Previously in Chapter 3:

I love this woman. We all broke up into our respective couples for the evening and I took Bella to the local discount store, since it was late enough department stores were open and we weren't really picky. It was supposed to be a quick and easy trip to the store, but of course, nothing with Bella is ever quick or easy.

Chapter 4:

Jasper's POV (always)

As we pushed the beds together, happy in thought that we had a king bed and didn't have to wait for stupid full sized ones, I thought about our little shopping trip. We used a create-a-king filler for between the beds and laid a nice thick foam mattress pad down to make it more even and comfortable. I had just wanted to run in and out and get home so I could have my wicked way with my woman.

Nothing seems to be going my way lately though.

"Bella!" a voice called from somewhere behind us as we made our way towards the bedding aisle. We both turned to look; unfortunately I already knew who it was- the boy whose name I had learned was Brett. He was in Bella's group this morning, the one who had looked and felt way too pissed and jealous, for having just met Bella.

Bella gave him a bit of a curious look, wondering much like me, why he bothered to call out to her in the middle of the store. Only I knew. His jealousy and even some anger filtered in, along with his happiness at seeing her at the store. I could already tell this guy was going to be a problem. Fuck my life.

"Brett?" she asked as his stocky 6 foot frame moved towards us hurriedly, as though he was afraid we'd leave without talking to him. In my case, that's exactly what I wanted to do. I wrapped a possessive and protective arm around Bella's shoulders, adding my cocky smirk as he reached us.

"Evenin'," I drawled, making sure to get his attention. He gave me a quick glare that thankfully Bella caught as she stiffened.

"Brett?" she asked again, perplexed.

"Hi Bella. What are you doin' here?" He pushed his brown slightly shaggy hair back out of his face but it just fell back where it was.

"Uhh…shopping." The look she gave me was one that said get me the hell out of here.

With pleasure my lady.

"So Brett, I'm sure you got shopping to do too. We'll see you 'round." I turned Bella with my arm and began to lead her away, but he was not to be deterred apparently. His anger and frustration flashed.

"Wait!" he called and we turned back to him, happy to have some distance between us.

"Are you going to the party tonight?" he asked, looking at me. Clearly, he didn't want to invite me, but he knew that wasn't an option.

Good boy, you're gettin' it.

"Oh, uh-" she looked up at me. If she wanted to go, I'd let her of course. I wasn't her keeper, well I kind of was, but that's her choice. I just shrugged, letting her know it was up to her. "No. I wasn't planning on it. I'm not much of the party type." She shrugged.

"Oh come on! It'll be fun. You can bring Jackson and let loose, you're in college now. Daddy doesn't need to know."

Well fuck me running, how much did he know about Bella?

"Jasper," Bella corrected, wrapping her arm around my waist. "His name is Jasper. And I think we'll pass," she said through gritted teeth.

'Yeah, insulting me isn't warming her to you buddy,' I thought with an obvious smirk in his direction.

He immediately became nervous, but it wasn't because of me, it was because he fucked up and he knew it. "Sorry, Jasper. Sorry." He nodded his head in my direction as an apology. Too bad, I didn't want it and I didn't care. My arm was around the only thing I care about and she was getting cranky.

"I think we should go, darlin'," I muttered into her ear but loud enough that he could hear. "Have a good evenin', Br-ett." I nodded in his direction and began to lead Bella away again. I felt his anger flare.

He muttered, "Fuck!" under his breath as we walked away and I knew Bella didn't hear.

"Is he gonna be a problem?" I asked her, knowing he was, but wanting her assessment.

"No, Jasper. I don't even really like him. He was just in my group this morning. We talked. We all did. Pete was great at networking," she laughed, air quoting her last word.

"Pete huh? Sounds like that guy knew an awful lot about you, darlin'." She pulled away from me and I got the look that said I was just dug myself a hole. Fuck.

"What is that supposed to mean, Jasper? You didn't make any friends? You didn't have to work with and meet people, talk about yourself at all today?"

Yep, she was pissed.

"Darlin'-"

"Don't darlin' me. We talked, they got some of my background; if you are jealous or want to insinuate something, just don't bother. Say what you have to say!"

"Fine. He likes ya, too much. He's jealous o' me an' angry at you for havin' me. It's a bad combination and he is gonna be a problem. So be prepared." I glared at her. This wasn't something to fuck around with. Of course, she rolled her eyes and walked on, scoffing at me as she went.

"Bella, I'm serious. He is gonna cause us problems. He already is. I don' wanna fight. I wanna get our shit an' get outta here and get you into bed so I can show ya exactly how much I love ya an' how much I've missed sharin' a bed wit' you for the last 2 nights." I caught up with her easily, pulling her back to me with my hands on her hips, until our bodies were flush.

"I love you," I breathed into her ear and saw the telltale shivers run through her body.

"I love you, too." She turned in my arms and laced her hands behind my neck. "I don't want to fight either. I just want this to work out. Rose and Char are miserable. Pete is having a grand time and Emmett is somewhere in the middle. I'm trying to have fun, but I feel bad having fun if one of you is miserable since you all are doing this for me."

"Listen Bella, we are doin' it for you. I'm not gonna lie. But the thing with Rose and Char, well they'll be fine. It wouldn't even be bad if it wasn't for their hearing. It's hard to hear people calling you names, making fun of you, talking about wanting to fuck you, and so on. But we learn to live with it. Usually, we can get away from it if we want. They are just upset because they feel obligated to stay and deal with it silently. Tomorrow will be a new day and new groups and hopefully, it'll be better for them." I hugged Bella close, rubbing my body against hers.

"Now, can we do what we came here to do?" I asked with a smirk and another grind.

She agreed willingly but it wasn't over.

"Jasper?" she asked as we were standing at the checkout.

"Hmm?"

"Can we go to the party? Just for a little bit? I want to see what it's like." I nodded, anything for her, but that didn't mean I was happy about it. That little prick will think he won and that was not going to make me happy.

As we climbed into the car, she told me where she thought it was. Go figure, Greek street, it was a fraternity. There were people all over, parties at almost every house it seemed. The alcohol, lust, and stupidity reeked, if stupidity has a smell that is. I put on a happy smile as we arrived to the house she said she thought it was at.

People were milling about outside, carrying various drinks and in varying degrees of inebriation. It was almost 11pm by the time we got there and I had hoped to just go to bed, as stupid as that sounds, since I don't sleep.

I recognized several people from my group and Bella's group. A few waved hands and we were inside. The stench was awful, vomit and alcohol mostly intermixed with dirty, sweaty boy. I couldn't help the distasteful look I gave it but luckily Bella didn't see. She was nervous and excited as she looked around. One of the other boys from her table, Jack waved us over and I followed her lead, making it a point to promise myself that I would not let go of her.

"Bella, hey how's it goin' girl?" the tall skinny guy with short dark blond hair asked. I took note that he wasn't that intoxicated, but he held a beer bottle loosely in his fingertips.

"Jack," Bella politely nodded. "You remember my boyfriend Jasper." She nodded in my direction, and thankfully she didn't sound confused this time.

"Evenin'," I drawled.

"Southern?" Jack asked me. I just nodded

"Where from?" He was slightly uncomfortable, but that was to be expected being around me.

"Texas originally, but I've lived all over." I smiled a knowing smile at Bella.

"Cool. Did you guys just get here? Want a beer or other drink?" he asked looking at both of us. Apparently this was his house, I noted as he nodded towards the kitchen.

"Yeah, we just got here but we aren't staying, right Jasper?" Bella looked to me with a small smile. I think she knew I wasn't happy to be here.

"We can stay. You can drink if you want. I'll drive." I smiled back at her, letting her know I would do this for her.

"Hey that's cool, guy. You takin' care of your girl that way." Jack gave a genuine smile to me and a feeling of fondness flittered through his emotions. He really liked Bella and was happy to see someone taking care of her. I was actually beginning to like this guy.

"Well, maybe a beer." Bella looked at me as if looking for permission and I just raised an eyebrow. She didn't need my permission.

"Since when did you become so unsure of yourself?" I asked, I had to, she wasn't normally like this.

"Since I dragged my boyfriend to a party he doesn't want to be at," she snarked and Jack laughed quietly at our interaction.

"I'm here. I'll always be here with you. This is for you," I said, squeezing her hand, trying to get through to her this whole experience was for her.

"I know. It just sucks that you can't or won't have any fun," she challenged.

"I'll have fun as long as you do." I smiled and leaned down to kiss her nose. She scrunched it up and sighed heavily.

"Fine, I'll go get a drink." She tried to let go of my hand but I just stepped up with her letting her know that wasn't going to happen. "Jasper, I don't need a baby sitter to walk to the kitchen." She yanked her arm forcefully, knowing that if I didn't let go she was going to hurt herself, so I let go but not without a glare.

Bella stormed off and Jack chuckled at me. "Bit protective, huh?" he asked. Not really being rude, just making general conversation.

"Yeah, I guess." I was sulking and I knew it but damn this whole experience just was going to suck.

"I'll have a beer, thanks." I heard Bella request from the other room.

"Hey Bella," a male voice sounded from somewhere in the kitchen.

"Hi Chad," she responded. I was getting pissed I wasn't there with her.

"Listen dude, she'll be fine. My brothers and I are hosting the party, but we're not really drinking. This is a safe house for her to be in. Besides, she's head over heels in love with you. It's all she talked about today. Jasper this and Jasper that," he added in a mock girly voice.

I smiled at his reassurance and truthfulness. "Thanks. I guess this is just new for us. We're attached at the hip most of the time," I admitted looking down.

"So where's the boy toy, Bella? Did you ditch him to come hang with me?" I could just feel the lechery coming off the guy and the only person I was allowing myself to feel in this mêlée of people was Bella and occasionally Jack when he'd speak.

"Have you two been together long?" Jack brought my focus back to him.

"Not quite a year to be honest, but I've known her for a little over two years." Jack nodded taking a sip of his beer.

"I'm not gonna lie, dude. She's hot and most of the guys here have a thing for her. She was quite the little imp today, bossing Peter around and everyone else. She said Peter was her brother, in honesty, he looks more like your brother though." He raised an eyebrow at me as I felt a warm arm circle my waist.

"He is," I said as I pulled out of the mermaid's grip. "Ariel." I nodded at her placing several feet between us. Jack just laughed.

"Jas-per, sooo glad tooo seee youuu," she crooned in a slur. Bella was telling some guy that he 'didn't have a prayer in hell' as she tried to get back to us and I looked to see Jack cracking up at the eyes that Ariel was giving me.

"I guess she's not the only desirable one here, huh?" he laughed more.

Why did we come to this party?

With a chagrined smile I nodded my head. "I didn't think college would be this difficult for us. Neither of us want anyone else; you might as well pass the word on." I looked pointedly at the mermaid while I spoke.

"Jasper!" A voice called from somewhere where Bella was and I turned to see her staring at the girl like she had grown two heads. I had to laugh at that, the girl had no idea who she was standing next to calling me out. It was the brave and chunky brunette from my group, Cindy.

"Jasper, over here!" She waved a wild arm, like I wasn't looking right at her. Well, I wasn't, I was looking at the girl next to her.

"Yes Jasper, over here!" Bella responded in the same voice waving her arm wildly, making Cindy stop her own flagging.

"Who are you?" Cindy asked a bit too snottily for my liking. I turned and nodded at Jack who was still laughing his ass off, mermaid forgotten, I strode quickly to my woman before something happened.

"This," I started as I wrapped a steel arm around Bella's waist, "is my girlfriend Bella that I was telling you about. Bella, this Cindy." I placed a hearty kiss on Bella's lips before I killed someone. This whole thing was just frustrating.

"Oh, so you're the girlfriend. Well I hope you don't mind some hearty competition, he is a catch you know." Bella smirked backing up from me looking over at Cindy.

With a pointed to look from head to toe, Bella chuckled as she replied, "Well you are hearty. But he came to me. I didn't have to throw myself at him and I'm guessing he's not gonna like it if you do. Let's go." She grabbed my hand and turned to lead me out while she chugged some fruity smelling drink from a red cup.

I didn't look anywhere but at her ass as we walked out the door. After all I have the best vision around and I was happy to use it while imagining that ass bouncing around on my cock. Bella dropped her cup on a table by the door as we exited.

"God, can we go nowhere?" she said just a little too loudly. I just smiled. It's not jealousy that either of us felt at all of this; we were secure in our love. It's just annoying.

"I pulled her to me and gave her a deep kiss, tasting the sour alcohol on her tongue as I sucked it wildly. I didn't care where we were and the little PDA just made me hope others would back off.

As we made it back to our dorm, we discussed the problems Rose and Char had had. "We both agreed we didn't like what they had gone through, having to deal with guys saying disgusting things about them they couldn't hear and the girls being catty because they were beautiful, but it shouldn't always be like this.

We agreed that once classes started and things calmed down, we would be back to isolating as usual from others, despite the close quarters, and it wouldn't be so bad. We only had three more days of orientation bullshit to get through first.

The rest of the orientation days were just as bad. I was by myself in all of the groups except the last one in which I got Rose, for which she was thankful. Emmett and Bella spent two days together which made others realize they were trouble and kept away from them after many incidents of old fashioned pranks such as hot foots, shoe laces tied together, and just embarrassing loud talking about personal issues such as bathroom needs.

Peter and Char lucked out getting to be in the last three groups together. I kind of think Pete had something to do with it because he was always satisfied and I picked up a bit of dishonesty from him when I'd ask but he'd just laugh and deny it. Rose had two groups by herself and actually made a friend, some girl named Jennifer who was from Oregon and was just as lost and confused as anyone about this whole college thing. Rose felt sorry for her and kind of took her under her wing, which meant she wasn't paying attention to the gossip around her and calmed her some. Bella only had one group by herself and I was ready to spit nails on that day.

That was day that Jack proved his friendship to both of us. He literally popped some guy that called Bella a bitch when she refused a date with him. In all honesty, Bella is a bitch but that doesn't mean everyone is allowed to call her that. Jack was in that group and said he didn't allow anyone to talk about his friends that way especially, her. His affection for her was a bit confusing to me. I could tell he lusted for her but he was determined to keep it in check, which made me respect him more.

That night Jack was invited over for movies in the guy's dorm and though he didn't bring a date or a friend he didn't seem put out that everyone was paired off but him. He said it was nice to get away from the constant partying in his fraternity. He was nice to everyone and Pete and Emmett got along with him famously. He did make a comment that we had some of the most beautiful women on campus but it was in admiration and not disrespectful.

It turned out Jack is a football player, which explained his larger size, and half way through the movie he began trying to recruit Emmett, who of course declined with all the grace of a bull in a china shop.

"Hell no! I don't wanna be defending no pansies. I'd plow over people like a lawnmower. I'm not into all that shit, I like to stay fit. I don't need to knock people around to feel like a badass, I know I'm a badass…" he ranted and raved while we all stared at him, trying not to laugh at his words and exaggerated movements showing off muscles.

"Okay, okay, can't blame a guy for trying. What about you two? You both look in good shape too." Jack was not to be deterred apparently.

"Oh no! He's got plenty of extracurricular activities right here," Char dropped herself on Pete's lap as everyone laughed, including Jack, though he did look a bit put out. His eyes rounded to me and then to Bella who was sitting next to me.

"Yeah, he's just as busy," she said with an exaggerated wink. Honestly, if I could blush I would have but instead I smiled and dropped a heavy kiss on her head.

I leaned down and whispered, "I'll show you just how busy my tongue wants to be tonight." I licked the shell of her for exaggeration and watched as she noticeably shivered in my arms.

"Dude, I dunno what you just said, and I probably don't want to know. But, part of me wants to learn how to make a girl react like that," Jack said, unabashedly staring at Bella as she panted just a little trying to stay calm and keep blush off her face.

"Maybe we can teach ya sometime," Emmett said with a deep chuckle.

"Well even if you don't, it was cool hanging with you guys. Thanks for the movie and snacks." Jack knew it was time to go and I didn't have to even suggest it. I think the way the women were winding themselves around us, was the only clue he needed.

"See you in class!" he called as he shut the door to our dorm on Friday night. I suppose we won't be seeing him over the weekend.

"So, we lived through orientation. I'll see you guys on Monday." I threw Bella over my shoulder and ran her down the stairs and into her room without thankfully being seen. I tossed her on top of the large red and black comforter before covering her body with my own, letting us sink into the bliss that we created as we became one, once more.

AN: And thanks to filmdork who educated me on crack filler ( things you never thought you'd say)…mwhahahahaah….Thanks Darlin!
