Chapter 9:
Bella POV:
2 months later:
Jasper and I have been dating for 2 months now. We are pretty much inseparable. Our parents were both very happy for us. Emmett and Lauren have been official dating for a month and a half now. That was really shocking to me. I always watch them interact with each other. Lauren is a bitch like always, but Emmett… I have never seen him act like this before. It almost looks like he is in love with her. He is always happy and smiling. It's kind of weird. I have tried to tell him that Lauren is just using him but she tells him otherwise. I decided I would give him a break. I kept my eye on her for a long time and she never was suspicious.
I turned off the shower and hopped out. It was Thursday. Tomorrow was Friday. I loved Fridays. Jasper and I always had a tradition of having a movie night. My mind went back to Jasper. It seemed he was a little out of it. He assured me it was nothing. Then I thought about my other love problem. Mike Newton. Everyone says he is absolutely in love with me, I thought that was a little over bored. But now I think other wise. Every couple days he would come up to me and ask me out. Every time I told him I had a boyfriend. He would try to convince me that he is the one for me and all this junk. I would tell him sorry and walk off. I absolutely hated that kid.
I walked into my room and looked for an outfit for today. I picked out the usual jeans and shirt. I dried my hair, straightened it, and then pinned my bangs back. I walked down to the kitchen and saw eggs and toast already waiting for me on the table. I looked at the time. I had to meet Jasper at his car in 15 minutes. I was running early today. I sat down and noticed my mom's presence in the room.
"Hey Mom."
I picked up my fork and started at my eggs.
"Hey sweetie, can I talk to you."
Her voice sounded calm so I knew it wasn't anything bad. I looked up at her but kept eating.
"I feel like I haven't spent any time with you. You are always with Jasper. Maybe tonight we could go shopping or something?"
"Yeah Mom, that would be awesome. I feel like I haven't spent anytime with you either," I answered back.
I felt bad for my mom. Emmett and I were always with our boyfriend/girlfriend. I barley saw her.
"Great. So it's settled. Tonight just me and my girl are going to do something together."
"Yup."
2 minutes till I had to meet Jasper.
"So anything going on between you and Jasper? You are using protection right?" I dropped my fork and blushed crimson.
"Mom," I choked out.
I had no idea how to answer that. Jasper and I haven't really thought about sex. I don't think either of us is ready yet. I want my first time to be special. I stood up.
"Have to go. Bye."
I kissed her cheek and ran to the door.
"We will finish this conversation tonight." I heard her yell as I closed the door.
My face was slowly fading from the bright color. I was just approaching the car when Jasper came out of his house. Hopefully he wouldn't notice the blush on my face, but I guess hope wasn't on my side today.
"Hey Bells, did Emmett embarrass you today? What did he do? Should I hit him?" Emmett doesn't get rides with us anymore. He picks up Lauren everyday now. Should I hit him? My caring, violent, boyfriend, ha. I thought to myself. He walked over and kissed my forehead.
"It wasn't Emmett. It was my mom she was very…talkative this morning?" I didn't know how to word it.
He started the car and pulled into the street.
"What did she say?" he asked. The familiar blush crept up my face again. He looked over and saw my red face.
"Oh, you don't have to tell me." He turned his gaze on the road again. I saw curiosity burning in his eyes. I guess we will have to talk about the sex topic sometime.
I sighed and stared at our intertwined hands.
"My mom and I were talking about …" I took a deep breath and said the last part in a rush, "…if we have…had sex." My face looked like a tomato at this point. I felt Jasper tense up next to me and his eyes went wide. He cleared his throat…
"What did you say?" He kept his eyes on the road. The mood turned very, very awkward.
"Well, I was going to be late so I didn't answer."
"Well," he turned to look at me, "do you think you are ready? Do you want to?"
"No, I'm not ready. I want my first time to be special." I kept my answers short.
"Yeah, me to." He agreed. It took a couple seconds until something hit me.
"You haven't had sex before?" I thought he would have. He told me about his past girlfriends. It sounded like he has, but I never asked.
"No, I want my first time to be special too."
We arrived in the parking lot. He parked the car and looked at me.
"Okay."
He smiled, kissed my head again, and then got out. I did the same and met him at the front of the car. He took my hand and we walked into the school. We retrieved my binders and books from my locker, went to his locker, then he dropped me off at my first class. I walked in my class and took my seat by Angela. I never really saw her anymore. I missed her.
"Hey Ang, how are you?" I asked as I took out my homework from the day before.
"I'm good. How are you? How are you and Jasper?" I can always count on her to bring up my relationship status.
"Really, really good," I answered. The teacher walked in and we turned our attention to him.
The rest of the day went on like every other day. By lunch Jasper was back to normal. No trace of the awkward conversation before. After school I told Jasper that my mom wanted to spend time with me. He thought that was a good idea. I told him he could stay with me till my mom got home from work. We turned on the TV. When it went to a commercial, I decided I would start a conversation.
"So… movie marathon tomorrow?" I asked.
He sat silent for a second then something hit him. He gasped and I turned to him. He had shock written all over his face.
"Bella! Tomorrow is prom! I totally forgot! I was going to ask you!" He calmed a little bit, and then continued, "Do you still want to go? You don't have to. I just thought you might."
I started to panic. If I decided to go I still didn't have a dress to wear. Wait, I could do that with my mom tonight. But dancing, I can't dance. I looked over at him and his eyes looked begging. He really wanted to go with me. At that, I caved in.
"Fine," I sighed.
"Yesss. Thank you so much Bells, you will love it." He pressed his lips to mine.
"Well, I better go find something to wear. I will call you later. Love you." He kissed me one more time then headed for the door. I stayed in front of the TV. My mind was racing. I never went to any of the school dances. I always get asked but I always turned them down. Right then, Renee burst through the garage door and into the living room.
"Okay, so I figured out what we can do-"
"Wait mom, Jasper asked me to prom."
"Oh, that's wonderful honey! When is it?" She sat down next to me.
"Tomorrow night." I looked up at her to catch her reaction.
"Oh, well then let's go!" She grabbed my hand and led me to the car.
We headed towards the mall. When we arrived we jumped out. First we went to Deb. We searched and searched but found nothing. All the dresses there were way to short or were neon colors. Next we went to JC Pennies. There were some pretty cute dresses there but I wanted to find a beautiful one. Even though I hated shopping it was still fun with my mom. We ate lunch at the McDonald's in the mall. I was getting frustrated. The last store we went to was Macy's. We looked around and finally I found the perfect dress. The dress was a beautiful shade of red. It was a full length halter dress with a pleated sweetheart neckline. There was beading along the straps and bodice. The back of it was open with criss-crossed straps (A/n: dress on my profile). I tried it on in the dressing room. It fit all my curves and looked beautiful. My mom paid for it. When I saw how much it was I almost fainted. The price was $140 dollars.
"Mom I can find a different dress that's less expensive." I tried to compromise with her.
"Sweetie, you looked beautiful in this dress. I'm buying it." She took the bag from the lady and we left. By the time we got home it was 8:50. I thanked Renee again and walked to my room. I placed the dress in my closet and started my homework. When I finished I put my Pjs on, brushed my teeth, and then hopped in bed. When my head hit the pillow, my mysterious guy filled my dreams. I dreamed about him like every other day. I never figured out who he was. But I always enjoyed them…
"Happy birthday Bella!!" I walked into my house and found a crap load of people yelling happy birthday at me. I totally forgot it was my birthday. I could always count on Alice to not forget and surprise me with a party.
"Thanks guys." I was walking over to my mom when I felt to muscular arms wrap around me. An electric current ran through me.
"Happy Birthday." His velvety voice whispered in my ear. A shiver ran down my spine.
I felt him take something out of his pocket and slid it in my hand.
"What's this?" I asked looking at it. It was a small box with beautiful wrapping around it.
"Your birthday present." I looked up at him.
"I told you not to spend that much. I'm not worth it."
"Bella, you are worth it." He responded.
Before I could argue with him, he placed a finger to my lips.
"Open it."
I sighed and unwrapped the small package. Inside was a blue velvet box. I looked up at him. He gave me the look that said, keep going. I opened the small box and almost fainted. Inside was a silver necklace. It had two hearts on it with a diamond in the middle. I felt tears running down my face. He kissed them away.
"It's beautiful. Will you help me put it on?"
He took the necklace out of the box, turned me around, and then hooked the necklace. I smiled down at it.
"Bella, you are the only person who has ever truly touched my heart. I love you so much .I will make you mine someday." He leaned down to press his lips to mine, tears still running down my face.
I woke up to my dreadful alarm. I felt my eyes still watery from my dream. I got up and got ready for school. When I arrived at school I could feel the excitement for prom tonight. Jasper bid me good- bye and I went into first period. After school, Jasper dropped me off at my house so I had a lot of time to get ready.
