One Of Those Girls

BPOV

The drive over to the restaurant was quite a struggle. Edward could barely stop himself from pulling over and doing me in the backseat. I almost begged him to pull over too.

Ugh it would have been great too…

We had to settle for Edward driving with one hand so that our fingers could sit intertwined between us.

Edward parked the car a few blocks from the restaurant and quickly leapt from the driver's seat to open my car door. I took his outstretched hand and almost hit my head on the top of the car when he pulled up to kiss him.

I wrapped my arms around his neck to pull him closer to me as he wrapped his arm around my waist and shut my car door. Edward pushed his tongue into my mouth and I pushed my body forward into his. At this Edward groaned and pushed my entire body against the side of the car.

I seriously could have jumped on him right then and told him to just take me in the backseat, but I suddenly became aware that we were not alone and that would not have been appropriate.

"Edward we're in public!" I whisper, out of breath.

"No we're not. We're in a parking garage." He says as his lips trail down my neck to my collarbone.

"It still counts. Plus the parking assistant over there is watching us." I say. He seemed to be quite engrossed with our activity too.

"I don't care. Let him watch." Edward said, moving his hands around to my ass.

"Edward" I moaned, for not wanting to stop yet knowing that we had to.

I pulled his face up to look at me.

"Alice and Jasper are waiting." I say with a sigh.

He nods and reaches down to hand me my purse that I had dropped when he pulled me out of the car. I pull the strap over my shoulder and Edward takes my hand, once again blending our fingers together so you couldn't tell whose fingers were whose.

Well actually Edward's fingers are bigger and the knuckles are kinda banged up from boxing and my fingers are the tiny ones. Edward's hand could probably swallow my hand.

As we walked past the man who had been watching us earlier, Edward took his hand out of mine and threw his arm around my neck, glaring at him. I giggled as I watched the man's face go from voyeuristic to scared shitless in 2 seconds.

We walked the rest of the way to the restaurant with Edward's arm around my shoulders and my arm around his waist trying not the step on the cracks in the sidewalk.

Childish? Probably. Fun? Absolutely.

We only stopped when Edward thought some guy looked at me the wrong way. Then he would move his arm around my waist and pull me tighter against his side.

We walked into the restaurant and didn't see Alice or Jasper, so we made our way over to the bar.

The restaurant was very modern. It was dark except for colored lights, like the ones in Starbucks, over each of the tables and booths. The bar was clear and there were many Starbucks lights above the bar. The entire place was packed with people. There was only one stool open and Edward lifted me up onto the stool and ordered us drinks from the bartender.

Edward's eyes kept shifting to the people around us, particularly to the men. I could tell that he was trying to ward off any wandering eyes. When the bartender slid us our drinks I noticed he had ordered me a Shirley temple and a gin and tonic for himself.

Back in high school, Edward used to drink quite a bit. And not any gin and tonic crap, he drank the hard stuff. I always hated when he got drunk and stuff. Let's just say I received many a drunken phone call asking me to come pick him up. Those were definitely not fun.

There was one night where I went to pick him up at someone's house and there were these stupid girls hanging off of him and I was uber pissed. After that night I told him that he shouldn't count on me to come and get him all the time, therefore I wasn't going to pick up his drunken ass anymore. I was tired of always coming to get him when I knew he probably just did some shit with everyone of those girls. It hurt too much.

So one night he was drunk and called me to come get him. I told him to figure something else out because I wasn't coming. Little did I know that he would decide to drive himself home. He got in an accident. Luckily it wasn't terrible and he only needed a few stitches, but it was enough to make me swear off drinking for a long time.

When we first got together, I decided that I had to be honest with him about that night and how much it tore me up that I could have prevented it. After that he stopped drinking the hard stuff. And I'm not complaining.

I hand Edward his drink.

"Edward stop it." I say as I take a sip of my drink. "I'm here with you. I'm going home with you. You have nothing to worry about."

Edward smiles and takes his drink.

"I know love." He says leaning down to kiss me.

Edward pulls away and glances around at the men he had been glaring at earlier as if to say 'Back off mother fuckers! She's mine so deal with it!'

Even though his protectiveness can be smothering at times, there are times like this when I just have to love it.

That was when I saw Alice pushing through the crowd, hauling Jasper behind her.

"There you guys are! Where have you been?" Alice yelps with a smile. That's what you have to love about Alice. Even though we were late, she was still happy that we came.

"I'm so sorry Alice…" I started but was interrupted.

"I'm not." Edward whispers under his breath.

I glare at him and Alice just flashes him a sarcastic smile as Jasper tries to control his laughter behind her.

"ANYWAYS" Alice says, "We got that table over there"

Alice says, standing on her tiptoes in her electric blue stilettos to point to a table in the corner.

"We are going to try and get drinks. It was impossible earlier because there are so many other people here!"

"Really? We got some right away." I mention.

"Well honey that's because you are the gorgeous couple." Alice says in a baby voice, taking my chin in her hand.

"Ahaha okay Alice okay!" I giggle.

Edward takes my hand and leads me over to the table and sits me down like a gentleman.

My own personal Clark Gable

He makes a move to sit next to me and sees a little note on the table in front of the chair.

Dear Edward,

Don't even think about sitting here. It's my turn to sit next to Bella. You can sit across from her.

Love Alice

Edward growls under his breath and stomps to the other side of the table to sit across from me. He slumps in his chair and starts to pout, crossing his arms over his chest. I giggle and remind him with my foot that we can still play footsies. He smiles and me a sits up in his chair. And that was when I saw her.

She had blonde hair that had obviously been dyed and lots of black eyeliner and glossy pink lips. She was wearing a red, off the shoulder, bandage dress that was so short that if she bent over, you would probably see her ass.

She pushed was stumbling away from the bar, obviously having had too much to drink, and when she saw Edward her eyes widened.

"O my god Edward!" She screamed, stumbling over toward the table.

Edward looked to her in shock before glancing back at me. She put her hands on the table to hold herself up as her gold crystal covered pumps weren't helping her to stay vertical. Once she had her balance she slid into Edward's lap.

Edward looked at me with wide eyes that conveyed that they were just as shocked as I was. She swung her arm around Edward's neck and he cringed uncomfortably. She stuck her hand out to me across the table.

"Hiii! I'm Tanya!! Who are you?" She asked quite loudly, quickly shaking my hand before putting in around Edward's neck with her other hand.

As I was about to tell her that I was Edward's girlfriend and that if she didn't extricate herself from him in 2 seconds that I would rip her to pieces, she turned away from me and back to Edward.

"So Edward it's so great to see you here! Maybe we should finish what we started that other night…" Tanya says, trying to look at him seductively.

Wait the other night? What is she talking about?

"Tanya I told you…." Edward started but Tanya cut him off.

"Come on! You know you want to. We had so much fun that night a couple weeks ago! I promise your girlfriend won't find out….Come on baby" Tanya cooed.

Wait. A couple weeks ago. That was when Jake came by. That was at the beginning of the week. After that we were together every night. That could only mean that she's talking about the night he left….

I felt tear starting to well up in my eyes. Edward looked at me frantically, realizing that I had realized what she was saying. I grabbed my bag off of the floor. Edward reaches his hand across the table to take my hand but I pulled it away. I stood up and for a second just looked at him. Edward was looking at me with a frantic look on his face with a drunken Tanya in his lap.

"Bella please it's not what you think." Edward says, trying to pry Tanya off of him.

I felt the tears start of fall and I couldn't take it. I turned and walked away, shoving through people to get out of the club and get some air.

Now I understand why Edward walked away. It's too much. There are so many things going on in your head. You can barely breathe. Your head is spinning and you don't want to hear any apologies or reasons. You just want to get out.

When I got outside I quickly realized that I couldn't be walking around the streets alone that this time of night. But I knew I couldn't go home. Alice's apartment was too far away. Then I remembered Rosalie. She had told me where she lived once at work and that if I ever needed anything, I shouldn't hesitate to just come over. Walked a few blocks to where I knew I could easily find a cab and pulled out my cell phone. I went into my notes and pulled up Rosalie's address as I hailed a cab.

Hey guys! So sorry this chapter is kind of short.

Leave me some love please :)
