Author note: Okay, I really don't have anything to say, but if you guys got any questions just let me know Okay? Enjoy.
Edward POV
"I don't care." I said it over and over, attempting to engrain it into her skull.
"But he-" Bella began.
"I don't care," I said cutting her off.
"I'm use-" She began again.
"Nope, I don't care." I said cutting her off again.
This is how the conversation has been going for the last half-hour.
I apologized to her for being a complete an utter asshole and for making her feel like something like this would affect the way I felt about her. Lastly I told her that I loved her.
This is where the argument began.
For some reason Bella was having a difficult time understanding that I loved her, that I could possibly love her even after I knew her most shameful secret.
How could I not love her?
She occupied my every thought, my every dream, and my every thing.
"Edward maybe you don't understand correctly, maybe you don't get it." Bella said softly, looking down embarrassed, trying for some reason to convince that she was unworthy of me.
"Bella, I know and none of it was your fault, how can you think that I could hold something like that against you?
This is something that was done to you, not with your consent, Bella I don't know how else to explain this!
I love you; I am in love with you I will do anything for you and I don't think I can stand you trying to explain to me one more time that you are unworthy!
Okay? Please Bella? " I said lifting her chin so that she was facing me.
She hadn't cried once since our conversation began as I expected.
She had thought she had to explain the whole thing to me because she had no clue about the talk Jasper and I had the day before, and she expected me to run away now, she expected my disgust, yet she hadn't cried once.
Until now, when I lifted her chin tears flowed freely down her cheeks, and still she never looked more beautiful.
She also hadn't said that she loved me too.
Only that I was mistaken in loving her.
"Edward, I am sorry I brought all this mess with me, but I love you too. So much it feels like I might crack and crumble into a million pieces, and it would be okay because I would be doing it for you." She said her voice cracking as a sob broke through.
My heart soared and broke at the same time.
"That's settled then." I said.
"What's settled?" Bella asked.
"That we're in love." I said kissing her.
She nodded and rested her head on my arm.
Jasper POV
"So what in the world are we to do about that beast?" Alice asked lounging across my bed, her legs dangling over my lap.
Her question failed to sink through my fascination with her feet.
Was everything about this creature perfect? Even her feet were a dainty little piece of heaven.
The small pale toes painted a hot candy bright pink.
I know I should be worrying about Bella, but when Alice is this close to me everything else is shot to hell.
Alice clears her throat.
Another glance at her toes, my mouth waters.
Man, I am such a creep!
"Jasper?" Alice says.
"Sorry what?" I say.
" I said what are we gonna do about that asshole? You seem like you're in a daze or something, are you okay?" Alice asks looking genuinely concerned.
"Oh, sorry, I am okay, just a bit distracted you know." I say turning away from her for a moment in an attempt to clear my head.
"I understand you're worried about Bella." She says rubbing my arm.
I practically shiver.
What the hell is wrong with me? Alice is going to drive me crazy at this rate.
"Uhm, yeah well I have several thoughts on how to deal with James, but they all involve bodily harm that could put me in jail." I say thinking of James to distract me from the gorgeous little pixy on my bed.
"Well we will have to think of something, I don't think Edward will be able to function properly if that creep is prowling the campus." Alice says and she absently runs her hands through my hair.
Tingles run from my scalp throughout my body.
I turn back to her and her bottom lip is slightly red from her nervous gnawing.
I can't take it anymore.
I reach over and pull her all the way across my lap and before she can even react, I kiss her.
I kiss her like I have dreamt of doing hundreds of times and she kisses me back.
Her hands are ripping at my hair now and her lips crushing down on mine deliciously.
I can hardly believe that this soft little thing has the ability to kiss so hard, but I loved every second of it.
My hands are firmly on her hips, but they want to wander, they want to explore her entire body, they want to feel her sweat and the rhythm of her breathing, want, and want, and want.
A little sense finally overcomes us and we hesitantly break apart gasping for air, her lips now bright cherry red.
"Sorry about that, I didn't mean to attack you like that, I just could not control myself anymore." I said confessing a little embarrassed that I had behaved like such a moron.
Alice's face is flushed and her eyes look a little cloudy.
"Don't you be sorry Jasper Whitlock! I have been dying to do that for weeks now." Alice said.
"You have?" I ask surprised.
"Of course, but I don't want you to think that I am like that with everyone. I have never kissed anyone I haven't been dating for at least a month, guys used to get mad because I would take so long to let them kiss me, but with you! I have been fighting myself not to attack you!" Alice said.
I was kinda speechless, I mean I knew how I felt for her, but I never expected that she would ever feel the same. Alice freaking Cullen actually likes messed up Jasper!
"Okay this is gonna sound really off but bare with me okay?" Alice said.
I nod, still not capable of coherent speech.
"Well, the moment I meet you I kinda got this feeling I never got before." Alice said looking slightly embarrassed.
"What was the feeling?" I croaked.
"Uh, I felt like instantly drawn to you and I got the feeling that we would be together, well I know this sounds really dumb Jasper so don't laugh! But I got the feeling like we were destined to be together, like everything was coming together, like you were what i had been waiting for. I don't know, I think dumb things sometimes but I just thought I would tell you that, you're probably going to run for the hills now but hey at least I got it off my chest." Alice said really fast, so fast in fact I had difficulty catching the last bit.
"Alice I don't know what to say." I said softly.
"Oh please don't say anything, or I will be horribly embarrassed!" Alice said.
"Just let me confess a little something of my own which you can easily verify with Bella, I have had the biggest crush, no scratch that, obsession. I have been obsessed with you since freshman year in high school.
Bella and me would even drive by your house some days just in hopes that I might catch a glimpse of you.
We stopped at your house before we came here to sort of say goodbye when I thought I would never see you again." I said feeling my face go red.
Alice on the other hand had the biggest smile on her face.
"Really? You liked me? You better not be joking!" Alice said grabbing my arm shaking me playfully to make sure I wasn't lying.
"You can ask Bella! I wouldn't lie about something that humiliating! I feel like a loser now. But you told me about your feeling so I had to tell you something too." I said.
"Well thanks, and I know this is a little quick, you and me but, I really really like you."
Alice said softly and leaned in to kiss me again. This kiss was much gentler and the softness of her body was more apparent as she pressed into me.
She broke away and said, "Scratch that, I don't care if it's weird to say it, I love you."
"Alice I love you too, weird or not I love you." I said.
We both stayed quiet for a good stretch of time, just enjoying the freedom a few words can grant.
Alice spoke first breaking the silence.
"So are you my boyfriend then?" She asked looking over at me eyes questioning.
I laughed just because it sounded funny coming from her.
"Uh, I hope so, or do I have to ask you to go steady first or something like that?" I said still laughing.
This earned me a sharp smack on the arm.
"Yes Alice I hope you consider me your boyfriend, because I am going to be referring to you as my girl and it will be a little weird if you dispute me." I said.
"I don't care what anyone thinks, your mine now!" Alice said laughing.
Alice POV
He loves me.
He said it.
I don't care about anything right now, he loves me and I love him.
Weird or not.
He is mine bitches.
Back off!
Hey guys hope you liked it, and thank you for being so patient waiting for the chaps, sorry I am so slow!
