Chapter 12 : Summer Loving

Jasper's POV

I held Bella in her sleep every night. She looked so beautiful with her eyes closed and a slight smile on her beautiful lips. I sometimes wished she didn't have to sleep so that I could have more time with her, but at the same time she looked so adorable, cuddled up to me with her hands resting on my chest and her hair sprawled all over me. I loved having my arm around her and I hoped that she would never decide to leave me, for I surely wouldn't. Love and peace radiated from her being every moment I was around her. Edward was gone. He had left a week after my first date with Bella and had moved up to Alaska with the Denali clan for a while. They were happy to accept him and he had called to tell us that he was happy even though he missed us all. He said he might be back some time during winter and that he would drop in for a weekend before we all moved to college.

"Jazz," Bella said one afternoon, "Are you going to change me yet?"
"I thought we should wait a while." I told her, "I mean…you're still eighteen and I'm twenty so there's no rush. We could wait until you're my age so that you're sure this is the life you want."
"I am sure; I'm positive," she told me, "I want to be a part of your family."
"You already are a part of my family Bella," I replied, "You're a Cullen no matter what you choose or which life you decide on leading. But I'd like to give you some more time to think things through and to do things you would never be able to do as a vampire. I want you to taste different types of food, to sunbathe and go swimming and to be able to be around your parents for a while longer. If you are changed, you'll have to cut contact with them abruptly to avoid hurting them and it's better if you slowly let them go."
"Maybe you're right," she told me, "I guess it wouldn't hurt to wait for a while longer. But I hate it when you have to leave for hunting trips. I want to be able to hunt with you. Watching you hunt was so mesmerizing. I enjoyed myself so much. You're hot when you're in predator mode. It turns me on…" I could feel her embarrassment after the words came out of her mouth but I could also feel her lust. We had been together for a month and a half. We were now lying down on her bed next to each other. I turned around and lay myself on top of her and then I pressed my lips to hers and kissed her with a fiery passion. My tongue got lost inside her mouth and I could tell that her heart was hammering in her chest. I wanted to touch her and I wanted all of her but I had to control myself until she asked more of me. My lips moved with hers in a co-ordinated battle.
"God Jasper," she said, "I want you."
"I want you too," I whispered as I continued to kiss her. My lips made a trail down her neck and to her collarbone.
"Make love to me Jasper," she told me.
"We haven't been together long enough," I said softly as I sat up and looked at her.
"I know I want you forever," she told me, "I don't need time to know that."
"You thought it was like that with Edward too," I replied softly.
"That was different. I felt different and I thought different."
"But you wanted him to make love to you. I could feel your lust."
"Was it this strong?" she asked.
I looked at her and shook my head, "No…never…"
"He said no cos he didn't want to hurt me, but you saying no to me is hurting me worse."
"Sorry baby," I told her, "I'd never want to hurt you. I will make love to you but let's just give it a couple more months, ok?"
"You're not sure are you?" she asked me, "You're not sure if it's me you want. Of course not. I'm just a pathetic human, and not one of the most beautiful either. And you're so godlike and perfect. Why am I kidding myself about this?"

Bella's POV

His lips pressed down on mine to shut me up and then he released me and looked at me.
"Don'...you," he said, one syllable at a time, "I have never wanted someone or something so much in my life. I want to touch you all over and to have you right here, all mine…I want to be in your arms and you in mine until I die, if ever. If ever I have to leave this immortal life, I want to leave it in your arms. Bella…you are the most beautiful person I have ever encountered, better than any vampire I have ever laid eyes on. You dazzle me in your human form. When you're changed, you will be a goddess…Bella…"
The way he whispered my name sent shivers down my spine. It made me want him even more. I took his hand in mine. His eyes were closed and pressing down hard from all of the emotion. He was shuddering as he whispered my name. I opened the palm of his hand and took his index finger in my own hand and then I ran his finger up my arms and over my shoulder and collarbone down to the neckline of my shirt.

"Stop."
"I'm sorry," I mumbled.
"Don't be," he told me, "But you're making me want you even more. I just want to wait just so you know that you're not wasting your virginity on me."
"I won't be wasting it on you," I replied. I could tell that his heart sank at those words.
"Relax," I said, "I'm a virgin, and I will lose my virginity to you. But it won't be a waste." He relaxed at my words.

I kissed him softly and we let it go. Every evening, he came to my house and watched TV with my dad and myself and after he left for the night, my dad would smile softly and then I'd shower and go to my room to find my angel waiting for me on the bed. Every morning, we'd spend time outside. Sometimes we'd visit the Cullen home and other times we'd go to the indoor pool. There was no sunlight in there so we were safe. People were surprised and Jessica was glad to have all the gossip in the world. Nobody could believe that Alice and Jasper had broken up and that I was dating him. But their biggest disbelief was both Jasper and I's involvement in society. We had started visiting the pool and Port Angeles together. Sometimes we watched movies and other times we just hung out there. Often, we went for walks in the woods. Every time the sun shone, Jasper would reluctantly unbutton his shirt and lay down in it so that I could see him sparkle. He was more beautiful than any sight I had ever seen. His scars shone like a beautiful magical tattoo, his golden hair and eyes seemed to shine harder like gold. Everything about him sparkled, especially his beautiful smile. He was beautiful and I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. I couldn't wait until I was immortal, just like him. But it wouldn't hurt to wait a while. It would also help him to get even more used and immune to my scent before he had to endure my blood in his mouth.

"I can't wait until you change me; to have your venom running inside my veins," I told him, "I think that's more intimate than sex."
"I guess so," he replied, "I love you Bella. But I want you to cherish what's left of your human life before I change you. How about we go on a holiday?"
"Really?" I asked. I jumped up and down with joy. I hadn't been this excited in ages.
It took a while to convince Charlie to let us go on holiday together but then I promised that we wouldn't sleep in the same room. We even booked two rooms for show; Jasper had the money anyway. And then we left. We packed our bags and got on a plane to California. I knew Jasper would not be able to come to the beach with me, but he often watched me from a distance as I lay in the sun and swam in the water. We even sometimes swam during the night. We had been together for three months now. I would be starting college at Dartmouth as a freshman. He was supposed to be becoming a sophomore at Harvard but decided to transfer to Dartmouth so that we could be together.

California was amazing. We even made love for the very first time when we were there. It was our third night on holiday. I was wearing a white dress with spaghetti straps, a v-neck neckline, and which went down to my knees. It was a beautiful dress. He was wearing jeans and a polo shirt.

"Please Jasper," I said, "Let's make love tonight. I'm sure I want you to do this."
"Ok," he said. He kissed me on the edge of my jaw and picked me up bridal style. He set me down and lay me down gently on the bed. He sat down on the edge of the bed and then curled up so that he was next to me. His lips pressed down softly on mine and then he whispered to me, "I'm sorry if this hurts you, but it always does the first time."
"My joy will overcome the pain," I replied. He sat up and smiled at me, his love shining in his eyes. He sent over waves of calm to me and I squeezed his hand. He sat me up and undid the zipper for my dress and then he lifted it up over my head. He took my hand in his and placed it over his t-shirt. I lifted it up over his head. I traced a line down his chest and over his abdomen and then I unbuttoned his jeans and slid down the zipper and helped him to squirm out of his jeans. He lay on top of me and kissed me softly and gently. It was a slow yet passionate kiss. He slowly removed the rest of my underwear and I removed his. He was the most beautiful person and thing I had ever seen and would ever see in my entire life.

"You are beautiful," he told me, "I love you."
And then he took both of my hands in his and he entered me. It was painful. But I was ecstatic.

Jasper's POV

She was truly the most beautiful thing and person I had ever laid eyes on ever since I was first born as a human. In all of my immortal life, I had never seen anyone her equal. She was amazing. I loved everything about her and I knew then that I would never stop loving this girl…this woman lying down underneath me. The moment I entered her, a rush of pain came flowing from her but then pure bliss replaced it. I could feel myself becoming happier as well. We were surrounded by an aura of happiness and joy. I lowered myself and our lips collided. We lost ourselves in a hot and passionate kiss. Our tongues battled for dominance and our lips seemed to be stuck together, moving around fast and in slow motion at the same time. She removed her hands from mine and ran them through my hair, getting her fingers knotted in my locks. I copied her and let my hands find the back of her head.

I loved her more than I had ever loved anyone or anything. She had truly become my only reason to live, to smile, to breathe unnecessarily. She had brought me back to life from my long slumber. I had been dead for such a long time, and here I was feeling alive and young again. I felt like a man, falling in love for the very first time. I felt like a man instead of the monster I felt that I was. She reassured me so many times that I would never be a monster in her eyes, that I would always be Jasper, her soul mate and her true love.

"Jasper," she said softly.
"Yes darlin'?" I asked.
"Have I told you lately that you're the most amazing thing that entered my life? You blessed my life Jazz…"
"Oh sweet pea," I said, "You too."
"I love you," she mumbled, "And I will love you forever."
"I love you too darlin'."
And I knew then what I wanted. I wanted one thing more than I had ever wanted in my entire life.

All I wanted was one thing… Isabella Marie Whitlock Hale…I wanted to make her my wife.

A.N. Hope you enjoyed that. Was not a very long chapter! Next chapter, some snippets of the fall – beginning of college. Then comes the drama!

Love all of you :)
