Omg thank you soo much for the views and interests and the reviews! I'm shocked to say the least.

Sorry for the cliffy, it just seemed a good place to stop. ;)
R&R Please and thank you!
I own nothing but my own name!

I lifted my head up off his chest and looked into his eyes trying to get one more read, and yet still nothing. I had no clue. "Well, Jax. I have to say I know everything about you…" He interrupted me.

"As I know everything about you." He smirked.

"Let me finish…thank you. As I was saying Jax, I know everything about you but, I'm confused as to that look in your eyes. I can't place it."

He gave me a hearty laugh before saying, "Oh my beautiful Swan. How can you be so blind?"

Chapter 2

Bella POV

Blind? What did he mean blind? Seeing the confusion on my face, Jasper changed the subject.

"Let's eat before it gets cold, Bells." he said with a smile and a twinkle in his eye.

As I made our plates with the various Mexican dishes Jasper had bought, he fixed glasses of sweet tea for us. Jasper took a big swig of the sweet tea.

"Mmm Bells, I've missed your sweet tea. Amazing as always!"

I blushed and replied with a smile, "Thank you kind Sir."

Jasper couldn't help but laugh, "You're welcome my Lady."

We always seem to speak to each other like we were from another time and place. I didn't mind, I loved it. I guess that's why Jasper and I have always gotten along so well, we both loved history. We were so much a like yet so very different. We complimented each other very well, that's why he was my #1 BFF. Don't get me wrong, Rose is my BFF as well…just a girl can't help how her heart feels. Jasper got a full ride to go to Alabama University to play soccer. I was so proud of him when he told me and still am to this day. Soccer did that man good. Jasper was athletic to say the least. All thru high school he was on the track team and was the Captain for our Jr and Varsity Soccer teams. Go Wildcats!

Flashback

"Bella. Bella? Oh where oh where can my Bella be?" I could hear Jasper looking for me down stairs.

"I'm up here Jax." I yelled down to him.

He ran up the stairs taking two at a time. "Bells, guess what?!"

I was sick today so I was in bed looking like a hot mess. I rolled over to look at him. He was wearing his blue wildcat gym shorts and a white soccer shirt from school. He was all out of breath and excited. He turned me on. Oh not this again I thought to myself trying to gain some control.

"What is it Jax? What's got you all excited and jumpin thru loops?" Even though I was sick I couldn't help but pick up on Jasper's excitement. Hell it made me get antsy and excited too.

"Oh B, you'll never believe it. I got a full scholarship to go to Alabama and play soccer for them!"

I flew up off the bed on to Jasper, "Oh my god, are you serious?! I can't believe it. I'm soo proud of you Jasper. I Lo… I knew you could do it." I started to get really light headed, which made me almost forget I almost just told Jasper I loved him loved him. Jasper held on to me tight and laid me down in my bed. I asked him to lay with me till I felt better which he did.

Quietly, almost to quiet, I heard him say, "I love you too, Bella." And with that I was asleep.

When I woke up two hours later, Jasper was nowhere to be seen upstairs. I figure he went home till I heard Charlie ask someone to bring him a beer. I smiled at that. It always seemed my dad liked Jasper and Jax, well he loved my dad.

Flashback End

Bella POV

"Bells, wake up. I think you left me there for a second."

"Sorry, I did. Ha-ha… I was just thinkin' about Charlie. I need to call him; I guess I will sometime this weekend."

"Yeah? He'd like that ya know?"

"Yeah, I know." I thought about my dad another moment.

"I've just been really busy trying to adjust to being a junior, with my class load and studying, and I also started back working at Barnes and Noble. And on top of that, I have my house to keep clean every day; with the dishes, the laundry, the floors, and what not.

"Whoa there Swan, sounds like you need to slow your roll."

"Yeah, I know." I said once again.

"Yeah?" Jasper asked.

"Yeah," I sighed. I knew he was right. He seemed to always be right.

Jasper gave me a jaw dropping smile.

"It's started to um; it's started to slow down some. So uh, that's a good thing ya know?" I said nervously, trying not to let Jasper know how he affected me.

Oh but he did notice. Giving me another one of his smiles, he laid on the charm. " Ms. Swan, I do declare that we spend the weekend together so you can learn to relax some."

There was a hidden message in what he said. It made me nervous for a split second, but excited at the same time. It had been too long since just he and I spent any time together. This past summer as a matter of fact; which is when our friendship, I guess you could say, changed. Jasper had started flirting with me when we got home for summer. At first I was in shock and denial. Rosalie had told me to just go with it and to quit doubting everything including myself. She had been right. Jasper and I grew even closer to each other than we ever were. I was smitten with him, but I've learned to deal with it the older I got. He shared things with me that were so intimate; I don't think he'd ever told anyone not even Em or Rose. Ah last summer was amazing.

I had done it again, got lost in my own mind. We finished eating in silence while watching TV. The silence was not uncomfortable, it was nice and peaceful. I went to clean up our mess and Jasper stopped me.

"Hey, I'll get the dishes. You, get that." He pointed to the ash tray.

Always Jasper to be the first one who wants to smoke after eating. He was the first person I ever smoked with. No, he didn't pressure me in to it either. When we were 18, we both decided to 'experiment' what it was like to get 'high'.

Flashback

"Okay Jax, what do you want to do first on the list?"

'The List' was something we had made thru our childhood and teenage years. The List consisted of the things we wanted to try but wanted to be responsible about it; so it was a stipulation, or promise, we would wait till we were both 18 and graduated from high school.

"Well, I was actually kind of thinking about sampling some pot!" Jasper smiled at me.

I giggled, "actually me too! I heard it helps stress. I have been stressing so much. Trying to get ready for college and Charlie has been driving me up a wall."

He laughed, "Ha! OK. I'll help you with Charlie and do you want to smoke tonight?"

"I guess…I don't have anything better to do but hang out with my best friends!"

"Bella, can it just be me and you tonight?" He asked shyly.

Whoa, where was confident, strong, mr. athlete Jasper at?

"Yeah, of course Jax. I'd love that." His face lit up.

"OK. Do you want to come with me to go get it?"

"Yeah, sure." Pause. "Jax, do you even know where to get it?"

"HaHa. Yes, Bella. I am part of the Athletic Department, a.k.a. I'm around every social group possible. You know Peter and Charlotte smoke on occasion, so I can get it no problem. Plus I heard their dealer, Maria, likes me so I might get the hook up." He winked at me.

I knew he was being playful, but it hurt at the same time. No way would I let him know that.

Flashback End

I picked the half of blunt up and lit it while Jasper finished up the dishes. As he walked back to the couch, I held out the smoking substance.

"Thank you. Don't mind if I do." He smiled, falling into the couch and began smoking.

"Bella, thank you. I honestly cannot remember the last time I smoked." He passed it back to me.

"Jax really? How long have we been smoking together? I would never deny you anything." There was a double meaning in that but I hoped that Jasper didn't pick up on it.

"Bella, there's something I need to tell you." Jasper said looking into my eyes as if it pained him now that he thought about it.

"What is it Jax? You know you can tell me anything." I stated, starting to get nervous.

Sorry this took so long I hit some road blocks and life happened

Let me know what u think he should tell her!
