A/N: I don't know much about American football, since I'm from Britain, but if I get anything wrong, please tell me! Also, if anyone knows anything about the sport, please pm me! This was probably be a short fanfic (around 20-25 chapters) but I'm not so sure right now. Please, read and review!
NFL = National Football League
GM = General Manager
Quarterback = One of the many positions in American football, a pretty important one at that, too.
Chapter 1
Bella P.O.V
"Jacob, where the fuck are you?" I moaned into my phone, causing a few worried parents to glance over at me. I glared back at them and continued to walk through the airport, looking for Jacob everywhere. Shit, I had missed him so much. A grin formed on my face as I watched all the girls stare at him, looking shocked to see one of the best football players in America hanging around in an airport. They were literally eye fucking him.
"I see you," Jacob teased, turning around and hanging up the phone. I ran forward and pulled him into a hug, dropping all of my bags onto the floor and wrapping my arms around his huge chest. He had gotten even bigger than the last time I had seen him, though that had been two years ago. "Bella, I've missed you so fucking much girl. You look hot as usual," he winked, placing me down.
"You better stop or those girls over there will think we're dating," I joked, glancing over at them. Most of them were older, looking so thirsty for him that it almost made me laugh. Everyone who met Jacob knew that although he swung both ways, he preferred his own kind rather that the other. Yes, Jacob was totally bi but his preference for men was more than woman.
"We would be good together in the sac," he said seriously, making me fake puke. That would be so weird...
"Can we go?" I asked, watching as he nodded in return. He grabbed my bags off the floor and began walking out of the airport, ignoring the various paparazzi that were snapping photos of us as we got into his car. I didn't know how he could be so used to them following him all the time, but it made me totally uncomfortable. They asked him if Jacob and I were dating, which he laughed in return. Assholes, I thought towards them.
"Welcome home!" Jacob cheered as he parked outside his apartment. Though, I wouldn't exactly just call it an apartment. I had been nervous about moving back to Seattle for a couple of game seasons, but when Jacob had offered for me to stay at his place until I decided to move out, it had made me feel better. I didn't know his apartment was in one of the best neighborhoods in Seattle with three bedrooms.
"This place is fucking awesome," I grinned as we walked inside, taking a look around. The living room had a huge, flat screen tv with various gaming stations and Seahawks jerseys on the walls. There was pictures all over the kitchen, including one of us in college and one of all his team, well they were my team now, too. I would be one of the first women to play for Seattle Seahawks' main male team in the NFL.
"This is your room," Jacob explained, opening the last door in the hall. Most of my things had already been delivered from Phoenix last week, so my books were already lined up in the shelves behind my huge, double bed with my laptop laying on it and my clothes were packed away neatly inside my walk-in closet. There was a small bathroom leading off from my room, with a toilet, shower and sink inside.
"Thanks for letting me stay here," I thanked Jacob, beginning to unpack the bags I had brought with me.
"You won't be saying that when I'm screwing everyone in the room next to you," he replied, making me laugh.
"You're such a whore," I joked.
"I used to be. I actually haven't sex in like...a week."
"Oh, how good of you!" I said, sarcastically.
"Har har, Bells. How long has it been for you?" He asked, making me blush. I was so not going to answer his question. Although, in Phoenix I had my fair share of boyfriends and dates, I didn't have sex with a lot of them. It had probably been around a month for me, I estimated. I had sex with Benjamin - a random guy I had met in a coffee shop - after I had found out I would be moving back to Seattle.
"No comment," I answered, making Jacob giggle.
"Fine. I'm heading to the field, you coming?" He asked. I thought about it for a minute, wondering if today was the right time to tell the rest of the team. I wasn't sure how they were going to feel about a girl joining their team to play in the NFL, but I was hoping they would understand that it would be good for them. Jacob was the only one I had told I would be coming back to Seattle.
"Sure," I answered, "just give me a second to get changed." I tied my hair up into a bun and changed into some tight jeans that hugged my ass and then put on my Seahawks jersey with my number 40. It wasn't a long drive to CenturyLink Field and when we arrived, there was already people waiting outside for us. "Did you tell anyone I was coming here?" I asked, raising my eyebrows at Jacob.
"Yeah," he admitted. "It's just coach and the gm," he explained. As we got closer to the stadium, walking side by side, I finally got a better look of the people who would be my employers for the next two seasons. John Schneider - the general manager of Seattle Seahawks - was much smaller in person than I had imagined and Pete Carroll - head coach - looked younger than I thought.
"Bella Swan," Coach grinned as we reached him. "It's great to finally meet you."
"You too," I smiled, shaking his hand.
"It's wonderful to finally have you on our team, I've admired your play with Phoenix for the past couple of years. People say that you're one of the best women to play football in history," John grinned, holding his hand out to me. Who was he kidding? I was the best woman to play football in history. No girl in the other teams I had played with was a fast as me, I bet I was faster than most of the guys, too.
"Thank you," I replied, shaking his hand.
"We better get inside and explain what's happening to the rest of the team," Coach suggested, walking inside. The stadium was just the same as I had always remembered. When I was younger, my dad and I had used to take trips here from Forks - my hometown - to catch the games, until eventually I started playing the sport myself. Though, that was before my dad had died.
"Bella, we'll have to arrange a way for you to get by the showering arrangements with the guys," John laughed, blushing slightly as he brought me out of my thoughts. I laughed along with the guys as Jacob made a joke about me being lucky to see him naked, but I wasn't really listening properly as we reached the field. All the players were already there, listening to some of the other coaches.
"Everyone huddle up!" Coach called, grabbing everyone's attention. I quickly scanned my eyes over some of the players I had recently read about in some of the online websites about the team. There was Emmett Cullen, probably the biggest guy in the team and one of the best running backs I had ever seen in my life. Next to him was Jasper Whitlock, a player transferred from the south just before I was signed.
"Black, where have you been?" Cullen asked, looking over at me. Jacob ignored his question, smirking as he noticed half of the players staring at me. The stupid dicks hadn't realized what was about to hit them. I'm sure their next star quarterback being female was surely going to wound their egos, but I was all they had. They were just lucky I wasn't huge like some of the other girls in football. I was an average height and pretty skinny for being a football player.
"We all have something to tell you and you're going to have to like it because it's not a choice," John said sternly, causing a few of the guys to give him curious looks. We didn't have long until preseason, so I was sure they were wondering why it had taken so long for them to decide on a quarterback. That had been my fault actually, since I hadn't wanted to come back to Seattle at first.
"What's going on?" One of the players asked, making me laugh as I realized it was Seth Clearwater, the youngest kid on this team.
"We found our next star quarterback," Coach explained, grinning as he looked back at me.
"Who is it then?" Cullen asked, glancing behind Jacob and I to look for someone.
"Well...it's Bella Swan," Coach answered, gesturing to me.
"What?!" Almost every guy on the team screamed.
