A knock came on the door at precisely 9pm, Alice opened it to Carlisle and Esme, Carlisle was wearing all black and Esme had her Red coat with black lining buttoned over her dress, her dress was simple and beautiful, it was a fitted top with a cowl neck in black, the bottom finished at the knee and had several layers of red material underneath which made it poof out slightly, her heels were red to match. Jasper, Emmett and Edward followed them through the door their eyes seemed to almost pop out of there sockets when they saw us, they were dressed in fitted black dress pants and shirts like Carlisle, Jasper's eyes ran from the tips of my shoes detouring at my curves to my eyes, I wondered vaguely if the fire was back or if it just never went out, he reached an arm around my waist and pulled me close "I told you that you would look beautiful" he murmured in my ear, I tilted my face upwards looking for a kiss, he didn't disappoint me, Emmett cleared his throat after a few moments "Sorry" I apologized insincerely, I looked around Esme was smiling so wide i thought her face would crack "Should I phone down to the valet to get the cars brought around?" Carlisle questioned, I grinned remembering that he knew nothing about where we were going "No, I think we'll walk, its not too far" Carlisle swept his arm out gesturing for me to lead the way, Jasper walked with me, arm still around my back we led the way to the elevator, out through the foyer and on to the street, every person we past stared out our little group, it made me feel beautiful.
After about ten minutes of walking the noises of night clubs penetrated the air "Esme are we going to a nightclub?" Carlisle asked in a worried tone "Not exactly" she answered before Alice shushed her reminding her that it was supposed to be a surprise. We passed night club after night club, Emmett was getting antsy, demanding to know where we were going, Rose just laughed "It'll be worth the wait Em". I turned left off the main club strip into a side street and almost ran straight into a girl waiting at the end of the line for entrance to Delilah, I let out a low whistle the line was longer than I had ever seen it, Julian was going to be busy tonight! Lucky for us Julian would have put my name on the door I sidestepped the girl and headed for the front of the line and the bouncers Dean and Sam, Jasper tugged my hand lightly "Is this where were going?" I didn't answer, shedding my coat instead, I knew Alice, Rose and Esme had followed my lead from the collective gasp of the people waiting in the line, Dean and Sam were twins and bore a striking resemblance Emmett but where Emmett curly hair was the colour of bracken the twins were sandy blonde, they were busy tonight so I didn't get the usual hugs and compliments at the door, just a kiss on the cheek, tickets for drinks (the promotional deal) and a wave through the door, a girl at the front of the line complained about how long she'd been waiting and why were we getting let straight in, Rose turn to give her a simpering sickly sweet smile that basically said 'suck it bitch!'
It was hot, noisy and crowded inside the club, we handed our coats off at the coat check, I didn't have a purse since Julian would put my drinks on a tab that I could pay off by credit card tomorrow, Latin music played and the club was a haze of red, white and orange spotlights. Through the myriad of sweaty people twirling around the dance floor I spotted Julian sitting at a table alone, I led the Cullen's through the crowd, I waved at Julian as we got a little closer to the table his eyes widened comically as he took in my company, I laughed and allowed him to pull me into a hug, his hands strayed lower than a friends hands should, I pulled away "Behave yourself Julian" I said sternly, he gave me a cheeky grin, Julian was not much taller than I and with his tanned skin, freckles and shaggy sun-bleached blonde hair he looked more like a surfer than a dancer, he was dressed in tight jeans and a dark blue dress shirt that had one too many buttons undone, I buttoned it for him and introduced the Cullen's by name, his eyes lingered over Alice rather than Rose as I'd expected and he asked her if she'd like to dance. Alice, Julian, Rose and Emmett took to the dance floor while Esme, Carlisle and Edward took a seat at the table, I caught the eye of Amelia, she worked at the club as a dancer to pay her way through collage, I knew she played violin and was doing something boring like law and politics at collage, she nodded at me and I inclined my head towards Edward indicating that she should ask him to dance, Amelia's eyes lit up as she surveyed Edward, as any females would, and she strutted through the crowd, coming to a stop right in front of him "Hi, I'm Amelia, care to dance?" Edward gave her a politely uninterested face "Oh, no thank you" he tried to turn away but she caught his sleave "Are you sure, this is a one time offer" she flirted, his mouth opened and started to shape the words 'no thank you' again, as a last ditch effort I attempted to 'think' at him "Just dance with her Edward! She's a really nice girl and you two have a lot in common, I don't know what happened to you but you can't mope forever! It's selfish and you're causing your family pain" surprisingly he heard me and I don't know if my words meant something to him or if it was him momentary shock but he nodded mutely and it was all the answer Amelia needed, she pulled him of the stool and onto the crowded dance floor Carlisle, and Esme followed.
Jasper had watched my meddling silently "that was very nice thing you just did" I shrugged "I couldn't let him sit here alone all night which is exactly what he would have done, right?" Jasper didn't answer my question, he didn't need to I knew I was right "Come, lets dance" he said, he took my hand and I let him lead me onto the dance floor. Jasper and I were meshed together as we dance, our bodies almost one rubbing across each other, I saw flashes of the others as we moved past each other, I think Jasper must have been transmitting lust because every person on the dance floor was getting hot and heavy with their dance partners and I was practically throbbing with need. I slid down between Jasper's legs, hands rubbing his thighs, my breasts rubbing down his chest, my mouth coming level with his groin, I looked up at him and slowly slid my way back up his body, he seized my face between his hands and pressed his mouth to his with such passion that I came away gasping "Take me back to the hotel Jasper, I can't take this anymore" I rubbed my hand over him, finding him firm beneath his pants, his breath hissed out between his teeth. He took my hand and we exited the club at barely a human speed stopping only to collect my coat.
