Chapter 9

The Outcome

I awoke to Jasper gently running his hand along my ribs. I opened my eyes to find him staring at me so intently. His eyes were dark and full of wanting. I reached my lips to his, letting him know that I had awaken. His hand moved to engulf my rear as he deepened the kiss. I let my hands roam across his chest and stomach.

"Are you okay, Ali?" Jasper whispered.

"Prefect." I answered. Jasper then took my hand and gently pulling me from the bed, led me to the bathroom. I noticed dozens of candles lit all around the room. The tub was full of nice warm water and rose petals. When had he had time to do this? Jasper raised me up and set me down in the tub before climbing in behind me. I leaned back against him and we sat snuggled close enjoying the warmth of the water. It did wonders on my sore muscles. Jasper began to massage my neck and shoulders. Once I was like jelly in his hands, he reached over and filled a bath sponge with soap and began washing over my shoulders, back, chest, and stomach. The gentle strokes of the rough sponge along my skin were exhilarating. Jasper slid from behind and lifted my leg beginning his gentle strokes with the sponge once again as he worked his way down to my toes, before lifting the other leg and repeating the process once again.

Once he was sure that every inch of my body had been cleaned, he began to quickly soap himself up. I sat up to take the sponge from him and he handed it to me. I began the same slow and loving strokes along his body as he had done me.

"Jasper you're beautiful." I whispered as I dropped the sponge into the water. Jasper chuckled and kissed me, pulling me up out of the water and onto his lap. He held me close and kissed the top of my head as he ran his hands down the length of my back.

"Do you feel sore?" He asked quietly.

"No." I croaked feeling my body jump with excitement. I could feel that he was ready for another round. Jasper slowly kissed my mouth and then placed several kisses on my neck, before paying extra attention to my breasts. He toyed with them as he gently lifted me and lowered me down onto him, allowing me to engulf him deeper than I ever thought imagined. The water against my belly and his mouth on my breasts made my body super sensitive to touch as I moved to match his strokes. It didn't take long for me to succumb to the mountain of nerves coiling inside me. I gasped his name as I fell against his chest. Jasper held me against him and thrust once more before coming to completion himself.

We stayed in the water, snuggling until we both became chilled. Jasper stepped out and wrapped a towel around his waist before he helped me out and wrapped me in another towel. He led me to the kitchen. He sat me on the counter and we talked as he prepared breakfast for us. Every now and again stealing kisses from one another. When the food was almost ready I hopped of the counter and set the table.

After breakfast we curled up on the couch together and fought over whether to watch the History Channel or a DIY show on sewing. In the end we ended up making out and missing whatever show the TV had eventually landed on.

"So what do you want to do today, Darlin'?" Jasper asked.

"I could stay just like this all day." I told him as I snuggled into his chest.

"Then here we will stay." He said as he wrapped his arms around me. We sat there just holding one another for what felt like hours. We both knew I would need to leave soon so Jasper made gentle, slow love to me on the couch. Afterwards I dressed unwillingly and packed my stuff to go home. Jasper carried everything to the car and kissed me bye. "I'll see you soon." He said as he opened my door and bent to give me one last kiss.

"I'll hold you to that, soldier." I said just before he closed the door behind me. Jasper stood on the sidewalk as he watched me pull out of my parking space and head into the street. The trip back to Forks was the longest and hardest drive of my life. I couldn't shake the feeling of sadness of having to leave Jazzy behind. I just hoped it wouldn't be weeks before I would see him again.

I text him when I got home and walked into my house. My mom was in the kitchen and called out my name. I don't know how she knew, but she always knew which of us had walked into the door. I went to say hello and tell her all about my shopping trip. Well maybe not all of it.

School started back on Monday and I fell back into the scheduled hum drum of everyday life. I missed Jasper. Bella and Rose cheered me up though. I also spent time plotting on how to get Edward to give in and give Bella a chance. My chance came Wednesday when I found out he would be substituting in our first class on Friday. I made sure that I picked out a really nice, sexy outfit for Bella Thursday when I dropped her off at home. I made her promise to wear it the next day. I even showed up early the next morning to do her hair and make-up. She was observant though and on the way to school, I ended up having to tell her my little surprise.

"Promise not to be mad?"

"I can't promise that, Alice until I know what it is." she said as I pulled into the parking lot.

"Well we are going to have a substitute for first period today."

"Okay?"

"Bella our substitute is-"

"Alice! Why are you telling me this now? Your brother is substituting isn't he?"

"Calm down and yes."

"How long have you known?"

"Since Wednesday."

"You have known for two days and you're just now telling me?" She yelled as she stomped out of the car. I didn't think she could safely move that fast. I let her go, knowing she would thank me later and grabbed my books and purse from the car. I sent Jasper a quick text telling him that I loved him and made my way to the classroom.

"Alice is just exuberant, but you can't help but love her." I could hear my brother saying.

"I know. Stupid pixie!" I heard Bella answer back.

"Bella, that is no way to talk about your best friend!" I yelled as I walked in the room. I know she has gotten upset with me, but she has never called me stupid. I sat in my desk and turned to Bella trying to hide the hurt from my face.

"I'm sorry, Ali. I didn't mean it. I swear." She said as she reached over and hugged me. I smiled my forgiveness and claimed I needed to go fix my face, once again leaving Bella and Edward alone. Hopefully they would have some sort of break through and realize they were perfect for each other. Knowing Edward though, it would take more than five minutes alone. Then again, Bella did look super sexy today.

I made my way back to class and sat in my usual seat beside Bella. I noticed she was giving death glares toward Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory. I looked towards the front and saw that Edward kept gazing from student to student. Every time his eyes would pass over Bella, they would flash and his face would fall. He seemed sad. I wonder what happened while I was in the bathroom. I was going to ask, but Bella was too busy trying to mentally harm Jessica and Lauren. I grabbed a piece of paper, wrote a quick note and had to nudge Bella on the shoulder to get her attention.

Stop staring. You look like you're about to twist their heads clean off.

If Lauren bats her eyes at him one more time, I just might.

I don't think he is interested in Jessica or Lauren.

Do you think those two could be any more obvious? Jessica just undid the top buttons on her shirt.

Don't worry you look way better than they do. I made sure of it ;)

Bella took the note once again and after a couple of seconds began to scribble something down. As she went to pass the note back to me, my darling brother had to be an asshole and grab the note from her. I hadn't even realized he had walked back to our desks.

"I called class to order. I will see you after the bell rings Miss …"

"Swan." I chimed.

"Swan, for passing notes." Edward finished. The rest of the class giggled but soon quieted as Edward once again called for attention. He walked to the front of the room and dropped the note on the desk after reading it before resuming on with the lesson. I noticed out of the corner of my eye, that Bella never once stopped staring at him.

I smiled at Bella when the bell rang and left to go wait in our usual spot that we had claimed during our breaks. I spent some time texting Jasper as I waited for Bella to come. The rest of the day went by quickly and after school, I dropped Bella off at home. She said she and Edward had worked some things out and even smiled. She decided to stay home this weekend and let Charlie see that she was indeed still alive.

The next weekend Angela, Bella, and I went shopping for prom dresses. It took us all day, but we all found the perfect dresses. Angela found a beautiful chiffon and satin Alfred Angelo gown in a wine color. It was strapless and knee length with crystal encrusted band around the waist. For Bella we all agreed on a Mori Lee blue chiffon dress. It was strapless with a ruffled top and pleated bodice. It had a high waistline and flowed down to just beneath my knees. I chose an Alvina Valenta form fitting dress. It was in a smoky black silk taffeta with a knee length pencil skirt and a pleated bodice. It had a sweetheart neckline and it was strapless.

By the time we dropped Angela at her house and made it back to mine, Bella and I both were exhausted. Bella completely fell out on the couch and I tossed myself into the recliner. I closed my eyes for a second and tried meditating. I was interrupted though by Bella's voice.

"I am not moving Edward Cullen. Your sister graced me with prom shopping and my feet hurt. I think they might be swelling. Someone might even have to cut my shoes off." She exaggerated.

"Don't be daft Bella, your feet look wonderful from here." I heard my brother say

"Well they don't feel wonderful." She answered back.

I watched as my brother set his chips and drink down and then begin to massage Bella's feet. I smiled and closed my eyes once again, wishing my Jazzy was there to do the same for me. Bella nodded off and I watched the rest of the movie playing with Edward.

"I'm going up to my room, Edward. Will you get Bella a blanket before you head up?" I asked tiredly.

"No problem." He mumbled looking down at Bella softly.

"Love you." I said.

"Love you too. Night!" he called after me.

"Good night." I sighed as I began to climb the stairs. I was so tired, that I didn't even have time to cry myself to sleep from missing Jazzy.

I awoke the next morning and knew by the smells, that mom was cooking breakfast. I dressed and walked into the hallway. I heard Edward's voice and walked over to tell him good morning. I found Bella in his room and the two of them talking.

I'm going to wake Alice and I'll meet you downstairs?" I heard Bella say.

"Very well Miss Swan. Let's say we shall rendezvous at the Cullen family table in ten minutes?" Edward answered.

"That sounds simply delightful, Mr. Cullen." she sighed as she turned towards me.

"Oh yes it would be most delightful to join you for breakfast Miss Swan, Mr. Cullen." I giggled. Edward tossed his shirt on and offered Bella his arm. She accepted and when they got to the doorway he offered me his other arm.

"Then please let me escort the two most beautiful ladies of the house to their breakfast. They must be ravishing with hunger." We all three laughed at our silliness all the way to the table. Mom looked at us amused but just smiled and sat down to join us.

"Why Mrs. Cullen, you are by far the most wonderful cook!" Edward exclaimed sending all of us into another fit of laughter.
