Thank you for the reviews! Things will get steamy soon, but for now some of Bella and Renee on the road, Bella runs into a shady guy. I will get the next chapter up soon, just keep the reviews coming!

It was a hot day, Bella was walking in an open field, the sun was shining right on her, everything seemed perfect, maybe a little too perfect. She felt the ground shake and and landed flat on her ass. She tried to stand up but again the ground shook, she heard traffic but she was nowhere near a road. She realized that this was a dream and she was being forced awake by the bumpy, jerky ride in the RV. She rubbed her eyes and saw Renee sitting up front in the driver's seat, she wasn't sure what time it was, probably way too early to be on the road.

Bella found balance and walked up to the passenger seat, she noticed Renee was wearing a cowboy hat, "Where are we?"

"We just passed the Tenessee border."

Bella saw the time on the radio, 6:30AM, no wonder she was so groggy, "Why are we on the road so early?"

"I thought we'd get an early start, do a little hiking."

"Hiking?", Bella wasn't sure if she was up for that, she didn't exactly have the proper shoes and she hated walking up hill.

Renee revealed a second cowboy hat on the floor next to her, "I got you one too."

Bella looked it over, she wasn't too sure, "You want people to think we're Texan or something?"

"I think our pale skin would give us away", Renee laughed. Bella couldn't help but stare at the short jean shorts her step mother wore, almost nothing left to the imagination, almost a little creepy; the flannel top she had on wasn't helping, she had a few too many buttons undone, revealing cleavage that Bella didn't like, she didn't want her parading herself out in front of people like that. "You should get into some shorts,Bells. Maybe try to get a little tan, I know that's what I plan on doing", she placed a hand on Bella's thigh, casually stroking it; Bella didn't want to show off much of her body, she didn't think she had the curves other girls had or the confidence.

"Okay. But I'm not wearing the kind of shorts you have on", she giggled.

Renee chuckled, "Well, you don't have to, I'm not forcing you, hon. Besides, what's wrong with the shorts I have on?"

Bella didn't know what to say, the right words to tell her but she was dressing provocatively, "Well, maybe not so revealing."

"Revealing?"

"Well, yeah…don't you think that's a bit much?"

"I don't know if you noticed but we're in the middle of a heat wave."

Bella squirmed in her seat until they drove past an exit sign telling them that a store wasn't far off, "Can we stop for a minute?"

"Sure, something you need?"

"No, I just need to get some fresh air." Bella unbuckled quickly as Renee pulled into the busy front of the store which happened to look like it would belong in a hillbilly horror movie. She accidentally slammed the door getting out; it indeed was hot but not as bad as she expected, 10 or 15 degrees off. She didn't have a lot of money on her, she didn't have a job yet, maybe she could just wonder inside of the store for a bit, just get enough time alone by herself. She flirted with the idea of running away, going back home to her bed and her friends but she knew deep down that she couldn't just abandon Renee like that.

"Hey, there girl!", Bella heard a male voice shout from behind her, she hoped he wasn't talking to her, "What's your name?" He walked up next to her, he was tall, clean-shaven, maybe in his late 20's. Bella just stared at him, unsure of what to say, "My name is John."

"Um, hello."

"Where are you headed? I saw the Rv."

"I dunno, I guess just anywhere at the moment."

"Have you ever thought about modelling?"

Bella got a sudden sinking feeling, this was getting better by the second, this guy was most likely trying to abduct her and she was doing nothing to run away, "I'm 17."

"Don't matter. There's a lot of teen models."

"Look, I really don't have time, I should be getting back."

"Please, before you do just take my card", he handed her a pink business card which seemed a but odd, the smile he was giving her was also a little off putting, "Check out our website, you'll see that we run a pretty respectable business. You would feel right at hime there." Bella didn't know what to say, some how this guy thought she would be good enough to model? But she looked so ordinary and plain. "Is that your mother driving the RV?"

"Step mom."

His eyebrows soared, "Oh, really? Interesting", Bella couldn't imagine what would be so interesting about that, everything this guy said, the way he said it was just strange, "She seems kind of familiar, has she done modelling before?"

Bella just smirked, it seemed weird to think of Renee modelling for anything, "No. No way."

"Maybe just bring it up to her, we consider anyone."

Bella walked back to the RV, she still had her eye on him. He just stood there with that smile, the name on the card read Jack Stiles CEO Destiny Modelling Agency. Was he for real?
