Edward's Point of View
I heard Emmett before I saw him emerge from the general direction of the dance floor; considering the sheer size of him this was an achievement.
He was beaming proudly his arm slung around a tall blonde's shoulders.
Nodding approvingly at him I gave her a quick once over; she was exactly Emmett's type and I could see why he was so pleased with himself.
She looked oddly familiar.
Holy fuck!
"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy it's the airport girls" Jasper yelled drunkenly, swaying on his feet.
Smooth Jasper, real smooth.
"Uh yeah, um this is Rosalie" Emmett chose to ignore Jasper's outburst.
"I'm Alice" piped up the shortest and clearly the most outgoing of the group, she stepped forward dragging one of her friends with her.
"Leah and Angela" she gestured in turn.
I have to admit I had already stopped listening the moment I realised who she had her arm intertwined with. Fuck, she was sexier than I remembered.
"And this is Bella."
Bella smiled, looking up at me from under her long dark lashes.
Hot damn.
Emmett introduced us quickly before snagging a larger table and pulling up a few extra stools to accommodate the new additions to our party.
"So what brings you all to Vegas?" Alice asked us as a new round of drinks was placed in front of us. She snagged one for herself and slid one to Bella who was perched beside her.
"Well, our Jasper here is gettin' married" Garrett smacked Jazz lightly on the back, "We're celebrating his bachelor party."
Jasper snorted at the word celebrating.
"We're supposed to be celebrating" Emmett corrected, "more like commiserating."
His comment was met with looks of confusion and realising it wasn't the most appropriate time to air Jasper and Maria's dirty laundry, he quickly changed the subject.
"And you ladies are you celebrating anything? Anyone getting married?" I saw Emmett's gaze immediately flicker to Rosalie.
"We are celebrating, but no one's getting married" Alice assured us. "In fact Bella just got out of a relationship, that's why we came to Vegas."
Bella blushed, her cheeks flushing light pink.
