After the Cullen dinner the rest of the week went by pretty...normal I suppose.
I'm pretty sure Jasper and I are a thing now. Even though it hasn't been announced officially. It kind of just fell into place naturally.
He walks me to my classes, kisses my cheek or a chaste kiss to my lips, goes to his class, comes to pick me up and we go to our classes together. We sometimes sneak text to each other text during schools also.
Also my sign language has improved. Jasper is sweet and patient with me when I mess up or when I have trouble remembering the signs. The other day I tried to ask "How as your day?"
I ended up asking "How was your paper bag?"
I don't even think those are remotely similar!
He just burst out laughing at my mess up, with me looking at him confused until he calmed down and told me my mess up.
Didn't I feel like an idiot?
I only know so much though.
I don't know enough to engage in fluent conversations.
Jasper has tried talking to me in simple sign language; I just looked at him like a stoned monkey.
And I did go out hunting for a sign language book for dummies.
That book isn't for dummies!
It was only slightly easier then the book Jasper gave me.
Speaking of which, I was reading that book "sign language for dummies".
I was sprawled out on the couch, book resting on my chest as I studied the different simple signs.
This was literally like learning a new language. The simplest gestures meant stuff. If I messed up just the slightest I can end up saying something totally different, and with my luck, something offensive.
Damnit! It was easier with Jasper here to help me...!
"Bella" I heard my dad call out.
"Sup" I said as I continued to study my book.
"This is Billy and his son Jacob" He said.
I finally tore my eyes from the book and looked over to see my dad standing behind a middle aged native man, sitting in a wheel chair with what I'm assuming is his son by his side.
"I'm Bella" I said then looked back to my book to read over what I was learning.
"Bella. You're all grown up" I heard Billy say.
I looked over to see him smiling in the calming friendly kind of way and I kind of felt bad about just blowing them off to continue to study my book.
"I've met you before?" I inquired curiously as I slowly sat up and rested the book beside me, facedown so I could continue where I left off later on.
"You were just a tyke. You used to come with Charlie when we went fishing" He explained.
"Oh I think I remember now. You had daughters?" I asked as I tilted my head.
"Yes. Two. Jake here used to come along also" He motioned to his son.
I looked at him and 'Jake' smiled brightly.
"Oh I remember you!" I said.
"Glad I made an impression" Jacob chuckled.
"Yeah you threw mud at me once and also held a worm on a stick over my face" I said in a monotone voice.
Jacob flinched then I continued.
"So of course you made an impression" I said sarcastically with an overly sweet smiled.
"Sorry bout that" Jacob flushed then bit his lip and looked everywhere but me.
"Actually Bella, I bought your truck from Billy here and Jacob also rebuilt the engine for you" Charlie explained after the uncomfortable silence.
"Ok...thank you" I smiled at them hugely.
"So...what'cha reading Bella" Jacob nodded to the forgotten book resting by my side.
"Oh 'Sign language for dummies'" I informed him.
"Why would you want to learn sign language?" Jacob chuckled and for some reason I felt annoyed.
"Because she is dating Jasper Whitlock" Charlie clapped him on the back.
I looked ta my dad absolutely stunned. I never told him I was dating him.
"Dad I-" I started but Charlie cut me off.
"Bella, people talk" Charlie rolled his eyes.
I scoffed and crossed my arms then turned my head childishly.
Charlie just chuckled at my behaviour and I managed not to flush with embarrassment. I momentarily forgot we had company.
Son of a bitch!
"I think I'm going to work on homework. I have an essay due on Monday" I informed them then stood up and reached for my crutches.
Once I had them in my grasp I manoeuvred around and walked towards the doorway and awkwardly moved around them then started to make my way up the stairs.
After a week in crutches I was more accustomed to using them, not like at first where the stairs annoyed the shit out of me. At least now I could move around easier and smoothly. Stairs still annoyed me though...
Once in my room I went to my computer desk which was situated in the corner of my slightly cramped room. Since I was injured I had trouble cleaning up and doing my daily chores so my floor was slightly decorated with scattered clothing and random junk resting at the most random of places.
Sliding into the computer chair I carelessly dropped my crutches and proceeded to boot up my computer.
After a few minutes of the mechanic hum of the computer warming up I pressed Microsoft word and started to sophistically writing my six page essay.
The book was "Kissed by an angel" by Elizabeth chandler.
It was a fascinating book about a teen aged girl named Ivy, who falls in love with the swimmer Tristan. After her boyfriend, Tristan, dies she thinks she has lost everything. It really was a heart warming story.
But the amazing part is he becomes her guardian angel, sent to protect her from danger and death. After finally reaching her again, even after death Tristan loves her unconditionally and struggles to protect her, since her faith in angels is crushed after he died that leaves her heart broken and devastated.
It was a great read and a fantastic story so I had fun reading it and writing my essay.
After writing seven pages of explaining 'Kissed by an angel' and what I think of it and such. I sighed and sat back in silence.
That story sort of warmed your heart, the girl Ivy was truly amazing, but after her loves dies, kind of loses it and shuts down.
But the thing is I could totally understand why she lost faith like that. Her love of a life time died, and her faith in angels just crashed. She sort of retaliated I guess you could say.
If anything happened to Jasper...
I don't even want to think about it!
The ache that already fills my heart just thinking of the possibility of his being hurt or taken from me was bone chilling.
But the story had a happy ending so it was all good.
Letting out a breathe I looked at my clock and saw it was only two in the afternoon.
Two in the afternoon on a Saturday I may add.
I was so utterly bored.
Groaning I stood up and stretched then went searching for my phone to see if I had any texts.
Mush have been an amusing sight, me hopping around on one leg, throwing random shit around searching for an itty bitty phone that was stationed by my computer but me being dense and lame didn't see it earlier, so I destroyed my room looking for something that was out in the open.
Aren't you the brightest crayon in the box Bella?
Finally gaining some smarts I saw my phone...sitting out it open.
Feeling my cheeks heat up in a delicate shade of pink I snatched my phone and indeed I saw I had a text from Jasper.
Miss you darlin'
Was all it said.
But those three words gave me butterflies.
Damn I'm getting soft...
Love...what an amazing and yet infuriating thing.
At the thought I froze and bit my lip.
Love?
What the hell?
Love? Already?
I cared for Jasper deeply yes, that I admit, and I cherish him but love?
Seems a little soon but...When I see him, my hearts does that corny cliché speeding up thing.
And damn simple words send me into a tumble.
Argh I hate you Jasper...!
For making me love you so god damn soon!
Well...I wasn't about to tell him...yet.
Don't want to scare the poor guy off.
Bet I miss u more :P
I sent and gingerly sat down on my bed, watching my phone, waiting for him to reply.
"I highly doubt that darlin', say what are you doin 2day?
Sitting here having the time of my life...
Nothing...actually, I'm being bored to the point where people should put me on suicide watch
I giggled and looked up and out my window, just daydreaming about random shit when I felt my phone vibrate.
I'm already on suicide watch. Tied up to the bed and everything ;p
Want 2 come over? ;)
Laughing I typed my reply.
Seriously?
After a few moments I received a reply.
I'm serious about u coming over. But I'm not actually tied to the bed.
But hey, if your into the kind of thing, we could make it happen ;P
Laughing while shaking my head I replied.
Ur 2 funny Jazz. But sure I'll come over
Getting up I hopped over to my crutches and stooped low to grab them and then I steadied myself on them and looked down at my phone and saw I had a reply from Jasper.
Be there in a few to pick you up.
Pocketing my phone I went out my door then started to go down the stairs at a fair pace, hobbled into the living room, where dad was chatting with Billy, Jacob seeming to be absorbed into the chat as well.
Charlie only spared me a glance, not losing his train of thought while chatting with Billy as I walked across the room to where the book was, still resting where I left it.
Picking it up, I grabbed a random piece of paper, what looked like a receipt of some kind and stuffed it in the book so I didn't lose where I was and started to leave when Charlie finally decided to acknowledge my presence.
"Where are you going Bells?" He asked.
Looking over my shoulder I answered.
"I'm suicidal with boredom so Jasper is coming over to pick me up and we are going to hang over at his place" I told him.
"Okay have fun. And no monkey business!" He said sternly as I flushed.
"Dad!" I screeched in horror.
Did he forget we had company?
And Jacob was laughing at me...damn him to hell!
"What?" Charlie asked innocently and that shot both Billy and Jacob into hysterics.
Just then I heard a knock at the door and I practically flung myself at the door and nearly ripped it off its hinges.
"Jasper!" I smiled hugely, totally forgetting my earlier embarrassment.
He smiled softly.
I stepped out the door and shut it behind me then Jasper started to help me down the stairs and to his car, doing our now daily routine.
...
...
...
After about ten minutes of comfortable silent, just the purr of the engine and wind outside the car the soundtrack of the ride, we finally arrived at the Cullen mansion.
Jasper helped me out the car and we made our way inside.
"Bella!" Esme exclaimed as she rushed forward to hug me awkwardly around my crutches.
"Good afternoon Esme" I smiled as she pulled back, returning my smile full force.
She went into the kitchen then and Jasper and I went to the entertainment room.
Jasper motioned for me to sit on the black suede couch while he went to set up the entertainment set.
He pulled out a few DVD's and held them up.
There were "50 first dates" "Halloween" "wanted" "The happening" and a few others.
Looking at them briefly I pointed to '50 first dates'.
Slipping it in the DVD player, Jasper grabbed remote and came to sit beside me on the couch.
After programming it so there were sub titles, he hit play and the movie started.
We were to the part were that guy who got attack by the shark was dressed in horrible drag and was saying "Fish make me supa horny"
We burst out laughing and our laughter almost drowned out Esme's voice when she called out to me.
"Bella, Can you send Jasper in here please?" She called out.
I tapped Jasper shoulder and he looked over at me, his eyes still filled with amusement.
"You mom wants you" I said.
He sighed and I could tell he was refraining himself from rolling his eyes. He hit pause on the remote, kissed my forehead and stood up and gracefully fled the room.
Sighing I relaxed into the couch when I saw Rosalie waltz into the room.
She really thought she was all that and then some...
She looked at me and wordlessly walked over.
Mother hell...
What the hell did I do to deserve spending time alone with her?
The universe hated me...
She sat down on the couch and turned to me.
"Hello" She said.
"Uh hi?" I replied, unsure.
"I'm going to be frank" Rosalie stated.
"Oh kay then?" I said as I continued to look at her confused.
"How do you feel about my brother?" She said plainly.
Woooooooow...
I just started at her blankly for who knows how long.
"W-why?" I stammered...damnit!
"Answer the question Bella" She narrowed her eyes dangerously.
"I care about him" I stated.
"How much?" She asked.
"Enough to risk my life for him, when I barely even knew him" I shot back.
"Bella...He's all I got left. He's my only family I have now" Rosalie stated softly.
I looked at her, utterly shocked to the core.
"He means so much to me Bella...I don't ever need to see him hurt" she said softly but with intense force backing up her words.
"I'll never hurt him rose" I said quietly.
She looked at me, her eyes demanding for me to continue.
"I'd let him hurt me, before I'd hurt him" I stated.
"Is that because you pity him?" She snapped.
"What? No! I lo- I mean, I care about him a lot. I'm not with him because I pity him. I'm with him because I really like him for him" I said strongly.
She looked at me for an un-measureable amount of time, her expression unreadable.
"You love him" She whispered.
I looked at her stunned.
It was that obvious?
Damn...
"Is it that obvious?" I whispered.
"Well, sort of. Also, earlier you almost slipped up. So that also gave you away" She stated.
"Whoops" I cringed.
"At least I know Jasper will most likely never get hurt by now. I'm glad that you are the one to love him" She smiled then leaned over and embraced me.
The world must me ending...
She smiled then embraced me.
Embraced as in hugged me!
Holy mother fucking hell!
She released, smiled hugely and got up then...left.
What the hell?
Just as she left, Jasper walked in, looked at his sister then to me, looking confused yet worried.
I smiled and motioned for him to join me. He smiled and made his way over and sat down, bringing his hand to my waist and brought me loser to him then pressed play and we continued on with the movie.
I had the sweetest boyfriend ever!
During the movie he would at random times kiss my temple, or my head or when nothing much was going on, brought his hand to my chin, tilt my head up and press a small gentle kiss to my lips, then go back to watching the movie.
After the movie was done, we sat on the couch trying to think of what to do next.
Jasper stood up, then helped me up then pointed up, asking if I wanted to go upstairs to his room.
Nodding we slowly made out way to the flight of stairs and up to his room.
Once in his room, I automatically went and sat down on his bed as he went to his closet.
I heard a drawer pull out and I looked up and Jasper poked his head out the closet, holding a belt with a mischievous grin.
At first I was confused.
Why was he holding a belt?
Then I remembered our text messages from earlier.
Gasping, my mouth dropped open, making me look real attractive as my eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Oh my gawd!
He then burst out laughing. He was leaning against the door frame to his closet, bent slightly over holding his side as his musical laughter floated about us.
He stood up, still laughing slightly, shook his head while rolling his eyes and went to put his belt back.
Oh...he was joking...
He came back out seconds later, a lazy smirk gracing his features, holding his guitar case.
He sat down on the bed, undid the case and pulled out his guitar.
He looked up, smiled then started to play his guitar real fast, you could tell he was just fooling around.
He then made a weird noise from the guitar then looked up and smiled innocently.
The noise sounded as if a dolphin was dying a slow painful death.
He may not have been able to hear, but you could tell he knew that noise was absolutely horrible.
But then he actually started to play and it was still magnificent like the first time. Every time he played guitar for me it was different. Never did he play the same thing twice.
So that lead me to believe he just winged it all the time.
I could just watch him play all day. And hear him play 24/7.
It never bored me. I loved it; I sometimes looked forward to it.
He then looked up slightly, watching me watch him.
Man I sounded as if I were a creeper.
He head was tilted slightly, making some of his hair fall into his eyes, his pale eyes watching me so tenderly my heart swelled almost impossibly.
All I could was his eyes. I was entranced by them.
All there was in the world right this second was his eyes and his music flowing effortlessly around us.
Screw it!
I was going to tell him.
If I scared him off...Well then...
I'd go...i dunno...drink my sorrows.
Or be like those pathetic girls on T.V and eat chocolate while watching love movies then throw chocolate at the happy couples on screen.
Jaspers music then came to a stop and we stared at each other for what seemed like forever.
Now or never Bella...
I had no idea how to tell him...
Ah I'll just go with the flow...
I brought my hand up and pointed to my eye, my finger resting delicately on my cheek bone, then brought my hand to my chest, where my hear laid, and drew a small heart then pointed to him.
His lips parted slightly when he realized what I was trying to tell him.
He gingerly put the guitar down on the bed.
He brought up his right hand, and then folded down his middle and ring finger, doing the rock on sign?
What?
"Why are you telling me to rock on?" I asked him utterly confused.
That was the rock on sign wasn't it?
Was that his way of telling me to screw off? He laughed and shook his head.
He playfully rolled his eyes.
He bought up his hand, brought it to his eyes, then went to his chest, drawing a heart also and then pointed to me.
Holy shit!
He was telling me he loved me too!
He then brought his hand to my face, scooted closer to me, and kissed me tenderly.
I brought up my hands, holding his wrists gently as we kissed.
Apparently it wasn't too soon.
