Disclaimer: I own none of the characters you recognize. Stephenie Meyer does. I'm just using them for my own enjoyment.
Author Notes: This series is currently unbeta'd, so all mistakes are my own. If you're curious this series will have five parts, each part with a different pairing for Rosalie Hale. All are unrelated. I posted the first one in June on my livejournal and since finishing the second yesterday, I decided to post it here. So first up is Jasper.
The Games We Play.
There were times when Rosalie Hale liked to play pretend. Not the kind where you play dress up and pretended that you were the mommy and had a house few of little kids. Or where you were a high paid doctor and one of your stuffed animals was the patient. No, she liked to pretend and play out how her life may have been had Carlisle not turned her into this...creature.
Pretending was the easiest escape from the living hell she had to face day in and day out. It was a reprieve and she often enjoyed it.
Emmett found her silly for the notion to play such a game, though in her mind he was a bit biased. After all he enjoyed the thrills that came with being a vampire. The beautiful blonde always managed to receive patronizing glares from her mind reading brother for such foolish thoughts. He never bothered to ask her why, though she didn't care whether he did or not.
Out of all her 'siblings', Rosalie loved Jasper the most. He actually cared. He asked about the so-called foolish thoughts that ran rampant in her mind. At the moment she had known that he would be the most willing to indulge in her silly little fantasy.
A smile quirked her lips upward as she remembered their first game of pretend.
"How does it feel to be human?" He had asked before he took the seat beside her.
She glanced up from the homework she had occupied herself with and smiled at her 'twin', "You should know."
Jasper's brow rose an inch or two at her words and smiled in return.
It began innocently at first, just the two of them ignoring the fact that they were monsters who craved blood for a living. Together they were just Jasper Whitlock and Rosalie Hale. Two beautiful teenagers who had their whole lives ahead of them.
Though it was only meant to be a one-time thing, they had enjoyed the roles they played and continued in the fantasy world they had created. It took some extra effort to keep Edward and Alice from the plans. Both agreed never to linger on the pretend game while in the presence of Edward, while Jasper made no decisions to keep Alice from seeing the future of their little game.
The plan worked as the two never questioned the disappearances whenever they wished to play.
The innocence of the game didn't last too long. The first time was a mistake, a slip of cold lips pressed against each other after it was intend for his cheek. They knew it was wrong. She had her husband and he had his wife, but when they pulled away it seemed to natural to deny. One kiss lead to another and another until their little game went much deeper then first intended.
She knew the little game would end one day but Rosalie hoped everything would continue to remain between herself and Jasper, a secret for only the two of them to share.
End.
