"The art museum want to send me to France , Italy and then, Alaska? Did I hear that right?" Bella asked as she did a double take from her school director to the owner of the most promote gallery owner in the Europe. "yes, Bella you have been doing such an awesome job and you are #1 in your class. Because of how advanced you are we want to send you to these places so that you can get more experience and as a job opportunity. Mr. Franco is looking for a new artist to open exhibits for all over the world. He has seen your work and he wants to put it in some of his exhibits. But also this opportunity will help you graduate early. You can study abroad and get your degree once you complete the trip."her school director said with a smile.
"wow! This is amazing! Of course absolutely!" bella said with excitement. Shed get to travel the world and graduate as soon as she was done.
"awesome, once we get your paperwork through, we will send you off."
With that said Bella rushed to her apartment to call Jacob . Normally, they would talk every night at midnight but she just couldn't wait. It was 7pm in forks so he was probably having she text him instead. Hey babe, I miss you. I know your probably having dinner but I just had to tell you. i got an opportunity to travel to France, Italy and Alaska. As soon as the programs over ill be able to graduate and come home! With a fancy job too! I hope you're doing good. Im proud of you and I know your working hard. I love you! And ill see you soon.
Jacob sucked in a breath as he read the text message. He was currently having dinner with the pack and expression caused unwanted attention. "jake you ok?" sam embry asked as he stuffed his face with a piece of chicken. "huh?Oh yeah um ill be right back." Jacob responded half dazed as he ran out the house. Stopping at the treeline, he pulled out his would be coming home! And traveling the world. She answered on the first ring. "babe?" jacob relaxed. It was different from hearing her voice at midnight when they were both half asleep. "honey! Is it true?" "it is jake. It is. Their sending me to France, italy and Alaska. Once I complete that, I can graduate and then they'll officially sign me on as a artist for their gallery!"
"how long?" jacob asked his heart pounding. "one year." She whispered
One year. One year. One year. His wife, would come home in one year. His wolf howled in excitement. They could start their lives. "oh bells, im so happy! But I gotta see you before you leave. I'm coming their tonight." Jacob declared. "tonight! Babe you—" he cut her off "no arguments. Its bad enough I cant see you but now your going to be traveling all over the country. Who knows when ill be able to talk to you again. So be ready for me. Well talk more tonight."
Sam and Billy black sat at the blacks kitchen table. Jacob had said he wanted to see them and it was extremely important. "do you know what this is about? Sam asked billy. "I have no clue." Billy replied. Five minutes later, jacob came in from his sisters old room. "sorry, I had to get Amanda asleep. Becca had to go somewhere, so offered to get the kids to bed. But any who, the reason I ask you guys here is because I need to discuss something ."
"alright, go ahead son."
"…I need to leave again."jacob asked nervously
"WHAT! Jacob you cant be serious!" sam responded
"son, why in the world would want to leave?" billy asked a little calmer then sam
"okay before guys freak out just listen. Its literally for a few hours. I just need to handle some business and then im coming right back. Please im coming right back and I came to you guys first before I just took off."
Billy sighed. "do you really need to do this?"
Jacob nodded. "fine jacob, well keep you to your word. You come right back here by tomorrow morning 10 am . is that clear?" sam said firmly . "yes. Thanks sam, I promise ill be back. Oh and their something else."
"what?" billy and sam asked at the same time
"well , I know the house is full and were praticllay sleeping on top of each other. So I wanted to ask you if we could expand it. Add some rooms ya know.?"
"well son this house has been the same since your mother and I moved in it and I think its time for a change." Billy responded. Jacob smiled and turned towards sam. "sam I could use the packs help and with the shop up and running we could really do some things around here."
Sam was surprised. He knew about Jacobs shop but he didn't realize just how much jacob wanted to help improve the pack and the tribe. He would watch jacob do his volunteer hours with some of the older people on the tribe and after the volunteer hours were over, hed still take the time out to help. " I think it's a great idea jacob. When you get back well discuss it more in details." "alright, sounds good!"
With that said jacob said his goodbyes and left the house.
Bella had the candles lit, the dinner cooked and put something a bit more sexy on. She was so glad that jacob was coming. It had been few months since he left and so much was going on. He had told her about Rachel and the imprint with Paul but also Rebecca showing up with her kids. Jacob was going to bring pictures which she was glad for. She had a nephew and a niece,it made her a little upset that she couldn't meet them yet but she just had to be patient. The only thing that stopped her from enjoying the situation too much was going to Italy. The volturi lived there and the last time she face them Alice promised that she would be changed but since the wedding was canceled she didn't know what the cullens did to detour them or if they even did. Bella was so wrapped up in her thoights that she didn't hear jacob come into the apartment.
Jacob had let his wolf completely take over. His mate was distracted, and didn't see him. Which gave him the perfect opportunity to wrap his arms around her. "you smell good."
Bella jumped when she hard her husband. Well, now it was his wolf. "I do really?" she asked as she felt him sniff her neck and grab her a little tighter. "yes you do, now come to bed. I only get you for one night and were gonna make it last. Ill give you a night to remember."
