Chapter 4
Bella and the others asked me to go to La Push. I kindly declined them saying I had homework and studying to do. Truth be told, I wanted to see Jasper.
I laid in my bed that day. I texted Jasper what my plans are, which is to do nothing. I also asked if he wanted to hang out. I was waiting on his response.
Finally I got it.
I'd love too, but my family and I are going out today. I'm sorry.
I felt sad that I wasn't going to hang with him, but I shrugged it off.
No, you're fine. Are we still on for hanging out the day after tomorrow? I hope you have fun with your family. I miss you.
I got up from my bed and went over to my computer. Maybe I should just research things just to make Bella happy. I read his text when I received it.
As of right now yes. Let's just hope Edward and Bella don't argue. I'd rather be with you, but I do need this. I miss you too. Talk to you later.
I replied back to him.
I hope I'm not smothering you. Bye. – X
Now, time to google shit.
I went to google and decided on typing in cold hands. Let's see.
I scrolled through my results and got nothing but medical stuff. It pretty much says what I already know. Okay what about golden eyes?
Great. My results are about birds. Yes, Jasper Hale is a fucking bird with cold hands. That's what I'll say.
I remembered what I said before. I told Bella about vampires. Maybe if I type in vampires I could look up more about them.
Ah, Wikipedia. Let's read what you have to say.
"A vampire is a mythical being who subsists by feeding on the life essence of living creatures." I read aloud. "Let's see…maybe I should look up how vampires look."
I typed in appearance of vampires into google.
"Eyes, vampires that feed off humans have red eyes." I frowned. Jasper doesn't have red eyes. "When a vampire is hungry their eyes turn black. He must not drink human blood if that's the case…" Jasper has had black eyes before. I don't see anything about golden or amber eyes. "Skin, vampires are very pale. The skin is very cold to touch. Flaws, humans can't see any flaws on vampires. To a human, vampires are very beautiful people. Yeah, Jasper is really handsome." I sighed. "What am I doing? This is silly, but maybe it'll get Bella off my back."
I rubbed at my eyes. Deciding that was enough, I exit out of the window and turned off the screen. There was an image of Jasper on the black screen. I turned around quickly and saw that there was no one there.
What the fuck?
Later that night I got a call from Bella.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Okay, so…I might have an idea on what they are. Look up pale faces or cold ones." Bella sounded like she was rushing and also confused.
"Okay, Bella…you need to calm down. You're acting crazy." Is she though? After all, I did just envision Jasper in my room hours ago.
"Please, just do it."
"Look, I also looked up stuff when you were at La Push…" I told Bella everything I looked up and found.
"Black eyes. Sometimes the Cullen's have black eyes."
I sighed in the phone. "Bella, they also have amber eyes. I found nothing on that."
"Maybe they don't drink human blood?" She suggested.
"Look, get some sleep. We'll do some more research later. Okay?"
"Alright, goodnight." Bella said and hung up.
Bella and I were outside with the rest of the school. It was a sunny day and the sun felt nice on my skin. I was looking around for Jasper and couldn't find him.
I took out my phone and decided to text him.
Hey, where are you? Come sit with me. I'm over by Bella and Jessica sitting at the picnic table.
"They aren't here." I heard Jessica say.
"Hm?" I asked.
"The Cullen's, they aren't here. On nice days like this, Dr. Cullen takes them out of school and goes on hikes with them." Jessica answered me.
Another day of being with the family. I sighed. I felt my phone buzz and I read Jasper's text.
I'm not at school. I'm surprised you didn't figure that out before.
I responded back.
I don't always look for you. Also, I just thought you were busy today or whatever. Jessica just informed me on what your dad and mom do. Sorry to bother you. Enjoy your hiking trip. :)
I put my phone on silent. Did he not want to hang with me at all? Was he even interested in me or am I a just for now girl?
"We should go shopping for dresses in Port Angeles before all the good dresses get sold." Jessica said.
Oh right…prom.
"Oh I like this one. It makes my boobs look good." Jessica said when she came out in a pink dress.
I looked at it and thought way too much boob showing but okay. There was a knock on the window and a group of guys made cat calls and winked at all of us.
I took out my phone and saw I had three text messages from Jasper.
I hope you're not mad at me. You usually send kisses and today you haven't.
Are you trying to ignore me?
Prom dress shopping? Are you going to prom? With who?
How did he know I was prom dress shopping. Well, really I'm just here to support Jessica and Angelia. I decided to text him back.
Jasper, I am not mad at you. I'm not shopping. I'm here with Jessica, Angela and Bella. Bella and I are helping them pick out dresses. It's boring. Come save me? ;)
Oh by the way… - There all the kisses I didn't give you today. Better?
I smiled when I saw his text back.
If you want, you and I could go together? I wouldn't mind taking you. Maybe that night I could get to see you take it off? It's almost better. I'll have you make it up to me in person.
I shivered when I read about me taking off my dress for him.
Behave yourself, Jasper Hale. Don't make me beat you up! :) – x
I tried hard to not laugh when I read his next message.
I'd love to see you try, Ma'am. I'll behave how I want to. Right now, I'd love to have you to myself. Maybe I should go save you.
"Hey, I'm going to go to the book store." Bella said when she stood up. She turned to me and poked my forehead, making me look up at her. "You should come." Her look made me feel like she was insisting.
"Alright, see you two later." I said and walked out with Bella.
We walked out of the bookstore. She bought books about vampires and shit like that. Why am I friends with the crazy girl? Right, because I am crazy too.
"Oh, I'll be right back! I left my bag in there." I said and ran back inside.
I found my bag on a table and grabbed it. I walked outside quickly and found men surrounding Bella. What the hell?
"What the fuck?" I shouted and hurried down to Bella.
"Oh, she has a friend." A man sneered out. "She's feisty too."
"Oh, fuck off." I said.
Another man grabbed my left arm and squeezed it. I yelped a bit out of shock.
A car came screeching into the parking lot. I saw Jasper and Edward come out of the car. They looked super pissed.
With my right hand, I punched the guy right in the cheek and nose area, not caring that it hurt me. He went down to the ground, letting me go.
"You piece of shit." I spat out and walked over to Jasper.
His eyes were dark and he looked like he was going to kill them. I grabbed his arm and tugged it.
"Get in the car." Edward commanded to Bella and I.
We followed instructions and got in the car. I got in the back and Bella got into the passenger seat.
Whatever they did to the men made them scurry off. Jasper was by my side in no time and Edward was in the driver's seat too.
He backed out of the parking lot and made a slight growl noise. "Lori, can you please calm him down?" It was more of a demand.
I looked over at Jasper and my heart sank. This wasn't the Jasper I know.
"Jasper…" I whispered out and supped his cheek, trying to turn his head to me. It didn't budge. Breathing in courage I got onto his lap, sitting face to face with him. I took his face in my hands and kissed him right on the lips.
My eyes were closed but I knew he was relaxing immediately. His arms wrapped around me and brought me closer to his body. Jasper opened his mouth more and went into my mouth with his tongue.
Oh no. Not here. I tried to pull away, but I couldn't. He was stronger than me.
I tapped at his shoulder, needing to breathe. I guess he figured it out and let me go for maybe a few second before crashing into my mouth again.
I tugged at his hair and pulled back, this time it worked. "Hi." I breathed out.
Jasper ran a thumb over my cheek, wiping away a tear. When did I start crying?
"Are you okay?" He asked me quietly. I nodded in response. "I can't let you out of my sight now." He chuckled out.
I smiled at him and kissed his nose. "I guess that means you'll be sleeping in bed with me?" I gave him a cheeky grin.
"If it pleases you…"
"Hey, Lovebirds…" Edward spoke. "I'm going to take Bella out to eat. Are you hungry at all, Lori?"
Not for food. "No." I answered.
I heard Edward chuckle and then he responded to me. "I can't wait…"
"Huh?" Bella asked.
I was too busy paying attention to Jasper at this point. He was the center of my world again and hopefully I was his.
"What are we?" I asked quietly.
"What do you mean?"
"Are we dating? Am I your girlfriend and you are my boyfriend?" I ran my finger over his soft lips. Wow, they were very soft and fun to kiss.
He kissed my finger and took it away to respond. "If you're fine with it, I'd like you to be my girlfriend."
I gave him a playful sigh. "I guess."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned onto him. My face hid in the crook of his neck.
He was smooth as stone. There was no give in his skin. His lips gave in slightly. He was cold, until my body touched him. The spots where I touched warmed up slightly.
"Don't leave me alone…" My voice made it seem like I was begging. Was I?
"Never…" He whispered and held me closer to his body.
