Creating a Mate: Chapter 4 *** Reposted

AN: Consider yourself warned: Beyond this place, there be dragons. I am equal parts amazed and appalled at the amount of information you can find about how to really mess with people's head's on-line. I DO NOT condone any use of substances. I just have a sick fantasy life.

Steph Meyer still cashes the checks.

Bella was beginning to question the choice of joining Jasper and Alice for dinner, as it was clear that they were in their own world. Instead of trying to inject herself into their conversation, she concentrated on her encounter with Edward. Hoping that he would be at Eclipse later, she could almost imagine the way he would feel pressed up against her on the dance floor. She was just to the part where he was beginning to grind his hips into hers…

"Bella! Hello! Are you finished? We're ready to go." Alice and Jasper had stood up and were preparing to leave. Alice was smirking at her knowingly.

"Oh! Yes, let's go. Jasper, do you think that your friend is coming? I sort of asked someone to meet me."

Now it was Jasper's turn to smirk. "Mike just texted me. He is coming. If your other friend shows up, you can choose from the buffet. If he doesn't show, then no problem."

Bella followed them outside and shivered at the prospect of two guys wanting to date her. Things were changing quickly. She had always spent so much time buried in books that she had never really done the whole social scene in high school. The thought of losing her virginity in the backseat like some of the other girls made her want to gag. Even last year had just seemed like an extension of the same since she had lived at home. Now she felt like she was coming into her own and wanted to relish in the sense of power. Having some fun tonight and letting go a little was definitely on the agenda.

Next up: Edward makes plans. Thanks for the reviews!
