Chapter 3
The next day was another boring day at school, the good thing was that James was still a little miffed from the day before and hadn't hit on me.
But then the day went from okay to bad. I rode with Angela and Ben because after class we were gonna go chill at Angela's house, but as we left the school and walked into the parking lot I got a surprise that put butterflies in my stomach and shocked my heart, stopping me in my tracks.
Jasper was there. And once he saw me he walked straight for me.
He smiled. "Bella, hi."
"Jasper what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to talk to you and Alice wouldn't help so here I am."
"This is Jasper?" Angela asked.
Jasper reached out and introduced himself, shaking hands with her and Ben before turning back to me. "Can we talk?"
"Sure." Did I really have a choice? I could tell him no but what good would that do? It's time to face the music.
I told Angela and Ben I'd see them later and followed Jasper to his truck. He opened the door for me and I climbed in, fastening my seatbelt as he got in. He drove us to the nearest park. We didn't talk on the way but I was highly aware that he was next to me and I wanted nothing more to do than touch him.
He parked and I jumped out of the car and walked to collect my thoughts, not caring if he was keeping up or not.
After a while he reached out and grabbed my hand to stop me. It did and it was shocking, that electric current that flowed from his touch straight to my heart. Damn him.
He looked startled for a second, looking at our hands before focusing back up to my eyes. "Bella what's been going on?"
I pulled my hand away. "What do you mean?"
"We had that great night and then I wake up and you're out the door not wantin' to talk to me."
I sighed and looked down at the ground crossing my arms over my chest. "Yeah, and?"
"What the hell happened?"
My eyes snapped back to his. "Your girlfriend."
"Girlfriend? What girlfriend?"
"Don't play dumb with me."
"Seriously, I'm not playin'. What are you talkin' about?"
"Maria? She texted you that night while we were… you know."
"Maria? How did you know that?"
"When I woke up I heard my phone go off and when I checked, it obviously wasn't mine. She said she missed you and wanted you and I couldn't believe I was so stupid."
"Bella-"
"You had a girlfriend and you slept with me. I just cashed in my v-card to someone I didn't know who didn't give a damn about me-"
"Bella-"
"I thought you were different, not just a cute jock looking to score like every guy in my school-"
"I'm not but-"
"And here you are just working around a different set of girls. Well you know what? Congratulations on popping my cherry Jasper, are you happy? Do you want some kind of award-"
He kissed me cutting off my rant. And it felt good, damn him again. But I wasn't giving in, I was stronger than that. I put my hands against his strong chest and pushed.
"Stop it," I growled out.
"Then listen."
I huffed. "Fine."
"Maria is not my girlfriend. I only want you as my girlfriend. I didn't use you; I wasn't lookin' for a piece of ass. I saw you and I wanted to know you. You're all I can think about and as cliché as this sounds I want to date you."
I laughed. I couldn't help it. "Yeah that's corny."
I didn't know what to answer. Did I want to date him? Hell yeah, but I also wanted to know who this chick is that I might have to deal with. "So who's Maria?"
"A girl I used to date that hasn't gotten over me. But I have gotten over her. So Bella, will you go out with me?"
Butterflies erupted in my stomach at the possibility and at the answer that I was going to inevitably give him. "Yes, I'll date you. Just no repeat of last time."
He smiled, full and bright and it was adorable. "Okay we will take it slow, I promise."
I laughed and rolled my eyes at the sheer stupidity of us. Usually you date first then jump in bed, but us? Hah! "Talk about doing this backwards huh?"
He chuckled as he cupped my cheek and pulled me toward him to kiss me and I let him.
"Oh," he said pulling away. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"Pickin' me," he said as a smug, adorable grin spread across his face. He wasn't just talking about picking him to date, I knew that and it made me feel better about Friday night.
I laughed and pulled him back to me to kiss him again.
On our first date Jasper came over and met Charlie, brave soul. He walked in and I introduced them. Jasper shook my fathers hand and called him sir, which Charlie took a liking to. So after Jasper somehow charmed my father we left leaving a somewhat happier Charlie. I'm sure he didn't like that his only daughter was dating but liked the fact that if she was, she was dating a respectful kid.
We went out to eat, talking about everything that we could think of. Turned out we had a lot of common interests like movies and music. We both liked classic rock like Led Zepplin, Ozzy, Motley Crue and Metallica to the newer rock like Linkin Park, Shinedown and Fuel. Country was the other thing he listened to and honestly, I'd never given it a chance so I couldn't say if I liked it or not. We both liked action movies and superhero movies along with movies that made you think afterward like Inception. We both loved that movie when we saw it over the summer and couldn't wait for the DVD. We each had our individual interests as well. While I enjoyed writing stories, he writes songs. Okay not very different but still, the more I got to know him the more I really liked him.
I felt things for him that I never felt. I get butterflies in my stomach thinking about him and when I'm around him I can't help but smile.
Monday after our date he texted me when school was over asking if he could come over and hang out and that's how it's been since. After school was over he would come to my house and we would do homework or watch a movie. Sometimes he would help me make dinner and we would move around the kitchen, not getting in each others way but helping each other. We could make a complete meal together without stepping on toes. If I needed an ingredient he would already have it for me, we just evolved around each other.
We agreed that we would wait to have sex again until both of us were ready, but sometimes that line was blurry. A couple of times we found ourselves in my room, wrapped in each others arms on the bed. Sometimes we would just hold each other but most times the passion would take over and we would catch ourselves before it went any further.
After dating for a month and a half we went back to the lake house and immediately walking in the memories of that night came. I tried as hard as I could to beat them back with a stick when Jasper slipped his hand in mine and led me to the couch.
I sat down and looked at him, my eyebrows raised.
He chuckled. "It's not what you think, we agreed remember?"
I nodded slowly.
"I'll be right back."
He disappeared down a hallway only to return a few seconds later, with his guitar.
I smiled. "You're gonna play for me?"
He nodded. "As I promised."
He sat down beside me turning slightly so he could look at me. He started messing around with the cords doing the chords from a couple Zeppelin songs to get warmed up.
Then he started a few cords of a familiar song, one of my favorites. It sounded amazing until he started singing, then it was too much for words. His voice was absolutely beautiful; it had a little bit of an edge to it. Southern rocker voice with some rasp which made him sound awesome, and made him even sexier than he already was.
Walking a fine line between wrong and right
And I know...
There is a part of me that I try to hide
But I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight
Running away from the world outside
Now I am calling
Hoping you'll hear me
We all need somebody
To believe in something
And I won't fear this
When I am falling
We all need somebody
That can mend... These broken bones
Caught in the confines of the simple life
And I am...
Holding my head high in the rising tide
And I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight
Running away from the world outside
Now I am calling
Hoping you'll hear me
We all need somebody
To believe in something
And I won't fear this
When I am falling
We all need somebody
That can mend... These broken bones
But Oh
Yeah
I'm not coming home now
I know...
I'm so far away
So far from home
I'm not coming home now
I know...
I'm so far away
I'm so far away
And I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight
Now I am calling
Hoping you'll hear me
We all need somebody
To believe in something
And I won't fear this
When I am falling
We all need somebody
That can mend... These broken bones
And I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight
Running away from the world outside
And I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight
Running away from the world outside
When he finished the song he looked up at me suddenly unsure. I just stared at him.
"So?" he asked.
I looked down trying to figure out what to say before settling back to his gorgeous blue eyes. "That was… amazing."
"Really?"
I nodded. "That's one of my favorite songs. I belt it out all the time in the car or at home."
"You could sing to me sometime."
I laughed. "Yeah I'm not as good of a singer as you."
"Oh come on, please?"
I patted his leg. "Maybe one day I'll sing, but its not today. Can you play something else?"
The look he gave me was like I sprouted antlers from my head. "Can birds fly?" he asked sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes as he started the second song, only it was one I didn't really know only because I don't listen to country that much.
Love doesn't come with a contract
You give me this, I give you that
It's scary business, your heart and soul is on the line
Baby, why else would I be standin' 'round hear so tongue-tied
If I knew what I was doin', I'd be doin' it right now
I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth
Well my words might not be magic, but they cut straight to the truth
So if you need a lover and a friend
Baby I'm in...I'm in
Baby come on in, the water's fine
I'll be right here you take your time
Just let me hold you, and we'll both take that leap of faith
It's like I told you, there's no guarantees when you feel this way
If I knew what I was doin', I'd be doin' it right now
I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth
Well my words might not be magic, but they cut straight to the truth
So if you need a lover and a friend
Baby I'm in...I'm in
Baby I'm in...I'm in
Baby come here next to me, I'll show you how good it can be
I'll breathe each breath you breathe
I can, pour out everything I am
If I knew what I was doin', I'd be doin' it right now
I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth
Well my words might not be magic, but they cut straight to the truth
So if you need a lover and a friend
Yeah
If you need a lover and a friend
Mmm, baby I'm in...I'm in
Baby I'm in...I'm in
Baby come here next to me, I'll show you how good it can be
I'll breathe each breath you breathe
I can, pour out everything I am
Baby come here come next to me, I'll show you how good it can be...
Baby come here next to me, I'll show you how good it can be...
Baby come here...
(LEMON STARTS)
He finished and smiled at me. I leaned forward and kissed him. That passionate fire erupted again but this time the line wasn't just blurred it disappeared entirely I picked up the guitar and set it on the table then lifted the skirt of my dress some to straddle his lap and scooted as close as I could. He growled as he usually did and it thrilled me like it always has. His hands slowly slid up my bare legs, up over my thighs under the dress, lighting a fire as he went and I moaned.
"Damn darlin' we'd better stop."
"I don't want to, do you?"
He shook his head and watched as I bit my lip.
He lifted his hand and wrapped it around the nape of my neck and leaned forward to kiss me, pushing me back to lie on the couch. He lifted up and took his shirt off before leaning back down to kiss me. One hand traveled up my thigh under the skirt and kept going over my hip and behind my ass. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my hands found their place in his curly hair. He lifted me off the couch and carried us down the hall.
He pushed me against the door to his room once he closed it behind us and his bulge felt so good against my center that I moaned again. I started rubbing up against it seeking friction of some sort when he swore and pulled me away from the wall and placed me in the middle of the bed. I unbuttoned his jeans and once they were off he hovered over me, pressing his hips against mine groaning at the contact. When he pulled away again I lifted my hips and he pulled my panties off.
I was so hot that the dress was like it was burning. I pushed him onto his back and straddled his hips. That contact alone almost did me in. I started rubbing against him again through his boxers and he watched as I unzipped the dress and pulled it off, throwing it on the floor. Once it was off his hands went to the clasp of my bra and unhooked it, throwing it with the other clothes.
He lifted up and wrapped his lips around my nipple, earning a very enthusiastic moan from me. He rubbed and pinched the other and I was about to become unglued if we didn't start doing something else soon. I rubbed on his erection hard and he pulled away from my breast to groan.
He rolled me onto my back and returned his attention to my breasts, grinding against me. I was getting so worked up when he suddenly pulled away and I groaned in protest. But a second later he was back, unwrapping the condom.
He slipped out of his boxer briefs and rolled it on before hovering back over me. He kissed down from my neck between my breasts, down my stomach, and over to my hip. He licked his way back up to my ear and took it between his teeth biting down a little as he slipped inside me; the pain from both sides was thrilling and pleasurable.
Once in he started moving, finding his rhythm and I instantly was with him. Already hot I was reaching my climax and fast.
"Wait, stop." I managed to get out.
He stopped moving long enough for me to push him on his back and find him again. I squeezed on top of him and rocked, but I wanted him deeper. I pulled him up with me and the angle gave what I wanted and it felt good. My climax hit right then and his soon followed. We rode it out and I collapsed on top of him. But I still wanted more, and the look he was giving me said he did too.
He rolled me over and lifted my leg and drove in again and it was exhilarating, and the angle made him go deeper. We didn't last long for the next explosion and I was seeing stars. Once we were done and gasping for breath he pulled out of me and kissed me before lying beside me.
"Wow," he breathed.
I nodded.
"That was..."
I nodded again.
After I was able to think coherently I looked over at him and smiled. "I think it's the couch."
He laughed. "I'm very thankful for that couch."
"Me too."
He took off the condom and threw it away and we took a shower together, him washing my hair and I washing his. We walked back into the bedroom and didn't bother getting dressed before climbing into the bed for a nap. He pulled my back close to his chest and we fell asleep.
(LEMON FINISHED)
I woke a couple hours later and felt him kissing my neck.
I moaned a little. "Hi."
"Hi."
I turned over and kissed him. I loved him and as much as I wanted to tell him that I did I just didn't, I wasn't ready and as stupid as it sounded, I wanted him to say it first.
"So my parents are having a barbeque tomorrow. It's the whole family and since we've been datin' for a month and a half now they want to meet you. Rose, Em and Edward will be there. Alice too. Will you come?"
Meeting the family? That's a big step and things have been going great with him and I haven't really talked to Alice a lot since I explained to her and Angela the whole Maria thing, leaving out the minor detail of what happened before I checked his phone by accident. Of course Alice went on this rant of how much of a slut Maria was and reassured me that she is definitely no threat. In fact Jasper didn't really date. He kept mostly to himself and friends. Lucky me.
I nodded. "I would love to meet your parents."
He smiled. "Cool."
Jasper and I spend all the time we can together so it would make sense his parents wanting to meet the person taking up all his time. To say I was nervous didn't even cover it.
The next morning I was stressed out on what to wear, how to do my hair and I they'll even like me. But it wasn't just that I was meeting Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock, I was meeting the Hales, McCarty's, and Mason's too.
Finally I just decided to let my hair go natural waves and picked one of my few sundresses. I had just put on my makeup when Charlie called from downstairs letting me know that Jasper was here. I slipped on my flip flops and walked downstairs. I said bye to Charlie and Jasper and I walked out to his truck
He leaned up against my door and I stood in front of him. He kissed me lightly and pulled away, looking into my eyes and caressing my cheek.
"You ready?"
"As I'll ever be."
"We don't have to go you know."
I laughed. "Yes we do. They have to meet the person who's stealing their son away all this time. Now let's go."
He chuckled and opened the door for me to jump in and mentally ready myself for what's to come.
Review please and thank you
