Once I was dressed in a blue halter top free flowing skirt dress and blue high heels, I went downstairs to meet Jasper who was wearing a nice pair of jeans, a white and black long sleeve western shirt, and black cowboy boots. I know it seems a little strange but I wanted to see Jasper's face when he saw this dress.
"You look gorgeous darlin'" Jasper said kissing my knuckles, I smiled at him.
"Thank you, you look very handsome yourself." I said smiling at him and kissed his jaw.
"Thank you. Shall we?" he asked holding his arm out, I wrapped my arm around his and walked out the door. Jasper opened the passenger door for me, of his 2007 Blue Chevy Silverado, before running around to the driver side and started the truck.
"So what do you have planned for us tonight?" I asked smiling at the smirk he gave me.
"I am taking you to dinner then out dancing." he said still smirking, I started giggling since I really wanted to go dancing and I loved it.
"Sounds wonderful" I said of course I know there really aren't a lot of selections when picking a restaurant near Forks. We pulled into La Belle an Italian restaurant, I am excited to start dating Jasper.
"So tell me what it was like growing up for you and Bella?" Jasper asked while we were sitting at our table, I looked up from the menu and looked at him before sighing.
"Bella and I didn't have the best childhood. We were 2 years old when Renee took us from dad, Renee never understood why Bella and I have lilac eyes and we never told her. Anyway as we grew up Renee called us freaks of nature, brought strange men home with her, and even tried to hit us but our grandma Marie helped out a lot and put us in a lot of extra classes for the skills. Bella and I started getting jobs when we were 7 years old just to pay the bills since Renee would spend every penny she got as soon as she got it. We never told our grandma but she did buy our clothes." I said stopping just as the waitress came over to take our orders but she stared at Jasper the whole time.
"What can I get for you?" she asked Jasper, I raised an eyebrow at her when she finally looked over at me since Jasper was staring at me.
"I'll just have a water." I said shaking my head at the whore, who was now back to flirting with Jasper.
"I'll also have a water." he said reaching his hand across the table and took my hand. The waitress left to get our drinks before returning with them.
"Have you decided what you and your sister wanted for dinner?" she had the nerve to say I looked at the bitch with a glare.
"She's my date." Jasper sneered making the chic jump back in slight fear.
"I'll have the lasagna with the side salad." I said while still staring at the bitch.
"I'll have the Chicken Marsala" Jasper said then handed the waitress both our menus while looking at me to finish my tale. I started the tale up again when the waitress left.
"When Renee married Phil things got a little better, Renee stopped with the emotional abuse when Phil was around, he never knew any of it until we left. When grandma Marie passed away 2 years ago she left Bella and I her fortune which came to $16 billion each. Grandma left $3 million to Renee which is already gone and made it to where Renee couldn't touch a penny in Bella's or my account. A year before grandma died she sent $4 million to dad so he could remodel his house to make room for Bella and I. When Renee found out about our inheritance she threw an absolute bitch fit, of course Bella and I found it funny. Before we left Bella and I had a few hidden cameras throughout the house, recording everything that happened in the house when Phil wasn't home, then left the tapes in Phil's desk drawer. It shows him how Renee treated us, the housework was done by Bella and I. Bella and I got straight A's, worked everyday, went to extra classes, and cooked." I said taking a drink of my water.
"Damn babe I didn't know your childhood was so bad." Jasper said, rubbing his thump over my knuckle, I smiled at him.
"It wasn't so bad, Bella and I became very close. So tell me about you." I said with a grin, but before he could say anything the waitress returned with our dinner.
"Here you go" she said putting Jasper's food in front of him before me. We watched as she walked away with a sway to her hips, I shook my head.
"I was born in 1844 in Houston Texas and joined the Confederate Army before I turned 17, using my way of persuasion. In the following 2 years, I was promoted to major in the army and became the youngest major in Texas. After evacuating women and children, I rode on my way back to Galveston and met the vampires, Maria, Lucy and Nettie, who had recently lost their respective territories to other covens. Maria knew from my suit that I was in the military and changed me into a vampire in hopes of utilizing my training and experience to create an efficient army. I and other newborns helped Maria reclaim her territory and later claim dominance over others. Nettie and Lucy gained territories of their own, but when they tried to rebel against Maria, I sensed their malevolent emotions and teamed up with Maria to kill them. Maria and I seemingly shared a short romantic relationship but she never got over her deceased mate. When I became a vampire, I gained the ability to feel and manipulate people's emotions which was very useful in controlling the younger newborns. I commanded Maria's newborn army that participated in the Southern vampire wars. Since Maria wouldn't keep vampires after the first year of their transformations, I was responsible for disposing of them, something I felt remorseful of because I could feel their pain when I killed them just as much as I could feel the pain of my human victims. Overtime, the pain and cruelty of such existence depressed me to no end. While in the army, I befriended a newborn named Peter, whom I persuaded Maria to keep because of his advanced combat skills and kindred spirit." Jasper said but stopped when the waitress stopped by to see if we needed anything, of course we shook our heads.
"When Peter ran off with Charlotte, a newborn that they were supposed to kill, I allowed them to escape. After this incident, Maria's feelings for me changed: I could sense how fearful- and somewhat mistrustful - she was toward me, and knew that she would plot a way to destroy me. I began planning how to destroy her first, despite my reluctance to the idea of destroying the one person who mattered to me, but my years in the coven had affected me so deeply that I almost became a savage." he said just before the waitress came back with the check. Once she was gone Jasper continued on with his tale.
"In 1938, Peter came back and told me about the way vampires could coexist up North. I immediately left Maria and her coven to join Peter and Charlotte. However, I did not find peace, since I could still feel the emotions of my human victims, which deeply depressed me. Eventually, I left Charlotte and Peter. I tried to kill less often, but the thirst always grew overwhelming." he said taking a shaky breath and a drink of water, I knew this was hard for him to talk about but I also knew he had to get it out.
"In 1948, I ran into a diner in Philadelphia and met Alice Cullen. At first, I was puzzled by her happy behavior around him, but nevertheless, her joyful emotions impacted him greatly. As it turned out, she had been waiting for me. When she held out her hand, I took it, and felt an unfamiliar emotion for the first time: hope. She also told me about the ability to survive off of animal blood instead of human blood, as well as our future with Carlisle Cullen and his family, she even told me about you. I didn't know such a thing could exist but I followed her. With the help of Alice's 'sight', we searched for the Cullen's, and in the meantime, learned to adjust to 'vegetarianism'. Finally, we located the family in 1950 and quickly joined them. Sometime after that, by Carlisle's suggestion; due to their physical similarities, I changed my surname to that of my adoptive sister Rosalie's, and occasionally poses as her twin. Out of the whole coven, I have the hardest time being around humans, due to my unrestrained upbringing as a young vampire in a violent army environment. I was not taught to control or how to regulate my blood lust, and this imperfection continues throughout the next 50 years, leading me to burden myself with the mentality of feeling weak by not being able to possess the same level of restraint as the rest of my family." he said finishing his tale, I stared at him for a few moments before grabbing his hand and holding it tightly.
"Sweetheart I don't think you were the weakest one in your family, if anything you are the strongest. Your an empath my love, and blood lust is an emotion. Baby you were not only carrying your blood lust but everyone else's too. You are so strong and brave to survive all of those years of torment." I said squeezing his hand a little tighter.
"I have done horrible things Amber, I have killed thousands of humans and vampires. I was Maria's favorite for a while and was given rewards in blood and sex." Jasper said looking ashamed of his self, I stood up, walked around to his side of the table and stood in between his legs holding him tightly to my chest.
"I will never judge you for your past sweetheart. I knew that my mate wouldn't be pure and I don't mind that you were with other women, just means that you will know how to take care of me. I love you Jasper and nothing will ever change that. I know we just met a week ago but it's what I feel. Come on let's get out of here and go have some fun." I said kissing him on the lips and smiled at him, he grinned back at me, kissing me again then grabbed the check. I smiled as Jasper paid the bill then walked with me out of the restaurant. We talked the entire way to the club, Jasper looked more relaxed which made me smile and hold his hand tighter. Once we got to the club we went straight to the dance floor, God gave me you by Blake Shelton had just came on, as we danced Jasper sang in my ear. I smiled as a single tear rolled down my cheek. When the song was over we sat down at a table and lite a cigarette and ordered a beer. We spent the next 4 hours dancing, talking, drinking, and smoking.
"Come on sweetheart it's 11 o'clock and we have school tomorrow." Jasper said as he put out a cigarette, I sighed and nodded before putting out my cigarette.
"Your right babe let's go." I said grabbing his hand that he held out for me. We walked hand in hand to Jasper's truck, he helped me in then we left to go home, we talked and laughed the whole way.
"I had a great time Jasper thank you. Maybe we could do it again sometime?" I asked, Jasper smirked at my teasing.
"Absolutely" he said before pulling me into a passionate kiss, he fisted my hair and wrapped his other hand around my waist. I moaned softly holding him tighter to me.
"Goodnight Amber." he said pulling back, I smiled at him.
"Goodnight Jasper." I whispered, I went to turn around and go into the house but I was spun around, I looked at Jasper who was smiling at me.
"Amber before you go into the house I wanted to ask you if you would be my girlfriend?" Jasper asked as he gently rubbed his hand on my cheek, I nuzzled his hand with a smile.
"I would like that very much." I said with a grin, Jasper's face lit up in a huge smile before he kissed me again then dashed to his truck and left, I giggled shaking my head. I went into the house then to my room, I took care of Bear, then showered before crawling into bed.
I woke the next morning showered, dressed, took care of Bear, before leaving with Bella to eat at the diner for breakfast.
We sat down at our table when we arrived at the diner.
"What can I get for you ladies today?" Lucy the waitress asked, Bella and I looked at her with smiles.
"I'll have a coffee, scrambled eggs, country ham, fried potatoes, and toast." I said smiling as Lucy wrote down what I wanted.
"I'll have a coffee, Eggs Benedict with toast." Bella said, we both handed Lucy our menus.
"So Bella how was your date last night?" I asked after Lucy gave us our coffees then left.
"Oh Amber it was magical; Edward took me to dinner, then on a romantic walk on the beach. He kissed me too. How was yours?" she asked I smiled a little dreamy smile.
"It was amazing; Jasper took me to dinner then dancing, his kiss is so addicting I couldn't stop kissing him." I said giggling as our breakfast arrived, Bella laughed with me.
"I'm thinking about going shopping for a homecoming dress and maybe even buying dresses for all the school dances that way we have plenty to choose from." I said as we started eating, Bella looked to be in thought then nodded.
"That is a good idea, that way we won't have to deal with other girls fighting over a certain dress, we may have to deal with it when we go but at least we could get it all done." Bella said, I smiled nodding.
"We can go today after school, maybe Rose and Alice will join us." I said, she nodded, we finished eating then paid the bill before leaving to get to school on time. When we arrived at school we saw Peter and Charlotte standing with the group. Jasper and Edward walked over to us when they saw us and kissed us passionately.
"What's going on?" I asked once we got to the group.
"Peter and Charlotte decided to go through Senior year of high school before getting remarried and starting a family." Jasper said smiling at Peter, I nodded and grinned. Jasper wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Well Bella and I plan to go to Port Angeles today after school to find our homecoming dress and maybe buy dresses for the rest of the school dances. You ladies are more than welcome to come with us." I said, all the girls smiled and nodded. We headed to our classes as the bell rang. All day we talked about the different dances throughout the year and what kind of dresses we want. When school was over we went to Port Angeles and started our shopping. I found my dress first, it's one shoulder chiffon blue gown.
"Amber I found it." Bella squealed I walked over to her since I was still looking for other dresses.
"It's beautiful Bella, you should get it." I said smiling at her, she giggled placing the dress on a chair she claimed as hers, it is a one shoulder chiffon purple gown we all had our own chairs that held our dresses.
"Oh how beautiful." Alice said, I looked over at her and she was looking at a one shoulder light pink dress.
I smiled as Rose grew excited over finding her homecoming dress, I got a good look at her gown. Jeweled halter red satin gown.
Charlotte looked around trying to figure out what color to go with, she ended up choosing a black spaghetti jeweled straps and jeweled belt.
After choosing our homecoming dresses we continued to walk around finding other dresses for later on.
"Oh god that was so much fun." Charlotte said carrying all her dresses to the car, we all decided to stay with one color for the dances. I choose blue, Bella choose purple, Alice choose pink, Rose choose red, and Charlotte choose black. On the drive back home my cell phone rang.
Hello? I asked since I didn't take my eyes off the road.
Amber I just finished watching the tapes you and Bella left. I have divorced your mother just to give you a heads up. Phil said, I giggled a little.
Phil, Bella and I aren't worried about Renee. We are actually dating now, and the guys would do anything to protect us especially against our own mother. I said while glaring out the windshield.
I believe you. I am moving to Tennessee next week and I will keep you updated until your mother is dealt with. Phil said, we said our goodbyes then hung up.
"Well Phil divorced Renee and Phil believes Renee is going to take her anger out on us." I told Bella who smirked and nodded.
"Should we be ready for a fight?" Charlotte asked, I looked at her and shook my head.
"No not really, Renee isn't supernatural and she can't fight for shit, the worst she'll do is run her mouth and flirt with our mates. Other than that that woman is all talk." I said everyone nodded.
"You might want to warn your mates about her and we'll tell our dad and Elena. I know Renee will try to come between them. Renee still thinks dad is in love with her." Bella said rolling her eyes making me laugh at her with everyone else.
"Carlisle and Esmee wants to meet Charlie and Elena so they invited them over tonight for dinner of cource you girls are always welcomed." Rose said as she hung up the phone, she was talking to Emmett letting him know to warn the guys about Renee.
"I forgot to tell you guys but Mike asked me out on a date and the homecoming dance. Our date is tomorrow night." Alice said, we all looked at her and we could see the excitement on her face.
"Congratulations Alice. You can explain everything to Mike on your date but make sure he knows not to say anything to anyone outside the family." I reminded her, she nodded with a giant smile and started bouncing in her seat. We got to Bella and my house to drop off our dresses before going to the Cullen's house. Bella and I helped the girls with their dresses until their men took over, I walked over to Jasper and sat down on his lap, he wrapped his arms tightly around my waist. I looked at Bella and she was in the same position as I am, Dad is talking to Carlisle, and Elena is talking to Esmee. Our parents looked like they were getting along with the Cullen family. Bella and I spent most of the evening with our men and the other Cullen kids.
