Edward

Tonight was the extravagant event of Alice's wedding shower and I was currently swiping between a red tie and a black tie. Red, for giving my ego an extra push or the black because this event might as well be a funeral. I chuckled at that query. I decided on the red tie, and closed the front door behind me. Honestly, I had really wished for some rain at this point so Alice couldn't continue on with her ridiculous shin dig. Oh well.

Alice greeted me with open arms when my presence had crossed her mine, outstretching her long-pixie like arms. "Hey you bum! You made it!"

She offered a warm smile and kissed my cheek softly, soothing my back. I returned a smile and grabbed the glass of champagne off a tray walking beside me. Raising it to my lips, I nodded once at Jasper-Alice's boyfriend-and turned so I could face my pixie sister.

"Tell me, Alice. Since when did Jasper get fat?" Her eyes narrowed.

"Excuse me, he didn't get fat... he just... has been stressed out," her voice sympathized.

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever you want to call it. He's fat."

After a few moments of silence, Emmett and his wife approached Alice and I with welcoming hugs. Rosalie was a very attractive woman; long blonde hair that cascaded across her shoulders and down her back, her eyes were a soft shade of gold and her figure was slightly lean. Emmett was the complete opposite. I never understood how they fit together. He was a rather large fellow; eyes a shade of black, hair smoothed back and his face was muscular with a chiseled jaw to fit. His arms and chest were broad with beef... alright now I'm sounding a bit too feminine.

The group chatted for quite some time, laughing at old memories or pondering on how exactly Alice wanted her fucking wedding to be. I would simply roll my eyes or crack a joke to lighten the glooming mood. My rolex told me it was about quarter past eight and I had really hoped for something interesting to happen soon so I didn't have to make up some excuse to leave.

"Alice! Congrats on your big day!" Lauren, one of Alice's best friends had approached us unbeknowst to me. She greeted the group, handing Alice a gift and gave Jas a soft kiss on his cheek. Cheeky, I might add.

Her eyes wandered off to me and I caught a glimpse of lust in her eyes, only making me feel a bit uncomfortable so I cleared my throat into my fist and glanced around the room. Don't introduce us, don't introduce us! The little voice in my head chanted. I was relieved when Alice had taken Lauren into the other room for snacks.

"Jeez, she brought Lauren?" I grumbled to Emmett under my breath, raising the glass to my lips.

He chuckled softly, nodding quickly. "Yep."

Alice and Lauren made their presences back to the group and she had approached me by then, twirling her red hair between her fingers.

"Edward Masen Jr.? I've heard of your father, nice man. I was wondering... have you ever had an escort?" Her voice was hoarse, and slight shaky. Jesus, she was desperate.

An escort? I had never considered a prostitute for sex before; I always thought that'd be a bit un-classy. But, somehow this had brought my attention to her question and I gave my best crooked smile before answering her.

"Uh... no, I don't believe so."

She giggled, placing her hand on my arm in an affectionate sort of way. I raised my eyebrow and she lowered her hand.

"I know someone... well… I have her phone number if you're interested. You look a bit rocky... if you know what I mean."

Both of my eyebrows were raised at her offer, finding myself in a slight fantasy as this 'escort' crossed over my mind. Could it be so bad as to pay a woman for sex whenever you wanted? Certainly not.
"I wouldn't mind at all. May I have her number?" I whispered into her ear.

Lauren giggled, reaching into her purse and lay the card into the palm of my hand. I examined the item carefully.

B. Swan.
Lady Marmalade je vais.
966-233-855

My lips curved up at the corners of this mysterious 'B' girl. I'd be giving her a call and I was to surely be glad to offer my services to "B" weather she wanted to give me her own ... was the offer.

Hope you've enjoyed. ;)

I kept Bella's name shortened to just "B" for privacy reasons. Edward may know her real name in time. ;)

Next, its time to meet "B" ;)
