Jasper's POV
"Oh god!" she shouted one more time before collapsing backwards into the bed, "Do you like waffles?"
As soon as I cleaned up after my blowing experience, I realized that this little hotel room was not big enough for the two of us anymore. We needed to find somewhere bigger for us. Even though I still wasn't positive why I felt the desire to keep Bella from Edward, I knew without a doubt that my 'mission' was not complete yet. As I was pondering my self-imposed mission, I felt my phone vibrate.
I didn't need to look at the caller id because I knew who was calling. I stepped outside to answer the call, "Hello Alice."
"Jasper, come home. I will forgive everything you have done."
"Ali, what do you mean? I haven't done anything wrong," (Lying to someone who sees the future is defiantly not wise, I know) I replied.
"Stop it. You kidnapped your own sister. You have had lustful thoughts and to top it all off I know what you are planning on doing. You are going to throw away our whole life together for a human who doesn't even love you. Come back home baby…I miss you," Alice pleaded with me.
"I have to do this Alice. You know that Edward doesn't deserve her or really love her. She needs to be free of him. Please Alice, let me save her. I love her as my sister and don't want to see her hurt."
"Jasper I wish it was that simple. I can't promise I will be here when you decide to complete your little mission," she said with a sad voice that I've never heard from her. Before I could respond she hung up.
I stood there contemplating my next move when I felt Bella's emotions start to swirl. I knew what I had to do.
I walked inside and said "Bella, we need to leave. Pack your clothes and meet me in the car."
Bella's POV
We were in the car going somewhere. Jasper wouldn't tell me, he said I didn't need to know. I kept sneaking glances over at him but since I didn't want to get caught, I immediately looked away. Damn super fast vampire! Even though I looked away quickly He caught me every time. Either that or he had been looking at me.
Even after all our time together, I still don't understand Jasper. He was a tricky puzzle; each piece had a spot but each spot on the puzzle different then the piece you were trying to match it up with. Jasper wasn't the 'open book' type. He was more quite and non-interfering then anything. He was… I would almost call it shy …but not shy. Back in the meadow when the Cullens were playing baseball the fateful night when we first met James and his coven, Jasper seemed in his element. He was joking with everyone, he even flirted with Victoria, and was just like the rest of them, he didn't seem shy at all. And when we were in Phoenix, he opened up to me and made me feel better. Then my birthday party came, maybe he blamed himself for Edward leaving. Maybe he thought Edward left because he attacked me. Frankly, I didn't even know why Edward left… at least not exactly. I hadn't ever bothered to ask, I was just so dang happy he was back.
These past days since Jasper kidnapped me have been confusing. Jasper goes from being the vampire in the meadow, laughing , joking and even flirting….then a few minutes later he is the man who comes out when the rest of the Cullens around withdrawn, quiet and shy. I wish I could find out the real Jasper.
Now that I finished with my mental exploration of Jasper, I was bored out of my gourd. What is there to do in a car traveling too fast? Did Jasper even take into consideration that fact that I get bored really, really, really, easily? Well I guess not all the time it just seems to be happening a lot more lately. What to do what to do… there has to be something to do… I could play a game… not that kind of game! Well that kind of game would be nice… Bella stop that just think of different things… that game involves different things… stop it! I really need to find peace of mind! There should be a song about that! Hmm… some music would be nice.
"Jasper, I am bored. Do you mind if I turn on the radio?"
Jasper smiled at me with a breathtaking smile and said "Of course Darlin'"
I reached forward and turned the radio on just in time to catch the next song on one of the only stations I could get in this area. I wasn't about to start complaining that though, so I sat back and listened.
I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
I've got so much honey
The bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter songThan the birds in the trees.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Ooooh, Hoooo.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
I don't need no money,
Fortune or fame.
I've got all the riches, baby,
One man can claim.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Talkin' bout my girl.
I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl.
I've even got the month of May with my girl
I was blushing furiously at the song. I don't even know why. It was a sweet innocent song. A man singing about his girl. But for some reason, I could picture Jasper singing this song to me while he was worshipping me. Wait, no, I mean I can picture Edward, my boyfriend. Come on! Was someone out there trying to get me to do something I really wanted to! I mean something I didn't want to and that if I did I would, most likely, regret! I mean Jasper was… was… there isn't anything wrong with him that I know of and he really is a good person but… I mean… Okay so I liked Jasper but Edward and I are meant to be together forever. Right? Don't doubt yourself Bells you're right! You and Edward are a logical pair while you and Jasper would be fun… live changing… risky… hot… what was I thinking?
"Are you alright?" Jasper asked me looking over to me and thankfully breaking me from my mind ramblings. I could have sworn he had been wearing a small half smile when he looked at me but it was gone – if it had even been there – now.
"What? Oh…yeah um… I was just… thinking." I managed to get out. The next song came on and I was glad for the change, something to distract me from all these feelings and emotions towards Jasper. Or at least that's what I thought; I was happy, don't get me wrong, until I heard the lyrics.
Under a lovers' sky
gonna be with you
and no one's gonna be around
if you think that you won't fall
well just wait until
til the sun goes down
underneath the starlight - starlight
there's a magical feeling - so right
it'll steal your heart tonight
you can try to resist
try to hide from my kiss
but you know
but you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
you'll surrender your heart
but you know
but you know that you can't fight the moonlight
no, you can't fight it
it's gonna get to your heart
there's no escape from love
was a gentle breeze
weaves it's spell upon your heart
no matter what you think
it won't be too long
til your in my arms
underneath the starlight - starlight
we'll be lost in the rhythm - so right
feel it steal your heart tonight
you can try to resist
try to hide from my kiss
but you know
but you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
you'll surrender your heart
but you know
but you know that you can't fight the moonlight
no you can't fight it
no matter what you do
the night is gonna get to you
don't try then
you're never win
part of me the starlight - starlight
there's a magic feeling - so right
it will steal your heart tonight
you can try to resist
try to hide from my kiss
but you know
but you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
you'll surrender your heart
but you know
but you know that you can't fight the moonlight
no, you can't fight it
you can try to resist
try to hide from my kiss
but you know
don't you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
you'll surrender your heart
but you know
but you know that you can't fight the moonlight
no, you can't fight it
it's gonna get to your heart
What kind of station is this? I thought with a loud laugh (mental laugh laughing out loud at a thought right now would seem kind of on the edge of mentally hurt or something) Play songs that will turn Bella even more on towards Jasper.01? The next song was also by LeAnn Rimes who I was really starting to hate.
I don't like to be alone in the night
And I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right
And I don't like to have the rain on my shoes
But I do love you
But I do love you
I don't like to see the sky painted grey
And I don't like when, nothin's goin my way
And I don't like to be the one with the blues
But I do love you
But I do love you
I love everything about the way your lovin me
The way you lay your head upon my shoulder when you sleep
And I love to kiss you in the rain
I love everything you do, oh I do-o
And I don't like to turn the radio on
Just to find I missed my favorite song
And I don't like to be the last with the news
But I do love you
But I do love you
I love everything about the way your lovin me
The way you lay your head upon my shoulder when you sleep
And I love to kiss you in the rain
I love everything you do, oh I do
And I don't like to be alone in the night
And I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right
And I don't like to have the rain on my shoes
But I do love you
But I do love you
But I do love you
But I do love you
I was about to turn the radio off but Jasper beat me to it. Our hands touched as we reached for the knob and… it was… it was warm. Well not warm, warm but it was warmer then Edwards! It actually felt damn good and even though I knew it would be awkward, I really wanted to hold his hand. I looked up at him at the same time he looked at me. I was so shocked that he didn't pull away from me but I quickly recovered and laced my fingers through his and actually held his hand! He looked back up at the road for a brief second to stop at a light then looked back at me. I held onto his hand tightly and smiled, I can't believe it I was holding Jasper's hand and smiling. There was this weird feeling in the air and it kind of scared me. Nevertheless, it felt… good in a way. I continued to look in his eyes and didn't even notice when we started to move again.
I realized we hadn't turned the radio off cause another song started playing…and I actually liked this one. It summed up all my thoughts, fears, and feelings.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me
by your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
I sighed as I continued to stare into the eyes of the super hot vampire holding my hand. I started to drift off into dreamland as the words of the song kept replaying through my head and the sensation of my hand in his keeping me safe……maybe the peace of mind I need is with Jasper…
Peter's POV
Charlotte was chatting with this new vampire friend of hers, I can't believe we actually ran into a vampire who was perfect for both of us! Well other then Jasper. I'm sure there are others out there too but this was the first time in a long time that we had met one! Her name is Sabrina and she is beautiful. When I first saw her I thought that I was imagining things! I mean she was fine! Some might think that's just testosterone talking but I know I a gorgeous woman when I see one! And when I saw her I closed my eyes, opened them, and smacked myself in the face to make sure I wasn't imagining her. Charlotte knew I loved her and I was loyal to her and only her. So she was okay with me staring at her because she knew I was just stunned by her friend's beauty.
I was broken away from my harmless lusting when my phone rang. I looked at the caller id but all it said was unknown caller.
"Hello?" I asked.
Sabrina and Charlotte looked at each other with wonder. Honestly our phones hardly ever rang and when they did it was usually bad news.
"Peter! It's Jasper!" said a voice from the other line. When I heard whom it was, I mouthed to Charlotte that it was our friend. Charlotte smiled, she always liked Jasper first for letting us get away from Maria and then later became good friends with him when he came with us. I was happy, really happy! I mean I was literally just thinking about him… god how I missed him!
"Jasper! How good to hear from you! I've missed you all these years! Where have you been? Are you going to visit?" I asked, it all came out in a rush but thankfully with vampire hearing everybody understood.
"Um… I don't know… where are you?" he said back a little hesitant. You've got to be kidding me! After all this time you don't even wanna see us.
"We're in Vegas why?" I asked, maybe he was going to come and see us!
"That's perfect.. I'll be there soon. I'm kind of in a situation and I expect your full cooperation with this," Jasper exclaimed.
"Okay, okay but um Jasper… there's something I have to tell you," I said. I hope he still wants to see us after this.
"What is it?"
"I'm… well Charlotte, a friend of ours named Sabrina and I… we're… we're… we're kind of… we're sort of… well I guess you could call us…"
"What? What? Spit it out man!"
"We're kind of sort of… showgirls." Goodbye sweet friendship and male pride… Hello getting my ass kicked and goodbye male pride. This is worse then getting my ass handed to me on a goddamn solid gold platter!
