A/N: I know the last two chapters have been mostly dialogue, and I apologize for that. It didn't seem that way when I was editing them. I do hope they are better than they were! I will try to make this one more interesting while I fix it, but keeping the same plot. Thanks for sticking with the story, I hope you enjoy this chapter :)

Alice tortured me to no end. I thought she was never going to finish plying dress up. Did she not know there are computer games for that?

"You're done now?" I asked exasperated once she stopped and stood in front of me, as if staring at a new creation.

"Yep, you look beautiful!" she said happily, I rolled my eyes and looked at the clock, eight thirty. Wow, only Alice would take two hours and a half playing dress up. She had started at six! Of course, she got herself ready first, which took her longer.

There was a knock at the door, and Alice jumped forward, running to open it. I rolled my eyes at her enthusiasm and Stepped out of her room, since she had dragged me in after doing my hair. Once in the bathroom I turned on the light to see what Alice was so proud of and my jaw dropped.

She was good, though I would probably never admit it to her. I almost didn't recognize myself. My hair was fixed into perfect curls that fell gently just above my waist. My face was a whole other thing, I had a little bit of eye liner, some eye shadow, mascara, and lip gloss. Truth be told, I looked like a doll. A blue eyed doll. Alice has insisted on making me wear blue contacts, I told her that they wouldn't be noticeable in my eyes, since they were so dark, but she insisted saying how I never tried good brands before. My eyes looked as if they were truly blue, and with my white skin…wow. I really did look beautiful.

"Bells come here!" Alice yelled from the living room. I took one last glance at myself in the mirror and hurried out to the living room. I was trying to be careful with the heels Alice had made me wear. I told her not to, but she said that nothing else matched this skirt. God forbid I walk out of the apartment with shoes that do not match the skirt. I rolled my eyes again.

I was suddenly nervous to show myself because this surely wasn't how I usually looked. So, when I walked in the living room and heard Emmett whistle, I blushed. I went to Alice's side instantly.

"Damn Bells, you look….hot" Emmett said while letting out another low whistle, giving me a playful look and grinning like an idiot.

"Thanks Em," I said softly. Alice move to sit by a blonde, very attractive looking guy, which made me notice the other people in the room. Beside Emmett stood Rose, and closer to the kitchen counter there was someone else standing. He had his hands in his pockets.

I felt my eyes go wide, and I chocked on my saliva. He had messy auburn hair and emerald green eyes. Though he wasn't wearing his office attire, it was obvious who he was. I had just seen him this morning, how could I not recognize this beautiful creature. That beautiful creature happened to be Mr. Cullen. What the hell was he doing here? I wondered. He was wearing a dark blue button up shirt and black slacks.

"Bella, this is my brother in law Edward," Emmett introduced him excitingly. Why hadn't Rosalie ever told us her last name was Cullen? How could I not have known she was Mr. Cullen's sister?

Before the crazy chatter continued in my head, I saw Edward walk closer to me with a beautiful bad-boy-crooked grin on his face. I held my breath.

"Nice to meet you," He said offering me his hand, and I took it, though mine was shaking. I couldn't speak I just nodded and smiled in response. He definitely wasn't gloomy right now, and he did not look frustrated. It was as if he had a twin, and the one I met in the morning was the stressed, overworked, and very rude one. This one seemed to be the complete opposite.

"Well, should we get going then?" Alice asked interrupting the chatter in my head. Someone always seemed to interrupt my train of thought.

"Wow, thanks for noticing me people." I heard the blonde male say as he approached me.

"I'm Jasper Cullen, nice to meet you." He said giving me a warm smile. He was also very handsome, didn't look much like Edward, but more like Rosalie. Come to think of it, they almost looked like twins, except for Rosalie's very obvious feminine qualities. Jasper was lean and manly.

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Bella. But I'm sure you already knew that," I laughed nervously, and we shook hands. "Are you and Rosalie twins?" I asked Jasper, but Rosalie answered for him in a very impatient tone.

"Yes, we are. Now, can we go?" she asked. We all nodded. I still couldn't get over the fact that Edward was Mr. Cullen and that he was here. It was a very small world.

Rosalie and Emmett were the first to walk out the door, followed by Alice and Jasper. Edward gave me a tentative smile and gestured for me to go first. I walked out and heard him close the door behind him. I stood there, contemplating what had just happened. Just because I didn't get hired fto be his secretary didn't mean he could act as if this morning had not occurred. Why did he act like he didn't know me?

He placed his hand on the small of my back to guide me towards the others, and I was too preoccupied with my thoughts to say anything.

"So, Emmett and I are going in the BMW, Alice and Jasper in the Mercedes, and Edward and Bella in the Volvo," My head snapped in Rosalie's direction. There was no way I was going to be alone in a car with Edward Cullen. That was very... intimidating. Alice saw I was about to argue and she gave me a 'Don't-you-dare-argue' look. Jasper and Edward nodded to Rosalie, Alice got in the Mercedes and Jasper followed. I stood there, paralyzed.

"Shall we get going?" I heard a soft velvet voice speak next to me. I turned around to look at him.

"We shall" I answered him just as I composed myself. Okay. He wanted to play games. Fine. I collected the little confidence I had in me and walked towards the Volvo with him trailing behind. I was going to act as if it made no difference that I was with him, though I was bouncing inside. He caught up to me fast and went to open the passenger door. Now he wants to be a charming gentleman?

"Thank you," I said indifferently. He nodded and closed is the door. How did I get in this situation? Now I had to act indifferent and confident. Something I am not. I took a steadying breath then held it as a thought came into mind. Alice had dressed me up. I was wearing blue contacts, he really didn't recognize me!

As he got in the car I concentrated on not hyperventilating. My body began to shake uncontrollably at my realization. He turned to look at me, concern obvious on his face.

"Are you cold?" He asked. I shook my head, but he was already taking off the jacket I didn't realize he was wearing and hand it to me.

"Really, I'm not cold" but my teeth shattered and I realize I was cold.

"Humor me," I took the jacket and slid my arms into the too long sleeves. It smelled delicious.

"Thanks" I said after a moment, and then I looked out the window.

"No problem," he turned on the engine and played with the controllers, turning the music down and the heater up. A few minutes passed in complete silence.

"So, what club are we going to?" I asked.

"Would you believe me if I told you, I don't know the name?" he chuckled.

"What wouldn't I believe you?" I spoke without thinking. He didn't know what to say, so I continued. "Do you at least know where it's located?" He probably did know and went often, but didn't want to look like he was a regular.

"They gave me the address," he shrugged. "Maybe you know," he said slowly and grabbed a piece of paper on the car panel and handed it to me. It offended me that he thought I was a party girl, though I had just made that assumption of him myself. The resentment I felt towards him for hiring Lauren came back and I crumbled the paper.

"Is the club that bad?" he asked as we stopped at a red light.

"I don't go out much so I wouldn't know," I said acidly looking straight forward. Truth be told, I hadn't even looked at the paper. I had no idea what came over me. I knew I was being immature, but I couldn't help it.

"I don't go out much either. Actually, I only came today because I owed it to my sister, and since she asked I couldn't deny" he shrugged. So he was saying he didn't want to be here with me? I looked out the window sharply. I didn't speak.

The ride was short, uncomfortable, and silent.

"We're here," he announced as he parked the car.

"Oh, great!" I said with fake enthusiasm. I knew I was acting childish but if he didn't want to be here what did I care? Okay, so maybe he didn't exactly say he didn't want to be here and I was overreacting, but I was still thinking of why he would hire Lauren.

I didn't wait for him to open my door I simply stepped out of the car leaving his jacket in the seat. I didn't care that I was cold, call me stubborn but I wasn't about to wear his jacket. I closed the door and leaned against it. Apparently we were the first to arrive, though we were the last to leave.

"Is something wrong?" I heard Edward ask as he came around the car towards me.

"No, nothing's wrong." I snapped. He flinched a little at my response, but before he could reply, my phone vibrated.

From: Alice

Bella relax. I can see you're being a total bitch to Edward. Why can't you be nice? I laughed humorlessly. I saw the Mercedes park next to the Volvo.

To: Alice

I would, but guess what? I cant! Because thanks to my luck, I knew him already!

Alice stepped out of the car as Jasper opened the door for her and her expression showed confusion.

To: Alice

He's Mr Cullen you smart ass!

The look on Alice's face when she read my second message was priceless. Her eyes went wide and her face turned red as she looked at Edward, then she started typing on her cell furiously. Edward and jasper looked at us, I knew they knew we were texting each other about something we didn't want them to hear, but they didn't comment on it.

From: Alice

OMG! I feel so stupid! 'course! Japer's name is Cullen! I don't know how we never knew him and Rose were related!

I rolled my eyes. Alice seemed frustrated and looked awkward to keep texting me so she walked to me and whispered in my ear.

"Do you think he recognized you?"I shook my head. She took a deep breath, composed her features into a bright face and smiled as she spoke.

"Just relax, act normal. Try not to give it away, and avoid answering questions ok?" she whispered quickly and went back to Jasper's side. Jasper and Edward gave us a weird look but didn't say anything. After a few minutes we saw the red BMW enter the parking lot.

"Finally," Alice mumbled irritated and gave me a nervous look. As soon as they parked they came over to our side.

"Sorry about that, Emmett forgot his cell phone at home and we had to get it." Rosalie said irritated.

"It's ok, now let's go have fun!" Alice responded. She was such a good actress. I followed Alice and Jasper towards the entrance. Alone. I didn't care much if he was behind me or not. For the first time ever, I wanted to have fun and I wasn't going to let a gloomy person like Edward Cullen ruin my night.

We had to wait in line for about 15 minutes but we made it to the door. Jasper and Emmett paid for their dates and walked in. Edward was behind me and I stepped towards the guy to pay. He appraised me for a long minute before he spoke.

"Hey there, are you alone?" I didn't answer. He smiled. He wasn't bad looking, actually he was quite hot. He was tall and muscular and had his black long hair in a small ponytail.

"It doesn't matter, get in. This one's on me. I'm Jake by the way" He said winking at me.

"Thanks Jake, I'm Bella." I gave him a flirty smile and winked back. What the hell had come over me? I had never acted like that! I kept walking until I heard someone clear their throat behind me, and I turned to see Edward scratching the back of his head.

"What?" I asked. He ran a hand through his disheveled hair.

"Nothing," I narrowed my eyes at his weird reaction. I was allowed to flirt wasn't I?

"Edward's got the drinks, looks like Bella paid her way in with her smile" I turned around to see Rosalie smiling.

"Did he just let you in for free?" Alice asked with a knowing smile. I blushed and nodded a bit more shy now that my friends were interrogating me. I saw Emmett smiling too, how embarrassing.

"It's funny because he is a very strict bouncer, and never lets anyone in without paying their entrance. Not even slutty looking girls. He must have really liked you, Bella." Rosalie said grinning. I didn't answer her; I just walked towards a table and sat down. I knew they were trailing just behind me.

I heard Emmett laugh. "Don't worry man, she's still your date. You can buy her a drink" I rolled my eyes at Emmett's comment. He was obviously talking to Edward. The rest of the group just laughed and took their seats. Edward sat next to me, though I tried to ignore him.

They fell into instant chatter with their respective dates, and I heard Edward clear his throat. I turned to look at him, but just before he said anything, someone approached our table.

This night keeps getting better and better. I laughed as I stared at her.

I have to try and leave the chapters the same way they ended. Like I said I'm not changing much in them, though now the story flows better and it's a bit more edited.

I hope you're liking what I have fixed so far, and that you will read the next chapter.

Reviews are welcome, and very very appreciated!

Thanks to those who have already reviewed, I hope you keep doing so!

Always Yours
