πππππππ ππππ πππ π ππππ ππ πππππ πππππ'π πππππ, Catherine bounced in the passenger seat of Bella's car as she was overly excited to meet with her long-lost best friend.
Catherine and Jacob had always been the best of friends, along with Bella of course, but it was often Catherine and Jacob who would play into the night as Bella usually went home early.
Although after Catherine and her Father moved away, she slowly lost contact with Jacob, the two only seeing each other when she would visit Charlie and Bella during the summer.
"Calm down Cathy," Bella said chuckling as she watched Catherine look around excitedly, she was happy to see her cousin so happy, especially after last night. "we're here."
"I'm just so excited," Catherine said happily as she continuously glanced from Jacob's house and back towards Bella. "thanks for bringing me."
"After what I did last night, it's no problem." Bella said physically waving her cousin off with a soft smile on her face.
After the scare she'd given Catherine, Bella knew she had to do something to keep her little cousin from telling her Dad what she'd done.
So Bella figured to kill two birds with one stone, make her little cousin happy, and get the motorcycles she rescued fixed.
Almost immediately as Bella parked the car, Jacob was quick to exit the house happy to see Bella's truck parked outside.
Seeing the boy running out of the house, Catherine didn't even let Bella get a chance to turn the truck off as she jumped out of it.
"JB!" Catherine yelled as she rushed over to the young man, a large smile on her face as she ran as quickly as she could towards him.
"Catherine," Jacob said in shock as he squinted his eyes not sure if he was seeing correctly until she was within 20 feet of him "Bunny!"
Immediately as he realized Catherine was Catherine, the young man rushed forwards just as she was the two meeting in the center of his yard.
Catherine launched herself into Jacobs's arms, wrapping her legs around his waist as he held her in his arm as if she weighed nothing.
"Oh my god, when did you get back?" Jacobs asked exasperatedly as he pulled back still holding the girl in his arms with a large smile on his face.
"A few days ago." Catherine said happily as she looked down at him, letting out a few giggles as she wiggled excitedly in his arms.
"And you just now come see me?" Jacob asked sarcastically and with a teasing tone to his voice, moving the girl onto his hip.
"Just be happy I'm here alright?" Catherine said with even more giggles, the girl was just so happy to be seeing one of her oldest and closest friends.
"Ouuu feisty," Jacob said tapping the tip of the girl's nose, causing her to scrunch it up like the little bunny she was. "so what brought you two here, not like Bella wanted to come to see her best friend."
Turning towards Bella who had finally made her way toward them, an awkward smile on her face as she tucked her hair behind her ear.
"I brought something." Bella said with an excited smile on her face, wringing her hand together as she had a bounce in her step.
"Yeah I can see that," Jacob said with a large smile as he glanced back over at Catherine, who was still in his arms and on his hip. "you brought my favorite thing in the world."
Seeing him looking at her, Catherine let out a string of giggles whilst she shook her head and lightly hit him on the chest.
"Not me dummy, we actually brought something." Catherine said as she wiggled her way out of his arms whilst making sure to pull her dress back down, before hopping over to Bella's truck.
The girl was quick to grab hold of the large black tarp on the back of it, as Bella unlatched it from the other side of the truck.
"Is it unhooked?" Catherin asked standing on her tippy-toes to see Bella on the other side of the truck.
The awkward older girl was quick to nod her head, causing Catherine to yank the black tarp off of the truck and reveal the broken-down motorcycles that Catherine had put on the truck.
"Scrap metal," Jacob said sarcastically as he looked at the motorbikes on the back of the truck, before glancing at both Catherine and Bella. "you shouldn't have."
"Bella rescued them from the dump." Catherine said as she hopped back over to Jacob's side, looking over at the motorbikes at his side.
"They'd cost more than they're worth to fix." Bella said as she moved to Jacob's other side, a nervous smile on her face as she bit at the nail of her thumb.
"Unless we had a very cute, very capable mechanic-type friend, to help us out." Catherine said as she turned towards Jacob, looking up at him with her big little bunny eyes.
"Me, being the mechanic-type friend, huh?" Jacob asked as he turned towards the girl, looking down on her due to himself being 5'10 compared to her 5'0.
"Exactly." Catherine said taking a step closer to him, tapping his nose just as he had done to hers a few moments ago.
Scrunching up his nose at her in the same way she did to him, and yet Jacob looked more like he was snarling when he did as if he was a wolf looking at his prey.
And seeing the smirk on the boy's face and the intensity in his eyes, Catherine couldn't help the bead of sexual wanting that she felt while she looked at him.
"Since when are you into motorcycles," Jacob asked as he put his arm around the back of Catherine's waist, before glancing back towards Bella. "cause I know this isn't something my little bunny, here would do?"
"Recently." Bella answered simply as she looked at the two completely entranced with each other's presence, she always felt the two were good for each other.
She just hoped Jacob's little crush on her wouldn't get in the way of the two developing a good relationship, she wouldn't want him hurting Catherine for her.
"The parts alone will be pricey." Jacob noted with a tilt of his head, still keeping Catherine against his chest and body.
Something deep inside of him didn't want Catherine to move very far away from him, something primal needed her presence in the room.
Needed her body flushed against his in more ways than one.
"I have a college fund, I can dig into it." Bella said almost immediately, before turning to look at Catherine with a hopeful look on her face.
She knew she couldn't use all of her college funds for this in case it goes wrong, but if all goes well there would be no need for her to go to college anyways.
"I have some savings we can spend, it's not much." Catherine answered after a few seconds, laying her head against Jacob's chest.
She had a little bit of money built up from the years of working jobs, it wasn't as much as was in her college fund, but she refused to go into it.
"Charlie's gonna love that," Jacob said as he glanced at both girls, a small smirk coming over his face as he did so.
"Charlie won't know." Bella said almost immediately after he spoke, before crossing her arms and continuing to eat at her thumbnail.
"Wow, lying to Dad, blowing through college money, repairing dangerous machines," Jacob said with a small chuckle as if he was scolding either of them, but he did hold a bit of doubt, concern, and confusion in his heart. "that I'm guessing you'll want to ride?"
"I really get it if you think this is stupid and reckless-" Bella tried to say in an attempt at guilt-tripping the young man, but was quickly stopped as he interrupted him.
"Oh it's totally stupid and reckless," Jacob said nodding his head before he turned towards Catherine again placing his other arm around her waist as well. "but you brought my Bunny back to me so, when do we start?"
