Chapter IX
Jacob put her suitcase and bag into the back of his truck and got inside. "Ok, kiddo, we are set to go."
Bella sat in the passenger seat and was still trying to think of excuses not to go. She had made the decision to not let Edward interfere in her marriage, and she was going to stick to that decision. She had to admit it sounded more like she was trying to convince herself, than that she really meant it. "So, what are you going to do while I am away working?"
Jacob laughed, " Working, oh yeah, working in Ireland. I am going to order pizza every meal, pick up hookers, and rent lots of porn. Maybe I will be nice and make the hookers wear Bella masks so that I can pretend they are you."
Bella slapped him on the shoulder, "They better! And you better imagine those girls in your porn are me too."
Jacob pulled out of the driveway and headed towards the airport, "Remember not to open that bag until you get there. It is a surprise and I don't want you to mess it up by opening it early."
"I won't, and besides I won't have time to open it early. Because of the flight problems, as soon as we get there we have a presentation to attend. I won't get to the room until tonight anyway." She sighed "I can't believe the only flight we could get was a 10 p.m. flight. By the time we fly 7 hours, and calculate they are 5 hours ahead of us, we have an hour before the 11 a.m. presentation. I am going to be so tired!"
Jacob pouted, "Ohw, is my wittle Bewwa gonna be tirewd? Sleep on the plane and you will be fine. I know you are a little sleep deprived because of the past couple days, but it was worth it right?"
Bella wrapped her hands around his bicep and rested her head on his shoulder, "It absolutely was, especially since there is a 1% chance. You have to figure since we did it like a thousand times, the odds are with us."
Jacob reached up and ran the back of his fingers across her cheek, "Yes, I hope this happens. If not, we will just wait a little longer to see if the percentages go up."
Bella snuggled against Jacob's arm and drifted off to sleep.
Bella was awoken by a kiss. "Time to get up sleeping beauty. We are here, now get on that plane and get to work"
Jacob grabbed Bella's bags and led her into the airport.
