After retrieving my luggage, I frantically searched the large crowd in the Port Angeles airport. Charlie and Jake had both promised to pick me up from the airport, seeing as my truck no longer ran. Jake had tried to save it after the motor blew weeks before I left. I had been on the way to the grocery store, getting supplies for the usual Friday night baseball get together. Billy usual brought his fish fry, but I had insisted on making my famous garden burgers. He was surprised by my effort, but gave in quickly. Probably happy to see me functioning again.
Half way to the only grocery store in town, my baby began to shake, well more then normal. Promising myself to have Jake check it out before dinner, I continued the drive. Minutes later the truck came to a stop, with a final rumble, it died right there. Cursing under my breath, I called Jake to come pick me up. He arrive 15 minutes later and proceeded to laugh when I shed a few tears over the loss of my baby. Back at the garage, my guess was confirmed. It had reached the end of it life. I know this all might sound a little dramatic, but I loved that truck. And even after 2 years, I was not quite ready to purchase a new vehicle. Not that I need one while I was in Florida. Our house was within walking distance of the beach and all the 'hot' clubs and restaurants. Those were Renee's words not mine. She was quite the little partier, and even had convince me to join her. It had surprising fun, and even helped me overcome my shy nature.
Still searching for them, I was starting to think they were running late, when I seen the tall form of Jacob Black. Man had time done him well ! I swear the boy, well man now, must have grown over a foot. Jake had already been a giant compared to my 5'4 height, but now pushing 7 foot, I would look like a child next to him. Also his long, smooth, jet black hair had been chopped off. I had always loved his hair, and had told him that once. A sunny smile had spread across his face and then agreed to not cut it for me. Which caused me to turn a thousand shades of red, but I secretly hoped he would keep that promise. Multiple times after that day, I found myself running my hands thorough those soft strands. He never complained, only sighed and leaned more into my hands.
But as I took in the new Jacob from afar, I had to admit he looked incredibly sexy. Jake had always been an attractive boy, I never told him that though, because I didn't want to lead him on. Trust me, though I had played dumb when I came to his advances, I was not completely unaware. I seen the way he looked at me, how long his held me close to his body, and how he touch lingered a little to long. Not wanting to ruin our friendship, I never said anything about it. Truth be told, I liked his affection, his touch, and longing; because I too longed to touch him. But it was to soon, only two months earlier, Edward had broken my heart. He was suppose to be the only one, because he had told me so. That I was his mate and I was his. When I discovered these desires for Jake I had been confused and ashamed.
Lugging my two bag towards Charlie and Jake, I also noticed that Jake had definitely been lifting weights. His arms had to be the size of my head and his shirt was so tight that I could see the outline of his chest. They finally noticed me as I fought my way thorough a family arguing over not being able to find their luggage.
Jacobs eyes reached mine and I seen love, hope, and … disappointment? But I couldn't be to sure because it was gone instantly, and a huge smile spread across his face.
"Bella," he breathed my name and next thing I knew I was wrapped in his arms. He lifted me off my feet, as my face found the space between his neck and shoulder.
"Jake," I whispered back. No more words were needed. The way he held me and saying of my name said it all. I was truly home.
