Don't own Twilight


*Jasper's POV*

When we got to the house, Alice was out of the truck and halfway to the house before I even turned the Jeep off. My mom came out of the house and wrapped Alice in her arms. I chuckled and got out then helping Bella out. "This place is huge." She said walking around to the back where Emmett was unloading the back. "Yeah well maybe sometime I'll show you around the grounds." I said grabbing her things. "But for now let's go head upstairs." I said leading the way up to the house. We stopped on the porch and Alice introduced Bella to momma, "Bella this is Maria, Maria this is Bella my best friend." Alice said. "Nice to meet you Bella." momma said pulling Bella into a hug. "Nice to meet you too and thank you for letting me come here." she said hugging momma back. "Any friend of Alice is welcome here." momma said. "Well let's get in the house guys" Alice said walking in with my momma and Bella right behind. Emmett and I went in after them and went to put their stuff up in the room.

When Emmett and I came back down, momma, Bella, and Alice were sitting in the living room talking. "Hey ladies if y'all wanna go to the lake you might wanna go get changed." I said. Bella and Alice nodded getting up. "We can finish talking later Bella." momma said smiling at her. Bella nodded smiling at her before following Alice and I up to the room. When we got there Emmett was already in his swim trunks and a blue wife beater. "I'll wait for you guys out side." he said leaving. "I'm gonna change in the bathroom so y'all have this room to yourselves to change." I said grabbing my trunks and walking out. Emmett was waiting by the bathroom door. "Do you think Alice knows I like her?" he asked. I laughed a little. "I don't know man but I do know that she still looks at you like she did a few years back. She still likes you." I said going into the bathroom to change. "Are you sure? I mean it has been a long time since she and I saw each other." he said through the door. "Yes now can I change in peace?" I asked. I heard his footsteps going downstairs. I sighed and changed quickly. I walked back to my room and knocked. "Are ya decent?" I asked laughing lightly. "Yeah come on in." Alice said. I walked in and looked at them. "Wow" I said throwing my clothes into my hamper. Bella was in a pair of cut off blue jeans and a pink bikini top. Alice was in cut offs and a red bikini top. "Wow yourself." Bella said blushing. I laughed walking over to grab one of my old gym bags that I used when I went to the lake. I went and grabbed four towels and put them in there before looking back at the girls. "Anything y'all need to put in here?" I asked. Alice nodded before coming up to me and putting a bottle of sunscreen in. "Okay anything else?" I asked she shook her head no. "Okay let's head out." I said letting them lead the way down.

We reached the last step and said bye to momma before heading out to the jeep again. "I put the off road straps back in." Emmett said when he saw us coming out of the house. "Okay. Help Alice strap in I'll get Bella." I said opening her door. She climbed in with a little help. I handed her the bag and she put it in between her and Alice. I strapped her in before getting in and strapping in myself. Emmett did the same and once everyone was ready we took off to the lake.

When we reached the lake Bella and Alice were laughing about the ride there. "Here we are." I said getting out and helping Bella. "Wow this place is beautiful." She said grabbing the bag and hopping out. I smiled and started walking toward the water. I heard someone behind me before I saw Bella running toward the water. She had taking her shorts off and was in just a bikini. I looked back and saw that she had handed the bag to Alice. "C'mon Jasper!" Bella called from the edge of the lake. I smiled and started running toward her. I jumped in after Bella had. We came back up laughing. I looked back toward the jeep and saw Alice and Emmett watching us. "Come on guys the water feels great!" I called to them before going over to Bella. "So what do you wanna do now darlin'?" I asked looking into her deep brown beautiful eyes. She smiled at me and before I knew what was going on I was under water. I came up to find Bella swimming away from me. I laughed and went after her.

After chasing her and playing chicken with Emmett and Alice we were all laying on a blanket that I had in the Jeep. Bella had rested her head on my chest and Alice had her's on Emmett's. We were watching the sun set and just talking with each other. Alice was the first that said something. "Jasper you know Bella here has a thing for you right?" she said looking over at us. Bella sat up and berried her face in her hands. "Well I might just have a little thing for her too." I said looking at Alice and smiling. She nodded knowing that I did. Bella peaked through her fingers at me. I smiled at her before standing up. "Come take a walk with me." I said holding my hand out to her. "Please?" I asked. She took her hands down from her face and smiled at me before taking my hand.

We walked toward the lake making sure we were out of earshot from Alice and Emmett. "So you have a thing for me?" She asked not looking at me. I nodded before saying "Yeah I do. I mean when we talked on the computer when you were at Alice's and she went somewhere I guess I kinda fell for the sweet girl. And everything Alice has told me about you, she makes you sound so perfect..." "But I'm not perfect." Bella interrupted me. "No one is. But she made it sound like we have a lot in common." I said looking at her. She looked at me with her big eyes. "How about tomorrow I show you around the grounds. We can ride the horses or the four-wheelers or dirt bikes whatever you want. Just please lets at least try to get to know each other?" I said. She nodded. "Okay." she said smiling at me. "Okay." I said. "Lets get back to them before they start thinking something" I said taking Bella's hand in mine and we started walking back to the blanket.

When we could see the blanket we saw something that should have been disturbing. "Emmett get your tongue out of my little cousins mouth please." I said sitting down. I looked to them and Emmett flipped me off I laughed and looked at Bella still standing and I opened my arms. She smiled and sat down in between my legs and resting her back against my chest. I wrapped my arms around her waist and rested my chin on her shoulder. "So Alice I guess you got your man. Now can you go get a room please" Bella said. Bella looked to them and started laughing. I looked over there and saw that Alice was flipping Bella off. Bella and I looked at each other and smiled. "Okay I'm sure momma has supper waiting so if y'all don't stop Bella and I are gonna leave you." I said. Bella stood and I was right behind her. Alice jumped up and Emmett did too. Bella and I laughed even hard than before. I grabbed the blanket and Emmett grabbed the bag. We put it all in the back of the Jeep. "I'm gonna sit in the back with Alice." Emmett said going around and helping Alice in. I went to help Bella into the front and strap her in. I went to get in and looked back to make sure Emmett was strapped in as well as Alice. I looked to see Bella looking at me. I smiled before starting the Jeep and taking off back to the house.

When we got home momma was smiling at us. "Did you guys have fun?" she asked looking to each of us. "Yeah we had fun momma." I said. "Well good now go get cleaned up supper will be ready shortly." she said going back to cooking. Emmett, Alice, Bella, and myself went up to the room. "Can we use the other bathrooms to take a shower?" Alice asked while we walked up the stairs. "Yeah. I'll show Bella to the one on the second floor." I said as we reached the room. We all grabbed our clothes and went to the different bathrooms.

"Jasper how is this house so big?" Bella asked as we headed to the second floor. "Well when my parents bought this house it was only two stories but when I was fifteen he built the third floor so that I could have my own space and so that my friends could have a room when they come over. When Emmett moved in was when we put the second bathroom in up there. Before the add-on there was only three bathrooms and four bedrooms." I said pointing to my old room. "There is my old room. And that is the bathroom that you'll be in. I'll meet you in there when we're both done." I said. Bella nodded before disappearing into the bathroom. I smiled as I walked down to the other bathroom.

After a short shower I meet Bella in my old room. I walked in and saw her looking around. "This room is so cool." she said looking at me. "I love these books. You like old war books I can tell." I watched her. "I love anything about war. I guess its because my dad is in the military. But I take to the civil war more so than any other war." I said smiling. "Maybe you'll have to educate me on it one day." she said smiling at me. "Okay but for now we need to go down for supper." I said going to grab her hand. We walked down to the kitchen. Before we got there our hands dropped from each other. "Need any help momma?" I asked. "No baby. Your dad helped me but we do have some news." She said. I nodded before I lead Bella over to the table. Alice and Emmett were sitting next to each other. I pulled Bella's chair out for her to sit then I sat beside her. "Bella this is my father, James, Dad this is Bella Alice's friend." I said introducing Bella to my dad. "Nice to meet you Bella. Um. Boys I have some news I'm not really sure how to say this but next week I'm deploying." He said. I looked at Emmett who was looking at me. "Are you boys okay?" he asked. I nodded. "Yeah I'm fine." I said. "Emmett you good?" I asked. He just nodded. "Alright well let's eat. Bella you like chicken I hope." momma said trying to break the ice. "Yeah I love chicken." she said. Dinner went on with just a little tension.

After dinner I went out to the barn. I didn't notice Bella had followed me until I heard her yelling for me to slow down. I stopped and looked at her. Once she caught up to me we started walking side by side in complete silence. When we got to the barn I helped her up the ladder I followed behind her. "This is where I go whenever I need to think." I told her sitting on a bell of hay. "This is better then my thinking place." she said sitting beside me. "What are you thinking?" she asked looking at me. "The last time my dad was deployed he got shot and was lucky he didn't die. Now that he's going back I'm just a little worried is all." I said looking at her. "It will be okay Jasper." she said wrapping an arm around me. We sat there for a little while longer just talking and getting to know each other before heading back in and going to bed for the night. Emmett and I slept on the bunk beds so that the girls could have the better beds. "Night ladies, night Emmett." I said getting comfortable on the bed. "Night Jaz." I heard before I fell into a deep sleep.
