CHAPTER TWENTYFIVE
(DPOV)
Then he leaned down and kissed me. His lips were soft and his breath smelled so sweet. And the kiss was perfect! Sweet and soft and over! What? He pulled away! His kisses were intoxicating and I wanted more. I let go of his hand, put my arms around his neck and pulled him down to kiss me again. His arms slipped around my waist, pulling me close to him and we continued kissing. I felt all sorts of emotions swirling through me and I knew at that moment Jasper was the one for me. He slowed our kissing down, eventually stopping and held me close to him. I snuggled into his chest and breathed in his scent; God he smelt good. I head him chuckle a bit. I looked up at him and he looked in awe and kissed the top of my head. "We should head inside before my brothers check on us." I nodded, and we walked into the house, hand-in-hand.
Emmett was playing video games and Edward was playing the piano; both didn't even acknowledge us as we walked in. I looked at the clock; it was only 11PM, which was still a little early for me to sleep. Jasper asked if I was hungry, but I wasn't, just thirsty. We went in the kitchen and he got me a soda and joined me at the bar.
Esme walked in, "Did you have a good time tonight?" I nodded and Jasper grinned. "Was the movie good?"
I answered, "It was awesome! Johnny Depp makes a great pirate! Yall should go see it."
"We'll wait until it comes out on DVD probably. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Do you need anything to eat?"
I shook my head, "No, I'm fine. Thanks."
Carlisle came into the kitchen too. "Danielle? Were you serious about moving out of your house tomorrow? I have the day off and would be able to help you move."
"Actually," I said, "I was serious about the moving, but the house I rent is furnished, so there isn't much to move. When I moved here, I had to fit everything in my car, so there are just some suitcases and a few boxes. I did buy some stuff when I moved here, but not much. There is some food there though."
"Do you think everything would fit in your car and the Mercedes?"
I nodded, "Definitely. I'll need a cooler though for the food in the fridge. Do yall have one?"
"We do," answered Carlisle, "So let's plan on Jasper, you and me moving you out of your house tomorrow. Is that okay?" We both nodded.
Esme spoke up, "And Monday Danielle, we'll go grocery shopping and you can show me everything you like. It'll also get the people here used to you; we can start spreading your story around before school starts."
"That's a great idea," Jasper said. I looked at him, confused. "Well," he started, "you look more human than we do. When we start at a new school it can be… difficult the first week until everyone gets used to us being there. Humans subconsciously know we're dangerous and stay away from us. And our looks and money don't help any; the kids think we're all stuck up."
I looked at him, worried. "Do you think they'll like me? Will I make any friends?"
"Of course you will, dear," Esme said as she hugged me. "Didn't you have friends at your old high school?" I nodded. "See? You'll fit in just fine here. I have a feeling you'll be good for my sons; make them interact a little bit more in school," she looked at Jasper, pointedly.
I smiled, then yawned. "Well, I guess I should start winding down. Esme? Did you get me any pajamas?"
"I sure did; they're in the large dresser."
I smiled, "Thank you. I'm going to go get ready for bed." I headed up the stairs to my new room.
I still couldn't believe this was my room. I went over to the large dresser and started opening drawers; the three drawers on top were filled with fancy lingerie in my size! I squealed and kept digging through the drawers. The three drawers in the middle were filled with pajamas. I found an adorable satin set and took it into the bathroom with me. I put my hair up in a ponytail and took a quick shower. I put on my new pajamas and brushed my teeth. I went back in my room and looked around for something to read. I realized there weren't any books or magazines in my room. I left my room and went to Jasper's door and knocked. "Come in," he answered.
He stood up as I entered his room. "Um, I wanted to read some before I went to sleep, but there aren't any books in my room. Could I borrow some from you?"
"Of course," he walked over a huge bookcase and looked at it for a moment. "Well, I'm not sure if I have anything that would interest you, Danielle. I mostly just have Civil War books, which probably don't count as light reading."
I smiled at him, "Yeah, not exactly what I had in mind. Thanks anyway," I said as I turned to leave.
"Wait! I bet Esme has some architecture books in the library. Let me show you." He led me to the door next to Carlisle's office and opened the door. I gasped; he really did mean a library. The room was huge and covered floor to ceiling with books. I walked around the room with my mouth open. I could smell that some of the books were very old. Jasper just watched me walk around the room for a while before he directed me to Esme's books. I grabbed a Michelangelo book, while Jasper selected an Eastern philosophy book and we headed back to my room. I invited him in and we both laid on our stomachs on my bed, reading. I took my time reading, committing everything to memory and found myself nodding off a bit. I sighed and apologized to Jasper, "I'm sorry Jasper, I'm falling asleep."
"Don't apologize for sleeping, Danielle." He took the book from me, marked the page I was on and sat it on the nightstand. I snuggled under the covers and he kissed me on my forehead. "Goodnight, Danielle. Sweet dreams."
I smiled, "Goodnight Jasper. Thank you for a great day." He smiled at me and left my room, closing the door behind him.
