Chapter 1
BPOV
I pulled up to Sue's diner in my black and red 2012 Mustang Boss 302. I parked next to Paul's truck. I got out and closed the door and locked it. I walked through the door, the bell alerting a customer just walked in. I looked up to see Sue behind the counter at the register.

"Hey, Bella. Take a seat anywhere and I'll be right there."

I grabbed a menu and walked to where Paul was sitting, doing his college work.

"Mind if I sit here?" I asked.

"Help yourself." Paul didn't look when he said this.

I sat down and looked through the menu. Just then Sue came up.

"What can I get you to drink?"

"Dr. Pepper."

"I'll be right back with your drink." Sue walked away.

The bell chimed alerting another customer. I looked up and saw Kim walk in with a guy that I've never met before.

"Kimmie!" I squealed.

"Bella!"

I got up and tackled her into a hug. I raised an eyebrow and she giggled before she turned to introduce to her boyfriend.

"Bella, this is Jared. Jared, Bella."

"She's told me so much about you."

"She hasn't said a thing about you and she hasn't called me to say what she's been up to." I raised another eyebrow in her direction.

She averted her eyes somewhere else. I smirked.

"Well, I'm starved. See you later." Kim said.

"See you."

"Nice to meet you, Bella."

"You, too."

I waved at them. They waved back and I walked back to my seat across from Paul.

"Why are you here at a diner, of all places, doing college work?" I asked.

Paul shrugged. I rolled my eyes. Be that way, I'll get it out of you sooner or later.

JPOV (Jared)
Bella. Beautiful. She has soulful chocolate eyes. I thought I met everyone in La Push on top of me being born and raised on the reservation.

"Why haven't I met Bella before?" I asked Kim.

"She didn't go LPH. She went to Forks High, she rarely came here because of Edward."

"Whose Edward?"

"Not my place to tell you. You have to ask her. She didn't give me all of the details. Only guy she ever trusted with her secrets is Paul."

"So, she told Paul then you?" I asked.

She nodded.

"Holy fucking Christ on a cracker!" I heard an exclamation.

I looked up to see Bella pawing through her purse for something.

BPOV
"No this can't be happening." I muttered while pawing through my purse for my wallet.

"What is it, Bells?" Paul asked.

"My wallet's in my car and I thought I put it in my purse before getting out,"

"Oh," Paul looked nonplussed.

I got out of my seat and went to my car for my wallet. I grabbed it from the armrest.

A year later

JPOV (Jared)
I chuckled and pulled Bella closer to me. She snuggled into my side. I sighed.

"What is it, Jared?"

"I still haven't told Kim about us." I sighed again.

"You better do it soon." Bella said.

I pecked her lips.

"It's going to be hard telling her even after all this time." I whispered against her lips.

We went back to watching Clash of the Titans.

Flashback
I was invited to Sam's place for a cook out. Kim and I weren't as close as before I met Bella. I pulled up and parked next to a sharp looking red and black Mustang Boss 302. I was eyeballing the interior and imagining the power of it when I'm behind the wheel. I jumped when Bella touched my arm.

"Hey, you're the only one here besides me." She smiled at me.

"This is a nice car."

"Thanks." She blushed.

My eyes nearly bugged out of my head. This is her car? I think I just creamed my pants.

"This is yours?"

She nodded. I whistled, impressed.

"Do you use all of the horsepower?" I had to ask, it was a guy thing.

"No I use it for style. I get heads turned when I'm in PA."

"That's a turn on when I see a girl owning a sports car." I muttered under my breath.

"Did you say something?" She asked.

"Hmm? No." I was almost caught.

"Come on, Emily would have my head if I didn't get started on the salad."

She turned and walked to go inside the house. I watched her walk up the steps. I watched her ass move. Before she reached the door, she turned and raised an eyebrow at me.

"Aren't you coming or are you going to be checking my ass out the whole time?"

Shit. Busted. I vaulted up the steps in a second. I opened the door for her, careful not to stare at her luscious ass. Holy fucking Christ on a cracker! This can't be happening. I shouldn't be thinking about another woman's ass. No matter how gorgeous she is.

"Where's Sam and Emily?" I asked.

"Sam's working at a construction site along with the guys. Em's shopping for food. She had enough for salad but not all of the ingredients for the food." She said, walking into the kitchen.

I followed behind her like a lost puppy.

"How do you Sam and Emily and everyone else?"

While she was making salad, I was asking questions. I want to get to know her better.

"I grew up with them. Emily and I keep the guys in line." She had an evil glint in her eye that had me cowering in my seat.

She giggled when she saw me cowering.

"I'm more of a baby sister to them. If Edward ever set foot on the reservation again, Paul threatened violence."

"What happened with this Edward guy?" I was curious so I had to ask.

"It's a long story." She answered.

"I got time."

"I will tell you soon but later."

"Fair enough. What's going on between you and Paul?"

"Paul and I been closer than I have with the others because he needs someone looking after."

"Ain't he the known ladies man of La Push?"

"He lets everyone think that but really he has a heart of gold. How he came to that rumor, well, it's not my place to tell."
