Dirty Little Secret-
I plodded down the stairs, feeling deflated. Edward knew that something was wrong between us but as to what it was, he had not go a clue. I knew what it was. There was something between us, or more like someone.
I landed with a thud on the flat surface of the floor just before Jasper moved to stand in front of me.
"Does he know?" He asked me through gritted teeth.
I shook my head. I was amazed that Jasper had been able to conceal his thoughts away from Edward do effectively without even the slightest bit of information being leaked through the brainwaves that Edward read like a book.
"Jasper…We can't go on like this." I said, tilting my head up to look him in the eye.
He quickly gave a glance in both directions, grabbed my wrist and lead me out of the back door. We walked fro what felt like ages before we came to a small clearing where we would be easily out of range for Edward's ability to be able to reach us.
I sat down on a large rock that had a perfectly flat top. "Jasper-"
He interrupted me with a kiss upon my lips. A long, passionate kiss that I wished could have lasted forever.
I pushed him away, surprised that I was not out of breath, although I had just become a vampire, so that would explain most. "Jasper! What are we going to do? We can't just keep going on like this." I said, gazing into his beautiful, golden eyes. They were the same colours as Edward but they held a whole mysterious sensuality that Edward could never manage. Jasper was like a magnet, pulling me closer and closer towards him. I was powerless to it.
"What am I supposed to do? I can't just leave Alice…she believes I am her soul mate."
I lowered my head, feeling my hair curtain my face so that Jasper could not see my expression. "But - is it really right for us to be doing this? 'Playing around' behind our partner's backs?"
He placed a hand upon my shoulder. "What other choice do we have?" He placed his finger under my chin and delicately tilted my head upwards so that I was looking into his eyes once again.
I sighed and closed mine. "We don't have one." I admitted, experiencing the sensation of a stone dropping to the pit of my stomach as the truth dawned on me. Jasper and I would have to have a secret relationship. There was no other thing for it.
Jasper brushed his lips against my forehead. "I'm sorry it has to be this way." He said.
I threw my arms around him and placed my lips upon his once again, never wanting to let go and never having to. With neither of us breathing, this euphoria could last for all eternity and we would never run out of breath, need to eat, or any other ordinary human needs.
His arms wrapped around my waist and pulled my body closer to his, so close that our bodies were touching. My legs clasped around his waist.
"I love you, Bella." He whispered into my ear.
"I love you." I whispered back, placing my lips onto his.
After we had been connected for some time, I suddenly had a thought that made my skin become populated by goosebumps. "Won't Alice foresee this?" I asked Jasper, finally pulling my lips away from his and looking into his eyes to see his reaction.
His facial expression changed to one of horror. "I hadn't considered that aspect to our relationship. Of course she will foresee it." He released me from his grasp and then walked away, tracing a circle in the grass with his path.
"We thought over the Edward ordeal pretty easily." I said. The idea was not to think of the other whilst Edward was close enough to read your thoughts. But Alice's gift would be harder to escape. The only way that I knew of was to mingle with the wolves in La Push. As Jasper is a vampire, and I am also one, that idea was out of the question. That one would have scared her anyway, our images in her head just disappeared; like we didn't exist.
"Her gift is harder to evade." Jasper said, stating the obvious. "She could see into our relationship at anytime. She could see that we are doing something wrong. Her visions come without warning these days."
I dipped my head, looking at my shoes. "I don't know what we're going to do."
He walked over to me again and captured me in an embrace. "We'll just have to wait and hope that she doesn't discover."
I snuggled up against him. I wished that she wouldn't find out. I hoped that she wouldn't discover our secret. This dirty little secret.
