A/N: hey guys. Sorry the last chapter took so long to post, but in my own defence Fan fiction wouldn't let me log on. Any way… Charlie! Did anyone see that coming?:P
Bella's POV.
Oh crap. This was not good. At all. What the Hell was Charlie doing here anyway? This was not going to go down well. I hadn't even told him about the break up between myself and Edward yet, I doubt that he would believe me now when I tell him that he broke up with me. And who would? I was in his hot brothers car, kissing him like there was no tomorrow! Shit!
"Chief Swan." Jasper sounded so calm when he spoke, it was as if he wasn't the least bit worried about being caught parked at the side of the road, kissing the chief of polices daughter, and according to said chief, his brothers girlfriend.
"Isabella Marie Swan. Get out of that car right now!" I flinched. He was not happy. I looked to Jasper, who looked back with wide eyes that told me all I needed to know. I looked back to my dad, whose face was slowly creeping towards purple. I took a breath.
"No." I said it firmly, causing Charlie to recoil like I'd slapped him. I bit the inside of me cheek, I really didn't like arguing with Charlie. He was too good to me and honestly, we got on far too well to argue anyway. I felt like shit. He didn't deserve this treatment, but then neither did we. We had a sadistic vampire after my mate and I for one did not plan on hanging around anymore than I had to. What had to be done, had to be done. And this had to be done.
"Look, dad. I can explain. Jaspers uncle, Carlisle's brother, is terminally ill. He doesn't have long left. He requested that Carlisle bring the family one last time before he passed. There was a mix in the communication and he thinks that I'm 'with' Jasper, not Edward." I had to grit my teeth over that one. I did not like that I had to insinuate that I was still with Edward. Jasper squeezed my hand in reassurance, letting me know that although he didn't like it either, he knew it had to be said.
"He's senile dad. And his mind is very fragile. We've been told that it's best just to go along with him, so as not to cause any more damage, or tip the precarious balance that he's living with now. I completely understand. It was my choice to go. Jasper and I both decided to try out our 'couple' skills before we got there. To see how comfortable we are with each other. Of course Alice and Edward begrudgingly accepted our argument. Why cause more confusion to a frail man? It was a split decision, really I only had time to write a note and pack." I could feel the waves of trust and acceptance pouring out of Jasper, into Charlie. I had to keep a smile from breaking out across my face when I saw him nodding, accepting my completely fabricated story. I had to admit, secretly to myself that I was proud of the concoction I had come up with right on the spot. It could happen, right?
"I don't like it, but I know your hearts in the right place Bells. I expect a call from you as soon as you get there, you hear? And you don't do anything you don't want to do, understand?" he asked glaring at Jasper. We both nodded. Charlie sighed and ran his hand through his hair, nodding at us before turning on his heel and climbing back into the cruiser.
"Well…that went well." Jasper burst into laughter, making me smile.
"That was quite the story Darlin'. Pray tell, where the Hell it came from?" he grinned down at me. I shrugged demurely and batted my lashed, causing him to growl. Goddamn was my man sexy. If we kept it up, I would be having a completely different answer to Emmett the next time he saw us.
"Drive cowboy!" he squeezed my hand and pulled onto the almost deserted road and I flicked the radio on.
We jammed and sang to all the different songs that came on, just enjoying the road trip ahead of us. The only thing that could cause a damper in my mood now was the cramping in my stomach. Obviously, I knew it was my period starting, that's not what made me uncomfortable. It was the fact that Peter and Charlotte were not 'vegetarians' like the Cullen's. And although I trusted Jasper, and the rest of the family, completely I couldn't be too sure about Jaspers brother and sister. It made me feel bad, that I doubted two people that my Jazz trusted so completely, but I was the fragile human.
I could see Jasper glance at me from the corner of my eye, obviously wondering what I was so nervous about. And then I remembered the store. I smirked mischievously to myself.
"Jazz?" I turned to look at him and he hummed in appreciation at his new nickname. I chuckled gleefully inside.
"Vampires half perfect recollection, right? Like photographic memory, correct?" I tilted my head, somewhat curiously. Edward had told me about a vampires memory before, but I thought it maybe might only apply to some.
"Of course Darlin'." I blushed, loving the endearment he gave me. I nodded slowly, thinking through what I wanted to say before I had one of my moments where my mouth does not consult my brain, before opening and spewing only God knows what.
"Well if that's the case, then haven't you forgot something?" mister, I have perfect recollection had forgotten about the store too. Ha.
He looked at me with a brow raised and I grinned from ear to ear, knowing that I wouldn't let him live this down.
"The store…?" his face was comical. Then he frowned at me and I thought I might have pissed him off.
"You little minx. You're enjoying this, aren't you?" he smiled at me, and I swear my legs went to fucking jelly; it was a good thing I was sitting down. Honestly, my grin must be like the cat that got the cream. He shook his head and pulled into the car park of the nearest store twenty minutes later.
"I'll be five minutes." I grabbed my purse and jumped out the car, stumbling slightly and found myself wrapped in a set of cold, hard, muscular arms. I smiled up at my knight in shining armour. God, he was hot.
"Going without me baby?" he grinned down at me, knowing full well that this embarrassed the life out of me, and he was enjoying it. I huffed. Very dignified. It was bad enough that he could smell that my period was due, but the fact that he was so blatantly flaunting it, and in public, had me mortified.
"Fine. But you keep your mouth shut, and no fiddling with any emotions either!" help me, sweet baby Jesus. This was going to be torture. Jazz just grinned.
I all but ran around the store, eventually grabbing what I needed and sped to the till. My face lamed red as I saw that it was a guy working. My age. I gulped. I heard Jazz snickering and gave him a heated look, before gulping in air and walking purposefully to the check out.
I tried my best not to look at the poor boys face, as my cheeks flooded with colour and Jasper added embarrassment onto the clerk.
I let out a long suffering sigh, as I glanced up to meet the guys' eyes, and saw it happen. The embarrassment floored it to make room for the lust to pour in. If this was Jaspers doing, God have mercy on him, cause I sure as Hell wouldn't. I swallowed thickly and feigned ignorance, glancing discreetly at Jasper to see his glaring, obviously unable to change the guy's emotions. Oh fuck, I was on my own.
"Hey sweetheart. It's late to be out here, unguarded." He was practically leering at me, and I felt disgust like no other. I raised my brow, flipping my hair over my shoulder aiming for nonchalance.
"Oh? Well, I guess it's a good thing that my boyfriend gave me a lift," I turned to look at Jasper, only now noticing how much more built her looked compared to this scrawny weasel.
"ain't it, baby?" he sauntered over, glaring at the guy the whole time. He stopped by me and wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me as close to him as physically possible. He smiled sweetly at me, kissing my nose.
"Yea Darlin', it is. But could you hurry up, I want you all to myself again tonight." My cheeks went rosy, a nice affect to the story. By now I could see the jealousy rolling off the clerk in waves and I giggled.
"Sure thing." I kissed him soundly on the mouth before turning back to the clerk. He simply handed me my stuff in a bag and I paid and Jasper gave him another glare, for good measure. When we turned away, Jazz scooped me up bridal style, and kicked the door out of the way whilst leaning down to nuzzle my neck.
I couldn't help but laugh as he deposited me in the car, flitting round to the drivers side to get in. he pulled my hand into his lap, grinning from ear to ear.
"You're bad. You're very bad, my Belly." That started me off on a round of giggles, thinking of the way Jasper had insinuated that he wanted me to spend the night having sex with him. Again.
"Oh, Jazz, you wouldn't believe."
