JASPER POV
She stood there for a moment thinking.
"How about taking you up on the meal because I haven't eaten in about a week and a half" I growled too low for her to hear me. My mate should not be going hungry.
"But not the ride because I don't like how much this feels like Hansel and Gretel. Sound like a deal?" She asks coming to stand next to me. With how closs she was standing and how good she smelt it made it hard not to jump on her right now and claim her, but I know that wouldn't go well, and my number 1 goal was getting some more meat on her bones.
"Only if you promise to take my number and call me if you need anything." I said I really wanted to tell her that she could live with me, have a roof over her head, a warm bed to sleep on, and food to eat, but I know that that probably wouldn't go over well.
"Fine." She said with a huff and started walking. She was in front of me and I was stuck in place staring at the perfect ass and legs that went on for miles that would one day hopefully be mine.
"You coming? It's your house right?" She asked, stopping to look at me.
"Uhh… yeah I'm coming" I said, walking next to her.
"Hey what day is it?"She asked as we started walking up the driveway.
"April 28th. Why?"I asked
"Oh god Roe is going to kill me. Can I borrow your phone really quickly? I'm not going to steal it, I swear." She said and biting her lip God I want to bite that lip.
"Uh yeah sure here" I say and hand her my phone.
"Oh god thank you. I feel awful. I can't believe I'm not there, I'm the worst." She said taking my phone and dialing a number. I wanted to know what she was talking about but I wanted so badly to make it better. I could feel the sorrow rolling off of her.
"Roe I'm sorry. I couldn't get to a phone." She said and turned away from me.
"I know HQ it's fine. You don't need to beat yourself up about it." A girl on the other end said.
"How is she? Can I talk to her?" Harley asked, sounding frantic. Who did she want to talk to so badly?
"Yeah hold on I will get her." Roe said
A few minutes later I heard a voice that sounded like she was two on the other end
"Mama!" The little girl yelled Oh god my mate is a mom. I mean how am I supposed to take care of a kid. I was panicking in my mind till I heard Alice say
"Don't worry you will be fine" She said at vampire speed so Harley coun't hear. I smelt salt in the air, and knew she was crying. I wanted badly to kiss her tears away and hold her and make sure she never cried again.
"Hi Cara baby how are you? Did you have a good birthday?" She asked softly although you could hear the guilt in her voice for not being there.
"It was great mama. Aunt Roe got me a barbie, Grandpa and grandma got me a dream house, Aunty Nicky got me a rainbow flag, and Uncle TJ got me a book of jokes!" The little girl said, sounding really happy.
"Of course he did baby. I really miss you. But I promise only two more months at the most okay. I'm almost to Canada and once I get settled I will come and get you."She said still crying.
"I miss you mommy. Why aren't you here? Did I do something wrong? Do you not love me anymore?" The little girl asked and sounded like she was crying.
"Cara Watison you could never do anything to make me not love you. It is because of some bad people okay. I will be there in two months and we will never be apart again okay? And it snows but here. You want to play in the snow right?" She said as a sob came out of her. I wonder what happened to make her leave.
"Yeah I love the snow!" The little girl yelled, like she was never crying.
"Okay I have to go but remember two more months okay? Be a good girl for Aunt Roe for me. I love you." She said taking a deep breath trying to calm herself down.
"Okay mama I promise. I love you too bye." She said and hung up the phone.
Harley lowered the phone and wiped her tears like she didn't want me to know she was crying.
"I'm sorry about that it's my daughter's birthday and I'm not there, because of some men that I will go to jail for, because one day I will kill them all. Anyway thanks for letting me use your phone." She said and gave my phone back to me.
"It's no problem. So…...You have a kid."
