I woke up to kisses being placed all over my face. Smiling and savouring the feeling I slowly opened my eyes to look into gold. Well not so gold. "I really like being woken up like this, but Jazz you need to hunt."
"I don't want to leave you." I laughed, did he really think I couldn't look after myself? Silly boy.
"I'm fine Jasper go hunt and I'll be waiting." He nodded and kissed my cheek before running at inhuman pace out the door. The closeness between us in the last few days must have made him become even thirstier. I couldn't stand to see him in pain as much as it killed me to let him leave. I sighed and slowly got out of bed. I stretched all my sore muscles from the night before. The night before. I sighed in contentment as I thought about it.
I walked over into the kitchen remembering we didn't have much food. Note to self: Go grocery shopping. I got out to pieces of multi-grain bread and put them in the toaster, spreading strawberry jam over them when they were ready. I ate slowly to pass the time, Jasper had only been gone for 10 minutes and it normally took and hour or more at least. I had a feeling that this morning could be the longest morning I have ever experienced.
After picking around the last bit of toast I finally put it in my mouth chewing it nice and slowly. Eating only took up another 10 minutes of my time. I couldn't think of anything fun to do without Jasper here, I gave up and rung Alice.
BellaBellaBellaBella
"Alice, Hey."
Why are you calling me? Did I miss something? Is something wrong? Jasper didn't try and eat you did he?
"Depends what sort of eating you are talking about Alice."
Everyone in the lounge room heard that! They're all laughing except for Edward the grumpy shit.
"I'm just bored, Jasper was thirsty and I told him to go. Oh and thanks for the lingerie. It helped me a lot with my er.. dilemma."
You're welcome but I'm annoyed that Jasper ripped it up. That thing cost me a lot.
"You don't miss any details do you?"
Nope! Are you missing home?
"Not yet, but it sucks being here all alone. I'd rather shopping than this."
No way! Bella, feeling like shopping!? Oh my gawsh!
"Shut up Al! I just called to say 'hi'"
Well Hi! Oh and I better go, Rose is getting impatient, she wants to go for a hunt. Love you bye.
And with that the phone made that unholy beeping sound. 25 minutes so far. Yay. Hence the sarcasm. I decided that it was warm enough to go down to the beach and read a book.
After putting on the most covering bathing suit I could find a grabbed a book and towel and headed out the door onto the warm sand. To say it felt good between my toes would be an understatement. I hadn't even gone near non-frozen sand since I lived in Arizona and it felt so much like home.
I was enjoying the sun when two cold arms wrapped around me. I took the open book off my face and looked at Jasper's smiling face. "I didn't mean to wake you love, sorry."
"I didn't mean to fall asleep. It is really nice here though." Jasper smiled and rubbed my cheek.
"Maybe we can get a house here one day. I knew you would like this place." The thought of someone buying a house for me was outrageous. But I knew there was no arguing when it came to money.
"Really? You would do that for me?" I could feel the tears falling down my cheeks. I wiped them away. "I'm such a girl." I said sniffing.
"Baby, I'd by the whole island just to make you happy." I wrapped my arms around Jasper and leant my head into the crook of his neck, sobbing and sniffing. Jasper laughed at my stupid reaction and wound his arms around me.
I don't know how long we were lying there but I wouldn't have noticed if a volcano errupted.
"Bella." My eyes shot open. How many times could I fall asleep in one day? 'mmm?' I mumbled. "C'mon sleeping beauty let's get you to bed." I must have slept there for awhile because everything around me seemed dark. This place was too relaxing for it's own good.
**********
I woke up to sun shining into my eyes. I groaned and pulled a pillow over my head. In a second I felt weightless and was being spun around in a circle, I screamed and thrashed in protest. Jasper chuckled, but kept a firm hold on me, bridal style of course. I glared at his perfect golden eyes. "So I was thinking I'd take you out tonight. What do humans do for fun? Clubbing going to bars? Name it and I'll take you there." I smiled at the thought of dancing with Jasper.
"Clubbing sounds awesome babe." I kissed his awaiting lips and sighed at his marble touch.
"Alright, well I'm sure Alice would have packed something appropriate.." He trailed off eyeing me. I grabbed his face in my hands.
"I'm sure she did." I mumbled.
"Babe, can you let me do something."
"As long as your kissing me.." He kissed my lips and set me down, wandering off into the front room. I followed after him to find him crouching over one of my many suitcases.
"What the fudge brownies are you doing?" I should really swear more...
"Choosing your outfit for tonight."
"Oh mother of god." Jasper smiled and ignored my comment while he scathed thorugh my unpacked bag. This couldn't end well, it would be short, and tight. That's all I knew. I walked into the kitchen to find my breakfast already made. It looked like chocolate chip pancakes and freshly squeezed orange juice. "Thanks babe!" I called as I devoured my food. More like inhaled.
After a absolutely delicious breakfast alone I wandered back into the front room to see Jasper sitting cross-legged in front of the suitcase holding two pieces of material. One in each hand. He had a confused expression on his face and his bottom lip was even pouting out a bit. I laughed at him and he looked up at me quizzically. I sat in front of him and touched his bottom lip with my thumb, trying to put it back in its normal position. It didn't budge. I leant in and kissed Jaspers bottom lip trying to still get it to return to its original place. Jasper slid it back but bit it in response.
"What's got you so sad baby?" Jasper looked in my eyes and sighed.
"I don't know which one." I laughed until my stomach muscles were sore and overused. I couldn't believe he looked so sad just because he didn't know which garment of clothing he wanted me to wear. Silly boy. "Why don't you try them on." I nodded and grabbed the blue dress out of his hand. I went to walk into the other room when Jasper grabbed my wrist, keeping my stance in front of him.
"In front of me." I smiled and started sliding my pyjamas over my head. I noticed that Jasper must have gotten me changed after the beach yesterday. I pulled the dress over my head while Jasper looked me up and down. It was about mid-thigh and skin tight. It was a deep blue and cut low onto my back. It showed a fair bit of cleavage, but not enough that it made me feel self concious.
"You're a bit sun burnt babe." Jasper stated. I was glad that my face was already red that he couldn't see me blushing over changing in front of him. I pressed my finger down on my arm and watched how it went from red to white to red in an instant. I kept doing this, watching the colours when I remembered that Jasper was still in the room, probably thinking I was a lunatic.
I looked up hesitantly and the only emotion I could track on his face was sadness. I frowned at his expression while he held a hand up to let him explain. "What I would do to understand your mind is beyond me." I nodded and laughed a bit.
"I don't even understand my mind sweetie." He chuckled and chucked the second dress at me, This one was a royal red and would probably show more of me than even I would want to see. I shook my head and chucked it back at him, refusing to put it on. Jasper laughed and chucked it back into the suitcase, pulling out another item and throwing it at me.
"Get changed, it's overcast, lets go swimming." I nodded and headed into the bathroom to change into this thing. I walked into the lounge room to find Jasper in his trunks waiting for me. I smiled at the sight of his perfect body, his chiselled abs, his perfect skin. I didn't even realise I was staring, or worshipping until Jasper's cough interrupted me.
"I was having fun!" He laughed at me and threw me over his back walking at human pace out onto the crowded beach. Just what I needed, an audience. Many girls stared at Jasper while I scowled, even noticing a few males look my direction. I kissed Jasper's neck and he let me drop onto the sand.
"Swim, Swim, Swim!" He whined.
"Who are you Emmett?"
"He's definitely rubbing off on me." I groaned internally at the thought.
"Babe, I don't want kids." He laughed and ruffled my hair.
"You swim, I'll be right here waiting kay?" He nodded slowly and walked into the water, throwing glances at me over his shoulder. I shuddered as the wind whipped around me. I watched Jasper swim around like an idiot doing tricks, showing off. I saw two girls approach him and try to flirt, I suddenly felt the need to punch something as I watched one of them touch his arm. I glared his way but he didn't even glance at me, so engrossed in the conversation. I got the courage to stand up and walk into the cold water and over to Jasper.
The two girls stared at me in shock as I wrapped my arms around his neck and jumped up while his hands found there way down to my ass to support my weight. I kissed him with so much passion I wasn't sure if the girls were still there or not. Take that.
I pulled away from Jasper's eager lips and turned around, I caught a glimpse of two retreating girls when I turned back around to glare at Jasper. "What the fuck?"
"We were just talking, Isabella Swan are you jealous?" I glowered at him and jumped from his hold on me.
"You would talk to girls if you were a human Jasper, don't give me that."
"Bella, ever since I've been with you, I have felt more human than even you would." As much as that statement made me smile, I couldn't let him know I was weak with his words.
"I'm going to go get ready for tonight okay?" I reached up and touched his cheek with my palm. I don't know how long we stood like that for until a cold wind whipped around me and I shivered. Jasper picked me up and walked at the fastest human pace possible back to the hut. I turned my head into his body and shut my eyes. I could feel Jasper opening the front door and then wrapping a blanket around me. I hadn't even noticed I had been shivering.
"We can just have a night inside if you want, you're lips are blue. I don't think that's a good thing. I shouldn't have taken you out there on a cold day like this. I'm sorry." I tried to reply but more shivers ran through me, silencing my words. The next thing I knew I was being laid down on the bed with dozens of blankets over me.
********
I squinted my eyes, trying to see through the dark. I had no idea what time it was and I couldn't feel Jasper beside me. I coughed and rolled over searching for him with my hands. I gasped when a cold hand rested on my forehead. "Are you feeling okay love?" I nodded, knowing he could see. I patted the empty spot of the bed beside me and Jasper joined me. I snuggled against his side while he wrapped a arm hesitantly around my waist. "Are you still cold?" I shook my head and Jasper tightened his grip on me.
I found out that it was only about 6am when I woke up alone. I didn't end up getting back to sleep after Jasper started kissing every part of my body in reach.
I sat down on the couch flicking through channels until giving up and settling on a DVD. I chose Wall-E, I hadn't seen it since it was out in cinema's and I loved that little robot. Jasper laughed at my movie selection and I just flipped him off.
"That's not nice Bella."
"You know, I've been thinking. I'm going to marry Wall-E instead. He loves Eve a lot you know."
"No where near as much as I love you darling." I smiled and Jasper joined me on the couch, letting me snuggle up beside him. I was settling into the movie and really getting into it when Jasper's phone started ringing. I gave him a curious glance when he strode out of the room and answered the call.
Five minuted later Jasper walked back into the room, sitting down with me once again. His eyes were fixated on everything except me. "Jasper baby, what's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong love, watch the movie." I watched Jasper's face as he turned his attention to the TV, suddenly interested in it. I could feel something was wrong, but I just couldn't understand what could happen in the short time he was on the phone. I knew it was probably just my imagination, but it looked as if Jasper would be crying if he could.
After staring at him for several minutes I reached out and placed my hand on his cheek trying to soothe him. Jasper looked at me finally and his expression was heart wrenching. I felt like I could curl up in a ball and cry by just looking at him. Jasper noticed my alarm and smoothed his expression so I couldn't see his problems. Jasper knew the key to his emotions were in his eyes. I sighed and decided now would be a good time to talk to him about it.
"Jasper, tell me what's wrong."
"Nothing love, I'm just worried about you. You know, in case you're sick again." I glared at Jasper but didn't beg to differ like normal. He would tell me his problems when he was ready.
I was wrong.
The days went by and Jasper stayed in the same emotionless form. He would answer simple yes or no questions. Or reply with one word answers. I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong. I couldn't even think straight. He doesn't want you. My mind was telling me.
