"Can I talk to you?" I asked Alice walking into the locker room where she was changing into her cheer leading uniform.
Alice looked up shaking her head while pulling her long black hair into a pony tail.
"What's up baby-cakes?" She questioned to me grabbing a few bows from her locker to put in her hair.
"It's about Jasper," I warned her as she motioned with her hands for me to talk. "I'm a virgin," I stated obviously watching Alice look over at me with a smile.
"And," she questioned with a smile. "You say that like it's a bad thing," she laughed slipping on her shoes.
"It is," I whined rolling my eyes. "I'm seventeen and I've never had sex, or really done anything besides making out. It makes it look like there's something wrong with me,"
Alice leaned against a locker letting me vent. "I mean obviously something just has to be wrong with me because no one could ever want me in that way," Alice held up her hand silencing me.
"Stop," she warned. "No one is allowed to talk about my best friend like that, Bella, it's not a bad thing. You're like a unicorn or something. You are gorgeous. You've got legs that go for miles, a flat stomach, hair that looks gorgeous even when it's a mess. Any guy would be lucky to have you in that way. Nothing is wrong with you. You're just want your first time to mean something. You aren't going to have a meaningless one night stand with some guy you barely know. Is this about Jasper? Is he pressuring you, because I will kick his ass if he is," she announced sounding extremely irritated.
"No, it's not that," I said sheepishly. "It's just… Look at him. Obviously he isn't a virgin; he's probably done just about everything. Then there's me, the inexperienced virgin. I'm not saying anything is going to happen, or that he'll pressure me," I said pinching the bridge of my nose.
"You're afraid if things do get that far you'll make a fool of yourself," Alice sympathized with me making me shake my head as I bit my bottom lip. "I'm going to let you know something not even Rose knows," she said shaking her head. "Emmett and I had a thing kind of like you and Jasper do now. He is Edwards's best friend, obviously we had a flirtation thing going on for years," she said watching my face. "You remember that end of the summer bash Edward had this year that I dragged you to?"
"Of course," I told her automatically. That was one party I had a blast at.
"Well, that night Emmett and I had way too much to drink. We were drunk and flirtation doesn't even measure up to what we were doing. So I told him to meet me in my room, and he did. We just talked for a while, and then things got really intense. One minute we were talking, the next minute we were making out, anyway I had no clue what I was doing. Emmett could tell I'd never been in a situation like that; I was fumbling and looking to him for approval. Look I'm not going to give you the dirty details, but it's something that comes naturally," she shrugged her shoulders.
"So what happened?" I questioned. I was honestly curious she'd never told Rose or me any of this.
"It's going to sound cliché, but it was magical," she said with a smile. "After the initial weirdness, he was kind and patient with me. I know everyone thought I lost it a long time ago, but it was my first time, and it obviously wasn't his. It was just like we fit together perfectly. The next morning we just kind of decided we were together," she shrugged her shoulders.
"Point of the story for you, odds are Jasper already knows, And when the time comes, if it does, just go with it. Do what feels right, don't over think it. He'll probably help you," she said with a smile.
"Thank you," I said giving her a hug. Alice smiled linking our arms together.
"By the way, if you ever tell anyone that story I will slaughter you," she said with a light smile tugging at her lips. "Are you staying to watch practice or something?" She questioned while I walked out with her.
"Jasper's just going to take me home since he's going over," I announced with the shrug of my shoulders. Alice gave a slight giggle pointing to the boys on the field.
"He's on skins," she said with a wink. "Shirtless men, this is why cheerleading is so much fun," she said with a smile.
"Don't they get hurt?" I questioned sounding almost horrified.
"Sometimes, but when they play seriously they put on gear. This," she said motioning to them. "Isn't serious. Odds are they're just going to throw the ball around. The first game isn't for weeks," she said shrugging her shoulders.
"Hi boys!" she sing sang with a wink. "We're practicing on the field today. In other words please don't hit us with the balls," she said sitting on the bench with me.
"You cheer?" Jasper asked jogging up to us.
"Me?" I said as Alice and I burst out into laughter. "No, I just didn't want to hang out in the library while I was waiting for you," I said with a smile. "I tried cheering once, and I took out the team," I said with an innocent smile.
"Klutz," he said with a smile. "You should come and play with the big boys," he gave me a playful wink. I wasn't really paying attention to what he was saying.
Jasper was shirtless. The only thing my mind could focus on was the way his chest looked. He had a body that could make any girl drool over; his arms looked like they were a safe place to be in.
He looked like someone who modelled for Abrocombie and Fitch.
"Might want to wipe the drool," Jasper said winking at me drawing me back into reality.
"What?" I said looking up at him with a blush on my cheeks.
"I said, if you don't want to stay I can see if I can leave," he repeated what he was trying to tell me earlier. "I don't want to practice today anyway," he said making me shake my head.
"I'm fine with waiting. Your fun to look at," I said with a wink.
"I'll see if I can leave. You can look all you want," he said running over to the coach and coming back with his bags, and shirt in his hand."Let's get going Swan," he said as Alice got to her feet.
"I'll call you later, there's something I need to talk to you about," she said walking away to the rest of the cheerleaders. There was no mistake that Jessica was giving me the nastiest glare ever, along with her best friend Lauren. By tomorrow the rumour mill was going to be spinning.
"So are you ready to meet the parents?" I asked walking by his side as he pulled his shirt over his head.
"Your parents will love me by the end of the night," Jasper said sounding rather cocky.
"My mom will love you. My dad might shoot you," I said with a dreadful laugh. I really hoped Charlie's gun was somewhere out of sight, He had never been the best person to take home boys to; He hated the fact that I was old enough to be dating. He just wanted me to stay his little girl forever.
"You worry too much," he stated opening the passenger door for me. "Chivalry goes a long way with dads," he announced shutting the door. "As long as we don't get caught making out I think I'll be perfectly fine." I gave a slight eye roll turning on the stereo letting soft music fill the air.
Jasper let one hand rest lightly on mine while he was driving, I loved the fact that we could sit in the silence without it feeling completely awkward. Despite only really knowing Jasper for a couple of days, I felt like I'd already known him a lifetime. Everything was just so simple with the two of us.
"I'm going to give you pointers with my dad," I announced once he pulled into the driveway. "Don't insult my mom's cooking, even if it's really bad. Don't hold my hand or look at me like you're doing now. Just act like you're a friend," I said trying to figure out how to explain it.
"I'm going to let you in on something," Jasper said leaning over to whisper in my ear. Whenever he was this close I could feel my heart start racing as if it were going to jump out of my chest. "I would never insult your mothers cooking, Even if it was burnt or something crazy. I'll hold your hand if I want to because holding hands is something so innocent and pure and sweet that I don't think he'll mind as much as if we were making out. I'll look at you the way I was because you deserve to be looked at like you're the most beautiful girl in the world because you are, Your dad isn't going to hate me Bella," he whispered in a husky voice making himself sound even more sexy, as if it were possible.
"You've just got all sorts of lines for the ladies," I said a bit breathlessly making Jasper give a perfect sounding laugh.
"Only for you," he mumbled lightly kissing my lips, It was nothing more then what you would call a peck, but it was enough to make me want so much more. "You have no clue how hard it was not to kiss you all day," he mumbled before getting out of the car. I'm sure I resembled a cherry by now; I could feel my face burning.
"Here we go," I mumbled before opening the door. "We're here," I announced watching my mother come into view. I heard my dad get up from the chair stalking over to meet us.
"Hello Jasper," my mother cooed, "Nice to see you again. You aren't allergic to any foods are you?" She questioned trying to be polite so she didn't end up killing him. By the look on Charlie's face I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
"I can't eat nuts or seafood," he said automatically.
"You can't eat seafood or you don't like it," Charlie questioned making me wish I could be anywhere else. Right now I'd even take being in my math class.
"I can't eat it," he said shrugging his shoulders. "I'm allergic to most of it," he said very politely as Charlie scoffed.
"What did you and Bells do last night?" My mother questioned shooting a glare at Charlie. "Let's go in the living room," she added as we all walked in the small over crowded living room.
"We got coffee, and then went to a small cafe she said I had to try, the waitress was rude, but other than that the food was great. Then we just walked the streets and talked," he answered her leaving out the bit about us having a heated make out session in his car.
"Did Bella take you to the book store over there? She can lose herself in hours with books," My mom gave a laugh making Jasper smile.
"We didn't have time to go there. You'll have to show it to me next time," he announced to me making me bite my lip.
'If there is a next time, Knowing Charlie, he'll make sure to embarrass me so bad I won't be able to face you ever again,' I thought only giving him a forced smile. Charlie's eyes never stopped glaring at him.
"I'm turning on the game," he said a bit bitterly turning his attention to the TV screen ending whatever discussion my mom and Jasper were having. I cleared my throat to get Jaspers attention.
"You can sit," I announced sitting on the couch, Jasper wasted no time sitting right next to me.
"Bella tells me you're the chief of police," Jasper lied only knowing his job occupation because it was lying there on the coffee table. Charlie slightly looked over at us shaking his head. "My father has lived here for years, maybe you've run into him," Jasper said with a smile.
"Forks is a small town so I probably have once or twice," he announced trying to make his voice sound light and not as rough as I'm sure he wished he could be.
"Where are you from?" Renee piped in. I silently leaned my head back glad that she was intercepting the obviously forced conversation.
"Texas," he answered automatically as I got to my feet.
"Can we go to my room," I just about groaned making my mom give a light giggle.
"No," my dad said immediately glaring at me.
"I'll keep the door open," I said with a sweet smile.
"Go," my mom laughed.
"Come on," I groaned grabbing Jaspers arm pulling him to his feet and up the stairs going into my room.
"Sorry about that. My dad's…" I drifted off shuddering slightly.
"Overprotective," Jasper finished my sentence. "He's only trying to protect you from the male population. Most of us aren't as great as me," Jasper added with a playful wink sitting at the edge of my bed. "Your mom seems nice enough," he told me. I rolled my eyes sitting next to him.
"You're allergic to seafood?" I asked changing the subject off of the sure to be awkward dinner, My parents should get an award for cruel and unusual punishments on their teenage daughter.
"Most of it," he admitted shrugging his shoulders. "I don't like it either though, It's got a weird texture," he said slightly shuddering. "You like to read," he announced making it sound more like a statement. I guess my mom gave away that telling him about the bookstore.
"Like is an understatement," I said being completely honest. "It's a guilty pleasure," I added with a light smile.
I loved reading. You got to visualize your own little world; it was something a movie just couldn't compare to for me.
"What's your favourite book?" He questioned sounding genuinely interested, He didn't sound like he was trying to make conversation, and he sounded like he actually wanted to know something so small that most people wouldn't even bother asking you.
"Withering Heights," I answered with a light smile. "I've read it about a million times."
Jasper gave a smile before we leaned back on the bed; we started talking about nothing and everything. There wasn't a topic that wasn't touched. We went over his life in Texas, how much he was going to miss his mom, but how he knew this would make them both happier.
We talked about his best friends back home, how they were still in communication; He told me he wants me to go to Texas with him if things get serious. He asked me questions that were so small I didn't think they would really matter. They were all silly little things that he said gave him a little more insight on what I was like.
The questions ranged from what my favourite foods, how tall I was, if I'd always blushed so easy, favourite movies to best friends, past relationships.
"Dinner," my mom yelled grabbing our attention. It had felt like only minutes had passed when in reality about an hour had flown by while we were laying there talking, It wasn't only a physical attraction with us anymore, there was something better there now.
"You ready?" I questioned him getting off the bed. Jasper only smiled looking out the door before giving me another light kiss.
"Now I am," he said as we started walking down the stairs, my mom had decided to cook one of her better meals, pasta, salad, and garlic bread. It was awkward like I thought it was going to be, it was filled with forced conversation between my dad and Jasper, and questions from my mom about Texas.
My dad seemed to rush through dinner wanting it to be over as much as I wanted it to be done with.
"I should get going," Jasper said once he was done with dinner looking at the time.
"It was nice for you to come over to dinner Jasper," my mom told him grabbing the plates from the dinner table. "You seem like a nice young boy," she announced as I got to my feet.
"I'm going to walk him out," I told them walking to the door with Jasper. "Told you it was going to be bad," I said with a laugh as Jasper shook his head.
"It wasn't, if I didn't have dinner with you, we wouldn't have talked like we did. I'm glad we had the dinner, and your dad doesn't seem to hate me as much as you thought he would." Jasper leaned in giving me a kiss. I'm sure he knew my mom was sneaking a look out the kitchen window, I just don't think he cared all that much.
"See you tomorrow," he said lightly getting in his car. I loved the way Jaspers lips felt on mine, it always left me wanting just a little more. I'm sure he meant to do that one though.
I walked back in the house watching my mom's eyes follow me as I walked up to my room and threw myself on the bed with one of the biggest smiles known to man. Honestly in that moment I don't think I could have been happier. It was just a kiss, but something about it felt like it could turn into more for the first time since we met.
I felt like maybe I wouldn't have to be his secret girlfriend forever. Maybe one day he'd want to show me off to the world.
"You wanted to talk?" I called Alice like she had told me to. I don't know if she really wanted me to talk to me about something or if she just wanted all the little details from the dinner. With Alice you really just never know.
"How was the dinner?" She asked not sounding like she was really interested.
"Awkward, but Jasper and I got to know more about each other," I said lightly with a smile still tugging at my lips. I heard Alice give a slight groan.
"I'm going to tell you something, and you can't get mad," Alice said sounding like she was just about to break bad news to me before she gave a slight sigh. "Has Jasper told you about Maria?" She asked taking me back slightly.
"Somewhat, it came up as a sore spot so I didn't want to bring her up. How do you know about her?" I could tell Alice wasn't exactly comfortable telling me whatever she was about to say.
"I guess she really changed him, Emmett asked me the other day what was going on with you two, and I told him. Look I guess Jasper told Emmett some pretty messed up things."
"Like what," I asked my smile fading.
"Maria used him and fucked him up big time. I guess he changed in a way that wasn't exactly good. He started sleeping with girls and using them just like Maria did; only he did it in a way that was so much worse. From what Emmett got out of him is that he would act like a complete gentleman up front, and then out of nowhere he would change. He could've moved here to get a fresh start, I just don't want to see you get hurt," Alice told me.
"I wasn't even going to tell you any of this until you came and talked to me today. I realized you actually started falling for him," she said regretfully.
"I have to go," I said swallowing back the lump in my throat; I couldn't help but think he was just using me. It made too much sense, After all this time I knew no one like him could ever want someone like me, no matter how much he claimed he did. Whatever his game was I lost, because I fell for every single line he used. I thought Edward was bad. At least he's upfront about his motives, I was too numb in that moment to actually feel anything, and all I could think about was how I was putty in his hands. It didn't even take him a week to get me under his spell. It took a couple of hours.
Let's face it, I was putty in his hands the moment he talked to me, Alice kept calling my phone, I knew she was worried about me. I wasn't the type of person to just tell people how I was feeling, even if it was my best friend. After a while I got annoyed hearing her ringtone and shut off my phone. I didn't want to talk to anyone, I wanted to lie in bed and cry. That's all that was left to do.
I didn't know his side of the story, but I knew what it sounded like. It sounded like he was just another really good player in the town of Forks.
