Chapter fourteen
Obviously still the 8th December
It was three in the afternoon and Jasper was relaxing on the bed whilst i played a snake 2 on my phone. If i hadn't have known he was a vampire i would have thought him dead, he wasn't breathing or moving or...well anything. I kind of guessed he was mentally psyching himself up for the party tonight. Being around me didn't bother him anymore, well i hoped and was pretty sure he didn't. However being in a room full of excited teenagers whose hearts where racing would be a slight temptation and i knew that any of the girls there would happily follow Jasper off somewhere even if they thought he was my boyfriend. I think everyone thinking Jasper was my boyfriend helped him as then girls didn't approach him and hang all over him trying to get him to go out with them. I was his fan girl shield.
Watching him lie there made him seem so vulnerable and innocent, so perfect. Like a sleeping angel. A sleeping angel with a set of razor sharp venom covered teeth. It made me start to think what would happen if you where to French kiss a vampire, i mean avoiding the teeth would be one thing but would the venom in their mouths hurt you? And that got me thinking about kissing Jasper, which wasn't a good thing. I started to get aroused and any emotion i don't hide whilst around Jasper seems to be amplified a hundred times. I smirked slightly and exited my game and put the phone on the bedside table. I moved to sit across Jasper's waist. He slowly opened one eye and peered up at me.
"What are you planning?" He said quietly, he knew me all too well.
"Why would i be planning something?" I said innocently leaning down towards his face. He just raised an eyebrow and opened both eyes, propping himself up on his elbows.
"Because you're sitting on my wai-mmppphss," He started to say but i cut him off by kissing him hard. Damn my run away emotions! I heard a soft growl come from the back of Jaspers throat as i knew my emotions took his emotions over. He roughly grabbed my shoulders and started to ravage my face. I soon found myself pinned under Jasper as he kissed me as i felt his cold hands start to slide up my shirt making me gasp. I saw him grin above me and lick his lips, leaning down towards my lips mouth still open slightly.
"Time to get ready!" Rosalie called in before opening the door. She took one step in and then stopped staring at us. Jasper and i where both looking at Rosalie in as much shock as she was. I suddenly came back to my senses and slapped my hand over my mouth. Jasper slid off of me and Rosalie sheepishly dragged me into her and Emmett room.
"What on earth was that?" She said grabbing stuff out of her cupboard. I sat on the end of her bed.
"Urm...i have to control any emotion i feel around Jasper you see. Its really annoying, if he's deep in thought or zoned out he kinda amplifies any emotions i feel it's like being bipolar sort of. And yeah...i started thinking...well...and as he was thinking about god knows what he amplified it and then it was so strong i well...you can guess and then he couldn't control himself and yeah..." I said seeming to have problems forming a coherent sentence. She just shook her head and laughed handing me a towel.
"You two should just get together already, it's driving the rest of us nuts knowing you both obviously like each other but are too idiotic to be a couple," She said then handing me a bottle of shower gel.
"Rosalie how on earth can you say that? I trust Jasper with my life, i really do but that would be dangerous. Look at what happened before with Bella and Edward. Sure it ended up fine but i'm not willing to put everyone else in danger for my selfish desires. I couldn't have Jasper constantly worrying about me or about something going wrong," I said sighing and looking at her. She just smiled.
"Look i know i didn't like you at first, i thought you'd just come along and our lives would be spent playing protect the human again. It's been what? Two months now, there's no psycho vampires, there's no broken bones...well there was your hand but thats what you get for whacking him," She said and i just rolled my eyes, "What i mean is that its ok. And lord if i'm saying its ok you have to know its ok. You see i hated Bella, i hated her right up to when she got pregnant, it was then that i realized she wasn't that bad and she really did care about Edward. You managed to prove how much you care about Jasper in a month and a half and you faced the Volturi and a pretty much psycho vampire...well Alice, but she counts," I laughed softly.
"Just stop worrying about everything. You have made Jasper happy and that is a freaking miracle. I will be very disappointed with you if you and Jasper aren't dating by the time you get back from holiday," Rosalie said waggling her finger at me.
"Is that meant to sound threatening?" I said flatly, she laughed.
"Well...i was going for motherly," She said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes.
"Rosalie i never had a mum, i wouldn't be able to tell motherly from threatening even if it bit me," She looked sad then, "My mum left when i was small. She ran off with some other bloke, divorced my dad and left me,"
After getting her to stop saying she felt sorry for me i was pointed towards her ensuite to shower. Esme and Bella where plotting with Rosalie when i got back, looking at something on Rosalie's iphone.
"What?" I said towelling my hair roughly with one hand. They smiled innocently and then attacked. I thought them where bad, Bella told me Alice was worse. Something about 'Bella Barbie' and not being able to plan her own wedding. Once they had dried and curled my hair into proper ringlets and pinned it up somehow they started to powder my face and put on makeup.
"Argh if women had to dress like this back then i'm glad i live now not then," I said looking at myself in the mirror. Its not that i looked bad, i loved my makeup and hair, like a princess! But it took so much effort to do and there was no way i could do it myself.
Next they forced me into a corset and petticoats; they said i didn't have to wear this dangerous looking wooden thing that goes around your waist because it was so old and splintering. I got extra petticoats instead to poof out my arse. Oh whoopee. Not. Then they put on the under dress part and the stockings and shoes before lacing me into the dress itself. I sat on the bed whilst they then did the same to Rosalie.
Rosalie's dress was new, well a new dress in an old style and she kept on complaining that mine was better than hers. I agreed, but that's because mine was real and hers was a copy. She looked stunning in her light blue dress. Then there was a knock at the door and Bella got passed my present box by a grey clad arm. I grinned; i knew Jasper was in his uniform, his real uniform.
"Oh my god! These are actual diamonds," Bella said attaching it all to me. I sighed and smiled slightly.
"A gift hmm? He buys you diamonds and you two aren't anything more than friends," Rosalie says putting her own jewellery on, "That's screwed up," I just admired myself in the mirror and smiled softly.
"Jasper bought them for me; i wasn't exactly going to say no now was i?" I said laughing and smiling.
"I would have...well i did, i refused all presents," Bella said twirling me around smiling.
"Jasper would have been upset if i had refused, why would i want to make him sad?" I said softly and Rosalie turned to the door and scowled.
"We're coming ok!" She called, for my benefit. Emmett must be complaining about how long we where taking getting ready.
Rosalie headed down the stairs first, earning a low playful growl from Emmett. Bella nodded for me to head down next, which i did, and i managed to be graceful about it too. Jasper looked stunning in his uniform which still fit him; well he couldn't really gain weight. His eyes where sparkling with happiness as he watched me walk down the stairs. Emmett was punched by Rosalie when he started to hum the wedding march. Jasper took my gloved hand when i reached the bottom step and kissed it gently.
"You look amazing," He said holding his arm out for me to take. I slipped my arm into his and smiled up at him.
"Thank you," I said shyly, "You don't look half bad yourself," He grinned turned around to the living room door. Carlisle and Esme where grinning and Carlisle had a camera.
"Oh no! Not a photo!" Emmett complained being pushed into some formation by Esme. Jasper slid an arm around my waist and winked to me. I placed a hand gently on his chest and smiled happily for the camera. Esme had Carlisle take pictures of all of us, individually, Jasper and Emmett together, me and Rosalie together and then in 'couples'.
Jasper led me out in to the heavy snow after wrapping some sort of shawl around my shoulders. Outside was a beautiful carriage pulled by four white horses. I smiled happily and Jasper placed the bag with the presents in it inside the carriage before helping me up the steps. Jasper sat next to me and Rosalie and Emmett opposite. I saw a slightly amused looking Edward climb up to wear the driver...if that's what you call them, sat and the carriage started to move. I looked out the window watching the snow dance down from the sky. Rosalie was smiling at me seeming content, wrapped up in Emmett's arms. Emmett looked amusing. Emmett in a suit was something i thought i would never see but it had happened and i was so glad Carlisle had photographic evidence for this.
The carriage pulled up out side the hall and i heard squeals of excitement. Edward opened the carriage door and Emmett stepped out then helped Rosalie out. Next jasper got out and helped me down. I looked up and smiled to Jasmine who looked lovely in a pinkish dress. She squealed and ran over.
"Oh my god Lizzie! Is that dress real? And are those diamonds? You look amazing!" She said hugging me. I laughed.
"Yes it's all real! Now happy birthday!" I said and hugged her back. She was giggling and was very hyper. Conner came over to take her inside. I smiled to him and then took Jasper's arm. We headed into the decorated hall and Jasper handed the bag full of presents to Conner who put them with the rest. I couldn't believe Jasmine was 18 already; we'd been best friends since we where three! I smiled to Jasper who really did look amazing in a uniform. It was true, a girl could not resist a man in a uniform, not that i could resist him anyway, it really was a major turn on.
The music was playing something classical to set the scene and Jasper led me onto the dance floor and we started to dance, i was really glad i had taken ball room up as a fad hobby for a few years when i was younger. If i had been dancing like Sophie Morsey was i would have died of embarrassment. Hip hop in a dress to classical music? I think not!
Jasper span me around gently and then back to his chest. I ran my hands up his uniform, running my fingers over the buttons. He had his arms around my waist and i smiled up to him.
"You look fantastic," I said smiling and slid my arms around his neck. He chuckled and i saw his eyes trail my body.
"You look stunning, you really are so beautiful," He whispered and lent down and kissed my forehead. I couldn't help but blush, Jasper was the only person to tell me i was beautiful and mean it. He was smiling at me, a true smile that seemed to shine like the sun.
My heart blossomed with emotion, an undying and unrequited love for Jasper. I saw something flicker in his eyes as i leaned up and kissed him softly on the lips and i was relieved when he kissed me back. I heard Rosalie whack Emmett for wolf whistling and i was going to pull away but Jasper had a hand behind my head so i mentally shrugged and pressed against his lips with more force. My body filled with emotions, confusion, anger, need, lust, worry, pain and love. I felt love rushing out of Jasper but it was mixed with so much confusion, worry and pain i knew not to pursue it yet. The emotions stopped and i needed air so we pulled away. I giggled slightly and pulled a tissue out of my handbag and tapped his lips with a finger.
"Not really your colour Kitty cat," I said trying to hide the huge blush building on my cheeks. He smirked slightly and i swear he was going to kiss me again when we heard a scream. Jasper quickly wiped the lip stick off his lips when we turned to see that Jasmine had just opened the present from Jasper and I.
"IT'S AN IPHONE 3GS!" She said and then attack hugged us, well me. I jumped in the way before she could push Jasper's limit. He looked grateful.
"THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!" She squealed.
"You're welcome," We said in unison laughing.
