Bella
I think yesterday was the first day I actually realized that I had in fact loved Jasper. I mean who goes to Seattle and gets as upset as I did when some other girl answers his door if I didn't love him. The only problem is that I can only remember it then. That one day not every other day or even now…
"Bells?" Rose called from the front seat.
"Yeah?" I asked turning my head away from the window I'd been staring out of.
"You okay?"
"Oh, yeah. Just thinking."
She gave me a small smile through the rear view mirror before looking back toward the road. Alice had turned in her seat to look at me, but didn't say anything. Leah was also quiet.
We'd left early to head to Port Angeles for our shopping day and I don't think I'd said many words on the drive. Last night we hadn't really talked either so I knew it would be coming sometime today.
We arrived in Port Angeles a little after 9 and went to breakfast first. Over French toast and bacon we just talked about what Alice and Rose had been doing in Seattle with their jobs and things like that.
Once we'd eaten we headed over to the mall. Rose dropped Leah and I off at the entrance. I hopped to a bench until she could run in and get me a wheelchair. When she came out she was riding on a motorized one and I just rolled my eyes. If I didn't run over someone it would be a miracle.
We spent the morning going in and out of stores. I was ecstatic because I didn't have to try shit on. The three of them loved my wheelchair because of the basket on the front which meant they didn't have to carry anything.
Right before lunch we were in one of the many clothing stores. I was waiting by the dressing room while the three of them were trying stuff on.
"How are things with Jasper?" Rose asked over the door.
"Fine. As long as he's told me everything."
"What do you mean?" Alice asked coming out to look at herself in the mirror.
"I mean that if I remember one more thing that is bad and he hasn't told me. This that we have. Whatever it is; is over."
"Seriously?"
"Yes. I have to trust him, but to do that he has to be honest."
"Have you remembered that you love him yet?" Rose asked coming out to join us.
"Yes and no. I mean I know I did now, but that was only yesterday when I remembered the accident. I'm just having a hard time thinking about it because I can't remember any feelings I have for him any other time."
"But it's a start. At least you know that we haven't been feeding you a line of bullshit." Rose said.
"Yeah." I said smiling.
They both went back into the dressing room then. I decided while they were finishing up I was going to go down to the bookstore a few doors down. Before I left we agreed to meet at the food court in twenty minutes.
It didn't take me the full amount of time to find what I wanted, so I went ahead and made my way to get some food. Alice and the others were already there and had my lunch waiting. I could have kissed them.
Even though we'd only eaten breakfast a short time ago we all greedily dug into the Chinese before us.
I had just taken a bite of my Mongolian Beef when out of the blue Rose asked, "What did you say when you found out about joining the Mile High Club?"
Choking on my mouthful I coughed and had to take a drink of my coke before I was able to respond.
"Excuse me?"
"You mean to tell me he hasn't told you that shit?"
"No." I said shaking my head. "Maybe somebody should though."
"Well, you and Jasper kind of had sex on the airplane coming home from Atlanta." Alice said trying to fight a smile.
"You have got to be kidding me? What I gave it up and turned into an exhibitionist?"
"Kind of. You've been caught twice. Well almost twice."
"Shit. By who?"
"Well Emmett walked in to Jasper's room once without knocking and you were kind of sitting on Jasper."
"Fuck." I said feeling my face going red. "You said almost twice though. Did he almost catch us again."
"No, that one was in Forks." Rose said.
"Please tell me it wasn't dad."
"No, but Deputy Mark almost got an eyeful when he found you at the cliff."
"Fuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkk," I groaned burying my head in my hands. "I'm going to kill him. Why did he not tell me this shit?"
"I don't know, but I'm so glad he didn't." Leah said speaking for the first time.
"And why is that?"
"Because the look on your face is so fucking priceless."
"If it helps you were the one that initiated the car one with the deputy." Rose said laughing her ass off I might add.
"It really doesn't, not even a little."
"Bella," Alice said drawing my attention to her. "Is us telling you this going to cause a problem with Jasper? You said if he kept anything else from you it would be over."
That stopped Rose's laughter in it's track and all three were staring at me with a worried expression.
I could have messed with them, but I had bigger fish to do that too so I put their fears to rest. "No. I wish he had, but it's not as bad as the other stuff. I can kind of see after getting to know him better why he didn't and I knew we'd had sex. I just didn't know to what extent. However that doesn't mean I'm not going to give him shit about it when I see him next time."
"Oh, that sounds fun." Leah said grinning.
"Let's just say I want to make him sweat a little and Emmett isn't going to come away unscathed either. I mean he has seen me naked too or I'm assuming so since he caught us."
"He has, but Jasper has seen me naked." Alice said taking a bite of her food.
I cocked my head and raised an eyebrow. It took about a minute before it dawned on her what she had said. I had to laugh when her eyes bugged out of her head.
Before I could say anything she started explaining. Once she was done we were all cracking up. Shaking my head I then explained what I was going to do. They agreed that it would be funny and we finished up our lunch. I decided that I would only mess with Jasper today. I would need to think a little more on Emmett.
After shopping for another couple of hours we piled back in the car and headed home to Forks.

Jasper
The day had gone surprisingly well. The guys and I had gotten a lot accomplished. Emmett and Edward showed up early and they were closely followed by not only Embry and Quil, but Jared and Paul also.
Jacob was glad to see them, so was I. It meant we wouldn't be driving all over they would. Jacob handed the list over to Jared while I handed my credit card over to Paul. We sent them on their way while the rest of us set to work on removing the parts from the frame. Embry and Quil worked in the back. Emmett was helping Jacob in the front. Edward and I were inside.
We didn't talk much just had the radio going. Every now and then someone would ask something, but really we just worked.
Around 1 Paul and Jared returned. They were able to get almost everything on the list. The rest had to be special ordered and would be delivered in a few weeks.
We took a break and ordered a pizza or three for lunch when they got back.
Once lunch was over we all went back to our original task. Jared and Paul split up to help the ones on the outside of the car.
We'd been at it maybe an hour or so when I heard a car pull up. I didn't pay to much attention since I was kneeling under the dash trying to get the steering wheel off.
"JASPER WHITLOCK, GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE NOW," came blaring into the garage startling me and causing me to hit my head on the dash.
Shit, I knew that voice and by the sound of it I had fucked up. Crawling out of the car I was greeted with seven pairs of eyes staring at me, everyone of them holding laughter.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. Walking slowly to the door I could see her and the other three standing in a line. If Bella hadn't been on crutches I'm sure she would have had her hands on her hips like the others.
The guys crowded around behind me.
I heard Emmett's whispered, "What the fuck did you do?"
I shook my head minutely because I really had no clue.
Walking forward a little I stopped just out of reach of her crutches. I gave her a small smile and received a raised eyebrow in return. Not a hint of a smile on any of their faces. Shit.
I opened my mouth to say something, but she held up her good hand and shook her head…shit.
"Do you remember the conversation from yesterday? The one about keeping anything bad from me."
I swallowed hard and nodded. Racking my brain trying to figure out what I had forgotten.
"Would you like a hint?" She asked after a few seconds.
I was already in deep shit so I went ahead and nodded.
"The airplane, Deputy Mark, and Emmett."
Shit, shit, shit.
"Were you planning on telling me anytime soon or what?"
"Honestly, no." I said and heard Emmett's muttered, "stupid."
"Really?" She asked coming forward a little bit.
"Yes, because I didn't think you would want to be reminded of that."
"Why not? Don't think I could handle it?"
"I didn't say that, but did you really want to know that Emmett has seen you naked or that one of your dad's employee's almost caught us in your car. Who by the way did call your dad."
Her eyes got big and she looked over her shoulder. "You didn't tell me that." She whispered. Alice and Rose both shrugged their shoulders.
"Did you remember this or did they tell you?" I asked seeing a way out of the argument.
"Why does it matter?" She asked turning her head back around.
"Because if they told you then that means you didn't remember and you can't use your argument from yesterday."
The quick curve of her lips did not escape my notice as she said, "That doesn't mean any such thing. I said that you needed to tell me everything before I remembered on my own and you said you had."
"How do you know I didn't forget either?"
"So I'm forgettable?"
"What did I tell you the other day?"
"Stop answering my questions with questions."
"But I like my question. What did I tell you?"
She huffed and mumbled her answer out.
"What was that?" I asked
She looked up and narrowed her eyes. For a second I wondered if I had gone to far, but then she repeated it, "That I was the best."
"Exactly so don't ever think that you weren't good enough. As for not telling you I didn't want to embarrass you. Is that so wrong of me?"
"No." She muttered looking down and I saw the other three relax their stances.
"Jasper…" Alice said and I brought my attention to her. "She's not mad. She just wanted to mess with you."
"What?"
"I… I just wanted to have some fun." Bella said and I realized when she didn't look up that she assumed I was upset.
"Bella, look at me."
She raised her head slightly. "I'm not upset."
"Really?"
"Really. I'm okay with you wanting to mess with me because it means you feel comfortable doing it."
She finally gave me that smile that I loved.
Walking closer I leaned forward and whispered by her ear, "Thank you for joining the Mile High Club with me."
When I pulled back she was biting her lower lip. Giving her a smile I turned back toward the garage.
I got about two steps when I heard her whisper, "Your welcome."
I kept walking only to be followed by all the guys and the girls. Bella stopped by the door her mouth hanging open. I had to admit her car looked a lot worse than it did yesterday.
"You okay?" I asked coming back to stand beside her.
"Yeah, just hard to look at."
I slid an arm around her shoulders pulling her into my side.
We stood there and watched our friends cut up around the car. Jared, Paul, Embry, and Quil were staring open mouthed at Rose who was helping Jacob under the hood.
"I want it red," She said out of the blue.
"Candy apple?"
"Ruby."
"I'll take care of it."
"Thank you."
I smiled down at her.
"Hey guys," Jacob called. When we were all looking over at him he said, "Let's have a bonfire tonight."
We all agreed quickly. Since it was getting close to dinner time we decided to go ahead and head out. Rose took the girls back to Bella's house. They were going to change then go to the grocery store for sandwiches, snacks, and drinks. Jacob, Emmett, Edward, and I were going to get cleaned up then head on to the beach. While the other four went to get their girls. They were also going to call Sam and Emily.
An hour later all of us but Bella, Alice, Rose, and Leah were sitting around a bonfire. Somehow the people Bella knew in high school were there also. They were around their own bonfire, so we didn't have to worry about talking to them.
Another thirty minutes had passed before Bella got there. Knowing she wouldn't be able to get across the sand with her crutches I hopped up to go help her. I made it halfway across the sand when I was stopped by a hand on my arm.
"Hey Jasper," The overly made up girl purred.
"Excuse me." I said trying to pull my arm away.
"Wait I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime."
"Are you serious? I'm with Bella."
"Still? I mean it's not like she can….ow, you little bitch." She said turning when Bella smacked her in the side with one of her crutches.
"Back the fuck off Lauren. He's not interested."
"How do you know?"
"Maybe because he just told you he was with me dumbass. Just because I can't fucking remember doesn't mean we aren't still together."
"Whatever bitch. He'll get tired of waiting around and need someone to fall back on."
"You are completely fucking delusional if you think that that person would be you."
"Why not? I'm sure I could give it to him better than you can."
I cracked up at that. Along with everyone else.
"If by give it to him you mean one of those five STD's you have then yeah you can do it better than me."
No one had a chance to move or anything before Lauren slapped her causing Bella's head to turn slightly. Alice and Leah had to grab Rose. I didn't move because I knew Bella would take care of it.
"Did you just fucking slap me?"
"Yeah, what are you going to do about it? Hit me back? Do you even remember how?"
Bella dropped her crutch out from under her good arm and drew back a fist. Letting it fly she connected with the side of Lauren's face sending her to the ground.
Lauren was looking up at all of us staring down at her and holding her cheek.
"I'm only going to tell you this once. Next time you hit on my boyfriend I will take your head off." Bella sneered. "Do you understand me?"
Lauren nodded.
"Good, now take your whore ass off this beach. Nobody wants you here."
She scrambled up quickly and was followed to the parking lot by another girl. Bella watched until they drove away before turning back to me.
I was staring at her in awe as was everyone else.
"What?" She asked me.
"Absolutely nothing." I said smiling. She gave me one in return and I went to help her across the sand.
Emmett grabbed her crutches as I swept her up in my arms.
As we were walking over to the bonfire she said, "I meant it."
Confused about what she was talking about I asked, "What?"
"That even though I can't remember you're still mine."
I didn't even think as I stopped walking and pressed my lips to hers. She didn't pull away, but I didn't deepen nor prolong the kiss.
As I pulled back I finally heard the catcalls from everyone else. I didn't care though my eyes were locked on Bella waiting to see if she was going to punch me too. After what seemed like forever a smile spread across her face. I took that as a good sign. Not saying anything I started back across the sand. Sitting her down I went to help the guys with the things the girls had brought.
They didn't give me too much shit on what happened. All were just happy it had. When I returned to the bonfire I sat beside Bella handing her a beer and a sandwich.
The rest of the night passed with us all laughing. We told stories about growing up and even though we knew each other already we still learned a few new things.
Around 1 in the morning we figured it was time to go home. Alice and Rose were going back to the hotel with Emmett and Edward. We'd all agreed to meet up for breakfast the next morning before they went back to Seattle.
I took Bella home. As we were going up the stairs she asked, "Will you stay?"
"Of course."
While she went into the bathroom to change I sat on the bed to take off my shoes. When she came out we crawled under the covers and faced each other.
Reaching my hand up I brushed a piece of hair off her face; tucking it behind her ear.
"Thank you," I whispered.
"For what?"
"Tonight."
She gave me another smile and slid closer. Wrapping my arms around her I pulled her into a hug. Placing a kiss on her forehead I tucked her head under my chin. As my eyes drifted closed I couldn't help but think that tonight had been the best night I'd had in a long time.
