FRIENDS AND LOVERS

EDWARD

Monday, October 11th

"So Emmet, ready to go" I asked to my brother.

"Yep." He said popping the 'p'.Everything is in the Porsche. I certainly enjoyed my time here. And this girl Rosalie. What a woman? ...Jesus-Christ, I have to see her again. Never met a girl like this one before. "

"Hey asshole!" I noticed. The way the two of you were looking at each other. I am not blind bro. Let's say that you are not indifferent to her at all. And did you see Alice and Jasper yesterday? …Seemed to me that they enjoyed each other company…"

"Yes. That Jasper is a hell of a nice guy."

"So Emmett, you have a basketball game tomorrow with your students?

"Yes…I am sure we will win. Three more teams to play against this week. Sure we will beat all of them. Another trophy for the school…"

"You are such a self-confident jerk." And I am sure your team will win." I added laughing.

"You know me Eddie." Don't like to lose…And I am the best."

"Bastard…That ego you have…Worst than mine…"Let's see now how you will deal with Rosie. She is quite independent. Maybe, this time you will have to show her all of your talents and your best sides."

"Hey…I've already showed her some of my best sides…and more to come. I already have her cell number…I like her a lot."

"Yes…your best sides…and more to come…You want to show her how talented you are with your cock…Fucking bastard"

"No problem with my cock. And don't worry; this is not only a question of fucking her here. I told you. I like her. She is a great girl".

"So what about Halloween? Do you think you can make it to New-York? Marcus would be really pleased if you come". There will be a big party at his restaurant". Emmett added.

"Yes, I think we all can go. We have a 'semaine de lecture' at school. So, we don't have any classes from November 2nd to November 8th. And Halloween is on Saturday." Jasper wants to come too, and Rosalie is going to ask the school board if she can take the week off as well". So we could drive to New-York on Saturday, and then, on Monday fly to Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving in USA. I want mom and dad to meet my Bella." I know Alice asked Jasper to come to New-York and Pittsburgh…and well I am sure you want Rosie there too."

"Yes…I know Carlisle and Esme expect you and they are impatient to meet Bella. Just hoped Rosalie can make it too. It would be great."

"So time to go Edward. I'll just go inside, say my good-bye to everyone, and get Alice."

I followed Emmett inside the condo. Alice was on the phone talking to Jasper…interesting…

Rosalie was talking with Bella. Her face all flushes and blushes. Pretty damn sure she was talking about Emmett.

Charlie and Robert were playing chess. Very much concentrated on their game.

Emmett asked Rosalie to follow him in the guest room. He certainly wanted to say a special good-bye to her. Fifteen minutes later, they came in the living-room. Both of their faces were deep crimson and Rosalie's hair was quite messy. I winked at both of them. My brother punched me on the arm, grabbed me in a bear hug and swung me around in a circle. …Damn him…

He kissed everybody, giving them a squeeze, and doing his little show as usual.

I kissed Alice and hugged her. Then, they left.

I had to drive Rob and Charlie at the airport at 1:00.

They finished their game and it was time to go.

Rosalie went back to her condo and Bella and I went in the SUV to drive Rob and Charlie to the airport.

My Bella was a bit sad to have to leave her dad. She was pretty much silent all the way along.

At 12:30 we were at the gate. I shook hands with Robert and Charlie. Bella hugged her dad and kissed Robert.

Then they went through the gate and disappeared. I saw that my girl was crying, tears falling on her cheeks.

I hugged and kissed her.

"I know you are going to miss your dad, love. But you will see him soon. He promised to come back in November and then we will go to Forks in December during Christmas holidays." Don't be sad my love. I am here mon amour."

"Je sais Edward….je sais…I know Edward…I know….but I react the same way, every time I have to leave my dad. I love him so much".

"I know that, amour." Come my love. Let's go take a coffee at Tim Horton."

I drove back to Laval, stopped at the Tim Horton and then we were back at the condo.

Charlotte, my manager called in the afternoon. She informed me that it was time to give the media some fresh news about Bella's and I relationship. It was time to make it public. She had organized everything.

On Friday October 23rd, we would be invited on a late show. There would be a few French-Canadian and American reporters on the show as well. All the questions the interviewer and the reporters would ask, would be scrutinized by Alliance Productions because Charlotte did not want us to be embarrassed. But there would be some questions about our relationship. Then, on Saturday the 24th, we would participate in 'Opération Enfant Espoir', which was a telethon organized to raise funds for kids fighting against leukemia.

I told Charlotte that I was going to ask Isabella if she was feeling okay with that. I was afraid that due to the fact Bella's mother died because of that same sickness, it would be very hard for her.

As soon as I hung up, I talked to Bella.

And she accepted. She was willing to speak about her own mother's battle and to encourage all those kids and their parents to fight and never lose faith.

That was my girl. My generous and caring Bella. God…How I loved this woman.

I called Charlotte back and told her that Isabella would like to give her own account on her mother's death and that I was ready to sing a song for all those kids. She was really happy and she would contact the telethon's organizers, to allow them to give us a slot in the schedule for my performance and for Isabella's speech…And we would answer the telephone as well.

The afternoon and the evening flew fast. We studied, did our homework, watched a movie and ate the turkey left-over.

Soon it was time to take a shower and go to bed. We made love…It was so soft, so pure. Our bodies fitting so well…Our mind, our soul, our heart, our skin so deeply connected. Isabella exploring and kissing my hair, my face, my chest, my abdomen, my legs; touching my nose, my mouth, my lips, my neck, my arms…grazing every part of me with such delicate gestures. She took my erection in her mouth, sucking my tip and licking my cock so smoothly…I came into her mouth…moaning and panting.

"Oh…Bella…my Bella…ummm….Tu es si merveilleuse…si magnifique, ma chérie….tu es si belle…Je t'aime…"-You are so marvellous…so magnificent, my darling…you are so beautiful…I love you...-Je t'adore…I adore you.

Then I took her, my cock slowly stroking, pushing and pulling into her entrance. Telling her, at every move I was getting deeper inside her walls, how much I loved her, how beautiful she was, how adorable she was. I rubbed her clit with my wet head, licking and sucking her nipples, caressing her breasts and drawing circles around the tips, kissing her collar bones, her mouth, tasting her wet lips, sucking her bottom lip, tugging her earlobe and kissing her neck and then again, my tongue and my mouth sucking, nibbling and licking her oh-so beautiful erected nipples.

"Oh….God Edward…Je t'aime…Je t'aime tellement….-I love you….I love you so much…Je viens…n'arrête pas…s'il-te plait…''-I am coming…don't stop…please…-

I went back into her, now slamming into her walls more vigorously, back and forth…in and out…pulling and pushing harder, my mouth still sucking her nipples, one after the other one.

"Oh…Fuck…Fuck…Bella"

"Let it go Edward…Let it go…So fucking good…" Je viens…I am coming…"

And we both reached our second orgasm at the same time. Waves of utterly warm and intense pleasure knocking both of us breathless, panting and moaning…The tremor of our climax astonishing us with its own force. I've never been loved this way…I've never loved this way. With the other girls, it was just physical. But with my Isabella, it was spiritual and physical. Bella was my flesh. She was my heart. She was my soul. She was my spirit. She was my life…And I knew I was all her…

BELLA

Saturday, October 24th

I was so damn fucking nervous. My speech was well prepared, but talking to all these kids, their parents and the audience was really freaking me out. Edward was trying to calm me, telling me that everything was going to be fine, brushing my lips with his own and whispering "Je t'aime mon amour." Je suis avec toi." I love you my love. I am with you.

The days at school slipped by fast. I did not see the weeks. We learned a lot, and were almost speaking French all the time we were in school. It was still awkward with Embry. I did not like the way he was looking at me with his puppy eyes and his hangdog look.

I was talking to Embry but I was not at ease with him. Edward clearly avoided him. Apart from this situation, every thing was fine. Jasper was always with us and talking a lot about Alice. He would come with us for Halloween in New-York and for Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh. Rosalie would come with us too, her employer allowing her to take the week off.

On Friday the 23rd, we participated at the late show 'Vie de Star' at TVA. It went well. The interviewer was really nice and the questions we had to answer were not that embarrassing. The interview was both in French and English.

Edward introduced me as his girlfriend and made it clear that he was not single anymore.

That I was in his life…That I was his life….C'est mon amour…Ma Bella…La femme de ma vie…She is my love…My Bella…The girl of my life.

The interviewer asked where we met and how long we've been together. We both avoided to talk about our real first encounter and told him that we met in the French classes.

He asked me what was my job, if I had problems dealing with Edward's fame and if I was jealous of his fans.

I answered every question; I was working with fashion designers and I was certainly not jealous of my boyfriend's fans. He was gorgeous and sexy as hell….and girls had a right to ogle him…as long as they kept their distance…then the interviewer, the reporters and Edward laughed. But I made it clear that Edward was mine now and that I was happy that so many people loved him.

The reporters asked some questions as well, on our private life and on Edward's new project. They asked if they could photograph us and we didn't mind.

But today I was a real bunch of fucking nerves. We arrived at 'La Place Des Jardins' very early in the morning. This was a thirty-six hours telethon, and Edward and I both decided that we would spend twenty-four hours to answer the phone, and helped the organizers. Kids' lives were precious and we wanted to give them some of our time.

I would be the first one to speak. The organizers were encouraging me, feeling my nervousness.

Then it was the time. Edward kissed me and I took my place behind the microphone. An artist introduced me, telling my name and adding I was Edward Cullen's girlfriend. I heard people screaming 'I love you Edward' and 'Je t'aime Isabella' which surprised me a lot, and I heard people applauding.

While I was talking, there was a picture of my mother and me on a very huge screen.

I told all those people that my mother died from leukemia a few years ago. That she never lost faith. How she fought every single day…How strong she was…and then I asked all the people that were watching the telethon to pick up the phones and give. Any amount of money they could give could make the difference for any of those kids. The money for the research was important. Sciences made progress and that we had to help all those kids.

"Soyez généreux…téléphonez et donnez s'il-vous-plaît…Vous pouvez faire la différence… ''

''Be generous…pick up your phones please…You can make the difference…"

And I heard more applause and screaming…I was feeling so emotional…I went back to Edward, tears falling on my face.

EDWARD

God…I was so proud of my girl…She was incredible. I felt so emotional while she was speaking, seeing her and her mom on the big screen. My heart was beating so fast like it was going to swell up and burst through my chest. And the people here…they loved her…The speech…the words…they were so intense…it was so sad when she spoke of her mother's battle against leukemia…and then when she asked the Canadians to be generous and to give…then I started to cry…That girl…that so perfect girl was in my life and she loved me…There was not a day in my life I wouldn't worship her enough…not a day in my life I would forget to thank God to have put this woman in my life…

She came back to me, crying and I was crying too.

I hugged her, my arms snaked around her waist.

"Je t'aime tellement Isabella. Je suis si fière de toi. ''

''I love you so much Isabella. I am so proud of you.''

"I love you too Edward. You don't know how much I love you."

"I am going to sing for you Bella and for all of those kids and their parents."

Then it was my turn. The song I chose was for my Bella and for all those kids who were fighting against leukemia...because she was my sun and those kids were their parents' sun.

I took place behind the piano. A comedian introduced me and I heard screaming and applause.

And I began to sing…Ryan Dan 'Like the sun'

I tried to hide from you but I failed

I tried to lie to you but how I failed

And even in my darkest time

You gave me light

I never knew this kind of love

Could feel so right

When I'm in your arms

I find myself believe it

We could be anywhere

So I can keep on dreaming

Whenever you're close to me

You're like the sun

You feel like the sun

Every day you're telling me

I am the one

I am the one that makes you shine

And I know

Whenever you want me too, I'll go

And even when you're not with me

I feel you there

I only have to look and see

And I'll know where

When I'm holding you

The world can stop its turning

You're always going to pull me through

And I won't be returning

Whenever you're close to me

You're like the sun

You feel like the sun

Everyday you're telling me

I am the one

I am the one that makes you shine

You're like the sun

You keep me warm

You're telling me

When I'm in your arms

We can be anywhere

We can be anywhere.

You're like the sun

You're like the sun.

Then I heard more screaming and more applause. I let the audience time to calm down. I thanked them and asked them to be generous. Children were our future and we had to help sciences to find remedies to cure all those kids who were fighting against cancer.

"Please pick up your phones…-Soyez généreux…Faites sonner les téléphones…-Be generous…Let's hear those phones…"

BELLA

Edward was in my arms now, crying. He was hugging me so tight. I knew all those words were meant for me. For me and for my mother…For me and my dad. For all those kids and their parents…For me and Edward…I was his sun and he was mine.

We finally stayed thirty-six hours. We waited till the end of the telethon, wanting to give all the time we could, answering the telephones. They raised five millions and two hundred dollars. This was the best amount for the past three years.

The organizers thanked us. We went back to the condo, exhausted but so happy…with the promise we would be back next year.

Eleven hours later, we were back to school. Everybody in the class saw us at the telethon. They all congratulated us, even Embry, and James began the lesson.

****

The week went by…Time flew so fast…Rosalie came to the condo, almost every night. Jasper came too…We ate, drank, studied and planned our holidays in New-York and Pittsburgh. Alice was in Jasper's conversation and Emmett was in Rosalie's…

Then the morning we had to leave for New-York arrived. There was no need to stay and rent a room at the hotel. I would stay at Edward's apartment, as well as Alice and Jasper. Emmett and Rosalie would stay at Jessica's house. There were two bedrooms and Jess was living with Jake now.

We began to pack the SUV very early in the morning. The Halloween party was only at 8:00 and we would be in New-York in the afternoon. The theme was 'A horror night'… Edward would be a vampire, with fangs, fake blood, black pants, a white shirt and a black cape. I would be a sexy night witch with a long, black tight fit dress, low-cut at the back and a very deep plunging neckline but with a very mysterious and angelic face…a sort of beautiful Cruella…from the one hundred and one Dalmatian movie- thanks to Alice who didn't want me to be an ugly witch- and who wanted to make-up my face… Jasper would be a kind of Frankenstein and Rosalie chose a costume…a she-devil…but the dress was so short and sexy…I bet Emmett would go crazy trying to catch her all the night long.

Finally, the SUV was packed. Jesus-Christ, Rosie had so many luggage…I thought there was not a single clothes left in her condo. She brought ten pairs of shoes for a single week…and all the purses matching the shoes. But Rosalie was Rosalie and she needed all those things.

Then we were all in the SUV…The trunk fully packed and backpacks on our knees too…I mean…Rosalie's backpacks.

The trip was fun. Each one, at our turn, driving the SUV, listening to music, singing, talking and laughing a lot.

We stopped after three hours to eat at a snack-bar, which was located halfway from New-York.

At 3:00 we were in New-York. We made a stop at Jake's house to get a key for Rosalie. Emmett was already supposed to be at Jessica's house but as I was not sure, I decided it was better that she had her own key.

I talked with Jess and Jake and introduced them to Edward whom they already known…my famous boyfriend was famous…and then I introduced Rosie and Jasper. Jess and Jake would be at the party as well, so they would have the time to get acquainted tonight.

We dropped Rosalie at Jessica's house and Emmett was already there, obviously waiting for Rosie.

Emmett did as usual. As soon as he saw Edward, he hugged him, pinched his cheeks and spun him in the air like a puppet. Then it was my turn; kisses, hands in my hair, swirls and hugs…he punched Jasper on the shoulder, ran his fingers in his hair and kissed him on the cheeks…and Rosalie….well…I thought she was hyper-ventilating…near a heart-attack…so red….and he was hugging her so tight and kissed her directly on the mouth…and just not a light kiss…Jesus…never saw a guy so exuberant in my life…

That guy was fucking happy…a real fucking fool…I bet those two were not going to sleep apart tonight…

Then we were on the way to Edward's apartment. He decided to stop at the liquor store to buy beers and a bottle of wine, and at the convenience store, to get a bag of chips and a bag of pretzels.

I loved Edward's apartment. It was not as spacious as the condo in Laval but it was nice and clean…I guessed it was not always that tidy…because I knew Edward, but I noticed that he was making efforts to be less untidy since the first time I really met him at his condo.

Alice was already there, obviously waiting for us. She told Edward that she had the double of the key from Marcus.

"So how are you gang? Really happy to see you." Alice said, hugging and kissing us.

"Great" I answered." Happy to be here Al" "So are you ready for tonight? What will you wear?"

"Something similar to the cat woman…Remember that movie with Halle Berry..."

"Oh! Yes…Edward added…It will fit you so well. My sister in black leather…tight-fit to the skin…I certainly know Jasper will appreciate you wearing that outfit…Right Jazz?"

"Your sister is always beautiful". Jasper added…his face, now, red as a beet.

"Stop the teasing Edward…You are embarrassing Jasper…When you will see your Bella…well, I am sure you will be panting like a fucking dog…"

"Now Alice…please don't put too much…"It is supposed to be horror…" I added laughing this time.

"Leave it to me Bella"…No way, you will be ugly. Horror can be sexy…Don't you know that?" she retorted, winking at Edward.

"Yep, Bella…Leave it to my sister…No need to discuss it. Don't even try to have the last word with her. Even Emmett can't have the last word with her. She is a stubborn, nosey girl."

"Oh! Okay Eddie. Shut the fuck-up…You bought wine and beer and I am thirsty. So be helpful and come with me in the kitchen. You have guests here…Jesus-Christ…"

"I told you Bella…Sis Alice is bossy…"

And we all laughed…except Alice who was frowning.

They came back with glasses, the bottle of wine and beers. Edward put a bowl of chips on the coffee table and another plate full of pretzels.

Edward and I sat on the carpet…me, sitting in between his legs. He wrapped one arm around my waist, his legs spread and my back tightly pressed on his chest and my ass tightly pressed on an evident hard-on. I smiled, turning my face to see him and he was smirking too…but it was kind of mischievous…like…you-know-what-you-are-doing-to-me-Bella-wait-when-we-will-be-alone-you-will-see-what my-tongue-and-my-mouth-can-do-and-my-cock-too-you-are-torturing-me-now-but-I-will-take-my-revenge.

And as I knew what he was thinking…maybe not…but I knew what I was thinking…I pressed his erection just a bit more.

He murmured in my ear that he loved me, and that it would be my turn tonight to be teased.

Nosey Alice was watching us and was smirking too. Jasper was looking at Alice, so I guessed he didn't notice anything.

Jasper moved a bit. He was now sitting very close to her. Their knees touching. He snaked his arm around her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek…Alice's face brightened up a bit…It was so fucking cute. I guessed Alice realized at that moment that he was not as shy as she first thought he was.

We talked about everything we had on our mind…The telethon…the interview…our lives at school. Alice talked about her job, and the Halloween party at Marcus 'restaurant, and the Thanksgiving at Esme's and Carlisle house. They were waiting for us and she had planned a lot of things to do during our stay in Pittsburgh…so did Emmett…

I was sure as hell, Emmett would have planned something. I began to know him.

Sports of some kind…Just hoping I wouldn't be too ridiculous and that I would not make a real fool of myself. I was not the most coordinated girl on earth. And he better not laughed…If so…what will you do Bella? …the bitchy voice speaking to me…compared to Emmett you are a flea…Did you see the size of that guy? ...he is a bear…you are minuscule, honey... Oh! Okay…shut the fuck-up…Let me concentrate on the conversation now…

Soon it was time to get prepared for the Halloween party. I went with Alice in the guest room and Edward went to his bedroom with Jasper.

Alice began to make up my face. She brushed my hair and twisted it in a bun, leaving strands of hair hanging loosely on my cheeks and on the nape of my neck. She didn't want me to look in the mirror before I was dressed. The long, black dress was magnificent; deep-plunging neckline, and very low cut at the back. It was moulding my breast, my waist and my thighs. It was slit up on the left, showing almost completely one of my thighs.

Then Alice told me that I could check myself in the mirror….Jesus-Christ…I was absolutely stunning. My face paler than usual, my eyes so bright with the eye shadow she used and my lips so fucking red…It gave me a mysterious and mischievous look…the make-up and the dress showing a dark side… so dark and so sexy.

"Oh! My! God! ...Alice… I am fucking perfect…" I love it…"

"I told you Bella…Edward will have a hard time tonight"…Alice emphasizing the word hard…I did it on purpose…She added laughing this time."

"You are so wicked Al…And between you and me…I don't fucking care if he is hard…well…in fact I hope he will be…" A hard vampire…so funny…Hope he will bite me…"

"Wicked yourself Bella…Now wait for me…I want to get dressed too. "

"I don't move…"

Twenty minutes later, she came back; all her skin covered in black leather, her blue eyes now wearing amber contact lenses and part of her face hidden behind a mask. Her lips coloured with a shiny red lip gloss… She was exactly looking like Halle Berry's cat woman…She was the sexiest cat woman I ever saw…

"You are amazing Alice…Truly…Absolutely fucking sexy"

"Now maybe Jasper will have a hard-on as well…I like him Bella…I like him a lot…"

"He is not indifferent to you Al…And with that costume…My God…He will certainly remember this night…"

"Hope he will…I want more than a kiss on the cheek…Okay….Let's go and see the vampire and Frankenstein…" C'mon Bella…"Let's see how the boys react…"

And did they react…Edward's eyes widened and darkened…The green in his eyes so deep, greener than ever…His mouth fell opened and then he closed his lips and I heard a moan…Jesus…I saw him, unleashing the full force of his emerald eyes one me…I saw his eyes lingering on my body so slowly…from head to toe…and he twirled me around in a half circle…I could feel him…staring at my back…The effect this man had on me…I could feel the warmth of his eyes…and the heat and the lust emanating from his body.

Then he grabbed me in his arms, snaking his arms around my waist.

He softly whispered in my ear. His velvet voice enflaming me…" Love…Bella…" Sais-tu l'effet que tu me fais?" –Do you know how you affect me? …"I want you so badly…Je te veux tellement…"

"I want you too Edward" I murmured in his ear…"Later….my love…Plus tard…"

"I didn't know vampires were so sexy…You are a hell of a gorgeous vampire…I can't resist you…Maybe I will allow you to bite me later….You are a fucking tempting blood-sucker…

"I'll do more than bite you love. You know my skills. You'll never be able to forget that night." Edward added with his sexy crooked smile.

"Show off" I retorted, laughing and rolling my eyes. But now we have a party…so let's go"

"Just a moment love" he said, pointing at Alice and Jasper.

"Frankenstein and the cat woman are kissing…just let them finished….."Edward added, still whispering in my ear.

And we wait…at least five minutes…

Then, I cleared my throat.

"Hum…Al and Jazz…don't want to interrupt anything…We have a party tonight… Still want to go…" I said, laughing this time.

"Yeah….sure"…Jasper-Frankenstein answered.

I was sure his face was all red under the green of his make-up. I did not notice Alice's face either but she said it was really hot wearing her leather costume…which I doubted a lot…Jasper was responsible or her sudden heath.

Alice required to reapply her red gloss and Jasper fixed his own black lipstick on his lips and we all walked out to the SUV and Edward drove us to La Santa Fé.

EDWARD

The party was fucking damn well organized; Skeletons, spiders, spider webs, bats, monsters and horrendous ghosts hanging everywhere. The lights were dimly orange, and it gave a cavernous and creepy look to the atmosphere.

I was so happy, seeing Marcus and all the staff. And Marcus was very happy to see us too.

"So Eddie, Isabella. How are you?" How was your trip? I am really glad to see you. Marcus said, kissing us on the cheeks.

"We are fine. The trip was okay. Let me introduce you to Jasper. You already know Alice. Jasper is studying with us. We are in the same class."

"Glad to know you Jasper. Hope you will have a great night. "Marcus said, hugging Jasper and kissing him.

"Hey Alice…You are amazing. A very sexy cat woman. "

"Thanks Marcus. There are a lot of people here tonight."

"Yeah Alice…There will be more…Pretty happy about that…Hope you will all enjoy yourselves. Your brother is already here with a magnificent blond woman."

"Oh! Emmett is already here…and the girl…yes…Rosalie…She is living in Laval. She is Edward's and Bella's neighbour, and their friend as well. My brother is quite attracted to her. "

"Certainly noticed that…" The way he was hugging her when he introduced her to me…My God…thought she was having trouble breathing."

"You know Emmett…" He is utterly affectionate." I added laughing.

"Yes Eddie…I know your brother…He is quite exuberant."

"Well, Edward…guys, ladies…follow me. I am sure you want something to drink." I'll send Lauren to take your order.

"Okay, Marcus…Come my love." I said to Bella.

Emmett was already at the table. Rosalie, sitting very closed to him. He wore a leopard costume….Fuck….he was dressed as a caveman…not horrendous at all. The costume was hilarious…Jesus-Christ…he looked like Fred Flintstone. I burst in laughter, as soon as I saw him.

"Hey fucking asshole." Emmett said. Are you laughing at me?"

"You are fucking ridiculous." And it suits you so well…A caveman…Ha! Ha! ..."

"Hey…Look at yourself…Damn bloodsucker…You are not better…At least, Isabella, Rosalie and Alice are sexy…And Jasper…Frankenstein… sorry guys…but I am not the only one ridiculous here."

"Oh! Okay Emmett…you are cute…I added, winking at him.

He didn't answer anything. He just growled. And I was laughing even more.

Lauren went to our table and asked us what we would like to drink.

I asked for a 'vampire cocktail. Isabella took a 'werewolf'. Emmett chose a 'baby's bottom…fucking jerk…Rosie took an 'El Diablo'. Alice and Jasper ordered a 'Kiss in the dark'.

Then, Isabella's friends came to our table. She introduced us to them. I already knew Angela and Carmen. I met Jake and Jess in the afternoon. Jake was a very tall guy. He was charming and very funny. Jessica was very nice too and very beautiful. They all were great people.

The place was absolutely crowded; more vampires, Draculas, zombies, hideous creatures, living dead, gothic personages and ghosts. The buffet was exquisite, the drinks fabulous and the music, loud and entertaining.

We danced a lot, talked a lot and laughed a lot.

At a moment, Isabella went to the washroom and she was not coming back. Ten, fifteen, twenty minutes…What the hell was going on?

I went to fetch her. Then I saw a tall guy who was tightly holding her. And there were two other guys on her sides.

What the fuck was going on? I moved toward the guys, very furious, jealousy hitting me full force.

"Hey…who are you? What are you doing" I asked the guy who was holding Bella, evidently against her will.

"What do you want asshole? The guy snapped at me.

I grabbed him by the arm. The two other guys tried to push me.

"I said…Who are you? I yelled at him.

"I am Isabella's ex boyfriend…" I want to talk to her…"

"Well, she doesn't seem to want to speak to you. And I am her boyfriend. So, back off right now. Do you understand? Don't touch her."

I was all anger and violence. Jake, Jasper and Emmet were behind me now.

"What's going on here?" Emmett asked.

"That guy is Bella's ex boyfriend." I retorted back in a very aggressive voice.

"Okay calm down Eddie". Emmett added. "And guys…I think you better leave this place right now. Let me escort you outside. We don't want to make a scene here. "

Emmett strongly grabbed the ex-boyfriend by the arm. Jasper and Jacob did the same thing with the two other guys.

I was now near Isabella, hugging her. She was shaking. Her teeth chattering.

"Are you okay love?" Did he touch you?" Talk to me Bella".

"He tried to kiss me. I am so sorry…I am so sorry."

"Don't apology honey. I am going to kill him. The fucking bastard."

"No…no Edward…Please, stay here. They are drunk." Don't go…please…"

"Okay, love…just breathe…calm down…"

I kissed her and rubbed her back.

I told her that I was here…nobody would ever hurt her.

"Je t'aime bébé. Relaxe maintenant. are gone."

I love you baby. Calm down now. Breathe.

"Do you want to go love?"

"No Edward. I would like to stay. I didn't have time to really talk to Angie and Jess. I am calmer now. Let's go and enjoy the rest of the evening. Let's forget about that shit."

"Okay, come my love. Let's have another drink and see your friends."

I walked to the bar, holding Bella, my arm on the small of her back. I ordered the drinks and talked to Marcus about what happened near the washroom. Those three fucking assholes would not come back to La Santa Fé…ever…
