My Girl
:::
|Jasper's POV|
Angel dropped me off at my place kissing me goodnight. Today had been one of the best days of my entire existence. I was so happy to see that she shared my interest of history. I explained to her the inaccuracies of the series and she listened thoughtfully even going as far as to comment on some of my observations. I also discovered that my girlfriend was a cuddler. Angel lived for cuddling and I loved it. The way she clung to me made me feel wanted. When it came time for her to drive me home, I told her I wanted to drive her to school for now on. She did object at first until she yielded when I brought up the point of less gas having to be used. She was stubborn though wanting to pay for my gas but I refused telling her it was my job as her boyfriend to drive her around. She didn't like that too much but I persuaded her with kisses. Despite being a spitfire, she was soft for me and only me.
I entered the house and Carlisle was waiting with the rest of the family. I didn't sense anything negative, just concern.
"Jasper I got a call from the attendance office. You weren't at school. Would you care to explain why?" Carlisle asked in concern.
"I did skip but not because I was struggling with my thirst. I... I was with Angel. We had a date," I explained honestly.
"A date? Are you two official now?" Alice asked.
"Yes we are official as of today. I'll even be driving her to school for now on," I explained.
"I'm happy for you Jasper. I know it's been killing you inside not being able to love her the way you wanted to," Rosalie spoke with a smile.
"So did you kiss her?" Emmett asked and both Rosalie and Alice elbowed him.
"I did. I kissed her a lot today. I'm very happy as you can see," I stated.
"Well that's wonderful son but please don't make it a habit to miss school with her. I'd hate for her father to not want you around her because you are a bad influence in his mind," Carlisle shook his head smiling.
"Bad influence? Angel is the one that dragged me out of school," I laughed.
"But still honey be careful with her. She's still human," Esme placed her hand on my shoulder smiling.
"When are you planning to tell her what we are? We all know that she will be one of us. Alice has seen it," Rosalie voiced what everyone was likely thinking.
"As soon as possible. I don't want Edward to interfere if at all possible, speaking of which, where is he?" I asked noticing a lack of his presence.
"He's hunting. Apparently he's been interacting with the Swan girl,"
Rosalie hissed.
"Rosalie." Carlisle warned.
"What? The girl is his singer! It would be one thing if she were his mate like Angel is to Jasper but she's his singer as well making this ten times more dangerous. I think we should kill her so that she isn't a threat to us any longer," Rosalie spoke.
I was all for making sure Edward didn't slip up with his singer but I knew that Edward's singer was one of Angel's close friends so I couldn't vote to kill her. It would hurt Angel and I can't imagine hurting her. She was too good of a soul for that.
"While I'm all for keeping Edward from slipping up, I can't condone killing the poor girl. Think about her family and also imagine how sad Angel would be to see her go," Mentioning Angel seemed to be the right thing to say because Rosalie went silent all the sudden.
"As coven leader I would have to agree with Jasper. We will not kill the girl. Edward believes that he can control himself so why not have faith in your brother?" Carlisle looked at Rosalie who nodded.
"Then it's settled, we won't be leaving and we won't kill the human," With that the family dispersed.
I ended up going to my study while Emmett and Rosalie were cuddled up on the couch watching a movie and Alice was reading fashion magazines in the corner. Carlisle and Esme went to their offices and the house finally settled down.
|Angel's POV|
I groaned turning over. My phone was going nuts. I finally reached for my phone seeing it was Jasper.
"Hello?" Sleep still laced my voice.
"Oh sorry to wake you darling but I'm right outside your house. I told you I'd be taking you to school for now on," Jasper's sincerity made me smile softly.
"I'll be down in a minute to let you in," I stated hanging up.
I grabbed my robe and wrapped it around myself before heading down the stairs. Due to the lack of my dad's keys I knew he wasn't home. I made my way to the front door and opened it. Jasper was standing there with a smile.
"Come on in. I have to get ready but you can come up with me," I smiled going back up the stairs.
When we crossed into my warm bed room I discarded the robe.
I was shuffling through clothes and notice from the corner of my eye that Jasper was trying to focus on everything but me and my half dressed self.
"You being my boyfriend doesn't really change anything for me. The only difference between us as friends vs. us being romantically involved is that you get to kiss me and hold me like a boyfriend does their girlfriend. There's other things too but I'm too tired to think of them off the top of my head," I waved dismissively.
Without warning Jasper came behind me and kissed my cheek. I accepted his affection with a giggle of my own.
"How'd I end up with someone like you?" He smiled.
"I don't know. I guess you're just lucky like that. Anyway What should I wear today? I can't decide," I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth hoping he didn't smell my morning breath.
Us McDouglass's have horrible morning breath. We could probably curl nose hairs with the stench of our breaths.
"It's a little chilly out there so I'd say something warm," Jasper suggested.
"How about my sweater dress with a pair of leggings and my calf length suede boots?" I suggested.
"You'll look good in just about anything to me," Jasper kissed me and I smiled against his lips.
The sweater dress was a deep red color and went down to about mid thigh. The best part was that it was a turtle neck and had pockets! I absolutely loved it when my dresses have pockets because honestly I hate carrying purses. I also found a cute infinity scarf that went well with my suede boots. As for makeup I went for a more autumn like look. Mascara, a natural looking brown eyeliner, a bronze like eyeshadow look and a matte red lipstick. I grabbed a beanie and wrapped up my look completely.
"Tada!" I came out and Jasper smiled.
"You look beautiful," He smiled kissing my temple.
"I feel cozy," I giggled putting my keys and my phone in my pocket before heading down stairs.
"Ready to shock our classmates?" I smirked.
"Ready as I'll ever be," Jasper gave me his handsome grin.
"Is this your car?" I asked looking at the Dodge Charger.
"Yes it is. Rosalie even looked at the engine to make sure it was up to her standards," Jasper opened the passenger side for me.
"Such a gentleman my boyfriend is," I chuckled as he closed the door.
Jasper climbed in starting the engine. The rumble of the engine was powerful. I always did appreciate a nice power car.
"Oh I forgot my backpack!" I panicked.
"Calm down sweetheart. I put it in the car while you were changing," Jasper smiled and I noticed that both our backpacks were in the back.
"You think of everything don't you hun?" I reached for the radio.
"Oh I love Blue Oyster Colts," I smiled happy with the fact that Burnin' for You was playing.
"I love them too though they aren't in my top five bands list," Jasper spoke.
"Same. Mine are as followed from one to five, Def Leppard, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Foo Fighters, and Metallica," I smiled.
"Ah. I see we're a fan of 2000's rock too," He teased and I puffed my cheeks in annoyance.
"I told you my taste in music varies though I don't care for rap or pop really," I explained for what felt like the hundredth time.
"I know. I just like hearing you say it," Jasper grinned.
"Ass," I huffed.
"Love you too darling," Jasper gave me a quick peck when we were at a stop sign.
"Pay attention to the road. You trying to get us both killed?" I chuckled.
