay with my hard earned money, instead of some creepy guy's credit card. "I'm having fun it's just we haven't stopped in the last hour, and my stomach is starting to growl, its trying to say FEED ME!"

We both began to laugh. "Yeah me too, plus I'm done with my shopping, how about you?"

"Girl I've been done let's go get something to eat."

We decided to go to a bar and grill called The Kitchen, we've heard they serve great Mexican food. They seated us out in the patio which was great, it was a nice day the sun was out and there was a nice breeze. Jessica ordered a margarita on the rocks and I decided to have the same. We talked about her little escapades and Aro. She thinks he wants her to move in with him but he hasn't asked her yet, she has always had an act for assuming things. Whatever floats your boat, right? We also talked about school, work and the photo shoot, although I had told her about it already. I obviously hadn't given her enough details.

The waitress was walking our way with a tray of drinks when I flagged her down for another round. "Miss can we have another margarita, please."

"Oh! Well actually I was bringing these to you ladies, compliments of the gentleman sitting at the bar on the far corner." She pointed in the direction of the bar and gave us a wink before she walked away.

I was a little surprised by the gesture whoever this man was, I glanced at the bar and there he was sitting on a stool smiling like a fool. I smiled back at him and mouthed thank you, he must have took that as an invitation because he got up from his stool and was coming towards our table. Jessica was casually stirring her margarita. "I'm more then positive it's one of my clients, instead of sending a drink they should pay for our tab. Did I tell you Aro wants me to stop seeing my other clients? I think he wants me to be his girlfriend or something. Imagine that…"

I cut Jessica off right when he got to our table. "Jacob! It's good to see you again, how have you been?"

Jess seemed a little irritated that I interrupted her but once she got a look of Jacob that scowl turned into a smile, a very seductive I want to eat you smile. I shook my head and felt bad for Jacob getting treated like a piece of meat. "Hey Bella! I've been good, really good. How have you been? Still strutting your stuff for Mrs. Whitlock?" He had a huge smile the whole time we talked.

"Yeah I still work for her, I love working for her she's a good boss and an even better friend." I can see Jessica rolling her eyes.

"That's good. You know we are going to be covering the fashion show; Mrs. Whitlock liked our work on the photo shoot so she wants us to photograph the show. So we will get to work with each other again." God he could be a Colgate model with that killer smile of his.

"Mmmmm, work with each other again huh….that sounds really interesting." Jess knew how to make nothing into something; I give her a warning glare.

"That sounds cool you guys really know your stuff if it wasn't for you and Alice I probably wouldn't have made it through that photo shoot. I owe you big time Jacob. Why don't you grab a seat and join us."

"I'd love to but I'm actually heading out I need to meet up with some friends of mine but speaking about that IOU I might want to cash that in already." I arch my eyebrow at him. "How would you like to join me and a couple of my friends tonight we are going to this new club they opened a few weeks ago, suppose to be the hottest spot in town. It's kind of a bitch to get into but I'm sure we can manage, so what do you say?" He turns to Jessica who is eyeing him like a piece of eye candy. "Um your friend here can come to, the more the merrier."

I turned towards Jess, I knew once he invited Jess there was no way I could not say yes because she would most definitely drag me by my hair to that damn club. Jess was nodding her head, "Okay sure, what's the name of this club?"

Jess and Jacob both said enthusiastically. "After Dark!"

Eight hours later we are pulling up to the swanky new night club downtown. Of course Jess didn't want to park her own car we pulled up to the valet; she is so spoiled by Aro I would not be able to put up with Aro catering to my every need. The valet helped us out the car and guided us to the line to get into the club. As we started walking along the sidewalk to the end of the line someone grabbed my arm, I spun around ready to cuss this person out when I saw Jacob's goofy grin. "Hey Bella!" He pulled me into his chest for a big bear hug. I pulled back after a few seconds and glanced at the group of people surrounding us. "Guys this is Bella and her friend Jessica and these are the guys."

Jess and I both said hello to everyone. I didn't realize right away but everyone was coupled up, weird. We were in line for about 30 minutes now, Jess was getting impatient. She was tempted to call Aro and see if he can get us on the VIP list, she was such a baby. A few minutes later a familiar yellow Porsche pulled up to the curb and the valet rushed to the car. Alice popped out of the driver's side in the tiniest black dress I've ever seen. "ALICE !"

She turned towards the line and scanned the people until she noticed me. "Bella?" I waved her over. "Bella! What are you doing here?" She looked surprised, is it because I'm out clubbing?

"Jacob invited me and my roommate to join him and his buddies tonight."

"Oh!" She looked like she was contemplating something.

"Why? Should I not be here?" I was a little offended by the way she was acting.

She gave me a weak smile. "No it's just you caught me off guard that's all. Come, all of you I can get you in."

Everyone cheered, I on the other had knew there was something else to Alice 's attitude and I was going to get to the bottom of it. She must have noticed my hesitation. "My brother is the Manager of this club." As everyone was walking towards the entrance I froze in place. Her brother? My heart was fluttering a thousand beats a minutes. "Bella? What's wrong?" She was tugging on my wrist.

I looked up to her face. "My shoe got caught, you said...your brother?"

"Yeah my brother Emmett he's the Manager, come on I'll introduce you. I believe you two haven't been introduced yet, he's been dying to meet you." She gave me a sly smirk. As we walked up to the door the bouncers greeted Alice and let us all through with no questions asked, we weren't even carded. They did put yellow wristbands on us before we walked in. Alice led us to the VIP section where she bounced over to a tall lanky, blonde man. "Sweetie I want to introduce you to someone, this is Bella. Bella this is my husband Jasper."

"Why Bella I've heard so much about you it's my pleasure to finally meet you."

"It's nice to finally meet you too." He was very handsome they made a perfect couple.

"ALLY! What took you so long? Deciding what little black dress to wear out of the millions you have?" A tall burly man with dark hair came towards us from the other side of the VIP room. "Who do we have here? You brought a posse with you?"

"Em this is B E L L A! Bella this is my oldest brother Emmett and the beautiful blonde behind him is his wife Rosalie."

WHAT THE FUCK! His wife? She was the woman I seen Edward with the night of the charity Gala, so if she wasn't his date that meant he was there alone! FUCK! I kept looking at Rosalie then back at Emmett then back to Rosalie again. Shit I'm being rude. "Hi! I'm Bella."

Emmett laughed. "I think we established that already. Damn I guess the rumors were right Ally, she's a cute little thing no wonder..."

"How about some shots!" Alice shouted.

My eyebrows furrowed at his comment, I had a feeling he was leaving something out and Alice must know what that is. I needed to get away and think, fast. "Well it's nice to meet you all, but I need to get back with my friends. Maybe I'll see you around, Alice thanks for getting us in quickly I owe you."

"Oh sure no problem, you know I would do anything for you Bells. You don't have to…"

I cut her off before she could trap me into staying here in the VIP room with them. "I know Alice , gotta go I'll see you later." I pecked her on the cheek really fast and bolted out of there.

"In the count of three get your shots ready, 1….2…3…." We all slammed our shot glass on the table; I quickly sucked on a lime. I can feel the warmth spreading all over my body, this feels good. By this time I had totally forgot about the awkward conversation I had earlier with Alice and Emmett.

Jessica grabbed my hand and pulls me to the dance floor; I had forgotten how fun it is to be out with friends. When I hear my song, "I want to break this spell that you've created". I could feel the music vibrate my body, I close my eyes. I start to rock my hips from side to side and I move my hands up and down my body. I loosen my hair and let it fall down my back, I felt like I was on cloud nine. I stepped back and bumped into Jess. "Girl you were about to make me fall." I was giggling; I open my eyes and saw that most people had left the dance floor I was about to turn to Jess when I felt someone start to grind on me from behind. I quickly turn and see this sweaty, bulky guy and now he has his hands on my waist trying to push me towards him. I try to push away but the more I tried the tighter his grip got. "Let go!" I screamed but I wasn't sure he heard me because he kept breathing on me, he smelled like pure alcohol.

"Come on girl you know you like that." He was slurring.

Everything started to spin faster when I felt a hand on my arm. "Let her go, NOW!" It was Jacob. I felt his strong hold release me and I tumbled against Jacob. "Are you ok Bella?" I nodded; then Jess grabbed me and to took me back to the table. She handed me a glass of water, I was starting to feel better when Jacob returned. "How you feeling?" He looked so worried.

"I'm fine Jacob thank you for helping me out."

"Don't worry Bella I wouldn't let anyone hurt you." Jess started asking what happen to the guy, Jacob said that security and Alice 's brother kicked the guy out and made sure he would never be allowed back in. How embarrassing, Emmet must think I led him on or something, I must look like such a tease.

"I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back." I stood up and Jess asked if I wanted her to come but I said no, I needed some time alone. I made my way through the crowd and walked down the hallway towards the restroom, the music was drowning out.

"Shit, you need to stop Tanya we can't do this here in the club." I froze, that sounds like Edward I must be really drunk and hearing things.

"Oh Edward you know you want me, stop trying to fight it. I can feel your hard on through your pants. Mmmm….."

I couldn't see them, so I started to walk faster and tripped over my foot landing right by the stairs. "FUCK." I quickly got up and saw their silhouette in the shadows under the stairs, I ran inside the bathroom. I went into a stall and sat down, shit I just had to fall right in front of them. It just never fails me and my bad luck FUCK ME! I go to the sink to wash up and still feeling buzzed. I splash some water on my face and neck. Then I hear the door open and this tall strawberry blonde bomb shell with big boobs comes in giggling and stands in front of the mirror to fix her lipstick. I was about to turn and leave when she started to talk.

"Hi, Sorry you had to see that."

I turn to look at her. "Excuse me?" Acting oblivious to what I had heard earlier.

She had a lock of hair around her finger and had a wicked smile. "We just can't seem to keep our hands off each other, and you know how that is."

I guess Edward is into the artificial hoe bags. "Don't worry I didn't see a thing."

I left the bathroom and ran right smack into someone, when I look up I see his electric green eyes. I felt my knees go weak, he held me up and pulled us into the shadows under the stairs. I couldn't get a single coherent thought in my head; all I can think of is his intense glare and his glorious mouth. I can feel his breath touch my skin, he was so close. I felt my breathing accelerate, my chest began to rise at an alarming rate. I felt his hand move up my arm into the crook of my neck. "Isabella, did you hurt your self?"

"Wh…what?" Tanya was coming out the restroom and walked right by us. "Your girlfriend…"

Then he let his hand fall from my neck and he gracefully kneeled on the floor. He place a hand on my ankle and another behind my knee, he slowly lifted my leg so that my foot was resting on his thigh to examine my knee. His hand that was resting on my ankle slowly began to slide up my calf sending delicious waves that settled between my thighs. He gently rubbed my knee and said, "It looks like you might have some bruising but other than that you should be fine. Should you need further assistance give me a call, I'll refer you to a doctor and I will take care of all the expenses."

"You will what? Who do you think I am? I don't need shit from you or any other asshole!" I don't know what came over me, but when I heard him say that he will take care of all the expenses I snapped, he made it seem like I needed his money. What the hell did he care if I was hurt and needed a doctor? He must think I'll bribe him for his indecent exposure scene, JERK.

He was standing now hovering over me, I couldn't see his face but I can feel his stare it was electrifying, I had to get away. I tried pushing my way through, but instead I just ended falling into his arms. They were tight around my body; his scent was intoxicating I couldn't hold back any longer. "Bella." He whispered into my ear.
