THE STOLEN WORDS

CHAPTER TEN - Waiting

EPOV

"Okay, so I talked to Jenks and described him all the situation we're in. He said it is a very unique and decided case and that he needed more time to handle it."

I was sitting in a cafe and listening to Jasper. He seemed to be equally desperate in finding the solution for our extraordinary situation. Yesterday, after our discussion he left to see what legal procedures we were to take to be able to find the author of the lyrics and not to be accused of steeling her copyrights. It was very important because we could not afford to become deceitful or not trustworthy to our fans, not to mention it was illegal.

I was glad I had someone at my side, and knowing that my parents supported me as well was very fulfilling. I guess I didn't realize how lonely I was in my successful life. While living in New York I had had no time to think about it. I had been working all the time and when I had come back home I had been too tired to feel anything beside like falling asleep.

And now, after spending a couple days in Seattle I felt like the only people I still felt connected with were my parents and Jasper. I appreciated the opportunity to calm down after my busy time in NY and to relax, but I started to wonder what I was going to do while being here, in Washington State. From one side I had that anxious need to find the author of those unbelievable poems, to start working and stop wasting my time. From the other hand I craved a nice and peaceful sleep, lazing around and just be me, without all this fuss with fame and paparazzi. I was lucky that I had been performing with my band The Eclipse, because my name was not very familiar to a common stranger and my own face was not as popular as our group image. Of course our fans knew me, but I liked to think we were not so popular yet to have a lot fans in every city of the United States. They were present during concerts, shows or interviews, but so far I was not stalked or recognized on the street. This was one of the reasons why we decided to move to NYC, to separate our private lifes. We wanted to be close to our recording studio, but also we wanted to distance our career life from our family homes. This was also the reason I felt comfortable to sit it this cafe with Jasper and still feel like an ordinary guy having a good time with his friend and not gaining any attention from any other customer.

"You are quiet today. Have you heard what I said before?" Jasper seemed to be concern with my lack of response to his discussion with Jenks.

"Yeah, I've heard you. I am glad Jenks is taking care of it. He is the best and if anyone is going to find the way how to proceed it would be Jenks. So now what? What are we going to do while waiting for Jenks?" I asked feeling a bit stupid for not having and plans on my own.

"We are meeting Rose and her fiancé tonight." Jasper said casually.

"Rosalie has a fiancé? I thought all she does is working?" I was surprised to hear Jasper's sister got engaged. She was the type of a woman who seemed to be cold and fierce, not the domestic type of girl. I had known her for almost as long as Jasper and we hardly spoke a few sentences. She was very intelligent and always put her job first. „I guess I don't know her that well. Well, I haven't seen her for a couple years. People can change, can't they?"

"Yes, we were all surprised when she announced that she was engaged. Our parents thought she was kidding, but when they saw her ring they realized she was serious".

I smiled imagining Jasper parents' surprise. They were very calm and reserved people who like to plan everything, just like Jasper did. It must have been shock hearing their daughter got engaged. I bet they didn't even know the guy.

"Have you met him yet?" I asked hoping our tonight meeting will not be strange. Thinking about Rosalie I couldn't imagine any guy who could feel comfortable in her company. She was very intimidating and we had not many things in common.

"No, she didn't come to my parent's house yesterday, but she called later and told us to meet her tonight".

"Where are we going to meet them?"

"Some new club here, Breaking Dawn".

A/N: Okay, I am very excited to announce that we are getting close to witness the meeting of our favorite couple :-)

Any ideas how they meet? I am looking forward to hearing from you :-)
