Chapter Two

-I'm Living My Life.-

Some people say you must suffer to be beautiful, apparently, Sergio believes you must be tortured to be beautiful. I have never seen so many hair tools that look like weapons.

Alice and Rose sat in the chairs next to me, watching the transformation. I'd asked for a lot of my hair to be cut off. It was almost to my ass before this little adventure, now it laid on my shoulders.

We couldn't get out of Sergio's fast enough. Alice and Rose were so excited to finally get shopping that we sped all the way to the mall.

I was ready for a new look. It felt like every thing I did, even as simple as cutting my hair, took me a step away from Renee and her bullshit and a step closer to Bella.

At the first store, Alice cornered me and made me try on about forty dresses I wouldn't even dream of wearing. They were extremely short and showed all the goods. I ended up buying them though, and I had to promise Alice I'd wear them.

The rest of the day, I was forced into situations like that. Being put in clothing that made me feel slightly uncomfortable. Alice didn't notice that I was slipping in stuff that I actually would wear too. It was mostly band tee's and jeans, but Alice would have a fit, especially pregnant Alice.

By six, I had a brand new wardrobe and we were heading back to Alice, Edward, and Jasper's house. I was still surprised when we had to be waved in by a strict looking security guard.

The neighborhood was called Yacht Cove. I wondered why until the trees by the road cleared and I got a view of the gorgeous lake.

We pulled into the cutest two story stone house and my jaw dropped. You could see the dock from the driveway. The water looked so peaceful.

"You'll have time for a tour later Bella, We've got to get you ready!" Alice and Rose dragged me up the stairs, through a living room with a giant entertainment system, a long hallway, and into an Electric blue bedroom.

"This is your room, do whatever you want to it. Your closet on the other hand, is under my jurisdiction until you learn how to use it." I laughed and shook my head.

She lead me into the bathroom and sat me in a chair. She left me there with a wicked looking Rosalie. "I hope you're ready for this Bella." She started applying makeup and doing my hair like a pro, which piqued my interest.

"What do you do Rose?" She poked me with some mascara by accident.

"I model. Though I'm kind of on a break right now." I nodded. It made sense, Rosalie was absolutely gorgeous and I would have been shocked if she didn't model.

After a while, she released me from her clutches and I wandered back into the bedroom to find Alice grinning evilly. She was holding a black dress and a pair of stilettos. Shit.

I guess the pixie saw my expression. "Jesus Bella, stop being such a prude. Wear the damn dress or feel my wrath."

I was not used to pregnant Alice and I wasn't about to test her boundaries. I took them from her hand as she watched me walk back into the bathroom, which Rose had vacated.

"Be dressed in ten minutes so I can make sure you look hot before we go." I nodded and shut the door. I quickly changed into the dress and stared at myself in the mirror. I was hot as fuck. I couldn't really believe it.

I stared at myself in the mirror for a couple of minutes. I wasn't used to my appearance. The old Bella was gone. The new Bella had a new look and new clothes, not to mention the new attitude.

I decided right then and there, I was going to have some fun. I'd been living in a little box in Phoenix and here I could let loose, and that's exactly what I was going to do tonight.

Rose and Alice looked stunning, of course. We climbed into the jeep, with Rose driving this time, and headed out about half an hour before we we're expected.

It was starting to get dark outside, but I still found so much beauty in the area. It was all greens and blues, which I loved.

I didn't even notice we were at the restaurant until I hear the door of the jeep slam. I climbed out and found Jasper waiting for me. He took my hand and helped me out.

"Thank you Mr..." I realized I didn't know his last name.

"Whitlock, and it's no problem, Miss Swan." I noticed the southern accent that made his voice absolutely perfect.

"How do you know my last name, but I don't know yours?" We started walking towards the entrance, right after Alice and Edward.

"Alice gave everyone your life story before you came. I found it quite interesting that you're afraid of pineapples." I stared daggers at the back of Alice's head.

"I'm not scared of them, I just strongly dislike them so much, I can't stand their presence."

He chuckled and opened the door of the restaurant for me. "That's adorable." I was a goner. He was perfect, but I was not about to let him know that.

He led me to a table that everyone was already sitting at. Emmett was studying the menu like it was the most important thing in the world and Rose was studying Emmett, it was cute how in love they were.

Edward was rubbing Alice's stomach. Jasper and I sat down next to each other. We were pretty close to each other and he smelled amazing. Like boy, but spicier.

"What should I get Jazzy?" He looked at me puzzled for a couple of seconds, but snapped out of it.

"Jazzy?"

I nodded. "It's customary for me to give my friends nicknames. Hence, Emmy bear, Ali-cat. I've decided that you will be my Jazz. Rose is a bit harder though."

He just shook his head with a beautiful, perfect smile on his face. "And what are you called?"

"I don't care what you call me. Just make sure it isn't Isabella, or I'll kick your ass."

He was about to say something, but the waitress stepped in. "What will you guys be having?"

Everyone except for Jasper and I told the waitress what they wanted. When it came to me, Jasper took control. "She'll have the shrimp domburimono. I'll have the beef." I just smiled at him when he gave me a funny look.

"So Bella, how do you like Forks so far?" How do I answer that question. Oh, it's great. I have a huge crush on the dude I live with, I have a business I didn't even know about, and my best friend is a big pregnant scary ball of mood swings.

"It's great." I laughed at myself and looked around the table. The couples were smitten with each other, leaving just me and Jazz to talk.

"What do you do Jazz?"

"I'm a bartender. I work at Sway, it's downtown." I didn't want to bombard him with questions but I wanted to know so much about him.

"How old are you?"

"22. You?"

"18."

"Wow. You don't seem 18. You're younger than Alice?"

"Yeah. I skipped a grade. I met Alice in the principals office after she'd called her teacher a polyester wearing fat-ass bitch." He chuckled and looked me over. I felt pretty good in my whore-like outfit and he seemed to like it.

An hour later we'd eaten and were deciding what we wanted to do.

"I think we should go see a movie." Edward suggested.

"I'd rather just go home Eddie, I'm really tired." Edward of course listened to Alice.

"Are you guys coming?" The question was directed towards Rose and Emmett. They exchanged a look.

"Nope. We have business to attend to." Emmett winked and made an ass slapping motion towards Rose.

"Okay. Jasper can you take Bella home?" "Of course." "But Bella, I really do want to talk to you when you get home." I nodded. I was glad I'd get to be alone with Jasper, maybe I'd get to ask him more questions. I bit my lip in thought and looked at Jasper, only to find him staring at me.

He shook his head and led me over to a black Mustang. I loved it. Charlie had taught me to appreciate fine automobiles, and this was definitely fine. "This is amazing, Mustang's are the best." He opened the door for me.

"Yeah. I got it as a graduation present from my parents. I got a jeep when I moved here too." Interesting.

We settled into a pleasant back-and-forth conversation and was slightly disappointed when we got home.

He opened the front door for me. "I think I'm going to go for a little swim. Care to join me Bells?"

Jasper, in a swimsuit, wet. Yes please! "Yes, I would. But I really need to talk to Alice right now. When I'm done?"

He nodded. "I'll be waiting."

I walked up the staircase and into the only open door in the hallway. Alice was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

"Ali?" She sat up and smiled.

"Hey, I've been waiting for you. Come sit by me." I crawled into the bed next to her.

"Listen Bella, I'm really sorry I stopped calling you. I'll probably never forgive myself for leaving you there."

"It's fine Alice."

"No, it's really not. I should have brought you with me! I knew what Renee was like and I left you there to rot. I thought when you started getting my letters, you'd understand why I was so busy and couldn't call but now I realize that there is absolutely no excuse for being such a shitty friend." Alice had started crying and all I could do to console her was let her lean against me and cry.

"I'll never blame you for what you did Alice. You got out, something I envy you for, and now you're going to have a family and I'm just happy I'm here now. There is absolutely no reason to dwell on the past when we can both have an absolutely amazing future together. We own a store for Christ sakes! But I have to warn you, now that I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." Alice giggled and pulled me into a hug.

"I want to show you the store tomorrow. You'll love it, then we can talk about getting you into the business side but I'm still going to need your help with the designs."

"Anything for you Ali. We can talk about all of this in the morning, you're tired. Oh, and we'll be talking about that baby bump in the morning too."

She grimaced and nodded. "Night Alice."

"Night Bella."

After I closed her door, I ran to my room and found one of the many skimpy bikini's I'd gotten while shopping. I choose a white one with dark blue stripes. I ran back down the stairs and outside.

The backyard was beautifully landscaped and the dock was two stories with a hammock on the second floor. There were lanterns strung all across the dock that illuminated the night. I walked to the end of the dock and watched the water.

I didn't hear when Jasper walked up next to me. "It's beautiful isn't it?" I just nodded and turned to look at him.

When I did, I wanted to take him back inside and have some fucking crazy sex. He had a gorgeous six pack, and was beautifully tanned. He had that whole sexy 'V' thing going on and it was so fucking hot!

He smiled and looked me over as well. I think he was affected like I was, I was looking damn good too.

"Let's go." He started walking down the dock, and on impulse I flew past him and dove into the lake. The water was cool, but it felt good anyways. I felt a splash and saw Jasper swimming towards me.

We played around in the water for a while, then dragged ourselves out and sat on the dock. "I'm going to get a beer, you want one?" I shrugged. He turned and walked back into the house. I stood and looked around. There was a tackle box in the corner of the dock, and I bent down to look at it, going through all the different lures.

For the second time that night, I didn't hear Jasper arrive behind me but this time I felt him. He had his hands on my hips and pulled me onto him and his obvious excitement. "If you bend over like this, I won't be able stay the gentleman I've been."

I stood and turned around. "Maybe I don't want you to be a gentleman." He pulled me closer to him and captured my lips with his. We were in a fight for dominance, he wanted to be in control, but I wasn't about to give it up that easily.

I let out a little moan and he broke away from our kiss. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

I decided to be a smart ass. "If you think you can handle me Jazzy, I'll do anything you want to."

Before I could say anything else, he had me slung across his shoulder, taking me into the house. He led me up the familiar staircase and down the familiar hallway, but stopped at a different door.

He opened it and I found a soft green room with a huge bed in it. Jasper threw me onto the bed and climbed on top of me.

"You have been teasing me all night and you didn't even notice. The way you blush, or bite your lip makes me want to do this..." He ripped my swimsuit top off, leaving me mostly naked. Before he could get my bottoms off, I'd gotten a hold of his swimsuit and pulled it down.

I stared for a few moments. He was huge. Wow. "Close your mouth Bella, you're catching flies." I let out a loud cackle and then immediately shut my mouth, earning a chuckle from the gorgeous naked god in front of me.

He wrapped his index fingers around the sides of my bottoms and slowly started pulling them down, teasing himself more than he was teasing me. I decided to speed up the process. I let out a loud moan and he effectively pulled them down in a millisecond.

He finished pulling them down. "Bella, I'm not going to be gentle." I heard him ripping open the condom packet.

"I don't want it gentle. Fuck me, and make it good."

Without any notice, he plunged into me. I let out a deep moan, he felt so good inside of me. He was pounding harder than I'd ever felt and it felt amazing.

He grabbed onto the top of the bedpost and drilled into me. I may have screamed his name once or twice or seven times.

He kept diving into me, and I pushed my hips into his at the same speed, which seemed to turn him on a lot. My fingernails trailed down his back, I was sure that I'd left a mark but the pleasure felt so good I couldn't help it.

Jasper was letting out moans and throwing his head back, but he kept a serious look of concentration on his face. "Jesus Bella, I've never felt something this amazing."

I couldn't help the moans escaping my mouth and after a while, I couldn't help the familiar feeling of an impending orgasm.

I think Jasper could tell because he ran his thumb over my tiny bundle of nerves, which made me start to shiver with pleasure.

My back arched and I whispered Jasper's name. He was panting as he came. After he'd disposed of he condom, he laid next to me.

"Damn. That was... fuck." He was leaning on his arm, looking at me. His breathing was still wild and his hair looked like a birds nest. I nodded and grinned like the Cheshire cat., I didn't want to try and talk, It wouldn't make any sense if I did.

He pulled me next to him, and I laid my head on his stomach. His breathing eventually lulled me to sleep.
