***OK this is my first attempt at a J/B story and my first one I'm putting on here so show me some love or hate! Let me know what you think please!! The more love I get the faster chapter 2 will come!! Thanks!!***

I'd always known I could never stay in this town. It held nothing for me. So two weeks after graduating high school, I packed all of my posessions into my black Chevy Blazer and headed to Hollywood. I knew the odds were stacked against me. There were thousands of girls and guys making the same journey every year only to end up broke, homeless, and begging to come home to mommy and daddy's loving kindness. I had always known that that wouldn't happen to me.

Call it cockiness, I call it self-confidence.

From the first moment I'd felt the surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins after performing in front of an audience I knew I was destined to share my gifts with the world. I, Isabella Swan, was destined to be a shining star. To have my name in lights and thousands of adoring fans clamboring at my feet, desperate for the slightest bit of my time. And I craved that attention more than anyone could possibly imagine.

I had always known what I wanted and everyone knew it. I made sure of it. That was most definitely why I had never had a serious relationship. These small town boys couldn't intrigue me for more than a few weeks tops and I had to cut one loose to find another. It was a vicious cycle that got me an undeserved reputation for being easy, but at least it kept my name on people's minds and mouths. This is exactly where I wanted to be.

***********************

I arrived in Hollywood on June 20th. I had $5,000 and a dream and by God I knew I would make it. I just wasn't sure how long I would have to wait, or how long I was willing to wait.

I had already found an apartment so first I went and signed my lease and got my keys. Finally! A place of my very own! And it came fully furnished! After I got my keys from the property manager I tried to maintain my composure while inside I felt like I was 5 years old again and it was Christmas morning. I could barely contain the excitement building inside of me!

I finally made it to my new home. 1597 Burr Oak Dr. Apt. 6C, Los Angeles, CA 94002. It was mine, just like this town was about to be! I slid my key in the lock and turned it anxiously. I walked in and turned on the lights only to find that my apartment was nothing like I had envisioned it. Fully furnished apparently meant a bed handed down from a Super 8 Motel, a rickety old folding table and chairs, and a ratty couch I was sure would make me cringe if it ever saw a blacklight.

Sigh…well, I'm here, and now it's time to make the best of it! You're creative Bella! Work your magic girl!

So after I unloaded my belongings from the Blazer I got into the search feature of my GPS to look for the nearest home improvement store. As luck would have it there were about 6 within spitting distance of where I was. I headed to the nearest Home Depot. There was a JoAnn Fabrics next door which I hit up immediately afterwards to buy the supplies I would need to re-upholster that sorry excuse for a sofa. $638 later I was back home and on a mission to make it just that. My home.

After working for nearly 6 hours straight I decided to go exploring. I slid into my favorite pair of Hollister jeans, a tight black tee, and my lime green chucks. Quick check of my makeup and I was out the door. As I turned around to lock the deadbolt one of the most stunningly handsome men I had ever seen bumped into me, sending his paper sack of groceries flying everywhere.

"Oh God I'm so sorry!" He exclaimed, "For some reason the whole hand-eye coordination thing has always been rather elusive to me."

"It's not a problem," I assured him, "Here, let me help you with those."

"Thanks, you don't have to help, it's all my fault this mess is everywhere…"

"Please, I insist! It's the least I can do to help the first person I've met in LA. I'm Bella, by the way. I just moved here today actually, and you are…"

"Oh, sorry! I'm Jasper!" his cheeks flushed crimson briefly, giving away his embarrassment. Apparantly, basic social graces were another fault of his, but I had the feeling that his dimples and bright green eyes would never let me hold that against him.

Mmm…hold it against him…too bad he's not holding me against him...

Down girl! You just met him and already you're eye-fucking the shit out of him!

I can't help it! Would you look at him?! Look at those magnificently sculpted arms and those lips…oh those stupendously kissable lips!

Ok I had a point there! His lips were perfect…just begging me to kiss and nibble on them. I had to gather my thoughts and shake the powerful images encroaching on my consciousness quickly if I didn't want to give away everything I was thinking.

"ummm…Bella?"

Damnit…he noticed my daydreaming gaze and lustful lip-biting. Fuck.

"Yeah, sorry, haha, ADD, I see something shiny and I'm instantly distracted!" I laughed a nervous giggle hoping that he wouldn't figure out that HE was the something shiny to which I referred.

"Haha…no problem…I'm the same way when I see something that demands my attention." His eyes locked on mine making the heat between my legs grow hot and wet, and I knew instantly that there was something there and that at the very least, Jasper would be my first LA conquest. And the growing bulge beneath his belt buckle confirmed that I had the same effect on him.

I eyed his magnificent package as I picked up the last of his runaway groceries and placed it in his bag.

"So how long have you lived here?" I asked him as I confidently stared into his eyes.

"I moved here 5 months ago. "

"So you're practically an expert on the ins and outs of the city by now aren't you" I smirked at him.

"I suppose so," he smirked back "Want a tour guide?" His eyes twinkled in a magnificent way.

"You know, it couldn't hurt could it? I'd love to have you show me some of the sights!"

"good, let me just get these put away and we'll head out ok?"

"Need any help?"

"Well I'd be a fool to turn down the help of a beautiful young woman such as yourself, come on in darlin'."

And come on in I did. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but the lust making my words catch in my throat and the desire building within me made me throw all caution to the wind...

***Ok show me some love or hate!! Thanks!!***
