Our eyes locked, and just like that, the world shifted.
'Jasper, this is Isabella Swan. The one I was telling you about this morning. Bella, this is my other son, Jasper.' Our eyes were still locked, as Jasper walked over to me, took my hand a pressed a light kiss to my knuckles. I swear I felt my dead heart move.
'Hey there, Miss Bella.' He said, a southern drawl graced his voice. I gave a light smile.
'Hi..' I said simply. He took a seat next to me, our eyes never leaving each others.
'So Bella, what do you do for a living?' Rose asked. I reluctantly, so reluctantly, tore my gaze away from Jasper's to look at her.
'I'm a doctor.' I shrugged. She looked impressed.
'So how long have you been a vampire? It must have taken ages to master the self control.' Em commented. I shook my head.
'Not really. I was turned 30 years ago.' I told them honestly. They all gasped, and stared at me.
'30 years?' Rose gasped. 'But... I've been a vampire for 100 years, and I can't even stand to walk in the hospital!' She shook her head.
I bit my lip. 'Well, I don't know... I always hated blood when I was human, so maybe I brought my aversion over to this life?'
Carlisle nodded. 'Maybe that's your power.' He theorised.
'But that would mean I have three?' I tilted my head to the side. He looked at me confused.
'What are you two current ones?' He asked.
'I have a mental/physical shield and I can control the elements.' I told him. Jasper smiled.
'Seriously! I have to see that.' He exclaimed. I smiled tenderly, and looked at a vase full of flowers. I used my power to turn the water into a spiral shape, and made it move out of the vase. The others gasped. Jasper laughed. I leaned into the arm he had on the back of the sofa.
'That's incredible darlin'!' He exclaimed, shaking his head. I released the water and it fell gracefully into the vase. I glanced at the clock, then frowned.
'I should really be getting home. I need to hunt before tomorrow.' I stood to go, and Jasper whimpered. I looked at him, and held a hand out to him. 'You can come too. If you want.' I really didn't like the idea of leaving him. He smiled, and stood up.
Carlisle cleared his throat. 'Are you two sure? You must know it is very dangerous for vampires to hunt with anyone other than their mate.' He said carefully. I leaned into Jasper slightly.
'Oh believe me Carlisle, we'll be fine.' Jasper winked. Carlisle coughed.
'Okay, I'll see you later Jazz. And you tomorrow, Bella.' We waved and walked out of the house, hand in hand.
'I don't think we'll have to worry about setting them up.' Em joked. Esme giggled. Both Jazz and I let out laughs of our own.
'C'mon. What are you in the mood for?' Jazz asked, looking like a little kid. I smiled.
'Hmm... I could go for some wolf. Proper Canadian wolf.' I grinned.
Jazz smirked. 'My favourite.' We started to run north.
'My favourite too.' I laughed.
'I love it, but I don't get it often enough.' He pouted, and I giggled at him.
'Aw, well, I'll go with you anytime.' I squeezed his hand. He stopped.
'Really? Seriously for really real?' He asked, looking very excited.
'Yes. Of course. Why wouldn't I?' I asked, him tilting my head to the side.
'None of my family ever will.' He shrugged.
'But I'm not your family, am I?' I responded.
He kissed my forehead, both of our eyes closing at the sensation. I removed my lips and whispered. 'C'mon. We should run so we get to Canada quicker.'
The rest of the journey was spent in silence, both relaxed in each other's presence. When we arrived in Canada, we soon caught the scent of a wolf pack, so we moved after them.
I took down two of the females, while Jasper took three others. After I finished my second one, I decided to watch Jasper hunt. I sat on a rock.
He crouched, looking for his next target. His eyes, lethal and deadly, locked on a smaller one, an old male, by the looks of things. He waited, for the perfect opportunity and sprang. As quick as an arrow, he latched onto his target, quickly snapping the animals neck, to cause him less pain. I watched, enthralled as Jasper brought the carcass to his luscious lips, and licked them slowly, before taking a bite into the wolf. I rubbed my legs together in an attempt to get some friction where it was needed most.
He dropped the body at his feet, and looked to me. There was a trail of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, down his chin. I couldn't stop myself. I walked over to him, and rested my hands against his chest. I leaned up, and lapped at the trail of blood. We both moaned in unison.
'Bella...' He moaned, as he smelt my arousal.
'Jasper...' I leant my forehead against. I felt his own arousal pressing into my stomach. 'Jasper, we can't do this.' I told him. As much as I wanted to, it was too soon.
'I know. But I want to... So, so bad.' He mumbled, smelling my neck.
'And we will. Not yet though, it's too soon.' We locked eyes, and the world melted away. We both leaned in and our lips met in a fiery explosion.
We payed no attention to our surroundings, as I through my legs around his waist, and his hands pulled me closer by my waist. His tongue begged for entrance, something I eagerly granted. Our tongues were soon locked in a battle for domination. Jasper soon won, and claimed my mouth, searching every corner. I moaned. A lot. But Jasper did too, so it's ok.
After a few more minutes we broke apart, and stared into each other's eyes. Without breaking the contact, he leaned in and pressed a gentle, yet possessive kiss on my lips. 'Mine.' He whispered roughly.
'Yours.' I repeated, kissing his lips softly. I leaned into him and he wrapped his arms around me. I greedily inhaled his delectable scent – Vanilla and lemon.
'As much as I would love to stay here, I think we ought to head home.' Jasper breathed into my ear. I shuddered, and nodded.
'Let's go.'
It took us about an hour to get back to the Cullen mansion. I was currently standing by my car. Jasper was holding my hand. 'I don't want you to go.' He frowned.
'Jazz, I have to get ready for work. And so do you.' I poked his chest. He sighed, and pulled me into it. I took great comfort in it.
'But I'll miss you.' He mumbled.
'I'll miss you too.' I stroked his back. 'Look, how about you pick me up at 7, and we'll go to the cinema, or walk around the park or something.' I suggested.
He perked up a bit. 'Like a date?' He asked.
'Yes, a date.' I promised. He nodded.
'I'd love that.' He smiled. I brushed some hair back from his face, and pressed a light kiss to his lips.
When we pulled away, we exchanged numbers, and I got into my car and drove away.
JPOV
I knew that as soon as I walked into the house, I would be assaulted by my family, so I tried to put it off for as long as possible.
I waited for about 2 minutes before walking inside. Em ran up to me. 'Did you and Bella fuck?' He asked excitedly.
I shook my head. 'No. It's not like that.' I mumbled, pushing past him. She had been gone for about 3 minutes and I was already going crazy without her.
'Well then, what is it like?' Carlisle asked, coming down the stairs. I flopped on to the sofa.
'I don't know... It's just... I just looked into her eyes, and everything just... changed.' I shrugged. 'I just needed to hold her close, and kiss her, and protect her. I needed to be near her.' It was really weird.
Carlisle and Esme shared a look. 'Jasper, you do know what this means, don't you?' Esme asked carefully.
I shook my head no.
'Jasper... You have just found your mate.' She smiled lightly. I blinked at her.
'Really?' I asked, happy.
Carlisle smiled and nodded. 'Yes.' I grinned.
'Oh Jasper! Congratulations! You've been alone for so long, you deserve someone as good as Bella.' I smiled.
'Thanks, but I really need to get ready for school.' I ran upstairs and jumped into the shower. I let the hot water pound on my muscles.
Bella... My mate... My beautiful mate... Mine...
I really could not believe my luck. How could that gorgeous woman even look at me? Surely, my scars must repulse her?
Oh well. After pondering for a few more minutes, I jumped out the shower, and towel dried my hair. I pulled on some black slacks, a white shirt and a grey tie. I left the top few buttons of the shirt undone and my tie loose. I grabbed my shoulder bag and ran downstairs, throwing a goodbye at my family.
I jumped into my car, and was soon on the way to school.
I had checked the time repeatedly throughout the day and finally, finally, it was my final lesson of the day.
I waited rather impatiently as the seniors filed in. 'Come on please. I want to get started.' I hurried, taking out my notes for the lesson.
After giving my lecture, I set them the task of writing an essay. I walked around the room, observing their work.
'No really man, she was the hottest thing that I have ever seen in my entire life.' Mike Newton boasted. I rolled my eyes.
'Who's this?' I asked. At the school, I was considered one of the cooler teachers, mainly because I wasn't very strict and didn't mind talking, more like gossiping, with the kids.
'Her name is Doctor Swan. I think her first name is Isabel, or something, but she was literally sex on legs.' He groaned. I clenched my jaw.
'Her name is Isabella, actually. But call her that and she'll rip your balls off.' I corrected him, feeling smug as I did so.
His eyes widened. 'You know her?' Eric asked.
'I do. But don't you think it would be nice to actually do the work I assigned?' I raised an eyebrow. They sighed but started to work. I looked at the clock. Just 20 more minutes...
After class, I raced home. Even though we weren't meeting till 7, I needed to speak to Carlisle. When I got home, he was waiting for me outside.
'Alice said you needed to talk to me?' He asked, as we walked up to his study. I nodded.
'Well, obviously, I've never had any experience with mating, so I just wanted to know how it works, what happens, and how I should go about it.' I explained.
He nodded. 'Understandable. Well, every vampire has someone they are destined to be with, and that call is so strong, it is unable to be ignored.' I nodded. I knew I wouldn't be able to ignore Bella, ever. 'It's not love at first sight, so to speak. Girls just mainly feel devotion, attraction and submission. Males will feel attraction, possessiveness and domination. This is because in vampires, males are always the dominate. It's not sexist, just the way we were... taught. That's what our instinct tells us.' I nodded. 'So... I think to start off with, you should take it slow.' He said.
'We were, anyway.' I told him.
He smiled. 'Good, because many mates go into it full blast, and these days... These first few days are fundamental in the development of the relationship. This is when the trust between the two in first built. It will strengthen after time, but this is when it first appears. It needs to be given time, before you give each other your bodies. Get to know each other. Hobbies, talent, music, colours, anything! Just talk. And no sex.' He said sternly. I smiled.
'Okay. Thanks Carlisle.' I paused. 'You know, you're pretty cool for an old man.' I joked. He laughed.
'Go see Bella, Jasper.' I saluted him and walked into my room. I grabbed my phone.

Hey Jay,

27 Green Bay.

I smiled at my phone. I tapped an okay in, and sent that. Changing my clothes, I pulled on some tight black jeans and a grey top. I got my black leather jacket and black chucks. I jumped out the window, and ran towards the cliff.
I knew when I had reached Bella's house. It was big, not excessively so, like mine, but bigger than she needs. It was in front of the forest, a short walk away from a small cliff. It overlooked the sea, and the forest. It was gorgeous.
I knocked on the door, and Bella answered in a rush. She threw her arms around me, knocking the air out of me. 'I missed you.' She mumbled into my neck.
'I missed you too. So much.' I lightly kissed her lips, then pulled away. 'Where do you want to go?' I asked her as she led me inside.
'I don't mind. As long as we get to talk.' She smiled, pushing me down onto the couch. After I was seated, she crawled into my lap and leaned her head against my chest. She started playing with my fingers.
'Well, how about we just stay in then?' I asked, not willing to move my body from her small, warm one.
'Mm... That's fine with me.' She sighed contently. I rested my chin on top of her head.
'I spoke to Carlisle.' I told her, tightening my grip on her waist slightly.
'Yeah, what about?' She asked.
'You. Me. Well, us.' I told her. 'You know what he said? Told me we were mates.' I confessed. She turned around to look me in the eyes.
'He told me too.' She smiled. 'And I couldn't be happier.' She laughed softly. I smiled and leaned forward to place a soft kiss to her lips. 'I feel sorry for you though. You get stuck with me.' She giggled.
'Darlin, I am so, so grateful for that fact.' I shook my head. 'So what should we do?'
'Let's just talk.' She smiled, and we settled in for a long talk.
Tadaaa :)
So here's chapter 2... Sorry it took so long to get up.
Please review, and look at my other story 'WarZone' It's also Jas/Bella.
