A/N: …..
I was walking past her bedroom room when I heard her exclaim, "Hi, Jazzy!"
Alice came out of her bedroom so I ran downstairs. I heard her door close and then I raced up the stairs in time to hear Alice and 'Jazzy' asking identical questions of who the other was.
Bella laughed. Oh how I love that laugh. Then she said, "Alice meet Jasper, Jasper meet Alice. Alice is Dr. Cullen's daughter, Jasper is my uh…what are you Jazzy?"
Please God don't let her say boyfriend. Please!
Then I heard the man I was assuming was Jasper say in a deep southern voice, "Lifeline, bestest friend in the world, savior, awesome-est person in the world, only guy friend, fucking awesome friend that is there for me whenever I need him regardless if he is at a meeting or with his girlfriend shall I say ex-girlfriend now…" He trailed off.
Bella laughed and said, "Yep, that's Jasper.
Assumption confirmed.
I heard the slight pause of conversation followed by the rustling of papers and Bella saying, "So, Jas, how'd your meeting go?"
"Oh, don't even get me started. First off, Eleazar, that's my manager Alice, said that I did this power point for the trucks wrong! How dare her say that! She doesn't have any idea what she's talking about! She then continued to drone on and on about how horrible I was doing at work. Then after the meeting Irina told me Eleazar didn't know what she was talking about. Then she practically said she loved me. The worst part though, Lauren, my boss, practically asked me to go down on her!" He said.
"JASPER HALE WHITLOCK! That is completely inappropriate for a phone conversation," Bella boomed.
He laughed and said, "Excuse me; I've had a few to drink."
She laughed her musical laughter and said, "Without me? I'm extremely saddened by that."
He started to laugh, and then there was a loud bang followed by a string of profanities, a loud smack and another string of profanities. "Jas, are you okay there buddy?" Bella asked.
The phone crackled then he said, "Jesus, who put that counter there? What, did you say something, Bells?"
She laughed again and said, "Are you okay there?"
"Oh, yeah, I dropped the phone and then when I went to pick it up I banged my head on the damn table," He said.
She laughed and said, "Who's the klutz now?"
He laughed along with her and after a few hiccup attacks from Jasper and a few bickering comments from Bella she finally got him to lay his drunken ass down. Before he hung up he mumbled out, "Call you tomorrow, Bells. Tell Alissssssss I ssssssaid bye."
"Alright Jazzy, will do. Love you," She said.
"Love you too," He sang out.
He loves her? Could that be her boyfriend? Or maybe it was her brother?
I couldn't figure it out. I left her door alone and went to bed. I was really worn out. I didn't know I how I felt about Bella.
She seems like she has a lot of problems.
Now that's not fair you have plenty of problems yourself.
Yeah thanks for that.
Anyways. She has an adorable laugh, the most beautiful big brown doe eyes, pretty long dark mahogany hair, and a wondrous smile.
She is pretty gorgeous.
Who knew you knew so many synonyms for pretty?
Wow sometimes I think I have ADD…. Can't focus AT ALL! (A/N: No offense to anyone that does have ADD)
I brushed away my inner monologue and fell asleep dreaming of the beautiful, wondrous, adorable, pretty, gorgeous Bella.
BPOV:
When I woke up I recalled dreaming of someone with dark hair…. I couldn't think of who it could have been.
The only dark hair I had seen in the past few days had been Edward with his bronze hair and Jake with his black hair.
I went downstairs where I found Esme sitting at the kitchen table with Carlisle.
That's his name right? Carlisle?
"Oh, good morning dear," Esme said standing up and hugging me.
I hugged her back and then sat down at the kitchen table.
The three of us ate breakfast and then a half naked Edward came down the stairs along with a fully dressed ready to go Alice.
I saw Edward go to the fridge and Alice sat down next to me.
"So, Bella, did you sleep good last night?" She asked me.
I nodded and watched Edward duck his head into the fridge. I watched the muscles in his back move while he did whatever he was doing. Alice cleared her throat and I quickly turned back around to her.
She started giggling like mad and I tried to get her to be quiet before someone caught on to me.
Breakfast for Alice and Edward consisted of a bowl of cereal and orange juice.
It was around 10:00 A.M. when…Carlisle? Excused himself to go do some yard work.
Edward said he would do it, considering it was his house he should have already done it, but Carlisle…? Said he would do it.
I heard the door open and then close a second later. Then Carlisle…? Walked back into the kitchen and pulled Edward to the side.
Edward was sighing a lot and Carlisle was nodding his head.
Eventually Edward sat back down and Carlisle went upstairs.
"What was that about, Edward?" Alice asked Edward leaning over the table.
"We're snowed in," Edward mumbled twirling the spoon in his left over milk.
I cleared my throat and said slowly, "Come again?"
"We're snowed in," Edward said somewhat more louder.
I nodded slowly and then pulled out my phone. I called Jasper and he picked up mid ring.
"Bella?" He said frantically.
"Are you okay?" I asked Jasper.
"Yeah, I was just about to call you Bells, are you alright?" He asked me.
"I'm fine Jazzy. We got a lot out of snow up here. We're snowed in," I said.
"Oh, no. Are you sure? Are you alright? Do you have enough food there? Are you going to be okay—"I cut him off.
"Jas, calm down. I'm sure, I'm fine, I'm sure Dr. Cullen will keep me safe, and surely her son has food stocked in the house around here somewhere," I said.
"Are you sure? Because I can get the plane and come out to get you," Jasper said slowly.
Ahh, the plane. Never again on planes…
"Jazzy, calm down," I said walking out of the kitchen and into the living room, "I'm fine here. I will be fine. Do not worry about me. Shouldn't you be calling your mom though?"
"Oh, shit, thanks for that Bells. Call me later, alright?" He said.
"Alright, love you Jas," I said.
"Love you too," He said.
I called Emmett and we had a brief conflict of how he was about to come out and get me but I convinced him Rose would want him to stay there.
I love my brother, but sometimes…I don't know what is wrong with him.
Driving in that much snow, impossible.
Shaking my head I went back into the kitchen where Alice and Edward were having a heated debate.
I cleared my throat and sat down in my chair.
"How's Jasper?" Alice asked me.
Hmm? Jasper? Why would you care? You don't even know the man…
"He's fine, I called Emmett too. I told you Emmett was my brother right?" I asked Alice.
She nodded and I said, "Well anyways he didn't want me to be in Chicago alone and I told him you guys would be here and he said that he didn't mean it that way…yada yada yada."
Alice laughed and Edward seemed to be extremely angry. I leaned over to Alice and whispered softly, "What's wrong with him?"
She shook her head and Edward stood up and grumbled something about having to do something.
When he left Alice grabbed my hand, ran me upstairs, flung the door open to my room, closed it, and flipped the lock. She bounded over to my bed and I sat down next to her.
"What's wrong with him, Alice?" I asked again.
She shook her head again and said, "He's upset about something, but he obviously cannot do anything about it so he just needs to forget it."
"The snow?" I asked.
"Um, yeah, sure," Alice said.
It's not about the snow, dummy!
What's it about then? Hmm?
I don't know. I just KNOW it's not about the snow.
Whatever, if you don't have any better ideas, then we're sticking with the snow.
Okay…
"Anyways, tell me more about Jasper," Alice said.
I quirked an eyebrow and said, "What do you want to know?"
Why all of sudden an interest in Jasper?
Maybe she 'likes' him…
Or she has an unbelievable crush on him?
But over a phone conversation?
Well…maybe she is just simply curious?
Maybe….
"Everything!" Alice practically shouted.
"Okay…He's 6'4 ish… he's got dirty blonde hair, it's long, southern accent but you already know that, and…um…he works for a company that does a lot of construction for the military. And…humph…What else is there to tell?" I asked.
"How'd you two meet?" Alice asked.
"Oh, we've known each other for like ever…We met when this boy pushed me down out of a chair when I was like 7 so Jas would have been 9. Anyways he told me that if the boy ever messed with me again he'd take care of him. We've been inseparable since then," I said.
She nodded and I said, "We even live with each other now."
She seemed less happy about that and I quickly understood what she was fishing for. "Hun, Alice, we are not, nor have we ever, been going out," I said.
She quickly stood up and clapped her hands, she flew out the door and I was confused out of my mind.
A few minutes later she came back and sat back down. "Okay?" I asked her.
"Yes, I'm fine," She said.
"Great," I said.
We sat in silence and then my phone buzzed.
Incoming Picture Mail
From: Jazzy
I opened the picture and saw Jasper standing next to a pile of snow taller than him.
"We got a little bit of snow too!"
I laughed and shoved the phone at Alice.
She studied the image, laughed and then said, "That's so funny."
I nodded and she handed the phone back to me.
She continued to bombard me with questions about Jasper until finally we were just sitting there.
"So, what's really bugging Edward?" I asked her.
She stared at the door and then looked back at me. "Can you keep a secret?" She asked me.
"Of course," I replied.
"And if I tell you, you can't act differently around him, okay?" She whispered.
"Promise," I said.
She leaned close and whispered in my ear, "What really is bugging Edward is he…"
Haha… It's short…I know. Don't bug me about that…please.
Um next chapter probably next week sometime because I have to study for tests…!
Luv ya…Review!
