(Bella's POV)
I was completely red.
Here was this guy who I didn't even know, down on his knees singing, in a very off tune voice- My Heart Will Go One by Celine Dion. Two words- horribly embarrassing.
This was exactly like a nightmare I had just nights ago. Only this was way worse. Not even my imagination could dream up something this bad.
Are guys even supposed to sing this song to girls? Especially since a woman originally sang this. I mean it's the theme song for Titanic, it's just not meant to be sung in the school hallways as a love song.
All I could do was stand there shocked as he sang on. My eyes were widened with fear and body felt like it was going through an electric socket.
Jasper looked horrendous; his facial features were all scrunched up like he just had a pretty sour lemon.
Only then did I see Edward walk in through the doors of the school and hold back a snicker. I shot him back a glare. Horrible, good for nothing person he is!
Could he have any worse timing? I would never be able to live this down now…
I felt despair wash through me. This day was horrible. First all the torture I had to go through with Maria.
They will all be interested about Luke since he's new here. Edward kissing me during the auditions, how Jaspers is now my boyfriend, and last but not least, Laurens petty little lies. Then to finish off this wonderful list, my were nightmares being played over in real life. Just wonderful, a dream come true- literally.
The rest of the school was now filling in from the parking lot and also got to witnesses the superb little event taking place.
A girl emerged from the crowd with anger almost rolling off her in waves. "How dare you sing a love song to her in front of the school when you have a girlfriend. You two timing person, you! We are now officially done!"
This was too much. My eyesight went blurry and legs started to give out on me. I hit the floor with a loud thud and the last thing I heard was Edward's magnificent laugh.
3 Months Later…
(Jasper's POV)
I fingered the black velvet box in my tux pocket. At the corner, I turned my black BMW towards Bella's mansion. I parked my car in her driveway and stepped out. Colorful flowers bloomed around Bella's door. I knocked on the hard wood door three times. After a moment, Charlie answered.
"Hello Jasper. I suppose you're here to pick up Bella for your date?" Charlie said. He smiled, but not very enthusiastically. Charlie still wasn't optimistic about Bella dating anyone.
"Yes sir." I answered politely as I stepped onto the marble floors. He nodded and called Bella.
"Coming!" Bella called from upstairs. She appeared at the top of the staircase, and I drew in my breath. She was wearing a magnificent red silk dress that flowed around her ankles. Her curly hair was cascading down her back. Bella slowly walked down the stairs and blushed when she saw my stunned gaze.
(Bella's POV)
I walked down my marble stair case, hoping I wouldn't trip in the death trap heels that Maria had forced upon my feet. I looked first at Charlie, then at Jasper. He was looking at me intently, and I could feel a blush creeping up my face. I reached the bottom successfully, letting out a small sigh of accomplishment
Jasper met me at the bottom, and held out his hand for me to take. My slender hands fit nicely into his icy ones. He wrapped his free arm around my waist, and I wrapped my arm around his neck.
"You look beautiful." He whispered. His marble lips formed each word with so much certainty, that I couldn't help but believe him. I leaned in until our foreheads were touching. Jasper smiled warmly and gazed into my eyes.
"Ahem!" Charlie cleared his throat loudly. I reluctantly pulled away and looked at him. He gave us a stern look that shouted No PDA (Public Display of Emotion) in my house! I sighed, he was such a fun sucker sometimes.
Charlie stared another lecture. "Bella I expect you to be home by 11:30. No later or I'll call the police. I don't care if your one minute late." He looked at Jasper. "And don't even think about you and Bella getting-"
I quickly said "Thank you dad for that wonderful lecture but Jasper and I really need to go now and-" Suddenly, some one started to shout.
"Wait! Bella! Wait!" Luke was sprinting down the slick marble staircase. He was holding a cell phone and a twenty dollar bill. "You forgot your-" Half way down the stairs his socked feet slipped out from underneath him and he landed on his rear.
But it didn't stop there. His slid down the stairs, one by one. His face was a mask of shock, fear, and pain. He reached the bottom and I thought he would come to a stop. But he didn't.
Luke slid across the marble floor like a bowling ball. He smashed into a side table which started to rock dangerously. On to of that table was a very expensive looking gold and crystal vase. The table tipped over with the vase and I shut my eyes, expecting to hear a huge crash.
After a moment, I opened my eyes to see Jasper next to the table. He was holding the vase in one hand and supporting the tipped table with one foot. How in the world did he get over there so fast?
I glanced over at Luke who was sitting on his rear against the wall. His cheeks were slightly flushed as he stammered, "Oh-Oh dear! I'm very sorry!" He bit his lip and tried to straiten up. Unfortunately, Luke hit his head on the large painting above him. It popped off the nail it was hanging on, and seemed to fall in slow motion.
Jasper reached out again and caught the painting with his free hand before it fell. I let out a sigh of relief. Nothing had broken, yet. Luke stood up again and dusted his pants off.
He stepped toward Charlie to apologize, but his feet slipped out from underneath him again. This time he slipped on his stomach. He slid towards the kitchen door where my chef was walking out.
My chef was holding a huge silver platter with porcelain plates stacked on top of each other. One of the bigger plates was full of delicious looking pastries. He looked up in surprise when he heard Luke's yells.
Luke crashed into the chef's feet, causing him to loose balance and topple over. The silver plate flew up in the air, followed by jelly-filled sweets. The sliver plate was heading strait towards me, spinning through the air like a Frisbee.
Too stunned to move I watched in horror as it came nearer. Suddenly, a white hand shot out and caught it. I could see my flabbergasted reflection in the sliver plate. But it wasn't over, not yet. The pastries and plates soared in right after the plater. I glanced over at Jasper who was watching them fall. When they came in range, Jasper positioned his plate underneath them so to catch them.
The pastries all fell on the platter, right side up and in a neat circle. The plates also landed, in a neat stack next to them.
Wow, that guy should be an acrobat. Smiling I went up to Jasper and helped him unload the many things he was holding. Luke just looked sheepishly at as and raced back up the stairs not wanting to cause anymore destruction. I couldn't help but giggle, because he reminded me of a dog with his tail between his legs.
I grasped Jasper's hand and pulled him out the door before Charlie could lecture us some more. Once we were out of hearing and seeing distance from the house, I turned towards Jasper. The night breeze ruffled his hair. Moon light washed over the green grass bathing it. He bent his head down and looked at me.
He smiled, and I forgot all about asking him about how he managed to catch everything. I smiled back at him and he tucked a stray hair behind my ear. His cold fingers brushed my cheeks. He gently placed his hand under my head and pulled me closer.
I closed the space between us, and our lips met. I ran my fingers through his soft, golden hair. His smooth lips gently molded into mine. He pulled away too soon. I gazed into his eyes. Usually, they were bright liquid gold, but tonight the looked darker. Was it a trick of the light?
I tried to resist the urge of kissing him, but I didn't try hard enough. I kissed him, and he kissed me back. My breathing became heavy as he deepened the kiss. He pulled me in closer by the waist. I pulled away this time, gasping for breath.
Jasper smiled and stroked my hair. He grabbed my hand and led me to his car. After we were comfortably in, Jasper drove off. I noticed he seemed impatient, as if the car was going to slow, even though we were almost fifty miles above the legal speed limit.
We drove in silence. The trees flashed by, and Jasper turned up his drive way. I'm not sure what kind of house I was expecting, but I sure wasn't expecting this. I mean, I should have guessed Jasper's house was going to be this big, seeing that his mom was a world famous interior designer and his dad was the most trusted and famous plastic surgeon in history. But still, who gets used to such glamour?
He came around the car and took my hand. "Are you ready? Everyone's going to be there and Edward and Alice will be back from their trip to Africa…" He led of in thought. I could see his face change as he said Alice's name. I bit of love and adoration was one way to describe it. But when he said Edward's name…
Those two had been gone for the last past month. I had gotten to know Edward and Alice for two months then both the siblings had left. I realized the way I felt about Edward had changed, but I was too afraid to admit it. He didn't seem to change; he still dated girls as rapidly as before and was still quite annoying when he wanted to be. I was even thinking that tonight I might end things with Jasper. I loved him more like a brother then a lover and I knew he felt the same way.
Realizing he was waiting for an answer I looked up at him and smiled. "Let's go."
