When I woke up the next morning, Jasper was gone. I pout and sit up glancing at the clock, before doing a stunned double take. Is that Eleven AM? My mouth was open in shock as I stare at the bed spread a soft smile pulling at my lips. I get off the bed and realize that it's Saturday the absolute best day of the week, well, besides Friday.
I've never slept to Eleven before and I feel surprisingly refreshed, briefly wondering if this was what people who sleep daily actually feel like. It's addicting. I smile and slip on a pair of high waisted shorts and a long sleeve red crop top. I slip a brush through my dark auburn hair and slip on a pair of flip flops before leaving. As soon as I'm outside I take off into a full sprint.
I smile as I turn down the Cullen's driveway, not stopping or slowing down. I see Jasper, "Jasper!" He drops the box and spins, catching me immediately. My legs wrap around his waist he hoists me up. I lace my fingers behind his neck and smile at him. My heart racing.
"I ran here." I chirp, proudly and he was watching me with that crooked smile of his.
"Did you now?" He asked, his drawl thick and I grin biting my bottom lip.
"Yes."
"The entire two miles?" He inquired.
"Yes! And I haven't even eaten anything yet." I state, but I was still extremely aware of his hands holding my thighs.
"I'm very proud." He states with a wink and I nod. Moving closer and looking down at him.
"You should be. I don't run for just anyone." I wink at him and he chuckles. He was so cold, but it wasn't uncomfortable. It was . . . nice.
"So what did I interrupt?" I ask staring down at the box.
"Not a damn thing, kitten." He murmurs.
"Speak for yourself!" We both look over at an angry looking Emmett.
"Look, this is cute, seriously, like some movie love scene, but we were in the middle of something." He grumbled and I opened my mouth, but Jasper kissed my jaw, silencing me. His lips were so soft. And cool, did I mention soft? I glance down at him.
"Sorry Emmett." I mumble and he chuckles going back to what he was doing.
"No, Alice I don't want to talk about it!" I heard Bella's voice exclaim as she jogs down the steps and over to her truck. Edward was immediately at the door, but stilled as he stared at me. Giving me a smile, tensely. He walked over to Bella.
"No Edward I don't want to discuss it, it's not happening!" She yelled at him, ooh. I jumped down from Jasper.
"Bella he's your mother's husband I think we should at least send an invitation, I don't understand the big deal." Edward said, gently.
"Frankly Edward, I don't really give a damn."
"Ooh!" I oohed and Bella's steely gaze landed on me.
"You. I'm not in the mood." She snaps and I raise an eyebrow.
"Yes, I know. So does Canada." I state crossing my arms and she scowls.
"Honey, you look like you need to hit something. Might I suggest not hitting your marble fiancé or your truck." She was in a really bad mood.
"You really piss me off." She growled getting close to my face and I give her a cocky smirk.
"Do I now? You know, surprisingly, you aren't the only person to ever say that to me." I state with an mocking nod. Getting her worked up was what I wanted. I learned a long time ago that keeping it all buried inside was not a good thing.
"You think you're better than everyone just because you're quippy don't you?" She snaps and I shrug, another mocking nod.
"Sure, yeah I have my moments." The sting on the left side of my face hurt, a lot more than I thought it would. I however have learned how to stand my ground and the only part of my body that moves is my head. I stare at the ground for a moment, fisting my hands to keep from backhanding her.
I turn to stare at her again, moving closer, she takes a step back. "Feel better?" I ask and her wide eyes search me as she nods quickly.
I turn and walk very fast away from her. Jasper tries to grab me, "Don't." I say leaving the proximity completely. About halfway down the street I heard a honk and turn to see Bella's monstrous truck.
"Need a ride?" She asks and I raise an eyebrow.
"No, get out and walk with me." I state continuing, hearing her disbelieving scoff.
"Get in." She says again and I slowly come to a stop before turning.
"Frankly I'm afraid of being blow up." I state and she blinks, before rolling her eyes.
"I'm just heading back to the Cullen's. Jasper is pissed off and you need to calm him down or I won't ever be able to show my face there again. Besides Esme has food she needs tasted for this wedding." She mutters and I watch her.
"Fine, I'll get in, but let's get some things straight. If you ever need to release some energy I can help, but don't try it with one of the Cullen's, okay?" I say and she nods, shrugging.
"And the last thing, I don't think I'm better than anyone Bella. This is who I am. I'm bitchy and I push people away, it's a defense mechanisms my many therapists have come to the conclusions of. We good?" I ask and she stares at me.
"Yeah, we're good." I get in the car and we drive to the Cullen's. When we get there I see something that shocks the hell out of me. No. Fucking. Way. A wide uncontrollable smile spreads across my lips as I jump out.
"Hey hoe!" I call and Tanya turns her head, it takes her a second before she's squealing and running toward me at full speed, wrapping her arms around my waist and turning me quickly. I giggle as I hold her shoulders. As soon as I'm released, my body spins and I'm engulfed into another blonde's arms.
"Tessie!" She squeals and I laugh.
"Katie!" I squeal back as she pulls back.
"Baby! You get sexier every time I see you. It's unfair!" She announces and I shrug.
"I do what I can, Kate." I state with a nod, holding her arms with Tanya's arms wrapped around my neck, as she giggles next to my ear.
I look over, "Rina!" I pout and she looked as stoic as ever.
"Rina!" I sing again and her lips twitch as she looks off into the woods. I glance at the other two sisters and they wink. I move over to Rina.
"Fine, fine I understand." I state nodding and she smirks at the ground.
I go to brush past her, but she grabs me immediately into a hug and I chuckle. "Oh I missed you too, Tessa." She murmured and I smile, before kissing her cheek.
"It's impossible not to." I state with a shrug and she chuckles.
"Hey I missed you too." Carmen says pulling me in for a hug with Eleazar sighing in relief.
"It's been too long." He states.
"Totally agree with you there, El." I state, nodding. He chuckled and pulled me against him, with one arm around my neck and the other around my back.
"So, how has my favorite family of vampires been?" I ask, staring at a grinning Tanya.
