Chapter 6 - Deflection
When I threw him a last look, noticed I want him mad at the brunette hand Duke behind, hit them if they could keep up or not. He was angry and the young woman did me already suffering.
An angry Edward Cullen was not necessarily the best company and now he was angry. Very much.
I took a careful look to Bibi, and asked me what she thought well, having finally made the acquaintance of my personal nightmare.
"This is it then," she said, looking at his retreat with a surprised smile, "I have to admit that he is quite a charming man image, but his character is improved. You should take my warning seriously and did not irritate too much. It could be that the shot backfires. "
Uncomfortable I looked at my old girlfriend. She had an incredible understanding of people and had had to do in her life already unpopular with many contemporaries. I said a little prick that my opinion of him has been confirmed by it so rigorously. I had perhaps hoped inwardly that she would watch Cullen and discover but a good heart in him? It was so ridiculous that I had to shake my head at myself. Cullen was and remained a bastard as he stood in the book and its dubious charm of this fact would not change anything.
"Do you think he will leave me alone, if I ignore him? "I asked Bibi.
"No, he will probably see as a challenge. The only thing you can do now is to resist it as best you can. It's remarkable how eager he is to you. You seem really to have it done. "
I sighed and buried his head between my hands. Why me? Could he not miss his unwanted attention to another woman?
Unfortunately I was not so sure if I would find it so easy to resist him, as I did, unfortunately, was more attractive than and that made it any easier for me. This attraction, which he had on me would get me into trouble.
why he had appeared only in the park? Bibi was right with their assumption that he is not the type for Sunday walks was. But someone had told him that I spent in the park most Sundays. Whoever had him put the would do something!
"Bella, make you not so concerned. You are a strong woman and Cullen can not harm you any harm. He may be dangerous, but that's why he is far from being a monster. I would only prevent you heart is broken because men like he play with the feelings of women. He enjoys the hunt more than the conquest itself. If you let you in on it, is increasingly feeling on your part to be her because, as of his. "
She looked at me sympathetically, as she sensed my inner conflict. But she was wrong in assuming that I had any feelings for Cullen. It was a purely physical reaction, I abstain for years lived and therefore feel I got the sex appeal of Cullen with full force. But I had no intention to yield to this attraction. No matter what he does well, he would not tell me rumkriegen. I still had a tremendously strong pride and I would not integrate into the endless rows of his bed bunny.
"You need to tell me not to worry, Bibi. I know exactly what type of man he is and I will not forget. His ego does not bear a rejection of me and he wants to prove himself and how irresistible he is. But since he has come with me to the wrong thing. "
" Those are brave words, my child. I hope you remember it when he goes on the offensive, because I have seen exactly how you look at him. It makes you exhausted and your blood boil. So far I have seen you yet never turned up, as in the past few days and if I do not know better, I'd say you've fallen head over heels for this guy. "
Horrified by her words, I stared at her. I could not stand him and did not want to dwell on the topic. The more I thought with explained to him the more I that I began to develop a fatal weakness for him.
Can 'we might change the subject, Bibi. Danny will come back at any moment and I want to enjoy the rest of the day with you and my child. Cullen has already taken too much room in my life and I would like to forget it for the next few hours. "
" But Of course, I can understand that the burdens you. You should once again go out and get new ideas. Why do not you call your girlfriend to take Rose and what with her. "
Perhaps it would be a very good idea. Alice would definitely like to come too, and Rose could get to know one of their new colleagues. A great girls night would be exactly the kind of change I needed to distract me from it.
"Would you like to watch again today because of Danny," I said with a guilty conscience.
"Do not make a face like three rainy days, Bella. I know exactly what is happening now in you. Think you're a bad mother, because you only think of you sometimes. But I'll tell you something! I hardly know a mother who is as selfless for her child, but you. You deserve to have some fun sometimes. So you do not go crazy, but to call your friends and have fun. "
relief I looked at Bibi. They just knew me too well and my fears I had my own way often.
Danny came running towards us and everything fell into the background. The day belonged to my son and nothing would stop me from enjoying this.
"Mummy, I just now got a goal scored," he shouted to me already smitten contrary to the distance.
I looked at Danny's happy face, and forgot my problems completely. He was the most important in my life and only his health was important for me.
He jumped into the outstretched arms and beamed at me.
"This is great, Danny. I've told you, if you will only play often enough and have joy of it, you score a goal at some point. "
He grinned at the little face, and nodded eagerly.
"I was just put off my foot and bang, he was in it. The boys have asked me if I want to play next Sunday. "
Pride unmistakable sound of his voice and I was very happy for him. He did not easily find new friends, because he was basically very shy. Also on this point he came in after me.
"We definitely come again next Sunday and you can see your new friends. Would you like some ice cream now? "
" Oh yeah, fine. War I also ne Extra Whipped cream? Please! "
Laughing, I rummaged through his curly head and got up to run with him and Bibi for ice cream cart.
When Danny was in bed at night long ago, I made myself pretty to go with Rose and Alice on the runway. Both were enthusiastic about the prospect of a girls' night out and wanted to pick me up because my car could not be saved permanently. A scrap dealer had given me two hundred dollars to spare parts, so it was not a total loss, but a new car I could not afford it. At least I saved my future expensive repair costs and insurance premiums, even if it was already annoying, always from the subway to be dependent. But you know, you got used to everything and the subway system in Seattle was certainly not the worst.
was somewhat undecided before I put on my wardrobe and wondered what to do, because I did not want to contribute aufgestylt exaggerated. I always found that it had a hint of desperation when a single mother to aufbrezelte much. My
Phone vibrated and I took the call.
"Bella Swan," I reported
.
"Hey, I'm Alice," I chirped a cheerful voice in his ear, "I stand here with Rose at the door and trust me not to ring. We do not want to wake Danny. "
" Wait, I let you in, "I said, and was already running towards the door.
Both slipped through the door and smiled at me conspiratorially.
"Well, ready for the evening of your life?" There was Rose.
"If I've decided what to wear, then yes," replied I do.
called The Alice immediately on the scene.
"Let's see what your wardrobe has to offer. You need for the perfect outfit for this evening. If we want to the club, we must not allow ourselves to splash out. "
" What do you mean, do we in the Club, I hope this is a joke, Alice. There are so many great opportunities to do something, there are we surely something else. "
Alice looked at me begging to.
" Bella, please, "she cried with her effective puppy look," I have to go there. Jasper is tonight in private to be there and this is my chance sometimes it outside of work to catch. Maybe he even speaks to me. You can refuse me not. "
Sighing I fell on my bed while Rose looked amused us.
said "So, you're so in love with your boss Jasper," they cheered and Alice nodded vigorously.
"Crush is an understatement," I interrupted, "since the first day she languishes after him already and come to nowhere."
Poor Alice looked sad to me back to Rose and then.
"I know it is hopeless. He gives me no more attention than any other operation in the club, but now I can not even align against my feelings. One day he will realize that I am the right and then I'll be there. "
Rose looked at her in astonishment, but Alice did not point out that it contradicted itself.
If the small whirlwind had something in his head, then pulled it through even without mercy. Whether Jasper would return her feelings ever, was in the stars and was rather unlikely. She did, however, still not discouraged, and continue to stubbornly enthusiastic for the man who was also called a block of ice. Besides his club seemed to care nothing and he worked like a man possessed to be successful.
"We rumtrödeln should not now, Bella. Let me take a look in your closet. "
I had to get it or not accept that I would spend another night in the club, I could also allow Alice to dress me. They would not surrender until they had put me in all dresses and skirts, which were found in my scanty wardrobe. Result I went into their hands and after a few minutes there and they found the perfect outfit for me.
A red, narrow Neckholderoberteil, the free left my back and a bra was impossible, with a black pencil skirt that ended just above my knee. Black Stilettos marked the end of my outfits and even I had to admit that I looked good.
"You look really pretty," Rose said admiringly.
bit embarrassed, I turned myself in the mirror back and forth. I let my hair for once open and it fell in soft waves down my back.
Alice looked satisfied with her work. Her stylist was really lost, because they always managed to turn a little something special.
"I always knew that you are incredibly pretty. No wonder this guy, with the bronze-colored hair is so crazy about you. "
Rose immediately got their X-ray vision, as she fixed me.
"Bella Swan, what are you hiding me? What type? What's his name? Does not he look good? Is he rich? "
you rattled the questions down at a speed that I was dizzy and I had no way to avoid it.
"There is no more. He is an idiot and just wants me to bed. End of story! I will not talk about him, still think of him. Edward Cullen can keep me stolen, "I said firmly, and my tone did not allow further discussion.
Rose gasped as she heard the name.
"Edward Cullen! Did I hear correctly? Oh my God, Bella. The guy who made the last two years of Europe is uncertain and again more recently in town to take over the management of the family business. He is the most desirable bachelor in the whole state and every female would kill to get it right. Gets you no gossip newspapers? Which are full of him and his antics. "
" I'm concerned they can have it all. Frankly, I hear the first of these stories, but I can easily imagine that every word is true. Such a rude behavior like him, I have never experienced. He really had the audacity to me To say that he has chosen me as his next mistress. He was not even alone, but accompanied by his current flame. "
Rose whistled through his teeth and looked impressive in hard.
"Cullen is so keen on you," she has said and looked surprised.
Reluctantly I looked at her, because I did not fit that so great was the.
"I'm going over to Bibi and tell her know that we identify loswollen."
Glad to evade questions about it again, I walked the short distance to my old friend and rang.
This quickly opened the door and looked at me sympathetically at.
"Pretty you look. I hope you enjoy and take your time. Danny is with me in good hands. "
you accompanied me to my apartment and I went briefly into Danny's room, to give him a kiss. He slept quietly and happily in his bed, his teddy bear in her arms and did not move at all. Reassured, I went back into the living room and set out with the girls.
We shared a taxi to third and soon came on to our destination. The only good thing was that we did not hesitate to ask. We walked to the entrance and Jack, the burly bouncer, let us immediately to the cash, which some of us envious looks and curses of the waiting guests brought.
Inside the clubs, we fought our way to the bar. It was incredibly crowded and grab a seat my hope faded with every passing second. Nevertheless, let me I would not spoil the evening, after I was here to have fun and a lack of seats would not dissuade them.
Finally we reached our goal and we waved to the bartender cheerfully. Today service was José, a English immigrant who was a true talent in mixing together the various types of alcohol. He immediately provided us with a good cocktail and I sipped fruity relish in the, sweet Drink while I take my eyes carefully walk through the crowd left. I scanned
Searching the entire space to determine whether a certain guy with bronze-colored hair and fantastically beautiful eyes was present. Relieved and still somehow disappointed, I could spot him anywhere. Disgusted with myself, I stared at my cocktail. How much alcohol was in there that I have so lost control of my thoughts?
was a shriek of Alice me cringe violently.
"Oh my God, here comes Jasper," she gushed and fell back into fanatical adoration.
your joy at his appearance was marred quickly as she saw that he was not alone. So that was why he visited his private club. He had an exciting blonde in his arms, which seemed almost to chew the ear lobe.
compassionately I looked to my girlfriend, who was staring as if hypnotized at the scene. to rave for Jasper, with the knowledge that he would probably never notice it was one thing, but to get out in front of eyes that it was actually so very different.
I pressed slightly and she looked up at me. Thickness tears in her eyes and she had to speak well in order not to cry in public. Rose also noted quickly what was happening and took the matter in hand.
"Stop crying on, Alice. Other fish in the beautiful sons and you can on each finger ten have. Drink your cocktail of girls, now we storm the dance floor. "
We pulled the reluctant Alice simply and soon we moved to the rhythm of intoxicating disco sounds. For a long time I had not danced, and I quickly realized how much I enjoyed it, to let me drive the beat of the music.
After a few minutes we went back to the bar to us again to get a cocktail. The stuff was incredibly easy to drink and I already felt the first effects of the alcohol in my blood. But it was a pleasant feeling Alice and even seemed to go much better, at least if it managed to take the view of Jasper and his conquest.
The two were sitting in the VIP lounge and snogs unrestrained. It was totally uncharacteristic of Jasper to behave like that, but he obviously enjoyed the evening in full. The other places at his table were empty and it looked as if they would expect someone.
"Alice," I said sympathetically, "do not even bother. You always know that it will be with you Never was. Now you can finally concentrate on someone else. "
She nodded miserably and tried something a timid Smile. Bravely she toasted me and said
"To hell with the men!"
We nudged each other and joking around until I rose violently struck on the shoulder.
"Oh God, just look at this fantastic guy who now sits in Jasper at the table. Have you seen the before? "
Irritated, I looked up and saw to my horror, the nice brother of Edward Cullen. If he was here, then Cullen himself was not far away.
"This is the brother of Cullen. His name is Emmett, and he seems not even to be represented in the gossip magazines, if you do not know him. What I find very positive, "I concluded dryly.
completely blown away, leaving Rose the guy no longer out of sight.
Stealth I looked around now. With luck, he was not here because Jasper had already mentioned that he was friends with Emmet.
But as so often in life I was dogged by bad luck. He came in and struts on each arm hung a beauty who adores him. Disgusted but fascinated, I watched as he and his escort, climbed the stairs to the lounge and to his brother and Jasper joined at the table.
He sat on the small leather couch and leaned back with a satisfied grin.
With mixed feelings, I turned to him my back, in the hope he would not notice me. For some unknown reason, I was pissed. If he really so keen on me was why he carried it constantly with new women? He thought maybe he could be so arouse my jealousy?
Although I knew it was wrong, I looked back up at him and registered, that he had noticed me very well. Probably, when he entered the room.
The look on his face made me shiver. He fixed me with his burning, green eyes and left no doubt about it openly, that I would not get away from him tonight.
would If I was smart, I go now, I thought, but I stayed where I was. It was me impossible my view of his resolve and his unlikely beautiful face got a satisfied expression.
He got up, walked slowly down the stairs and make his way through the spellbound people, without taking his eyes off me.
