Disclamer: i do not own any of the characters.
im glad you guys like the nice Rosalie, i do too. i know, Bella acts a lot like Alice, but she is suppose to. in the actual book Jazz likes Alice for who she is, so i thought i would add some Alice-like traits to Bella.
finally, this is the bet scene. it might not be as good as some would expect, but i love it.
on with the story...
"Ok, this shouldn't take too long guys. Are you ready?" I asked them.
"they all said "yep", and we hopped out. I went over to get a cart.
"Ooh, Ooh I wanna push it!" I turned around to see Emmett jumping up and down with his hand in the air.
We all laughed at him. Rosalie smacked him in the back of the head.
"Fine, Fluffy Bear, you can push the cart." I looked at him.
"YESSSSSSS!" Man, he is such a child. "Onward we go!" He started to march, Rose followed.
I looked over at Jasper, who hasn't moved. "Jazz?" He needed to be happy, I don't like seeing him like this. Stop it Bella! I didn't listen to myself.
"Jasper?" I still didn't look at me yet.
Finally he looked my in the eyes. "I'm fine." He smiled, and I immediately believed him.
"Good, now lets catch up to the others." I pulled him into the store by his hands and I felt a spark shoot up my arm, I ignored that.
We found the others in the magazines. Emmett was looking at a comic and Rose was looking in a fashion magazine.
"Fluffy, Rose, do you…" I stopped talking when I heard someone else.
"How the hell does she get to hang out with them?" It was Lauren talking to Tyler in what I assumed was a whisper, even though we all could hear her.
I gaped at her for a second, then looked at Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett. They all looked pissed and were looking at me to see if I was going to do something. I notice I was still holding Jaspers hand and I dropped it.
Then I thought of something. I smirked evilly at "them", as Lauren referred to them as, and winked. They looked taken aback. "Hey Emmett, go get a pie and take it out of the box for me, please." He looked confused but did as I said. I didn't say it loud enough for Lauren and Tyler to hear.
I turned to Lauren, and took a step closer to her. "Well, Lauren, figures you would be the one to say that." Even after two days I know I don't like her. "I, unlike you, a skanky bitch, can actually make other friends." She looked shocked, but I wasn't done yet. "And, I'm not so conceded as to only think of myself, like you do. I would say that is a plus on my part, wouldn't you say guys?" I looked over at Rosalie, who was smirking, and at Jasper, who was shocked.
I saw that Emmett came back and he actually thought to hide the pie.
Rosalie came to my side, a hand behind her back, with the pie in it. Tyler and Lauren were clueless.
"Yes Bella that is something I absolutely love about you." She put her free hand around my shoulders, and with her other hand, placed the pie in my hands that I moved to behind me.
"Hey Lauren?" I smiled at her, she looked suspicious.
"What Bella?" her voice was dripping with acid, but it was not at all scary.
"Would you like a pie? You look like you could use one." I told her sweetly.
"Not I done." She hissed.
"Well that's too bad." I took the pie from out from behind me. "I would hate to waste this."
I looked sideways at Rosalie. "Push me Rose." I whispered through my teeth.
Rose pushed my, and it caused me to accidentally loose hold of the pie. It flew right into her face. That was even better that expected. She screamed.
Everyone in the store looked at us. "Oh my gosh Lauren! What happened?" I said loudly for the closet people to hear me. "Lauren, you should probably get that cleaned up."
"YOU!" she screamed at me. "YOU DID THIS TO ME!" She pointed at me. I was trying to hold back the laughter, I could see that Tyler was too.
"Lauren, I would never." I said innocently.
I turned around and headed down the farthest isle from the scene. I couldn't hold the laughter anymore. Emmett, Rose, and Jasper joined soon after.
"Thanks for the… push, Rose." I said between laughs.
"No problem Bella, it was too funny." She told me, her laughter was more under control.
"Yea Bella, you're brilliant!" Emmett chimed in.
"Ok, lets hurry this up so Jazzy Boy can do my test. You know, we never really made the consequences." I told him. "20 bucks?" I offered, and held out my hand.
He took it. "Deal."
We finished getting everything I needed, and things for Charlie. It mostly consisted of fruits and veggies, but I got some meat for my dad. The others were so much fun to hang out with, especially Emmett and his child-ness. We finished in about 45 minutes.
When we made it to the car, they boys put the bags in the back. "Ummm…Rose? Can I drive?" I asked Rosalie, who was going to drive again.
She raised her eyebrows at me. "Why?"
"Ummm… 'cause I wanna drive, and you don't know where I live." The truth is that I really want to drive the escalade.
She laughed at my expression. "Sure Bella. You can drive."
"OH YEA!!" I jumped up and down while clapping my hands in a happy dance.
"Calm down Bella, it's just a car." Jasper said, putting a hand on my shoulder. Upon his touch, a wave of calm washed through me. Does he really have that big an effect on me?
I climbed into the drivers seat after all the bags were put in the back. Once I hit the open road, I hit the gas.
"Whoa, someone likes to go fast." Jasper said.
"Well duh Jazz, she drives a motorcycle." Emmett told him.
"I know that Emmy, but this isn't a motorcycle." Jasper defended himself.
"Hey, what can I do? I love to go fast." I told them all. "I would go faster, but my dad's a cop and I don't think he would like me to get in trouble in my first week here."
We arrived at my house soon after we left. I skipped to the door. I looked back at the car and thought I should help bring the groceries in.
"No Bella. The guys can handle it themselves." Rosalie told me, probably noticing I was about to walk over to the guys. He hooked her arm in mine and headed for the door.
"Hey! That's not fair!" Emmett whined.
"Oh come on Fluffy Bear, its no big deal. And plus, I have some business to attend to with Bella here." Rosalie told them.
Jasper was about to say something, but the look in Rosalie's face stopped him.
Well I guess I can' argue with that. I opened the door and Rose and I stepped in.
When we got to the kitchen, I looked at rose with my eyebrow raised. "So Rose, what is this business that we have?"
She smirked. "Oh nothing, I just said that so the boys wouldn't complain." She laughed.
"Hey, I'm thirsty. Do you want anything to drink?" I asked her.
She stopped laughing and looked a little uncomfortable. "No thanks. I'm alright."
"Well, ok then." I looked at her for a second, then went to grab a glass.
The boys came in then, giving Rosalie a weird look. What is going on with these people?
"You can just set those on the counter, guys." They did as I said.
"Wow Bella, you certainly have a lot of fruits, vegetables and dairy, and barely any meat." Emmett commented.
"Oh yea, that's 'cause I don't eat animals." The looked at each other funny. "I'm a vegetarian, the meat is for Charlie. I, personally, think hurting animals for food is cruel and people shouldn't do it. I mean, there are many other things people could eat." Then they looked at me with a strange expression, and back at each other. "You can laugh, but that's just what I think."
"Oh no, no, no Bella. We're vegetarians too, of some sort." Emmett said.
"Really? Is that why I never see you guys eat?" There has to be a reason for that.
"Umm…" They all looked extremely uncomfortable. "That's part of it, I guess." Rosalie said.
I looked at them suspiciously for a second, and then turned to put groceries away.
"We'll help you Bella." They started to pull things out of the bags.
"Thanks. We really don't have anything in the cupboards so anywhere is good." I informed them.
We finished in about 20 minutes. We didn't talk much and at first it was uncomfortable, but steadily got better.
"Alright Jazzy Boy, are you ready to go?" I asked Jasper.
"Whatever Bella, we can go." He rolled his eyes.
When we got to the park, there were a lot of people. I think its because it wasn't raining today, but it's perfect!
"Looks like Jazz is gonna have a good audience." Emmett said, smacking Jasper on the shoulder.
"Lets go!" I said, smiling.
We walked to the middle of the park, and I turned to Jasper. "Ok, all you need to do is dance." I told him.
"Dance?" he looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"Yep, I will borrow someone's radio and pick a station, whichever one I chose, you mush dance accordingly." I smiled sweetly at him.
"Fine, fine." He said, sighing.
"Rose, Fluffy Bear, will you help me get peoples attention?" I said while walking in a circle. I found a piece of cardboard and put it in front of Jasper, he just looked at me.
"People, people!" I called out to everyone. The people closest stopped and looked at me. "Will you all please join my friends and I in watching this boy here dance?" I pointed to Jasper. They all looked at him, and some started whispering to the person they were with. "Oh and by the way, does anyone have a radio?"
Luckily, someone did. I turned it on and flipped to a hip hop station. I looked at Jasper. "Ok Jazz, DANCE!" I backed away to give him room.
He was amazing. He did some flips, some spins and even a hand stand. It was like watching one of the worlds best break dancers. I didn't think he would do any of that kind of stuff. Everyone watching started wolf-whistling and clapping.
My plan defiantly backfired. It's not like I wanted to have him make a fool of himself, he's too good for that. And I would hate to embarrass him. Bella, stop thinking like that. You don't like him, not in the slightest.
Why do I ever listen to myself? I know for a fact that I do like Jasper, more than I have ever liked a boy. He is amazing. Sweet, caring, funny, and a gentleman, not like any other boys. I was falling for him, and falling hard.
He finished his routine with a little bow. Whoa is he HOT! Everyone was clapping and I joined in, Emmett was laughing, and Rosalie was grinning.
Jasper came to my side. "I told you so." He whispered into my ear. I shivered.
I turned to him. "I guess I owe you 20 bucks."
I looked to the crowd, they were still watching, some even threw money into the circle they made around Jasper. "Ok everyone, the show is over. Thank you for stopping and watching." They left slowly, probably hoping for an encore.
"Was that all you had for me Bella? I'm must admit, I'm disappointed." He said.
"Well, I was going to make you ride a unicycle and juggle, but I decided against it." I smiled at him. "That was amazing though. I really didn't think you would do it."
"Yea Jasper, I didn't even know you could do that." Emmett punched him in the arm.
"Way to go bro." Rose said.
I just kept looking at Jasper. He was just so awesome. I can't believe I once wanted to know what he was, and now I know what it is; amazing, the boy I have a major crush on. I really could care less if he was from a different planet. Its kinda scary how much I like this boy when I met him less than 3 days ago.
"So what do you guys want to do know?" Emmett asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Umm.. I gotta go to the bathroom. Rose, come with me?" I looked at her.
She looked suspicious. "Ok."
"We'll be right back." I told the boys, then turned and headed to the nearest restroom.
When we got there, Rosalie gave me a look, it said 'What is going on?' "I know you don't really have to go to the bathroom Bella, so spill." She crossed her arms.
I turned to look at her. I had to tell someone my feelings for Jasper, and she was the closest thing I hade to a best friend right now. "I…" I took a breath. "I think… I like you brother." I hid my face in my hands. "I just don't know how to tell him.
She didn't say anything for a while, so I looked up at her. She looked a little uncomfortable, unsure and a little happy. "Umm… wow, Bella."
I'm a little confused by her reaction, but blew it off. "What should I do Rose?"
She looked me straight in the eyes. "Bella, are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm positive. It's really weird, I have never felt this way about anyone before. It kinda scares me." I admitted.
She smiled at me. "I think you should tell him, Bella. Just be honest with him, if it is meant to work, it will." She looked a little said as she said that. I couldn't imagine the reason though.
"I don't know if I can do that. I mean, I'm not sure he even likes me back," I told her.
"I'm pretty sure he does." I looked at her doubtfully. "No listen Bella, he has never cared for someone outside of the family before, let along dance in public for them." She put her hands on my shoulder. "Tell him."
"I still don't know. We have only known each other 2 days."
"So? Why should that change anything?" She poked me.
I nodded my head. She grabbed my hand and led me back to where that boys were.
"Finally! Ok, now what does everyone wanna do?" Emmett asked as soon as we got close to them.
"Umm… who wants to walk around a bit? I saw a lake around here somewhere." I looked to Rosalie.
"I'll go," Jasper said.
"I don't feel like it. There's this shoe shop a couple blocks over, it looks nice." Rosalie looked at Emmett.
"I'll go with you Rose." Emmett looked at Jasper.
"You guys go, we'll meet here in an hour?" I looked to everyone. They nodded.
The two groups went their separate ways. Jasper and I walked in silence for a while. I kept wondering if I should just tell him. I think he noticed something was off.
"Bella? Are you ok?" He looked down at me.
I looked back at him, his beautiful topaz eyes were concerned. "Yea, I'm fine."
"I don't believe you." He pulled me over to a bench a little off the path. No one was around. "So, what's wrong?"
I put my head in my hands, again. After a couple of seconds, I boosted my courage and looked at him. "I… think I… like you. No, I don't think, I know I do. I just don't know if you like be back and now I feel like an idiot." I said after I saw the look in his face.
He looked shocked and like he was going to say he didn't like me back. I put my head in my hands for the third time today.
To my complete embarrassment, he laughed. Tears formed in my eyes and as I looked at him, they spilled over. "I don't think that's funny." How could he be so mean? I just confessed my feelings to him, and he laughs? I got up and walked away from him.
"No Bella, it's not funny." I'm confused. He got up and stood in front of me.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked him.
"Listen Bella, I was going to tell you the same thing." I looked into his eyes, all I saw was sincerity.
"Really?" I don't believe it.
"Yes, really. I have never cared for anyone, outside my family, that is until you came along." Rosalie said that same thing. "Didn't you see what I just did for you, granted you owe me money now, but it's still the same."
Despite his little joke, the tears kept coming. I hugged him and cried into his chest. He was shocked at first, but soon wrapped his arms around me too.
"Bella?" I looked up at him. "Why are you crying?"
"Because you feel the same way. I don't even care what you are either. I just care about you." I told him.
"What do you mean by 'what you are'?" His perfect forehead gained lines of confusion.
"Nothing, it doesn't matter."
He saw that I wasn't going to say anything more about it, so he didn't push the matter. "I care about you too Bella." He leaned down to me.
I stood on my tippy toes, he hesitated for a moment, just looking into my eyes, and then out lips met. His were cold, but not at all unpleasant. Sparks flew through my lips and he pulled my closer. I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers through his soft hair. One of his hands was at the small of my back, pulling us still closer together and the other was running through my hair.
His tongue traced my bottom lip, wanting an entrance. I was shocked at first, but quickly obliged. Our tongues danced together, and my heart beat like it was going to jump out of my chest. His fingers traced my spine, sending shivers through my body. I'm pretty sure I felt him smile. I pulled away reluctantly because I had to breathe, and because he was holding me really tight.
"I'm sorry Bella, I took that too far." He let me go and looked away from me, ashamed of himself.
I placed my hand on his cheek, wanting him to look at me, he didn't. "Jasper." He still didn't look at me. "Jasper, look at me." Finally his eyes met mine. "It's ok, I didn't try and stop you did I?"
He kissed my cheek. "No you didn't, but you don't get it."
"Then explain it to me."
"I don't know if I can." He looked away from me again.
"It's nothing, just forget that I said anything, please Bella." He looked back at me, his eyes pleading.
I sighed. "Ok, whatever you say."
"Do you still want to walk some more?" he asked me.
"No I don't. How long do we have anyway?" I asked.
He looked at his watch. "About 45 minutes."
"So what do you wanna do?" I looked at him.
"How about we just sit down and talk for a while?" He gestured to the bench.
"Sure." I smiled, but instead of heading to the bench, I went the other way, through the trees. I found a pretty tree, away from where people walk. I smiled back at him.
aren't they so cute together!
