Isabella Toretto's Story

Chapter 9

I woke up in my bed at Uncle Charlie's. I tried to get up when I realized that Brian has his arms wrapped around me. I carefully removed his arms away from me and walked down to see a box of pizza with a note on top.

It read, 'Hey Bells. I got called out for something in a neighboring county. I should be back late tonight. I got to know Brian a little bit and I can tell he is a great guy. See you guys later tonight.'

I smiled, happy that Uncle Charlie liked Brian. I opened the box of pizza and only saw two pieces. I wrapped them in tin foil and set about cooking something small.

When Brian came down I had just finished fixing some spaghetti. I grabbed two plates and handed one to Brian. I told Brian that Charlie got called out and wouldn't be back until late tonight.

"Would you like to meet some friends of mine?" I asked.

"Of course, I would."

"Great! Let me make a phone call."

I walked into my room and called Emily. She picked up after two rings.

"Hello?" Em asked.

"Hey Em! How's everyone?" I responded.

"Bella! Everyone's great. How about you?"

"I'm good. Is there a bonfire tonight?" I asked.

"Yeah there is. Why?" Emily asked.

"Well I'm in town. I thought I could came see you guys and introduce a friend of mine." I replied.

"Of course, you and your friend can come. I'll fix extra. It's in 30 minutes okay."

"Em we've already ate, like 10 minutes ago, so we might not eat." I told her.

"That's okay. I'll still fix extra just in case. See ya in a bit Bells."

"K. See ya." I hung up.

I walked back into the kitchen to see Brian doing the dishes. I smiled and walked up behind him to wrap my arms around him.

"So, I talked with Emily and she said they were having a bonfire at the beach. She said we both could come." I told him.

"What should I wear?" he asked.

"Well the bonfire is at the beach on the rez, so something you would normally wear to the beach, but it does get chilly when the sun goes down." I responded.

"Ok. What are you going to wear?" he asked.

"Jeans, t-shirt, and maybe a jacket. And I'm going to bring a blanket for us just in case."

"Well then, let's get ready." he said.

I smiled and dragged him to my room. I left the jeans I was wearing on, but I changed my shirt and put one of Brian's on. I asked him 'How do I look?', to which he responded with 'Sexy as always'. I grabbed an old blanket and put it in the car. As I started the car Brian got in with my pain meds.

"Just in case you might need them." Brian said.

In response I leaned in to give him a quick kiss. When we pulled apart I pulled out of the driveway and started the quick 10-minute drive to the rez. As I pulled into the parking lot I saw that the guys were already there. I grabbed Brian's hand as we walked down the beach. When I knew they would hear me I said,

"Hey guys..."
