Thursday
Jasper's POV
Bella had been asleep for a few hours and I was content holding her in my arms. While she slept I looked at her pale face and noticed that her cheeks became flushed more than once throughout her dreams.
Although she was unconscious, I could clearly make out the emotions behind her dream state as events unfolded without much sense in her mind. She spoke Edward's name and moaned a little at one point, radiating feelings of confusion, annoyance and distress. I whispered soothing sounds to her and she soon relaxed against my chest with my name escaping from her lips.
"Jasper..."
Did she just say my name? Is she dreaming about me?
I knew it was wrong but my curiosity took over and searched her being to locate which emotion she was connecting to my name. I was shocked. There was a mixture of longing, fear, trust and the most prominent appeared to be desire. I thought about this throughout the night, questioning how I felt about this. Then it hit me. I was happy. As sudden as the realisation hit me, I thought of my wife; Alice.
She and Bella were so different. Alice was loud, energetic and graceful, whereas Bella was reserved, clumsy and as a result of this, proceeded with every task at a slow speed. How could I feel such passion for complete opposites? I knew I had to make a decision soon or I would be torn apart.
Bella slept until late on Thursday, missing the start of school. She had looked so peaceful in her sleep and adorable; with a slight pout on her lips that I couldn't bear to wake her. It seemed like a crime to disturb her.
Charlie of course checked on her before he left. I hid in the closet as he took in her tired figure and had obviously decided the same as me in regards to her waking. He closed the door quietly, so as not to disturb her, and as I heard him descend the staircase, I slipped easily back into my previous position with an Angel in my arms.
She came awake with a start an hour later, but I held her tightly to my chest. She looked up at me with questioning eyes and then became fully alert.
"OH! Did you stay here all night? I'm sorry I must have fallen asleep."
"Shhh, its fine, I wanted to stay. I told you I would be here if you needed me." I lowered my lips to the crown of her hair and placed a light kiss on her brown locks.
"What do you want to do today? I didn't think you would want to go to school so I let you sleep."
She smiled happily at me. "Actually I'm pretty sure I want to stay right here for a while." Her expression quickly changed though as she added, "Unless that makes you uncomfortable."
I couldn't help but smile at her worried and embarrassed tone and kissed her fully on her lips as a clear sign that I was happy. After a few seconds we broke apart.
"It doesn't make me uncomfortable at all."
I don't really understand why I had kissed her, I was not normally a forward person, yet I found a lack of control when I was around her.
She lifted her head to meet my gaze and pushing forward, put her lips to mine. It became heated very quickly, with me soon pushing her further into the mattress and positioning myself above her. A moan escaped her lips as her legs parted to accommodate my lower body, and I settled myself against her. I ran my hand up the outside of her thigh and settled it on her lower abdomen, making a mental note of the raised skin I had left in the wake of my hand.
Authors Note:
Hi everyone, sorry if this is bad (and has mistakes) but I'm worn out today and its 1.45am here in England. I was up at 6am for work and then I had Uni (I guess you call it college in America) until 5pm and then I went to the theatre to see 'We Will Rock You' (everyone should go it's brilliant!), so as you can see I have had a packed day.
I just wanted to write another chapter for all the people who have reviewed and I should update at some point tomorrow if I have the time.
But remember new readers, the more reviews I get, the more I feel the need to update!
So here's the deal, if I get at least 10 more reviews I will update at least twice tomorrow! I think that's fair as I am a very busy girl.lol
Also to let everyone know that I understand vampires are usually portrayed as not being able to cry but I like the dramatic element of it, which is why my story contains this. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, I luv you all!
P.S. sorry about the cliffy.lol
