A/N: Don't own twilight :(
Chapter 10 Family Time
We arrived at home after driving for about an hour. Emmett grabbed the stuff out of the trunk and Jasper helped me out of the car. "You ready for this. Alice is ready to explode with excitement." He said wrapping his arm around my waist. We headed toward the door. Before we had taken more than five steps, Alice through the door open and started to yell.
"Could you guys move any slower?"
Jasper got a wicked grin on his face and looked down at me. Before I knew what was happening, Jasper had swept me up into his arms carrying me bridal style as he ran in the door.
Jasper put me down with huge smile on his face. "Was that really necessary?" I said jabbing Jasper in the chest with my fingers.
"Yes" He said with a huge smile still plastered across his face.
"Well if you moved faster that wouldn't be necessary." Alice chimed in.
"Alice, I'm only human." I said sounding a little annoyed. I brushed past her and headed into the living room. "So what is the family activity we have planned for tonight?" I asked.
"Well Alice thought it would be nice if we had a family movie night. She wanted to make it authentic so she wants us all to put on Pj's and she made you popcorn. She also picked out several different movies for us to watch." Esme said entering the room. "I already called Charlie for you and told him that you were having a sleepover with the girls tonight." She said giving me a smile.
"Thank you Esme." I said returning her smile. Alice than entered the room with Jasper right behind her.
"I bought pj's for both of you while we were out today. They are lying on the bed in Jasper's room. We are changing and meeting back down here in an hour." Alice said. With that she disappeared, probably up to her and Edward's room. Jasper grabbed my hand and headed for the stairs. It amazed me how comfortable I had become with Jasper. I didn't think anything of him holding my hand or putting his arms around me. If fact I think I almost enjoyed it.
We entered the room and saw the pj's Alice was talking about. They were dark blue with stars and moons on them. I noticed that they matched. "Do you want to take a shower first since your staying here tonight?" Jasper asked.
"I think a shower would be a good idea." I said with a smile. I grabbed my pj's and headed for the bathroom. I took a quick shower but made it as hot as possible. I had a long day of shopping and I wanted my muscles to relax. I got out of the shower and brushed my hair and teeth. I put my pj's on and headed back to Jasper's room.
When I entered the room Jasper was still sitting on the bed. He looked over at me and I thought I could hear his breath catch in his throat. I blushed but I don't think you could tell because my checks were still really red from my shower. Jasper stared at me for a few minutes and I just stood in the door way. After what seemed like forever he got up from the bed, grabbed his pj's and headed to take a shower. I wondered what had just happened and made it a note to ask him before we headed back down stairs.
I walked over and decided to read one of Jasper's books while I was waiting for him. I sat in the chair with Pride and Prejudice and started to read. I quickly realized that I was still thinking about what Jasper had done and that I was not going to get any reading done. Why had he stared at me like that? He had want in his eyes but I don't think it was for my blood. Jasper couldn't think of me that way, could he? He was still in love with Alice and I was his little sister. All of the things he did were because he was being a good big brother. It would be weird for anything like that to happen between me and Jasper. Did I even think of Jasper that way? I know that I enjoyed his company and that I didn't know what to do if he wasn't there with me. I didn't know what I felt to be honest.
Before I could decipher what I was feeling for Jasper, he returned from his shower. He just had the pants on that Alice had bought and I could see all of the scars on his arms. My attention was quickly diverted to his muscular chest and arms. I wanted to rub my hands all over his chest. He truly was gorgeous. Suddenly I felt the urge to kiss Jasper. I didn't know what had come over me but I quickly tried to bury the emotion. I know Jasper could tell what I was feeling and I didn't want him to know what I secretly was thinking about.
I looked up at his face finally and saw that he had a huge smile plastered on his face. I knew that I had been busted. "Don't worry about it. It seems that we caught each other tonight." Jasper said. I didn't understand what he meant and then it clicked. He had been thinking the same things when I entered the room after my shower. I smiled shyly and looked away.
"So we should probably head downstairs." He finally said. I was glad because the silence was getting deafening. I followed him out the door and down the stairs. When we got downstairs everyone was already down there. I noticed that all of the couples had matching pj's and I blushed again. Jasper looked over at me with a confused look on his face. When he turned to greet his family he understood why I was blushing. Rose and Emmett were in matching Red Pj's that had little cars on them, Alice and Edward were in green Pj's that had music notes on them and Carlisle and Esme were in matching purple Pj's that were plaid.
We went over and sat on a couch after when said hello to everyone. Esme seemed really excited to spend the night as a family. Rose and Emmett came into the room and Jasper picked me up and placed me on his lap so they could sit next to us. Emmett sat down and pulled Rose onto his lap. While Emmett was joking with Jasper, Rose leaned over to whisper in my ear. "You two look pretty cozy."
I just blushed. I didn't think that anyone else had really noticed. Rose then pulled me off of Jasper's lap. "Let's go get the popcorn and something for you to drink." She said pulling me toward the kitchen.
Rose waited until we were in the kitchen to start the questions. "So you too seem to be getting very close. He is always with you and you seem really antsy when he's not. Are you starting to get feelings for Jasper?" I really hoped that Jasper was not paying attention to our conversation. And if he wasn't, I'm sure he could feel the confusion and embarrassment coming from me and the curiosity coming from Rose.
"I know you can't hear it but he is getting the same line of questions from Emmett and Esme. He's not listening; you can be honest with me."
"Rose, I really don't know the answer to that question. I just noticed how close we have been. If I do have feelings for him, I know that he would never return them. He still loves Alice. Plus he is like my big brother that might make things a little weird if anything happened." I hoped that answer was good enough for her. I really wanted to figure out how I felt before I discussed it with anyone else.
"So what happened earlier?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, after you got out of the shower, Jasper headed for the bathroom and he looked very flustered. Not in a bad way of course." I can't believe that she would even notice let alone mentioned this.
"I don't really know. The only thing that happened was I went back to his room after my shower and he just stared at me like he hadn't seen me in years. It was a little weird. At first I thought something was wrong with me." I really didn't completely know what had happened but Rose didn't need the information I did know. That would mean I had to explain my ogling of him and I knew how she would take that.
"I know you know more. I'll let it go now because we are about to watch the movie but be prepared because I am not done with the conversation." With that she picked up the popcorn and handed me a bottle of water and dragged me back to the living room.
Everyone else was waiting for us with the movie in when we entered. I hoped that none of them had herd the end of our conversation. I had to keep my emotions in check or Jasper would find out about out little talk. Although if Rose was telling the truth and he had gotten the third degree too, I wondered what he had said. I didn't realize that I was still standing in front of the couch until Jasper pulled me back onto his lap.
"Is everything ok?" He whispered into my ear. I didn't trust my voice to answer so I just shook my head yes. He let it go after that. I snuggled down into his chest as the movie started. I was lost in thought and never really watched the movie.
Did I really like as Jasper more than my big brother? I know that I found him attractive but was that all. I felt very comfortable around Jasper and knew that he could understand what I was going through. Was this just a rebound thing? I can't have Edward so in order to hurt him I'll like Jasper. Or did I really think of Jasper in that way. He knew how to make me smile and I loved the feel of his arms wrapped around me. I know he wasn't Edward but the things that made him different were the things that I liked most about Jasper. He was protective of me but not overprotective. I liked that he knew what I was feeling and I didn't have to tell him. I liked that we could goof of and have fun and that he wasn't always telling me that it was too dangerous.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when the movie ended. Everyone was laughing and talking about how good the movie was. "So I have one more. Is Bella asleep yet she is really quiet." Alice asked as she danced over to change the movie.
"No I'm still awake Alice. I think I have another movie in me." I didn't think that I could sleep with everything that was going on in my head. I just hoped that my emotions weren't out of whack.
I looked around at everyone hoping to get my mind off of things. My eyes soon focused on Alice sitting on Edward's lap. I felt a small jolt of pain run through my body at the sight. Jasper's arms automatically tighten there hold on me. I really could get used to being like this with Jasper all the time. I looked up at his face and saw that he was intently watching the movie. I took this time to really look at the features of his face.
His eyes were the same topaz color as Edward's but seemed a lot deeper. They seemed to be more sad and worn like they had seen many things. He had a pointed, well defined noise just like Edward did. I looked at his lips and noticed that they were fuller than Edward's were. I wondered what it would be like to kiss Jasper. Would he be as careful as Edward was or would he have the same stupid boundaries? Since he could feel emotions and change you emotions I wondered if he could show his passion through his emotions while he was kissing you. Jasper then looked down at me and I blushed. I had once again been caught staring at Jasper. He bent his head over and whispered in my ear. "What has you so curious?"
I didn't want to tell him that I wondered what it would be like to kiss him. "I'm just curious as to what's going to happen next in the movie that's all." He stared at me and I could tell that he didn't believe the answer I had given him. I just hoped that he didn't guess the correct answer. I decided for my sanity and for Jasper's that it would be best if I watched the movie.
The next thing I remembered was Jasper picking me up and carrying my upstairs. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." He kissed me on the top of my head and I snuggled further into his chest. He laid me down on the bed and crawled up next to me. I snuggled myself close to him but it wasn't close enough. I don't really know why but I wanted to be as close to him as possible. I snuggled into his chest further and pushed my body up to him as much as I could. It was then that I realized how well our bodies molded together. I placed a kiss on his chest and mumbled my goodnight. It was answered with a goodnight from him and another kiss on my head. The last thing I felt was him barring his head into my hair.
