A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update but I caught a virus so I've been ill :( . Also the outfits will be on my profile if you find it difficult to picture what they are wearing.

Bella's POV

Immediately after I got home from school I ran upstairs to get changed. Thanks to my constant clumsiness I had managed to fall onto some grass outside. It wouldn't have been that bad if it hadn't been raining 10 minutes before, causing the now huge muddy patch that is in my back. I quickly changed into my long denim short with black tights and my favourite sex pistols top. I shoved my Ed Hardy highrise shoes on.

It has been two weeks since the whole Edward and Alice affair thing. It has been a lot easier on me than I thought it would have and I mainly thank Jasper for that. He has been coming around everyday after school, to make sure I'm okay or just to hang out. It really doesn't matter to me why he comes around, just as long as he keeps coming. It's comforting to have someone here for me that have been through the exact same thing. The fact that the gruesome twosome have disappeared off the face of the earth helps a great deal.

School will be ending soon. THANK GOD. I can't wait to be free of that place and get on with my life. Jasper said that we would have to go on a road trip during the summer holidays and see as much of America as possible. He has already started planning the places we're going to go to and how long it will take to get to them, just to make sure we will be back in time for college. We will both be attending the University of Washington so I could stay close to my dad.

My thoughts were interrupted by a loud knock on the door. Quickly getting up from my seat in the kitchen, I raced to the front door and pried it open. Stood there was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen. I watched as his beautiful golden honey blond hair blew in the wind. He was wearing his worn black jeans and plain white converse. I noticed he was wearing a grey V-neck t-shirt and it didn't escape my attention that it was a tight fit. He muscular yet lean body was resting against the door frame as I realised he was waiting for me to invite him in.

"Oh, hey Jasper. Come on in." I rushed out, as I quickly turned and power walked up the stairs to my room. I can't believe he just caught me checking him out. That was embarrassing. He followed me to our usual hang out spot: my bed. (A/N: get your minds out of the gutter!)

"So what do you feel like doing today darlin'?" He questioned. God I love his southern accent. Focus Bella he just asked you a question. Answer it. I thought to myself.

"Erm, I was thinking maybe we could do what we always do. Just relax and listen to music." I replied.

"Sure. That sounds good. What should we put on?" He asked as he glanced through the pile of CD's I had stacked next to my stereo. My mind was coming up blank. Apparently just staring at his back can have that affect on me. Who knew?

"Whatever you want. Why don't you surprise me?" I answered, stuck in a trance. He turned around to look at me with one eyebrow raised and a smirk playing on his lips. Damn empath.

He finally joined me back on the bed after putting on some mixed CD I made. I could hear The Middle by Jimmy Eat World playing softly in the background. We were both lay on our stomachs, he had his head resting on his folded arms, while I had my elbows propped up and my head lay in my hands. There was a pleasant silence between us for a while until I decide to make conversation.

"So, how has your day been?" I asked making small talk. He looked up at me and smiled.

"Oh you know, same old, boring things. I was just waiting for you to finish school. The time seems to pass much slower than usual during they day." He replied. "How has you day been?"

"It's been quite alright. Well, that was until I fell in the mud and got dirt all up my back." I said as he laughed. At least he finds it funny. I just thought it was embarrassing.

We spent hours talking about the usual things; music, movies, plans, funny stories from our pasts. Basically, anything that came to mind. It was just so simple talking to him. Like a breath of fresh air. I didn't feel the constant need to be careful of what I said, like I did with Edward. I don't blush as much anymore either. I feel too comfortable with Jasper to feel the need to blush.

"So, have you heard anything from the other two lately?" I asked unsure of whether or not I wanted to know the answer.

"No. I'm still waiting on Alice to send me the signed divorce papers. I can't wait to be out of the hell I once called a marriage. I just want it to be a distant memory so I can go on with living my undead life." He sniggered at his own joke whilst shoulder bumping me.

"Is everything okay?" He asked once he realised I wasn't laughing with him. He was staring deeply into my eyes searching for the answer to his question.

"Y-yeah. Everything's fine. I just didn't know you guys were still married. I thought you had gotten divorced by now." I said, my tone of voice was that of disappointment.

What does it matter if he's still married? It's not like he's interested in you anyway. My inner voice said.

"Bella believe me when I say I wish I was already divorced from that evil creature. Unfortunately, even if she had already signed the papers and sent them off, it would take longer that, what, two weeks to get divorced." He said trying to comfort me. That completely confused me. Why would he be trying to console me about his divorce?

"What are you going to do once you get divorced?" I queried softly, leaning closer to him. He noticed the slight movement and a sly grin broke out on his face.

"Well, I was thinking maybe play the field a little. Get back into the dating game. Maybe find myself a cute little darling with soft brown hair to match her chocolate eye." He retorted leaning towards me somewhat. The gap between us was so small, if I moved an inch closer our lips would be touch.

"She sounds like quite the catch. And what a lucky girl she will be to a have a handsome southern gentleman falling all over her." I whispered desperate to take that final step. Lucky me; I didn't have to.

Within seconds his lips were pressed against mine. The kiss was sweet and gentle, like a very first kiss. Our lips moved slowly against one another. I turned my body to face his and moved myself closer. His arm snaked around my waist as he pulled me flat against his body. I rest my hand on his smooth cheek holding his face to mine. His tongue gently ran along my bottom lip. I opened my mouth to allow his tongue entrance. The kiss became more passionate the more we touched each other and before I knew it, I was lay on my back with Jasper hovering over me. I was moaning into his mouth as he ran one of his large hands up my thigh and onto my ass giving it a light squeeze. I wonder if what they say about big hands is true. I chuckled to myself.

Then it hit me. What I was doing was wrong. We had to stop what we were doing. I, Isabella Swan, am lay in my bed being felt up by a married man.

But it feels too good to stop. My bad side thought. Ignoring my bad side, I was about to stop everything. That was until he started his attack on my neck. He was sucking and nibbling it gently, I couldn't stop the loud moan that escaped my lips. I felt the vibration as he chuckled, which only made me worse. I couldn't stop my hands wandering over his t-shirt covered chest, feeling his muscles beneath.

God, how I want to lick every inch of him. But this needs to stop. I thought.

Yes. Yes. You need to stop because he's 'married'. So what if he's married? They are separated and even if they weren't, after what Alice did to you, you deserve a little revenge. My bad side argued. It made a good point but I couldn't do that to Jasper. So I decide to do the sensible thing.

"J-Jasper. Just s-stop a minute o-okay?" I panted out. He immediately stopped his attack on my neck and looked me dead in the eye. I could tell by his face he felt rejected, but that's not what I was doing at all.

"I'm not rejecting you." I blurted out, just to clarify. The look of rejection turned into one of confusion. "It's just you're still married and that makes me feel kinda bad about this. Don't get me wrong, it felt really, really good. But after a while I started to get these voices in the back of my head one telling me how wrong it is that I'm making out with a married man and the other trying to convince me that there is nothing wrong with it. And then I stat to get all confused because I just have this constant battle going on and on -" I stopped as his lips were on mine again.

It was a sweet, soft kiss like the first one. I felt him pull back but I kept my eyes closed a little while longer, savouring the kiss. I slowly opened my eyes to find his staring intensely at me.

"I understand completely. I'm not gonna force or rush you into anything. Besides, we have all the time in the world. I think we can wait a little longer until I'm divorced, right?" He said delicately. He really was the perfect southern gentleman.

"Now how about we go get you something to eat?" He said as he jumped off the bed and pulled me up. I couldn't wait until he was divorced.
