Bella

I finally lay down to try to get some sleep. I had been up for way too many hours and tomorrow I started my first day of work. I closed my eyes trying to wrap my head around the last 48 hours. Just Wednesday I was packing my things thinking I wanted to go on the road with Mom and Phil for a few weeks and then I get the call. I didn't recognize the number but this Billy I talked to insisted he was good friends with Charlie, my dad. Apparently was shot in the line of duty during a home raid and his prognosis was not looking good. So I packed up as much as I could and took the next flight to Port Angeles where I would then drive to Forks.

After getting to Forks Community Hospital, I then met Dr. Cullen, who insisted my father got lucky but would be paralyzed for the rest of his life. He would require a few surgeries and then would be moved to recovery for a few weeks. After they were sure everything was healing right he would then go to Forks Rehab facility until he was comfortable with getting around in his wheel chair. They allowed me to sit with him though he slept most the time.

I met Dr. Cullen's daughter, Alice, who was Charlie's nurse. She was nice and bubbly though on the short side with black spiky hair. She promised me everything should turn out fine. She sat and let me cry on her shoulder and I realized I would need to stay around and find some work. What does an 18 year old with no work experience have to offer? Alice said she'd make a call knowing her aunt was looking for a new waitress as long as I didn't mind serving, being on my feet and talking to local townspeople. She assured me it was the safest and would pay okay. Alice mentioned she worked there while in nursing school.

So here I am now in my old bedroom I hadn't lived in since I was 10 and trying to find comfort that Charlie was doing better than he was when I got here. I finally allowed sleep to take over in hopes of being rested for my first shift. I tossed and turned most the night but I got up when my alarm went off at 8 am. Liz, Alice's aunt asked that I be there at 10 after the breakfast rush and before the lunch rush so she could show me the ropes. They had been in need of someone for a while and she was grateful that I was here.

I dressed in skinny jeans and a black t-shirt with a blue and black plaid flannel shirt unbuttoned over it, unsure of what the dress code was. I kept my hair pulled back in a low pony tail and wore minimum make up. I really didn't want to overdo it with my normal wear but I did feel kind of weird not putting on my normal get up. I just really needed this job.

The walk to the diner wasn't very long. I would get tired of it after a while but the town was pretty small so most everything was in walking distance. Charlie only had his police cruiser so after I saved up enough I'd get me a car. The parking lot wasn't very full thankfully. The bell jingled over the door and most everyone looked up for a moment and then resumed their meals. From behind the counter stood a woman in her late forties with beautiful auburn hair and vibrant green eyes. She looked up and smiled at me immediately recognizing me.

"You must be Isabella!" She exclaimed excitedly. She seemed to be the only one working the front counter. "I am so glad you came. Alice said she thought you'd be for the job. We've been looking for weeks but in a small town like this we don't get newbies around here often."

"Actually, it's Bella and I am returning. My mom moved us away about 8 years ago." I looked around and noticed a few men sitting at the counter drinking coffee seeming in deep discussion. There was an older couple finishing their breakfast and a business man taking a call in a booth by himself.

"Oh that's right you're Rene's daughter. I knew you looked familiar. My sister, Esme and I grew up around here. We went to school with your parents but were a few grades ahead of them. I'm Liz Masen by the way. This is my family's place and my son, Edward, owns the mechanic shop out back. The lunch crowd will be here in a few hours so let me show you around before they get here."

So for the next hour and a half we walked around and she showed me how to clean, stock and helped me learn the menu. It was typical American diner food which I knew wouldn't be hard. By eleven o'clock she entrusted me with working at least the counter top which had only five chairs in front of it. It wasn't difficult to get in to the routine. The people were nice and I was enjoying earning a living for once. Rene always did what she could to provide for us until she married Phil who provided for us then. This was the first time I could say I did this for myself. As the place got busier it got warmer and Liz recommended I lose the flannel shirt.

At about 2 o'clock and group of men walked in. They seemed to be in their late twenties and had on leather vests. I caught the logo on one and it had a cross with the words "Masen MC" on the back of it. I wasn't born yesterday recognizing the group who looked like they stepped out of an episode of Sons of Anarchy. I counted about six total that sat around a big round table in the corner. Liz brought out a pitcher of coke to them. I worked at staying busy and stocking the counter from the lunch rush. A little while later Liz asked me to help her bring out their burger and fries. She carried the four burgers and had me carry two large orders of fries and two large orders of onion rings.

"I don't see why those pups would think they could come to this territory." I heard the large bulky one. Muscles didn't look up from where he was pouring ketchup over the fries.

"Apparently, Black has some business with someone in town and said it was legit just for a visit. They know they are only permitted to pass through town normally than stay", said the one next to muscles who had his blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail. Blondie looked up with a thankful smile as I set down his onion rings.

"Chief Swan's daughter is in town and Black is his old friend. So everyone settle the fuck down and deal with it. I agreed with Jake to allow a little lenience for the Wolves for a few weeks as long as they played nice." I looked up at what seemed to be the leader of the group who had a mess of brown hair atop his head with a chiseled strong jaw and the same piercing green eyes. Ah, I am going to say this must be Liz's son, Edward.

About that time Liz came out with extra napkins and more soda for the guys and heard the end of their conversation. She seemed to try to clear her throat looking at the Leader tilting her head my way. I just blushed and asked if there was anything else they needed.

"You can take residence right here sweetheart for the rest of my lunch." A guy on the other side of the table said. He had blue eyes and choppy dirty blonde hair. He was nice looking but nothing compared to El Capitan over there.

"As much as you may like that, I on the other hand wouldn't want to intrude since it sounds like I've caused enough trouble already." I said timidly walking back to the kitchen to take a much needed break. I grabbed my pack of cigarettes and stepped outside.

The air was crisp but a little dreary. I really didn't miss this weather after we moved to Florida. There was a slight mist and as I finished my first cigarette pulled my hair down and bent over. Of course I had to have perfect timing because before I could stand I heard the back screen door slam and boots walking my way. I turned standing up pulling my hair into a messy bun and came face to face with El Capitan himself.

Edward

Same shit different day seems to become my motto the past few weeks. I was getting bored and that was never good. Most the trouble seemed to show up when I became bored. For the most part business was doing great. We had become the number one go to mechanic shop in the area. The guys even had side projected they'd thrown themselves into. I on the other hand was feeling antsy like something big would be happening soon.

Most people think I just own the Masen Toolbox but I also was the head of our motorcycle club, Masen MC. I had been given the role after my dad passed of a heart attack five years ago. The club had just moved to town and the boys I roomed with at UDub decided to join up. Of course both of them were tied down with old ladies now. Alice my cousin, is engaged to Jasper who handles our money. Rosalie is a kindergarten teacher at Forks Elementary is married to my best friend Emmett who handles our security. Next to the shop we have a bar and dance hall we run as well. We gotta keep low key and not draw too much attention to what we got goin on and both business help with that.

I finally told the boys to break for lunch. We were all fucking starving. We headed over to Ma's place and grabbed our usual table. I immediately noticed the cute brunette behind the counter but hadn't heard of any new hires. This must be Chief Swan's daughter. I knew she was coming to town. I'd put up with shit from fuckin Black a few days ago when Charlie was shot at a drug bust no less. Charlie may be friends with Jake's dad but he was always good to us. We weren't into dealing drugs we just helped keep the peace in town and though we may enjoy the occasional mary-jane didn't distribute it and kept it in the club only.

She helped Ma drop off our food and I got a good look at the slender body of hers. She had on this tight black v-neck t-shirt and damn did it work for her. I noticed some ink on the inside of her wrist and on her hip bone when she stretched to place Emmett's basket of fries. I noticed the holes in her ears seemed a little bigger than your normal earring though she didn't have any in. I watched her as she finished passing out the rest of the baskets and picked up on the shadow on the side of her lip. I couldn't help it but notice the indention in her shirt where there was an obvious belly button ring sticking out. This definitely isn't the same little girl the Chief talks about often. I guessed her age about twenty trying to remember what the Chief had said.

Of course Mike had to ruin it by asking her to sit on his lap but then she shocked me by catching what we were talking about earlier when the guys complained about Black. She tried to slip away and stay out of it. I'd obviously had insulted her which wasn't my intention. I felt the need to apologize which really wasn't my style. The guys got into their lunches and I decided to go check her out. I mean she had a lot of shit to deal with obviously.

I stepped out back and walked around the corner knowing the back door slamming would announce my presence. I turned the corner and caught her ass in the air while she seemed to be pulling her hair up on top of her head but my eyes were glued to her ass. Damn was it perfect for both of my huge hands to grab. I could just barely see the black strings rising above the hem of her jeans. She turned and stood up before I could grab her.

"Look I didn't come here for trouble. My dad's hurt and I needed a job so please just don't." She said with a sigh as she grabbed a cigarette. I reached in my pocket for my zippo offering to light it for her. "Thanks." She muttered after it lit.

I pulled out my own and we just stood there smoking while looking each other over. "I'm glad the Chief's okay." I said lowly as I stepped a little closer. She seemed to be shivering so I slipped off my jacket and offered it to her. She gasped and looked up at me.

"I ain't nobody's old lady you know. Hell I'm barely old enough to be even be called young lady." She snickered as she put on my jacket. Well she obviously had me figured out a little more than I thought.

"You work for my Ma so you must be alright. I don't just give my jacket to anybody. It's on loan." I stated before I took another drag. "For now." I added stepping closer again. Damn, did she look good in my jacket.

"Look I said I didn't come here for trouble. I don't even know who the fuck this Jake guy is. My life is turned upside down right now. I just graduated a month ago with no idea where my life is going and now Charlie is paralyzed and I've got El Capitan here handing me his jacket which, I wasn't born yesterday, is a sign of possession." She let out a long breath trying to fight tears I could see forming in her eyes.

I made one last step closer grabbing hold of her hips. She looked up at me. I had at least a foot on her. She didn't stop me when I brushed a stray hair behind her ear and cupped her cheek. I let my thumb wipe away the lone tear that escaped. "I'll deal with Jake. He's the son of a friend of the Chief's. As for Charlie, he's tough and will get through this. And my jacket is for you to borrow for the moment. Let's just say the Chief and I are friends. We look out for each other. And that includes you so yeah I may be a little possessive cause I can tell you right now there is no way in hell you are sitting on anyone's lap but mine." With that I kissed her. And fuck did she taste amazing.

**This is a new one I've been playing around with in my head for a bit. I'm a sucker for a sexy bad boy and I like a tough Bella. This will most defiantly be a M rated story. Lots of cussing, alcohol, drugs and of course smut. This is a WIP. I haven't got very far in it and would like a Beta but unsure of how that works since I've never had one.

Please please leave me a comment of some constructive criticism I could use it! And if you have any ideas of where this story could go I'd love to hear it too. Like I said this is a WIP.**
