Disclaimer: Don't own any characters, but if I did I would be in a Jasper and Emmett sandwich right now.
A/N: Okay this is just mainly a filler. The next one picks up several weeks later. Sorry this one was a little bit later than my normal day or two, but I had a sick little one and a fall carnival to go too, plus a football game to watch. Which we won. GO Dawgs :).

Bella
Opening my eyes this morning I took in the man laying on the pillow beside me. The unfamiliar Forks sun was shining across his face. His eyes were closed and I could see them flutter with whatever dreams were going in his head. I could feel his breath wash across me in a warm caress. I couldn't stop myself from moving my head forward and pressing my lips across his.
His eyes snapped open as I pulled back.
"Bella?" He questioned.
"I remember everything Jasper."
"What?" He asked propping up on one arm.
"I remember and I love you."
"Oh god baby, I love you too. You don't know how much I've wanted to hear you say that again."
I smiled as I took in the happiness written all over his face.
"I missed you." I whispered.
"I've always been here." He said before leaning down and kissing me again.
I returned it wholeheartedly even grazing his bottom lip with my tongue. Granting me access we melded together in a slow dance of love and need.
Breaking apart when we needed air his lips moved down to my jaw line and my neck.
"Jasper I need you." I whispered.
He rose up and asked, "Are you sure? I don't want to…"
"Shhh," I said interrupting him. "It's been to long. I need to feel you. All of you."
He rolled to where he was raised above me. An arm on each side of my head.
Bringing a hand up I placed it on his cheek. Feeling him lean into it I said, "Make love to me."
Propping back on his calves he pulled me up to remove my shirt. His hands grazing my arms softly as he laid me back on the pillows. Moving his hands down my waist to my hips he hooked a forefinger in each side of my shorts and panties sliding them down my legs.
When they were dropped to the floor he removed his own clothes.
Capturing my mouth with his he slid home. The intense feeling of having him once again fill me completely caused a moan to escape.
"You are so beautiful," He whispered as he continued his slow pace.
Our tongues met over and over as the pressure built. It wouldn't be long before we both fell over the edge, but it didn't matter. We were one person at this moment. I was his and he was mine.
"Baby I'm so close. Let go with me." He said with a groan.
His words and the slight nip on my neck pushed me that last little bit and I was riding on a wave of ecstasy that he quickly joined me on.
As our breathing returned to normal he placed feather light kisses across my closed eyes.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too." I whispered.
Pulling out he settled on the bed beside me and drew me into his arms. Smiling up at him I received one in return.
One of his hands brushed the stray hair off my face as he said, "You need to wake up."
"But I am awake," I said in confusion.
"No baby you aren't. I'm sorry. Just know that I love you."
"I love you too."
He smiled softly placing a light kiss on the tip of my nose as a tear slid down my cheek.
"It's okay. I'll be here when you get up."
Nodding a little I pulled myself closer to him and closed my eyes. The next time I opened them I wasn't in Jasper's arms anymore, the sun wasn't shining, and I was still fully clothed as was he.
As I lay there watching him sleep I replayed the dream in my head. Why couldn't it have been real? I wanted it to be so bad. Especially after the kiss he gave me last night. I know he only did it because of what I said, but god it had felt good for the few seconds his lips was pressed against mine. I would not have been disappointed if he had kept it up either.
Sighing I rolled over onto my back and checked the clock. We were meeting everyone at 10 for breakfast, but it was only 6:30 so I still had way too much time to think.
Staring up at the ceiling I thought about everything he'd told me over the last week. I could see now just by being around him how I fell in love with him in such a short amount of time. I just wish I could remember when it happened.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Jasper asked from beside me. I hadn't even realized he was awake.
"Nothing why?"
He reached a hand up and brushed a thumb across my cheek. "You're crying."
"Oh."
"What's going on?"
"Nothing. I'm fine really. I was just thinking."
"About?"
"Everything." I answered.
"Anything you want to talk about?"
Looking into his eyes all I could see was the concern he held for me. I shook my head no.
"It's what I usually think about, so everything is fine."
"Okay." He said with a little bit of disbelief coloring his voice, but he didn't push the issue. Instead he asked, "What time do we have to meet the others?"
"10."
He glanced up at the clock behind me. "It's 7:30. Do you want some help getting ready before I run to Jacob's or after?"
"You can go ahead and go, I'll call Leah and she can take me to the diner."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah." I said nodding my head.
Before he could get up my cell phone rang. Grabbing it off the stand beside me I checked the caller ID. Smiling when I saw who it was I flipped it open.
"Hey Ally."
"Hey. Just wanted to make sure you were still going to do what you had planned. So I can play my part."
"Of course I am." I said smiling.
"Okay. I'll see you at 10. Are you going to start it then?"
"No I think I'll start sending them now and you can be mad at him when you get to the diner."
"Sounds fun. See you later. Love ya."
"Love you too."Closing the phone I glanced at Jasper who was looking confused.
I smiled.
"What was all that about?" He asked sitting up.
"Just going to have fun with Emmett." I answered reaching for my purse and pulling out the prepaid cell phone I'd gotten yesterday.
"What's that?"
"A cell phone."
"I know that, but why do you have another one?"
"So Emmett doesn't recognize the number."
'Okay?"
"I decided to mess with him. He saw me naked and I really don't want to return the same gesture so I came up with another way to pay him back."
"How do you plan on doing that?"
"Watch." I said flipping the phone open and typing out a text message.
Handing it over to Jasper before I hit send he read, Hey handsome. Remember me?
"That's not so bad," He said.
"No, but when Alice reads it and gets mad, plus when they start to get a little more personal and sexual. They will be."
"Pure evil." He said smirking. "I like it."
I laughed as I hit the send button.
"How often are you going to send one?"
"I think about every 10 minutes, unless he sends me one back."
"You do know I saw Alice naked right."
"Yeah, she told me yesterday, but from what she said yours was an accident. However Emmett not knocking wasn't, so therefore he gets payback."
The phone beeped signaling me to a new message coming in. I laughed as I read, No. Who is this?
Typing out, Your breaking my heart, but I'll let it slide because I remember you. I sent it before grabbing my regular phone and sending a quick text to Leah. She sent one back just as fast saying she'd be over in 20 minutes.
Jasper stood as I closed my phone.
"I guess I'll go unless you want me to stay until Leah gets here."
"No it's okay. I'll see you in a little bit." I said glancing up.
He nodded and started for the door.
Just as he went to pull it open I said, "You might want to pack your stuff at Jacob's while you're there."
"Why?"
"Well that way you won't have to go over there every morning. Since we start school tomorrow you'd have to get up early."
"Oh. So…"
"Yes. If you want. I like having you around."
He smiled and without saying a word went out the door and down the stairs.
I lay back on the bed to wait for Leah. I let my mind wander on what I was going to type out to Emmett for the rest of the day. That was if I made it through breakfast without giving myself away.
Ten minutes later Leah walked in the door just as both of my phones beeped. Checking the one from Emmett first I saw the message, I think you might have the wrong person.
Leah was looking at me as I laughed.
"Already starting with him?"
"Yep." I said as I typed out the next message.
Well, if this is Emmett then I certainly have the right person. Hitting send I picked up the other phone.
I had a new message from Alice.
Pulling it up I felt Leah come up and read over my shoulder. He's already sweating and you haven't sent anything bad yet. This is going to be fun.
I just sent a simple, hee hee, to her before getting up and getting my clothes.
Leah helped me into the shower, but I was able to get things done like I had yesterday. When I came back out into the bedroom I had another text from Emmett.
This is Emmett, but I really have no clue who you are.
You knew who I was that night.
Grabbing my purse I slid my regular phone inside. Putting the prepaid phone in my pocket I grabbed a jacket and we went down the steps.
My dad was in the kitchen when we came down.
"Hey guys. Where you headed?"
"To breakfast with Alice and the others before they go back to Seattle. Want to come with us?"
"Who's all going?"
"Me, Leah, Jasper, Jacob, Alice, Emmett, Rose, Edward, Paul, Rachel…"
"I get the point." Dad said holding up his hand. "I'll let you young people have your morning. I may head over to Billy's house."
"Okay." I said moving over to kiss him on the head. He smiled up at me and I made for the door. Getting to it I turned back, "Oh Jasper will be moving back in here."
"Good. I like that kid." Was my dad's only reply.
I shook my head as Leah smiled. We made our way out of the house and into her car. On the way I received another text from Emmett.
You are really confused. I have a girlfriend so I have no idea what you are talking about.
Smirking I sent off--You didn't seem to mind the fact that you had a girlfriend when we met, so that argument won't fly with me.
Before I shut the phone I made sure to turn it to silent. I didn't need a beep or vibrate to give me away.
We pulled into the diner parking lot soon after and made our way inside. Paul, Rachel, Kim, Jared, Jacob, Jasper, Embry, Quil, and Claire were already there waiting at a huge table. I hobbled over and took the empty seat beside Jasper. I was glad to see that with only one chair beside me and Jared and Kim in front of me across the table so that Emmett wouldn't be able to see me texting under the table.
"How's it going so far?" He asked as I sat down.
"Good. Alice said he's already sweating bullets pretty much."
He chuckled and threw an arm over the back of my chair. I checked the phone in my lap and saw I had another message.
I elbowed Jasper in the side and he turned his head from talking to Jacob.
I pulled the phone so he could see the text.
What argument? You are delusional.
I was delusional that night too, but it was all because of you big guy. Those muscles sure do know how to turn a girl's brain to mush.
Jasper cracked up at my new message. I sent it off and said, "You can't do that when they get here."
"I know. How long are you planning on keeping this up with him?"
"For awhile. It will make for an interesting car ride home, don't you think?"
"You know he'll pay you back for this?"
"Yep, but it will be fine."
We turned our attention back to the conversation going on around us and waited for the last six to show up.
Sam and Emily came in a few minutes later and they took the seat beside me and the one at the end of the table.
I received a new text as I saw Edward's Volvo pull into the parking lot.
Stop fucking texting me. I don't know who you are or what you are talking about.
"He's getting mad." I whispered to Jasper and showed him the words.
He just shook his head.
Typing quickly I sent out---I can't get you out of my head, so I can't quit texting you. I need another night like you gave me last time.
I watched through the window as the scowl on his face became the dominate expression as he looked as his phone again.
Alice flung the door open and marched through ahead of everybody else. She was seething and I had to bite my cheek to keep from ruining everything right there.
Giving me a wink she asked, her voice loud enough for it to carry, "Emily do you mind letting me sit there? I don't want to be beside Emmett right now."
"Sure. Everything okay?"
"No."
Every one looked back and forth between the two of them, but didn't say anything. Alice came over and slammed her purse on the table while Emmett jerked his chair out and sat down. I glanced up at Rose and Edward and they both were trying not to laugh. Apparently she had told him what was going on.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Emmett texting away furiously.
When he set the phone down I quickly glanced at the one in my lap. Seeing it come through I hit the button to pull it up.
I give no one good nights but my girl and last time I checked you weren't her. Now please you've already upset her so stop all of this.
I slid the phone into Alice's lap as I leaned over to Jasper.
Making sure no one could hear I whispered into his ear, "Lean forward a little so he can't see me looking down."
He did what I asked as Alice put the phone back in my lap and squeezed my leg to let me know she read it.
You should have thought about that then. I'm not going away until we hook up one more time. I want to see that tattoo again.
As Emmett's phone vibrated on the table he looked up at Alice quickly before pulling it off the table. When he growled Alice huffed out a sigh and crossed her arms.
"Alice what's the matter?" I asked as the waitress came up to get our orders. We told her what we wanted to eat and drink. When I turned my attention back to Alice. She shook her head and I saw the fake tears well up in her eyes. God she was good.
"Nothing."
"You can tell me." I said coaxing her.
She sighed and leaned closer to whisper in my ear. Thank goodness Rose, Edward, and Jasper were talking loud enough to drown out what we were saying which I think they were doing on purpose because everyone else was trying hard to listen.
"This is so much fun."
I let my eyes get big and turned my head slightly to look at Emmett who was staring at us. When I turned back I whispered, "He's getting so mad."
She nodded with a frown and whispered, "I can't wait until he finds out it is you."
"WHAT?" I asked loudly and turned in my chair to give Emmett a death glare.
"I haven't done anything. This girl whoever she is is crazy."
Everyone had fallen silent and was looking back and forth between him and me and Alice.
"Then why are you still texting her?" Alice asked letting a tear slide down her cheek.
"Because she won't leave me alone." He said holding up his phone. "Baby I swear I don't know who she is."
"She knows you have a tattoo though," Edward said looking at Emmett's phone as he held it in his hand.
"I know, but I don't know how." He said.
"Right?" Alice said rolling her eyes and turning her head away.
Emmett started typing on his cell phone again.
When it came through I had to fight a smile.
You've made my girlfriend cry. I don't know why you feel the need to do this or how you know I have a tattoo, but this isn't funny anymore. I don't know you, so you need to back off.
Once again I leaned toward Alice and whispered, "I'm going to the bathroom. I'll send another text. When he gets it get his phone and recall the number. When I answer act like I'm describing him to you."
She nodded and I slipped the phone in my pocket before sliding the chair back.
"Where are you going?" Jasper asked as I grabbed my crutches.
"Bathroom," I muttered. "Alice do you want to come with me?"
She shook her head no.
I made my way carefully to the restroom and locked myself into a stall. Lowering the toilet seat I sat down and pulled the phone out.
I sent off--Not backing down. Your girlfriend should learn how to please her man.
I only had to wait a few seconds before the phone showed I had a call coming through.
I hit answer, but didn't say anything until I was sure it was Alice on the other end.
She must have sensed that I was waiting for her because she asked, "Who is this?"
"Do you think I'm going to far?"
"No," She answered. "Who is this?"
"Look at him while you talk to me. Narrow your eyes a little bit every second so he thinks I'm saying stuff."
"Okay, describe him then."
I laughed because I needed to get it out before I messed up out there. "Is he looking freaked out?"
"Yes, that's him."
I could just picture her giving him the evil eye while he looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
"Okay, I'm fixing to come out so just hold the phone to your ear. I'm going to put the phone in my pocket and leave it on until I sit back down."
As I put the phone in my pocket I heard, "I don't care if he did that to you. I don't want you sending him anymore texts; if you do I will find you. Do you understand me?"
I pushed open the bathroom door and went back to the table. As I sat down I pulled the phone out of my pocket and hit end.
"I'm hanging up now. Remember what I said, bitch." Alice said and slammed the phone shut. Sliding it toward Emmett she said, "Your friend says hi."
"Alice, baby I swear…"
She held up her hand, "I don't want to hear it right now Emmett. Maybe later, but not right now."
He sighed and started picking at his food that had arrived while I was gone.
While we ate I kept cutting my eyes over to Emmett. I noticed that the ones who knew what was happening kept doing the same thing also, even Alice. The others were just being quiet. No one wanting to say anything that might set them off.
By the time everyone was almost done eating I felt horrible. Emmett's face was breaking my heart and I was beginning to think that I had gone to far. It was funny in the beginning, but now he just looked so defeated.
Sighing I leaned toward Alice.
"I don't like this anymore. It's quit being fun."
"I know." She whispered back. "I hate seeing him look like that."
"Me too."
"You know he's going to be pissed."
"Yes and I'll take the brunt of it."
She nodded and I pulled the phone out of my lap. Hitting send I put the phone to my ear. Jasper was looking at me. I don't know if he heard what I said to Alice, but I'm sure he could see what we were thinking by our faces.
Emmett's phone rang then. He glanced at it quickly, but didn't move to answer it.
It rang again and Alice said, "Answer it."
"It's her."
"So, just do it."
He sighed and picked it up.
"What?" He asked.
"I love you," I answered.
His eyes snapped to me. When he saw I had the phone to my ear he shut his and stood up. He didn't say a word as he walked outside.
Alice went to stand. I stopped her with a hand on her arm.
"This was my idea and my fault it went this far. I'll go."
She nodded and sat back down.
"Will you be okay?" Jasper asked as I stood up.
"Yeah. It's Emmett." He gave me a small smile. "Explain to the others for me."He nodded and helped me get situated as I stood up.
When I got outside Emmett was leaning against the back of Edward's car.
"I'm sorry." I said as I got closer.
"Why?"
"It was for walking in without knocking and seeing me naked. It was supposed to be funny and for a while it was, but then it wasn't anymore when I saw how upset you were getting."
"Alice was in on it?"
"Yes, but it was my idea. I planned it yesterday at the mall."
"So Rose and Leah knew too."
Yeah, and Jasper, Edward, and Jacob. Jasper is telling everyone else."
"Great." He muttered. "I look like a jackass."
"You do not. If anyone does it's me. Like I said it was my idea and I got carried away with it."
"Yes you did."
"Sorry. Can you forgive me?"
"Of course Bella. You're one of my best friends, but you need to know something."
"What's that?"
"Payback is a bitch."
I smiled and his lips twitched.
"I wouldn't expect anything less from you."
His mouth turned completely up then and he pulled me into his side for a hug. The others came out of the door then and we glanced over. Alice and Jasper were both carrying a to-go box. Everyone else was wearing a smile.
"Everything okay out here?" Jasper asked getting to us.
"Yep." I said.
"We brought your food since neither one of you ate."
"Thanks." I said turning to Alice who was standing in front of Emmett.
"I love you," She said giving him her best puppy dog eyes. Rolling mine I looked up at him.
He stood glaring for a second, but finally said, "I love you too." Taking the tray from her he set it on the trunk and picked Alice up in his arms. As he leaned forward he said, "I'm telling you the same thing I told Bella. Payback is a bitch."She nodded and gave him a kiss.
When he set her back on the ground we all started to say our goodbyes. I gave a hug to Rose and Edward first and then one to Alice.
When I got to Emmett he picked me up like he had Alice and said, "When you least expect it," before giving me a peck on the cheek and a squeeze.
I nodded.
The left soon after. I told everyone else bye before going over to Jasper's car. He helped me into the seat before getting into the driver's side.
We drove back to my house talking about what I said to Alice on the phone when I went to the bathroom. He was laughing openly now about it, but I was starting to worry about what Emmett was going to do to me.
The rest of the day we spent watching movies. Dad joined us a little bit before 5 and we ended up ordering a pizza for dinner and telling him about what I did to Emmett.
As we lay in bed a little while later I asked, "You nervous for tomorrow?"
"A little bit. I have done this before, but it's a subject I'm not as familiar with."
"You'll be fine and I do remember my college classes for the most part, so I'll be able to help hopefully."
"We'll be fine then." He said smiling.
I tried to cover a yawn, but was unsuccessful.
"Let's get some sleep," He whispered.
I nodded already feeling my eyes start to droop. The last thing I remembered was feeling him pull me close and placing a kiss on my forehead. I was hoping I dreamed good things again.
