A.N. Okay, so it's been almost a year since I updated this. Oops. Sorry. I warned you, I have no discipline whatsoever. What I do have, is a major writers block. Which is a cracking combination if all you've ever wanted to do is watch movies and eat junk food. Which, admittedly, I often do. But the point is, I've kinda lost track of this story, but I'll try to pick it up again where I left off.
It's a short chapter, but it's more than the nothingness I wrote in the past year.
Jasper's P.O.V.
I couldn't believe Emmett. There was no way Bella was gonna agree to do any of this. While I was shaking my head, Emmett was oozing enthusiasm.
"Dude, I'm telling you, it's gonna work!" Emmett was practically jumping up and down.
"Emmett, have you even stopped to consider that Bella might not go along with your crazy ideas?"
His face fell ever so slightly, but only for a second. "Nah, I'm pretty sure Bella's game for just about anything right now", he said, grinning.
I tried to sense Bella's emotions. They surprised me. I'd suspected she'd still be lusting after Edward, but the feelings she emanated were very different. She was frustrated about something, but also… curious.
While I was still pondering this, Emmett was already bouncing up the stairs again.
I sighed and followed suit. If he was gonna go through with this, I would have to be there for Bella.
Bella's P.O.V.
I could hear them coming back up the stairs while I was still trying to figure out how I felt about Emmett's plan.
"Oh, Beeeeellaaaaa". Emmett's voice sounded pretty creepy when he was trying to sound soothing.
The door cracked open and Emmett's head peeked around the corner.
He grinned when he saw me and made his way over to the bed.
Jasper followed reluctantly.
"Dear, dear Bella, we" – Jasper coughed – "oh, okay, I came up with a plan to help you with the frustration you've been feeling."
I still wasn't sure how I felt about all this, so I just stared at him.
Emmett grinned while he continued. "We want our little sister happy and satisfied."
I blushed furiously at the word 'satisfied' and Jasper let out an exasperated sigh, clearly not agreeing with Emmett's choice of words.
"You see, for Edward, it's all a matter of control. And even though we all know he's got enough of that, he just isn't sure. But his confidence in his control might grow, if you managed to get your feelings under control as well."
"I …" I was going to protest what Emmett had just said, but to be honest, he did have a point. I did get a little crazy around Edward.
Even though I knew what was coming, I still felt weird listening to Emmett saying all these things.
"So, we wanna help you with that. Edward can't be the only guy that turns you on."
He moved a little closer to me.
"We all know that humans are attracted to us vampires. I'm sure you could muster up an interest in more of us than just Edward…"
He moved dangerously close to me and I could feel my heartbeat speed up. I just didn't know whether it was from fear, embarrassment or, I didn't even dare think this, arousal.
Jasper's P.O.V.
I couldn't believe it. Bella might feel confused about her emotions, the one that she seemed to feel most clearly was lust. For Emmett. How did that happen?
I felt the need to intervene. Emmett was testing his boundaries and this just wasn't right. Bella had enough problems with her feelings as it was.
I cleared my throat. "Guys…"
Bella looked up immediately, clearly startled to find someone else still in the room.
"What Emmett is trying to say, is, Bella, that we think it might be best if you worked on controlling your feelings for Edward, and we are willing to help you in any way that might be possible."
Bella stared at me. Emmett whispered into her ear: "And he really means, in any way possible."
