Last Chapter...

"That's for not writing me jerk!" She snapped rudely and my minded clicked.

"Bella?"

Chapter Two – You Own Me

Bella smirked as Jacob's mouth dropped open.

"Gosh dad, I missed you so much!" Bella greeted Charlie, ignoring Jacob.

Charlie gave her a look over, not approving. "I am sending you to a convent," He said.

Bella sighed, "You have been saying that since I was five dad. FIVE!"

Charlie threatened. "Doesn't mean it isn't going to happen."

"I love you dad but I am a big girl now," Bella reminded him.

Charlie frowned and huffed with defeat. "You still have that mace I gave you?" He asked Bella and looked at Jacob pointedly with a silent threat.

He trusted the boy but after today… maybe not so much as Jacob was looking at his baby girl in a not-so-friendly way.

Bella blushed. "Dadddddddddd!"

He gave Jacob a glare who was looking at his daughter's behind. Jacob practically felt the glare burning holes into his skull; he averted his eyes and looked at everything but Bella.

"Bells I am sorry I didn't write…" Jacob said lamely, finally looking and focused solely on her face.

Her hand appeared in front of his face.

"Talk to the hand and save your excuses bub! You better prepare to grovel the next few days…" Bella glared at him and added, "Maybe even a few weeks!"

"Aww Bells…"

"Fetch my luggage," She snapped at Jacob and pointed to the baggage carousels at a bright red piece of luggage. "I have two that look just like that."

Jacob made a small whimper like a puppy as he went off.

"Bella don't you think your being a little harsh? The boy has been excited all week practically calling me every day asking if it was time to pick you up," Charlie said as Jacob walked to the carousel getting her luggage as she ordered.

Her face softened and she shrugged, "I guess I can be a little nicer." They both followed behind Jacob to help get her second piece of luggage.

Jacob came wheeling one of Bella's luggage and turned back for the other but Bella stopped him as Charlie went to find the other matching piece.

"I missed you," She said pulling Jacob into a hug.

Jacob's POV

I walked to get Bella's luggage after she chewed me out.

Man I knew I was going to pay one day for not writing her back. I couldn't help it. When she had left I had become depressed for weeks. She was…I mean is my best friend. Getting her letters and hearing how happy she was in Phoenix hurt me so badly.

She was without me.

How could she be so happy?

As I rolled her luggage back to her I turned to help Charlie find the other one.

"I missed you," Bella said suddenly and pulled me into a hug.

It felt like home. I sighed closing my eyes as I felt her body press against mine and I inhaled her scent. She was so soft and still smelled like strawberries. I opened my eyes to see Charlie giving me another death glare.

I put my arms up in mock surrender. "Don't worry chief I wasn't trying to do anything! Come on Bells is my best friend! We use to swim naked together!"

Charlie's glare deepened. Crap.

Bella punched me on the arm and looked at Charlie. "Dad stop it! Just so you know I have had boyfriends before!"

That did not help.

Hold on… did that mean Bella wanted me as her boyfriend?

'She is just your best friend!' My mind yelled at me.

"If Jacob visits the house, your door has to remain open at all times. Actually pretend you didn't hear me on that rule. No one of the male species that are friends or otherwise are allowed to enter your room," Charlie told her as we began walking to his cruiser.

"Dad you seriously drove the cruiser here?" Bella cheeks flushed in embarrassment at the sight of cruiser and at the mention of boys in her room.

Bella POV

The car ride home seemed to last life time as my dad talked to me… or should I say Jacob and I about the house rules. I could hear Jacob snickering in the back, trying to hold in a laugh here and there at some of my dad's new revised rules.

Basically no boys in my room, no slutty clothes, no vulgar language and no sex until I was 40.

I was hoping he would wait until Jacob was gone but it seemed since Jacob use to practically live there before I moved he needed to hear the new rules also. Some of them just made me want to bash my head into the dashboard.

After hearing the rules twice. My dad made us repeat them back. I quickly wished we stayed on the topic of rules because the next subject made me almost die.

I seriously… seriously did not need the birds and the bee's talk with my best friend in the car.

I sighed in sweet relief as we turned onto our street but then became completely mortified as my dad talked about defective condoms. I practically leaped out the car before it even stopped moving as it slowed down to park in front of the house. I was sure my face was bright red as my luggage. I gave Jacob a look as he got out the cruiser making sure he didn't say anything.

He has an amused expression on his face then cracked a small smile and chuckled softly at me.

'He is so sexy smiling like that.' My mind whispered. I shook my head to get the thought out and replaced it with a memory of us making mud pies together.

My dad went to greet a man that was sitting on the porch. They shook hands and the man was pointing to a light green brand new SUV parked across the street.

Jacob and I were getting the luggage out the back when the man and my dad approached me.

"Are you Isabella Swan?" The man asked. I nodded, looking at him in his suit. I was confused at who he was. He handed me a pair of keys and put a clipboard in my hand, "An early graduation gift from your mom."

"Wha-What? I graduate in two year…" I stuttered confused. 'Wow she must be missing me more than I thought.' I shrugged at signed the paper.

"Congratulations Miss Swan you are now the proud owner of a fully loaded Ford Hybrid Escape," The man said and left.

Jacob whistled at the SUV in appreciation and I threw him the keys knowing he would be begging to have a look. My dad looked sad for a moment as his eyes shifted to something in the driveway. I looked over curiously to see I guess a car and it was covered with an old blanket.

"What's that?" I asked.

My dad shifted uncomfortably. "Nothing Bella," He said firmly which only got me more curious.

I walked to the covered car and pulled off the sheet before he could stop me.

"NO WAY!" I squealed.

Standing before me was a 1963 Mercury Comet convertible.

The door, hood and body of the car were different colors, I guess they were salvaged parts from other cars. The top looked like it some duct tape in spots where there must have had been rips. The leather interior once white had brown stains and was ripped in a lot of places but duct taped down. It had a few dings but other than that… the body was in perfect condition. I ran to my dad hugging him. "I LOVE IT! LOVE IT!"

He stood there awkwardly for a second before giving into the hug, he wasn't the touchy feely type. Looking sadly across the street at the Ford. "Bella you know I don't have money like your mom and..."

"What? I love this car! I could only dream for something like this. THIS. IS. A. CLASSIC!" I said squeezing him more tightly. "You're the greatest dad ever!"

His whole face lit up with happiness.

Jacob walked back smiling as he watched me hugging my dad about the comet.

"Oh my gosh! Jacob did you know about this?" I said letting go of my dad, running my hand against the length of the car.

"Who do you think fixed it up?" Jacob asked.

"Where would you even find something like this out in Forks?" I asked my dad, it was a convertible and it rained like crazy here.

My dad looked at Jacob.

"Well actually I work part time towing cars and I got a call to tow this beauty to the junk yard," Jacob said. "I wouldn't have let it go but I didn't have enough money to fix it up so I called the old chief up since I know he was interested in one of our trucks. He looked at it and got me to fix it up."

I held my hand out, "Please please keys!" Jacob laughed as my dad fished in his pockets and tossed them to me. "Jacob and I are just going to go around the neighborhood dad!" I said hopping in. Jacob opened the door and it creaked as he sat in the passenger seat.

I tried to start it but it shuttered. I tried again… the engine turned and it roared to life.

I barely heard my dad yelling at Jacob to 'not try anything funny'.

We pulled out the driveway and laughed at my dad's antics.

A comfortable silence filled the car as we drove.

"Bella," Jacob said as we turned the corner.

"Yes Jacob?"

"I really am sorry I didn't write… I was so sad when you left… you loved being out there in Phoenix and I was left here. It was really… really hard," Jacob tried explaining. I understood him perfectly.

"I'm sorry," I said sadly. "I didn't think about it that way…"

"Don't say sorry Bella. You have nothing to apologize for. I'm the jerk I didn't write you back," Jacob told me.

I sighed. He felt guilty. If I know Jacob he wasn't going to stop being guilty until he did something to make up for it.

"You owe me big time... I thought I lost you forever," I sniffed with a pout.

Jacob laughed at my puppy face. "Ok I owe you. What's my punishment oh great one?"

"You will do anything I ask during this whole summer vacation," I said with a smirk.

The whole summer didn't seem that bad to Jacob. What's the worst she could do?

Wiggling his eyebrows, he agreed, "Ok master… you own me." Then he spit on his hand.

"Eww! Jake!"

"Do our handshake or its no deal," Jacob said holding out his hand.

I spit in my hand and shook his warm slimy hand. I quickly wiped the spit off on the side of my jeans when our hands separated.

"We need a new handshake," I told him my first official request.

We were approaching the house again and I pulled into the driveway.

We went to get out of the car but I turned to Jacob and grabbed his arm. I was about to whisper 'let's scare my dad like old times' in his ear but he turned his head to quickly probably wondering what I wanted and his lips accidentally met mine.

Thank you for the reviews!
