Jasper's POV
I just got back from a hunt to find Bella lying down on the bed, thrashing around, dreaming. I am torn between wanting to calm her so she can sleep peacefully and letting her work out her feelings through her dream.
"Jasper? Where are we?" I heard Bella call out. I could tell by her emotions that she was very panicked.
"You'd better hurry Bella," I whispered to her hoping that it would help her make some decisions, "You'd better figure out the puzzle."
Her emotions were raging from puzzlement, hurt, anger, sadness and love.
I sat next to her as she mumbled different names, Esme, Carlisle, and Edward, Mom, Dad, and my name.
What surprised me the most was when wave after wave of lust that radiated from Bella. I figured that she was dreaming about Edward until I heard her gasp "Jasper."
I didn't know what to do, why was she having sexual dreams about me? Did I want her to have dreams about me? Did I feel the same way? I did the only thing I could think to do…..I ran out the door leaving Bella behind and I kept running until I was completely alone. I sank to my knees and screamed. I needed to make some decisions and my precious Bella just made it so much more difficult.
Bella's POV
I sat up in bed. Oh, Shit! What the hell was that dream about? I was so shocked by my raging hormones that I rolled off the bed and smacked onto the floor. I let out a startled yelp and then I looked around. Nobody was in here but me. Where had Jasper gone? Hopefully he hadn't heard any part of my dream. He always seemed to be gone whenever I woke up…did he plan it like that? I sat up on the floor and rubbed my back a little, it stung from the landing even though I landed right on my face. I felt something wet against my lips so I licked them. Holy… I gagged and stood up and ran into the bathroom. I splashed cold water on my face and watched as the clear water mingled with blood; I gripped the counter to steady myself. I think I going to be sick!
"Oh Bella," I sighed, closing my eyes tightly as the room when black and I passed out.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Later that Day
I woke on the bathroom floor with dried blood on my face. I closed my eyes in an effort to fight the dizziness that I knew would happen as soon I stood up. I grabbed the sink and took a few deep breaths. I slowly opened my eyes. I looked horrible. I had toilet paper stuck in my nose. Thankfully, I did that before I passed out or there would be blood everywhere and not just on my face. I took out the toilet paper out and flushed it. I also took some more toilet paper and cleaned my face off. I looked around the floor and sink and cleaned any trace of blood I saw. I threw everything in the toilet and flushed so that there would be no traces. I knew if I threw it away, I might walk into the bathroom later to find Jasper with it in his mouth for all I knew or it could cause him to attack me. I shook my head at the thought, as disgusting as it seemed it was probably true. I washed my face off with cold water, paying extra special attention to the areas with blood traces on them before leaving the bathroom.
I was shocked to find Jasper sitting in the middle of the bed reading The Host again; he looked pretty far into it. Closing the book while keeping his middle finger inside to mark his page, he looked up at me. If you need something else to do with your finger, I have some ideas... I mentally slapped myself as soon as I thought that. What the hell? Where is this coming from? You have one dream about the guy and suddenly you're looking for chances to jump him? I mean even though I have been cursing like a sailor lately, I don't even like discussing the lower parts of a male and female's body!
Jasper looked at me, giving me a weird look. "What's with you? I can't figure out what is up with your emotions." He asked.
"It's nothing." I lied reaching for my box of clothes. As I started digging for something to wear, Jasper asked how I was feeling, apparently, he had come back when I was in the bathroom but when he smelt blood, and he decided to come back later, after he made sure I was still alive.
I blushed and answered "Oh yeah. I fine. You know me, I'm just a big klutz," I looked up and noticed Jasper looking at me then he gave me a wicked smile and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. God that looks so sexy…get it together Bella! I decided that maybe picking out my clothes would be better completed away from that sexy vampire. I picked up the box; it wasn't that heavy surprisingly and carried it into the bathroom with me. I took careful steps so I didn't wind up killing myself. You're not that clumsy! Okay well maybe you're close… I shut the bathroom door, inclosing my self away from Jasper but not all the naughty thoughts in which he played the lead role. I picked up a casual sleeveless knit tunic featuring a bubble hem and a simple color block design. Thank you America's Next Top Model…..I can't wait to see Alice again to show off my new skills. She is going to be soooooooo shocked that I had become a girly girl. I decided against it and placed it very gently back in the box for later. I picked up a sleeveless, scoop neck trapeze knit top featuring a cute bubble hem and beaded rosette trim at the shoulder straps and fell in love with it. It had a spandex quality and a little polyester. I put it off to the side in the 'what I am going to wear today' pile. Then I started looking for jeans to go with my cute top. I picked out a cute pair of blue jeans with straight legs and had a zip-closing fly. I was about to be done when I remembered a very crucial thing, underwear. I peaked into the box then became a little bolder and reached in. First, I pulled out a see through slip with garters and a matching thong and almost threw it back in the box, next I pulled out lacy pink and black slip with garters, it was worse then the first one, it also showed off a little more skin then I had the confidence to do. When I pulled it out, I knew I wasn't going to find anything I was more conferrable with a decided on it, it was purple and lacy crochet baby doll with matching v-string panties. There was a sleep shirt but I knew I couldn't get away with wearing that with jeans on so it was or going commando and I wasn't sure I was ready for that step. I slipped out of my pajamas and pulled on the baby doll, the material felt glorious against my skin but I would never tell anybody that! I threw on the rest of my clothes without care and looked at myself in the mirror. Alice would be proud that I did this on my own…well Tyra Banks did help. I laughed a little to myself before opening the door and picking up the box. I pressed my back against the door as I came out to keep it open. I set the box back down in its spot next to the bed and closed it as tightly as I could.
I looked at Jasper who had continued to read his book while I was changing. He looked up at me and smirked. I gave him a small half smile back, some of my confidence gone seeing his beauty that he didn't even try for. It seemed like a shame that I was in this room when he was in here! I mean look at him he's smart, beautiful, sexy… God Bella! Snap out of it woman! What is with all this sexy stuff? I mean honestly, he could become my brother-in-law someday! I rolled my eyes at myself and sat down on the bed. Jasper moved a little when I sat down but it wouldn't have been noticeable if I wasn't staring at him and all his god-like sexiness…Okay honestly it has to stop! We are both in relationships! We're not in love or anything. We are almost siblings. Oh but how would I love to be under him…Bella! Where was this new me coming from? I hadn't heard Jasper utter a single cuss word, at least I can't remember he might have but… that's not my point…my point is I have to stop thinking these thoughts about Jasper. Jasper and Alice are such private people. The most I have seen them do is hold hands and the occasional kiss on the forehead. My impure thoughts would probably drive him away screaming.
I leaned back, my back meeting the bed again and groaned in frustration. Jasper looked over at me and raised an eyebrow. I just shrugged as my answer to show I didn't want to talk about it. Talking about it would bring up the dream… oh god the dream! Where had my unconscious mind come up with that kind of shit? Excuse the language but in this situation, it was completely necessary to prove my point. I thought over the dream in detail, I almost moaned when I got to the parts with Jasper touching me. But why hadn't Edward or Charlie done anything? I called to them and they just smiled as if they were telling me something I just didn't know what. What were they trying to say? No, what was my subconscious trying to tell me? Was there something that I did to make Edward and Charlie proud of me? Or something they would support me in? What is it? What could the dream have meant?
"Are you honestly okay?" Jasper asked resting and hand over my forehead.
"Yeah…just fine," I muttered closing my eyes and almost moaning at his cool hand. What? Maybe it wasn't his hand that was causing me to have these thoughts; maybe he was just a replacement for my Edward. My subconscious is just using him to prove what I really need! I need Edward to be what Jasper is to me in my dreams. Is that what my dream was trying to tell me?
Or maybe there was something was wrong with me. Why was I lusting after Jasper like this? Why did I want him? Edward was the fairy-tale everyone wanted and I had him! So why was I all lusty after his brother? They were related! Well not by blood but that doesn't make it any better!
I knew what I had to do, I just had to push these feelings into the deepest darkest safest pit of my psyche and hope they never and I mean never re-emerge. But I kind of didn't want to though, these feelings were all so new to me and I like having the new territory to explore. But considering I was treading treacherous waters here, I'd have to watch out for myself. I smirked slightly at the thought of actually being in a relationship with Edward's brother. I got a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach and almost wanted to find out why.
