A/N:

It is nice to see how many Florida readers there are! So glad Fay didn't bother you all too much.

Eshizz, although I have to admit, it would be a very comical senior prank if the timing is right, just be careful you don't get in trouble! LOL

Silver Speed Demon, I am happy you are enjoying the story ;) I guess just knowing what the southern weather is like, makes it a bit predictable, but it's rather odd how spot on the story has been…Yikes! I better be careful what I write next!!

booksickle I sure hope you weren't looking out the window like Jasper when your transformer blew! You were able to live that part of the story first hand!

It's so awesome to see everyone enjoying this story. It is a great motivator for writing. Oh yes, and have a glass with some ice and sugar for the lemon…coming right up! Cheers!!

Previously:

It was only a moment or two after that before the rubber rings started flying off the top of the fan in all directions. I was being pelted by…HOLY SHIT! I was being pelted by flying rubbers! Out of the package, unusable, flying rubbers! Rose pulled the covers over her head as I heard her giggling beside me.

"BELLA!!"

APOV

I was so glad the girls weren't sleeping in our room tonight. I guess I never actually thought that they would but I still had to ask them. I just couldn't sleep in Jasper's room tonight. The memory from his accident was too fresh. I quickly changed into my pink silky pajama set. A silky half shirt and boy shorts bottom. I just wished Jasper could see them on me.

"The bed is ready honey. Let me help you get comfortable." I told him. I took his hand and led him carefully over to the bed. Jasper sat on the edge of the bed as I moved to stand between his legs in front of him.

"Alice, you have been so wonderful to me. I am so glad that we found each other." He said while he reached up to touch my face.

"We were meant to be together Jazz. It's something I've know from the moment I first saw you. It's fate." I answered dropping my face to his so I could kiss his lips.

"You make me very happy; in a way that I have never felt happiness before. I feel so complete now that I have you." He said as he brought my face back to his and kissed me again very sweetly.

"You can't open your eyes right now can you?" I asked him concerned.

"It's okay, they're just very tired. It feels better right now if I leave them closed." He told me.

"Well, you leave them closed." I said as I lifted his shirt over his head. "I'll be your eyes, and you can just use your hands to help you see whatever you need to."

"What exactly do you mean?" He asked tipping his head to the side. I just love when he does that. I pulled the sunglasses from his face and placed them on the bedside table. He kept his eyes closed as promised. I then tugged his shorts down while he lifted up and sat back on the edge of the bed in his boxers.

"Let me show you." I said taking his hands and placing them on my hips. "Tell me what I'm wearing."

I moved his hands down the sides of my legs so he would get the idea. Then I guided them around to my backside letting him continue on his own. He very slowly let his hands circle my bottom before continuing up my back. As his fingers touched my warm skin, I watched a smile light up his face.

"What color?" He asked me while continuing to feel his way up my back and onto the silky material once again.

"Pink." I whispered as his hands slid down my sides, and across my hips, then down to my knees.

I reached down and grabbed his wrists. I helped to move his hands up the front of my legs while he let his fingers graze the insides of my thighs. He stopped at the front of my panties sliding one hand between my legs and the other behind the small of my back pulling me into him. Very slowly his hand slipped through my legs, across the slippery warm satin covering my core, and up until it reached my stomach. Continuing to move his hand upward, he slid it under my shirt and up the center of my chest. I let my head fall back enjoying the feeling of his fingers tracing my swells then, grazing my very perky nipples. I even whimpered when his hand slipped out from under my top.

He brought both hands up to my face and pulled me to him. He whispered in my ear, "I can tell that you look very beautiful tonight, just as you always do. You feel beautiful. I wish I could actually see you. I want to see your face and know I'm making you happy."

"Shhh, I'll make sure you can tell how I'm feeling. You won't need to see my face to know you're making me happy." I smiled as my tongue grazed his lips.

He opened his mouth quickly as he hungrily kissed me and explored my mouth with his tongue. I climbed up into his lap as he moved back a bit more on the bed. My legs wrapped around his waist tightly pressing my warmth against his.

I wanted to try and experience this the same way he was, so I kept my eyes closed making myself aware of all I was feeling both physically and emotionally. The intensity of our kiss gave way to the need of oxygen. Feeling his way down my sides, Jasper found the bottom of my shirt and pulled it up and over my head. He let his hands roam down my arms, up my back, over my shoulders and down my chest taking both breasts into his hands. His lips found my cheek and he trailed kisses to my ear then teasingly down to my shoulder and returning. I arched my back and tipped my chin up to the ceiling to give him full access to my neck.

"Oh Jazz…" I moaned as his tongue left a wet trail across my neck and down the center of my chest. He moved his hands behind the small of my back as I leaned back further letting his tongue wet my nipples and continue down to my stomach circling my belly button. This tickled and I giggled wiggling my hips against him. Oh, I definitely feel him now.

"Mmm… Alice. I know you are enjoying this as much as my hands and lips are but I don't know if I can take it. Even with my eyes closed, I am getting quite a visual." He groaned.

"Maybe you should try feeling this from a different prospective." I said in a sultry voice grinning from ear to ear. "Let me help you."

I helped him slide back fully on the bed. He lay on his back as I straddled his waist, still keeping my eyes closed. I placed my hands on his bare stomach and moved them up to his chest. My thumbs brushed over his nipples and I felt him trembled beneath me then place his hands on my hips. I rocked my hips from side to side and he helped to guide me. This was driving me crazy as he pulled me tightly against his hardness grinding me into it. I started to move my hips forward and back. I just couldn't resist.

"Alice…uhhh…those silky underwear…are so thin. I can feel…I can feel your warmth against me…mmm." He was breathing heavily as he struggled to speak.

"This feels so good Jazz." I panted as he kept guiding my hips up and back along his harness.

I bent down letting my lips crash into his. I was no longer able to control my desire. My tongue wrestled his, fighting for control as my fingers stroked wildly through his hair. I pressed my bare chest down against his feeling the heat of our bodies. His hands slid down my back until they moved over my backside. When he felt the bottom of my panties, his fingers slipped underneath letting his hands cup my cheeks. Together we continued moving against each other. My satin underwear caused friction against his boxers.

Our lips found a slower sensual pace as our bodies slipped against each other moving in a pulsing rhythm fueled by satin, sweat, and passion.

"Alice…this feels so good." He moaned against my lips increasing the pace of his hips.

"Ohmygod…Jazz…yes!" I shrieked.

I could feel my panties getting wetter as I slid up and down against his length. It wasn't much longer before we both found our release as we muffled our moans with deep kisses.

Our senses hit overload at the same time. We probably could have taken it all the way but I know that was something would want to be able to do when we could actually look into each others eyes when it happens.

"Wow Alice, that was amazing." Jasper sighed. He hugged me closely to him.

"Yes, it was." I said.

After a few minutes, I help him up so we could both get cleaned up and changed. I was glad we had a bathroom in our bedroom. We both put on new pajamas and climbed back into bed.

"Jazz, did you here someone yell? I wasn't paying attention since I was too busy, but it sounded like Emmett." I asked.

"Yeah, I think I heard him yell at Bella or something. I wasn't paying to much attention to anything but you." He smiled.

I snuggled against him and we both fell quickly asleep.

BPOV

One thing about sleeping in a room with a skylight, you can always tell when the sun is rising. I sensed the room beginning to brighten and felt someone slowly stroking my hair. When I opened my eyes I noticed Edward propped up on his elbow staring at me.

"Good Morning." I smiled at him as I reached my hand up to brush my fingers across his lips. He kissed my hand and then held it to his chest.

"Good Morning my love." He smiled back at me. "So, are you going to explain your comment last night? From the sound of Emmett's scream, I think you may have paid him back?" He raised his eyebrow at me.

I started to giggle as I explained the idea that came to me yesterday afternoon. I told Edward how I didn't have a chance to let him in on it and then with all the fun we were having, I had totally forgotten until Emmett's shout out last night.

"So, he had it coming and I made sure I paid him back." I grinned. "I wasn't sure when the electricity would be back on. Carlisle said it would be sometime last night and I hoped it would happen at the perfect moment."

"You are amazing! So…did you save any of them? You didn't put them all on his fan?" Edward looked at me a bit curiously.

"Why not? We won't need any of those anyways." I kissed his cheek and hopped up off the bed. "We better get ready so we can get some breakfast. I'm sure we'll be busy at the shop today. Then the rest of the week, the girls get to work on the boat again."

"Um, Bella?" He looked at me sadly. "Um, I didn't put any of those aside in case…" He was biting his bottom lip not sure how to continue.

"Edward…you look so cute," I said as I walked up and put my arms around his neck.

"You thought we were going to use those didn't you?"

"I don't understand?" He stared in my eyes trying to read me. "You're not interested in…you don't want to…be with me in that way? I guess I was crazy to think you…" I cut him off before he could beat himself up.

"Don't even say that!" I frowned at him. "I so very much want to be with you Edward! You mean so much to me and I guess I should have explained earlier. We don't need any of Emmett's little foil wrapped presents. My brother has no idea I've been on the pill since I was 15 years old. It wasn't any of his business and I suppose it still isn't. My mom took me to the doctor because I was having so many problems with cramping and headaches so we all agreed that the pill would help. It was the only reason I needed to be on it…until now. I guess it works out kind of nicely. No worries." I smiled shyly up at him.

"No worries." He replied as he let himself relax.

"When the time is right, it will be perfect." I saw a sparkle in his eyes and I would bet he could see one in my eyes too.

Edward brought his mouth down to meet mine and pulled me tightly into him. I gladly responded by running my fingers through his hair. I began losing myself to the passion of our kiss and as much as I was enjoying it, I knew we didn't have time for this now. Hesitantly pulling my lips away and rested my forehead on his.

"We really need to get ready." I told him.

"You are right." He said poking out his lip. I couldn't resist kissing him again just as passionately.

"Okay, okay, really Edward. We won't have time for breakfast." I was breathing heavy but my arms were still around him. He brought his lips to mine once more as my heart continued to pound out of control.

"Bella…I don't want to let you go." He whispered in my ear as his kisses trailed along my jaw and to my neck.

"Oh…" My knees became weak and I fell into him. "I'm either getting weak from your kisses or from lack of food."

We both giggled together and then decided it would be best to pry ourselves apart until we returned from work later. Edward gave me a nice tight hug and a sweet kiss before I went down to my bedroom to get a shower. We met up in the kitchen just in time for the entertainment of the morning.

"Emmett, sit down please." Rose shook her head. I watched him pacing back and forth in front of the table.

"I can't help it Rose. I couldn't burn off my extra energy last night, so what do you expect." He said while continuing to pace.

"You're getting on my nerves pacing back and forth like a caged gorilla. Jasper can't you calm him down? Throw him a banana or something?" Alice groaned.

"I can't fix his problem Alice." Jasper laughed and shook his head as he finished his cereal.

"You have no one to blame but yourself honey. See what happens when Karma comes to collect? It bites you in the butt." Rose giggled.

"Don't mention my butt. You're not helping the situation babe." Emmett grumbled.

"Are you having a hard time about something Emm?" I tried to fight back the giggles as I asked.

"You're not very funny Bells! Where the hell did you get your timing? It sucks! And it looked like you used the whole damn box!" Emmett sighed in frustration. "Wait! Did you save any?"

"I guess you were so busy minding MY business that you forgot your Boy Scout's motto big brother. Now it looks like you're going to have to learn a little self control." I smirked at him and ignored answering his last question.

Everyone burst out laughing and even Emmett grinned. Rose gave him a big hug and whispered something in his ear that seemed to cheer him up. I noticed Alice and Jasper being extra adoring to each other.

"Jasper, how are your eyes today? I see you're still favoring your Ray-Bans." Edward asked. Jasper never removed his gaze from Alice as he answered.

"They feel a whole lot better, thanks. Bright light still bothers them though. Carlisle said I could just help out in the shop today and Alice is going to take my place on the boat." He said as Alice pulled him up from the table and hugged him fiercely.

"I would do anything for my Jazz." Alice purred.

"Oh, somebody please say it's time to go before these two start getting all lovey-dovey in front of us. I think I am going to lose my mind." Emmett groaned.

"Yeah, Emm. Please don't lose what little bit of a mind that you actually have." I teased.

"It's time to go," Edward replied with a laugh. "I just heard Jack beep the horn."

Everyone quickly cleaned up from breakfast and we climbed in the van for another day of work. Jasper was a big help at the shop today. Esme had a small shipment that came in and he was able to help unload all the heavy boxes as me and Rose put things away. The day went by quickly. Carlisle and Esme were back at the house with us and in the evenings we played board games and hung out together. The next three workdays also went by quickly.

Xoxoxoxo

The girls and I worked two days out on the tour boat helping Carlisle. It was fun being out on the water. Each tour group was pleasant and had been out on the tour before. That saved us from having to give out so much instruction. We just gave them the basic safety information and swam along with them in case of emergency. The water was getting a bit choppy on our way back in the afternoon of the second day.

"I think we may be done until after the storm ladies." Carlisle told us. "Tropical Storm Felix is getting closer and changing the mood of the waters. They're still expecting it to become a hurricane before it hits land. We will have to shut down until everything is back to normal around here."

Xoxoxoxo

The next day we were at the shop. Jasper was back to normal and the guys helped Carlisle and Jack get the boat ready for the storm. I was getting a bit nervous.

"Shouldn't we evacuate or something?" I asked.

"Some people do Bella," Esme explained. "But a lot of us just stick it out when we know it won't be too bad. The authorities are usually very good about letting everyone know when a mandatory evacuation is necessary."

"I'm glad to hear that." Rose said. Even she and Alice looked nervous.

"Should we be boarding up windows or something?" I asked.

"That is exactly what we will be doing tomorrow. By the evening we should start to feel much more wind as the storm approaches. Today will be our last relaxing day before things get tense." Said Esme. "It should be a very interesting experience for all of you. When Jasper and Emmett were here last summer, we didn't have a Tropical Storm or Hurricane threatening us."

"Don't you get scared Esme?" Alice asked.

"I think Mother Nature is very powerful. It is amazing to see her at work. You just have to be sure to stay safe and take care of those around you. We do leave if there is reason to believe it could get dangerous. We have been lucky to have very little or no damage to our property. And obviously Carlisle and I are just fine." She told us.

"We had talked about going out dancing tonight but since all the businesses have begun boarding up, we will probably relax in the hot tub instead." Said Rose.

"Good idea." Said Esme. "I made lasagna earlier so it will be ready to bake when we get home. Then everyone can relax."

We were all anxious to get back to the house to see the guys. We had dinner ready when they got home. Once they were cleaned up we sat down together in the dining room and listened to Carlisle give us the updated weather report.

"Tomorrow evening, as predicted, you will all get to experience your very first big storm. The first rain bans from Hurricane Felix are expected to come ashore. This storm is going to be a high category 1. We will be getting winds up to 90 some miles per hour before it moves all the way through. Be sure you get a lot of sleep tonight because we won't be sleeping much tomorrow. We have a lot of work to do in the morning gang." Carlisle informed us.

After helping to clean up from dinner, we all quietly changed into our swimsuits and met out back at the hot tub.

Edward wrapped his arms around me as I sat close against him. Everyone else seemed to be doing the same. We talked about what it might be like during a hurricane, but as much as we guessed, we would find out for real soon enough. As we dried off and left the poolside to get some sleep, we all gave each other a hug before entering the house.

I saw Esme curled up against Carlisle on the couch. They were talking quietly as Edward and I tiptoed up the stairs so as not to disturb them. We changed into pajamas and snuggled tightly in bed after we spent a good 20 minutes just kissing each other. Neither one of us said a word. We just drifted off to sleep.

A/N:

Looks like those storm clouds are rolling in! Should make for some interesting reading over the next couple chapters. I will be pulling a lot of the Hurricane story from my own experiences back when Bertha hit good ole NC! A shout out to my NC readers! Since it is really, really late (or maybe I should say early). Let me get this posted for you.

Let me know what you think :)
