A/N: Hey Laurie on Jan 29, 2016, you said about my one-shot, Stand Upon: Thank you for a shirtless, wet Jasper. Every non canon Jasper girl's dream. I liked this story and hope you continue it. Well, that is what I've done, just for you! This is un-beta'd, so sorry for the tense errors.

I cannot believe that I fainted in my boss' home…and had a wet dream about him while on his couch. Mr. Whitlock was so attentive to me, cleaning the gash on my head from when I fell on his property. Luckily, I had awoken from my dream before I'd said something, I'd regret later. I tend to talk in my sleep.

It all started on Friday afternoon when I discovered some discrepancies on a few Accounts Payable electronic spreadsheets and after cross referencing with the physical journal entries, it seemed as if certain information was not being recorded properly.

I spoke to my supervisor, Paul, who sent me upstairs to the CEO and creator of Whitlock Enterprises, LLC; however, he had already left for the weekend. Since I didn't have a scheduled appointment, I was instructed to go to his farm in Taylor, Texas. It was there that my clumsiness, made itself known and I fell into the arms of my very handsome, older boss Jasper Whitlock.

"OMG, you licked your boss' chest. Why was his shirt off in this dream again" asks my best friend, Rosalie Hale, owner of Hale Motors.

"No, Rose, that really happened" I shake my head at the phone as if she could see me rolling my eyes at her.

"Wait, what? You told me that you had a wet dream about Jasper" she screams into the phone. "I'm confused, Bells"

"Yes, I did have a…dream about Mr. Whitlock" I take a deep breath "but when I tripped he picked me up, shirtless and I took a lick of his chest."

"Okay, kinky…but why was he shirtless" she really wants the answer to this question.

"He likes to spend his weekends on the farm, restoring it" I answer as I stand up from sitting on my bed. After spending the last two days with my very sexy boss, it felt good to be in my own private space again.

"Huh," came Rose on the other end of the line.

Wait for it, thought Bella.

"So, you are telling me that while under a tornado warning and subsequent aftermath, all y'all did was review financial records."

I roll my eyes as I prepare myself to example to Rose for the hundredth time that, "yes, all we did was review over the AP accounts, Rose." I make way to my closet trying to keep myself from yelling at my best friend.

"So, who cooked? You or him?" asked Rose.

"He did" I answered as I reached into my purse looking for my notebook.

"Yep, that's a good southern gentleman, right there. You know the men back home know how to cook." Rose continues to go on and on about missing southern men and how happy she is to be moving back home in the next few months.

"Okay, Rose but was Seattle all that bad. I mean the last eight years have been good to you plus you met me there."

Rose and I have best friends since freshman year of college. It broke my heart to leave her when I had gotten a job right out of school and moved to Phoenix to work for Cullen Construction. After starting off there as an entry level accountant, I moved up through the company pretty quickly once the senior accountant retired.

Then after three and half years, I decided that I wanted to see what else was out there and it was Rose that encouraged me to see what our parent company, Whitlock Enterprises, LLC, had to offer. As luck would have it they had a few different job opportunities and after speaking with my boss at the time, Edward Cullen, I applied for the newly listed Head Controller position.

Whitlock Enterprises, LLC is the parent company of both Cullen Construction and Hale Motors. Jasper Whitlock is the brother in law of Edward Cullen and the uncle of Rose. Jasper's wife, Alice Cullen Whitlock died about ten years ago from complications during childbirth. The baby didn't make it either. Rose told me about the loss of her aunt and baby cousin when we first met.

Before Friday, I had only met Mr. Whitlock the one time and it was a quick introduction. This is why I didn't realize that the extremely handsome ranch hand was actually my boss when I had originally driven on to his property.

"Come on Bells, you haven't had a boyfriend or should I say a man friend in years. And you couldn't do any better than my uncle" argues Rose.

"I love how you are talking to me about dating your uncle, like you didn't help to chase off his last girlfriend" I answer.

"Um, that was different, Maria was a complete goal digger. I know you and I know that you would not be after his money." She yawns into the phone as I finish deciding on what I am going to wear to work.

"Well, thanks for that but it would be nice to be pampered sometimes." I answer with a smile on my face. I place my outfit for tomorrow on the hanging rake outside of my closet.

"I really miss you, Bells" says Rose sweetly.

"Yeah, I miss you to Rosie" I say as I lay back in bed. "Good night"

"Good night" she ended the conversation but before it clicked off she added, "say hello to your boyfriend, oops, I mean my uncle for me."

I rolled my eyes as we hang up, like Mr. Whitlock, I mean Jasper would ever fancy me.
