I noticed the way she looked at me. And I couldn't help but stare at her a few seconds.
She was beautiful. She had deep brown eyes. Her hair was a light brown and had the slightest waves. I wish she would have left it open. Letting it fall around her face. She had a beautiful face. A cute little nose and pink full lips. I would love to kiss those lips. She smelled like a summer night. Fresh and like flowers covered by rain. Alice had told me about her. She saw her coming. Saw us being together. Saw us dancing. I goggled her and found her story. I felt bad about it.
But now it hurt me. The last few months I trained myself on being around humans. Carlisle took me with him to the hospital so I would get used to the smell of human blood. I would come to school more often. Just because Alice saw us. Me and Bella. When I saw her picture on the internet I was thrilled. She looked like an angel. But that she sat in front of me and smiled shyly at me she was even more beautiful. And now was the perfect chance for me to ask her questions.
"Well I don't really know what to ask you…2 she said and looked down onto the floor. She was embarrassed and once again I felt bad. I wanted her to feel comfortable around me.
"Ok then I will start. So how old are you Bella?" I thought it was a good started.
"17. You?"
"18. What's your favourite colour?"
"I love blue. But also white and pink. Where do you come from Jasper? I noticed that accent." She blushed again and oh how I loved it.
"I come from Texas, I moved down here with my foster family from Alaska."
"Wow. Foster family?"
"Yeah my parents died a few years ago and the Cullen's took me and my sister Rosalie with them. What about you- you came from NY right? Why did you come here?"
"Well I was a great dancer. Ballet. I had an accident and moved here because my mum couldn't handle me anymore. I guess she just wanted to have more time with her husband Phil. And I was burden. That stupid…." She looked up and blushed. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't talked like that."
"Why don't you dance anymore?"
"I can't. The doc said I will never dance again. I will have to start a new life. Something normal." She stuck out her tongue and I wanted to kiss her. I wanted to taste her. I had to laugh. The way she looked was adorable. Her nose was wrinkled it the most adoring way and her eyes sparkled even though I could feel her anger.
"Anyway. My turn. What do you do in your free time?" she looked shy again.
"Uhm, well I read a lot. And play guitar. And well, me and my family love to play baseball. Sometimes. Not often but sometimes."
"My dad loves football. He used to make me watch it all the time when I was little. But I also made him watch ballet shows with me. Most of the time he fell asleep and I snuck out and got all kind of candy stuff because he didn't allow me to eat any." She laughed. A musical laugh.
"Why?" "Well my mum didn't want me to eat candy and when she found out I gained weight she would scream at my dad. I always had to be the perfect little ballerina. But ever Thursday my dad and I went to the local diner and ate there. And for dinner we ate blueberry pie and ice cream."
I chuckled. I could imagine her sitting in front of a huge ice-cream can, her face covered with it, her eyes with that happy sparkle and her laugh. She probably looked adoringly.
"What are your hobbies? Beside dancing?"
"Not much. I love everything about ballet. But I love shopping. Not like shop till you drop. But every now and then I love to go shopping. I love reading as well and I love listening to my music. And I love cooking. But dancing… well dancing is my passion. Its what I live for. Or used to live for. Its weird to have so much free time now. Before the accident I used to dance at least 3-4 hours a day. And now… now I sit around and do nothing. I think I will have to find a new hobby." She shrugged and even though she pretended like all this didn't effect her much I could feel her pain. I could feel how hard this was. And I could see that she struggled to not cry.
"Ask your last question and than you can go." I heard the teacher say.
"Well its officially your turn. But I have a question."
"Ok" she whispered.
"Would you like to sit with me during lunch tomorrow? I want you to meet my family. Well not my parents but…" I felt so stupid. Meeting the family is something you do after you go on a first date.
"I would love that." She smiled and started packing her things. Somehow her back stuck on the chair and all her belongings went flying around our table. "Oh shit!" she whispered and I had to smile. That sounded cute.
I helped her find everything and she walked away. That's when I noticed she left her phone on the table. I quickly grabbed it and typed my number into it. Thanks to vampire speed it didn't take me long and I could hurry up to find her.
"Bella" I shouted. She turned around and looked to me. I just saw her. Nothing else. Just Bella. I didn't notice anyone else. And again she looked like an angel. The way she looked at me made me realize that I stared at her.
"I'm sorry…. I didn't mean to…well… you left your phone and I just wanted to give it to you."
She smiled again. Thank god.
"Thank you." When she took it her hand lasted just a second on my hand but her heat was burning my skin. It felt like this touch would be something I would still remember in a million years. I smiled and went to my last class.
I wondered if she would even notice my number. But I had to wait. Maybe she would call.
Bella POV
My last class seemed like it would never end. I was watching the clock and every second went by slower. When the bell finally rang I grabbed my things and went to my car. Outside I walked past Jasper and another guy. He was tall and looked extremely strong. Like… like a bear. I bet if he gave me one hug I would be dead.
I waved to Jasper and he smiled, waving back. I did notice the way he stared at me in the hallway. And I have to admit I liked it. I never really had a boyfriend in NY. I went on dates. Not many. But dancing was my life and a boyfriend didn't fit in. probably because no guy could ever grab my attention enough to leave dancing behind. But I loved talking with jasper today. It was so easy. Like I already knew him a few years. He seemed to be easy. A guy to spent a lot time with and always have fun.
I drove home and did homework. Charlie was supposed to be her around 6. When I looked at the clock I noticed that only left me a little about an hour to cook. He wanted to go out. But I knew how much he loved my cooking and I wanted to surprise him.
When I was almost done I heard his car pull up the driveway. I still remember when I was a little girl and spend my summers here. I knew exactly when he would be home. I could hear his heavy steps on the front porch, when he hung up his gun and went to the kitchen. He would look for me and when he found me he would hug me. I loved his hugs. Even now. They made me feel safe.
"Hey Bells." He shouted.
"In the kitchen dad" I heard how he hung up his gun and stripped out of his jacket and shoes. Like always. 2what are you cooking. That smells great" he came to stand next to me and gave me a quick hug and peeked into the oven.
"I made chicken ragout and noodles. I know how much you love it!"
"I love you Bells." He gave me another hug and this one lasted a little longer. I let myself fall against him and sighed. At that he started rubbing small circles on my back and I would love to spend more time here but that wasn't possible.
We ate in silence. Almost. I would ask about work and people from town. He would answer. When I started doing the dishes he sat down on the table with beer and watched me.
"How was your day?"
"Well…it was great. I met a lot of people and made friend with Angela Webber and Ben… I don't remember his last name and Eric and also Mike Newton."
"You look happy. Seems like you had a good day."
"Yeah I did. It was better than I thought it would be."
"Good. I'm happy. For you I mean. Well I'm going to watch some sport. You can come if you want."
"Nah… thanks dad, I guess I'll just go upstairs and take a shower and read a little. Oh and thanks for the phone dad. I love it." I ran up to him and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
"Its ok. I want you to be happy here. I love you."
"Love you too."
I finished the dishes and took a shower. Up in my room I decided I should call Angela. We didn't get a chance at work. And I wanted to talk not only about the way Jessica treaded her but also about Jasper.
When I looked at my contacts I saw a number I didn't knew.
JW
Who is JW?
I hesitated for a second but then decided to call JW. Whoever that was.
"Hello?" said a well known voice on the other end.
"Jasper?"
"Hey Bella. I see you found my number." He sounded amused.
"Yeah I did. But why JW?"
"Well jasper Whitlock."
"Huh I thought you were a Cullen."
"No. my original name was Whitlock and only the really close ones get to know it."
I smiled at that comment. So he liked me. It wasn't just my imagination. We talked a little while. At least I thought it was just a little while when I looked at my watch I saw it was already 8.
"Hey Bella. Can I ask you something?"
"Uhm sure"
"Ok uhm… I really would like to take you on a date."
I smiled. He wanted a date. With me. My smile grew even bigger.
"That's wasn't a question. It was a statement." I wanted to tease him a little.
"I'm…uhm... well… would you like to go on a date with me? Is that better?"
"I would love to go on a date with you. But when?"
"Friday. After school the two of us are going to drive to Seattle."
"Seattle?"
"Yeah. I want to surprise you with something."
"Ok. I tell Charlie about it. And tell you tomorrow if he's fine with it."
"Ok."
"Well goodnight then Jasper"
"Goodnight Bella. Sleep well."
When he hung up I went downstairs. Charlie was still watching TV. A movie.
"Dad?" I asked.
"What's up princess" he patted the seat next to him and I snuggled to his site.
"Daddy I have to ask you something." Daddy always got him. This simple word was magic.
"Sure."
"Dad there is a boy at school. Jasper Cullen. And he asked me out. On Friday after school. He wants to take me to Seattle."
"I don't know bells. I want to meet him first."
"Ok. I'll tell him."
"Alright."
I went up to my room and grabbed my iPod. I looked for the perfect song and found James Brown "I feel good". I loved that song.
I send Jasper a message and soon god an answer.
I'll be there on Thursday evening. J
I started dancing around like crazy.
By the way I love the song "I feel good". Don't forget the button!
