Jasper meets Edward at a club in Seattle. He quickly falls for the innocent blond blue eyed kid; Jasper knows that as beautiful as Edward is there is something dark about him. Jacob, Jaspers long time crush comes to visit and reveal a secret. Jasper doesn't know that Edward is the most dangerous mob boss Seattle has ever known.
I don't know much about the mob and there terms or titles. This is just my crazy mind spinning. I don't speak or read Italian, and I'm sorry if I insult anyone, it was not my intention. This will be in Jasper's point of view unless otherwise noted. I OWN NOTHING. ALL CHARACTERS BELONT TO THE VERY TALLENTED STEPHENIE MEYER.
I want to give a special thank you to kat4543 for being my first review.
Thank you so much to everyone that posted a review. You have no idea how excited and happy I was to see them. I hope this chapter is to your satisfaction. Jasper had to explain a little about his three BFF's.
I'll try to post at least twice a week until I go back to school, than it will be once a week.
Thanks everyone and enjoy.
One Night
Chapter 2 BFF x 3
"Uhm, yeah I…I had just gotten into bed when your phone rang." My heart was beating so fast I thought it would jump out my chest. For a minute I thought he might be able to hear it through the line. We were both quiet for a long moment, until he cleared his throat.
"Do you normally go through other peoples clothes?" he chuckled softly
"No, do you normally wake people when they're trying to sleep?" I whispered back so I wouldn't wake Riley up.
"Only if it benefits me." He answered back matter a fact like. I could hear the muffled thump of the music in the background.
"How exactly does waking me up, benefit you?" I countered.
"I don't like to divulge all my secrets on the first phone call." I was speechless, he was teasing me. This beautiful man was actually teasing me. And he sounded nerves too, nothing at all like the man I saw in the office.
He was silent for a moment again but it wasn't awkward in any way. It sounded like he was drinking something. "Who are you?"
"What? Who am I?" Where did that come from? "I don't understand the question?"
"I checked the name on your ID and Jay Hale does not exist. However, Mr. Jasper Whitlock came up as retired military, and you don't look retired. " How the hell did he know my name? Seth.
"I… " I couldn't say I was seventeen, no matter how close my birthday was, or that I had a fake ID. "You don't want to know."
"On the contrary Mr. Whitlock, I'm very interested." He said with what sounded like amusement in his velvet voice. My sleep deprived brain couldn't grasp the entirety of this situation. Beautiful and I were playfully bantering. Beautiful… I need to find out what his name is.
"What about you, who are you? I heard that creep call you Mr. C, but what's your real name?" I asked hoping I wasn't overstepping any boundaries.
"Creep?" he sounded confused. "Jenks, you won't have to worry about him anymore." He growled. Iculd hear him pouring a drink. Then a little softer he answered "Edward, my name is Edward Cullen. The staff calls me Mr. C." He answered in a solemn voice. He was quiet again for a long time. I looked behind me and noticed the alarm clock on Riley's bed side table said it was 4:30am and I had to leave for work at 7:45 if I wanted to be on time.
I couldn't help but wonder why he was even talking to me, especially after I spilled that drink on him. When he spoke again he sounded somewhat pensive voice.
"What is your relation to Ra…Riley." He paused. "Are you two intimate?"
"What?" I chuckled "No, Riley is my best friend." I looked behind my best friend, snoring softly. "Why?" I heard a sigh through the phone as if he had been holding his breath.
"Hmm." I heard shuffling and then the sound of music got loud and instantly it was gone again. "Any benefits?"
"Bene… no. We tried once but it didn't work out." I thought back at the disaster of a make out session we had that ended up in a fit of laughter. He was quiet for a long time. I think he was pouring himself another drink.
"Do you wan..."
"Listen Edw…" We both spoke at the same time and then we laughed and Riley stirred on the bed behind me. "Go ahead." I said still smiling.
"No, you first. Please." I really didn't want to end this…this, whatever this was. But I really had to get some sleep if I was going to be worth something tomorrow.
"I was going to say that I have to work early tomorrow, or later on today. I hate to cut this short but I really need to get some sleep."
"All right then I'll let you rest. Sleep well… beautiful." He slurred and then the line clicked off with his last words. I stood there for a moment looking at the phone in my hand.
That night was the longest night of my life. I couldn't fall asleep; my brain just wouldn't shut down. All I could think of was that beautiful man with the intense stair. His pail skin, green emerald eyes, and red plump lips kept swirling in my head. He was so beautiful it was almost painful to look at him. He had the craziest hair though; it reminded me of the color of a penny.
Even though I had no sleep at all, I wasn't really tired; I knew it'll catch up to me later. Before I left, I kissed Riley on the forehead and told him I would call him later tonight.
"Have a nice day at work dear." He called back with a ruff sleepy voice.
Riley's mom was up making breakfast when I walked past the kitchen. "Good morning ."I called as I walked to the door.
"Good morning sweetheart." She called back.
Over the years Riley's parents have been like a second set of parents to me. When I moved here with my parents from Forks, Riley was the first person to speak to me. He said he could feel a kindred spirit in me and that his gaydar was set off as soon as he saw me. And he has been one of my best friends since then. I knew I was gay at a very young age and refused to hide it. I wasn't flamboyant or anything on the contrary, I'm very much your typical all American boy. I have short blond hair, blue eyes and a pretty fit body thanks to Jake and Paul. I had the surfer boy look going on like Paul said tan and all. I wasn't really into sports or anything but I practiced with the football team. In Forks all the guys knew I was gay but it didn't make a difference to them. One of my best friends, Jacob Black, was the quarter back of the football team; he made sure the guys understood I was not to be touched. Paul Lohet, was my other best friend, he and Jake were best friend since they were in dippers.
Paul could be flamboyant at times, but not many people would dare call him out on it. Paul is just a little shorter than Jake, who stands at 6'02. He didn't play any sports except with Jake and me. He had a hot body too. It must be something in the Res water because most of the Res kids looked good. Jake and Paul live on the Reservation in La Push, they're Queilu, and they have the long black hair, dark brown eyes, and soft caramel skin. Jake is supposed to be the next chief in line or something like that. He's supposedly the direct descendent of one of the greatest chiefs known to their trib.
Jack and Paul are like day and night. Paul has a very short fuse, and if you don't know him like we do, you would think he was going hulk on your ass, when he throws one of his temper tantrums. Jake and I are pretty much the only ones that can sooth him when he goes off.
Jake is a whole different story all together. He is one of the most easy going, laid back person you could ever meet. He is funny, sensitive, caring, loyal and very athletic. Like I said, 6'02," and all muscle, browed shoulders, and narrow waist. But he is also the sweetest guy I have ever met. Did I mention I've had the biggest crush on him since, I first lid eyes on him. Why didn't we hooked up you ask. Well there was one big obstacle standing in my way, his girlfriend. Yes, Jake is straight as an arrow.
He and Leah started dating shortly after I moved to Forks. Paul, Jake, and I used to be inseparable before they started dating, after that, he would split his time between us and her. The four of us didn't really hang out together much. He said that it made things awkward for her when we all got together. That was fine by me, because it was hard for me to smile at her when she had her hands all over the only person I ever had feelings for. If I were honest with myself, I would say he would be the only person I could see myself falling in love with. But life is never fair. I have never had a boyfriend, and I've only kissed two guys, Paul and Riley. It was like kissing my sister. Yuck, I know.
Jake and Paul still live on the Res, we alternate visits. Riley especially enjoys when Paul is around, he says Paul is more open to exploring. The good thing is that Jake and I are such good friends that when we're left to our own device things aren't awkward between us. He doesn't feel intimidated by my taste for the opposite sex. How could he with a friend like Paul. He claims that the only down fall to my having such a gorgeous friend like him, is that know I'll set the standards for any would be suitor to high. Ha, if he only knew.
The only person that knows about my feelings for Jake is, Riley. He thinks I should tell him, just put it out there and see what happens. Not going to happen. Truth is I would rather be his friend than nothing at all. And I'm pretty sure that if he ever found out about my "slight" crush on him, he would stop talking to me just to avoid any awkwardness.
Wow I was so lost in my head I didn't even realize I was already at work. Thank god for auto pilot.
Most of my day went pretty much the same way. Last night finally caught up with me, and at lunch time I found myself sleeping in the storage room. I was startled by a vibration in my pocket and a low ding. Without even opening my eyes I pulled the phone out of my pocket and put it to my ear.
"m'low" I said but got no reply. I opened my eyes and looked at the phone in my hand, than remembered it was Edward's phone I was holding. There was a text message notice plashing.
'How are you holding up? -E.A.C.' it read.
'I was resting peacefully until you rang. -J'
'Aren't you supposed to be at work? -E.A.C.'
'I'm on lunch. –J'
'Did you eat? –E.A.C.'
God this guy is something else.
'I think so, I'm not sure. Yeah? –J'
'Isn't your break over with? –E.A.C.'
I looked at the time on the phone and sure enough I had about 5five minutes left. How the hell did he know? Was he spying on me?
'How did you know? –J'
'Wouldn't you like to know?'
Before I could reply anything another message came through.
'Going to a meeting, call you at 8pm ANSWER. –E.A.C.'
When I made it back to the front I felt even more tired than before. There was no way I was going to last all day. Luck for me Angela was here today. Maybe she'll let me leave a couple hours early if I use my secret weapon.
"Hey Ang. You think I could head out a little early today. I don't feel so good."
"What? Couldn't handle a night out with the big boys?" she teased. "Is Riley a little too much for you, Whit?"
I really just wanted to leave without any questioning.
"Yeah, I guess. Can I go, please? I'll make it up to you I promise." I gave her the puppy dog eyes and pouty lip that melts all the girls to pieces.
"Oh, fine get out of here. But using that face is not fair you know that right?" She shook her head." And it's not always going to work ether. Eventually the effect it has will wear off." I smiled big at her dimples and all. She hugged me and sent me off. I took my apron off and hung it up by the back door.
I went straight home had something to snack on and dove into bed clothes and all. I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow. I slept through the night; I woke up when the sunlight that came in through the window was too bright for me to hide from it. I realized I missed Edwards call last night. I quickly searched through my pockets for the phone. There were three missed messages and a call. Wow he was really trying to get ahold of me. I read the messages so I could reply.
'How old are you? –E.A.C.' 8pm. What am I supposed to answer? If I lie he'll eventually find out and think he can't trust me, but if I tell the truth he'll see me as a kid and won't want to have anything to do with me.
'Not a topic of interest I see. –E.A.C.' 8:25
'?'. –E.A.C.' 8:30pm
'You must be sleeping. Sleep well Beautiful. –E.A.C.' 9pm
After reading the messages I wasn't so sure continuing with whatever this was would be a good idea. I could never be what he wants, I'm just a kid. Eventually he would find out that I'm just seventeen even if my birthday is in two weeks, than he'd tell me to take a hike. There was no need for me to keep torturing myself if nothing could ever happen between us. It sounds like he wants more than a friendship and there is no way we could have that without considering the age difference. I mean I have no problem with it, but I'm sure my parents wouldn't be too happy with it. I powered the cell phone down and set it in my nightstand. Come Friday I'll drop off his property, walk away and never look back.
Thank you so much for your reviews. You have no idea how excited I was to see them. I hope this chapter is to your satisfaction.
