Author's Note: I hardly spent any time editing this chapter. Forgive me. I'm only human and I don't deny that I make mistakes. I was just excited to get this chapter out to everyone! Enjoy and yeah, there is a tiny lime in here. You have been forewarned!

Unexpected Circumstances

"Dad!" I threw a pile of my discarded wigs across my small bedroom with as much force as I could muster. "Stupid, fucking... Damnit! Where the hell is it? DAD!"

"You don't have to yell," Charlie stated from the hall as he poked his head around the doorframe.

I stood up and swiped the hair out of my sweaty face. "I can't find my laptop. Did you see it downstairs?" Never have I been one to leave things lying around, especially my Macbook. Everything on it was important to me. Videos, pictures, songs...

"I haven't seen it," he informed me. Seeing the desperation on my face had Charlie quickly offering to help with my search. "But, I'll go check and make sure."

An hour later the whole house had been overturned and the laptop was still nowhere to be found. Charlie scratched his head thoughtfully. "Didn't you take it over to the Cullens' house last weekend?"

My eyes lit up and a spark of hope blossomed. "Yeah! I'm going to go call Alice."

I raced up the stairs two steps at a time and flew into my pigsty of a room. I grabbed my phone and quickly dialed Alice's number.

"I was just about to call you," Alice chirped.

"Did I leave my computer at your house?"

"Uh... it's not in my room. Hold on. I'll ask Edward for ya."

I winced as her shouts penetrated my ear. "Edward! Bella wants to know if she left her laptop in your room!"

She relayed his answer momentarily. "Nope. Sorry, Bella."

"Shit! What could I have done with it?" My mind spun trying to remember the last time I had used it.

"Did you take it to Jasper's?" Alice asked trying to help.

"No."

"Well... Come over here and we'll look for it before I have to get ready for my date. It's bound to turn up somewhere."

The clothes I had been tossing around fell limp in my grasp as I caught her words. "Date?"

Alice giggled. "What the fuck, Ali! When were you going to tell me? Did you ask Jasper or did he ask you?"

"That's why I was going to call you," she insisted. "And I don't have a date with Jasper..."

I fell on my knees, rendered speechless. Silence filtered through as she let me take it in. Finally I forced out another question. "Who?"

"Jacob."

"That fucker! How did he even get your number?"

I barely registered Alice's words in the receiver as I stomped down the hall to Jacob's room and knocked on his door. "Ali, I'll be there in like twenty minutes," I muttered ending the call.

Jacob answered in a cocky drawl. "What brings you to my door at such an early hour?"

"Did you take my laptop," I growled, shoving my way inside.

"Nope. What's this about?"

"How did you get Ali's number?"

"Oh, that."

"Yeah, that."

"I kinda stole your phone the other day." Jacob had the decency to look ashamed.

"But it has a password!"

Jacob rolled his eyes. "Yeah, an easy one. EC123 was not that hard to think of."

"You do know that Edward is going to freak, right?" I warned.

"That is why I have you," Jacob laughed heartily.

My eyes narrowed. "Don't forget that I know how you are with girls, Jake. Alice is my best friend so just know that if you fuck with her, you fuck with me."

"Jesus! It's not like we're going steady. She's hot. I want to take her out. She wants to go out. It's a win-win for us both."

"You better make this the best night of her life, Jacob Black," I muttered stalking towards the door before turning around. "Oh, and keep your paws to yourself."

"Yes ma'am," Jacob mocked. "I promise I'll behave."

I nodded. "You'd better."

…

"Who does he think he is," Edward fumed. "Asking my little sister out on a date. We have to follow them!"

I just laughed and wrapped my arms around Edward's waist. "She has to grow up at some point, Edward. Besides, I already had a nice talk with Jacob. He's going to be on his best behavior tonight."

"We still need to follow them," he said seriously.

I looked up at him and scoffed. "What if I had a brother who did that to us. Don't you think that would be a little annoying, and insulting?"

Edward frowned. "Yeah," he muttered. "I guess so."

Standing up on the tip of my toes, I placed a soft kiss on his lips. "Let's go downstairs and see how the interrogation is going."

When Jacob arrived to pick up Alice at exactly seven o'clock on the dot, Esme had surprised us all when she insisted that he join them in the living room for a few questions. Carlisle was pleasantly at ease with Jacob but Esme tore into him like a starving dog after a steak.

"What are your plans for the future? How many girls have you dated? Will you treat my daughter with respect? Where are you taking her? Will you have her home on time? Do you plan on behaving inappropriately with my daughter. What are your intentions? Your expectations?" The list went on and granted, Alice was mortified but who wouldn't be? What shocked me the most was how Jacob clammed up. His arrogant attitude crumbled and a quivering teenage boy had stood in his place.

Unfortunately, I was unable to watch the whole scene because Edward had slipped out. I found him pacing his room with his keys in his hand, ready to follow the couple on their date.

As we entered the living room, everyone was standing and saying their goodbyes. Edward squeezed my hand and whispered in my ear. "Check on Ali. She looks like she's gonna be sick." I hesitated, realizing that Edward just wanted a moment alone with Jacob. It was his brotherly right to threaten his little sister's date so I agreed and crept over to a nervous Alice.

She reached out for me as soon as I was in front of her. "I can't do this," she hissed.

"Of course you can," I assured her. "You've got this and Jake's easy to talk to because he does most of the talking. Just nod and reply every now and then. He'll never know the difference," I teased.

Alice chuckled and hugged me appreciatively. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it."

…

"I can't believe we're doing this," I griped. "If they catch us I will tell them that you forced me to come with you."

"Just humor me," Edward snapped pulling out a pair of binoculars that he had bought at the Newton's store half an hour ago.

"I am humoring you! That is why we are here, stalking your poor sister and her date. It's only this once. You're not doing this again."

"Yeah, yeah." He waved me off, adjusting the focus on his binoculars.

I huffed, leaning back into my seat trying to get comfortable. We followed Jacob and Alice to a small Italian restaurant in Port Angeles. Jacob was being a gentleman, opening doors and pulling out chairs. I know this because, much to Edward's excitement, the hostess led the couple to a booth by the window facing the street.

Alice seemed to be taking my advice to heart. She rarely spoke, letting Jacob take the lead in their conversations. In all honesty, she looked completely bored.

After awhile even I got bored. I decided to play a little game. Feeling down the side of my seat, I pulled the lever to adjust it backwards so that it was lying down. Untying the laces on my boots, I worked them off my feet and fell back along the crisp leather. Shifting, I pulled my right leg up and over allowing my foot to find its way in Edwards lap. My toes worked their way over the bulge in his pants and in the most seductive voice I could muster I began my torture.

"I'm so turned on right now," I moaned dramatically.

Edward glanced down at his lap. His hooded eyes finally flickered up to mine. I licked my lips and he actually whimpered. "You're doing this on purpose!"

"Yeah, so? It doesn't change the fact that I need a little attention from my boyfriend."

He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. Turning back to the restaurant, he picked the binoculars back up and readjusted them. I sat up and leaned over the console.

"You can't deny that you're fucking horny too," I whispered, nibbling on his ear. "What's it been? Five days since you've touched me. A week since I've touched you?" My fingers had found their way into his pants and Edward was audibly gasping for breath as I released his erection from the confines of his boxers.

His head hit the back of his seat with force, his binoculars forgotten. "Fuuuuuck."

Pleased, I ripped them from his grasp tossing them to the back. His empty hands fumbled with my shirt as I kissed him trailing my fingers teasingly over his throbbing length.

My eyes flew to the restaurant one last time and I froze. "Jasper," I blurted.

Edward stilled beneath me, his eyes flashing open. "What did you just call me?"

"No!" I pulled away and dove into the backseat for the binoculars. "Jasper just walked in! He's going to see them."

Edward groaned and pulled up his pants. "And why does this matter more than what we were about to do?"

I sighed and explained. "Because they are both in love with each other but they're too stubborn and shy to make the first move. Jasper's going to see Alice with Jacob and think the worst!"

"They are not in love with each other," Edward said exasperated.

"Shows what you know."

I watched as Jasper made his way inside with his mother. The hostess was going to take them right by Alice and Jacob's table. As he passed by, their gazes caught. Jasper looked between the pair not watching where he was going. The hostess had stopped to let a waiter by with a tray full of food. I gasped as he collided with the waiter, flinching as bits of food rained down over his head.

Jacob and Edward burst out laughing. I backhanded Edward on his shoulder. "Stop it." He rubbed his arm but continued to chuckle at the scene.

Jasper waved off his concerned mother and stood up awkwardly brushing away stray pieces of lettuce that had clung to his sweater. Alice went to help him but he backed up brusquely, turning to escape towards the restroom. She didn't hesitate to follow.

Jacob's laughter cut off abruptly as he watched his date dash after another guy. He glanced around the restaurant and shrugged, digging into his food.

"Jake," I muttered to myself. "You can be such an asshole sometimes."

"Do you see them yet," Edward asked impatiently. It had been several minutes and neither Alice nor Jasper had reappeared. Jacob, having finished his meal, kept glancing at his watch and Jasper's mother, not looking the least bit concerned, had just received her meal.

"No. Wait!" I caught a glimpse of Ali's jet black hair. "I see Alice. She's... Oh my God, they're holding hands!" I squealed. Edward snatched the binoculars away from me.

"Let me see," he insisted.

We scuffled for control. "Give it back! I want to see them!" Finally we settled on sharing. Our heads pressed together so we could view the soap opera that played out in front of us.

Jacob sat back, shocked as Alice spoke animatedly, probably to explain how she was leaving with some other guy. She looked apologetic but adamant. Jasper remained silent, gazing down at Alice adoringly. Jacob finally stood and, to both Edward's and my amazement, smiled and shook Jasper's hand.

"What the hell..." Edward drew in a sharp breath as Jacob leaned over to give Alice a parting hug. He and I watched as they left the restaurant hand-in-hand.

Edward hastily rammed the keys into the ignition ready to follow them. I placed my hand gently over his and shook my head.

His face fell into a pout and he whined. "Please?"

"Leave them alone, Edward. Let's go back to your place." A devious grin spread across his face which was instantly replaced with a scowl when I further explained wanting to return to his home. "I still have to find my stupid laptop."

He growled. "How about I buy you a new fucking laptop and we finish what you started earlier."

I just snickered and tugged on his hair. "If you help me find my computer... Well, let's just say that the reward will blow you away."

"Baby, I love it when you talk dirty to me," he teased.

In record time we were back at the Edward's house scouring every nook and cranny for my lost laptop. Edward finally gave up. "I don't think it's here."

I exhaled sadly. "Yeah, I knew it wasn't here but I had to try. There's no where else it could be."

"I have something that might cheer you up," he said suddenly. Booting up his computer he clicked on the Photoshop icon. "I finished the cover!"

"Oh, that looks fucking awesome!" Edward had taken Emmett's black and white photography of the band and enhanced it with paint splatters. "I love that font."

"Thanks." Edward blushed sheepishly. "I printed off a mockup." He handed me a CD case with the pre-printed booklet already stuffed in the case. "Now all you need is to proof it, show the guys, and let me know if I need to fix anything so we can take them to the printers."

"It's perfect," I breathed, inspecting the cover thoroughly. "I'm going to text it to Jane. I'll let her share it with Alec and Jasper." I had pulled out my phone to take a picture when I noticed a bunch of messages. I scrolled through several YouTube friend requests and new subscriber alerts.

"Huh, that's funny..."

"What?"

"I haven't uploaded anything new on YouTube lately but I just got a ton of friend requests and shit. Can I use your computer?"

"Be my guest." He rose, holding the chair steady so I could sit down. I signed on the website and went to my inbox.

"Damn," Edward muttered as he hovered over me. "Two thousand six hundred and forty-seven new subscribers," he whistled. "And look at how many friend requests you got!"

"I don't understand," I mumbled.

"Wait! Go back up," Edward demanded. "Look, there! It's a new video that was uploaded today."

"But I haven't uploaded anything..." I clicked on the link and waited for the video to load. I was shocked to see Jasper's garage come into focus. Font filled the screen next.

I have a little surprise for everyone!

The camera zoomed in to show myself, undisguised, practicing with the band. We had been working on a new song I had written called Snow White Queen.

I'm tired of hiding behind my username...

I will no longer just be known as LadyMystery...

My face filled the screen, clear as day. A photograph of myself performing at one of my concerts last summer popped up next to the video.

That's right, bitches.

Isabella's back!

I was dumbfounded. Refreshing the video, I sat back to watch it again. Who had found out? How had they found out? How could we not notice we were being filmed? One thing I was certain of, whoever did this had stolen my laptop.

Author's Note: I know, I know! It was short, but I had to end it here otherwise it would have been extremely long and you would have had to wait even longer for an update. Please, don't everyone thank me at once! hehe

A lovely reviewer recommended the song "Snow White Queen" by Evanescence thinking it would be something Bella would write about her past and after listening to it I totally agree. I had to fit it in the story somehow! You must listen to it. A link will be available on my profile page. Thanks to The Agent of Fire for the suggestion.

P.S. The CD cover Edward made can also be found on my profile page.
