As always I own nothing Stephenie Meyer owns all. Please read and review I love hearing from you!

Here we stood looking at each other. I had scared her jumping into her window causing her to scream then turn red. Before she could say anything I told her all about my life before, my time with Maria, my life with the Cullen's. I hid nothing from her laid myself out for her prepared to be crushed. We had sat there in silence ever since.

"What now," she asked looking up at me expectantly.

"I'm not sure; I've never done this before." I said shrugging my shoulders. She only laughs a beautiful sound that I want to hear for the rest of my existence. "Why are you laughing." I asked confused.

"I'm sorry, would you understand if I told you none of what you just said is funny?" she asked looking at me apologetically

"Yes, because I've lived it and know firsthand none of it is funny."

She nodded "I'm sorry,"

"Bella don't apologize you have no reason to, I should apologize, I just don't understand."

"Understand what?"

"How you can listen to that and not feel even a little bit of fear?"

"I don't know, I guess I just understand more. I wasn't really shocked except for at first," she said blushing motioning me to sit down next to her. "Hold still,"

The tips of her fingers gently worked their way across my face momentarily warming my skin. Swiftly yet gently I felt her warm lips touch my cool ones and I was lost, if I forever wanted to hear her laugh I forever wanted to feel her lips on my. Forever is a long time.

"How did it go?" Rose asked when I jumped into my room shortly after.

"Very well I believe. She didn't freak out." I said smiling I was happy for the first time in years,

"So what happens now?"

"I don't know Rose, she intrigues me, and she didn't even feel afraid, of anything." I said in disbelief

"Be smart jasper. Also stop with the smile." She said smiling and leaving the room. For the first time in years I wished I could sleep so I could dream again.

I drove into the drive way of her house as Charlie was leaving he eyed me cautiously and stopped in his tracks.

"Jasper Cullen, right." He said crossing his arms.

"Yes sir, I was just here to pick Bella up, we were going to talk about a project before school."

Disbelief "Really, what class?"

"English sir," he would not believe me and I knew it.

"Fine, she's upstairs. Don't do anything stupid." Charlie said pointing at me. " I do have ways to make sure you two actually made it to school." He said getting into the cruiser and pulling out a little faster than necessary. I began laughing at the attempt to scare me off and walked into the house and sat down in a chair in the kitchen.

"OH!" she said clutching at her heavily beating chest when she rounded the corner into the kitchen.

"Sorry I scared you," I said bowing my head a little.

"It's nothing I just wasn't expecting you." She said smiling brightly.

"I should have warned you also, really Bella I apologies." I said looking up at her.

"Well, I was just going to eat then I was going to leave." She said grabbing cereal from a cabinet.

"I'm driving today," I said smiling she returned my smile brightly.
