Ok so if you know me you know I love Nickelback and for some reason I always come up with ideas based on their songs... So here is the newest one. If you don't know, I have one for Next Contestant too and a few ideas for more.
So I decided that Jasper POV will just be short clips from the song fic part and Bellas POV will tell you the whole story part. I hope this works and that you guys like it. It will probably only be a few chapters long, Not as long as Always Running that's for sure. Now enjoy.
Now I need to thanks all my girls, KimRathbone, LunarEclipse1, Abbymickey24, and Karebear1965. Love you ladies :P Please go check out all their stories, they're amazing!
Ok So the song part of this is over. We are now on to some fun for both Jasper and Bella. I think this is only going to be a few more chapters. I'm not sure how many I will do.
JPOV
Char called me after her lunch with Bella. She told me I had to come up with something meaningful, and I had to come up with it alone. I thought about it for a whole week before I came up with something. I had to make a ton of calls, and pull a bunch of favors owed to me to pull it off but I finally made it happen. I knew as soon as she saw what I had for her she was going to flip her shit. I wasn't sure how I was going to approach her with it though. I decided to call Peter and see what he thought.
"Jas what's up man?" He asked as he answered his phone.
"Nothing much bro. I figured out what I was going to do for Bella."
"Took you long enough, It's been like three weeks since you asked for help. I thought your head was back up your ass." He was laughing at me.
"No, damn Peter. It took me a week to figure it out and two weeks for me to pull it together and for it to get here." I wasn't going to tell him what it was. I didn't want him to tell her.
"Cool. So what did you do?"
"Not gonna happen Pete. Do you wanna meet for drinks tonight, I do need your help with something though. I would rather talk to you in person though."
"Sure bro. Let's meet in a few hours at Hideout. Say around like 7ish."
"Ok, sounds good I'll see you there. That's the one over on Boren Ave. right?"
"Yup, that's the one. I'll see you soon bro."
"K. bye." I hung up and jumped into the shower. After my shower I got ready to head out. I was still trying to figure out how to give Bella her gift. When I was heading out, Bella was leaving her apartment too.
"Hey Bella." I was ready for her to ignore me.
"Hey Jasper, Going out tonight?" Holy fuck she actually talked to me.
"Yeah I am meeting Peter for a few drinks tonight. We headed to the elevator together and headed out to the garage.
"Oh ya I'm headed to meet Char tonight. We are going over to a place called Contour. She wanted to check it out so I said I would go with her." She smiled at me. We rode down together than as she stepped out I reached out and grabbed her elbow.
"Bella, thank you for not ignoring me today. I am really sorry for how I treated you."
"It's ok, Jasper. Thanks for not giving up on me." She smiled at me and pulled away walking to her car. I walked over to mine and head to meet Peter.
Once I got to the bar I walked in and grab us a table. Peter wasn't here yet so I ordered a beer and waited for him. He walked in about five minutes after I finished my first beer and I was already halfway done with my second.
"Sorry Jas, I had to drop Char and Bella off at some club called Contour, They both wanted to drink so I told them I would drop them off and pick them up." He sat down and the waitress came over. I ordered another beer and Peter just got a Pepsi.
"It's cool. I ran into Bella on my way out and she told me she was going out with Char tonight." The look of shock on his face made me bust out laughing.
"She actually spoke to you. Holy shit."
"Ya I know. Those were my thoughts exactly. We actually had a pleasant conversation. It was nice to not be ignored for once." He smiled at me.
"'I can tell. Now tell me what was so important you wanted to meet me to talk." Just as he said that the waitress show back up with our drinks.
"Ok. So I figured out what to do for Bella. It took me longer than I wanted but I have her gift now. What I wanted to ask you was how do I give it to her. I don't wanna look like an idiot or like I am trying too hard. I really want to get to know her. She seems really cool and from what you and Char have told me we have a lot in common."
"You do. I think you need to just go over to her apartment and tell her your sorry for being a douchebag. Tell her you want to get to know her and be her friend. Tell her you thought see may like the gift you got her. Give it to her and see where it goes. Bella is really forgiving but she has had some bad shit happen to her before she got to Seattle."
"What do you mean bad shit? Peter did someone hurt her?" I was starting to get mad. Who could hurt someone like her.
"I can't tell you want happened. Its not my place. But I will tell you she moved here to start over. She is really sweet and didn't deserve what happened to her. That is why Char and I both told you that you had to grow up before we would let you near her. She is like a sister to me and she is Char's best friend now. Jas, you need to really think about what you want from her. If you want a friend, I'm all for it. If you want to date her, don't fucking hurt her. If you just want to fuck her, stay the fuck away from her or I will kick your ass." I was slightly buzzed by now but even I knew he was dead serious.
"Peter, I want to be her friend. Do I wanna date her, I'd love to. Do I wanna fuck her, sure but that's not all I want. I really wanna get to know her. She seems prefect for me and I really did grow up a lot in the last few months. I haven't dated, and I have not had a single one night stand since she walked into my life. I can't say I won't fuck up cuz this is me we are talking about, but I will do everything in my power to not fuck up, and if I do I will do everything in my power to fix it."
He smiled at me. "Damn Jas, I think this is the first time I have ever seen you truly interested in someone."
We hung out for a few more hours. After another two beers I switched over to Pepsi too. At around 1 am I headed home and Peter went to pick up the girls. I decided on my way home that I would knock on Bella's door when she got home and give her the gift before I wussed out. She got home shortly after 1:30. I heard her come in, then she turned her radio on again. I headed out my door and knocked on hers. She opened the door shocked.
"Jasper, what are you doing here?"
"Um. Bella can we talk for a few minutes please?"
"Sure come on in." I could tell she was buzzed but she wasn't totally drunk, thank god. "Have a seat I will be right out I just wanna change out of these jeans." She had on tight black jeans, a deep purple halter top and Purple pumps. She looked amazing.
"Ok. take you time." She walked out of the room. She came back a few minutes later in a pair of Hello Kitty pajama pants and a tight black tank top. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail. She looked even more amazing.
"So what's up?"
"I wanted to come over and say I'm sorry for the way I acted and I really would like to be friends. I did get you something though. I wanted to make a peace offering." She smiled at me. I handed her the box and she opened it slowly.
"A blank CD. Jasper what is this?"
"Why don't you put it in and see." She got up and went over to her laptop and put the cd in. When she heard it she was confused.
"Jasper. What is this I have never heard this? Wait is that Chad Kroeger? Jasper what is this?" She turned to look at me.
"That my dear Bella is a song called "When We Stand Together." She cut me off before I could say anything else.
"Oh. My. God. This is the single that doesn't come out for another two weeks. How?" She was standing there in shock.
"I called in a few favors and I got a hold of Chad. I told him what happened and I told him how much you love Nickelback. He was more than happy to send me an advanced copy of his single. He would have sent the whole CD but they are still working on it." She ran to me and climbed into my lap. She kissed me with so much passion. I was shocked at first, maybe she drank more than I thought. I pulled away but held her in my lap. I didn't want her to move. "Um. Bella not that I am complaining, but what was that for?"
"No one has ever been that thoughtful, ever. Jasper that was the greatest gift I have ever received. I forgave you weeks ago."
"Bella can I ask one more question?"
"Sure."
"How much did you drink when you were out with Char?" I needed to know if she was drunk.
"I only had two Jack and coke's but I stopped drinking at like 10 cuz Char was getting wasted and I didn't want anything to happen to her so I stayed sober."
"Oh thank god." She giggled. Oops. I guess I said that out loud.
"Why do you ask Jasper?" She was still sitting on my lap and she turned and startled me.
"Just making sure you weren't drunk, and that was why you kissed me. I would not want you to regret anything that was said and I really wanted you to remember this gift tomorrow. I really do want to get to know you and I would really like to be your friend." She frowned and had a cute pout going on.
"You only want to be my friend?" She was still pouting.
"Bella, I want to be so much more than your friend, but I don't want to make any assumptions about what you want. We haven't talked in a long time and I don't know how you feel about everything that has happened." She leaned in and kissed me again. This time I responded and I deepened it. She wrapped her arms around my neck and wound her fingers into the hair at the nape of my neck. She keep kissing me like she couldn't get enough. I wrapped her ponytail around my wrist and thrust my tongue into her mouth. My god she was heavenly. I pulled back and rested my forehead against hers. "Bella I didn't come here for this."
"I know that Jasper. That's why I am not stopping myself. If I thought you came over here for sex I would never have let you in. Jasper did you not think that Char and Peter have told me everything that has been going on. Trust me I can tell how much you have changed. I really like you Jasper. From everything I know we would get along great. You seem like a great guy. I wanna give you a chance but I don't wanna be just friends. If you only wanna be friends that's fine but you need to tell me now before my heart gets involved." Oh god how did I ever find this woman. She was amazing.
"Bella, Darlin' I wanna be so much more than friends. I just don't wanna rush you into anything. I am not the easiest person to be around and I know you have been seeing other guys. I am possessive and protective." Bella bust out laughing.
"Jasper the big guy, Em, he's my brother and the red head is his partner and one of my best friends Edward." WAIT WHAT!
"What?"
"They are gay Jasper. And Related." Damn that's what Peter meant about sticking around to meet them. I really feel like a prick.
"What about the Blonde guy?"
"Carlisle, oh he's married and a bartender at the bar I work at along with his wife, Em and Edward." Oh thank god. I pulled her to me and crashed my lips to hers. She deepened it this time and I went with it. She was grinding into my lap and I could feel her hot core against my growing erection. I pulled away. I needed to stop this. I didn't want it to happen like this.
"Bella, please Darlin' you gotta stop. I don't want it to happen like this. I wanna take my time and cherish and savor you. It's 2:30 am." She went to protest but I put my finger to her lips. "Please baby, I really wanna do this right. For the first time in my life I wanna do something right. Why don't we say goodnight, you get some sleep and I'll take you out tomorrow. We can talk and get to know each other." She smiled at me.
"I think I would like that Jasper." She leaned in and kissed me again. This one wasn't a deep passionate kiss but a cute sweet kiss. She climbed off my lap and smirked as she looked down at my tented pants. I just smiled back at her.
I walked over to the door with her hand in mine. I turned back to her and pulled her into my arms. "Goodnight Bella. Why don't you come knock on my door whenever you get up. I'm sure I'll be up." I kissed her again as I opened the door behind me.
"Ok Jasper, Goodnight." She leaned up and kissed me one more time and I headed across the hall to apartment 209. After I closed the door I pulled my phone out of my pocket to send a quick text
Thank you so much man. She absolutly loved it! You are a lifesaver and she is gonna give me another chance. Anything you need, anything at all, just call. Jasper
A few minutes later I got a response.
No problem man. Glad I could help. Chad
OK guys the story is moving along now. YAY! What do you think? Any ideas about what their date should be.
