Chapter 11
EPOV
"Jake I don't wanna talk right now so please get out and leave me to my misery" I could see that Jake's on the mood for preaching but I honestly wasn't.
"But you have to listen to me! What are you doing here all day? When was the last time you left home?"
"When I went to school…"
"Two days ago! Have you even showered? Or slept?"
"Yeah sure, don't worry mum I'm fine." I had showered and I had slept but I was locked in here for two days. Alice had forced me to eat something yesterday but that was it.
"And what do you think are you achieving by staying locked in here, doing nothing? Do you believe that Bella is going to be impressed by that? I'm sure she doesn't even know."
"Come on Jake we have a party tonight! Don't be such a wet blanket. Let's have fun!" the truth was that I was pissed with him. What if he was right and Bella indeed hadn't a clue? Was it possible not to have noticed my absence?
"Are you drunk?"
"No… I think…just a little dizzy." And that's true I haven't drunk a single drop since yesterday.
"For a moment I thought it was worthy to help you but no, I was wrong." He got out and closed the door with so much force that for a moment thought it would break down. Okay I had pissed him off I knew that. Maybe an hour had passed, or two since Jake had left, when I decided it was time for me to get out of this room. Firstly I had to eat something and then find Alice, I had some questions about the whole party thing. As I was lost in my thoughts I didn't pay so much attention to where I was going until I bumped into someone.
"Hey watch where you're going!" Fuck, from all the people in this house I had to walk into Bella! Just my damn luck!
"Err… sorry." Very smart Edward!
"It's okay… so I'll see you at the party… I got to go." Of course she was nervous you idiot! The last time she saw you, you demanded to break up with her boyfriend and be with you! I had seriously fucked up everything.
I had just finished my burger and I heard noises from the living room downstairs. The scene was hilarious! Bella was running away from Alice who was behind her with a pair of scissors in her hand! As soon as she saw me she ran and hide behind me!
"Please help me! She wants to make me bold!"
"No! I want to change your boring haircut a little! I'm trying to make it a little bit edgier! Come on let me do it I promise you'll love it!" was she serious? My sister was out of her mind!
"Alice you have never given a haircut to anyone before, don't you think it might be disastrous?" who was I to talk sense into her though?
"Yes I have! All my Barbie dolls had new haircuts as soon as I took them out of their boxes!" she was trying to pass through me and reach Bella, who had stuck behind my back!
"And that's why they kept buying you new ones, because all the others were looking like aliens!" that made it! She stopped dead in her tracks looking angry and she stomped her food down like a stubborn kid but at least she stopped threatening Bella with the scissors.
"Come on Alice I accepted to buy all these new clothes and let you buy me that absurdly expensive pair of shoes but that's enough! One step at a time, maybe I'll change my hair one day but we will go to an experienced hairstylist alright?" she was good on dealing with Alice after all.
"An expensive and a famous one?" Alice was always… Alice.
"Yeah… whatever. Look I have to go, unless you want me to be late for your party…" she was good. And to be honest she felt good touching my back that way, her warm hands were on my lower back and there was only a thin fabric between them and my skin. Instantly I thought her hands on me, touching my body and that thought made me hard. Focus Edward you have to calm down and think of something else, like hairs, that's it think about hairy legs! Okay I feel better now, thank God.
"Right, go then and please try not to be late. You're coming with Adrian, don't you?" Fuck, I've totally forgotten about him, of course they would be together here tonight.
"Yeah, he's coming to pick me up at eight sharp." Was she uncomfortable talking about him in front of me?
"Ian is waiting in the car? Come on let me help you with the bags." They went out and I went to the window by the door. Ian? Was Bella's brother visiting?Of course he was, I should have thought about it since Emmett was back. He'll probably come by tonight, too. Anyway I headed upstairs to get ready for the "big" party… if I was lucky enough the night will end before I even realize it.
BPOV
At exactly 8 o'clock I was putting on my high heels and I was ready to go. My blue strapless dress that Alice made me buy was leaving my whole neck exposed so I had to put on several covers of make up to hide the marks and thankfully my hair were long enough to do the job.
I heard Adrian's car stopping in front of my house and I walked out of the house to meet him. Ian and Jasper had left a couple of hours ago to go I don't know where and they said they probably come by sometime to see how's the party going. Not that I was excited to have Ian and Adrian at the same place because after that night I will have to suffer Ian's jokes. Adrian was looking rather hot tonight with his blue ceil shirt matching his eyes. I walked to him and he held me close to his body kissing me softly on the lips.
"You look absolutely stunning tonight." He said and I could feel his gaze all over my body.
"Thank you, and I can say the same for you, I love this colour on you." The night was abnormally warm and I was feeling actually happy, I had a good feeling for tonight. He kissed me one last time and opened the door for me as always.
While he was driving us to the Cullen's house he touched my hand and when he looked at me I thought I saw sadness cross his face or maybe it was my imagination because it was there only for a minute. Relax Bella you're going to a party what can go wrong? But his next words made me realize that something was going on, something that he was keeping a secret from me.
"Bells you know that if I could I would never leave you, don't you?"
"Adrian what's wrong? Are you trying to tell me something?" what was going on here?
"Nothing honey, really… just answer my question…" I knew him to well to be fooled that easy but since we were going to a party and of course it wasn't the right time to make that talk I answered his question and decided to give the time he needed.
"Yes, I know…don't worry." I forced a smile on my face while the good feeling I had ten minutes ago flew out of the window.
We didn't say anything else as we were close to the house now. He parked outside and I saw that we were the first to arrive, even better I would have time to help Alice. But as we went inside the house, I saw that there's anything I could do because Alice had already set all the things up perfectly! Of course she was the best when it comes to organization and parties.
The place was incredible! The interior of the Cullen's house had been transformed into a nightclub! There were huge speakers and piles of all kind of CDs everywhere. There was also a food table covering one side of the room, loaded with foods that will satisfy all the tastes.
I hadn't realized it but I was standing awestruck in the middle of the room looking around my mouth hanging, when I heard someone coming from behind me. I turned around and saw Edward coming out of the kitchen holding a beer and looking absolutely gorgeous to say the least.
Even I, after all the things he'd done to me, had to admit that the black shirt he was wearing along with a pair of undoubtedly really expensive jeans made him irresistible. Unfortunately no matter how handsome he was Edward was still the same person, so I wasn't impressed by his good looks. Okay I was at first. I shook my head and looked around the room again. "Unbelievable." It was the only thing I could say.
Edward shrugged his shoulders and with a crooked smile said "Alice will be Alice." He was right about that, how could I underestimate Alice to this. Maybe she should make a carrier in decoration after all… or in styling anyway. Alice was obsessed with fashion and she was always one step ahead of all the famous designers.
"You are gorgeous Bella. I don't know if Alice has something to do with the dress but let me tell you that you look magnificent." Okay that was something you didn't hear from Edward every day..he sounded almost..polite?
"Yes Alice helped me pick it up…" I didn't know what else to say, standing there blushing from head to toes!
As he was about to say something I felt a hand on my left shoulder and I saw Adrian had returned and now was standing behind me holding me close to him. Edward nodded to him without saying a word and they glared at each other for a moment. Weren't they friends two days ago? Was I missing something? Maybe he had heard what Edward had just told me because he was acting strange and what did next surprised me a lot.
The hand he was on my shoulder went to my neck and caressed it but that movement made my hair fall to my back exposing my neck to Edward! Adrian pretended like he hadn't noticed the marks now visible and bent down to kiss my shoulder without breaking eye contact with Edward. "Isn't my Bella beautiful? I really think I have the loveliest girl in town, don't you think Edward?" what the hell was going on here?
The way he looked Edward and the way he said 'my' was like making clear to whom I belonged. Hey I'm not a trophy! And-oh my goodness- the look on Edwards face was unforgettable! Did he look hurt? Surprised or angry? I couldn't tell exactly what he was feeling but he looked upset that's for sure. Without saying a word he turned around and disappeared in the back of the house.
I turned around so I could face Adrian. "What the hell was that?" I was beyond angry with him. Maybe I didn't like Edward but I didn't like the fact that they compete to each other like five year old kids either. And since when Adrian was competing Edward? I thought they were best friends.
"Nothing. What do you mean, sweety?" he asked wide eyed, looking surprised. Was he a good actor!
"Oh, please, honey! I'm not that stupid!" I said sarcastically. If he didn't know what he had done wrong then it wouldn't be me to enlighten him. I turned around and headed quickly to find Alice who was making the last preparations before the guests' arrival, but Adrian was faster than me and grabbed me by the arm.
"Okay you're right I did it on purpose." He admitted looking down to his feet.
"Look Adrian I'm not your property to show me around! If you want to have a girlfriend so you can show yourself then find an other one I'm not doing for the job!" why was I so pissed with him?
"No! Bells I'm sorry I didn't want to show myself, really."
"Then why did you do it?" I didn't understand.."Come on! Don't you see it?"
"See what Adrian?"
"The way Edward's looking at you! I know he likes you Bella it's so obvious I'm sure you have noticed." He was pissed now. What on earth was he talking about? I was standing there, my jaw on the floor unable to say a thing.
Of course I remembered the way Edward claimed that he wanted me and I should break up with Adrian to be with him but it couldn't be possible for Adrian to know that. I' m sure as hell Edward would never say that to Adrian and there was no one around that day in the parking lot.
"What are you talking about Adrian? We were just talking nothing more. Please, the last thing I need, is you to be jealous!" we were in the middle of the living room and a few friends were just arriving for god's shake! I didn't want to give Jessica Stanley more food for gossiping or the rest of them so I did my best to end it right there.
It was ridiculous anyway. I made a step forward and put my hands around his waste and bringing my body close to his. I looked him straight to the eyes
"Let's just forget about this alright? We're in a party I don't wanna fight for such a stupid reason baby." He was surprised by the quick change of my mood but he finally decided I was right. He gave me a big smile and leaned down to kiss me. That kiss was so passionate, so hard, it was like putting all his anger for Edward in that kiss.
Apart from the little scene with Adrian the party was quite pleasant, we danced a lot and I was having a great time so far. There was something though, I didn't like. All Edward's gang was there along with the whole cheerleaders team. Yes that includes Tanya, with her new boyfriend who was a soccer player of course. Old habits die hard.
"Hey, Alice!" I've hardly seen her alone all night, cause she was running up and down and dancing like crazy. I'm sure she tried to satisfy every single guest. That's Alice, a perfectionist.
"Having fun Bella? The party rocks!" she was having the time of her life, not even now she hadn't stop moving but I could tell she was beyond happy with this party.
"Yeah sure don't worry about me. But… what are they doing here?" I nodded with my head to their direction.
"Oh… I thought that you wouldn't mind since they've stop bothering you and all and they're Edward's friends… I couldn't…" pour Alice thought I was angry with her for inviting them at the party. She was biting her lip and looking down at her feet.
"Hey, I'm not mad Alice I was just asking, it's not that I enjoy having them around." I touched her shoulders and smiled.
"Really?" she was giving me puppy eyes knowing so well I couldn't resist to that. "Really." And I hugged her so tight she couldn't breath.
About midnight the party was getting wild, for Forks little town standards anyway. After two hours of dance with Adrian, Alice, Jake, Rose and so many others I ended up snuggled in a loveseat with Adrian in the back of the room making out. I haven't seen Alice for a while and I was sure Ian and Jasper had already arrived at the party an hour or so ago.
I wasn't actually drunk but I had a couple of beers and tequila shots so I was dizzy enough not to care about my older brother being around, probably doing the same- or worse- with a drunk cheerleader- eeewww- better banish that thought from my mind! I had a terrible headache and I definitely needed to use the bathroom so I managed to escape Adrian's strong embrace and walked to the kitchen to drink some really cold water and clear my mind. I was about to enter the kitchen when Jake came and hugged me from behind.
"Great party, huh?" he was not very drunk but he was absolutely not sober either.
"Yeah and I'm sure the cute blondie over there, with whom I unfortunately saw you making out with, has the same opinion, huh?" I teased him winking at him.
The good part was that I hadn't seen Edward since Adrian's show, four hours ago. Speaking of the devil… as we entered the huge Cullen's kitchen I saw something I wish I'd never seen. There on the kitchen counter was Edward…on top of Irina, Tanya's best friend.
Actually Irina was lying on the island in the middle of the kitchen and Edward was leaning above her kissing her neck. Holy crap! She was still wearing her underwear and thank God Edward was fully dressed, yet. Unfortunately we had to be the first who entered the room since they started making out or at least the most-almost- sober ones.
I couldn't help but gasp at the sight of two of them almost hooking up and of course they heard me. Edward looked up and straight into my eyes. He looked like seeing a ghost. And I'm sure as hell that my blush was giving my emotions away. I didn't know what else to do so instinctively turned around, walked out of the kitchen and into the living room to find Adrian.
The only thing that mattered was to get out of here right now!
EPOV
I opened my eyes… I've left the drapes opened last night so the daylight was hurting my eyes badly. I tried to stand up but that was not such an easy task to do because my head felt like hundred pounds heavy. Great… a hangover! As I was looking around I noticed that I hadn't even reached my bed last nigh, I was lying on the floor fully dressed.I sat up forcing my self to concentrate on last nights events.
What had happened?
Surely I remembered how beautiful she was and that bloody bastard kissing her neck showing the hickies he'd done to her and God knows what else he did to her… focus Edward… calm down, there are other more important things to think about right now. For example what happened after the show with Adrian? I remember crowd and loud music and chicks were dancing around and me consuming a big portion of alcohol.
Too much alcohol to be honest.
I wanted Bella so badly and I couldn't have her so vodka was my only escape. Come on Edward think! I looked around looking for something to give me a clue about what had happened. An empty bottle was lying on the floor next to me but it was a black piece of clothing that caught my eye. Only after I took it in my hands I realized what it was.
A lacy black bra.
Has Edward made a big mistake? Why was Bella so pissed? Please leave me a review and I'll be good next time ;)
