Chapter 4

After Alice finally made her presence and we each enjoyed two slices of pizza, or in Emmet's case, five, I left with Rose in tow.

"So Alice, can you come around five-ish?" I asked her before I left. Alice hummed in response. "Great! See you guys later!" and we left with Alice, Jasper, Emmet, and James discussing plans for tonight.

Rose wouldn't stop babbling about how Emmet is a "hunky-delic sexy disco master", whatever that means. I tuned her out the best I could. When she turned to me with shining eyes expecting a response to something she said, I just smiled and shook my head indicating that I was completely ignoring her. That didn't deter her though, she kept right on babbling about her new sugar daddy to be.

I was going to go home and get ready, with Rose's help. I figured a second set of eyes to evaluate my outfit wouldn't hurt. Then at the appointed time Alice and the gang would come by and we would all head off to Western Bloc together.

When we got to my apartment I waved at Mike, my doorman. From what I figured, he was a friendly old gentleman who worked here as a doorman his whole life.

After I opened my apartment door, I said, "My humble abode," before gesturing Rose in.

"Bella, you have a sweet place," Rose said impressed. She walked over to my leather couches and gingerly touched the suede surface. She let out a soft, "Damn."

I laughed. "Those are Italian, imported." And when she went over to my 60 inch LED HDTV, I explained, "Yup, that is indeed, 60 inches. You can watch shows in 3D." Then I pointed to the 3D glasses that came with my purchase. Rose whistled, obviously impressed by my home decorating tastes.

"You sure know how to furnish an apartment," Rose murmured. I wanted to let Rose look around my apartment all day, but we had a club to go to.

"Rose, c'mon. We only have two hours to get me ready."

"What? Only two hours? Let's go for Christ's sake!" Rose stomped over to my bedroom with a very determined look on her face.

After two hours of showering, blow-drying, moisturizing, tugging me into clothes, and having my hair go through the curling iron, Alice arrived. When I let her in she explained that the boys, i.e. Emmet and Jasper stayed in the lobby, not wanting to be subjected to make up and clothes and such.

"Bella, you look fantastic. Rose, you are always flawless. When we walk into that club, we might turn some men straight!" We all laughed at the prospect.

I wasn't usually into praising myself, but today I looked pretty damn hot. I had on leather pants and a midnight blue halter top that showed most of my back. Rose gave me some silver jewelry to put on and later, she dug out my blue Jimmy Choos. I warned her though, that I was lethal when put in 5 inch stilettos. She laughed it off, but I knew, inevitably, I would show her I was right.

"Here Bella, let me do your make up," Alice insisted. Alice gave me smoky eyes and put on lip gloss with a coat of shimmer. "No blush for you because you don't need it," she insisted when I asked her about blush.

"There, all done," and with a satisfied sigh, Alice took a step back and looked at her handiwork. She was frowning a bit, but when she stepped over and released my hair from my clip, she brightened up again. I shook my hair out and I realized that I had sex hair now. Ah, who cares? I was here to dance and drink tonight, not attend a business meeting.

Rose, Alice, and I stepped out of my apartment giggling. I had a good feeling about tonight. My night got better when Alice spoke.

"Oh and Jasper and Emmet are just a bit metrosexualized," Alice giggled. "See, I figured that when James said that it was an exclusive gay club, there would be nobody like Emmet and Jasper allowed, so I glammed them up so they can enter." She covered her face with both hands to stifle her laugh.

"Oh. My. God. I have to see this shit!" Rose was going nuts. She was just itching to see Emmet and her brother "glammed up". I chuckled as she pushed to button for the elevator over and over at a steady beat.

I was in for a shock when I exited the elevator and saw Emmet and Jasper sitting on one of the couches both looking as nervous as fuck. When they stood up to greet us, I saw why.

Jasper was wearing grey skinny jeans and a super tight orange and blue checkered shirt. His normally curly hair was combed over to one side and gelled there. A pair of Ray Bans was tangled in his hair. I think I saw a touch guyliner, too adding a subtle touch to his usual appearence.

Emmet was no different. He wasn't wearing pants quite as tight, but they were black and shiny, like leather, but not quite. He was wearing a white shirt that stretched across his muscular chest that had "Sexy Bitch" written on it with black letters. He had his leather jacket hanging form his arm, and I could see that he was not spared from Alice's eyeliner either.

I couldn't hold it in any longer and I began laughing my head off. I had to bend down and support myself with one hand braced against my knee, I was laughing so hard. Rose and Alice were no different. I think it took us a good ten minutes to calm down, all while Emmet and Jasper stood there awkwardly.

Even after the laughing subsided, us girls were in hysterics. I got the nastiest stink eye from both of the boys, but really, it was worth it. We left my building arm in arm, with the boys straggling a few steps behind.

Alice flagged us a taxi-van, and I ventured in, excited for my first time. Seattle cabs were probably like kittens compared to the savage cabs over here.

I wandered into my own world and just took in the sight of all the buildings, cars, and people passing by in a messy blur. In the background, I heard Rose gushing over Emmet's new look.

Before I knew it, we were there and I was pushed out of the cramped vehicle. There was a line of twenty or so people leading up to the entrance. A buff bouncer stood on guard, and I knew he would have given Emmet a run for his money. Luckily, James was there talking to him. I waved at him.

His face broke into a wide grin as he greeted us. "Welcome! I'm glad you guys could make it. I have a private area set off for you and if you don't mind, I'm going to be joining you!"

"That'll be no problem James," Jasper replied casually. I personally didn't mind.

"Oh, that's fabulous! Now come in before you catch a cold," James said excitedly as he ushered us in, past the people waiting in the line and the bouncer.

I could feel the music even before I stepped in. I shed my coat and handed it over to the coat check attendant. I took a deep breath as I followed in after a giggling Rose and Alice.

When I first entered, I was overwhelmed by red and black. Everything was red and black, but there were also many vintage posters that gave the whole area a grungy and grotesque look. There were two bars, parallel to each other. It was pretty crowded here, but as James promised, there were no wandering eyes. Later I learned there was a large dance floor on the level above.

I liked this place already. I was ready to drink, and I was most definitely ready to dance. Our little group made our selves over to the section James set off for us, noting that it was a dark and intimate corner. I ordered a Budweiser. Alice, Rose, and James a Cosmo. Jasper and Emmet a Corona. Our orders quickly came and as soon as I gulped mine down, I ordered another from a deliciously half naked waiter. Then, I realized that all the servers in this club were cute half-naked guys.

This time, I nursed my beer. Jasper, Emmet and James were talking and I couldn't help but to hear.

"Emmet, you look honest to God fuckable. If you didn't have eyes for blond hottie, I would be all over you," James said seductively and he gently touched his shoulder.

It seemed Jasper didn't hear what was said, or he chose to ignore it as he said, "James, this place is going really well. I'm proud for you man." Emmet was discreetly trying to inch away from James' touch.

"Thanks Jasper, that really means a lot to me. But I'll have you know, I just hired this delicious boy, he is absolutely…"

I couldn't hear because Rose and Alice pulled me over. Not too gently if I might add.

"Bella, we had the most awesome plan ever!" Alice said sarcastically. She was vibrating with energy.

"It's called talking to your buds, not eavesdropping on the boys," Rose said disapprovingly. I pouted and by the looks on their faces, I knew I was off the hook.

"We're here to dance and drink and be merry! So let's do that!" Alice said.

I gave in, "Fine, fine. Let's go, then, off your asses." We all took a long swig of our drinks before jumping up and heading to the dance floor upstairs.

We blended into the crowd seamlessly. The music was pounding and it made it effortless to dance. At first we all danced together, but eventually, we separated, finding some body to dance with. I was having no luck as all the men here were interestingly interested in, you guessed it- men. However, Rose seemed to have a good time with a tall guy with dark hair and I saw Alice grinding up against a slim boy, obviously too young to be here.

I was dancing by myself, and I was enjoying it. I let my hands tangle in my hair and I let my hips move in time to the beat. I was really getting into it when a spotlight suddenly focused on a small stage with a pole!

All the bodies around me stopped moving to look at the stage. A group of three men dressed in a complete police man's outfit marched onto the stage, their hips swaying with each firm step. I was mesmerized that I almost didn't realize James stepping in beside me. I turned to him and saw that he was smiling broadly.

"This is my favorite part of the evening. Three of my employees come out every two hours or so the entertain us. I love it!" James whispered excitedly.

I stood there and waited for the show to begin.

They all stopped in unison. Slowly, they took off their shirts and threw them into the crowd. They all rushed to grab onto it. Music started blaring. It was Love Game by Lady Gaga. I rolled my eyes at how stereotypical that was, but I saw that the crowd was just eating it up.

The three men ripped their pants off in unison. There were buttons running down each leg, so buttons were flying everywhere. That too they threw into the crowd. They were left in back g-stings and their hats, which conveniently covered most of their faces.

They moved with authority on each beat, and one man marched over to the pole and started dancing on it. I was shocked at first, but I also realized why James said that he loved to see them perform. It was erotic, the way his body moved. It slithered and twisted and turned all around the shiny pole. I was mesmerized. The other two stood slightly off to the side, doing their synchronized dance.

The song ended and with it, the show ended too. The pole dancer set his feet on the floor again and took a little bow as coins and bills rained upon him. Then the three men turned in unison and marched off the stage in unison, like a little army. However, the last man casually took off his hat and threw that into the crowd. I saw a flash of copper hair before he stepped once again into the darkness.

I was left panting and turned on and very wet. Shit. Rose and Alice urgently waved me over.

"That was hot!" Rose screeched when I finally made it through the crowd. Alice was bobbing her head viciously in agreement.

"They were really good," I admitted. "Especially the pole dancer." Rose and Alice agreed with me in unison.

"They make me wanna dance!" Alice exclaimed. She gyrated her hips and raised her hands in the air to demonstrate.

"Hell yeah! Let's go!" Rose yelled and they disappeared into the crowd again, probably to find somebody to grind against.

I needed to use the ladies room. Looking back on it, I probably shouldn't have gulped down three beers. I walked along the wall, where it wasn't too crowded and easily found my way to the bathrooms. They were in a separate hallway, a little ways off the dance floor. Thankfully there was a ladies room and there was no line.

I stepped out of the dimly lit hallway and entered the bright bathroom. The sudden light blinded me for a second before I adjusted. After taking care of business and stepping out, I decided to reapply some makeup. It wasn't that difficult and I was out quick.

But as soon as I stepped out, I collided into a dark figure. Of course I lost my balance, but the person I bumped into held onto me tight. His arms circled around my waist so that I wouldn't fall over.

"I am so sorry," I said hastily. I hoped he wasn't upset I almost made him fall over.

He chuckled before replying. "No harm done," he said. I noted how smooth his voice was.

"Well, thanks for saving me," I shouted as I turned my back to him and started walking toward the dance floor again. I didn't want the man that saved me from falling to see my cheeks reddening.

I was almost there when my heel caught onto a snag in the carpet and I was sent flying. "Oh shit!" I shouted out. My head something hard and the next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground and my vision is blurry. Darkness starts seeping into my eyesight and I lay there until I don't feel anything.

I woke up in a small room on a leather sofa. This room had a small fridge and a TV so I was guessing it was staff lounge.

"Hey you woke up," I recognized that voice. It was Mr. Smooth Voice. I turned to look at the man who saved me twice and was stunned into silence.

He was gorgeous. He had a unbelievably chiseled jaw line and a straight nose. His beautiful emerald eyes were looking at me with concern and his shiny reddish colored hair looked like he just had sex. My fingers were itching to tangle my fingers through his hair. If I were standing I was sure my knees would have been wobbling to a point that I couldn't stand anymore.

"You okay, beautiful?" I must be in heaven. He was an angel and I was in heaven. That was the only logical explanation for how this gorgeous being was here with me. He leaned over me and studied my face. I could feel his warm breath he was so close.

"You hit your head pretty hard," the angel said. His eyebrows scrunched up.

I knew that this was my chance to see if this was real. I moved my hands up to the sides of his face. He looked shocked but didn't stop me. I ran my fingers through his hair. I gripped his soft locks and gently pulled his face toward me.

His eyes were startled and he began to question me. "What-" but I cut him off with my lips. He shut his eyes and I shut mine as well. At first I moved slowly, but he got his foothold and I felt his arms move around my head and his body being gently lowered onto mine. His soft lips moved in earnest against mine, and his tongue ran along my bottom lip. I opened my mouth and then our tongues were dancing, battling for dominance. He groaned into my mouth and I instantly felt myself get wet.

I was ready to keep going like this until he froze. His lips, his tongue, his hips, everything froze as if somebody cast a spell on him. Then the reality of what I did dawned on me.

This was real and I just attacked a stranger, albeit a deliciously handsome one, in a gay strip club. I didn't even know if he liked women, for all I know, he could have thought I was a feminine man. Shit. Shit. Shit.

When I thought the shit I was in couldn't get any worse someone knocked on the door. Now, as I looked into sexy man's eyes, I saw panic mixed with anger. Immediately he stood up. He cursed and quickly opened up a second door and hid himself there.

The door swung open and I came face to face with a very upset looking James.

No doubt now this was real. Why do I always end up like this? Fuck.

AN: Ooh cliffhanger! Why was James angry? And was the make out session with Edward or some stranger. Until next time...
