Chapter 9: Jasper Knows!
Emmett's POV
I hope Bella and Edward are doing ok. Maybe I should have spent more time with her. But she wanted me to go and I'll get to spend all day tomorrow with her. And Monday too.
"Who knew wallpapering could be so tiring?" Jasper asked me.
"Tell me about it. I hope Bella makes me something amazing to eat. Come say hi?"
"Yeah. I'm sure Edward is over there too," Jasper replied.
We walked into me apartment and it smelled like heaven. Some pesto-y kind of smell. I could get used to this.
"Hey Em! I'm making Mom's pesto. And some garlic bread," she said while she stired some sort of green sauce.
Edward was sitting at the breakfast counter across from where Bella was cooking and grinding pine nuts. Well I'm glad they were getting along at least. Edward was my best friend and I hoped he and Bella could become friends.
"It smells wonderful," I said, giving her a one armed hug.
"Hey Jasper! Are you staying for dinner?" Bella asked him after giving him a quick hug.
"For sure! I don't think even Mom's pesto is as good as this," he said while tasting a bit off of her wooden spoon. He stepped into the living room to call Esme.
"Tired?" Edward asked me as I took a seat next to him.
"Yeah, you know Alice," I said with a smile.
Dinner passed easily and everyone loved Bella's pesto. She packed some up for Edward and Jasper to take home. I was surprised at how well Edward and Bella were getting along. It was almost as if they were flirting with each other. I'd have to keep my eye on that. As much as I loved Edward (like a brother of course), I could not have a kid like that wanting Bella. Girls always fell for his shit and he didn't think twice before breaking their hearts. I knew I was like that too, sometimes, but I couldn't let Bella be hurt like that. Not to mention he was WAY to old for her.
"Do you want to go play on the Wii? Edward has like every game in the world." Jasper asked Bella as Edward and I prepared for a few hours of studying.
They both left and Edward and I actually made some headway on our diagnostic technique homework. We decided to call it a night around 11 PM and headed over to his place to check on the kids.
Jasper's POV
Wow. Bella just confessed that Edward kissed her and they were going to secretly date. She made me promise not to tell anyone and then Edward and Emmett came in. I didn't even have time to process anything.
"Hey! Are you guys going out tonight? It's Saturday night," Bella asked our brothers.
"No. I can't just leave you alone at night," Emmett said.
"Jasper can spend the night."
Emmett gave her and me both a look that could kill.
"We won't drink and turn to drugs and prostitution!" she exclaimed.
"Why are you so eager to have me out of the apartment?"
"I just don't want you to feel like you have to stay in because of me. I'm old enough to stay home alone."
"I know Babybel, I just want to wait a little before I leave you alone for a long time, especially at night."
I was beginning to see exactly how those two worked. They were all they had left. I was again thankful that I still had my parents and had this insane urge to go give my mom a hug.
"We'll go out next weekend! If Bella passes her drivers test, she can take us," my brother said.
We all said goodnight and I went back up to my apartment. As I laid in bed there were a million different thoughts in my head.
If Bella and Edward were dating, they were going to have such a hard time hiding it from everyone. What happens when they get caught? Is Emmett EVER going to be ok with they together? He is so much older that her…
Bella's POV
I wonder if I should have told Jasper or not. I mean, what's done is done, but I really want this to work. I still can't believe that I am dating the hottest guy I've EVER met. I cannot screw this up!
I fell asleep and dreamed about what it would be like for Edward and I to be openly dating.
The next morning I took off before Emmett was awake for my habitual workout. When I came back and showered and dressed, I made breakfast for the both of us and Edward, who was over studying.
"This french toast is AMAZING Bella," Edward practically moaned. The way he said Bella in that sentence made me want to go back into my shower and have a little 'happy time' with myself.
He still hadn't answered my question about his past. But I already kind of knew the answer. I knew how Emmett was and Edward was probably just like him before me. Of course, I just hoped he knew what he was getting into with me. I was willing to do other stuff, but not go all the way. I was saving the actual sex part till I was sure I was going to spend the rest of my life with the guy.
"I'm glad you like it. I remember this was always Emmett's favorite breakfast."
I took a few pieces of french toast for myself and put a big chunk of butter on them. I never put syrup on them because I feel like syrup is so thick and too sweet.
"Are you ready for your test tomorrow? Do you want to go practice some parallel parking?" Emmett asked me.
"Yeah! That would be great."
The rest of the day I just spent driving around with Em and then at night me and Jasper went swimming. I missed Edward like crazy and it hasn't even been a full 24 hours!
Thank you so much for all your support! I know this is a little short but I wanted to get something out to you guys :)
I will update and do a long chapter very soon (Like on monday)
But I am going away for the weekend so I may not have wifi.
PS: If anyone has a youtube please email me and let me know. I would love to check it out!
Review and let me know your thoughts!
Next up is Bellas driver's test... Should she pass or fail and let Edward comfort her?
