Party

Seventeen years old/Halloween

"Hey Bella. You ready for a great time tonight?"

"Remind me why I agreed to this Alice?"

"Because you are the bestest friend ever."

"Of course I am Alice."

She flittered around the house as I read Wuthering Heights, waiting for Edward to arrive. Him, Rose, Emmett and Jasper had all been pushed out of the house for the day as Alice put the finishing touches to her Halloween party. She allowed me to stay as I, in her words, 'couldn't mess anything up'.

"Edward will be home soon enough Bella. Don't look so sad."

"I don't get why you had to kick him out. We'd just sit in his room out of your way."

"Because you'd complain to him about this party and he'd not make you come. This way I know you will definitely be here. You have to stay at least two hours."

"Fine Alice. Did you get Charlie to let me stay here?"

"Yes. By the way, you're sleeping in my room."

"Thanks Alice."

She smiled at me as she ran past. After another half hour the others returned home and Edward and I escaped to his room.

"You haven't been reading that book again Bella?"

"It's a good book Edward. I like it."

"Well I don't."

"I know."

He pecked my lips before I dropped my head, my hair falling over my shoulder. His hand moved my hair away from my face as he moved closer to me.

"Are you sure you want to go to the party tonight?"

"Yeah. Alice has put a lot into this and I promised her I'd go for a couple of hours. She also got Charlie to let me stay over tonight even though Esme and Carlisle aren't here."

Looking up at him, he pulled my lips to his, starting a slow, loving kiss.

"We should get changed? The guests will have started arriving."

"I'm sure Alice won't miss us for a few more minutes."

"I think I will Bella. Now get changed before I make you."

"Fine Alice."

I pressed my lips to Edwards once more before following Alice to her room.

The party was really fun. Most of the school were here as Edward and I walked round greeting our friends. There was plenty to eat and drink but no alcohol. Somehow though there were people stumbling round drunk. No one really noticed though as they were too busy either drunk or dancing. I didn't pay too much attention to it either as Edward pulled my lips to his. As time went by the music seemed to get louder and louder by the second. I didn't realise what was going on around me. Taking Edward's hand, I pulled him to the stairs and turned round to him. He smiled down at me as I led him up to his room. Locking the door, I wrapped my hands into his hair, bringing his lips to mine. Without saying anything, we lay on the bed and took it in turns to remove each other's clothes. It was then, in a drunk state that we were with each other completely for the first time, not completely aware of what we were doing.
