Chapter 10

JPOV:

I heard the soft knocking, I growled wondering what in the world my mother wanted now. Probably wanted me to get up and go take her to lunch, or some stupid shit, she would catergorize it as bonding. Fuck that shit.

"Im coming, hold your damn horses mom," I climbed out of bed, and went to the door. I unlocked it and pulled it open. I barely saw the beautiful girl in front of me, before she was attacking my lips with her own.

I pushed her away, disentangling myself from her.

"Whoa Bells, what the hell? You can't do that shit to me. You dump me last night, and randomly show up today trying to force your tongue down my throat. Its a mass of mixed signals, and I dont have the time or energy to decode them."

I sat on my bed, and motioned for her to join me. I knew I had hurt her with my words, but I to say it. She couldn't be so hot and cold with me. I felt like I was in a bad parody of a Katy Perry video. Fuck. Bella sat next to me, tears in her eyes. Now I really felt like a heartless prick.

"Bella, darlin' whats wrong?" She sniffed and shook her head. It made me mad, I loved her, but fuck I wasnt going to be playing guess my issue. "Bella, why are you here?"

"I, I'm sorry I kissed you," she whispered so softly I had to lean over to catch it. I sighed. She was really getting to me now. First I make her cry, then I make her apologize.

"Darlin', its ok you kissed me, but fuck, you have to understand how confusing this is to me." I pulled her to me, she cried on my shoulder.

"I know, but I thought you would want to kiss me," she looked up at me through tear filled eyelashes.

"I do, and I love kissing you, but either we are together and we can kiss all we want, or we arent together, and no kissing. You need to make up your mind darlin'," I tried to get over how hard it was to look at her that way. She took a deep breath, nodded her head, and sat up.

"I came over here to talk actually. We need to sort everything out, I just couldn't help myself really. I just missed kissing you," she looked defeated.

"I missed it too darlin', but we need to figure things out before we rush back into the emotional things." I was trying to be firm, when all I wanted to do was stare at her lucisious lips and think about how good they felt against mine.

"Ok please don't interupt me," she looked at me and I nodded. "I am sorry of trying to take complete blame, I realized that you a gentleman, and placing full responsibilty on me was just something you couldn't do," I opened my mouth to protest but she held up her hand stopping me. "No, let me finish. I was being stupid. Here it is, months later, and I should be telling you, its over with, lets move on, instead I keep rehashing it to death. I want to forget all about it. It happened, lets only move forward and be wiser from our mistakes." She looked at me and waited for me to say something. Well hell, I wasn't expecting that.

"Wow, darlin', I was half expecting you come in guns blazing demanding I place the blame on you. I agree, I am willing to move forward, and act like nothing happened, if its what you want," she nodded, and I conceeded. At least we were making progress. I pulled her to me, and kissed the top of her head. "Want to go get some lunch? We maybe able to sneak out before my mom realizes you are here."

"Sounds great Jasper," she stood and ran into the bathroom to fix her self up quickly. I got up and pull a shirt on. I fished my shoes out from under my bed, and slipped them on. Bella came out of the bathroom, and we snuck downstairs and out the front door before my mom could hear us.

"How about we drive over to Port Angeles, and just lose ourselves in a bookstore?" I thought it sounds perfect, Bella's eyes widen.

"Oh I need to swing by my house, and get something," I nodded, and we climbed in Rose's BMW.

"Maybe this weekend we can go car shopping for you darlin', that way you don't have to keep borrowing cars." She smiled at me, happy to be discussing mundane topics.

BPOV:

I pulled up to my house, and ran inside quickly. I dashed up the stairs to grab the book sitting on my desk. I grabbed it and heard something fall to the floor. I noticed my necklace laying there. I bent down and picked it up. I stuck the book between my legs, and clasped the necklace on real quick. I ran as fast as I dared down the stairs back outside to Jasper. I was out of breath when I climbed back into the driver's seat.

"Here," I handed him the book. "I guess I bought it for you for Valentine's day. Figured you would like it." He smiled at me.

"Its perfect thank you. I actually don't have this one," he leaned over and kissed my forehead. I smiled as I pulled out and headed down the freeway to Port Angeles. I flipped the radio on, 3oh!3 was playing. I giggled, I forgot how much I liked this song, I sang it to Jasper.

"Well tell your boyfriend, if he says he's got beef, that I'm a vegatarian, and I ain't fucking scared of him," Jasper laughed at me. I left my right hand sitting on the middle console, hoping he would take it, and fit his perfect fingers between mine. As if he could read my mind, he intertwined out fingers. I turned the radio down a bit.

"So, I'm thinking about changing my name again, legally." I turned to him briefly, he looked at me with a furrowed brow.

"What do you mean darlin'?"

"Well, I have changed my name a few times, but if I do it this time, I will be dropping Dwyer from my last name. So I will just be Isabella Marie Swan," he nodded.

"I like it, and I think Charlie would have been happy. He was probably upset when you added Dwyer," I blinked a few tears away.

"He didn't know. I only added it so I could have unlimited access to Phil's money. Phil never really realized it but I took some money from his account and placed into my own private account, in case him and my mom didn't make it. I could support us for a bit, until Phil had to pay alimony."

"Well, I do believe that is illegal, darlin', but its fucking hot," he grinned at me. I rolled my eyes.

"I know its illegal, why do you think no one knew? Phil never even realized, because I took such small amounts. It just looked like my mom spent or withdrew it, Im not stupid."

"I didn't say you were," he was getting irritated. I stopped talking, turning the radio back up, New Found Glory was playing their new song. It was alright, I enjoyed them enough to like it.

----------------

I walked into the bookstore and headed straight to the classics, Jasper was off to the history section. I pulled out a few books I would like to purchase, that never quite made it to Forks from Phoenix. I had Pride and Prejudice, and Romeo and Juliet. I took my books and went off to look for Jasper. I found him in the back corner, nose buried in a thick Civil War book. I couldn't help but smile at the sight before me, wishing I had a camera. I must have been making noise, because Jasper looked up right at me. I smiled at him, and sat down. I opened Romeo and Juliet, reading it. We sat there for about hour, Jasper nudged me with his shoulder. He stood and offered me his hand, helping me up. We took our books up front, buying them.

"Where else do you want to go?" I asked not knowing what he really wanted to do. He intertwined our fingers, and he pulled me to a little cafe on the water. He got us some soup and tea. We ate our soup in silence. I realized I want to make our relationship official. We were over our problems, and our relationship was never official to begin with. I sat my spoon down, and looked him. I bit my lower lip all of sudden not sure if I should. I decided to get it over with, and just ask.

"Jasper Whitlock," I was nervous, fuck. "Will you be my boyfriend?"
