I quickly make my way over to Alice and Rose, not at all liking the loss of Edward's hands on me.

I feel like a different person.

Empty.

I shake my head at myself as I finally reach them.

"Who the fuck is that, Bella?" Rose demands, pulling me over to a corner where they hover over me.

"Yeah, last we knew you couldn't come out with us because Jacob wanted to watch the game," Alice adds raising a perfectly sculpted brow at me.

I look over their shoulders and see Edward still standing where I left him, his eyes on me.

I smile at him, forgetting Alice and Rose for a moment as he smirks back at me and winks

The street lights make him look so fucking hot, highlighting the metal and ink adorning his skin, and it almost makes him look...dangerous.

I shiver.

"Bella!" Rose shouts as she grabs my shoulders and shakes me.

"Ugh, okay!" I begin, rolling my eyes. "Jacob found out about my belly button ring and had a conniption fit over it, saying that I had defiled my body or some shit like that. So, we broke up and I was pissed the fuck off, ya know?"

Alice and Rose both nod their heads, hanging on my every word.

"So, I went and had another piercing done in spite of him," I rant.

Rose's eyes search my face and ears, and then she furrows her brow at me.

"Wait, you said you got pierced. What'd you get done?" she asks.

I blush and bite on my lip, then quietly say, "Um, I had my nipple pierced."

I almost wish they didn't hear me, but I know they have when I look up to see their mouths gaping open in shock.

We've always been pretty straight-laced girls. Never getting into too much trouble.

Getting my belly button pierced was pushing it.

"Ok, you got your nipple pierced. That doesn't explain the guy, Bella."

As soon as the words are out of Alice's mouth, Rose gasps and looks over her shoulder to where Edward stands and looks back at me, all of it clicking into place.

"He pierced you, didn't he?" Rose asks quietly in shock, like it's a revolting idea.

I nod my head and look down at my shoes, hating the looks on their faces.

They're not going to understand.

They won't get it.

I sigh and look up at them, "Listen, he's waiting for me and I have no idea what to say right now. Just trust me, okay? I know what I'm doing. Give me a call tomorrow, alright?"

They both look at me with a mixture of sadness and anger, but nod their heads anyway and watch me as I make my way back to Edward.

He smiles as I walk towards him and opens up his arms to me, almost beckoning me to him.

And once his hands are on me again, everything feels right and I sigh in relief.

How can this be wrong?

"I think I have some tequila back at my place, wanna go back there instead?" he murmurs as he places kisses along my neck, his arms around my waist, holding me to him.

I nod, my fingers playing with the hair at the nape of his neck.

He pulls back and places his forehead against mine.

"Let's get out of here then, yeah?" he smiles and grabs my hand, once again threading his fingers with mine and leading me down the street.

Whatcha think? :)

Let me know!
