A/N: Twilight, me? No. Never. All to Stephenie the great!
I'm going to experiment with some new POV's. Fluff and stuff. Some fighting perhaps? Don't worry, it'll be fixed by marriage! Hope you like it!
Jasper POV
Emmett and I were finishing up our Final Fantasy game when Edward and Bella came down to the living room. It was annoying sometimes when they came. All the love they felt, I couldn't always control it and I would end up sending some to Emmett or whoever was with me.
Since the wedding was so close, the love was even more. Lust was also a big part of it. Mostly from Edward, but since he can read my mind he would try to feel something else. Although emotions are hard for him to control, when he's more willing I can change his.
"Hi Jasper. Hi Emmett," Bella sat on the couch across the room from Emmett and I on the floor.
"Hello Bella. Sleep well?" I wasn't really listening to her and it was apparent that Emmett wasn't either.
"Yeah, hi," Emmett mumbled.
"Actually, I slept very well. What game are you guys playing?" Bella just wouldn't shut up. And I couldn't let Emmett beat me again because of her, I hated ignoring her. That was not the gentlemen way of handling things.
Tell Bella what game it is so I can concentrate Edward!
Edward laughed and pulled Bella closer. Love. It hit me like a ton of bricks. It was there before but when Edward touched Bella it shot out of her like a bat from hell. She didn't realize how much emotions affected me.
"It's Final Fantasy, love. I think we should probably keep to ourselves, Jasper is having a hard time concentrating." He laughed again. Agitating me and causing me to make Emmett even madder.
"Stupid freaking game! This is retarded. Can't you fight any harder! If I was in there I'd have finished this and I could go back 5 times before you can do it even once!"
"Calm down Emmett." I couldn't afford to touch him, I was losing the game.
I was in the middle of chopping heads off – so close to beating Emmett – 3 more guys then I can get to Emmett himself. Lust. All I could think about now was Alice. Oh my gosh. I wanted her right here, right now. Alice was so beautiful – her small soft hands, the way she held down my shoulders – her tiny mouth all over mine. Her kisses on my scars, her fingers tracing my muscles.
I dropped the controller at the same time Emmett did.
"Alice!"
"Rosalie!"
They both appeared at the top of the stairs. Alice was in a tight black mini skirt with her tight white tank top. She looked amazing. Amazing didn't even describe it.
At that moment I realized this was Edward's emotion.
"Edward!" The whole house shook as I growled out his name.
I turned to see him nearly falling off the couch with hysteria. Bella sat on the couch quite confused by all this. At least Edward had the courtesy to not say what Emmett and I had been thinking. I had stopped my lust for Alice, although it sounded like a good idea to me, but Emmett however had it practically rolling off of him.
"Rose, let's go to our room."
"I thought you were playing that stupid game today Emmett," Rosalie was always stubborn.
"Let's play a different game."
I heard the door slam, and I knew Final Fantasy was done for today.
"What did you need Jazz?" Alice's pet name for me always made me smile.
"I'm done playing my game. Let's do something."
"Okay! I was just thinking about going to the mall again. I need some new clothes. You can drive." She was bounding down the stairs and flung herself into my arms. "I was going to go with Rose, but you'll be much more fun!" With a quick kiss on the lips she jumped down from my grasp and pulled me by the hand to my car.
Alice happy always made me happy, even if it meant sitting in the clothes department for hours on end. But before I walked out the door I overheard some of Edward and Bella's conversation, or lack there of.
"Bella you know I love you, I don't just want your body. Although that's part of it, you are the most spectacular creature this earth has ever seen. You must know that I want you for more than that. Bella darling, I'm marrying you. I love you."
He kissed her and this time it was love, not lust that hit me. Sweet love, I knew Edward wasn't lying. When he looked in her eyes you could tell, I don't know how she couldn't feel that.
"Say that again Edward." Bella's voice came out quiet and uneven.
"I love you."
This time it was Bella, not Edward that the love came from. I didn't need to feel it to know. Her heart beat raced up higher than I though possible for humans.
She was sitting in his arms playing with the collar of his shirt.
"I know that Edward, it's just, you had to have gone over board to make Jasper and Emmett want the same thing."
Edward smiled, apologetically.
"I never said I didn't want you, it's just not the only reason. I am a man, love."
"Jasper! Come on!" Alice honked the horn while she screeched for me.
"I'm coming."
I got in the car and Alice was bouncing in her seat in anticipation. She loved knowing what Edward and Bella felt. She said it was the cutest thing ever. I however, didn't like recalling the feelings.
"Tell me everything!"
"Edward really wanted Bella, he was throwing lust around like crazy. Which was too much for me, I ended up hitting Emmett with it. That's when we both yelled for you and Rose. But then I realized it was Edward, so now we're going to the mall."
"You left out something. You left the house after I did. Tell me what happened then!"
I sighed as I pulled out of our driveway to head to the mall in Seattle.
"Edward explained to Bella, it wasn't just her body that he wanted. He loved her for her. Bella loves him back. It's just oh so cute." Sarcasm rang through my voice but I couldn't help laughing at Alice's tiny bouncing form next to me.
"Calm down silly. You're going to end up bouncing the whole car."
"I love you Jazz!"
I smiled down at her, "I love you Alice."
Esme POV
I was in the kitchen making Bella some lunch waiting for Carlisle to come home. It was just Edward, Bella, and I downstairs now. Jasper left with Alice to the mall and Rosalie and Emmett were upstairs. (Doing only heaven knows what.) I could hear Bella and Edward talking now.
"So when we leave Paris after the honeymoon we're going to Alaska. Correct?" Bella's attempt to sound like Edward was comical.
"Yes, that is where I'll bite you." Edward growled. I could hear Bella's heart stop for a second. I would have to have a talk with him. That just couldn't be healthy for her.
"Edward?"
"Darling?"
"Will I be beautiful?" Bella's soft whisper almost broke my heart, if that was possible. She didn't realize how beautiful she was now. I loved her like a daughter, and I knew it was her choice to join us, but I didn't like the worries it brought her. She must be so stressed.
"Bella, you are always beautiful. I've told you before, you do not see yourself clearly. But yes, along with the change your beauty will amplify. I will love you all the same. It doesn't matter to me Bella, what matters to me is this."
I could hear her heart accelerate so Edward must've touched her. I would miss that. Bella's heart was the sound of their love.
"Okay," her whisper was barely audible even for me.
"I love you, Edward."
"I love you, Bella."
Finally – my son – the loner of our family was happy. For too long did I see him suffer. I don't need love, he'd tell me. But now, now our beautiful happy Bella made Edward happy. Incandescently happy.
With the wedding coming in a matter of days I was anxious to leave. I loved my house here in Forks, but I wanted to start on a new house in Alaska. Besides, it'd been so long since I'd seen anyone from the Denali.
Carlisle came in the door. And I ran to him.
"How was work?" I asked taking his coat.
"Good, good. Nothing too exciting. Although, I am a bit hungry. Let's hunt, shall we?"
"Yes, just let me tell Bella about lunch. I've extended my cooking abilities into pasta today." I smiled at him as he laughed. He always said I was a good mother.
"Bella dear, I've made you some pasta for lunch, it'll be in the kitchen. Carlisle and I are going to go get some lunch of our own." I smiled at the little joke I'd just made.
"Thank you Esme."
Bella POV
All day Edward and I had been sitting on the couch and talking about our future. Everything had gone great, at least until the fight.
He said that with the Denali I'd be jealous, although I'd have no need to be.
"You have no need to be jealous Bella. You know that you are the only girl I see. But you, you are a jealous person, love." He smiled his crooked smile, as if that would help.
"I know that you don't feel the same to them Edward, but seriously. I am not that jealous. If what you say is true, I'll be just as beautiful as they are. I won't have to feel jealous. I will not be jealous, because they'll be my family. You guys all love them, and I will too! I'm not sure why you think I'll be jealous." I was fuming.
"Bella, when I even talk about Tanya you envy them. You envy her, because she likes me. She wants me. And that bothers you to the core!"
"It did before, but Edward we're getting married. She has no chance to have you. Not in the slightest. So really, she should be jealous of me."
"Bella, I can see it in your eyes. You are completely jealous of them, and we're not even there!"
I couldn't take it. I was not jealous. All I wanted was to be with Edward. I just wanted to kiss that stubborn jerk. But if I had to make my point I'd have to do something drastic.
"Edward, tonight, when you sneak into my window, if you so much as even think about getting into my bed, I'll never speak to you again. I want you to sit in the rocker. In fact, I don't want you in there. Not at all. I want a night alone." I tried to be forceful. And I think I made my point.
His face crumpled and to my satisfaction he agreed.
"Fine." He looked down at his hands before looking back up with fire in his eyes.
"Can I come in after you're asleep? What if you have a nightmare? What if you wake up and you need me?"
I knew it wouldn't be that easy to get rid of him. I hadn't had a nightmare in awhile. I was tired tonight, more so than usual. So I probably wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night.
"You are allowed to come in at 7 a.m. That is my final decision. And don't whine. I'm being generous."
I was royally satisfied by having him sad. It made me ecstatic that he was hurt because he couldn't be with me tonight.
"Can I borrow your cell phone?" If I was making him jealous, I had to do this right.
"Yes," he pulled it out and handed me the silver device.
I dialed the familiar number and waited for the answer I wanted.
It rang 3 times before he answered.
"Hello?"
"Can you come over tonight? I was wondering if you wanted to hang out for old time's sake."
Before I could barely finish my sentence Jacob hollered out in excitement.
"What time do you want me there Bells?"
Edward was fuming right now. His face made it evident that he was jealous. This was perfect.
"Do you mind coming now? Bring your dad if you'd like, I'm sure Charlie would love a visit. I'll be waiting."
"Alright. Bye Bells!"
I handed the phone to Edward who was still furious.
"Do you mind taking me home? Or do I need to get Charlie to get me?"
"I'll take you." His jaw clenched as he walked me to the volvo.
11 o'clock that night
Spending time with Jake had been a great idea. I was glad I got one last night with him. I just wish Edward and I had been on better terms. When he dropped me off, he tried yet again, to convince me to let him stay the night. He failed miserably. This was just too much fun, although I did want him. I couldn't let him know.
But now that Jake had gone I was lonely. I wouldn't let Edward know that though. This was the first night I'd actually chosen to be alone.
I grabbed my CD player and turned the music up as loud as it would go. I put my lullaby on repeat and closed my eyes – allowing the music to take me over.
I fell asleep that night, missing Edward with every fiber of my being. Our wedding was so close, and I only had a few sleeping nights left with him. How could I be that stupid?
One week and 3 days.
Review! Tell me what you think. Please, please don't be afraid to criticize. I want to become better! So seriously, if you find a part you don't like. TELL ME! And good reviews are wanted as well.
Haha.
