Bella Black.

Bella Swan-Black

Isabella Swan-Black.

Nah. Just Bella Black. I liked the sound of that.

In just one more week, I would forever be known as Bella Black, Jacob Blacks wife.

It was inevitable that it would happen; since junior year of high school, it had always been Bella and Jake- Jake and Bella.

Jake was the local sports hero, captain of the football team and record holder in the 200-meter race on the track team. Jake was bound and determined to find some way out of our small town using his God-given talents; he knew he didn't have the book smarts to make it any other way. Pushing his body to its limits, he found his way out to become the best quarterback the Seahawks had seen in decades.

My way out was using my brain, and that's how I found myself at twenty-eight, associate editor of "Have Spoon, Will Travel", the leading food-travel magazine in the Pacific Northwest based here in Seattle.

My travels took me to faraway places like Indonesia, China and Japan; I had seen the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but nothing compared to coming home and seeing the Space Needle lit up at night as it welcomed me home to Jake.

Tonight was Jake's bachelor party. My best friend Alice and I had devised a sort of surprise for Jake at their last stop. They would be ending up at "Lucky's", the burlesque club Alice co-owned with her husband, Jasper and her brother, Edward. Most women probably wouldn't appreciate their future husbands spending a night out with his buddies at a burlesque club, but I didn't mind. I had complete trust that Jasper and Edward wouldn't let anything get out of hand.
