Leah and I didn't go far. When she suggested a night on the town I actually thought we would leave the building, but we just went downstairs to the bar. She had an interesting definition of night out on the town. One of these days I would really have to take her out. Maybe I would take her out to the clubs in Seattle. I bet she would have a good time there. Some of those places got fucking wild. It was not considered a good night if you weren't hauled in by the cops for one reason or another. I figured my Quilette roommate would fit in quite well in that scene.
We had been at the bar for a few minutes when she turned to look at me with a raised eyebrow. "Aren't you going to offer to get me a drink or something?"
I was tempted to tell her that I would only do that had this been a date. Then I wondered if this was not some kind of test. Women did that shit right? They would give a guy a test without telling them first. "Want to do Jello shots?"
She nodded and cracked her neck. She was giving me a look as if she were seeing me for the first time and it was kind of freaking me out. Did I have something on my face? I wiped my face on my arm in case I actually did have something on my face. "Only if it is green Jello."
"Green is my favorite." I replied and turned to the bar where Alice was working. My sister was grinning as I ordered a round of Jello shots. I was waiting patiently and tilted my head slightly to look at Leah. She was being kind of odd tonight and I figured this would be my chance to do something with her she wouldn't normally do. "Can I do it off of your stomach?"
"Don't go pushing your luck pretty boy." She hissed narrowing her eyes at me as I sighed and handed her the shot. It seemed as if she were an expert and doing Jello shots because she did it like a pro.
Using the little straw I had been given I made sure to run it around the edge of the clear cup before I downed the shot. I decided to order six more and motioned for my sister to get them. I told her to put them on my tab and she did because I would pay for it eventually. If I didn't she would pester me to death. "Hey a man has to try."
We continued doing Jello shots for a couple of hours. Sometimes we would take a break to do shots of Purple Nurple which was a drink I loved. She called me gay for liking such a drink and I just shot her smile before downing another shot. Eventually I started to get hot and so I took off my leather jacket. I noticed her watching me and I looked around to make sure it was actually me she was staring at.
"What?" I asked her as I threw my jacket at Jasper and told him to put it in the back. This wouldn't be the first time I had a jacket stolen in this joint.
When she muttered nothing under her breath and turned to look away from me I just chalked it up to crazy female shit. Then I would catch her looking at my arms when she thought I didn't see her. Oh she liked my arms did she? I flexed my muscles while pretending I had no idea what she was doing. I made a mental note to buy more sleeveless shirts in order to give her a show.
"Are you going to ask me to dance or do I need to find better company?" Leah snapped out in irritation after a few minutes of my muscle flexing. I was starting to wonder if this actually was a real date. She wasn't acting in normal Leah behavior and that confused me. Did this mean more than just simply hanging out?
"Do you want to dance?" I asked and offered her my hand.
The beautiful russet skinned female smirked and placed her hand in mine. "Wow you finally asked and yes I want to dance dumbass otherwise I would not have mentioned it. You are a really bad date did you know that? I don't know how you get so many fucking girls wanting to fuck you."
"To be fair I didn't know this was a date." I told her as we made our way to the dance floor together. I wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her close to my body so that our hips were pressing together as we ground together to the beat of the music. "If I had known this was a date I would be charming the panties off of you by now."
Her answer to my comment was an eye roll as we continued to dance together. I was still trying to figure out what the fuck was going on. Leah wouldn't fuck me, but she would go out on a date with me without letting me know this actually was a date? What the hell did that mean? Did I want it to mean anything? Three songs later I was still trying to figure that out when she excused herself to go to the bathroom. I made my way back to the bar to wait for her when someone tapped my shoulder.
"Edward is that you?" I knew the voice well and that is the reason I did not want to turn around. This couldn't be happening to me right now. This was not happening. I was having a nightmare. I reached over to pinch myself, but I did not wake up. I was living a nightmare. When the tapping on my shoulder persisted I turned around and tried to smile at my ex. "I would recognize that hair anywhere!"
"Bella I thought you were somewhere that was far far away?" I commented as I looked her over. Two years apart had not changed her any appearance wise. She still had those much too chocolate brown eyes, chestnut hair which fell around her shoulders, heart shaped face, and vampire pale skin. She looked exactly the same as she had when she walked out on me. I could remember as if it had been yesterday.
She smiled and placed her hand on my arm. I wanted to yank it away, but that would mean she had an effect on me and I did not want her to know that so I remained calm and collected as I order a shot of whatever the hell I had just order. I don't really remember though I find out it is whiskey when it burns its way down my throat.
I try to concentrate on the burning instead of her words. "I came back isn't that great?"
"Yippie, yay, and hooray." I reply without much enthusiasm. I knew my ex to be thick, but she couldn't honestly think I was happy about seeing her here could she? Did she not remember how we had parted? It had not been on good terms and that was her doing not mine. "How long are you staying and when will you be gone?"
Those big brown eyes were looking in to mine and I knew she searching for some sort of emotion. I made sure she would only see hate. I knew Bella wanted to see if she still had some sort of hold on me and I wouldn't let that happen. I was not her Edward anymore and never would I allow myself to be that again. "I thought I would stick around for a while and maybe see some old faces. How are you? Are you seeing anyone?"
"Yeah he is seeing me." I let out a sigh of relief when Leah come up behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist. Her chin was resting comfortably on my shoulder and I thanked her silently for coming to my aid. "Now I don't know who the fuck you are, but I suggest you back away from my boyfriend before I bash your face in. He doesn't pay attention to featureless whores who are trying to catch his attention."
"Hey baby." I purred playing along and reaching down to squeeze her ass. Her eyes flashed warning me to stay within the appropriate touching lines. "I would like to introduce you to Isabella Swan you remember hearing me speak about her don't you?"
TBC…
AN: I know this chapter was not as funny as others, but this story needed to have a little bit of seriousness. I mean remember it was only supposed to be like five chapters lol. I need a plot and this is the start to a very interesting plot like I can tell you that. The idea kind of hit me last night in a stroke of genius if I may say so myself. I am very excited as to what will happen in future chapters. Anyways, I would love to hear if you liked this or not and your thoughts about it.
Please R&R like always!
