Hours after Claire left the party finally ended. Quil seemed to never returned from dropping off though, which meant he was either roped into reading a bunch of bed time stories to her or that her mom was giving him an earful for being late.

"I am beat," I groaned as we went to get ready for bed. Sam chuckled and pulled me up into his arms.

"Are you going to change?" Sam asked me after a few moments of silence. I mumbled out a yes as I drifted in and out of consciousness. His rumbling laughter in his chest woke me up a bit.

"Okay, im going," I said getting out of his arms.

I changed, combed my hair, washed my face, and brushed my teeth.

"All done," I huffed as I plopped back down on his bed. He chuckled at me as he stripped off his shirt and jeans. He left for a few minutes, leaving me with an empty cold bed. Crawling towards me a few minutes later, I let out a hum of appreciation for his body heat as we snuggled together.

"Wake me up at 10 tomorrow okay?" I asked peeking an eye open. He nodded kissing me softly. Closing the distance between us, I fell asleep snuggled beside him.

Sam called my name, waking me up at the time I asked. Groaning, I rolled over onto my stomach and tried to go back to sleep.

"Up and at 'em babe," he said coming into the bedroom to get me.

"Go away," I groaned out snuggling closer to my pillow. For some reason I was tired. Beyond tired actually. As the room was quiet, I felt content going back to sleep until Sam hovered over me and began kissing my shoulders.

"Sam," I mumbled out as I found his lips distracting.

"Hmm?' he wondered as his hands began to wander.

"Sleep." I commanded. He let out a laugh and lightly nipped at my neck. "No can do babe. I've been up for an hour."

I let out a groan. Something about Sam was that when he was up, he was up for good. He wasn't the man to usually fall back asleep.

"I don't want to get up," I whined. His hands continued to wander which gave me Goosebumps.

"I think I can provide an incentive to get you up," he growled seductively. Moving some hair away, he started giving feathery kisses down my back.

Within minutes I was wide-awake kissing him with passion. So the man was right, he really could provide a way to get me up.

After my 'wake up call' in bed, we headed into the shower together. One of the best things about Sam's house was his shower. Not only was it big but the way the shower sprayed out was perfect too.

We spent quite a while in there; not that I minded. By the time we came out our hands were both wrinkly and it was way past 10. Rushing to get ready, Sam let me be and caused little roadblock as I dashed around his place trying to hurry and leave.

"Bye!" I breathed coming to kiss him. With a tight lip lock, he held my waist and made my body mellow out. I knew what he was doing. I was wound up beyond belief before even getting to work. Only he could calm me down like that.

"Thanks," I smiled with a blush. With one last slow, loving kiss, I left to meet Mandy Moore at the recording studio. (A/N: again, I don't own her or any of these characters)

I made it two minutes early to the studio. Luckily she was still prepping with her manager, so I had some time to talk with the guys running and editing the sounds.

"Hey Bella," Mandy said to me when she was finished. I said my hello's to her and we all waited for her to get in the sound booth. Setting her up with the background music, everyone listened to her voice. I told some of the staff what it should sound like more and then went to go talk through it with Mandy.

We worked on her song for hours, and I helped her with one that she was working on herself. Apparently she rented out the studio times for the whole day, so I was fortunate to have a one on one session with her for most of it.

"Go higher up with your pitch when you hear these words," I said pointing to some of her lyrics. She did what I told her and smiled. "I like that."

I worked with her till around 6. Just as I was finishing up with her manger she came out of the sound box.

"Hey, did you want to go clubbing tonight?" she asked. I looked at her surprised. Usually artists didn't want much to do with me after I helped them with a song, but she seemed in no rush to leave Seattle.

"Sure," I replied hesitantly. "Think I could bring some friends?"

She nodded excitedly. "Of course. The more the merrier."

I nodded and smiled. This job was the best. Pulling out my phone, I went to dial Sam's number.

"Hey," I called turning back to the artist before I pressed 'call' on my phone. "Why don't you bring that guy you were talking about too? You know, the one you wrote the song for," I said. She blushed and I laughed.

"Oh come on, the title of your song's name is Crush. It couldn't be more obvious than that."

She nodded and bit her lip. "Yea, I guess I'll give him a call."

Grinning to her, I turned back to my phone and called Sam. He picked up on the second ring with the perfect hello.

"Hey baby, what's up?" he asked.

"How do you feel about having you and the Pack come clubbing with me tonight?" I asked. I knew he would be confused, which made me even more excited to tell him the whole story.

"You want to go clubbing?" he asked.

Grinning, I told him the whole story- how Mandy Moore, the Mandy Moore, wanted me to go clubbing with her. Hell, she even wanted me to bring more people along with her.

"Uhh sure. I can ask the guys." He said.

"Leah too," I added. Ever since Leah had turned, she has stepped away from most of our Pack outings. She skips out on our 'family' dinners and never really comes around just to hang. We don't take it offensively. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be the only female wolf, but I still wanted to give her the opportunity to come, especially since her and Cole decided to take a 'break'.

"Okay, I will ask them all. Are you coming home for dinner?" he wondered.

"I think I am going to grab something here." I told him.

"Okay baby," he said. Sealing the final details, I told him I would text him with the rest of the information later when I knew. After hanging up with him, I went back to Mandy and chummed around with her.

Mandy was more humble and uncelebrity like than most of the artists I had encountered. Of course, she just finished her movie 'Walk to Remember' which was a huge hit, which was exciting for her; she had no rush in her schedule to go anywhere.

Her, her manager, staff, and I all went to a small restaurant around Seattle for dinner. It was crazy to see all of these people go wild around her. She signed her autograph at every piece of paper that came her way, along with smiling at every camera in her face. When we finally had the opportunity to leave, we did a little shopping around the streets. I made sure to pick up a new outfit at one of the stores we went to so I had something to change into when we went clubbing.

It was around 8 when we finally decided on our plans. We would go to this new opening of a club called Brock's Basement, where her security would set up a private booth for her and everyone else we knew coming.

As I went into the bathroom to change, I swore to myself I was living a dream. Was I really hanging out with a celebrity? Was I really about to go clubbing with her? Life seriously, could not get any better.

I slipped on my tight black mini skirt and a tight plunge v-neck dark blue sequins cami on top. Putting in some hoop earrings and freshening up my hair and make up, I slipped on a pair of black high heels and was good to go.

Stepping back out to the main lobby, Mandy came out. She wore a tight grey goddess like dress that was one shoulder. It wrapped around her figure perfectly. She carried with her a light pink purse, which matched her high heel shoes.

"You look great," she exclaimed as she walked towards me.

"And you look amazing," I gushed. Her beauty was stunning. Her hair in perfect half back loose girls and her makeup looked liked she walked out of a magazine.

"You ready to go?" she asked. I nodded letting her take the lead. We headed towards her car, which surprisingly was just a Ford Escape. The driver opened the back door for us, which we both politely thanked him for.

"You were expecting something more expensive," she said reading my mind as we took off. I let out an embarrassing laugh and nodded.

"As nice as that sounds, I really don't need it. Plus, this is just a rental," she smiled. We talked a little more as we rode there. I told her whom I invited (and gave her a fair warning of how gorgeous they actually were) and she brought up whom she invited.

"Okay so I called up two guys. There is Shane and I called Trent," she said guiltily as she faced me.

"Both?" I laughed. Mandy and Shane West had 'feelings' for each other after the movie they did together, but neither of them would really go for it. And Trent was a good friend of hers I guess who was starring in a movie with her soon.

"I just didn't know what to do. I like them both. Is that wrong?" she asked.

I shook my head. "Of course not. Its just…surprising. I thought you wanted Shane all to yourself and his focus to be on you."

"I'm hoping it will be," she admitted. "But it was also a great opportunity to call Trent. We have actually been staying in touch unlike Shane, and I don't know, we are getting ready for this new movie together, which is the perfect opportunity to start something with him. And he's so…" she sighed when she couldn't find the words and I let out a small laugh.

"Its okay, I think I get what you mean."

She gave me a grateful look. "You must think I am crazy. Dumping my love life all on you and then taking you and your friends out to go clubbing with me."

"No," I lied. She gave me a look. "Okay maybe a little," I laughed. Her body posture changed and I quickly tried to ease her nerves.

"Look, I'm glad to be more than just a writer for your new single. You're a great person who deserves a great guy. And even though I might not be the greatest girl to go to for advice, I will try and help you in any way that I can."

She smiled at me. "So I'm not too over the top crazy? It's just so hard to actually find time to have a girl type friend around here and you seemed nice enough. I mean you helped me with my music and even stuck around to listen to my other songs…"

"You're not crazy at all," I smiled. We slowed to a stop and quickly got out. The line to the new place was wrapped around the building. Once everyone took a look at who just arrived, they went crazy- pulling out their cameras and shouting Mandy's name. She gave a nice wave and had the bouncer let us in.

"We are waiting on a few people. Send them down when they are here?" she asked the very big and tall bouncer guy. He nodded as she described them to her. With a tug on my arm, a waitress took us to our spot.

"This place is amazing," I said looking all around. We were off to the side in a glass-encased area where we could see the dance floor and the bar.

"Did you want anything?" she asked as someone came to take our drink order. Getting myself a Cosmo, Mandy got a Martini and we sat in the private room waiting for our guys.

Sam and the Pack (the ones who were old enough) stuck out like a sore thumb. Not only were they all tall, buff, dark, and handsome, they didn't seem to be wearing the 'club' like outfits. With jeans and button up shirts on, I laughed as they were walked to us.

"Boys," I smiled out kissing Sam quickly as he led the group.

"Damn Bells," Embry whistled.

"You look nice," I told Jake kissing him on the cheek.

"Leah, wow," I said looking at her. She was wearing tight dark jeans a turquoise halter-top, and a pair of black heels. She gave me a grin, taking my appearance. I said hello to Kim and Sarah also, who were surprisingly looking nice too. Sarah had on some dark jeans; leather boots and an olive green top while Kim modeled a tight, dark jean mini skirt with a deep purple fancy designed shirt and some heels.

"Paul, you might want to close you mouth," I teased to him as he continued to stare. Sam slapped him over the back of the head, which I gave an eye roll to. That wasn't really necessary to Paul.

Jared gave me a nice compliment, kissing my cheek as he stepped towards me to say hello.

"Where's Quil?" I asked.

"Said he couldn't make it. He was with Claire," Jared answered. I knew not to push that topic any further, so I turned back and introduced the famous artist.

Mandy looked stunned a bit, wondering how I knew such hot guys.

"I warned you," I smirked taking a sip of my drink as it arrived. Sam and the rest of the guys ordered a beer, while Leah ordered a Mojito.

"So anyone else coming?" Embry asked.

"We are waiting on some people of Mandy's," I smiled flashing the girl a look. She returned the comment with a nervous smile, biting her lip as she waited for her men to show.

I talked with Leah for a while, both of us laughing at the guys' stares, which we could both easily feel. I thought Sam and Paul were going to burn holes through my body while Embry couldn't seem to take his eyes off of Leah. I think Jared was just more shocked that we were both this dressed up. Never have we worn this type of attire.

"Shane's not coming," she spoke gloomily as she sat back on the couch with Leah and I.

"What? Why?" I asked leaning toward her. Her mood changed for anxious and happy, to a bit disappointed and glum.

"He texted me and said he got tied up in some other things and wouldn't be able to make it." She held the phone in her hand limply and stared at it.

"Well, there is always Trent," I said taking another sip of my drink. Leah sat by me listening to our conversation intently. I'm sure she was confused.

"And speak of the devil himself," I called out looking behind the music artist.

"He's here," Mandy whispered. "He actually came," she breathed. I laughed at the amazement in her voice.

Flashing her a smile, I pushed her to go get him. She stood up; facing the glass window in surprise and Trent noticed her right away. Holding up her hand hesitantly, she gave him the signal to meet her over here.

"Nicely done," I smiled. She looked back over to me with a blush. "Oh my gosh. He's actually here."

Leah and I laughed. She was still shocked he showed up.

"Seems to me like he likes you," Leah spoke up while putting the drink to her lips. Mandy blushed again. The door opened to our private room and immediately she ran over to Trent, who had her in his open arms.

"10 bucks that she ends up with him at the end of the night," Leah spoke to me.

"Oh, I already know that's going to happen," I said with a look. We both smirked when we glanced at the couple. They were lost in their own little world. Clinking our drinks together, we both took a sip and watched the scene unfold.

Mandy introduced us to Trent a few moments later. He was beyond nice-very caring and gentleman like. I could really see why she fell for him. They appeared to be a great couple, and hopefully their movie together would only bring them closer.

Trent also seemed to fit into our little group quite nicely. He joked around with the guys, and made sure to respect their girlfriends. We all had our fun. The DJ soon hollered for all the women to get on the dance floor. Female intuition must have kicked in because all of the girls were giving each other looks.

"Let's go show 'em how it's done," I grinned as we got up. I made sure to pull along Sarah and Kim. They had been on their boys' laps this whole time, seeming not too comfortable with the setting in front of them.

"Relax, this is gunna be fun," I told the two La Push girls. I glanced over at the men and saw them all staring at us. Kim and Sarah unnoticeably glanced back too and let out a laugh. Oh, this was going to be sweet.

We found a spot on the dance floor, waiting for the DJ to give his last call to all the ladies and play a new song. Leah and I checked to make sure we had everyone. When DJ Smith, he called himself, played the next song, everyone roared with liking.

"Leah Back" by Terror Squad began to play.

We all began to move, swaying our hips in ways im sure the boys never knew existed. I rolled my body in smooth motions. I laughed as Leah leaned near me to match my movements. I switched it up a little, letting my hands slide down my body landing on my hips. I moved in a slow lazy swirl, letting my stomach become a bit exposed as I jut out a hip. I slid a hand through my long brown hair pulling it up a little.

The song changed half way through "Leah Back"; it was now "Show Stopper" by Danity Kane.

We all laughed and began snapping our fingers. The beat still flowed, along with our bodies. I added a little hip popping, which had my girls hollering. Some of the people start singing, while others were just getting a little too crazy.

Sarah got pushed and I immediately rushed over there to make sure she was okay.

"I'm fine!" she yelled a little flustered. I took her hands rolling my body to loosen her up a bit. She smiled, catching on to what I was doing; relaxing to the beat she began dancing with me.

I glanced over at Mandy and found her smiling. She looked like she was having a good time.

The song switched to "Say Cheese" by KC and I could see all of the boys walking up to us. Sam had desire deep in his black-pooled eyes. Jared couldn't take his eyes off of Kim and Jake looked like he could take Sarah right there on the dance floor. Trent, though- he had the best expression on his face. His eyes followed every moment of Mandy's body, taking in everything she was doing. His expression was pure lust.

I dragged Sam closer to me by the collar of his shirt. Settling myself so I was in front of him, I backed my ass against his hard on and started grinding. The rest of the guys pulled their ladies against them. Paul and Embry had seemly grabbed a few girls huddled by them too. Smiling at everyone, I focused back on Sam. Not only was he clearly turned on but he also couldn't stop nipping at my neck. That was a wolf thing I guess. Whenever Sam was in that type of mood, he took a lot of focus around my neck and shoulders. He said it was because, when we were ready, the wolf would mark me as his imprint somewhere on the neck (which shows sign of submission) and the imprint would be forever sealed.

I cupped the back of his neck, moving my head so he could get further access. This just egged him on even more. The hand that was settled on my hip pushed me back against him. I let out a small moan entwining our hands to make him stop. If he continued to do that, we would be leaving for his house in a matter of minutes. I reeled in some of my self-preservation and turned to face him. My hips still swayed, but it let me gain more focus to my surroundings. The feeling of the imprint was a bit too much. I felt as if I could jump his bones right there.

"It's getting a little steamy in here ladies!" the DJ called through the mic, "How about we switch it up a bit? Ladies, find a different man."

Giving Sam a smirk, I drifted away from him and found Paul. The girl he was dancing with slowly walked away, but he didn't seem to care. His eyes were set on me.

"Care to dance?" I asked seductively. The song "Baby It's You" by JoJo came on.

"Been wanting to since we stepped on the floor," he said. We didn't get as personal as Sam and I did when he saw me. Instead we circled each other. Paul moved his body impressively as I danced around him. I let my body sway and roll in front of him. My fingers danced around his shoulders and I eventually let loose.

"Let Go" by Brit & Alex came on. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders moving my body to the beat. His hands found an even space between my hips and waist. It was nothing intimate. Sure it carried some passion, but it made me feel sexy. Paul was a good dancer. He followed a lot of my rhythm along with the beat of the song and mixed in some of his own things. Eventually he controlled my body to move with his. Looking down to watch how he was swaying, I slowly picked up and let him lead.

"Not bad," I smiled.

He grinned and continued to move us both.

"Ladies!" the DJ called. "Switch!"

Slowly letting Paul go, I leaned forward to whisper in his ear, "Thanks for the dance."

I slipped out of his grasp, swaying my hips so when I walked away, he would be longing after me.

"Can't Help But Wait" by Trey Songz came on and Embry swung me towards him by the waist.

"And what do you think you're doing?" he asked dancing with me in an obvious platonic way.

"What do you mean?" I asked folding my wrists over his neck.

"You and Paul back there. You both were roped in each other."

"No we weren't," I blushed slightly. "He's just a good dancer."

"Sure," Embry said looking at me skeptically.

"I'm going to guess you can feel Sam's jealousy," I said to him. He nodded slowly. Unfortunately, I could feel it too; I just chose to ignore it.

"He cant get jealous over every guy I dance with," I said frustrated. Case in point, I could feel his jealousy right now as I danced with Embry.

"He can't help it," Embry said.

I rolled my eyes at that stupid comment. "He can't blame the imprint on everything. One day he is going to have to get used to that."

"You guys okay?" Embry wondered cocking his head to the side.

"Yea," I said blowing some hair out of my face. "I'm just saying. He is about to make me punch someone he's feeling so jealous. And he knows he doesn't have to be. I'm his. What more do I have to do to prove that to him?"

My head knew the answer to that- tell him I was ready to get married and have a kid; have him mark me.

"Don't answer that," I muttered to Embry before he could open his mouth.

We stayed silent for most of the song, waiting for the DJ to give the cue to switch. When he did, I went to Jared.

"Hey," I said not feeling so sexy and in the dancing mood anymore.

"Hey, you okay?" he wondered. He held me like Embry did. Safe. Platonic. Not risking anything because I was Sam's.

"Just dandy," I said with some sarcasm. Obviously Jared picked up on it but didn't question it.

"You and Paul seemed…close," he said treading carefully. I rolled my eyes and looked at Jared straight in the eye. He wasn't one to be known for wandering around the bush.

"Just wondering if you saw it too," he said trying to back away with the glare I was giving him.

"We were just dancing. He is a really good dancer."

"Don't have to tell me twice," Jared mumbled. I gave him a raised eyebrow. "By the way you two were dancing together, I would say you had the whole club looking at both of you."

I turned away blushing a bit. I didn't know that.

"Just be careful okay? Sam can be pretty territorial, especially being the Alpha and all," Jared advised. I nodded, kissing his cheek as we switched again. This time I took back Sam.

"Hey," I smiled. He wrapped his arms around me, in more of a slow dance position.

"I know you're jealous," I started out, as he didn't seem to be speaking. "But you know you don't have to be."

He let out a huff.

"Would you stop acting like this?" I pleaded, "You're ruining the night."

"I'm ruining the night?" he growled. I gave him a warning squeeze. He needed to calm down. Now.

"You and Paul," he breathed out angrily. I switched our positions, now going back to when he first grabbed me to dance. My back against his chest, I took hold of his neck and let my hips move to the beat.

"We were just dancing. Relax Sam," I said. "It was a dance. I'm yours remember? You imprinted on me."

He nodded slowly calming down as he took hold of my hips.
