Chapter 10

Edward's POV

I woke up this morning to a very distinct buzzing of a text message on my phone. I looked at the alarm clock and saw that it was ten minutes before I had actually set my alarm, so I leaned over to grab my phone. I checked my phone and found that I had three new messages, the first one, from Alice:

Wake up! Why didn't you text me last night! You're in trouble mister.

The second from Jasper;

Mornin' Darlin : )

And the third from Bella;

I heard you were back in town, we should make up tonight ; )

I looked at the first two and smiled, the third, I cringed at. Why in the hell would Bella think I was ever going to mess around with her ever again? She fucking cheated on my first of all and second of all... I had Jasper. I looked at Jasper's text again and it made me smile, forgetting all about Bella's moronic request. I looked up from my phone and decided to get dressed. I pulled out all the clothes I would wear today and headed to the bathroom. I stopped near my door and starred at the calendar. The date told me it was the week I had feared the most, exam week. I had no clue how I was going to study for these and actually pass; at this point it felt almost impossible. I hurriedly grabbed my phone and texted Jasper back;

You're still on vacation right?

It took a few minutes but I got a response;

Yeah I am : ) Did you have something in mind?

It was weird how Jasper had already had me figured out and I'd not even known him that long. I texted back a reply right away, after all, I couldn't keep him waiting forever;

Well it depends... How much do you know about Shakespeare, and European History?

I sent the text and went to take a shower and get dressed, figuring it would be a couple minutes before he responded. The second I flung my phone onto my bed, it vibrated.

I'll be there when you get home from school babe ; )

Once again, probably for the sixth time in the last twelve hours my heart did a back flip; all because of a certain Jasper. My Jasper.

I texted back my thanks and he agreed to pick meet me at my school right after it was done. After I put down my phone I quickly grabbed a towel and quickly got in the shower. I woke up a little cold this morning so I turned on the water a little hotter than usual. I knew if Jasper was there that that wouldn't have happened, but I guess I'd have to wait for the weekend to test that theory. I sighed in contentment as I stepped in the shower, jumping back a bit at the initial heat. I grabbed my shampoo and started to massage it into my hair as my mind drifted to Jasper.

With the water and the warmth and the... inappropriate thoughts; it shouldn't have been a surprise, as I looked down to find the arising problem around my midsection. I laughed it off, glad that this hadn't really happened, full force, around Jasper yet.

I finished up quickly as my mind was brought back to the actual task at hand; showering that is. I got out of the shower and dried up as the warm steam stuck to my body, forming tiny droplets of water where ever they were given chance to form. I wrapped a towel around my waist and headed back towards my room.

My room.

I hadn't really thought about it until now, but the fact that I had a room of my own in a house that I wasn't afraid of was more than I could ever ask for; and to think some people took that for granted baffled me. I thought about how much better I was off here and smiled. Once in my room I took a look out my window. I was immensely happy to see that the weather outside was overcast, oddly enough, my favourite. I walked over to my dresser and pulled out a few things to put on, and to my delight, they smelled like Jasper. I don't know what it was about the man's smell that drove me nuts but it clung to me and once again put me in an amazing mood. I packed all my things in my bag and headed off to the kitchen, surprisingly Rose was already up, and making me breakfast. I could honestly get really used to this. I sat down with a smile as Rose and I exchanged good mornings.

"Bagel okay?" She asked.

"For sure." I said with more enthusiasm than needed.

She started to smile, a questioning look in her eyes as I laughed. "What has you in such a good mood?"

"Nothing." I casually lied, because of course a guy with blonde hair that resembled honey wheat, and with blue eyes that threatened to absorb my consciousness into them every time I caught a glance, and lips that looked like they'd been stained with raspb-

"Edward, I swear you're getting weirder and weirder every day." Rose rolled her eyes the same time I did, of course for different reasons, because I wasn't very impressed that she interrupted my mental picture of my greek god.

"Butter?" She asked.

"Sure." I said, still with too much enthusiasm, I'd have to remember to tone that down for when I got to school. I thought about waking up and what put me in this good mood.

Of course. Jasper. I thought that if just a few texts every morning could do that to me then... well then I was in for a long ride. I smiled, thinking I would endure whatever for him.

"Hey! Are you going to eat that?" I had just been, once again brought out from my, I guess I could call them fantasies, and back into the reality of a bagel, buttered and glaring back at me. I decided to defy its glare of evil by taking a bite out of it, just to show it who was boss.

I quickly finished off the evil goblin like thing on my plate and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, after saying thanks to Rose for the demonic bagel of course.

I brushed my teeth and hurried to get the rest of my things, and after that I headed out the door after Rose and I exchanged good-byes.

I walked down the hall of the apartment and quickly made my way to the outside and pulled out my phone to text Alice.

AH! Alice, it went really, really, really good. I'm so happy right now ! : D He's coming over after school!

I put my phone back in my pocket and put my headphones in. I turned on my music and hummed along with the song playing. I walked to school today, going down the street, which was embellished with tree's that accented the neighbourhood with a shimmering green. I loved the outdoors so it was no surprise that this street felt right to me. I looked ahead to see a car approaching as my phone vibrated, causing me to jump, causing all the people in the car to start laughing.

I hung my head down and started to walk faster as I read the new text,

Ah! See I told you! So can we hang soon?

I loved how Alice was, everything about her made me happier. I texted her back and kept texting her all the way to school. We talked about plans in the future considering I had exams coming up next week and Jasper's camping trip this weekend. Oh shit. Could I really do both? I mean, I actually had to pass these exams, and that meant I would probably have to study all weekend... I couldn't tell Jasper that I didn't wanna go camping, because then I'd be lying, but I had to study... Maybe Jasper wouldn't mind postponing it? I mulled this over in my head several times as I walked through the front doors of the school. I walked past the main office of the school, staring down at the floor which was still rather dull. The sixty-plus year old tiles were hard beneath my feet as I looked over the walls which were painted, several times, a dull, shameless, grey. The lighting was too bright today but I guess it was because I had just entered from the overcast from the outside, which in fact, was much nicer than in here. The building was crowded with kids, all around my age, as I tried hopelessly to get to my locker.

"Hey Edward." Bella had just tried her, failed, attempt at a sultry tone.

I had just opened my locker and she was standing off to the side of it, sucking on her finger no less.

"Bella. For the last time, I'm not interested, just fuck off."

She started to bring her lip down and pout. I realized it would be so fucking hot if Jasper did that, but then realized how unattractive it made Bella look. She was dressed in black short shorts, which definitely wouldn't do anything for her in this weather, and a yellow v-neck shirt. Her brown hair looked like she just had sex four times, then gave up trying to do anything with it, but then again, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

"Someone's grumpy today." She made a move to caress my face but I swatted her hand away.

"Bella. Listen. I liked you at one point in time okay? Then you screwed me over and now I just don't care. You can keep living your life with a new guy every weekend but I don't wanna be another one of your statistics, got it?" I said all this with a little more venom then it needed but hey, whatever works. It's not like I had a pair of fangs and a thirst for blood to scare her off with.

She looked at me with her mouth wide open, still very unattractive. "I cannot believe you just said that." She gave a humph and turned to walk away, but before she could she turned back and pressed up against me, pushing me into the wall of lockers behind.

"Are you sure?" She muttered into my ear.

She leaned up on her toes and kissed me on the lips. Right away I knew it felt foreign, wrong even. Not because it was a girl, but because it was Bella. I felt like when she kissed me that it was like kissing another forty guys at least. Bella was known very well around our school for certain things, so she was creatively named as the 'first time naughty crime' last year as well. All virgins who wanted to lose their V-card went in search of her.

"Don't you miss that?" She whispered into my lips.

As soon as she said that I was furious. I would never miss the feeling of being left out in the cold, the feeling of being betrayed, or even the feeling of being thrown away. It made me sick that she really had the nerve to say that. I pushed her off me and wiped my lips with my forearm. I guess the wiping of my lips was a little childish but, I didn't want any part of her near, or on me.

"Bella it's over. I thought I made that pretty clear. I'm tired of dealing with your shit." I closed my locker with a slam and walked away with my books to my first period class.

"You'll change your mind Edward." I heard her call after me.

Fuck that.

X.X.X.X.X.X

I walked into my English class for first period just as the bell rang.

"Please take a seat Mr. Cullen." The teacher chided me.

I sat down, red faced, and put my head down on my desk. The morning announcements played and everyone chatted amongst themselves.

"So Cullen" Tyler said beside me, "How was your weekend?"

I tried to remember everything that happened and then became very conscious of my forearm and the bruise that must be lingering on my face. I covered my arm and caught my reflection in a nearby shining phone that relieved my fear of a bruise.

"Uh, it was okay." I said casually, even though it was in fact one of the most up and down weekends of my life. I was honestly so lucky to have Jasper. He was so – Shit. Edward focus.

"-fucking awesome?" Tyler said confused.

"What?" I said with a deer in the head lights look. I guess he hadn't realized that he just, almost perfectly completed my last broken thought. "I didn't hear you." Now I was embarrassed.

"Class! Attention up here!" Saved by the teacher. Good. I looked back up at the front of the room and focused, or at least tried to focus, on the lesson planned. I looked at the book she instructed everyone to pull out. Hamlet by William Shakespeare, this was something I could get lost in. Before we started reading at the beginning of the year I had a feeling it would be dumb just like Romeo and Juliet, but this was actually good, it actually got better every time we read it.

"Act 3, Scene 1, Line 115 I believe is where we left off, right?" The class silently nodded and she began to read the scene between Hamlet and Ophelia,

Hamlet: I did love you once

Ophelia: Indeed, my Lord, you made me believe so.

Hamlet: You should not have believed me: for virtue cannot / so inoculate our old stock but we shall relish of it: I / loved you not.

Ophelia: I was the more deceived.

My mind wandered off the page and retreated into my thoughts. Ophelia had a point about Hamlet. Well at face value anyways. If you looked past the words you'd realize that Hamlet still loved Ophelia but he tells her he doesn't anyways. But at face value it's like the reverse gender of Bella and I. I fell right into the thought that she actually gave a shit about me but boy was I wrong.

After about another hour and a few scenes later the bell rang signifying a new class. I packed all my things and headed off to biology. We started a lab yesterday that I wasn't there for so I probably got stuck with a random group. I didn't really care, as long as they worked, but it was also frog dissection. I hoped that they had already done it because I wasn't much of a fan of the whole dissection process.

I walked into the biology classroom and the class was already mainly full. The windows were open, on account of the smell, and the groups were already assembling. I went up to the teacher who told me I would be in Mike's group. Great. I let out a sigh and walked over to the table that consisted of me, Mike, and Tara, a newer girl I hadn't really met yet. I looked up just as the bell rang to see Bradley walk over, no fucking way he was in this group too. Fuck.

"Hey Edward." He said shyly.

Why was he being shy? I said a quick hi back and then the tasks were assigned. I was to take careful notes while everyone else picked apart the frog and Tara labelled the parts. We worked pretty well together and no one really said anything else than what pertained to the lab, but I did catch Bradley staring at me a few times. I would probably have to talk to him and apologize later.

X.X.X.X.X.X

Finally. The bell rang signifying that history, my last class for the day, was over. I grabbed my books and rushed out of the class eager to see Jasper. I ran down to my locker, effectively tripping over a few stairs and falling to bruise myself a few times, and grabbed all my things. I closed my locker and spun around to find Bradley standing right in front of me.

"Edward, I'm... I'm sorry." He whispered out. I stood there confused, thinking that I should've been apologizing to him. "That was wrong but... I just thought that maybe..." Bradley was stuttering like he actually had a legitimate speech impediment.

"Bradley, don't worry about it, I just can't okay?" He nodded and walked away but I could tell that this wouldn't be the last time I heard him talk about this.

I walked as fast as I could out of the school and to the road. I walked down the street and put my headphones in, singing as I walked, I mean I couldn't help it, I was just in a great mood. I walked for not even five minutes before I noticed that a blue 1998 ford truck was following me. I stopped and my heart took off.

The truck pulled up beside me, its window already rolled down.

"Nice singing voice." Jasper said smiling.

"Whatever." I said smiling back.

"Get in cowboy." He said laying on his southern drawl. He knew I was basically at his command when he did that but somehow I stopped myself.

"My sister says I'm not supposed to take rides from strangers." I said putting on the most innocent face I could muster.

"I have candy." He suggested.

I leaned into the open window as he came to a complete stop. "Show me." I whispered.

He leaned in closer to me and brushed his lips against mine, but then pulled away. I scrunched up my face and pouted a little. "What the heck?"

"You're going to have to get in if you want more." He shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

I let out a sigh and did as he asked, running around to the passenger side and climbed in.

"How was school?" he asked.

I decided that it would probably be best if he didn't know about Bella or Bradley so I just responded with 'okay' and we kept driving. After driving a little farther it hit me. I'd have to tell Jasper about the camping trip I couldn't go on. I let my face fall into a frown and looked out my window.

"What's wrong?" Jasper asked, clearly concerned.

"I... I don't think I..." I trailed off.

"Edward, you can tell me."

"." I rushed out.

Jasper sat there somewhat dumbfounded. "Why not?" he asked, if anything he seemed confused.

"I have exams next week... and I really have to study... and I... I thought that maybe you could postpone it?" I closed my eyes, waiting for a response.

"Yeah of course, as long as I can help you study." A malicious smile spread onto his face.

What the fuck just happened. I thought for sure he would be upset. He was literally the best boy friend in the world. Wait. He wasn't my boy friend. Fuck. I'm glad I didn't say that out loud.

"What's wrong now?" He asked.

"Nothing." I smiled and he pulled into the parking lot of Rose's apartment. He parked the truck and we got out. I dropped my bag and ran over to wrap my arms around him. I buried my head in his shoulders and as per usual, breathed in.

I loved feeling how warm Jasper always seemed to be and just how he always seemed to actually want to be with me, it was all too surreal. "Thank you." I whispered in his ear.

"For what?" he asked laughing.

"Everything." I smiled as he kissed me lightly on the forehead.

I grabbed my bag and we went inside. Rose wasn't even home when we got in so I pulled out my books right away and we sat down on the living room floor to study. I looked out the window before I pulled my pencil and paper out and saw it had gotten sunny.

"What a pathetic fallacy." I whispered to myself.

"What?" Jasper said, moderately confused.

"Nothing." I said and I smiled.

We looked back down at the books in front of us and I dove into the Hamlet I had in front of me. The teacher had told us that we would have an essay question on it of some sort on our exam so to study it well. I had bought my own Hamlet luckily so I pulled out a highlighter and scanned the book for what I thought were important details.

I got up after a couple minutes to get Jasper and I a drink. I asked him if I could get him anything and he just wanted some water so I went to the fridge to get us some. I got to the kitchen and pulled out two cups and poured in the water. I put some lemon juice in mine and walked back to the living room.

I gave Jasper his and put mine on the floor next to us. I went back to my Hamlet as Jasper drank some of his water.

"Edward! Don't drink your water!" He spit out.

I looked up at him dumbfounded. "Why not?"

"It tastes funny, I don't want you getting sick!"

"Jasper give me that." I laughed. I took a big gulp and realized that he had my lemon water. "That was my water. That's why." I laughed a little more as Jasper sat there confused. "Mine had lemon juice in it." I said as I pushed his rightful glass to him.

"Oh." He said, clearly embarrassed. "I'm sorry."

I leaned across my spread of books and kissed him lightly on the lips. "It was cute, don't worry."

I smiled to myself as I led my eyes back to my Shakespearian play. I continued highlighting through acts one and two, letting out a sigh now and then seeing as it was getting a little boring. I stuck my tongue out occasionally as I got too focused and then realized how silly I must've looked and retracted it. I marked notes down with pencil from time to time in my stack of paper and then realized that Jasper was probably just sitting there for the past hour and a half, doing nothing.

I looked up to see that he was in fact doing something. He was going through my European history class notes and textbook writing out very neat notes on a separate piece of paper. He had already written out about 3 pages of information. I couldn't believe that he was doing this for me. I thought that he was already perfect but obviously this made it clear. I knew he was just making me study notes but it was the fact that he cared enough to actually do it for me. He didn't have to be here, there were a million things he could probably be doing, like being at his parent's summer home on the coast. I bet tanning on the beach was more fun than writing out history notes for your boyfri- Shit! I would have to remember to stop that. Writing out history notes for your friend.

Just then he looked up at me and caught me staring. "What?" He said smiling.

"Could you be any better?" I asked with a sigh.

"What do you mean?"

"Well... you could be at your beach house doing anything, but your here with me... doing stupid stuff." I lowered my head back down to my Hamlet, looking at nothing in particular.

He pulled my chin back up and looked at me in the eyes. His eyes were the colour of a northern blue sky today, clear cerulean and endless. "There's nowhere else I'd rather be. As long as I'm with you I could care less about what I'm doing." He smiled and it not only spread across his face, but also onto mine.

I looked back down to give more undeserved attention to Hamlet and the pickle he was in at the moment.

X.X.X.X.X.X.

I had just finished act three and was beginning act four when I dropped my highlighter.

"It's time for a break." I announced, sitting up. "No more Hamlet today. My brain may explode if I have to read about Hamlet's depression or fake madness anymore."

Jasper laughed and he also got up. "Well what do you wanna do then?" He smiled, his signature smile of divine proportions and I melted a little.

"Whatever you wanna do." I suggested.

He thought for a bit. The face he made while he thought was mesmerizing. The way his blonde hair fell into his eyes was also heavenly.

"We could... no, never mind." He looked down but a trace of a smirk ran across his features.

"We could what?" I said intrigued.

"Wash my truck?" He suggested.

"Where?" I said confused. "Like in a car wash or outside?"

"Well there's this place in town where you can just wash the car yourself. You just pull into a stall and you just wash it, it's all coin operated so you just put money in and the hose starts and same for the soap brushes. It's definitely more fun than a mechanical car wash." He winked. "Plus, one of those things ate one of my windshield wipers, I don't trust em' anymore." He said almost pouting.

"Okay!" I said excited. "Let's go!" I pulled him by his arm and ran to the door. We put our shoes on and were down to the truck within five minutes. We piled in and Jasper started the truck.

After about twenty minutes and three wrong turns we had finally made it to the car wash. Jasper got out and left to get change from the machine and I stayed and pulled down the tail gate. I sat up on it and leaned back on my hands.

Jasper came back a while later with a handful of loonies, smiling.

"Ready?" He asked excited.

"For sure, give me a hose."

The small room we had pulled the truck into was filled with mist from the high pressure hose Jasper was using. We washed the sides, the roof, and all the windows within about five minutes. After wetting the truck we started to use the soap brush to scrub the truck.

To say the least, the truck was really dirty. We scrubbed all the mud out of the underside of the truck and then both grabbed the sponges he brought to scrub the tires. I spent a long time trying to scrub all the dirt off the mud flaps, and finally I found the whole base of the tire clean and I instead, had mud all over me; including my face, arms, and down my legs.

I stood up to face a very clean Jasper, who double over in laughter by how I looked like the new fictitious mud monster. I half scowled at him as he tried to stop himself, smiling as wide as the sky. He slowly walked over to me and wiped the mud off my face with the sleeve of his shirt.

"Thanks." It came out more shyly than I intended but my heart was racing, so what else did I expect?

"No problem." He said smugly, clearly knowing what he was doing to me.

We spent another ten minutes scrubbing the body of the truck while Jasper and I joked back and forth and occasionally, well no, maybe frequently, threw soap at each other. It became something like a military war zone, so by the time the truck was lathered up, Jasper and I were covered in soap, mud, and soaked through with water.

"Do you think we can use the water now?" He said joking.

"Sure." I shrugged my shoulders, lifted the hose and sprayed him through his shirt until he was soaked. "Well you're clean now." I smiled, holding back a laugh.

I walked casually back to the tail gate whistling and took a seat as Jasper finished spraying off the truck. It didn't take him very long until he was back at the tailgate with me, holding two sponges full of soap.

"Make your move cowboy." I said, trying my best to mimic a southern accent.

We stayed in this position for a while before either of us made a move, then before I could react he had already jumped up onto the tailgate, pushed me onto my back, and pinned me to the bed of the truck.

"Good move." I said surprised.

He held up the sponge and pressed it flat against my chest, causing the bubbles to move all around me, falling off the sides of my body. I looked up to see Jasper had almost a halo around his golden hair. The light from the outside shone in directly behind him, giving him the glow of an angel. His muscles were well defined through his shirt, which was now plastered to him as he hovered over top of me. His lips were cherry red, like a candy apple at a carnival. They were so tempting and I wondered silently how long I could hold off before I got to them. He smiled a little as I lied there dumbstruck, and once again his scent confused my senses into thinking I was following Alice down the rabbit hole. The fictional Alice that is.

"Your move now." He said laying on the southern drawl. He pressed the second sponge into me and now I was very much covered, almost head to toe, in a never ending stream of bubbles.

"Hmmm..." I said debating my next move.

I leaned up on my shoulders and whispered in his ear. "Kiss me?"

"Good choice." He whispered back.

He carefully leaned his head my way as his hand found its way to my chest. He kissed below my jaw carefully as his hand moved up my body, causing goose bumps to appear everywhere on my skin. The electricity was back as he then kissed at the corner of my mouth, teasing me in the worst of ways.

"Close your eyes." He whispered into my shoulder.

He slowly left a burning trail of fire from my lower jaw down my neck as he grazed his tongue along me, letting his teeth caress my skin sporadically, making me shiver. The shivers that rocked my body were more than pleasant, forcing my body to let out involuntary moans, only spurring on Jasper further.

He took the hand that was rested on my chest and moved it down to where my shorts sat on my waist. He then slowly, agonizingly so, lifted my wet shirt, that threatened to stay stuck to me, and pulled it up higher. He sluggishly made his way down to my waist so that he could trail his tongue over my belly button and then over my abs. He looked at me as he did it while I squirmed underneath him.

I grabbed a fistful of his hair that was speckled with gold flecks and lifted him up gently towards me, capturing his mouth with mine. I slowly dragged my tongue across his bottom lip then took it into my mouth and sucked on it a little, receiving a groan from Jasper. I smiled into him as he did, breaking our kiss to nip at his ear. I nibbled on his ear a little more but then kissed lightly behind it, causing him to buck his hips into mine, rubbing what was now his hard erection into mine. The friction felt impossibly good. I let my mouth open a little at the feeling as my hips went into sync with his.

I crashed my lips once again with his as soap entered into his hair. I fisted my hand in his hair as he pushed his hips against mine again, both of us moaning at the feeling shared between us. He then lifted his hand up my side making my shirt rise up even more, exposing more of my chest.

"Ja- asper." I moaned into him. This coaxed him into exploring my body more thoroughly with his tongue, and what a magical fucking tongue it was.

My breathing hitched as he started to suck on my nipple, swirling his tongue around it. This was probably the most intense emotion I had felt towards someone ever. I just needed to touch him; a lot. I moaned out his name again as he switched to the other nipple, pinching it slightly between his teeth, all I wanted to do in that moment was worship his body, if I could make him feel even a fraction of this, I'm sure he'd be happy with me.

He left my chest alone and started to focus on my neck. I jumped as he started to suck on my neck, lightly flicking his tongue over it at different times. I felt like I was ready to explode, and then Jasper playfully bit my neck, making me buck into him even harder than before. I had seriously thought I had amnesia. I couldn't even remember where we were anymore. I figured maybe the circus, or a warm bed? Either one sounded logical to me right now. I grabbed Jasper's ass as he continued to assault my neck with his oh so talented tongue and he jumped into me, only breaking his movements for a moment. I could feel him smile against my neck as I pulled him closer to me.

"Jasper you're fucking amazing." I was surprised I even got that out.

He stopped, lifted his body up, and looked right into my eyes. "I thought I told you to close your eyes?"

I did as I was told and just after I did I felt him kiss me on my eyelids.

Left.

Right.

He then kissed me on the forehead, the nose, and finally a slow one in the crook of my neck.

I reached up and grabbed his shirt, blindly pulling him closer to me,

"And I thought I told you to kiss me?" I kissed him roughly on the lips, and this kiss felt more like a desperate need rather than an actual novelty. I poured all my love for him into this kiss, hoping he could feel it, and hopefully he did because he started to kiss back. Sparks flew from the center of my very being, ignited all my nerves, and then pulsed through my lips and onto his. I grabbed onto his back and pulled him tighter.

We broke for air and Jasper rolled off of me, and lay down by my side. It was nice to feel his warm body next to mine. I wrapped my arm around him and rested my head on his chest.

"You're amazing." I whispered lightly to him.

"Even if I am, it doesn't matter, because you mean the world to me."

I sighed in his arms and he held me tighter. I closed my eyes and breathed in. His scent drove me back to where no thoughts resided. A place where I was at peace and completely tranquil, so I relished the moment, knowing it was bound to end soon.

After about five minutes of lying on the bed of the truck, still soapy, we got up and off the truck to finally wash it off. As Jasper washed the bed of the truck with the power hose for the last time, I snuck into a small convenience store on site.

The man behind the counter looked up as I walked in and his eyes widened in shock as I walked up to the front desk, water still dripping from my clothes.

"Can I just get a vanilla air freshener please?" I asked.

"Suuuure." He had dragged out the word like it was the last word he was ever going to say, and clearly he wanted to make it count.

"$1.48 please." I handed the guy the money and left without a receipt.

I walked back into the car wash stall to find a worried Jasper.

"Where were you! You freaked me out, how was I supposed to tell your sister that I lost you?"

"It's okay." I walked over to him and kissed him lightly on the lips, lingering longer than I should have.

"I guess it is okay." He said smiling. "Ready to go?"

I nodded and we got back into the truck. The vehicle literally looked brand new, and as we drove back out into the sun of the day it looked even better than brand new. I pulled out the yellow vanilla tree from its wrapper and placed it around the rear-view mirror.

"Where did you get that?" Jasper asked, for some reason amused.

"In the store when I left you." I smiled.

"How did you know vanilla was my favourite scent though?" He smiled, clearly puzzled.

"Actually I just grabbed my favourite." I sheepishly confessed.

The rest of the ride home was spent by Jasper trying to figure out my favourite movie, cartoon, restaurant, and pasta shape. Eventually he got Scooby-doo, olive garden, and, on most days, angel hair. The movie choice remained a mystery to him and would until a later time.

We pulled into the apartment parking lot and got out. We made our trek again up the stairs and towards Rosalie's and now my, new house.

We stood outside the door and knocked a few times before giving up. I pulled out my gold, faded key, and pushed it into the lock. I rattled it a few times and it eventually opened with a satisfying click. We stepped inside to a dark apartment, after all it was already, somehow, 8:30pm. I walked into the kitchen first to find a note that read:

Edward, Em and I are out on our date night, don't stay up too late, we'll be home by 11.

Love, Rose.

I looked over the note as Jasper read it over my shoulder. I put it down on the table again and turned to address my golden greek god.

"So... what did you wanna do?" I let a smile slip.

"How about... we... watch a movie?" He gave me a look that seemed to say he was waiting for my approval.

"Sure." I smiled, "I only have a few movies though."

"That's okay, I'll just go to the living room, pick out whatever you want."

With that in mind I strolled back to my room at a leisurely pace and searched for my movie of choice. It took me a while before I found it but then there it was, Where the red fern grows. I took it and brought it back to the living room, not letting Jasper see the cover or case.

"Don't peak, it's a surprise." I said sternly. He listened and put his hands over his eyes, while poking his tongue out of his mouth.

I slipped it into the DVD player and walked back to the couch. "You stay here cowboy, and don't move okay?"

He nodded like a cute puppy dog and stayed in place. Sooner or later I would have to admit to this boy that I was falling in love with him. It wasn't fair what he did to me but it was there and I couldn't deny it.

I left him in the living room and went to make microwave popcorn; after all, can you really call it a movie night without popcorn? I put the timer on and walked away from it. I knew that you probably couldn't get cancer from standing in front but I was still a little superstitious I guess. I went to my room in the mean time to grab pajamas. I grabbed a pair and put them on quickly along with a new shirt, then I grabbed a new shirt and pajamas for Jasper. I brought them to him and then went to attend the popcorn. I put it into a bowl and then brought it out to the living room for us. I grabbed pillows off the couch and threw them on the floor. Then I grabbed a rather large blanket that could definitely cover a king size bed, and then some, and threw it down too. I put the popcorn down and then lied down on the ground myself.

"Can I move yet?" Jasper said. He had already changed into the new clothes I gave him.

"Of course, get over here."

He smiled and then crawled in behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist.

I pressed play on the remote and the opening previews started up.

"What are we watching?" Jasper whispered into my ear.

"Just wait." I said. I could feel him smiling behind me. I loved the feeling of being with Jasper, I just seemed to be happier all the time.

I pressed play after telling Jasper to close his eyes again, which he effectively did by burying his head in my shoulder. The movie started and I mouthed the first few lines,

'When I left my office that beautiful spring day, I had no idea what was in store for me. To begin with, everything was too perfect for anything unusual to happen. It was one of those days were a man feels good, feels like speaking to his neighbour, is glad to live in a country like ours, and proud of his government. You know what I mean, one of those days where everything is right and nothing was wrong.'

I had had the lines memorized for as long as I could remember, but now, they seemed to have more meaning. Because today was in fact one of those days where everything was right and nothing was wrong. I had Jasper and so obviously nothing could be wrong. I sat there threw the whole movie and Jasper occasionally asked questions about the dogs or about Billy, and each time I would tell him to wait and see. He would then groan and then kiss my ear, distracting me more and more every time. Then finally near the end just as the climax came, I enjoyed when I could hear, or more or less, feel Jasper's heart beating in a rapid motion as he clung just a little bit tighter to me. I lifted my head at the end of the movie and stretched a little as Jasper let me go. I missed being next to his warm body, it was like a security blanket was being ripped from me, sadly though we got up and cleaned up a little bit.

"So was that your favourite movie Edward?" he asked.

"Maybe." I winked and he groaned in frustration. Instantly I was turned on, and Jasper must've noticed this because he then said,

"Easy there cowboy, maybe I'll come see you tomorrow." He laughed and I tried to clear my head a little.

"Maybe?" I said hopefully.

"Only if you want me to." He said.

"Of course. I always want you."

There was a slight pause and Jasper slowly let his head fall to the ground.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Well... it's just... the camping thing."

"Yeah?"

"Well, if we aren't going this weekend... then I thought that maybe... I could maybe... take you out on a date?"

My heart sank into my chest.

A/N: Cliff hanger, don't know when the next will be up but I'm sure it will be up soon, I can't get Jasper out of my head so I'm sure he'll make his way on to a page in no time ; ) Review please and thanks everyone for reading and staying with me this far : )
