Expect The Unexpected

Chapter 8

"When did Isabella say she would get here?"Rosalie asked Tanya. The pair had traveled from New York to Italy and were now waiting in a beautiful villa waiting for Isabella to show up. While traveling Tanya had told her about vampires and everything to do with Isabella and her mission. After finding out all the things that her missing lover had prevented and was trying to prevent Rosalie was very interested in meeting the woman. The first thing she wanted to do is thank Isabella for saving her from Royce and his friends. Rosalie had never really liked the man and had only agreed to the engagement because it was expected of her. She had known since she was a little girl that she would have no choice in who she would marry. It didn't matter if she didn't love the man. It didn't even matter if she liked him. Her parents would be the deciding factor. Now that she was no longer under her parent's control Rosalie was going to do all she could to live her life to the fullest.

Tanya checked her watch that was set to the same time as Jane's. "She should be here any minute."

"Do you think she will like me?"Rosalie knew that Isabella had visions about her but wasn't sure if Isabella would like her once they met in person.

"Of course she'll like you. She has been excited to meet you ever since she had her first vision of you in the 14th century."Tanya actually thought Isabella had been more excited than Tanya because she had seen how it would play out. Tanya didn't have the uncontrollable longing Isabella did from seeing her mate and having to wait to see them.

Before Rosalie could reply there was a knock on the door."Is that her?"

"Only one way to find out."Tanya raced to the door and opened it finding Jane standing next to Isabella on the other side."Jane good to see you."

"You as well Tanya."Jane held Isabella's arm out for Tanya to take."I would stay and chat but you only have an hour and I know you would like to have your privacy."

Tanya took Isabella's arm and guided her inside. Calling over her shoulder as she closed the door."Thank you Jane."

"No problem."Jane replied.

"Did you have problems getting Rosalie here?"Isabella asked.

"No but before we continue I want to tell you how happy I am to see you."Tanya dropped Isabella's arm and caressed Isabella's cheek leaning forward to kiss her.

Isabella happily let herself fall into the kiss. She desperately missed her mate and no amount of letters could replace being in her physical presence. Pulling back Isabella laid her forehead against Tanya's."I am happy to see you too. Even though I'm not seeing you."

"Let's me introduce you to Rosalie. She has been anxious to meet you."Tanya retook Isabella's arm and led her to where Rosalie was standing." Rosalie this is Isabella. Isabella this is Rosalie."

"It's nice to finally meet you Rosalie."Isabella held back from reaching out. She didn't want to make Rosalie uncomfortable.

Rosalie however was having none of that. She immediately stepped up to Isabella and pulled her into a hug."Thank you so much for saving me from Royce and Carlisle."

"Even if you weren't my mate I wouldn't have let you go through that."Isabella would have helped a stranger out if they were put in that position. Not that she didn't help strangers anyway. Its was quite common for Isabella to have a vision of a human or a vampire being put in a dangerous situation that Isabella interfered in. Not every one of them benefited Isabella or her cause either.

"Regardless thank you."Rosalie released Isabella from the hug and held onto Isabella's hand.

"We don't have much time so let's get started."Tanya wished they had a chance to spend time getting to know each other better but Isabella would be noticed if she was gone too long. As she wasn't allowed out of the castle it would cause quite the panic and Isabella would have no way explaining how she left without getting Jane in trouble.
