A/N: I looked up the types of marine life you might generally find in the Pacific Northwest so the tide pools are full of the things you would find in actual pools. Gray whales generally migrate from the Bering Sea down to southern waters around California and then around mid March, April and even as late as May they head back up the coast so the two in my story more than likely were in the right place at the right time. And I found the prank on YouTube. :)

also don't forget the Pintrest page, link is in my profile! I almost have it caught up to this chapter! I should have it done by next week. :)

disclaimers: there's nothing for this chapter other than enjoy the lemon, sorry it's quick but I'm sure you understand and of course, I don't own Twilight.

Chapter Twenty-Five

Bella

It's now Sunday and I'm so frustrated and angry I can barely think straight. Edward has sent me something every day this week. Every day! You'd think he'd get the fucking hint with the fact that I throw evey single thing in the trash within his view. I know he's seen me do so with at least three of the things because I could feel him watching me while I did it, but no. He's stubborn and stupid and really starting to piss me right the fuck off and I'm ready to just say the fuck with any form of possible forgiveness and let him die!

Jasper says he has a surprise for me today, but my heart isn't in it. Not even spending all day with him Wednesday making love could brighten my spirits. He promises it will though so I'm just going to go with it.

When we get to the Rez I'm immediately grabbed by Jared and Paul and hauled off to where no one can hear us.

"Hey Bells, we think we've come up with the perfect prank to pull on Jake. You down?" Jared says grinning like a loon. I'll admit his attitude is infectious and I can't help but smile back at him.

"Really?! Oh yeah I'm down! What did you have in mind?"

"Well we thought we could do this prank we found online. You take a package of Oreos and you remove the filling and replace it with toothpaste. You know we eat everything under the sun so it's perfect. We bought several packages and reserved Jake's favorite for just him. The double stuffed is the one you want to stay away from, that sound good to you?" Paul asks.

"Oh man guys that's perfect! When will we do it?"

"It's already done. All we have to do now is wait for him to decide he wants to eat them." Jared says while rubbing his hands together like some cartoon villain.

After we solidify everything Paul hands me a small package he had in his pocket.

"This came for you Friday Bella, Emily asked me to give it to you."

"Thanks Paul." And I take it from him. I already know what it is, Jasper's wedding ring, I just have to keep it hidden from Jasper. We head back to Sam and Emily's. I stop at my truck and place the package in my glove box before heading to the path to the beach, where Jasper is waiting to walk with me down.

"So darlin', you guys have a nice talk?" He says as we begin to walk down the path, the gleam in his eye tells me he knows exactly what we were just talking about. I stop and turn to face him.

"You planned this didn't you? Why?"

"Because I wanted to cheer you up. I hate seeing you angry and withdrawn like you have been all week. Your pain is mine remember. Everything you feel, I feel."

"Oh cowboy I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking about how my feelings would affect you. I was being selfish, wanting to be able to have just one moment where nothing is going wrong. I forgot that I have those moments every time I'm with you. Thank you for this though, I promise I won't forget what I have already anymore. So what else are we doing?"

"Darlin' don't worry about it believe me, I get it. He's pissing me off too. I mean, he's trying to get between me and my mate and if it weren't for the fact that we know it's because he's confused I would be wanting to hunt him down and rip him apart; and you're most welcome. I'll do whatever it takes to make you smile. Including living through a beach party, complete with games, swimming and a barbecue. Tonight there will also be a bonfire on the beach complete with weeny roast and s'mores." Oh I just love this man! I'm already excited about everything! Today will hopefully be wonderfully perfect!

I grab his smiling face and kiss him as hard as I can. He wraps his arms around me and lifts me off my feet in a hug. After about a minute he breaks the kiss and sets me back on my feet. I can't help but get slightly aroused. I mean there's nothing sexier than a man who does things to make his girl happy.

"Also, Charlie thinks you're spending the night with Leah. So I'll get you all night." His smile is dazzling and I'm so happy right now. Edward is quickly shoved to the back of my mind.

We all head down to the beach, where Sam and the others have already set up a volleyball net, a game of cornhole and horseshoes. As well as a couple tables, logs that are really old trees that have drifted up onto the beach at some point around a pile of drift wood stacked in a teepee that will be the bonfire later. Sam is manning the grill, while Emily, Kim and Rachel are setting out the dishes that don't need to be kept cold. Quil and Claire are already down by the water, splashing each other as they get buckets of water to wet the sand further above the water line for a sandcastle.

"Do you want to swim for a bit? The water may be a tad cold but I'm sure you'll get used to it." Jasper asks as he comes up behind me and holds me from behind, his chin on my shoulder.

"Are you going to get in with me?"

"Of course. Did you wear your bathing suit like I asked you to?"

"Of course." Giggling I wriggle out of his grasp and run towards the water, shucking my shirt and shorts as I go, I had already taken my shoes off before stepping on to the beach.

He catches up to me in an instant already out of everything but a pair of swim trunks. Damn vampire speed. He snatches me off my feet and runs, laughing, into the water. Once he reaches about mid thigh he launches me away from him into the water and under I go, screaming all the way. I come up spluttering to hear everyone laughing at me and I can't help but laugh right with them. That's one way to avoid the slow walk into the water to get used to the temperature.

Jasper

So far so good, she's laughing and having fun as we splash each other in the water. I've dived down a few times and brought her up some pretty sea shells and a star fish, I even find an oyster with a pearl inside, which I tuck into the pocket of my trunks. We watch as a sea otter and her pup come and she dives and collects a clam from the bottom and starts using her little rock to break it open to feed on it.

I don't feel any anger or apprehension from Bella, just love, happiness and a hint of arousal. Which I think I can do something about. I move towards her, pick her up- she wraps her legs around my waist- and carry her out of the water and further down the beach towards the huge dead tree that drifted up onto the beach a long time ago. I move around to the other side of it where the others can't see us. I mean this thing is even taller than Jake, that's pretty damn tall.

"Jasper, what are you doing?"

"Alleviating some of that arousal I feel coming from you darlin', trust me?"

"Yes." And with that I push her up against the tree and swiftly move her swim suit bottoms aside granting me easy access to her.

After a quick check to see if she's ready for me, pushing a finger inside to feel just how wet she is already, I position my dick at her entrance. Then I move my arms to wrap my hands around her shoulders, fingers facing me, to hold her in place and I fill her with one quick thrust. She cries out in pleasure which I quickly smother with my lips on hers.

As I push my tongue into her mouth to caress hers I begin to move my hips. This is going to be quick, no foreplay, no slow worship. Never removing my lips from hers I fill her again and again in a fierce pounding rhythm quickly bringing her to the edge. With three more thrusts I've pushed her over it and she's contracting around me clenching my cock in a vice grip with the muscles of her pussy and it's just enough to push me hurtling over the edge with her.

Panting I lift my lips from hers and release the grip I have on her. She's still spasming around me as we stand there for a few minutes, both coming down from the high.

"Wow, Jasper. That was... perfect! Thank you. I really needed that."

"My pleasure ma'am." I tell her as I pull out of her and quickly move her bottoms back into place. "I didn't hurt you did I? I know my grip on your shoulders may leave some bruises."

"No I'm not hurt. My lips feel a little swollen but otherwise I'm fine. I love you."

"I love you too darlin'. Come on we should get back." And with those words I feel her embarrassment. "Darlin', before we moved over here I saw Jared and Kim, Paul and Rachel and Sam and Emily disappear. Trust me, we aren't the only ones who snuck off." She grins at me then and the embarrassment fades away just as swiftly as it appeared.

"Seems I'm not the only one who can't keep their hands to themselves huh?"

"Definitely not." And with that I move us back to the other side of the tree and we head back to the party. I can see Jake is still manning the grill the others I saw sneak off not too long before Bella and I, are still not back yet.

"Make a sandcastle with me while we wait for the others?" At that I realize I haven't made a sandcastle since I was a boy, during one of my family's rare trips to the coast.

"Sure, that sounds great." While I fill a couple buckets with water she picks out a spot where we can be close to the shore line but far enough away that the tide won't wash away our creation.

We get started on our castle and as we build I can't help but have fun. Now I remember why kids love this so much. To build something from your imagination is thrilling and by the time we're done we have a huge, four turreted castle complete with moat and drawbridge made of a piece of drift wood. As we're surveying our handy work Sam calls that the food is done, they all must have come back while we were building.

"Hey, do you guys want to go look at the tidal pools after we eat? It'll give us time to digest the meal before we play a game of volleyball." Quil asks.

"That sounds great." And everyone nods their heads in agreement to my words.

They finish up their plates, and throw away their trash. Just as Bella gets up to put her shorts and shoes back on for the hike Jared comes over and gives her a quick nudge in the ribs. Glancing in the direction he's nodding his head we both turn to see Jake picking up the package of double stuffed Oreos. As he does I get hit with a huge dose of excitement. Everyone has stopped to watch him and I know, this must be what Jared and Paul had told Bella about earlier. I knew they planned something, just not what. Looks like Bella is about to get her revenge.

Bella

Oh man! Jake is getting ready to eat the Oreos! This is going to be hilarious! We watch as he opens the package, he hasn't turned around yet so he has no idea he has an audience. I watch as Quil and Jared pull their phones out to record what's fixing to happen.

He takes out three Oreos, clearly getting ready to stuff them all in his mouth at once. I cringe as he sets the package down and does just that. The second he closes his mouth his brow furrows and a frown graces his features. Then he bites into the cookies and the reaction is immediate! His bronze face actually takes on a green hue and he begins to frantically look around for a place to spit out the cookies.

He runs towards the place where the drift wood logs, where they get the logs for us to sit on and the wood for the fire usually, meet the grasses that surround the beach and immediately bends over and starts spitting out the cookies, coughing and spluttering. Tears are streaming down his face and he looks ready to puke. Finally getting all the offending detritus from his mouth he stands; and that's when he realizes he's been had. He whirls around glaring at all of us to see the two phones and immediately he starts shouting.

"What in the hell did you do that for!? Waisting perfectly good Oreos! Are you all fucking insane!" His face is now red, nostrils flared, fists clenched and he's shaking. Clearly trying to control his anger and not phase.

Now I know that this moment could go one of two ways. He could phase and attack, or calm enough to see the humor. You would think that I would be smart enough to see this and keep my mouth shut. Nope! Taking in every thing I can't help the giggle that bubbles up from my chest. It soon becomes a full roar hands on knees, tears streaming down my cheeks, belly laugh. I'm laughing so hard I actually fall to my knees, hugging myself trying to stay upright.

The next thing I know his glare is on me and a split second later he's laughing right along with me. The tension soon leaves everyone and we're all laughing uncontrollably. Finally having laughed myself out I stand up.

"Come on, lets get to those tidal pools." After everyone collects themselves we head up the beach where the tide, when it rises, meets the rocky outcroppings. The tide is out right now and there are little pools all over the place. They're teeming with different creatures that have been caught until the tide comes back in.

Things like razor clams, sea stars, limpets, chitons, hermit crabs, sea cucumbers and-most abundant- sea urchins. Their spiny bodies undulating as they move along the rocks. A little fish known as a blenny is flitting around in the pool Jasper and I are looking at. As well as a couple of the colorful chitons, a hermit crab and a pretty pinkish colored sea star. We watch as the little fish flits around the pool, me leaning against him with his arm around my shoulders.

"Have you had a good day so far darlin'?"

"Oh yes Jasper, today has been wonderful. It's not over though." And immediately thoughts of all the ways Edward can ruin it rush through my mind. Immediately Jasper turns me to face him, hands gently cupping my face.

"He's not going to ruin today if you don't let him. No matter what may happen the rest of today, he's not important. What is, is to just enjoy the rest of the day. Ok?"

"You're right. He's not important. Thanks cowboy." He places a gentle kiss on my lips and we move to another pool. This one has a purple urchin in it. As well as a number of limpet and a sea cucumber.

After about an hour we all head back down to our spot on the beach. The boys decide to play a game of volleyball, while we girls play some cornhole and Jasper and Sam play horseshoes. The boys start to get a little rough and the moment Quil is pushed down while Jake is going after the ball, a little two year old bundle of terror known ad Claire makes her way onto the 'court' and makes a beeline for Jake and kicks him in the shin, after which she immediately begins crying.

It's apparent she's tired and ready for a nap so Quil picks her up, rubbing soothing circles on her back and speaking quiet words I can't hear, and then takes her and sits down under a big umbrella he sets up to shade Claire from the glare of the sun while she's sleeping. Some of us, mainly the pack and Emily, grab some more food. Jasper and I lay on a couple beach towels wrapped in each others arms under another umbrella he set up.

After a refreshing nap, Sam goes to start the bonfire, but before he can one of the boys shouts out. Looking where he's pointing we watch in amazement as a pair of Gray whales, a mother and her calf, swim by in front of us. She's doing what's known as 'spy hopping', they're beautiful! We watch as they continue on their journey to wherever they may be going.

After the excitement over the whales Sam lights the fire and we watch as the drift wood begins to burn green and blue. I always loved this part about our bonfires, the colors the drift wood creates.

"Are you hungry darlin'?"

"A little yeah. Could you bring me a couple of the hot dogs?"

"Sure, I'll be right back."

Within seconds he's back with two and a stick with two branches at the top, perfect to put the hot dogs on and roast them together. It's not long before they're done and I go back up to the tables to put some ketchup and mustard and shredded cheese on them. A little coleslaw and some baked beans and I head back to the fire and sit down in front of my man, resting between his legs my head resting on his belly.

I finish my food and toss my trash onto the fire. Moving back to Jasper I see he has moved off the log to sit in front of it and lean back against it. I sit down between his raised knees and lean back against him again and he wraps his arms around me, resting his chin on my shoulder, kissing me in that sensitive spot behind my ear causing shivers to travel up and down my spine.

After a few minutes Embry comes around with a bag of marshmallows, a bar of chocolate and a package of graham crackers; and a new stick for me to use to roast the marshmallows. Jasper and I sit in a comfortable silence, just soaking in one another's presence. Today has been utterly perfect. No worries, no Edward, just the friends and family I love spending time together having a good time. I wish it never had to end.

Edward

I'll let them have this day, I don't want to chance going onto Rez lands but there's a cliff face just outside the boundary line that affords me a perfect view. The sight of her and Jasper having sex makes me want to go down there and rip him apart but while the pack is with them that would be suicide. I can do nothing but rage from afar. I'm getting tired of being ignored, of watching her rip up my notes and throw away my gifts. You'd think she'd be grateful I still even want her. After being sullied by my 'brother'.

So far my plans haven't gone the way I wished them and so I need to regroup and figure out something else. Obviously the bombardment of gifts and notes with pretty words has done the exact opposite of what I wanted. Even I could sense how angry Bella has gotten and I'm not the empath. Maybe if I leave her alone for the rest of the time before they fake her death, she'll be more apt to listen to me later?

I have a plan for that of course, I will be following them to his friends place, since it seems as if I won't be getting her back before then. I have to free her from that monster before he changes her and she's damned to this life forever. I'll give this notes and gifts thing until the wedding, if it hasn't worked by then then I'll just stop and see if leaving her alone will work. Maybe she'll get curious enough to try and contact me again.

I watch them frolic and play until I can stand their happiness no longer and go off into the forest to find some prey to take my frustrations out on. All that I can do is plan and wait. I can't directly plan certain things yet, thanks to Alice, but I can at least pick my numerous options. She'll only be able to possibly tell them what I'm thinking and not what I decide. I'll never truly choose to follow them so she can't alert them to my being there and Jasper never letting his guard down because of it.

At least what I'm doing now is working, Alice hasn't been able to tell them anything so far. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, they'll never see me coming in the end and I'll get my love back.
