Chapter twelve
Friday 8th November
I took my seat next to Jasper in history as Jasmine handed me something.
"I'm having my party on 8th December," She said smiling and handed invites to the Cullen's as well.
"Cool!" I said and the looked at it and frowned, "Civil war themed?" I looked at her and she blushed.
"The dresses in the text books look amazing! And anyway! How else am i meant to get Connor into a uniform?" She smirked at me and i laughed at her.
"Fair enough!" I said and looked to Jasper who was glancing at the invite.
"You may need to help me find a dress," I said with a sheepish grin. He smiled to me and put an arm around me.
"I may have something in mind already," He said smiling and then looked to Jasmine.
"Any ideas of what you would like as a gift," He asked curiously, flashing her his dazzling smile. She froze for a moment.
"Urm...surprise me?" She squeaked, Rosalie, Emmett and I were laughing immediately as Connor sat down. Jasmine turned and handed him an invite. He looked at it and then frowned.
"Civil war themed? Why do you insist on getting me in a uniform?" He groaned.
"It's a normal fetish Connor... girls love a guy in a uniform," I said grinning. Everyone laughed and Jasper growled sexily in my ear.
"What you want for Christmas?" Jasmine said halfway through the lesson. I blinked and then shrugged.
"I don't really know but whatever you get me i need by the 11th of December," I said glancing to Jasper who nodded.
"Why?" Jasmine said.
"Unless you want to post it to me in Texas..." I said grinning at her.
"Texas? You're going to Texas for Christmas? I thought you where going to your Grandmas..." She said looking curious.
"Jasper is whisking her away on a honeymoon," Emmett said casually.
"WHAT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" Jasmine hissed excitedly.
"He's lying... we're just going for a holiday, Jasper grew up there..." I said as Jasper just chuckled, i should have seen that one coming.
"Oh! Well i'll spread the word to the others about the need for early presents for you two," Jasmine said smiling, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
"Ok..." I said and then Jasper looked to her.
"You really don't need to get me a present," He said shocked. She laughed.
"I'm getting you a present Jasper!" Jasmine said and that was that.
Chemistry was...interesting.
"So Lizzie, should i be expecting my new nephew in oh? March," Emmett said grinning. I glared at him.
"You're as bad as Edward!" I hissed to him trying to work out the enthalpy change in my equation. He just laughed.
"Aw come on Lizzie you know you want him," Emmett said grinning like a fool. It was true, when i did eventually sleep my dreams where of Jasper and me doing...things.
"Emmett... if you keep bugging me i'll tell Jasper," I said in a sing song voice. He shut up then.
"Not fair..." He whined as i finished my questions.
Biology was full of gossip.
"So Vamp..." Jasmine said smiling to me evilly.
"It's just Lizzie now," I complained to her. She sighed.
"Fine, anyway what are you and Jasper planning on doing when your on holiday... alone?" She said suggestively.
"Why does everyone think we're going to just have sex for three weeks?" I said sighing.
"Three weeks?" Jasmine said incredulously.
"Yep!" I said happily as i dissected a rat.
"So what are you planning on doing?" She questioned.
"He wants to show me where he grew up, i dunno tour around Texas seeing the sights," I shrugged.
Saturday 30th November
Jasper had picked me up in the jeep to go round to his today. I couldn't believe it was almost December, i would soon be off to Texas. I had ordered Jasper's Christmas present off the internet and had been taking a lot of pictures recently. I loved taking pictures, it had always been a hobby of mine, i had scrap books piled up under my bed from back when i was about 4.
"What's the plan for today then?" I said as i sat on Jasper's bed. He smiled to me hugged me softly.
"I thought I'd show you the dress for Jasmine's party," He said smiling.
"You got one for me already? I thought we'd go together to look," I said and shrugged, not really bothered. Jasper pulled a wooden chest out from under his bed carefully. I looked at it carefully, on the front was inscribed Jessica Whitlock.
"This was my mothers, i bought it for her just before i joined the army as a birthday present," He said opening it and pulling out the most amazing dress, it was corseted and ruffled around the sleeves and was light green and white. It was absolutely stunning, and very very old.
"Oh Jasper," I said in awe of such an amazing dress, "It's amazing but i really can not wear that," He laughed and smiled.
"It's just going to sit there forever if you don't! I insist! If you wear it i shall wear my uniform. I was just going to get a blank one but i shall go decorated if you wear it," He said holding it up with a smile. I glanced at his uniform in the glass cabinet and then at him and nodded.
"Ok," I said with a smile.
"I'll get urm...Rosalie to help you try it on," He said and then carefully laid it on the bed next to me before going out.
Rosalie came in and looked at the dress and then me and then back again. Her lips buzzed and then Esme was standing next to her.
"This is going to be fun..." Rosalie said smiling as they started to get me undressed and into the dress. It was beautiful, it really was amazing. Rosalie spun me around to look in the mirror. Although the hope thing underneath made my look weird and the corset was tight I loved it. Jasper side stepped into the room and smiled widely to me.
"You look amazing," He said and then frowned at Rosalie who whispered to him as she went out followed by Esme.
"I love it," I said smiling and then watched Rosalie leave, "Where is she going? I love it but i don't want to have to wear it until the party," Jasper just raised an eye brow and laughed pulling out a camera from his desk draw and switched it on and started taking pictures of me.
"Jasper?" I said blushing and laughing. He just grinned and then came up behind me and started to undo the corset ties. I felt the heat rising in my cheek but i found i was unable to say anything from fear of saying something stupid. He smirked as i turned to look at him.
"Ok ok..." He said laughing, "Rose?"
Rosalie came back in to take the dress off of me. Once i had my own clothes back on Jasper re-entered and carefully put the amazing dress away. I sat on the bed as i watched him slide the chest back under his bed. I grabbed his camera off the bedside table and started to inspect the pictures.
"You looked fantastic..." Jasper said sitting next to me. His chin rested on my shoulder as he looked at the pictures too. I chuckled slightly.
"Cannot wait to see you in your uniform," I said grinning. He looked at the uniform with a lop sided smile.
"I believe my friends Charlotte and Peter will visiting us for Christmas Eve through to boxing day," Jasper said smiling to me i looked to him and nodded, "However my friends are not vegetarian, i thought i should warn you..."I smiled to him and laughed softly.
"With you there I'm not too worried about being Christmas dinner," I said leaning back onto the bed. He smiled and chuckled.
"You have no reason to worry they won't hurt you," He said smiling to me happily. Seeing Jasper happy was now my purpose in life, his smile was dazzlingly amazing, intoxicating. I laughed and hugged him tight; he wrapped his arms around me and leant his forehead against mine. His eye lids drooped over his eyes as he breathed deeply.
"You really do smell amazing...soooo good," He whispered opening his eyes; they were still golden which made me very happy. His eyes stared into mine, boring into my soul and my emotions ran wild. I was happy, ecstatic, excited, curious, confused, aroused. Wait aroused? The emotions stopped and Jasper looked very sheepish, i had known that those where his emotions coursing through me, Jasper did that some times to show me what it was like for him 24/7.
I raised an eyebrow.
"What's got you aroused?" I said slowly. I felt his cold breath on my lips and i then realised we were very very close to each other. I didn't move though i simply closed the gap between us and kissed him softly. I couldn't stop myself, something just seemed to take me over and i did it. I felt him tense slightly; he lightly applied some pressure to my lips tentatively. I pulled away from him and saw he was quite shocked. It was the first time that i had kissed him. Usually he kissed me and so he was mentally prepared. That was when we did kiss which we hadn't in about two months, not since our fake relationship.
I looked down and winced.
"I'm so sorry! I don't not what came over me," I said waiting for the telling off i was going to get. He just started to laugh i looked up at him and frowned.
"You have no idea how amazingly funny you are do you," He said grinning, flashing his teeth at me. I raised an eyebrow.
"Aren't you going to tell me i was stupid or something?" I said incredulously. He shook his head.
"You trust me not to hurt you so no matter what i say it won't mean anything," He said smiling. It was true. I just grinned at him and the blush on my cheeks finally appeared. He just sniggered and turned my head to look at him before gently placing a kiss on my forehead tenderly.
"What a cute little human," He mused before pulling me up with him and we headed off to get me some lunch.
"Lizzie!" Emmett called rushing out of the living room.
"Emmy!" I said grinning, he laughed and pulled me into a bear hug.
"Ok...crushing me now," I wheezed to him and he released me. By the time i was released Jasper was brandishing a sandwich at me. I took the plate and smiled to Jasper.
"Thats Jazz!" I said and skipped off to the living room to eat my sandwich.
"I missed you playing dress up?" Edward said as i sat down on the sofa with him. I grinned at him.
"It's for Jasmine's birthday party..." I said matter-of-fact-ly and ate my sandwich happily.
"Jasper what on earth did you do to her emotions? I swear she's high," Emmett said looking at me as i finished my sandwich. Jasper laughed and smiled at me.
"I didn't do anything," He said softly smiling at me. Edward made a gagging noise at Jasper who leapt at him. I lifted up my legs as they started to wrestle on the floor playfully. Bella came in with Renesmee who hopped up onto the sofa next to me and rested her head against my arm. After a few minutes of watching them wrestle they were finished and i was sweating.
"Nessie you're boiling her," Jasper said laughing, his hair all messy.
"But Uncle Jasper!" Nessie complained. Edward raised his eyebrow at his daughter and she went to play in the garden.
Jasper sat down next to me, quickly cooling me to a temperature i was used to. I smiled to him and he was smirking at me.
"What?" I said narrowing my eyes.
"Nothing..." He said innocently his luscious blond hair flopping back into place. I looked dubious and Edward left the room dragging Emmett with him. I wasn't sure what was going on but i was sure Jasper had told them to get out via mind with Edward. Never a good sign.
"Oh nothing is it? Then why did Edward and Emmett leave hmm?" I said lightly running my fingers through my light brown hair. He smirked again and stretched out his legs needlessly.
"Jasmine's party in her grandmother's house right? She said that they are going to have pictures out in the snow before we go in? Why don't we ride round to there instead of taking the car? It's only ten minutes," He said thoughtfully. I looked doubtful.
"Cycle? In that dress?" I said which caused him to laugh and shake his head.
"I meant on a horse...bicycles weren't in the civil war..." He said chuckling. I still looked dubious.
"I cannot ride a horse..." I admitted, "And where would you get a horse anyway?"
"Horse and carriage then... and don't worry i shall sort everything,"
