Chapter 10

I looked around in amazement at our hotel room. It had a fantastic view of London. The flight had been long, but it had been broken up by Emmett's jokes and his knack for creating conversation. We planned on being tourists for this trip. Even though we were in temporary exile that didn't mean that we couldn't have enjoy ourselves. Rosalie and I had mapped out our itinerary. We were going to take in as much of the city as we could. The phone rang before I could finish taking in the scenery. I picked it up. "Bella, I was looking over the list of things that we can do, and I totally forgot to put in there wedding stuff." Rose's voice was getting more excited as she was talking. "I mean, hello we are in one of the fashion capitals of the world. We can look at dresses, shoes, veils, jewelry. The possibilities are endless." I smiled. "I guess we can go. To tell you the truth I haven't even really thought about the wedding yet. I just got engaged. Remember?"

I heard the phone click off the hook. I looked up to see Jasper holding his hand out for the phone. I smiled at him. "Thank you for saving me." He laughed and grabbed my hand. He twirled me around to face him. I pressed myself closer into him. I was immediately hit by a wave of lust. I buried my head in his chest started to pull his sweater up off of his skin. I slipped my hands under it and ran them over his sleek muscles. He buried his hands in my chestnut hair and pulled my lips up to his. The kiss was an explosion. It was urgent and violent. I loved it. I slipped his sweater off of his head and moved my hands slowly down to his jeans. He stopped me and slid my shirt to the ground. His lips traced their way down to my neck. I felt his teeth graze against my skin and I shuddered. I felt the urge to consume him. I needed him, all of him. I needed the reassurance that he was actually with me and he was mine. I pushed him back onto the bed and practically ripped off the rest of his clothing. He had obviously felt my urgency because my clothes mixed with his on the floor. We came together fiercely and I climaxed with his name on my lips.

He pulled the blankets up over us and nestled my head under his chin. My breathing was still erratic, but it had been one of the best experiences of my life. I couldn't explain my actions. I had never been so pushy or demanding with him. I sat up and looked at him. His expression told me that he hadn't minded it. He had his eyes closed and a lazy smile on his face. I situated myself back into my previous position and relaxed. We stayed together and waited for morning to show it's face.

We got up when Rosalie and Emmett burst into our room at nine. "Rise and shine my dear siblings. There are lots of things for us to do today." Emmett's voice pounded in my ears. Rose pulled out clothes for me to wear that day and tried to drag her husband out of the room to give us some privacy. He had never cared about things like that. Emmett pretty much lived his life out in the open. He didn't care what people thought of him, he was just happy to be alive and to share his enthusiasm with other people. When they were out I sat up and ran into the shower. Jasper joined me a minute later and grabbed the bottle of shampoo. His fingers lathered the suds in my hair. It was so relaxing. When her was done I rinsed it out and finished with the shower. He dropped a kiss on my shoulder as he got out.

I dried off and ran a brush through my hair. I put on the clothes that Rose had laid out for me. Black dress pants, a soft gray turtleneck sweater and black kitten heels. There were days that I loved this girl. I pulled on my black and white coat and grabbed my bag and the camera.

We spent the day exploring all of the different historical sights and museums. It was enjoyable and peaceful. We weren't surprised by the lack of sunlight. We were in London, it was almost as bad as Forks with the rain and the snow. We only had one hiccup in the day, and that was when we went to the Tower of London. We had to leave because upon entering our noses were assailed with the scent of dead blood. We hadn't thought that it would be a big deal seeing as how there hadn't really been blood spilled there in such a long time. But the stench of it was enough to almost make us physically ill. After that we had decided to split up. Jasper and Emmett were going to see the changing of the guards and Rose and I were going to see what the city had to offer in terms of wedding attire. Alice and Esme would be upset, but when the possibility of going with just Rose came up I knew I had to jump on it. She wouldn't pressure me about what I liked, and she wouldn't force on me something that I hated. Plus, I wouldn't be forced to stand there for hours on end trying on dress after dress. It would be easy. We would browse and look through the dresses that were my taste alone. I kissed my soon to be husband and walked out the door with my best friend.

We went into a few of the shops, but didn't find anything that really caught my attention. I was worried because we had looked at so many and I hadn't found one that I really loved. I asked Rosalie about it and she just patted my hand. "My dear friend. Listen to some advice from someone who has been down this road and tried on more wedding dresses than the years you have been alive. When you see your dress you will just know. Something inside you will just click. You will feel it in your stomach, and when you put it will feel perfect. Kind of like it was made for you and you alone. Trust me, I know these things." I thought on her words for a second and laughed. What she had said was true. Rosalie was the queen of weddings seeing as how she loved being the center of attention. We gave up after a while and decided to shop for other things.

We went to different bakers and looked at cakes. I was starting to get an idea of what I would like with her help. We made a list of the different things and took pictures to show to Esme and Alice. They would probably hate me for doing this without them. Well, actually Esme wouldn't hate me, she would understand, but Alice. Alice would be mad! We called a cab to bring us back to the hotel. When we pulled up we saw Emmett and Jasper playing soccer across the street at a small park. We ran up to greet them. Jasper swung me around in his arms and kissed me. I was so happy to see him. I kind of regretted not asking him to go with us. Shopping wasn't really his thing, but I could tell he was very excited about it. We walked hand in hand into the entrance hall of the hotel with Rose behind us, jabbering to her husband all the way in.

The four of us decided to have a movie night in mine and Jasper's room. They went out to the store around the corner to buy some of our old favorites for us. I took the time to show Jasper some of my ideas for the wedding. I got out the digital camera and started to show him the pictures. I was thinking about a winter wedding. I wanted it to be outside with the snow falling down lightly as I walked down the aisle. I wanted everything to be blood red roses, white every where and touches of black. Something simple, but undeniably elegant. The colors would work perfectly for Jasper too. They weren't too showy. They were perfect and would suit us wonderfully. He didn't say anything, he just nodded his head every once in a while. It was making me rethink my choices. I was so sure that he would have liked it. "Bella, I can feel your indecision. Empath remember?" He took the camera out of my hands and started looking through the pictures again. After he had looked at all of them again he sat it down and took my hands in his. "Isabella, I think that what you have picked is wonderful. I love the colors and I love your ideas. They are so great it makes me think that you have been planning this for years." He tucked his finger under my chin so that I was looking at him. "Could it possibly be that you are excited to marry me? You, Isabella Marie Swan are actually happy about the prospect of marriage?" I laughed and thought back to how I had always felt about marriage. I shook the memories away and beamed up at him. "Jasper, I would marry you a thousand times over as long as I get to keep you forever!"

They came back with the movies and we all settled into the living room in our suite. I curled up into Jasper and rubbed my cheek against his shirt. His rich scent flooded my nose and I was content. Emmett popped in Wicker Park. It had been one of my favorites. We watched Josh Hartnett try to find the woman that he had loved for so long, only to be disappointed time and time again. She was always just out of his reach. Then there was the woman who had loved him unconditionally. She would have done anything to be with him and she did. She did horrible things, things that were so out of character for her, but she did them anyway. Just to be with him. In the end she had admitted what she had done and he had found the woman that he had been searching for. I pulled Jasper's arms around me tighter as the movie ended. Rosalie stood up and put in the next one. Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind. I loved the movie, but Jasper hated it. We watched in silence, each of us understanding and interpreting the movie in our own way. I knew the pain that the characters were feeling because I had been there once. I had wished for so many years that someone could erase my memories of Edward, but it was impossible. The pain was so engraved in me that nothing had even lessened the pain he had inflicted until I feel for Jasper. However, during my time with him I had leaned that it was better to have the memories because without them I would be different. So, I accepted the pain that I had felt because what I had actually gotten out of life was so much better. When the dvd started going through the credits Rose and Emmett said goodnight to us and went to their own room. We laid down in our bed and pulled the covers high over us.

I couldn't stop thinking about the movies we had watched. It had put my mind back on the thoughts of Edward and what he had said to me before we left. It was so unlike him. He was always kind, even when something was wrong. There was no mistaking his tone of voice or the looks he had given me. The only thing I wasn't sure about was whether he hated me or my choices. I tried to push the thoughts away, but I couldn't. Jasper must have sensed the change in my emotions because he started rubbing his palm up and down my arm. He didn't ask what was bothering me. I was glad, because I didn't want him to know that I was afraid of his brother.

We spent the next few days shopping for things for the wedding. Emmett was getting tired of London so he tried to talk us into going to Ireland. We knew that we should start making plans to go home, but the idea was so appealing. We packed up our suitcases and got ready to leave. Jasper was going though the bags of stuff that we had purchased over the last few days. He held up some very revealing lingerie. "Bella, I didn't know you were interested in this stuff?" I laughed and swatted the scanty red bra set out of his hands. "Keep dreaming Jazz. That stuff is for Alice. I was embarrassed enough just having to go into the store to buy it for her. I'm pretty positive that if I could have blushed I would have." I pulled out a box and put the items in it. I wrote out a short note and placed it on top. Jasper handed me the tape I sealed it up. I addressed the box to my pixie sister and called down to the front desk. They assured me that it would be sent out immediately. We pulled on our coats and left the room, eager for the next leg of our trip.
