Just Add Crazy Chapter 4, a twilight fanfic

A/N - I did it! I got a chapter up in a reasonable amount of time! I'm unbelievably proud of myself, I do have to say. I also have another confession. I think I may possibly be in love with you guys. Is it too soon in our relationship for me to say that? What the heck, had to get it out there ;)

Your response has been amazing. Thanks so much for the reviews/alerts/favorites/PM's and all the other crazy stuff you guys do. I just love it, it really makes my day.

This might be a little shorter than the others but it is just the end of chapter three! Enjoy…

Chapter Four
Bella's POV

I watched shocked as Mike spat out a mouthful of sand gagging slightly. Yeah, serves you right, I thought amused. I looked up ready to thank Jake for coming to my rescue once again only to find it hadn't been him at all. Nope, definitely not Jacob. I don't think it would ever be possible for me to find him as attractive as I found this man in front of me. Oh and what a man he was.

Surprisingly he was wearing nothing but a short sleeved shirt despite the colder weather but it didn't seem to affect him at all. Weird. Not that I was complaining. The way the tight material clung to each defined muscle was almost a sin. My eyes trailed his sweet, sweet abs until I was met with a jaw that could cut stone. He was perfect. His face was stern, laced with anger. It didn't look right there and I had to fight every deep urge to reach out and smooth his features. His incredibly rugged but handsome features.

Thankfully I wasn't on the receiving end of said anger and he had missed my obvious perusal of his body. I almost felt sorry for Mike. Almost. He was drunk, he hadn't meant to come onto to me. Well, maybe he had but I was sure had he been sober he would have understood my 'no'. At least, I hoped so, but apparently this guy didn't seem to think so as he directed his scornful gaze at the slightly pathetic form at his feet.

"What the hell man?" Mike slurred, flabbergasted as if he hadn't just tried to force himself on me seconds ago. This was why I was almost sorry, he actually didn't seem to think his actions were wrong.

My mystery guy just cocked a brow at him, snarling quietly. If I hadn't been so used to the company of vampires, the sound would have probably alarmed me but at the time I didn't even notice it. Mike huffed at his lack of response and pushed himself up unsteadily while brushing sand from himself.

"C'mon, Bella," he hissed, nudging passed me, "let's go." I gaped at him and I fully admit there's a strong chance I resembled a fish. Did he receive a little brain damage while he was eating sand? Why else would he have assumed I'd go anywhere with him.

"I don't think Bella," the way my name slipped from his lips made me shiver pleasurably, "will be going anywhere with you," his voice tightened.

Mike just scoffed before stumbling back to a group where I noticed Jessica staring at out exchange. I'd hear about it on Monday. Like it was really my fault. I turned around without a second glance to face my night in shining armor. His dark eyes were smoldering.

I smiled shyly. "Thanks," I mumbled. My eyes met his and I resisted the urge to close the gap between us and touching every part of his tanned body I could reach. He really was something to behold.

I silently berated Jake for those two drinks; they really were messing with my head. Unless it was him. Hmm, drunk from… nameless?

"It's no problem, Bella," oh God there goes my name again; "I couldn't leave someone so beautiful to be harassed all night, now could I?"

I wanted to giggle girlishly and I never giggle, girly or not. I blushed instead. I just stood there staring and I realized he probably thought I was mentally challenged or something by now. His face fell considerably. "Are you OK?" he asked frantically, moving closer. "He didn't hurt you did he?"

It was a wonder how he was so much more coherent than I but then figured I didn't affect him half as much as he did me. Just because he may have called me beautiful didn't mean he was actually attracted to me. He could have just been jokingly flirting, I'd heard guys do it a lot.

I felt an overly warm hand on my shoulder. I looked down to see his large hand resting on my waterproof. Looking back at him he ducked his head down to make eye contact with me. "Bella?" he whispered.

My eyes widened at his soft tone. It was intimate. Too intimate for a girl who'd just broken up with her girlfriend. Too intimate for a stranger. I pulled back abruptly, his hand falling at the sudden movement. "I'm fine," I said a little too harshly and couldn't help feeling bad immediately.

He opened his mouth to say something when a loud booming voice cut him off. It reminded me marginally of Emmett making me cringe. By leaving Edward I had effectively left his family. My family. I considered Alice and Emmett like siblings, even Jasper on some levels even though we weren't as close. Rosalie, not so much, but I admit I'd still miss her incredibly narcissist personality. I frowned at my train of thought. Why was I thinking of my ex-boyfriend's family when this Adonis of a man was standing in front of me?

"Yo Sam," the voice shouted. I turned to the sight slightly to see an equally as tall, equally as hot - OK maybe not equally as hot, the guy who I assumed to be Sam definitely made me tingle more - running towards us. I noted Jared following behind with a grimace.

Sam turned swiftly with a glare that matched the one he'd sent Mike earlier. Apparently he didn't like to be interrupted. "What?" he snapped. He did not look happy. I felt sorry for Jared and the other guy.

The one who had shouted didn't look fazed as he stopped in front of us. "It's Embry." His voice wasn't the slightest bit out of breath despite having just ran across the beach. He didn't acknowledge me, just looked at Sam with a meaningful expression.

Sam sighed and ran a hand through his short hair. "Jesus, Embry? Already? It was quicker than we thought." He sounded alarmed. I wondered if this Embry was the same as Jake's Embry. I couldn't imagine it being a very common name. Did Jake know there was something wrong with him?

Jared nodded feverously. "He won't calm down, Sam," he said panicked. "We need you."

Sam turned his hardened gaze on him for a moment. "So if you and Paul are here, who the hell his attempting to calm him?" He raised a brow at Jared, looking at him condescendingly.

"Shit," Jared murmured before running off in the direction they came. I watched in shock as he ran straight for the surrounding trees. Was it safe to go in there while it was dark?

Paul was beginning to look impatient. Sam turned to look back at me as I stood awkwardly. I was unsure whether I should have walked away while they were talking or whatever. "I'm sorry, Bella," oh Jesus, someone stop him saying my name like that, "but I have to go." His voice sounded deflated, as if he didn't want to go. I found myself not wanting him to leave either, surprisingly.

Paul must have noticed my presence then as his eyes fell on me. He looked between Sam and I for a moment, seeing the intense gaze in Sam's eyes before smirking. "I'm so very sorry that I have to steal your Sammy away," Paul said in a childish voice. My Sammy? "But it really is important."

Sam whipped a glare at Paul, whether at him calling him 'Sammy' or the blatant assumption in his tone, I didn't know. He pushed Paul's shoulder roughly but he just laughed it off and began walking backwards. Sam smiled softly at me. "Goodbye Bella."

He started to follow Paul before I had a chance to say anything. I stood awkwardly once again, unsure of what to do next. I had no idea where Quil and Jacob had snuck off to so I was alone. I cursed under my breath as I glanced at Sam and Paul's retreating forms. They were almost out of hearing range before I heard Paul's deep voice once more. "Dude, Bella, seriously?" he laughed loudly. "That's Jacob's girl, man. You just stole our alpha-to-be's lady friend."

A/N - I'd love to know what you think, I really would. A small but bittersweet interaction between Bella and Sam. It may have not been the most perfect meeting but trust me things will get better between them, after all Sam will have to lay his charm on thick to show Bella that having a mythical creature for a boyfriend isn't so bad.

Also, I figured because I'm feeling creative and just in the general mood to type, I'll say a little thanks to all the reviewers from chapter two because I can ;)

Omg, guys, also, it's June 14th today meaning... it's my 20th birthday. Wow, I'm no longer a teenager anymore. The thought depresses me slightly! :( So you should review.. because it's my birthday and all!
