I walk through the terminal of the small Port Angeles airport looking for the man that was supposed to pick her up, Jacob Black. I walked to get my baggage and walk out into the rain, looking for the hulking man that I hadn't seen in about six months, he had come to help me pack up my apartment in California, and drove the u-haul truck back for me, since I had a few loose ends to tie up before I life the city.
"Bella!" I turn at the sound of my name to see Jasper Whitlock standing a few feet away from me, looking sexy as the devil. He had tight dark jeans, black biker boots, and a black henley shirt on, as he leaned against a black truck. Black was a good color for the man with honey blond hair and incredibly amber eyes.
"It's Isa now, Jasper. You know that." I say as I walk over to him, and watch his eyes roam over me. I was in a pair of jeans, riding boots, and a thermal shirt with a few buttons done. My burgundy hair up in a messy bun.
"You know that I love to tease you." He laughs as he hugs me tightly. Jasper is the only one of the Cullen clan of vampires that I still speak to; he had contacted me not long after I moved to California, to apologize for what happend at my eighteenth birthday party, and had been very close since then. He was the one that helped me figure out what I wanted to do with my life.
"I thought that Jacob was going to be picking me up?" I ask as we load my few bags into the truck, and I climb in. He hops in and hands me the aux cord, knowing that I have a few songs that I need to listen to, and approve before they get published for the rest of the public.
"He was, but he got caught up helping Billy prepare for the wedding, and called me. He knows that you don't want the rest of the Cullens knowing that your back yet, so I came. I can easily get around Alice and her Visions and block Edward from reading my thoughts. Do you want to go to your new house and freshen up, or go straight to Billy's to see your dad?" He asks as he pulls out of the parking lot and onto the highway.
"My house, I want to put my luggage up, then go see Charlie." He nods and heads towards town.
"So when are you going to tell the rest of the family that you're back? You know that it won't be long before they hear it through gossip." He asks a few minutes later, pulling into the driveway of my house. It's a simple two story, three bedroom house. One bedroom had been turned into a studio for my work and the other into an office for the more formal aspects of my job.
"We'll go over after I check in with Charlie. I know he has to be freaking out since the wedding is next week." I tell him as I walk into the house, he follows with the rest of my luggage. I quickly change into a pair of dark-wash ripped jeans, a pair of black combat boots and leave my thermal on. I run a brush through my hair and turn back to Jasaper, who I didn't realize was in the room as I changed. His eyes had went from a bright amber to a dark coal, showing and projecting his lust towards me.
"You know we can't do anything. I'm not your mate and the family still thinks that you and Alice are still married." I tell him as I brush past him, plucking the keys to my jeep grand cherokee off of its ring, and walk out to the garage.
"That doesn't mean I can't admire you, Isa." He rumbles from the door of the garage, I roll my eyes and pull out.
"I'll be by the Cullen house as soon as I see Charlie and see what he needs. But know that I will not take any of them pulling their manipulative bullshit. I'm over Edward and am only back in town because Charlie needs me, and I want to be close to him again." He nods as he gets in his vehicle and drives off.
Within minutes I am in La Push, heading to the little red house that I've always called a second home. Jake's new truck was in the drive, along with Charlie's. I knock on the door and Jake opens it, his bright white smile taking up his whole face. He wraps me in his scalding arms and carries me back into the house, sitting with me in his lap in his dad's favorite recliner.
"Bella is home!" He says, refusing to let me up and greet our parents, as I grumble and wave at them. When I left for college, after finding about the wolf pack, they regularly came down to visit, more so after Jacob took over as being Alpha, and the pack flourished.
"I just wanted to come and see you all, before I went and got a few things to take care of in town, before working a little bit." Charlie and Billy both laugh at me, knowing that I hate to take breaks for my work.
"At least tell me you are going to take a few days off before and after the wedding? Sue and I aren't having a honeymoon, we just want to spend time with everyone before we go back to work ourselves." I nod and he begins to tell me what he and Sue have planned for the wedding.
"You and Seth are still going to DJ right?" Jake asks, poking me in the ribs.
"You know I won't let anyone else do it, I have a few songs picked out to play, you overgrown puppy!" I laugh wiggling, trying to get away from his fingers.
After an hour of catching up, I hear a wolf howl outside the house, and in comes Paul Lahote, tugging me out of Jake's arms, searing his lips to mine. I mentally roll my eyes, knowing he is just pissing Charlie and Billy off. Paul and I had a fling not long after I graduated highschool, before I left for college, and it was purely sexual.
"I gotta go Paul, things to do, music to make." He nods as he plops on the couch beside Charlie, who smacks him upside the head. I say my goodbyes, get in my car and drive back over the invisible treaty line, into Vampire territory.
