Her Unexpected Mates

Chapter 7

Leo’s POV

 Isabella had me get all the ingredients to make cupcakes this weekend, we chose to make cupcakes at my house because hers is always full of hungry wolves and mine is a little quitter. We talked about baking on Sunday or after school Monday, but Isabella said she agreed to spend the day with Jason on Sunday before a new week started.

 I am surprise that I don’t feel threaten by my brother also being a mate to Isabella. I guess on some level in my subconscious I know that she will always be safe because she will always have one of us with her. The past few nights me, Jason, and Isabella created a group chat it was funny to watch Isabella try to figure it out.

 Isabella is way above her grade level in smarts but like everyone else she struggles with her own weakness. The other day she was teaching me about the different positions of the stars that make up the consolations. She really does have a brilliant mind, I noticed that when she is trying to think she chews on her pencil.

Jason’s POV

 I watched Isabella and Leo spend a lot of time together over the week, so I asked Isabella if she wanted to spend the day with me Sunday. I was so relieved when she said yes, she asked me a million times where I was taking her. I told her it was a surprise and that she was going to need a bathing suit. I pulled my truck up to her pack line and pulled out my phone.

Ring Ring Ring

“Hello” Isabella says.

“Hello, beautiful, I’m waiting outside for you.” I say though the  phone.

“Ok,  I’m on my way now, see you soon.” She says and hangs up.

 I wait and watch for Isabella to come walking to the truck. I see her walking down the gravel driveway to my truck, she looks stunning with her light brown hair in a mess bun on the top of her head. She walks like a super modal with her jean shorts and off the shoulder shirt, I see her eye light up as she sees my truck.

I have the overwhelming urge to jump out of the truck and lift her into my arms, but I don’t I just wait for her to get into the truck. She closes the door of the truck and we’re off; she messes with the playlist on my phone that is connected to my truck.

“Your taste in music is horrible. You have no classic music, no older than three years old, and no Bazzi.” She says.

“Well, all the music that’s on there is good music. How about for today you pick a song on my play list and I’ll make you your own play list just for you on my phone for next time.” I say.

“Ok, deal”

 She clicks on a song and it starts to play, Airplanes by B.O.B ft. Hayley Williams. I listen to her sing the words on perfect key, I started singing B.O.B part. Isabella looked at me shocked, but she started to sing with me. We sang songs for the whole ride to where I was taking her for the day. I parked the car and we get out.

“You brough me to the beach?” She says confused.

“Yes and no.” I say.

 I turn her around to face the carnival that was being set up for tonight.

“I thought we could spend some time on the beach and end the night at the carnival  riding some rides.” I say.

 She looks up at me and smiles, she break free of my hands running in the sand to the water. She stops takes off her clothes, she turns back to me and smiles again. She runs into the water; I hear her laugh as she looks back at me. I take my shirt off and drop it with her stuff. I run to her in the water, I pick her up making her squeal.

 We play in the water for over an hour, I had Isabella sitting on the beach towel waiting for me to come back with lunch. I got us some burgers with everything, we sit on the beach watching the families, friends, and couples on the beach. Isabella finishes eating and puts her head on my lap, I leaned back and enjoy the sun with her.

“What time is it?” Isabella asks.

“It’s about 3:30. Why?” I say.

“Can we play twenty questions to pass the time?”

“Sure, you go first.” I say.

“Um, what is your nickname for me?” She asks

“I don’t have one for you.”

“You can just call me Izzy like phoebe does. My nickname for you is Jase.” She says.

 I nod at her cute little nickname for me, I think of the next question.

“When is your birthday. Mine is December 3rd.

“October 17th.”

 Our take went on like that for a long time. I learned that her favorite color is red, she loves math, is bad at science, and has a thing about memorizing history facts. For example, in 1510, the first settlers arrived in what is know America. The sun had begun to set so we walked over to the carnival, we rode rides and eat carnival food.

 Isabella convinced me to try a funnel cake, it was really good. We rode some more rides; it was getting late as the last of the sun faded away. We walk along the shoreline back to my truck. I couldn’t help myself anymore, I intertwined my finger with hers. She didn’t pull away from me, she stopped to watch the moonlight dance off the water. I couldn’t help but stare at her, she turned to face me smiling.

“Thank you for today, Jase. I had a really great time for the first time in a while.” She says.

 I cupped her face with my hand, “I’m glad. I had a great day with you.”

We stood there for a minute just looking at each other, I lean my forehead on hers.

“I want to kiss you.” I say not realizing the words can out of my mouth.

“I want you to kiss me.” She says

 I didn’t want to waste a minute, I softly put my lips on to hers. She tasted of the vanilla Chapstick she likes to wear. I wrap my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me deepening the kiss. She wraps her arm around my neck as one of her hands finds its way to the back of my hair. I have to pull away before I go to far tonight. We both breathe heavy and walk in silence back to the truck. I pull put to the front of her pack lands.

 I grab her hand before she leaves, “I like you, Izzy. I think I’m falling for you.”

“I like you, too. I know I’m falling for you.” She says.

 I watch her walk back to the pack house just to make sure she got home safe. I fall asleep with her words in the back of my mind ‘I like you, too. I know I’m falling for you.’ And ‘I had a really great time for the first time in a while.’ What did she mean by that? But that is a problem for another day.
