A/N
This is like the biggest ego boost! IDK about everyone else but I'm really picky about the Fan Fics I read so to have so many people add me to their favorites and story alerts so soon really means a lot to me, thanks everyone!
This Chapter is dedicated to Kerry Hale, pen2paper93, and Navygirl14. Thank you sooooooo much for the awesome reviews and support! The pressures on, I hope I don't disappoint.
I'm trying to crank out as much as I can before I go on vacation next week. Again, don't expect back to back updates all the time, but I'll try my best to keep cranking them out ASAP.
With that said…
Picking up from EPOV when the "crew" arrives at the party…

Ch3: Late At Night
EPOV
Friday night. It's been more than 24 hours since Alice had told she was back. I haven't been able to think about anything else.
10 pm. Lucy, my Aston Martin, purred to life. "hooooonnnnk"
I woke the same as
any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the
day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling
heads
The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggars
change
And gave it to the rich
I turned up the stereo, Soundgarden, Good song. What the fuck is taking her so long; she knows how I hate waiting. Glove compartment, nothing, center counsel, nothing, hidden change compartment YES! My last little bit of pick me up.
"Hello gorgeous"
I opened the small tube and used the little scoop to lift the powder to my nose. Right side (sniff). That'll last till Adam gets there with some new shit. Fuck Tyler, Adam has better shit anyways. 10:05 (HOOOOOONKKKK) Alice seriously let's fucking go! She's waiting.
I'm nervous, fuck, I'm never nervous…she's probably nothing like I remember, a letdown, like most things. But, still my curiosity was getting the best of me. 10:10
"Fucking finally!" Alice, my best friend Jasper, and his step sister Rosalie finally made their way to the garage.
"Oh don't get your panties in a twist lover boy, she probably doesn't even remember who you are" Rosalie laughed as she climbed into the back seat with Alice. She's such a bitch sometimes.
"I have no idea who or what you're referring to…and watch the leather" I'll be pissed if they fuck up my interior, what the hell do they think this is some shitty BMW? We drove from under the car port and down the hill to the gate separating our property from the rest of Kirkland. Emmett's house is only 3 mansions down, but I don't fucking walk. Time, 10:14 we parked and the girls hoped out of the back over the side.
"Hey slut what the fuck did I say about my leather?"
"OOO pot kettle black, Jessica!" She yelled over her shoulder. I swear to god if she weren't fucking HOT, I would have pitched her ass out a long time ago. With that they sauntered up to the door holding hands, a little trick they use to keep guys eating out of the palm of their hands, brilliant I must say.
I lit a cigarette and took a puff.
"Uh yeah, got it. I said I got…just fucking get here already douche-bag…yeah well fuck you very much too" Jasper hung up his phone; we still sat in the car in the front of the house, the valet waiting for us to move.
"So" I handed the cigarette to Jasper
"So, (puff) he's on his way, he said he'll meet us inside. (puff) 1G ($1000)" Jasper handed back the cigarette.
"Done! Well darling shall we" I took another drag, and gave him a smile.
"Well hell sugar tits when you look at me like that" Jasper joked, we take nothing seriously, fucking life of privilege. I held the cigarette with my lips in order to pull out my wallet.
"Keys, tip" I handed the valet $300 and the keys to my Lucy. We headed for the door; the girls had just stepped inside. We found them in the foyer with Emmett.
"Edward! Dude what the fuck you guys were supposed to be here like 20 minutes ago."
"Oh Em, you can't rush perfection" Rose said as she dazzled Emmett by placing her index finger on his chest and sliding it down to his belt buckle. His eyes got dark and he looked as though he were gonna throw her down right there and take her sweet little ass from behind. I chuckled. They've been fucking for about a month now. SFS Snort Fuck and Spend, that's all there is to in our world.
"So where is she?" Alice bounced up and down with anticipation. I felt a growl rumble in my chest as I caught Jasper checking out her tits. My sister's no angel but I'd prefer not to know about her "doings" and "cumings" especially with my best friend who I know for a fact was not with Alice last night.
Emmett shook his head and fell out of Rosalie's spell. He looked past the dance floor over to the bar, I followed his gaze. There she was. I would know that soft brown hair anywhere. She was molesting the bar and bobbing her head to the music. I could tell from here that I had been wrong. Not a letdown.
"Bella!" Emmett yelled. She met my eyes and then quickly looked away. What does that mean? What was going on in that pretty little head of hers? After making her way through the crowd she was there in front of me. I wanted to reach out and stroke her soft looking skin. Suck on those ruby red lips. Get lost in her creamy white thighs that peeked out from under her little skirt.
"Oh my gosh Bella, it's so wonderful to see it you, isn't it Edward?" I vaguely heard Alice say my name. I was lost in the beauty of the sex goddess in front of me.
"Mmm" I bet she tastes exquisite. Alice nudged me out of my trance.
"Yes, Bella, it's nice to see you" That was all my mind could put together to say.
"Well I need a drink! Rose?" Alice sang and held her hand out to Rose. The two of them sauntered off. Bella had a look on her face I couldn't quite place. It was a mixture of sorrow, longing, lust, and disappointment. I would give anything to just sit and watch her pounder and make faces for the rest of my life. I feelt light headed, breath you jack ass, fuck, she's just a girl. But she's not, she's everything.
"Hey, there's Adam" Jasper spoke out interrupting my thoughts. "He's um got something for us" He smiled slyly; I gave a slight low chuckle, Bella looked confused. "Come on Eddie boy, the party awaits" We left her there with Emmett and went to meet Adam. Business first, then I find her and figure out just how well she remembers me.
"You got my cash?"
"I'm sorry did I miss the part about slumming it? Who the fuck do you think I am, of course I have the cash, bitch" I joked. Adam and Jasper both laughed as he held up two tubes of prime cute coke straight from the source, no middle man. I gave him $1200 for good measure, and as a token of my appreciation.
"Sir, a pleasure as always" Jasper bowed like a southern gentlemen.
I looked back at the foyer but she wasn't there. She was making her way up the stairs.
"Now where is she off too?" I said to myself.
"Who?" Jasper caught me. "Come on lets go try out our new acquisitions." He smirked.
"Um go ahead man, I'll catch up" I followed her with my eyes as she swished her luscious little hips up the stairs. My body followed, my mind was no longer running this show. I watched through the door while she made her way over to the piano bench and sat. She placed one delicate hand on the keys and taped down lightly.
"Do you play?" My voice came out low and husky. I almost didn't recognize it myself.
"Um no, not piano any way" She speaks. She kept her head down. Maybe she doesn't want to be bothered. I should just leave her alone.
"May I" Fuck, again with the body over mind. My feet walked me into the room.
"By all means" She seductively said. I felt my pants tighten. I sat next to her on the bench
"Hi" was all I could manage. I thought she was playing hard to get, but when I looked at her I was slapped by the sadness drawn across her beautiful face. This gorgeous girl should never be sad. Whatever it is, I have to make her feel better.
"Hi back" her voice rang clear as bell. She sounded like herself just older, sexier, with a hint of sorrow. I put my hands on the keys and tried to make her laugh by pounding out a string of jazzy notes. She didn't move. I needed something else, something more something to make her remember who I am and what we had all those years ago. My fingers took over and my voice followed…
i close my door at
night
but they get in all right
and she turns on the light
i
held her hands so tight
'cause words don't come out right
and
she sees things at night
me, i'm closer to the door
i don't
get scared no more
but i don't know the score
I played this for her once. It was late at night and Alice and I spent the night at Emmett's as we often did when our parents went out together. Bella was there too, she had sad eyes from the moment she walked in the door. That was the day her parents told her about the divorce. Alice and Emmett were asleep along with the nanny who had removed her hearing aid. She had her own bedroom at the McCarty's and had gone to bed already, I was wide awake. I couldn't get her big brown sad eyes out of my head. I decided to get up and go check on her, make sure she got to sleep ok and maybe watch my little angel sleep for a while. I popped my head in and heard a soft noise sound from the bed. "Bella" I whispered. She didn't say anything, she just cried. 'What could I do to make it better' I thought. I remembered a song we had heard early that week when her and Alice where watching reruns of "My So Called Life". She kept humming it so I made myself learn it right away. Late At Night by Buffalo Tom. "Come on" I whispered as I extended my hand to her. She took it without a word and followed me out the door, down the hall and into the music room. I shut the door behind us and pulled her over to the piano bench where we both sat down side by side. I was too nervous to look at her so I just put my hands to the keys and began to play and sing for her.
If i could hold them
in my hand
i'd make them understand
i'm not a haunted mind
i'm
not a thoughtless kind
if i could put them in a jar
i know
they wouldn't scar
i'd do it if i could
i hope you know i
would
i close my door at night
but she gets in all right
so
i turn on the light
i held her hand too tight
too hard to
make it right
so i could sleep at night
if i could hold
them in my hand
i'd make them understand
i'm not a haunted
mind
i'm not a thoughtless kind
if i could put them in a
jar
i know they wouldn't scar
i'd do it if i could
i hope
you know i would
I sang the last line and the song came to a close. I looked over at her and her eyes were closed. Say something Bella, please anything. She was silent and unmoving.
"Bella" I whispered. It unintentionally escaped my lips. She had moved her hair over to one side leaving her soft and delicious looking neck exposed. I leaned in closer, she smelled like strawberries and freesia. I couldn't help myself, I had to taste her. I let my lips brush against her neck. I heard and felt her breath hitch in response and then she shivered. She continued to look at the piano as my head turned slightly to refocus on her luscious lips I was about to take them into my mouth when…
"MY GOSH! I can't believe she showed her face here! What-a-loser" (a/n said like Chelsea Lately)
Alice. I sighed into her neck. Our precious moment was gone. I should get out of here before twiddle dee and twiddle wasted stumble their asses in and embarrass me. Until the next moment (sigh). I stood and walked out of the room. Alice grabbed my arm as I tried to pass, partly to hold her up and partly to stop me.
"Brother Dear, Tyler would like a word with you" I nodded "sister dear" and continued on my way
("Mi Bella Mi Amore!, Je t'aime my silly Bella")
Fucking Tyler, that dick shouldn't even be here.
"Edward! You mother fucker, get your fucking ass down here!" I pulled out a cigarette and lit it as I walked over with a smile on my face. I couldn't help but laugh at how worked up this douche was.
"Hello Princess, to what do I owe this honor" fucking fag.
"You fucking know Cullen! What the fuck!?" Security came at that moment to restrain him. Jasper and Emmett were behind me ready to pounce if necessary, but I had it under control. He knows what he did and he knew his girl was a nasty slut when he got involved with that dumb bitch. Once more he knew better then to fuck with me. I've never been in a fight, never had to be, I can handle my shit without a fist.
"AHAHAHAHAH"
I looked behind me to find Rose and Alice laughing their asses off as Tyler got removed from the property. Bella just stood there wide eyed and innocent. Her mouth hung slightly open. Fuck! I hope that didn't scare her. Alice always said my "extracurricular actives" would come back to bite me in the ass. At that moment I felt the weight of them all tumble down on me.
"Well sugar I believe we have an appointment with Dr. feel good" Jasper winked at the girls. Alice rolled her eyes
"ooo I'm coming!" Rose called out.
"Hey skank we were taking shots" Alice pouted. She usually doesn't partake in our "activates". Neither does Em, but Rosalie usually did. Jasper turned and headed towards the downstairs den with Rose following close behind.
"What's going on?" Bella asked as she looked back and forth between me and Alice. Shit we just had a perfect moment. I'm not ready for her to know everything yet. I know I can't prevent her from hearing things, but I just want, no I need one night. Tonight, just one night. Alice must have seen the pleading in my eyes.
"Um, nothing sweetie. Come on Em lets go take some shots!" she yelled the last part. Bella laughed at her enthusiasm, and the three of them headed towards the bar. Note to self, buy Alice something sparkly tomorrow, I owe her my life right now.
BPOV
Alice grabbed Emmett and me by the hand and dragged us through the dance floor over to the bar.
"Hey sexy bartender!" (said like Long duck dong in 16 candles) Alice cooed "6 shots of Patron Tekill-ya my good man"
What the…
"6 Alice? There's only 3 of us" She winked at me. Alice and I quickly fell back into step with our friendship. It was like no time had passed and we knew each other our whole lives.
"Thank you Sir!" she said to Laurent
"Anything for my Alice" he winked back at her. I figured he must bartend quite often for the Kirkland crowd. I stared at the 2 shot glasses in front of me. She has got to be f*ing kidding me!
"Silly Bella! Just knock'em back, straight down your throat"
"Bottoms up Bells" Emmett lifted up his first shot glass. After salting my hand and grabbing my lime, Alice and I held our shots up too "bottoms up" we both said. OH! SHIT-FUCK! It burns! AHHHH! Lime….Fucking hell!
"You ok ma bell?" She laughed. Emmett chuckled too; I couldn't help but join them.
"Yup! (cough)" was all I could say. In no time I had a second lime in my hand and salt on my wrist.
"This beat is sick, let me take a ride on your disco stick" Alice sang along as she dropped it low and took it back up on the words "disco stick"
"Alright let's do this" I smiled.
"Fuck ya! Now that's the Spirit!" Emmett yelled.
"To old friends" Alice toasted. I sucked in, lick the salt, throw the shot, take the lime…I must be wasted because that second one wasn't that bad. The music changed to Snoop Doggs "Aint No Fun" Alice squealed with delight.
"She has a thing for dirty rap songs" Emmett explained.
"Ahhhh" I bobbed along to the beat
"This is DJ Eazy Dick, on the station that slaps you across your fat ass, with a fat dick, When I met you last night baby" She sang out. On "baby" Emmett put his hand out for Alice to grab. She used it as leverage to shimmy her way up onto the bar.
"Before you opened up your gap I had respect for ya lady But now I take it all back Cause you gave me all your pussy And ya even licked my balls" She continued. I watched in amazement, Alice always was fearless.
"Mi Bella! Get your cute little ass up here with me"
"Um no Alice! Don't you remember how klutzy I am, no way!"
"Cause it aint no fuuunnnn if Alice can't haaaaavvvveee none!" She kept singing in her own little world.
"Awe come on. I'll catch you if you fall" The voice of sex on legs sounded behind me. I turned around to see Edward leaning against the bar. His eyes looked different, darker and a bit glazed over. I raised my Eyebrow at him.
"Promise" He had always been there to catch me when we were kids, but so much time has passed. I've suffered through so many let downs and dropped balls in my life. I don't know if it was the alcohol or trusting my instincts about our piano moment but I grabbed on to his waiting hand. A crooked smile played on his lips. I shimmied on up there right next to Alice.
"Yay!" She Squeaked
I didn't know the words but the chorus was pretty easy. I caught on to Alice's slight change in the lyrics and began to sing with her
"It aint to fun if Alice can't haaaaavvvveee none"
I saw Rose and Emmett disappear into the crowd and Jasper came to stand by Edward at the bar right underneath us. Alice "dipped it low" right into Jaspers face. Edward stared up at me his eyes burning a hole right through me. Normally I would hate being stared at but 2 shots of "Tekuill-ya" had empowered me. It made me a better, dare I say sexier dancer. I swayed my hips back and forth and threw my arms into the air, and then I rolled my hips and dropped low sliding back up slowly. The song came to an end. To my surprise I was having a blast until…That same fake chested, bleach blond girl from early came up behind Edward and wrapped her arms around his waist.
What the hell! Lauren. That fucking Bitch! Wait, what? Isabella, where did that come from? Chill, just because you had a moment and he remembered a song doesn't actually mean he wants you. He removed her arm and spun her around to face him. She leaned in and whispered something in his ear. He nodded and she grabbed his hand leading him away back through the foyer to the other side of the house. I watched her saunter along with him tow, I feel sick. Alice must have seen the whole thing because she put a hand on my shoulder. I smiled at her in a 'no big deal, shrug it off' kind of way. Jasper held out his hands and helped Alice down from the bar.
Once she was down he looked back up and winked at me
"Madame"
I held on to his hands and lowered myself off of the bar. I couldn't help it, I stared off into the direction Edward had disappeared too with the hopes that he would reappear. He didn't.
"Lauren is such a crack whore! Really, the girls got problems; she'll suck on anything for a sniff. She should have been shipped off to reha…Oh my gosh Bella I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…"
"S'ok. Don't worry about it, you didn't mean anything by it. And Laruen can suck and snort whatever she wants. I don't know her so what do I care" The room began to spin. Alice managed to confess to her brother's drug use while bringing up my mom all in the span of 20 seconds. That should be a new world record for amount of low blows in such little time. The sad part is that it wasn't my mom that bothered me, it was Edward.
"Hey Laurent 3 shots" Jasper yelled. I looked at him. 3shots? He just smiled and put his arm around me.
"Come on Madame et ma petite, let's turn those frowns upside down!"
I cracked up "did you really just say that? What are we in kindergarten?"
"What of course! Next I'll pull your hair to let you know of my intentions"
"Well, as long as you promise to never steal my green crayon, I guess we can get married"
"Done deal sweetheart!" He handed me a shot, and one to Alice.
"Here's to honor, cause it's better to be honor than off her."
"Amen" Alice chimed, and I shot back my 3rd shot of Tequila.
"One little old me and 2 sweet little things what's a southern gent to do" Alice rolled her eyes
"Southern gent my ass! Dance with me cowboy" They headed off towards the dance floor and waved for me to follow. I refuse to let my crushed dreams about my crush ruin the rest of my night. So I danced. I danced like I've never danced before…mostly because for safety reasons, I had never danced before. Alice and I sandwiched Jasper. Song after song we dipped it low and swayed our hips. She backed her ass into jaspers crotch and grinded against him. Something is obviously going on between them. After countless songs the crowd began to thin and the party wore down. Still no sign of Edward since he disappeared with that Lauren girl, stupid bitch. I had no idea what time it was, but I assumed somewhere between late and morning. Rosalie and Emmett reemerged and began to shoo people out the door. Where the hell had they gone off to for so long?
"So my Darla, how was your first party?"
"Spanky, it was fansastic" I slurred just a little bit. I wasn't gone far enough to get sick, but I was definitely drunk! And then there were 4 + Bella. I could tell the other 4 were about to couple off.
"So um, I'm ready for bed" I gave a horrible fake yawn. "See you guys in the morning"
"It is mornoning!" We all laughed at the obvious. "Maria will be here to make her famous chocolate chip pancakes in the morning Bells" Maria! She's still here. I had an instant flash back of warm and fuzzies from Marie our childhood nanny.
"You didn't tell me Maria still works here!"
"She doesn't, but she'd love to make us pancakes. When I told her you were back she insisted on coming by tomorrow morning" With that I turned and headed up the stairs to my old room and left the other four to their coupling. My old room looked exactly as I remembered it. Baby pink bedding and curtains with a white dresser that had a boy and girl teddy bear sitting on top. It was comforting, the closest thing I ever had to a traditional home. I took off my shirt, skirt, and heels and laid them on top of the dresser. I looked in the closet and pulled out one of my old large t-shirts uncle Trent used to let me sleep in. After pulling it over my head I stumbled over to the bed and crawled in. It was more comfortable then I remembered. I flipped the switch and rolled onto my side facing the wall. The room was nice and dark.
The door cracked open
"Em?" He didn't say anything. I felt him get into the bed and wrap his strong arms around me. Edward. He gently pushed my hair out of the way and began to place kisses along my neck. I felt his arm graze over my breasts on top of the t-shirt as he pulled me closer into him. I felt a live for the first time in years.
"Edward" I whispered with a shaky voice.
"Shhhhh, my Bella. Just sleep" He whispered back. At that moment Lauren, and whatever else Edward has gotten himself into didn't matter. In that moment I felt safe, and loved. I soon let the remains of the alcohol take me off to sleep with his arms still wrapped around me.
I got off the bar and went to find Edward.
"Have you seen Edward" I asked some guy with red hair and plugs in his ears, I think I heard someone call him Adam.
"Check the bathroom sweetheart" I turned to leave and felt Adam wrap his arm around my waste to stop me.
"You know, I think he's a bit 'busy', but uh is there anything I can help you with?"
"No um I just need to…"
"You just need to come with me right now"
"Let me go"
"Come on sweetheart, whatever you were gonna give to Edie boy you can just give it to me" He started kissing my neck. Holding both of my wrists in one hand, Adam used his other to slide under my skirt and dance along the hem of panties.
"LET HER GO ADAM!" A voice from behind me growled.
"Edward!" Adam released me and I turned to run to Edwards's chest. He wrapped his strong safe arms around me. Adam threw his hands up and backed away with a slick grin on his face.
"Wow Cullen, I wasn't doing anything to her she didn't want me to do"
"Oh really it didn't sound that way to me, Why don't you get the fuck out"
"Whatever
man, she aint even worth it" he turned and disappeared down the
hall.
"Edward" I looked up at him and smiled.
"Are you ok?"
"I am now"
"Come on…" I followed him up the stairs and into my room. He shut the door behind us.
"Edward I …"
"Shhh, Bella"
He was looking me in the eyes, looking through me. Slowly he brushed my hair from my face letting his hands rest on my cheek. I placed my hands on his chest and leaned my forehead against his. Eyes closed I lifted my face searching for his lips. I found them. First sweet and delicious the kiss was soft and pure. After a moment I felt him lick my bottom lip asking permission to deepen the kiss. I obliged taking his tongue in my mouth allowing him to explore my teeth, tongue cheeks, any and every part he could reach. Allowing myself to melt into him I moaned as the sensation took over my body. His hands crept down towards the hem of my shirt as he began to attack my neck and collarbone with fast heated kisses. Sucking and biting I couldn't help myself…. "Edward" his name breathlessly escaped my lips…
I jumped up breathing heavy, a pool of moisture stuck between my legs "Edward" I breathed. He wasn't there.
A/N So, what do you think? Review please!!! Next chapter we'll find out what Lauren wanted with Edward and what led him into Bella's room only to leave before she woke up.
