Kay. Sorry about the fact I didn't update for like FOREVER. My laptop's got virus and need to go to the shop to fix. Everything was deleted along with my documents. So I need to rewrite everything on my Mum's Mac. Hope this one won't break down...
Here's chap 11. The longest and I think is the best so far.
As I walked toward the car, I saw Emmet eyes set on me like I was a meal.
"Wow, your girlfriend sure do smell nice!" He said just when I opened the door. I let out a growl.
"Calm down tiger. I'm not gonna eat her or somethin" he backed off, chuckling.
"Just get in Jasper." Alice said impatiently "I need to get home and get ready to go shopping for Bella's makeover!"
"You invited Bella over?" Edward asked amusingly and turned his gaze at me.
"No, your little devil did."
"Just admit it Jazz. I'm an angel." She said, smirking.
I rolled my eyes.
After a quite while driving, Edward finally spoke up.
"So…Jazz, Em, you up for a hunt tonight?"
"What? Aw, man. I can't come." Emmet let out a moan "I promised to take Rosie out tonight…Honey, can we…you know…resche-"
"No, Emmet. No." Rose frowned.
"Well, Jasper. Look like it's just you and me. You up for it?"
"Yeah. Sure." I said curtly.
Edward drove in the garage. I got out of the car and bumped to Carlisle on the way out.
"Oh. Hello, son."
"Hi Dad."
He was frozen, inhaling air and sniffing lightly. I scanned his emotions. Worried. Curious. And lastly, impressed. I narrowed my eyes and stared at him. What on earth is going through his head? Finally, he raised up his eyebrows: amused.
"Wow. A sweet human scent around you. A thick layer of it I must say. And no blood spilled though you're quite thirsty today. Wow. You're getting better it seems like. Jasper, I'm really proud of you." He said, putting his hand on my shoulder.
Gosh, do I have that much Bella on me?
"Yes, Jazz, yes you do." Edward said as he passed us. "You smell so much like her now that I even want to gobble you up." I narrowed my eyes again. What's up with this family and jokes about gobbling my poor Bella. I might need to cancel the plan for her visit.
"Did I hear the word 'her'"? Esme suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said. Super hearing is what I really dislike about vampires. And it just get worst when you need privacy.
"Tell me, dear, who's she?"
Though how much she tried to make her voice calm and casual, I could still hear the excitement pouring out of her voice. Esme had been nuts on the fact I'm still single and mateless.
"She's Jazzy's new girlfriend, mother. She's pretty. She's a brunette. She look like a vampire: pale and glorious. And most importantly, she's driving our poor Jasper crazy. Doesn't she, brother dear?" Alice voice rang like a bell from the living room. That little…
While I was cursing Alice in every language I know, I caught Carlisle and Esme exchanged a look and smiled slightly. Though the smile is nothing to compare with the enormous amount of happiness from them both. It's actually really sweet.
"Dear, I'd like to meet this miraculous girl…" Esme said when she finally calm down to speak.
"Well, you should be grateful. Alice here invited her over this Sunday for a girl bonding time.
"It's not late to thanks me now you nitwit." She said out loud. "And keep your thought, neither I or Edward is liking your attitude and your cursing ability. Really Jasper. I'm doing all of these for you. Well, a little for me though. But what I'm saying is, one of this day when you're living happily ever after, you better turn around and say thank you to your sweet sister for setting it up in the first place."
I sigh. I like how Alice think. Bella and me, happily ever after. Yeah, that's so gonna happen.
"Dude, comin?" Edward popped his hand in my room.
"Uh, yeah sure." I stood up and went down stairs. Edward passed Alice and gave her a goodbye kiss and then we both set off.
"So what we're up to? Deers? Bears?"
"Deers. We need to save some bears for the next time Em is coming."
And then silence came again. I just found it harder to talk casually to Edward nowadays. All the time running, I tried to keep my thoughts away from Bella. Those are privates. And I don't want Edward here eavesdropping on it. Such a stalker.
"Jazz! You know it doesn't turn off. Do you think I actually enjoy looking through people's head?"
"Hell yeah." I would. I'd love to see the thoughts behind each and every words from Bella.
"Ugh. Do you actually wanna see Emmet think and rewind and rewind again of every moment he's in the bedroom with Rose? Sometimes it got too detail that I feel like I'm the one…with Rose…you know what I mean." He shuddered. I shook along. That's just gross.
"And about the Bella thought thingy. It doesn't work Jazz. I can't read her mind."
I raised my eyebrows. What?
"I know, I was surprised myself. Whatever way I tried, I can't go to her mind. Like there's a shield she's holding against my power."
"But I can still feel her emotions."
"And Alice can still see her future. It's unexplainable Jazz."
"Hmph. Cool."
"It's actually quite interesting. She's the only one that ever be able to do that to me. She's quite special, your Bella."
Is it why you try to snatch her away from me? The bitter thought came up accidentally.
"What? Jasper?"
My mind automatically answer it. I have no choice. My thought rewind back to the scene when Edward turned around and said "I think I'm in love with her".
Edward sighed, bitting his lips trying to hold back the laughter.
"I don't find anything funny here, Edward."
"Jasper. You dungbrain. How could you think I'm in love with her?" He asked, half chuckling.
"Because…you said it…" I said hesitantly, still not getting the joke.
"Jasper, I have a mate. And mate is forever. Nothing could pull you away from your mate. Even if Bella is the most beautiful person on earth, she wouldn't be able to distract me from Alice."
"But you said…"
"Does it make it the truth? No, Jazz. I'd been plotting to make you jealous and to speed you up to go for Bella. And you did. And look how far you've come. If I never said it, you'd just shy away from her and torture yourself with the arguments in your head every night. I did that for you Jazz. And for the rest of us who don't need to hear you regretting about your feelings anymore."
I'm still speechless. My head rewinding every words he said and tried to swallow it in. When I finally got it, the only sound came out of me was "Oh."
"I thought you would find out when you see Alice is still careless, not seeing me falling in love with Bella. But you butthead never see it, and still hating me for it." He said, about to laugh now.
I pouted childishly.
"I don't need your help. If you would leave me alone, I'm still manly enough to get her." I said mockingly.
"That's the spirit bro!" He boomed. It's so…Emmet-ish. "You go catch her, tiger! Oh. Sorry, I didn't…" He said as he realized the literal meanings. "But well, she charms you fully doesn't she. From her look, to her mind, till her scent…"
I chuckled. "Yeah. She does." I wish I charmed her as much.
"Hah, she'd be blind if she's not head over heels for you bro. Any girl would be lucky to have my dear brother falling for them."
"Thanks." Though I'm rolling my eyes.
"Really, why don't you ask her?"
"What? That's suicidal!"
"Look who's talking. The one who'd been fighting hundreds of newborns and killed every of them. Battle scars covered his body. And he's afraid of what? Asking a girl if she like him or not. Kid, you need to go for it!" He said amusingly.
"It's easy for you to say. You scanned Alice's mind before you confess." I pouted "And don't you call me kid Masen. I'm old enough to be your gramps."
"Ugh, Grandpa's going out with a teenage girl!" Edward joked mindlessly.
I frowned. "Edward!" I said, chasing after him. I hate that guy.
...Who am I kidding? He's the best brother anyone could have.
What do you think? Tell me. Criticize. I don't mind. Just review alright?
