"He wanted you to join? So who is this he?" Charlie questioned eagerly
"Jasper Hale." I said quickly
"You're good friends with Jasper? I though no one was friends with him."
"Well, aside from his siblings, I pretty much am his only friend. And um, we're a little more than friends." I quietly admitted
"So he's your boyfriend. Are you being safe?" Charlie asked nosily
"Well, I wouldn't exactly say that."
"You're not being safe? Bells, you're 17, you can't get pregnant!" he started
"No dad, relax, that's not what I meant. We haven't done anything to be safe with. He's not exactly my boyfriend. We've never confirmed anything."
"Well then how are you more than friends? I thought that was the next level up. If that's not it then what is?" he asked
Jasper's POV
"Jasper!" Alice yelled, sounding worried. What was she worried about? Did she have a vision?
"What? What's going on?" I asked worriedly
"Bella's dad thinks you're doing her. And not using protection." she said sadly
"Alice, do I even want to know what just came out of your mouth?" Esme asked, clearly not understanding
"Shit." Alice whispered
"Alice, I just heard that too. Now tell me what's going on" Esme said, sounding upset
"She had a vision about Bella's dad" I told her
"Alice, what happened in the vision?" Esme asked her worriedly
"He thinks Jas and Bella are fucking- I mean doing- dammit-OOPS! I MEAN HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX!" Alice yelled. If she wasn't a vampire I swear she would've been crying
"Alice, what kind of language have you picked up in high school? But really he thinks that? Jasper, I need an honest answer, have you?" Esme questioned us
"NO! I don't believe in that before marriage." I exclaimed
"*cough* prude*cough*" stated Alice
"Ok, Alice, we all know we can't cough, and have good enough hearing to hear your choice of words. Why is Jasper a prude?" Esme asked her, annoyed
"He doesn't like the word sex." Alice laughed
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH EMMETT FUUUUUUCCCKKK!" screamed Rosalie from the 5th floor
I felt like I was going to vomit. They tried to stay quiet but sometimes got loud.
"ROSALIE! EMMETT! GET DOWN HERE NOW!" yelled Esme, angrily
10 seconds later they were both standing in the living room with us, messily clothed. Rose was in a short purple silk nightie, no bra and no underwear. Emmett was wearing Superman boxers and his chest was wet, as was Rosalie's hair. I had no intention to find out why.
"Sorry Esme! It just slipped out like it sometimes does!" Rose exclaimed
"Both of you better get it together and it better not happen again." Esme said coldly
"And about me and Bella without protection, its not a big deal. Charlie will find out the truth eventually." I said as I left the room to return to my bedroom and read some Shakespear
Bella's POV
"The next level up is almost boyfriend." I informed my completely confused dad
"Oh. Well I don't understand and I don't plan to. I have some paperwork to deal with and I need quiet to do it." Charlie told me
"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow then. I have homework to do." I replied
"Night Bells." he said, hugging me. I hugged back
I had to do a crapload of homework, and had a few tests to study for. Oh, the business of high school. Somewhere along my process of studying, I managed to unconsciously fall asleep on my book. Go figure. I woke up to my alarm beeping, trying to remember when I fell asleep. No memory of it.
When I had woke up, Charlie was already gone. I walked out the door and was halfway to my truck before I realized that Jasper was waiting for me, in his car, parked in my driveway. I walked over to the car, trying not to stumble and fall. For once I succeeded. He was over to the passenger door before I was even half way there. He opened the door for me. No one had ever done that before. As soon as my door closed, or maybe sooner, I couldn't tell, he was already settled back in the driver seat.
"Hello, beautiful." he said, with a smirk
"Hi, um, Jasper." I replied awkwardly
"So your dad knows we haven't, you know? Right?" he asked nervously
"Yeah, I told him last night, wait, how did you know he asked?"
"Alice sees the future, remember?" he replied
"Oh yeah. I forgot that there for a minute."
The rest of the drive to school, not taking very long because he was driving at least 50 miles over the speed limit, was silent. School went by in a blur. The only moments I could remember were going to the biology room at lunchtime to catch up on notes, but instead of a teacher, finding Rosalie and Emmett together. Rosalie was giving Emmett a lap dance, and it was humiliating to walk in on that, especially at school. Couldn't they wait until they got home? Or even do it before school? They should know that no one wants to witness them. Clearly they don't.
2 months later...
Jasper's POV
"Jasper, I think we should invite Bella over for dinner this week." stated Esme
"Really, you think it's safe to have a fragile little human in a house with a bunch of vampires, for a meal that we won't even be eating?" I questioned her seriously
"I do in fact think it's safe because you've been around her scent long enough that you should be getting immune to it, and the rest of us have been restraining from human blood longer than you have, so I guarantee she'll be fine." she reminded me
"Alright. I'll invite her over for tomorrow night." I said, moving away from her view
I didn't think it was the best idea to invite Bella over to our house. It was easier to control my thirst while around a lot of humans, instead of just one. I guess it had a stronger effect then, to resist the urge to kill them. Maybe it was because some of them smelled revolting, but that's just a possibility. It may really have nothing to do with the situation. I guess I'll never know.
Later that day, I was over at Bella's house after school. Her dad wasn't home yet, and he hadn't met me yet. We had decided that he would in the very near future, though, since we were really official now and didn't seem to be fading at all. Instead, we seemed to just be growing stronger. Like we were meant for eachother. I don't think like most normal minds do, I believe that you can tell you're meant for someone when you've only been together for 3 months. I had just recently taken the time to consider it though, but otherwise I probably would've noticed it sooner. Much sooner.
"So, Bells. My family wants to meet you officially, so they want you to come over for dinner tomorrow night." I told her
"Um, you guys don't eat though. How would that work out?" she questioned me
"We may not eat, but we want to prepare something for you as a nice gesture, plus then we wouldn't be lying to your father when he wants to know why you're coming over. Also, that way, he wont have the idea that we're vampires. If he knew that, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't let you be with me anymore." I explained to her thoughtfully
"Oh, ok. I guess that makes sense."
"I thought it would." I said, smiling at Bella, leaning down to kiss her. Somehow that wound up being more than I intended it to be. I wrapped my arms around her waist without thinking, and she snaked her arms around my neck and messed up my hair a little bit. We were making out for the first time ever. No, I had to stop this. It was dangerous for Bella. But it just felt so good, and we weren't hurting anything, were we? All of a sudden, Jacob Black pulled into Bella's driveway.
Bella's POV
Wow. I was actually making out with Jasper and not embarrassing myself or dying. This was seeming so easy. Just when it seemed simple, Jacob pulled up to my driveway. He had the most disgusted look on his face that I'd ever seen. Jas pulled away from me slowly, not letting his arms come off me. Jacob climbed out of his truck and walked over to us. He looked mad.
"What the hell is this?" Jacob practically growled
