That night Bella came home and started getting ready for the party at Tric, she had purposely avoided seeing Jacob as she entered the house still embarrassed about the episode this morning.
In her room Bella held up two dresses she had, one was a cute red dress, knee length that she had had for a while now. The other was a new one that was a tight, mid thigh length, strappy black dress.
Which would Jacob like she wondered. Then blushed thinking about how she would like him to take it off.
She choose the black one. Time to be daring she thought. She accessorised with silver high heels and silver necklace and earrings.
When she was finally done doing her hair and makeup she went downstairs.
Jacob was down stairs fixing the front door as he heard her coming down the stairs; he glanced up at her quickly before doing a double take.
His mouth dropped open. She looked amazing and … and so sexy.
He couldn't help the stirring feelings that were starting low in his belly, and even lower than his belly.
"Hi Jacob, I'm off have a good night." She said smiling, knowing that he was mentally undressing her with his eyes. Which he most certainly was.
Jacob stuttered to regain any sense of thoughts other than those legs, those hips, which the dress hugged perfectly, those breasts which were hiding under layers of fabric up to her face which was wearing a cheeky smile.
"Ah…ahh… right, yes, sure, have…umm…have fun." He said trying to keep his eyes focused on hers and not travelling downwards.
Bella loved how he was looking at her. No one had ever made her feel so sexy with just a look. "Why don't you come?" She asked him.
"Oh I … I don't kno –" Jacob started.
"Come on Jacob, you said we were friends, and I'm inviting you. So come." She said giving him a seductive smile.
Jacob couldn't resist. "Okay, I'll be there."
"Great!" She said leaning up and kissing him slowly on the cheek.
She didn't know why. But she felt frisky and playful.
"See ya later." She whispered next to his ear. Then left.
Jacob stood there, heart beating extremely fast for several minutes before coming to his senses and whipping off his shirt and heading to the shower.
He was definitely going to this party!
Bella took the elevator up to Edward's apartment, she was an hour early but she had to do some things at the club before the party started. She got her key out and unlocked the door. "Hey Edward, sorry I'm so early but –"
What she saw made her heart stop beating.
Naked Edward. Naked woman. In bed. In bed together. Moaning and groaning.
Edward gasped and looked up at her.
Tears sprung into her eyes. "You bastard!" she screamed and ran from the apartment, down the fire stairs and out to her car. Tears streamed down her face. That asshole! That complete jerk! How could he do this to her?
She was angry. No, not angry. Furious. Furious and hurt.
She speed all the way to Tric. She was going to this party. That jerk was not going to ruin her night, no matter how upset she was feeling.
She walked into Tric and spotted the liquor. Excellent, she thought. She didn't want to feel right now. She wanted to feel numb. Anything to take away the hurt and pain.
One, two, three shots. One after the other. She started feeling fuzzy inside. Four, Five, six shots. Her head started spinning as she kept drinking and drinking and drinking…
Jacob walked into Tric excited to see Bella. He glanced around hoping to see the vivacious brunette.
Suddenly woof whistling and shots started up. He turned to see a woman up on the bar dancing, extremely sexily he thought. Her hips swayed with the fast music, her long hair flowing around her back. The woman turned and it was none other than Bella! His mouth fell open for the second time that night. What? Why? When? How? He couldn't believe this.
She kept dancing with her eyes closed and men tried to reach up and touch her. Bella stopped dancing, she opened her eyes and saw Jacob and smiled. Suddenly her eyes rolled back in her head as she passed out and fell from the bar toward the crowd. Jacob ran forward and caught her in his arms before she hit the ground.
He quickly carried the unconscious Bella out of Tric and up to his car where he gently placed her in the passenger seat and put the seatbelt on her. He noticed she was cold and took off his jacket and laid it on her.
He smiled at her. Even an unconscious Bella was gorgeous.
He hopped into the front seat and started driving back to the house.
As he pulled up at the house he got out and opened the passenger door, picking Bella up into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck tightly inhaling his scent.
He smiled as he walked them up the stairs and into her room. He placed her gently on her bed and pulled the covers up over her. He planted a kiss on her head and went to leave when he felt a hand holding his.
He looked down to see Bella looking up at him. He sat down on the bed next to her. She has tears in her eyes. "He's been cheating on me." She said suddenly. Jacob looked at her with wide eyes. Bella laughed but not with humour, with spite. "Yeap, I caught him when I went to his apartment, right in the middle of it. Some blonde chick wrapped around him."
Tears spilled from her eyes.
"Bella, I'm… I'm so sorry," he said earnestly.
"Hmm…" Bella's hummed as her eyes closed.
Jacob went to leave but found Bella still holding onto his hand. Her eyes were open once again. "Don't leave me. Please just… just stay with me tonight." She said to him.
Bella pulled him down and he laid beside her under the blankets. She turned her back towards him and pulled his arm over her hip.
Jacob's face was in her hair, and he could smell her intoxicating scent. This felt so right to him. They fitted together as one.
With these thoughts, Jacob closed his eyes as sleep took him over.
