Chapter Ten

The weeks rolled by after that night at Emerson house. Bella could barely remember her life before she came to Santa Carla now. This was he home and these boys were here family. Bella was sat in front of Paul, straddling the rail at the edge of the beach leaning back into his chest. David and the other guys stood around them.

Bella snuggled further back into Paul's chest and he smiled wrapping his arms around her. She turned her head, kissing under his jaw. She took advantage of his distraction to steal the joint he had behind his ear. She pulled back a moment later and put it between her lips with a smirk. David laughed at Paul's expression and reached forward lighting it for her.

Bella took a few drags before she handed it to Paul with a smile. None of them were aware they were being watched. Paul smoked some before returning the joint to Bella who took a couple of pulls then handed it off to Marko. Feeling more bold as she usually did when she got high Bella turned facing Paul and pulled him down kissing him. Paul groaned, wrapping his arms around her.

"Bella," Edward said reprimanding. Bella pulled back from the kiss and Paul followed where she was looking.

"You have got to be kidding," Bella said. The other four vampires turned looking at the Cullen's. Bella swung her leg over the railing and dropped to her feet gracefully. "What the hell are you doing here?"

Carlisle stepped forward and cleared his throat. She had once looked up him. Now she just found him patronizing. The others stepped beside her and Paul put his arm around her. Edward growled lowly and eyed his arm hatefully. "Oh shut it, Edward," she told him. He looked at her shocked.

"Bella," he said stunned.

"Want to introduce us, Bells?" David asked.

"These are the Cullen's," Bella told them. David, Dwayne and Marko frowned while Paul snarled quietly. Bella looked at the Cullen's. "These are my brothers. David, Dwayne and Marko. And this is Paul." She looked up into his eyes and he pulled her in for a kiss. Bella almost forgot the Cullens were even there until she heard Alice's irritating voice.

"Bella, what are you doing?!" Alice screeched. "They are vampires."

Bella pulled away smirking. "I know they are, Alice, because I am one too."

"Bella?"

"Shocked that someone could actually want me around forever, Edward?"

He opened his mouth to answer but Jasper stepped forward and spoke first. "We didn't know you were here, Bella," Jasper told her.

She looked at blonde vampire and nodded. "Fine, but leave me alone. This is my family now and I am happy."

Bella walked away with guys and climbed on Paul's bike behind him. She shot them one last smirk before they pulled away, speeding down the road. The Cullen's stood stunned watching the leave.
