Eyes Like Yours

Chapter Twenty-Three - A Kiss for New Year's

BPOV

The party had gotten off to a great start. Alice and Jasper's home was packed with the thirty plus people; most of whom were old school friends of theirs. Everyone was having a blast; dancing, drinking and just catching up on old times.

Alice pulled out all the stops for the party; including great outfits for us three girls. She'd brought the dresses in Paris while on her honeymoon, and she hadn't allowed us to see them until it was time to put them on.

I laughed when I thought back to the three of us changing. I'd sulked the whole time; complaining the dress probably wouldn't fit, and that she should have allowed my to try it on earlier in case any readjustments were needed. But of course, Alice came out on top. The dresses fit perfect.

"I know your body," Alice giggled as she pat my stomach.

We were all in a different colour; Alice in a strapless purple dress that came to just above her knees. Rosalie was in a gold dress with thin straps that started between her breasts and hooked up behind her neck. My dress, I absolutely loved. It was a gorgeous blue, with beading around the waist and at the top of each strap. The three of us looked awesome. (Outfits on my profile page)

I decided that I was going to let loose tonight; especially with the plans that I had for Edward. Also, no Sammy tonight. Esme and Carlisle decided on a quiet night, and offered to have Violet and Sammy. They also invited Renee and Charlie along to help bring in the new year quietly with them.

Speaking of my mother, she's been spending a lot more time here in Forks than usual. It was weird. I'd have to ask her about it. But for now, I had more important things on my mind.

Edward and I had only spoken a few words to each other the whole night; he'd been busy catching up with old mates. But that gave me time to put my plan into action. I hadn't even told Alice and Rosalie what I was going to do; I knew what they would say. That I was probably taking this too far. Maybe I was, but that would be my problem to deal with.

I hadn't spoken to Tyler much since that one night just over six months ago. It had been awful, and every time I seen him afterwards, I'd just cringe. That's how awful it had been. Sure, he'd enjoyed himself, but me? Nuh uh. I'd pretty much just laid there and let him do his thing. Never again.

I'd waited until about three hours into the party before I made my first move. The drinks were flowing, most people were getting tipsier by the minute, and everyone was just rockin. I'd kept my eyes trained on Tyler, waiting for the moment Lauren left his side. When that happened, I jumped into action.

I spoke to him for a few minutes, being nice and asking him what he'd been up to lately. Then, from the corner of my eye, I spotted Lauren watching and listening in on us. Excellent. Exactly how I had planned.

I then went on to tell Tyler that I would much appreciate it if he didn't say anything about us in front of Edward. I told him that Edward's feeling would get hurt, and that he'd probably get mad if he ever found out that I'd slept with him. Tyler, as I had expected, agreed to my wishes. I didn't like the fact that I was using him as a tool, but if it helped me in getting what I wanted, well, I was going to do it.

When I walked away, Lauren was glaring at me. She'd overheard everything. Perfect. She didn't know it yet, but she was actually helping me too.

"Bella, come dance," Alice shrieked as she latched hold of my hand and dragged my into the middle of the makeshift dance floor.

After about twenty minutes, I grew tired from the dancing, and left Alice to grab a drink. That's when I spotted Edward. His eyes were on me; watching my every move. I winked at him across the room, and he smirked in return; crooking his finger and beckoning me over.

"What can I do for you?" I grinned slyly as I sidled up next to him.

Edward wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me until I was pressed against his chest. "You …look sooo sexy tonight Bella," he drawled into my ear.

"I'm glad you think so," I went up on tip toes and kissed his cheek. I hovered for a few extra minutes before pulling away.

"You've been quite friendly towards me tonight," Edward then pointed out as he wrapped his other arm around me.

"Well, its New Years Eve, we're supposed to be having fun, not playing silly mind games with each other. Wouldn't you agree?" I placed my hands on his shoulder and toyed with his collar.

Edward chuckled. "I do agree," and he squeezed me tighter.

His arms around me felt perfect, and I wasn't looking forward to him letting me go. But if my plans went well, then they'd be back around me before the end of the night. It would be the perfect ending to our first New Years Eve together.

"You know, there's only about thirty minutes left until we hit twelve o'clock," I stared deeply into his eyes. "But I don't know if I can wait that long," I pouted at Edward.

"Wait for what?" Edward slurred. All the alcohol must have been starting to affect him now. I was feeling it too, but I needed to keep my head clear; just for a bit longer.

"For my new years kiss," I answered him; jutting my lip out even further.

Edward just looked at me. I saw something flash in his eyes, and the next thing I knew his lips were pressed against mine. It wasn't soft or gentle. It was passionate and electric; just the way I loved his kisses. He'd pushed me against the bar, and had lowered one hand to cup my ass. He squeezed and grasped it; pressing me into his already hard erection. I was having trouble breathing now, and I had to detach myself from him. I still had things to do.

But I was have second thoughts now. Maybe I didn't need to go ahead with it; it seemed like Edward had already started to crack.

Then he had to go and open his stupid ass mouth.

"Oh hey, there's Lauren," he smirked.

Oh yeah, it's still on.

My teeth were clenched, and I so badly wanted to punch him in the teeth for mentioning her name in front of me. He knew I hated that shit.

But moving on. It's time to get started.

"She's here with Tyler. Actually, I haven't spoken to him in a while. I wonder what he's been up to lately," I looked back at Edward.

"You know Tyler?" he questioned.

And I laughed. "Do I know him? That's a bit of an understatement, don't you think?"

And there is the bait. Take it Edward. Take it. Take it.

"What is that supposed to mean?" he narrowed his eyes at me.

Good boy Eddie.

"Oh, I thought you knew," I sounded as innocent as innocent could be. "I went out with him a couple times about six months before you came back," I explained.

"You what?" the colour had started to drain from his face. As I had expected, he wasn't very pleased.

"Ah, I just said….," I began, but Edward cut me off.

"Did….you fuck him?"

And that was my cue to leave.

"Oh, there's Alice. Hold that thought," and I was gone, leaving Edward to do what I knew he would.

I darted across the room and stood by Alice and Emmett who were deep in conversation. When they spotted me, their faces lit up.

"We just saw you and Edward practically eating each others face," Alice giggled like a school girl.

"Does this mean you guys are sorting things out?" Emmett asked.

I ignored them and watched as Edward started to stroll towards Tyler and Lauren. And here we go.

"Oh no, you didn't?" Alice gasped when she realised who I was looking at.

"I did," I nodded. "I told him".

"Huh? What's going on?" Emmett was just confused.

"Edward wanted to play games with me, so I decided that I would continue to do so too," I told him. "I am about to find out if the little ratbag has learned his lesson; because if he plays with fire, he's got to expect to get burned".

"Oh shit," Emmett just laughed. "You better run little lady, because you are in so much trouble," he tauntingly teased me.

He was right, I would need to run.

And he would chase me. Right up those stairs to a private bedroom where we could take it out on each other. In everyway which we could.

Mmmmm.
