Chapter. 32 MY Bella!

Jake was waiting for us holding a big sign that read 'Bout Damn Time B!!! I unclasped Anthony's hand and ran to Jake. As soon as Jake saw me running towards him he dropped his smartass sign, and stood there with open arms. As I reached him he scooped me up into his massive arms and hugged me tight, I squealed in delight. Anthony arrived a few moments later clearing his throat to make his presence known. Jake quickly sat me upon my feet and smiled brightly towards Anthony. I blushed crimson, knowing that leaving your boyfriend behind to run and jump into another man's arms, probably wasn't something "good girlfriends" do.

"Uh, sorry….Anthony , Jake…Jake, Anthony" I motioned between them with my hands.

"Jake…it's nice to put a face to the voice" Anthony winked as he clasped Jake's large hand in a manly fashion.

"I would like to say the same thing, but it seems, my B, has a thing for famous movie stars" Jake laughed, but Anthony's Jaw tightened at the mention of "My B", as Jake had put it.

"You two know each other?" I asked incredulously.

"Yeah, since you don't ever call me to tell me what your up to, I've been checking up on you" Jake stated with authority.

"And you neglected to tell me this because…?" I looked towards Anthony.

"Because MY BELLA, has a thing for ignoring the fact that "grown-ups" need to have serious conversations, like conversations that don't involve our SEX life" Anthony stated, highlighting the word 'sex' with his voice while looking straight at Jake.

"Tell ME about it" Jake said narrowing his eyes at Anthony.

"Seriously? A Pissing contest?" I laughed trying to lighten the current, testosterone fueled conversation.

"Uh….lets get you home…Charlie can't wait to see you….he said something about cleaning the house earlier" Jake laughed as he motioned towards the luggage carousels.

The ride home was tense and quite uncomfortable, between the two men and their snarky comments, and Jake trying to have his serious conversation with me. After promising to talk to him before the party later tonight, we arrived at my childhood home. Jake helped unload our two suitcases, and then hopped back into his truck, mumbling something about needing to get to Dr. Wilson's office. I didn't have time to think about Jake's weird departure because a pair of lips brushed against my ear.

"It's beautiful here Bella" Anthony whispered.

"Bells!" My dad shouted as he rushed towards us.

"Hey dad" I shouted back even though he was only feet from me.

"Silly girl, come give your pops a hug" Charlie laughed, as his lean arms surrounded me. After our usual awkward hug, Charlie turned his attention towards Anthony.

"Uh, Char- Dad, this is Anthony Masen, Anthony this is my Dad, Charlie".

Both men reached out and shook each others hand, of course my father using his kungfoo grip, to see if Anthony was man enough to take it. Lord Baby Jesus, men and their need to test each other, will the madness ever end?!

"Nice to meet you Mr. Swan"

"Nice to meet you too Anthony" Charlie said, his voice full of skepticism.

"Dad, can you take our bags in…I want to show Anthony around, he is a "California boy", I want to show him what a tree looks like" I laughed at Anthony's grimace.

"Sure Bells, have fun you two, and Anthony?"

"Sir?"

"Don't let her get you in too much trouble" Charlie said as he winked and then grabbed the two suitcases and walked in to the house.

"Your father loves you very much" Anthony smiled.

"Of course he does….you know he is going to have one of those "coming to god" with his shotgun conversation with you… right?" I started laughing as Anthony's face paled.

"Your worth it" He choked out.

"Damn straight! Now come on city boy" I laughed as I pulled him towards a horse barn.

"What in there?"

"Dead bodies and bunny rabbits…what in the hell do you think is in there! Saddles and horses…you do know how to saddle and ride a horse don't you?" I asked as I pulled him into the barn and began laughing at the thought of this city boy ridding a horse. A clip of Anthony saddling up the horse and then stepping into the stirrup and the saddle sliding to the underbelly of his poor horse, and Anthony falling on his cute pampered ass; kept playing over and over in my head. Dear Baby Jesus, don't let him break anything.

"You'll ride Duke and I'll ride Charm ok?" I pointed at the horses.

"Yeah, sounds good" Awww, he is trying to be so manly and strong! Acting like he isn't scared to climb onto an eighteen hand, saddle breed horse! This is going to be funny.

"Here…this is your horse's halter….this is how you put it on" I explained as I walked into Charm's stable and slipped on her halter with ease.

"Oh, like this?" He asked as if he was annoyed. He opened Duke's stable and quickly slipped on the halter.

"Yeah, exactly like that, now bring him out, and follow me….keep a tight grip on him." I smirked as I began walking Charm out of the barn.

"Tie him like this…this knot is very important, so pay attention, if you don't get this knot right, and the horse pulls back….well lets just say it's not a good thing if you get the knot wrong"

I continued to teach Anthony how to brush then saddle and bridle the horse, and then mount. He continued to be an ass, clearly uncomfortable being showed something he knew nothing about; his ego taking a huge hit. You know how men are!

"Alright lets go" I said as I began to walk Charm towards the gate.

"Here let me get the gate Bella"

"That's very nice of you Anthony, but you have to know how to get your horse to help you close the gate and the horse is only as good as it's driver….so…since you….well, anyways, I'll get the gate ok?"

"Yeah" he said as he rolled his eyes and rode Duke out of the gate, stopping and turning around to watch me close the gate.

Anthony and I rode around the whole property, as I told him more about my childhood and showed him placed those things happened. I hadn't realized that we had been riding for hours until the sun began to set.

"Wow, it's beautiful"

"Yes it is, and watching it with you on horseback is amazing" I exclaimed as I side stepped Charm towards Duke and Anthony. Then grasping his hand in mine, as we watched the sky light up with deep pinks, reds, and purples. Once the sun set, we rode quietly towards the barn. We brushed the horses down and placed them back into their prospective stable, before feeding them.

Charlie was rocking in a rocking chair on the front porch as we walked up to the house.

"Nice ride?"

"It was beautiful" Anthony stated quickly.

"everything is exactly how I left it" I laughed.

"Yeah yeah, I know! Um, Jake called a few times, you were supposed to talk to him about something before the party down at the Robertson's."

"Oh damn I lost track of time" I looked at my watch. "Shit we have to leave in like, thirty minutes….I'll text him….I 'm going to take a shower in the upstairs bathroom…dad can you show Anthony his room and bathroom?" I smiled sweetly.

"Sure" Charlie huffed.

I rushed into the house and upstairs, while quickly typing a text for Jake.

-Jake, sorry, lost track of time, see you at party, we'll talk then. Luv B-

-Sure Sure…..but I really wanted to talk to you before then!. Luv J-

-Deal with it!- B

-Always do! J-

I rushed through my shower. I got dressed fast in a old pair of jeans boots and a heavy sweatshirt. Throwing my hair into a messy bun on the top of my head as I ran down stairs. Anthony was waiting at the foot of the stairs as I rushed down them. Once at the bottom I took in his appearance, faded wranglers, a plaid flannel, tucked into a large black carhart jacket, a pair of muck boots.

"Your Dad and I are about the same size…..he said something about getting my pansy ass kicked in the "shit" I was wearing" Anthony laughed.

"Thanks Dad!" I yelled as I grabbed Anthony's hand and tugged him towards the door.

"NO PROB BELLS! BE CAREFUL!"

"We're taking the polaris, ok?" I yelled back.

"Yeah….I put some meatier tires on her, and another set of KC lights…." He yelled back.

"You Rock!"

"I know! Have fun!" He yelled towards as we dashed out the front door.

"Polaris?" Anthony questioned as we ran towards the shed, hand in hand.

"Yeah, Polaris, as in polaris ranger….trust me it's fun…..we even have satellite radio in it" I said excitedly throwing open the shed door and stared at the black beauty in front of me.

"Nice" Anthony mused.

"Hop in your going to love this" I quipped.

We both hopped into our seats as I started the engine. I turned on all the lights, and revved the engine. I reached for the stereo and flipped it on, Zac Brown Band's "Chicken Fried" blasted through the stereo system as I sped out of the shed. Charlie must have been drinking beer and riding around with Jake, I bet this song is on repeat…..MEN!

We were going over forty miles an hour singing along to the repeating song as we spun into the familiar field.

"You know I like my chicken fried, Cold beer on a Friday night, a pair of jeans that fit just right, and the radio up…" We both sang as the song started over again for the umpteenth time. The large bonfire and familiar vehicle came into view. I spun a few doughnuts before pulling the ranger next to Seth's truck.

"Bella!….Everyone, Bella is here!" Seth's voice rang out.

"Everyone, I am here!…..lets get this party started! Someone get me a damn beer!" I laughed.

I jumped out of the ranger and began to hug everyone who came to greet me, and then introduce them to my "boyfriend" Anthony. There were a few jealous glances from some girls. Then Mike Newton walked up, creepy as ever. The mere sight of him sent shivers down my spine.

"Bella, I've missed you"

"Oh really" Was all I was able to reply as he pulled me into a very uncomfortable and awkward hug.

"AND I think WE are DONE here!" Anthony stated loudly as he pried me from creepy Mike's grasp.

"Who was that?" Anthony whispered to me.

"Mike Newton, the king of Creepiness!" I giggled as Anthony placed a protective yet claiming arm around my waist.

"I made your favorite Bella! Jungle Juice" Seth stated proudly.

"Awesome!….Oh hey Embry" I said as I pulled him into a hug, that was made awkward, by Anthony's grasp.

"Nice to see you Bells….ummm….is…is….well….how Alice?" Embry asked while drawing designs in the ground with his toe, causing snow to mix with frozen dirt, making a caking paste of mud. I laughed, Anthony did not.

"She's great Em"

"Is she still with that dude?" He questioned hopeful.

"The Dude's name is Jasper and yes, she is" Anthony snapped.

"OH" Embry dryly stated with deep ridden sadness in his eyes.

"Let's try a few cups of that jungle juice Em" I smiled sweetly before glaring at Anthony. Embry was a very sensitive guy, and it nearly broke his heart when Alice started dating Jasper. Embry somehow made up a reality in his mind, that someday I would come home to Jake and bring Alice with me. Thus all of us, especially him, living, happily ever after.

Ten glasses of Jungle Juice, and 2 whole moonshine peaches later all was forgotten, and the stick that had resided in Anthony's ass, had been removed. He was laughing and telling jokes to Seth and Embry, while I was playing a little game of Tequila Death Match, with one of the Robertson brothers.

"Em! How 'bout you me, shotgun and your truck for 'ol time sake?" I slurred.

"Shotgun, truck, and Embry, hmmm…doesn't sound like a good combo Bella" Anthony eyed me.

"Eat me Masen"

"Yeah, Bella, usually I would be all for it, but you are really drunk" Embry smiled sadly.

"What are you two talking about?"

"Well, you see Anthony, Bella and I used to go raccoon shooting and 4xing."

"That doesn't sound like that big of a deal" Anthony shrugged.

"At the same time…..see she would hold on to the roll bar with one arm and hold her shot gun in the other. Hunt raccoons as I 4x4'd through the trees…oh and don't forget her screaming like a banshee! God! She could make shots, and were impossible" Embry, started laughing.

"Wow you are wild" Anthony smirked.

"NO DOUBT!, you should have seen half of the shit she would rope us all into, including Jake!"

"Speaking of, where the hell is he?" I asked sweetly. Everyone's eyes darted to me.

"Uh, have you talked to him yet?" Seth asked slowly.

"No, I was going to talk to him tonight" I shrugged my shoulders.

"OH LORD!" Seth and Embry sighed at the same time.

"Isn't that his truck pulling up right now?" Anthony pointed.

"This is bad, very very bad" Embry started to mumble to himself.

I was unable to ask why it was 'bad, very very bad', because Jake's truck slid into it's spot, driver's side facing us. He hopped out and I ran over to meet him at the front of his truck.

"Hey Jake, sorry I lost track of time earlier. You missed it! Newton was all "Newton creepy" up on me and-" My sentence cutting off, as my breath caught. As the sight of a waddling Leah caught my gaze.

OMG!!!!!! What the hell? Why is Leah Waddling? And what is going to be Bella's reaction? What reaction do YOU want Bella to have…..Review people please!
