I do not own Twilight Saga.

There are few things I need to clarify. Chelsea and Edward happened 3 years back so the bold Italic part at the beginning is actually flashbacks so don't confuse them with the present. And yes Flashbacks are only in Bold Italic, thoughts are going to be only Bold from now on.

Chapter 12

He knew he shouldn't be looking but each time his eyes wondered to the fireplace he couldn't help but look. His gaze dropped from her eyes then lingered on her lips, slowly traveling down to her white blouse, to the swell of her breasts and the curve of her hips. He fidgeted uncomfortably in the couch. She had no idea that she was putting up a show, or did she? Her hands gently massaged the white towel over the brown wet tangles and little droplets of water trickled down her nose and moistened her lips. She leant forward and the dark cloud of russet caressed her cheeks. The white blouse clung to her skin like a magnet. Beneath the plain cotton, he could see her black bra. It was the only fabric that was protecting her from his inspection. His eyes followed the line of her spinal cord to the black clasp of her bra. He wondered how tight the fabric felt on her skin.

FUCK!This is wrong. Edward looked away quickly and then all but ran away from the room. He sat down on the kitchen counter and dragged his fingers through his hair. What the hell was he thinking? How could he have such thoughts about her after the incident with Paul? Chelsea was a sobbing mess, it was obvious that she was pretty shaken by him. Edward was plainly frustrated since he had no idea how to handle the issue. If someone ever messed with his friends, he would not think twice before finding the guy and hitting him square in the face but this girl, she wanted none of it. She just wanted him to hold her. And that's what he did. He let her cry on his shoulder and then rocked her to and fro in the backseat of his car. The thunderstorm eventually passed by and so did her tears. The exhaustion slowly crept and she fell into a deep slumber. He could have driven her home if he knew her house, but since that was not the option anymore so he drove her to his house instead. He was a bit paranoid since he had never brought any girls in his house but when he saw the sly smile in Chelsea's face upon arrival, he shrugged the thought off. That is how she ended up in his living room toweling herself dry and him with his perverted thoughts.

How could he be any better than this Paul Jeffery?

He pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration and at the same second felt a presence nearby. His eyes fluttered open.

"Are you all right?" she asked with wide blue eyes.

He didn't answer. He couldn't answer.

She was barefoot in his kitchen with only just a towel wrapped around her body. And it wasn't just a towel, it was his towel. She took a few more steps toward him.

"Edward?" she whispered as came to stand between his legs. She wrapped her fingers around his, tugging sharply. The action brought him to his feet; her knuckles brushed across his jaw and then ran through his tousled messy hair. " So soft" she mumbled as she bit on her bottom lip. He released a long breathe and then averted his eyes from her.

"You can sleep here if you want to." His eyes flickered to the couch "You can take the bed…I will sleep on the couch"

She rested one hand on his chest and replied timidly "or we can share the bed"

She stared at him with wide innocent eyes as she traced the line of his jaw and then ran her hands up and down his chest.

"Chelsea"

Her fingers fiddled with the buttons on his shirt, opening them quickly and leaning to place an open mouth kiss on his collarbone.

He swore under his breath. "Chelsea please..."

"Is this difficult for you Edward?" She stood on her tiptoe, her breasts pressed against his chest. Her hips cradled his growing arousal as she cupped his jaw with her hands, urging him to meet her gaze. He grabbed her hands in both of his and brought them down. He sucked in a deep breath, and then glared at her.

"Stop it" he insisted. "You are distraught and want to be physically close because of what happened"

She snatched her hands away from him and gave him a full glare "Damn you Edward Masen! I know what I am feeling and I also happen to know how you are feeling so just stop denying it already"

"What do you want me to do?" Edward gave a long sigh "What do you want?"

"Kiss Me" she challenged.

"Chelsea…you...you don't want this" he exasperated. The devil in his mind was cursing at him for rejecting the offer but the saint knew better. Edward was attracted to Chelsea in a way a man was attracted to a beautiful woman. That was only the length of it. It was purely physical. He knew nothing about her apart from her music and he wasn't going to take advantage of the situation knowing full well that she was going to regret this first thing in the morning.

Her eyes twinkled as the words fell from her lips. "Give it to me. I know you want to"

Her thumb caressed his bottom lip as she urged him. "I want you Edward."

She cupped the back of his neck and then pulled him down until their noses were almost touching. He let out a sharp breathe before she brushed her lips on his once and then twice and then murmured against his lips.

"Only you."

The old women looked at the man standing at her door. He was tall, dressed sharply in a grey slacks and a black button-down. She adjusted the glasses on her nose and looked up at his face. She had thought it was some boy from the reservation, but clearly it was not. None of the boys at the reservation were ever seen on proper clothes rather than sweatshirts and ragged jeans.

"Forgot your way home boy?"

"I am looking for Paul Jeffery ma'am" Edward answered calmly.

The old women narrowed her eyes at him then tilted her head slightly scrutinizing him for a moment. She turned away from him and Edward thought for a second she was about to close the door on his face but instead she walked inside her house keeping the door ajar. Edward racked his fingers through his hair, and stood awkwardly on the porch.

"Come inside" he heard the women call.

He walked inside the door and then quietly followed the women into the living room. She waved him to a couch and then walked away. He plopped into the couch with his arms crossed on his lap.

When he had planned on searching for Paul Jeffery, he hadn't thought that he would have a family. Hell he hadn't thought Paul would be even in Forks. The last time he had checked on him he had heard that he was out of WA. That was the only reason why Paul was still alive. But now, he was here and Edward was finally going to get his answers.

After few minutes, footsteps carried into the room and Edward immediately looked up.

"Yo dude…how can I help?"

Edward looked at the goofy grin on his face and anger seeped through his veins. His fist clenched and unclenched as he took deep breathes to control himself. He remembered the scared look on Chelsea's face the night she had almost collided against his car and then his mind flew back to the picture of Paul and Bella. She looked so happy with her arms around his neck. Again images crawled inside his head...but this time he did not see Chelsea, he saw Bella with the scared look on her face falling apart in front of him.

"Why are you after her?" he replied in a slow menacing tone.

"Hey dude what's wrong?" Paul lightly nudged his arm but it was a wrong move on his part since it angered Edward more. He jerked his hand and forcefully grabbed on his shoulder.

"Why are you after Bella?"

Paul looked at him confused and then opened his mouth to talk but he was cut off by him.

"Did you want to molest her...like you did to her? huh?"Edward pushed him roughly.

"Hey…hey…what the hell are you talking about?" Paul asked him incredulously.

"You know very well what I am talking about…you bastard I am going to kill you today" He bared his teeth and growled at him. And then he pushed his fisted palm right into Paul's face. Paul didn't get much time to react and the blow went straight to his nose knocking his breathe out. He fell on the ground with agonizing pain as blood dribbled down his face. Paul punched him back, but the blow wasn't simply enough to get him down. Edward was already crouched on top of him, blowing his daylights out.

"You put your filthy hands on Chelsea…you want to hurt my Bella" He growled at Paul as his fist collided with his face and arms.

"That tramp sent you here" The old women screamed as she appeared in the room. She looked at her beat up son on the floor with horrified expression and then started to throw things at Edward.

"Get away from my son…you lousy ass" she shouted as she pulled at Edward's collar. He finally let go off Paul, and then backed away. He pointed his fingers at him and glared "I am going to kill you if you even dare go near Bella"

"Didn't I tell you Paul...that Bella is a demon? She is only here to wreck our house…told you...stay away from her..." the women ranted as she held her son who was groaning in pain.

Edward dragged his fingers in his hair and swore "Fuck fuck...fuck...fuck" He was loosing control, he took deep breathes, pulling at his hair roughly.

"I ...I fired her" Paul started. "She was a...a...mmmad...women. She kept scaring...the people...we had to get her out...I...never touched...her" he replied between panting breathes.

"You are lying" Edward seethed. "Chelsea is not mad"

"I am not lyinggg...I never hurttt her. I never hurt Bella...she is my...sist-"

"She is no one to you Paul Jeffery...she will never be" the women scolded him as she pressed a washcloth on his wounds.

"What are you talking about?" Edward exclaimed but the women held one finger at him and yelled "Get the hell out of my house before I call the police"

Edward looked at Paul and he was staring back at him with a pleading look on his face.

"She will never lie to me" Edward said more to him than Paul. "Never ever"

"I am not lying" Paul kept on repeating the words over and over again as Edward drove away furiously from the place.

"Jessica Stanley"

"Here"

"James Wilson"

"Here"

"Seth Clearwater"

"Right here"

"Isabella Cullen"

"Here"

"Jasper Whitlock"

. . .

"Jasper Whitlock…?"

"Here" Jasper called as he made his way through the door fashionably late. He winked at Jessica and waved at few other female interns until his eyes landed on Bella. A wide grin stretched on his face as he came to stand by her side.

"Hey Ducky" He called. Bella turned to him and glowered.

"Care to explain why you're late Mr. Whitlock?" Dr Caius gave Jasper a cold glare and in return Jasper gave him a broadened smile.

"My dog ate my breakfast" he answered and all the interns let out a hearty laugh except of Bella of course. Dr Caius looked at the senior residents with a fierce look then turned towards Jasper sharply and scowled.

"Mr. Whitlock this is no kindergarten and as a matter of fact you are not five anymore" He narrowed his eyes and shook his head "I am sorry to say but if you continue to disrupt the atmosphere in the hospital, then I would be forced to take critical measures"

"Yeah whatever" Jasper muttered under his breath.

"Now where we? Oh yes...Dr Stanley and Clearwater you are to attend ward 2"

They nodded at Dr Caius and then took off to Ward 2 together. Dr Caius continued to pair the doctors for the regular rounds.

"James and Leah"

"Eric and Lauren"

"Mike and Tyler"

"Bree and Riley"

"Whitlock and Cullen"

"Oh hell no" Bella muttered while Jasper smirked.

Dr Caius looked at them and replied "Follow me you guys"

This is going to be a very long day...Bella thought

The three of them stopped at a large rectangular ward, with rows of bed on both sides of the room, with a small stand next to each bed. There were curtains separating the bed, giving the patients their only privacy.

The first patient was an elderly man. He was sound asleep, so Bella walked to the patient's side and gently touched his shoulder. The patient opened his eyes.

"Huh?"

"Good Morning Mr. Ronald. We are just doing the routine check ups."

Jasper stood by the foot of the bed studying his chart. He looked up at the man and asked "Are you having any pain?"

"My chest hurts"

Bella examined him and then turned towards Jasper. She pointed at the chart and asked "What does his X-Ray show?"

"Everything's fine" he shrugged. Bella rolled her eyes before turning to the patient.

"He means you are healing well. I will have the nurse give you something for the pain." She smiled at the patient.

"Thank you Doctor"

Bella nodded and then they went to the next bed to meet Ms Shelly.

"Good Morning beautiful" Jasper greeted the women and she blushed in return.

"I am Dr Jasper Whitlock, you can call me Jasper though"

"Hello Jasper"

Dr Caius coughed behind him.

Jasper examined the chart and smiled "I'd say you are about ready to go home"

"Oh thank you so much doctor"

They were about to round the corner when Bella heard him whisper her "If I had my way I would keep you here forever"

Fucking womanizer.

The rest of the rounds were a blur. They saw 20 patients moving from one ward to another, examining charts and making notes on them. Bella was extremely glad that Dr Caius had decided to make rounds with them at least that kept Jasper's mouth shut. Though, sometimes he did let out one or two snide remarks.

Bella watched Jasper with the patients and realized that Jasper was actually good. Yes that was saying something. Even though he was a worse human being but he was a good doctor. If his personality was better, Bella might have approved of him.

What was she saying? Hell she wouldn't approve of him even then.

Soon the lunch hour neared and they hurried to meet the last patient in the ward.

"Good morning Mrs. Cooper" Dr Caius said warmly. Bella scanned the patients chart as Jasper proceeded "How are you feeling this afternoon?"

"I feel fine doctor" she blinked her swollen eyelids.

Jasper turned to Bella and asked "Any change in the electrolyte?"

"Nope"

"That's good" Dr Caius smiled and Bella looked at him curiously. Jasper even crooked his eyebrow at him.

"We are going to do everything we can for you Mrs. Cooper" he added.

"Thank you Doctor" Mrs. Cooper smiled timidly.

Dr Caius stepped out in the corridor, with Bella and Jasper trailing behind him.

"She has myocardiopathy, localized edema, irregular fever tremors and headaches" Bella sighed.

"I know. This is going to be very rough" Dr Caius added.

"It seems congenital" Jasper said suddenly.

"Uh..Oh. I have heard these symptoms before...it is actually caused by an insect" Bella answered.

Dr Caius looked at her puzzled.

"Trypanosoma cruzi" A velvet voice answered behind them. Bella turned to Edward, a surprised smile escaped her lips. Edward looked at Dr Caius and nodded, his eyes hardened when they settled on Jasper but then his expression softened when he looked at Bella. He smiled her favorite crooked smile and needless to say Bella just melted in a poodle of goo.

He continued to speak "Trypanosoma cruzi is an insect which causes the Chagas disease. It's actually very rare in the US, mostly seen in the Latin America"

"The patient was there for a while, no wonder she got it" Dr Caius added.

"What brings you here Dr Masen?" Jasper hissed through his teeth.

"I was just going for a lunch break" Edward replied, his eyes glued to Bella. She gave him a questioning look and he turned to Dr Caius.

"Will you mind if I take her away?" Edward asked suddenly as he wrapped his arm on the small of her back. Bella and Dr Caius looked at him wide eyed.

Is he out of his mind? Bella thought.

"Oh...No" Dr Caius replied as he looked at Bella and then to Edward suspiciously. "You guys can leave...its lunch hour anyway. Return with yours scut Bella and I hope you noted everything."

"Yes Doctor" Bella nodded.

Edward nodded at Dr Caius then pushed passed Jasper and all but pulled her away from the corridor to the exit. Edward had a wicked smile on his face as he intertwined their hands together and walked by the jaw dropping staffs and doctors.

"Jesus Edward!" Bella exclaimed as hushed whispers followed behind their back. "Everyone is staring"

"I can't believe, Dr Masen and..?"

"They are dating"

"They are holding hands"

Edward looked at her in amusement and laughed "Let them stare then"

"You are crazy" she pointed a finger on his chest for emphasis. Edward grabbed her hand and kissed her fingers "I thought you were the crazy one"

She rolled her eyes at him and then whispered in his ear "You make me crazy"

Edward laughed as they held hands and crossed the roads.

"So where we going?" Bella asked as the chilly wind blew past her face. She shivered and Edward turned to her with a frown.

"Where's your coat?"

"I would have brought it if someone wasn't so eager to get me out of the hospital."

Suddenly they turned a corner and Edward grabbed her arm and pushed her against a red brick concrete. She let out a soft gasp as he trapped her in between his arms and smiled lazily.

"I could always make you warm"

"Mmhmm" she sighed as her fingers twirled the hair at the base of his neck. He bent his head and kissed her until she was breathless. She no longer cared that they were in the street, putting on a show for the passerby. She was beyond horny, and all she wanted to do was jump on him and bite on those luscious swollen lips.

Edward had a gleam in his eyes as he removed his coat and wrapped it around her body. He extended his arms and then bowed "Now shall we ma'am?"

Bella giggled and he leaned over to paste a chaste kiss on her face.

"So your father is a surgeon?" Edward asked as he finished his sandwich.

"Yes...Daddy is actually the best one in Phoenix. He has his own practice and everything, so I grew up around hospitals"

"That sounds great...but what I don't get is why you didn't join under him. Why Forks? Don't get me wrong but this is such a small town, you could have a better career in Phoenix."

"You are not the first one who asked me this actually." Bella smiled at him and then continued "Its like...I grew there being known as the doctor's daughter...I didn't want to be that. I wanted people to know me for what I am, not because of my father. Forks just happen to be the only option for me to start my career"

She looked at Edward and frowned when she saw the awed look in his face.

"What?"

"You are so damn perfect Isabella" He replied with a dazzling smile.

"Oh don't I know it" She smirked.

Edward pulled her to him and she yelped suddenly caught off guard. The people at the restaurant turned to look at them and Bella blushed furiously. But then her eyes fell on a table at the right corner and her face went pale.

Across their table, her once best friends Rosalie and Alice were staring at them. Rosalie had a surprised look in her face and Alice was literally shooting daggers in their direction. A month ago, they would have been sitting together in that table and laughing at each other, Bella recalled.

Edward pushed a piece of hair behind her ear and kissed her cheek. "I am sorry about yesterday"

Bella frowned and then looked at him.

"It was really unnecessary of you to pull that stunt yesterday Edward. I mean if you told me that you were upset with that photo then I would have made it clear. Paul is not going to do me any harm. "

"You don't know anything" Edward shook his head. Bella cupped his cheeks and pulled his face to her.

"Look at Me" she urged.

"He helped me Edward. When I came in this town, I had no one to look upto...he was the one who searched a house for me...he got me in the hospital...he did everything.."

"Everything that a brother would ever do" She smiled sadly.

"What?"

"It's a very long story..." she said as she twirled the fork around the spaghetti. " My parents are not my parents"

She looked at the confused look in his face and sighed. "They are not my biological parents Edward. My birth mother died when she gave birth to me...and according to the records, she had no idea who got her pregnant."

"She had been with countless number of men ever since she ran away from college. She had no dreams, no aspiration and her family wanted nothing from her. Not that she had much of a family actually."

She bit her lips and said "Forks wasn't the only option for my career. There is a reason why I decided to come here" she exasperated with her hands.

"I wanted to know about my birth mother" she whispered. "That's how I came across Sue Jeffery...she is my mother's cousin and she absolutely loathes Renee. She told me everything, and I know she is repulsed by me too" She said sadly. "But Paul...he was actually very excited to know that he had a cousin he had never heard before. We became friends instantly and he was so good to me unlike his mot-"

Bella stopped as she looked at Edward's face. She was rambling like an idiot and hadn't noticed until then the shock on his face. He looked as if he was in pain.

She squeezed his hand and asked in concern "Edward what's wrong?"

He clenched his eyes shut and tugged at his hair sharply.

"Edward?"

He suddenly stood up from his seat. "I am sorry...so sorry...I have to go...I have to go" he mumbled to her as he sprang out of the doors.

Jasper sat down with a cup of coffee and stared at Alice as she roamed around his kitchen in his shirt. He let his eyes wonder on her slender legs, the curve of her hips and how she seemed to be swimming in the sleeves of his shirt. He had never observed her carefully. At first glance she would seem a tiny little girl with innocent hazel eyes.

Jasper frowned at himself. What the hell is he thinking?

She is bubbly, chirpy, graceful, fierce and one wicked bitch.

And he couldn't wait for the day that she would finally leave him the fuck alone. Yes! Jasper Whitlock is officially done with Alice fucking Brandon.

He has been making the saddest of excuses ever made on the history of Earth for disappearing at the middle of the night. He quarreled with her every other day, treated her like rubbish in hospitals, or during their so-called-dates. But she wouldn't just get off his nuts. She believed every single word that came out of his mouth. Sure it was fun during the start, but seriously how can someone be this dimwitted. She apparently believed that the sun rose out of his ass. That definitely got his dick stroked but seriously?

She was like a Chinese finger trap, the harder you struggle, the tighter her grip got.

Alice could feel his eyes on her. She peeked behind her and saw him really staring at her. She has seen him looking at her body a thousand times before, but the way he was looking now was foreign. She smiled at herself, as she twirled around the kitchen making breakfast for her lover. This felt right, this felt like home.

She intertwined her fingers above her head and spinned across the kitchen towards Jasper to give him a kiss. The action caused the shirt to ride up her thighs, to show him her naked behind. Jasper snapped out of his trance immediately. He deepened the kiss by plunging his tongue inside her mouth, biting her lower lip and sucking her tongue. Her nipples hardened with his reaction and she shamelessly rubbed herself on him. He suddenly turned her around and she whined at the loss of contact. But then he wrapped his arms around her, his right hand slid between her legs and the left made its way down her neck to her chest, quickly unbuttoning the shirt. She moaned at his urgency. Jasper was always spontaneous and honestly it turned her on. He quickly got the offending material from her skin and rubbed his hands all over her body, and then slipped between her legs to feel her wetness.

She whimpered and he groaned in return.

"I want to fuck you until you can't walk"

He was already shirtless, so he opened the fly of his jeans and quickly got his cock out. He leant forward to get rid of the jeans which made his face come in contact with her ass. He kissed her dimples and then rose slowly to kiss her spine and then bit on the side of her neck. He dragged her to the chair and positioned himself on her entrance. She moaned deeply as he easily slipped between her folds. She spread her legs as he pumped forcefully inside and out of her body. His right hand returned between her legs, massaging her clit while he fucked her.

"So Good...so so good" he moaned in her ear and she spread her legs farther and circled her hips. His eyes rolled behind his head, he could see the stars.

He grabbed one of her tits with his left hand and started playing with her nipple. He pulled at them and then twisted it between his fingers. She screamed out with pleasure...

"I need to see you...please..." she begged as her breath came out in short gasps.

He quickly turned her around and started thrusting upwards furiously.

"Oh Fuck" she screamed.

" Cum for me baby...cum for me" Jasper moaned as she bounced on top of him. And then she couldn't take it any longer. She threw her head back, arching herself as her orgasm overtook her body.

"I love you" she gasped. "I love you Jasper...so so much"

Jasper froze mid-orgasm. His eyes bulged out and face grew pale. She kissed his lips thoroughly showing him all the love that she had to offer. He couldn't respond. They were still connected by their bodies and it was as if he could feel her emotions rolling off her to him.

He felt nauseous.

This is wrong...wrong...wrong his mind shouted at him.

Okay a lot of things happened in this chapter. I had a hard time writing since the perspectives of the characters are so different from one another...so the delay. Please tell me what you think of the story so far...Is it getting cheesy or overly dramatic?

I am getting a lot of queries about the AJ break up...and yes it's nearing. I hope I was able to show the slight change in air between them. About Sue? I have mentioned her before in Chapter 9, incase you guys forgot. She was actually the reason why Bella was so desperate to do the operation. So everything is somehow interlinked.

And now I have a confession to make.

If any of you are doctors and reading my story, I am sorry if anything came out wrong. I am not in the medical field, so whatever I write is either based on research or my own creativity.

If you haven't noticed yet I am not much of a writer...hehe I believe a good writer is one who can write in a way that you can actually picture it. I don't know I feel I am more clipped and straight to the point. Anyway I will stop rambling now.

I would like to thank all the members who have added me in their alert/favorite list. You guys are so amazing!

Please leave me a review or rate this chapter at the scale of 10.

Have a good weekend,
