Possessed and Possessive (Completed)

Chapter 34: The Party

El's POV
"Beth wake up!!! Come on woman we have a party to attend. Wake up!!" I grumbled in sleep hating whoever waa waking me up.
"Go away. I don't want to wake up" I mumbled.
"Bethhhhh!!" Alice shrieked in my ear making me jolt and sit up in bed clutching my heart. And then anger burst through my entire body as I realized why she is here. Turning red with anger I yelled back at her:
"When I told you I don't wanna go then what did you not get? I DON'T WANT TO GO!! GET IT!! NOW LEAVE!!"
"Bethy, you okay? Its okay if you dont want to go but why are you getting so angry? Is everything okay? Did your dad call or something?" Alice asked me worried as she sat down besides me, propelling me on a guilt trip.

"No. I am sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you."

Alice embraced me into a tight hug and soothingly replied:
"Its alright Bethyy. And we won't go. We can get comfy in here and watch Jhonny Depp all night, what say?"
"No we'll go. Choose something for me, I'll go shower." I hugged her tight and got out of the bed. As I shut the door I heard Alice shout:
"I chose a sexy dress for you. Edwards gonna dieeee!!"

Not likely, I said to myself smiling sadly at my reflection in the mirror.

I counseled myself in shower to face the reality and walked out.

I walked towards my bed and picked up the dress, Alice had chosen for me. It was a black cocktail dress that I had sworn never to wear.

"Alice I am not wearing this dress. Its too short and revealing." I said to Alice who was doing her makeup.
"Its not. Its sexy. Now shut up and come here and let me do your makeup."
"But its too formal for a high school party!" I protested.
"Who said we're going to a high school party? We're going to a party in a chic club being hosted by some friend of Adam's who is in college or something. Now we're getting late come on."

In no mood to argue aur extract further details, I walked up to her. Alice did my makeup and tied my hairs in a loose messy bun.
"You look hot!" Alice whistled.

And I was. With smoky eyes and red lipstick I was undoubtedly looking hot. But what I lacked was excitement. The fact that Edward won't be impressed because he is not interested in a relationship with me had dulled my spirits.

I wore the dress and stepped into matching peep toes. Alice snapped a matching gold bracelet on my hand and smiled with satisfaction saying:
"You look gorgeous." While I gave her a small smile in return.

Outside a car horn honked and Alice simultaneously pulled me towards the door saying:
"Adam is here. Lets go!"

I followed her all the while wondering why Edward didn't come, why he didn't pick me up? Maybe he realized that I am looking for a relationship and he decided to stay away from me. My heart tore at that thought as it dawned upon me that he isn't in love with me.

I slipped into the backseat lost in my thoughts when I realized Adam was saying something to me.
"I am sorry what were you saying?"
"I was saying you look great." He replied with a laugh.

"She's going to kill so many guys tonight" Alice chirped in.
"I don't think Edward would like that." Adam said and both he and Alice laughed along.

While I thought to myself, not in a million years would he feel like that.

Once we reached the club, I told Adam and Alice to go and I'd follow. As they walked away, I looked at them feeling that something is undoubtedly stirring between them. I am happy for Alice but I am not so sure about Adam. I mean he is a known player. But if Alice trusts him after all the shit she went through then maybe he is trustworthy.

I walked into the club suddenly aware of all the male attention I was recieving. I pulled the hem of my dress feeling awkward and walked towards the bar. I sat down on the stool and scanned the crowd for Alice and Adam.
"What would you like maam?" I heard the bartender from behind and turned around to a pair of soft brown eyes. The bartender was young with black hair and a heart stopping smile.

"Umm water thanks." I smiled back at him.
"So you don't drink?" He asked.
"Nope."
"May I ask why?"
"I dont want to let my secrets out." I replied earning a shout of laughter from him.
"Good enough. I am Tim by the way." He said while handling me a bottle of water.

"Elizabeth."
"No wonder you are pretty."
"What?"
"You have a pretty name so you have a pretty face."
"That is like the worst flirting line ever."

I laughed and so did he. I spinned my stool to scan the dance floor when what I saw made my heart drop to the ground. It was Edward. And he was not alone. He was dancing with a blonde. Up close.

Ed's POV

I told Anna or was it Diana, whatever, that I'd be back and walked away from the dance floor. I walked to one of the corners and leaned against the wall and closed my eyes.

I was bored and I was missing El. I don't know why she didn't come. Memories of our phone conversation flooded my mind as I remembered why I hadn't answered her. El's reaction to Alice's question regarding us getting back together had made me realize she didn't want that. And though it hurt, I chose to respect her decision because I guess I have to bear with it if she doesn't feel she can give me another chance. I sighed out loud and shook my head to get rid of the thoughts.
"She is damn hot man" I heard the guy standing near me say.
"I know man but she is only talking to the bartender since she arrived." Replied the other.
"Yeah. She has the sexiest pair of legs I have ever seen." Said the first one.
"Totally man."

In order to rid myself of El's thought, I decided to check out this hot girl with sexy legs. I looked to where the guys were looking and then my heart dropped to the floor. It was El. And yes she was looking smoking hot.

Jealousy and anger coursed through my veins as it registered on me that every male in the room was checking her out. It was then I noticed that she was talking animatedly to the handsome bartender.

Jealous I walked towards her, not able to believe that she came and she didn't even tell me.
"El?" I said as I reached her. I saw her shoulders stiffen as she turned towards me.

"Hey Edward." She replied stiffly. What the fuck? What have I done now?
"I thought you were not coming."
"Well you were wrong."
"Clearly." I replied stiffly and she shrugged her shoulders and turned towards the bartender. Anger coursed through me but it turned into full blown rage when the bartender said:
"El? El. I like that, El."
"No one calls her El except me. NO ONE!!" I yelled at him pulling him by his collar.
"Edward! What are you doing? Leave him alone!" El shrieked pulling my arms. I turned towards her in anger but left the guy alone. I let El pull me outside. Once outside she turned towards me in anger:
"What were you thinking? Are you crazy?"
"What were you thinking?" I asked in return equally angry.

"What?"
"Why didn't you tell me you're coming?"
"Why should I? Would it have stopped you from dancing with that bimbo?"
"What?"
"Nothing. Just forget it okay? I know you don't want to be with me and its okay. You don't need to pretend"

Shocked by what El said, I just stared back at her dumbly.
"What? You thought it was not obvious. Well it was. The way you left in the morning and why you didn't ask me to come. It was obvious." El huffed angrily.
"You're wrong." I stated simply.

Now it was El's turn to be dumbfounded.
"What?" She asked.

Desperate to show her how much I want to be with her, I did the only thing I wanted to do since I saw her in that sexy little dress. I pulled her to myself and crashed my lips onto hers in a searing kiss.
