Chapter 3 – Just how Jasper is

BPOV

WOW! Really WOW! I think I'll be able to get on with Edward. Shopping with him was great. We picked up a gift for Alice and when we came back, we met Mike. I was so happy that he knows about us before Monday. Edward hold me so tight that I was almost choking, but I didn't mind. He was really convincing when he hugged me. It looked like he was really jealous because of Mike.

And Mike? WOW! He was amazed and it was quite visible that he didn't get on with Edward well. And it means that our plan is working, doesn't it?

When we reached Edward's house, I was really impressed. It was small, but cozy. White walls with red roof looked so pleasant and family-warm-like. It invited everyone, who looked at it. There was even nicer inside. Cozy, everything in ancient style. In the kitchen there was beautiful, young woman, about thirty years old, who greeted us with encouraging smile.

"Mom, it's Bella. Bella, It's my mom" Edward introduced us carefully. I think he wasn't sure if he should tell that we're going out, if it's only fake.

"Good morning, Mrs. Cullen" the woman smiled at us widely and hugged me.

"Just call me Esme"

"You've got beautiful house, Esme" I said honestly, what caused even bigger smile at woman's face.

When Esme let us free eventually, Edward leaded us to his room.

"Wow, it's nice here" I said and without restraint fall on Edward's bed.

"It's my temple" he said, watching me.

"You're already back? How was …" blonde-headed guy went through the door and looked confused between me and Edward. "Oh, sorry. I didn't know you have a guest"

"Jazz I told you to knock" Edward snapped at him, but Jasper completely ignored him and walked in my direction.

"Jasper, but you can call me Jazz" he said and shook my hand. Wow. It was visible that he was Edward's brother. He was handsome. His blond hair perfectly composed with green eyes. He smiled widely at me.

"Isabella, but you can call me Bella" I wanted to answer in similar way to his answer. He smiled even wider and I shook his hand too. I thought that he was going to shook it and let it go, but Edward's brother had other plans. He put me closer to him and when all my body was pressed to his, he kissed my cheek.

"Mmmm…" he murmured. "You smell nice, Bella"

His seductive voice catch me under guard, so I didn't say anything. Was he picking me up?

I heard load snap after a minute and Jasper pushed himself off of me with a giggle.

"I think my brother is jealous" he whispered in my ear and sat beside me on the bed. I blushed, of course, what caused only more laughs from Jasper.

"Jazz" Edward hissed with his teeth clenched tight. "Me and Bella have to talk"

"Sure, talk" Jasper smiled at me, but he didn't look like he wanted to go out.

"Alone" hissed Edward.

"Oh, no, Edward. It's okay. It's just your brother" I said with my firm smile. I don't know why, but I liked Jasper. Not in that way, but he was funny and I felt casually with him.

Edward's face was unable to read, but he sat down on my other side.

"How did we met?" he asked with cute voice. Damn! I didn't think about that.

"Hmm…" I started to think.

"I know" shouted Jasper with joy. "You were at his piano concert two weeks ago and you met there"

"Great idea" I smiled. I noticed fear in Edward eyes, but it disappeared quickly behind wide smile.

"Yeah" he said. "Just great"

"Very convincing and real. Right, Edward?"

I could see as Edward started to get mad, but he controlled himself and nodded.

"When is you birthday?" I asked to release the atmosphere.

"On the 13th June, and yours?"

"13th September"

"You're both so unfortunate" Jasper laughed out. "If it's about me…"

"Jazz, we're twins, you were born the same day as me" Edward gave him a death look.

"No, brother. You were born the same day as ME!" Jasper laughed out again.

"Hey, wait a minute! You're twins? How is it possible?" I asked amazed. "I mean, you're very similar of course, but you're so different through. You know, your hair and so on. You don't look like twins"

Both of them laughed out and Jasper opened his mouth.

"I know, right? I'm more handsome. I could be your fake-boyfriend, you know?"

Jasper leaned over me, but Edward pushed him off and laughed.

"No way. Mike's already seen me" he showed him his tongue like little boy and smiled with predomination. "It doesn't matter through. Bella would choose me anyway"

They both looked at me with expectancy and I didn't know what is going on. I decided to release the atmosphere eventually. I winked at Jasper and leaned over Edward.

"Of course, I would choose you, honey" I whispered in his ear and scuffed his cheek with my lips. Then I push off quickly. His face was priceless. He stayed still and aghast. Me and Jazz exchanged looks and we burst into laugh.

Edward came back to reality after a minute and he started to laugh with us. Atmosphere was more casually. We talked about some dumb things the next few hours. About 10 p.m. I asked Edward to take me home, because I decided that Charlie would die from nervousness. The boy drove me to my house and he said he would pick me up at 7 a.m. on Monday and then he drove away.

EPOV

When she took my invitation to my house, I was really happy. She was impressed when she looked at my house. Esme got on with her well and really like her. I wasn't sure if I should introduce her as my girlfriend, but I just didn't identified her at the end. I wanted to talk to her in my room, but as usually Jasper went through my door and ruined everything.

I thought that I'm gonna wallop him when he hugged and kissed her on the cheek. And he just didn't care at all and even whispered something in her ear. Then I tried to kick him off, but he was so stubborn and didn't want to go out. And Bella backed him up! I thought I was gonna blow up! He was flirting with her all the time.

And then he came up with that stupid idea 'how I met Bella'. God! I'm gonna kill him! He had to remind me, just had to! I made a virtue of necessity and hoped that Bella didn't noticed that.

But her next move completely catch me off guard. When she leaned over and whispered 'honey', I thought I was gonna fall upon her. I felt her sweet scent and totally lost control. And then her soft lips scuffing my cheek. I don't care it was just a little peck. It turned me on anyway. It was amazing. I wanted to catch her and kiss her with all my force. But I couldn't. Firstly, I have a girlfriend. Secondly, she wants that idiot Newton.

Jasper didn't care about it at all.

"Idiot!" I screamed at him, when I met him in my room after driving Bella home. I gave him a death look and fall into a bed.

"What's wrong?" Jazz asked innocently.

"You were picking her up all the time and you're asking me what's wrong?" I was really mad.

"Hey, she's not your girlfriend!" Jazz defended himself. "But she's a bit of all right. Why didn't that Mike want her? He must be completely idiot or gay"

"Maybe both" I said and we both burst out laughing.

"Well, talking about girlfriends, Rose called" my brother said, messing up the atmosphere. He noticed my winced face and threw me my phone. I called to LA, miles away to talk to my girlfriend, who I didn't miss at all. I knew that it's bad and so on, but I couldn't help it. My thoughts were with completely other person.

"Hello darling" I heard happy voice on the other side. "Why weren't you answering? I was so anxious"

"Ekhm … I was busy" Jasper laughed out at my words and I hit him with the pillow.

"I understand, sweetie, but remember about me too. I miss you"

"Me too, Rose. But I have to go. Jazz looks like he's gonna have some attack. I'm gonna call you later"

I hung up quickly. I didn't lie theoretically. Jazz rolled over with laughs on the floor and he really looked like he had some kind of attack. I hit him with the pillow again.

"You like her, don't you?" he stopped laughing and sat down on a couch.

"Rose? Yeah, she's my girlfriend"

"Not Rose, idiot! Bells!"

"Bella? I don't know, she's pretty" Of course I liked her. She was beautiful and she had character.

"Well, I like her" Jasper said. I just started to worry that I'll run out of pillows.

"Ok, Edward. You don't want to confess that, but I can see that. I know that you like her and I know why. She's beautiful, sexy, funny…"

"Jazz!" I snapped.

"Ok, ok. I was flirting with her only to educate you that you like her. She's pretty and so on, but I just don't pick my friend's girlfriends up. She's yours. Moreover, she prefers you"

"What?" I was confused. She was flirting with Jazz all the time just like he was flirting with her.

"We were making fun of you. Just use the situation. She's your girlfriend. Even if it's only pretending. Kiss her in front of that moron and then say that it's all the part of the plan. Think, idiot! Show her that you're better than him. You're two steps before him – you're closer to her already"

I was listening to this long talk and I started to have some hope. He was right. Maybe Bella wanted Mike, but fucking Newton was so gutless that he was afraid of her, so now it's my turn. I can pretend to help her and won her heart in the same time! Or at least her body!

I smiled at Jasper and he smiled back. My brother, who I was so mad at a minute about, helped me.

"God, I love you, Jazz!" I yelled. "I know what I'm gonna do now. Thanks!"

"You can always count on me, bro" he said. "Maybe you could introduce me to that Bella's friend who got you into this?"

He smiled cunningly and I laughed out. It's just Jasper, who we all know and love!
