"A bachelor party? But, I don't even know anyone!" Emmett was eagerly pushing me towards the front door, ignoring my near constant protests. Bella sat on the couch in between Alice and Esme, her head cocked to the side in confusion as she watched the scene before her.

"You don't have to know anyone for our kind of bachelor party," Emmett said.

I planted my feet onto the floor to avoid getting any closer to the door. But Emmett just pushed me harder, causing me to skid across the hard-wood floor, my shoes making a high-pitched squealing sound against it as I slid.

Jasper was trailing behind us, grinning from ear to ear, sending waves of excitement all throughout the room. But I was too far past furious to acknowledge his ability that set off his own emotions for the rest of the room to experience. They all were blocking their minds and I couldn't tell what was in store for me next. That only made me ten times more furious.

Bella, like me, was completely oblivious. She stood up with her arms crossed over her chest. "Jasper? What do vampires do for bachelor parties? You're not taking him to a strip club, are you?" she asked. Emmett froze and I tried to make my escape, but he held my arms behind my back like he was arresting me.

"How did you guess?" Jasper asked, astonished.

My jaw dropped. "Are you joking? A strip club?! No way in hell am I going anywhere near a strip club!" I declared as I finally pulled away from Emmett. I looked at Bella to see her reaction. Her face was merely astounded and shocked.

"I was being sarcastic," she mumbled.

"Aw, come on!" Emmett boomed. "You need proof that you are finally becoming a man, Edward! What's better proof than going to a strip club?" His hand flew around and gave me a nice slap on the back.

"Shut up, Emmett," I growled. Jasper laughed.

"Are you seriously taking him to a strip club?" Bella asked in a voice that sounded strangled.

Esme answered this one. "I'm sorry, Bella." She sighed. "I tried to talk them out of it. But, they were set on this." She looked at Jasper and Emmett, suddenly angry. "See what you are doing to the poor girl? She is already as pale as we are! And you haven't even left yet!"
