AN.: First of all sorry for the long break. I have almost finished my finals so there should be more chapters coming soon.

After two days on the road I finally arrived at home. One long month I had been staying in LA doing my internship.
I made friends with a few TV-stars and had a pretty good time.
Knowing Dad would still be at the station I went for a walk to visit him after unloading my stuff.
After ten minutes of walking in the slow falling rain that covered Forks almost constantly I arrived at the station. When I entered I was greeted by everyone with smiles. After answering a few questions about the time I spend in LA I saw Carlisle sitting in Dad's office and went in to greet them both.
"Hey Dad, Carlisle I'm home." I said when I stepped in the office.
"Hey Bells. I didn't expect you until later today." Dad said got up and gave me an awkward hug.
"Hello Bella, how are you?" Carlisle asked with a smile on his face.
"I'm good, I'm good. It's great to be back home after a month of being away even though I have to go to school again." I said joking a little bit. Turning to Charlie I said, "Yeah, the streets were totally empty and to quote some great person whose name I don't know 'Push the paddle to the metal'."
Dad laughed, "Sometimes I think you don't care for speed limits when I'm not sitting beside you."
"How did you get that idea? I don't really care about speed limits even if you are sitting beside me." I said laughing.
"Charlie I thank you for your time. I'm going to phone you when I know more about what you want to know. Bella you want to come with me? I'm sure Rose would be happy to see you." Carlisle said laughing at my blush.
"Yeah, yeah laugh it up, but sure I already planned to come by later so why not now?" Turning to Charlie I said, "It may be that I will stay at the Cullen's' tonight and let Rose drive me back tomorrow."
Dad just nodded and waved me off with a smile. "Sure, no worries, have fun with your Girlfriend. Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" He said with a laugh
"Thanks Dad, see you tomorrow." I said and waved goodbye.
Ten minutes later we parked in front of the house, Esme was already standing on the porch waiting for our arrival, Rose standing not far behind her practically bouncing up and down.
Even before the car came to a complete stop Rose had already ripped the door of, unbuckled me and pulled me out of the car into her arms. When I finally registered where I was I slung my arms around her neck and hugged her for a long time not letting go even as she walked back in the house to the living room where she sat down on a couch. The whole time no sound was heard in the whole house. The rest of the family all went hunting not wanting to invade our reunion with their presence in the house.
After an hour of hugging I finally lifted my head from her neck and looked her in the eyes.
"I missed you." I said quietly and buried my head back in her neck.
"I missed you too baby." Rose said softly. "Now tell me what have you done in the last month?"
For the next hour I told her about everything that happened while I was in LA.
"It sounds like you had fun." Rose said smiling up at me.
While I told her about my time in LA our position on the couch had shifted so that Rose was laying on her back with me on top. Shortly after I had begun to tell her about my time away the rest of the family had come back from their hunting trip and was doing something around the house discreetly listening to my story.
At some point during the conversations that I had been listening I apparently fell asleep because the next thing I knew I was lying in a soft comfortable bed. My hand gripped something cold but soft and round. Not being fully awake I had no idea what I was gripping in this moment and squeezed a little bit.
A soft gasp came from beside me. Ever so slowly I became fully conscious and realized I had been gripping Rose's boob the whole time and apparently my Rose had no problem with it. At least she was smiling amused down at me.
Grumbling something that could be interpreted as a 'Good Morning' I sneaked my arms around her and drew her nearer.
Turning to the side Rose pressed her chest into mine she put her arms around me and drew me nearer. "Good morning." She murmured and pressed a kiss to my nose.
After some time, it was time to get up and I could already smell the breakfast Esme was preparing for me.
After breakfast I had to go back home. The next day was a school day and I still had to write a few pages for the report of my internship. Also I had to go shopping most likely. After living alone for a month I didn't really trust my dad to have anything eatable in the house. I bet if I would ask him what he ate the last month his answer would either been take-out or fast-food and pizza. At noon Rose drove me back home after Esme made me lunch. Esme is always happy when she can cook for someone.
After ten minutes of driving at speeds of 90 mph we arrived at my home. Reluctantly I said good-bye to Rose even for the few hours until she would come and lay beside me while I went to bed.
Five minutes later I was in my room. Charlie was still at work even though it was Sunday. He would be back home at around six PM. Wanting to surprise him with something special for dinner I went to the kitchen searching for the ingredients for Lasagna.
After I gathered everything I turned on the radio and began with my task of preparing dinner. Around one and a half hours later the Lasagna was finally in the oven and would be ready when Charlie would arrive at home. While the food was still in the oven I was cleaning up the kitchen which was littered with old fast-food containers and various other food things.
At half six PM I heard the front door closing and new Charlie had arrived at home. Not even half a minute later he appeared in the doorway.
"Hey Bells, what's for dinner?" he asked.
"Lasagna. And seriously I don't know how you managed to survive before I moved her." I indicated the plastic bag full of Fast-food boxes and the rest which I hadn't managed to throw away jet. "I mean seriously I wasn't even gone for a month and the only thing I find in the kitchen is the stuff I left here in the exactly same place and these boxes of fast-food. Sometimes I really think you should get out of the house for something other than work and get a girlfriend or something like this."
"Hey, I go out." He said indignantly.
I snorted rather unladylike. "Sure and I fancy boys and don't like cars." I said mockingly.
"For your information, in the last month I have been meeting with a woman and went on a few dates with her." He insisted.
"Oh and we've been invited to join Billy, Jacob and the tribe at their bonfire when they tell the story of their first ancestors. It's next week on Saturday at eight o'clock in the evening." He announced.
"Sure Dad it'll be nice to see them again. It's been a long time since they were over the last time and we at theirs." I said shrugging. "Now the Lasagna should be ready, so set the table." I ordered my dad.
Later when dad and I had finished cleaning up the kitchen, we sat down in the Livingroom and watched one of the games.
"Dad, I plan to sell a few cars and start a new project." I said suddenly.
"Which cars do you want to sell?" Dad asked after he muted the TV.
"A few cars at mom's. The Camaro, the Firebird, the Mustang GT, the Nissan 370z and the Hummer H1. The SLS AMG comes here. And when I looked in the internet after crashed cars I would like to restore, I found two BMW Z4. The guy that managed to crash the cars would sell them for 20k but I think I bring it down to ten grand."
"What do you think you will get for the cars you want to sell?" He asked.
"The Nissan goes for around 90.000$, the Camaro 110.000$, the Firebird 60.000$, the Mustang GT 90.000$ and the Hummer at around 140.000$. In total around 490.000$. If I sell them in private. If I would go to an auction, I would hope for 500.000$ but then I would still have to pay a fee of 15% so I think I sell them on my own." I rambled bit.
The rest of the evening was spent in front of the TV until it was time for me to head to bed. After I brushed my teeth and changed into boy-shorts and a tank top I returned to my room and found my goddess laying in my bed waiting for me.
Laying down beside her I draped one of my legs across her and hugged her arm.
"Rose is there a method so that you can spend a few days in the sun without alerting everybody in the vicinity to your presence?" I asked my girlfriend.
"Yes, there is but it requires a lot of make-up. Why do you ask?" She asked.
"I plan to sell all but one car of the ones which are still in Phoenix and start a new project." I mumbled pulling her arms around me tighter.
"Sleep Bella, tomorrow is school day. You will need your energy." Rose whispered in my ear.
"Love you." I mumbled. Already half asleep I turned around and snuggled deeper into her chest.
The next morning, I was woken up by my father. Rose was already at home again getting ready for the day. Charlie was just on his way out of the house.
The first day of school after a month long internship, where I could basically stand up whenever I wanted. Now that I had to go to school again I had to get up at fixed times again.
Walking to my bathroom I picked up the clothes I wanted to wear and went to take a quick shower. After drying myself I went to the kitchen and prepared something to eat.
Half an hour before school started I was finally ready to leave. Hanging my book bag over my shoulder I climbed down into my garage and went to the Aventador. After driving the F12tdf for the last month I wanted to drive my other babies again.
Taking a little detour because I still had plenty of time to kill I drove out of the town and accelerated.
Ten minutes before school start I pulled in the parking lot and came to a stop beside the BMW M3 convertible Rose drove. Locking my car, I made my way to the first class I would have today and dreaded it already. None of the Cullens shared that class with me. Only a few of the other students in my class were halfway decent people. Angela was the only one I could really call my friend since my other male-friends were jealous of me getting Rose and my female-friends were disgusted, that they had to share a locker-room with me.
The biggest problem was in the moment in two weeks there was this school ball. Now originally it was lady's choice, but every one of the boys in my circle of friends, namely Mike, Ben, Eric and Tyler and the rest of the boys at school tied to ask me out to the Ball. The only reason Tyler even got the chance of trying to ask me to go out with him was because Edward blocked me from driving from the parking lot. (He would pay for making me go through that.)
Thoughts were already forming in my head but I needed input from the other girls. I always knew Selene and Bree had an evil streak and now I could use their help and the results would not be pretty.
After I could finally get out of my parking space I drove home, prepared something to eat and did my homework.
The next two weeks went by pretty easily. I spend a lot time with Rose and the Cullens, finished the report about the internship and got three A's in three different classes.
Now it was the weekend before we drove to Seattle for the Car Show. Or clothes were already packed and the cars were also prepared. For two days we would stay in Seattle in the Four Seasons. Bree, Selene, Alice, Rose and I would drive my cars. I would take the Aventador, Rose the F12, Alice the Porsche GT3, Bree the Jaguar and Selene the Aston Martin.
The girls would be coming over later. We would drive back to the Cullens spend the night there and then drive to Seattle. The Jaguar, the Aston Martin and the Ferrari F12 TDF would be the cars PP-Performance would be introducing together witch a few other cars.
Also I hoped I could find a bit of inspiration for the two BMW Z4. I didn't want to use the original engine because even in its most powerful version it was still too weak for my taste. Until now I had planned to change the interior, the wheels, the engine and the transmission. The rest was still usable and didn't need to be replaced, at least for one car. The other car would be rebuilt from sketch. The frame was still good but the body was unusable, the parts that were usable would the used for the other car. I had thought I would build the body with carbon-fiber so that it would be light weight build.
Well that were my first thoughts but I was contacted by Carlisle to make a birthday present for Rose. Her old BMW convertible was now almost 3 years old and they had decided to buy her a new car but after a bit of thinking it was decided that I use the second BMW Z4 and build it for her.
When I brought my suitcases down in my garage I had almost everything what I needed packed and ready to go. I just needed to grab a few essentials like my scratch book, with all my ideas for the two Z4. For every car I owned I had a separate scratch book full of ideas, color-schemes for the exterior, interior, upholstery and basically everything else
For the Z4 project I had already half a book full of scratches, most of them about the design of the interior and the color schemes. The exterior was also already planned out. I just had to drive to Seattle and meet with the guy who sold them.
A few minutes later the girls and Edward arrived.
After getting out of the car the girls greeted me with Alice jumping in my arms and kissing me on my cheek with a smile. Rose scowled at her playfully before she hugged me herself and gave me a kiss on the mouth.
"Hey." I greeted them back and gave Edward a hug. "So everything's ready to go. My stuff is already in my Aventador and my bags are in the Volvo. My shoes are in the trunk of the Aventador and my dress is in one of the bags." I informed everyone.
"Even if you forgot your dress, you seem to forget that you are going to Seattle with Alice, Rose, Bree and Selene. Do you really believe you can get out of the shopping?" Edward asked me leaning against his Volvo.
"Ohh right, how could I forget." I hadn't got anything against shopping but it was so much fun to see Alice's reaction to the horror struck face I was putting on.
"Don't give me that look." Rose said. "You know you secretly like shopping with us." She said smiling.
"I don't know what you are talking about." I said to her.
"Are you sure, because I still remember after we came back from our last shopping tour. You fell asleep in my bed and mumbled that you loved shopping with Alice and I because we got you something that looks good on you." Rose said grinning and grinned even more when she saw the look on my face.
"As my girlfriend you are supposed to support me in matters like these and not to fall in my back." I complained, but she just laughed at me and drew me in her arms. "Whatever let's get going I just have to say goodbye to Dad thy we can leave. You can already start the cars and let them warm up a little bit." I said and threw them the keys for the cars they would drive while I threw Edward the key for the Aventador.
Dad was sitting in the living room reading a report one of his deputies had written about something or another and had a beer standing beside him.
"Dad, I'm going to head out." I said when he noticed my presence.
"Have fun and if something happens don't hesitate to call me. I have a few friends by the Seattle Police Department. Do you need anything before you go?" He asked me.
"Thanks Dad but I hope we don't need help of that kind of help and no I have everything I need and we will go shopping there. Luckily Jasper is going to take his SUV, if not we wouldn't even get all our clothes to Seattle." I answered my Dad and after a final good-bye he hugged me one last time before I went back to the garage.
When I came back in the garage the sound five engines almost made me go deaf. The girls were standing at the cars waiting for me.
"Well, I'm ready to go." I said when I joined them.
"Well then, let's go." Alice called wanting to drive the GT3. And we all left for our cars, me being the last that rolled out of the garage.
A few minutes later everything was looked up and I was ready to depart. The others were waiting at the end of my driveway for me. When I finally rolled up behind them, Alice was he first to shoot off in the direction of their house.
Not ten minutes later we rolled on the yard in front of the house and parked in a neat line while Edward parked his Volvo in the garage.
When we stepped inside we were greeted by Esme and the rest of the boys who were all sitting in the Livingroom doing their own thing.
After bringing my overnight bag upstairs I unpacked my scratch book and sat down beside Rose on one of the couches.
"Rose what do you think I should do for the color scheme and the interior for the Z4?" I asked and showed her a scratch of a blank Z4 and laid my colored pens on my lap.
"For the interior I have to know what it looks like normally before I can give you an answer. Do you have any pictures you can show me?" She asked me.
Leaning against her so she could look over my shoulder I showed her the cockpit of a normal BMW Z4 on my phone. Personally I didn't find it really appealing and I knew I would do it in the style of Lamborghini with all kinds of controls in the middle between the seats.
While she described what she would like in a cockpit I began to draw what she was describing, often taking colors to color a specific part and taking notes of materials and such on the back site of the sheet.
Nearly an hour later she had described what she would have liked to see. I continued to ask her questions until I had everything I needed to start with the ordering of the parts.
When we finished the whole family was sitting in the room watching the TV. Slowly my eyelids were getting heavy and I started to fall asleep cuddled up against Rose.
Hope you enjoyed it and leave a few reviews for me.
Thx!
