Chapter 38
Mike had been charged with being an accessory to kidnap and he also got some time for having a sizable amount of drugs in his possession. He was going to be in jail for a little while.
Two weeks later, Bella was back home resting comfortably.
Even if she had no say in the matter.
Jasper had become a permanent fixture in her life. He had given her a month of and was spending every spare moment he had with her. He was driving her crazy.
Only immediate family were allowed to see her, all else could call.
"Jasper," Bella huffed. "I am not a baby."
He had ignored her, "You're my Baby."
Bella was going stir crazy, plus she needed to talk to Alice. She had to tell her friend about her discovery.
"When is your mother coming?" Bella asked as Jasper handed her a glass of juice.
"In a few minutes," he replied sitting on the edge of the bed.
Esmé had collected Bella's things from the hotel and had them holding since they'd been back.
"Why?" he asked.
"I need my laptop," Bella said rolling her eyes at him.
Jasper leaned over and tweaked her nose. "You're not working."
"I have other things to do on there you know, like my e-mail, games, reading, anything!"
"You have tons of books here," Jasper said with a smirk.
Bella mumbled under her breath. She was gonna kill him.
"What was that?" he asked the smirk turning into a full smile.
"Go clean the windows or something and leave me be," she growled.
"You're so cute when you try to be angry," Jasper said kissing her softly.
Bella rolled her eyes again and reached for him to deepen the kiss. However the doorbell chose that time to ring; Jasper pulled away with a chuckle.
"Look's like your calvary has arrived," he said going to answer the door.
Bella bounded out of the bed and followed him, waving at Esmé as Jasper closed the door.
"Bella darling, how are you feeling?" Esmé asked embracing her.
"Trying not to murder your son," Bella answered with a grin.
"Still being a mother hen?" Esmé asked with a smile.
"Mother hens have nothing on this man," Bella said with a groan. "I swear Esmé, I can't even go to the bathroom without security detail."
"I'm only looking out for you," Jasper said coming to usher Bella to the couch.
"Jasper!" Bella cried as he sat her on the couch.
Esmé laughed. "Jasper, she's fine, give the girl a break will you?"
"But mom..." he started but closed his mouth when his mother and Bella glared at him.
He held up his hand in defense, "I can see that I'm out numbered here. I'm going to take a shower while you two catch up," he said leaving the two alone.
"Apart from my insufferable son, how are you feeling really?" Esmé asked when they were finally alone.
"I feel perfectly fine," Bella said tucking her feet under her. "I need to go back to work or at least get out of the house. I'm going crazy."
"Why don't you let me deal with that," Esmé said shaking her head.
"Thank you," Bella said with a heavy sigh.
"I brought over your laptop, I know you were probably going crazy without it," Esmé said, handing it to Bella.
"You have no idea," Bella said.
"Well I've got to go take some lunch for Carlisle at the hospital before heading to the spa," Esmé said standing.
Bella stood and walked Esmé to the door, giving the older woman a hug as they said their good-byes. Bella closed the door and headed back to the couch and flipped open her laptop. It booted up and Bella said a silent 'Thank you' to Esmé, who had obviously put the machine to charge.
She opened her email and her eyes widened as she saw a message from CountryBoy. It was sent two weeks ago, the night she got attacked. She looked around and listened for any sign of Jasper's return and when she was satisfied that he was still somewhere in the bedroom, she clicked the message.
The message was short, but the emotion in it was palpable. Bella's eyes filled with tears as she re-read the message. She was so entranced with it she didn't hear Jasper enter the room.
"What are you looking at?" he asked as he sat next to her.
Bella gasped and slammed the laptop shut.
"Jesus Jazz, you scared the bejeezus out of me," she said grasping her chest.
Jasper chuckled and pulled her into his arms, "Sorry Angel," he said kissing her forehead.
Angel.
CountryBoy.
Jasper.
She had to tell him the truth, but how?
Jasper looked down at her and noticed the tears. "Are you ok?"
Bella blinked and forced a smile. "I'm fine, just...can you please call Alice?"
Jasper grabbed the phone and dialed the number. Bella listened as he spoke quietly in to the phone before he hung up and turned back to her.
"She and Edward are coming over, they're going to bring some chinese ok?"
Bella swallowed and buried her face in the crook of his neck with a nod.
"Are you sure you're alright?" he asked again.
"I'm good, just missing Alice I guess," she said snuggling closer as he lifted her into his lap.
"I love you," he whispered as he peppered kisses all over her face.
"Love you too," she whispered back, and stayed wrapped in his arms until Edward and Alice arrived a few minutes later.
"Are you ok?" Alice asked as she sat cross-legged on Bella's bed.
Bella shook her head and showed Alice the message.
"Wow, this guy's really in love huh?" Alice asked.
"Ally, you have to promise me," Bella said.
"Promise you what?" Alice asked, confused.
"Promise me you won't say anything," Bella continued.
"I promise, although I'm a bit confused," Alice said with a small frown. Bella had been acting all weird; at first she had thought Jasper was exaggerating, but now that she was here, she could see it for herself.
"B, tell me what's going on," she said reaching out to touch her friend's hand.
"I'm in love with Jasper," Bella said.
Alice smiled, "Um B, you're a little late on that one."
Bella shook her head, "And I'm in love with him," she gestured to the laptop.
Alice's eyes widened, "With cyber-dude?" she squeaked.
"Shhh," Bella hissed nodding her head towards the bedroom door.
"Sorry," Alice said softly. "You're in love with cyber-dude?"
Bella nodded wringing her hands in her lap.
"Oy," Alice said slapping her palm against her forehead.
"There's more," Bella said looking at her friend.
"What?" Alice asked.
"I know who cyber-dude is," Bella said.
"You do?! Who is he?" Alice asked jumping off the bed.
"He's...well the thing is," Bella started.
"Isabella Marie Swan, just spill," Alice said.
"Cyber-dude is Jasper," Bella said quietly.
Alice was quiet for a bit, and Bella looked up to make sure her friend was still breathing. Boy, was she shocked to see a huge smile on Alice's face.
"Well it's about time you figured that shit out," she said.
It took a few moments for it to register in Bella's brain and then she sucked in a breath and stared at her friend in shock.
"You knew?" she asked shakily.
Alice's smile got bigger, if that was possible.
"You knew!"
A/N: Yes the sneaky little Pixie knew...duh lol. I smell an out-take coming and then things get a bit heated. Jazz and I have been practicing the scene. *winks*
