Chapter fifteen
Still December 8th
The night went on and soon enough Jasper was getting edgy and his eyes where quickly darkening. I placed a hand on his shoulder and frowned slightly, seeing his pained face turn to look at me.
"You want to leave soon?" I said softly as he grabbed my hand squeezing it gently. He just nodded, not breathing and frowned guiltily. I smiled sweetly and rubbed my hand up and down his arm soothingly.
"Don't feel bad, i'm glad we stayed this long. I'll call Ed to come pick us up," I said and pulled my phone out my bag and text him to come get us.
"Why don't you and Emmett go wait outside until he gets here," I said quietly, "I'll tell Mini you're not feeling great ok?" He nodded and dragged Emmett quite forcefully out the door with him.
"Party over huh?" Rosalie said not seeming that bothered; she just came so she could dress up. Hanging around with humans wasn't how she usually spent her evenings.
"Jasper's had enough," I said as we walked over to Jasmine who was still buzzing with hyperactivity.
"Hey Mini, Jasper's not feeling well so we're going to head back ok?" I said giving her a hug. She frowned slightly.
"Is he ok?" She said slightly worried. I smiled reassuringly.
"Yeah, he's probably just tired...nothing to worry about. Carlisle will fix him up when we get back to his house," I said lightly. She raised an eyebrow at me.
"Staying with him tonight huh? Dirty girl..." She said sniggering. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm camping out in the living room with Bella and Rosalie...nothing like what is rushing through your filthy mind," I said giving her another hug as i saw Rosalie point to Emmett hovering in the door way.
"Well here is our ride! I'll see you at school ok?" I said, "Happy birthday!"
"Thank you for inviting me," Rosalie said with a smile. Jasmine just smiled and waved us off singing to herself.
When we got back i had Esme pry me from my dress.
"You really did look lovely it, "She said fondly as she carefully laid it on the bed, "I remember my mother having dresses like this when i was a child...well vaguely," I smiled to her as i slid off everything else and put on my joggers and a tank top.
"It's so nice having Jasper so happy," She said as she sat my down before her vanity table and brushed out my hair. Being in Carlisle and Esme's room was... weird.
"It was too long for him to be so depressed. He is a completely different person with you, different even from when he joined our family," Esme said seeming in her own little world as she ran the brush through my hair, "You are good for him and i am so glad you are here," She span me around to face her and smiled before gently kissing my forehead.
"I would be happy to have you as one of my daughters," She whispered before shooing me out.
A mother. Something i had never had and never thought i would have and yet Esme would be happy to have me, the simple human, as one of her daughters?
I slinked into Jasper's room to find him in his boxers hanging up his uniform.
"Sorry," I sang spinning around to face away from him. He chuckled and i heard the doors of the cabinet close and two cold arms wrap around my soft warm body.
"No you're not," He whispered pressing his lips against the top of my head. I grinned and span around in his arms placing my palms on his bare chest.
"Possibly," I whispered with a smirk.
Wednesday 11th December
I was buzzing with excitement as i hopped out of my car at school only to be attacked by people, my friends.
"Here's your xmas prezzie!" Jasmine said as they piled the bags into the back of my car. There where tonnes, how on earth i'd get them on the plane i had no idea but i would manage.
"Wow! Thanks everyone!" I said opening the boot of my car to distribute their presents. Jasper came up behind me and rested his chin on my head, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Where's my present," He said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes at him.
"You're not having yours until Christmas day!" I said flicking him on the nose. He snapped playfully at my finger the corners of his lips tugging into the most seductive of smiles. I had to literally contain myself from jumping him there and mauling his lips. I pulled away from him and locked up my car before grabbing him by the wrist to go to class, feeling the heat rise in my cheeks.
Since Jasmine's party Jasper and i seemed to have gotten a lot closer. I really don't know what happened; it was as though something just...clicked between us. He seemed to be constantly in contact with me, if we weren't together at our houses he was texting me, emailing me, ringing me. I honestly didn't mind, he was my drug and i couldn't get enough. I was to far gone for rehab. The kiss we shared on the weekend hadn't happened again, our lips had kept to themselves but i hoped so much they would connect again soon, before i went cold turkey.
We slid into our seats in class, deciding on boys on one row girls on another. Rosalie seemed just as excited as me.
"You know what'll happen if..." Rosalie started in a sing song voice.
"Oh don't worry Rose," I said with a grin to her. Her eyes lit up. Jasmine smirked mischievously.
"Oh you two finally going to do 'it'?" Jasmine said quietly before giggling like a little kid.
"Oh totally," I said jokingly to which Rosalie cackled slightly. I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Edward will so kill you if you're pregnant when you get back," Rosalie said sniggering.
"Rose...i'm not going to have sex with him," I said flatly. Jasmine and Rosalie shared a look as Emmett turned around.
"Bet you will..." Em said grinning like a fool. Jasper frowned as he looked between us.
"Will what?" He said slowly.
"Have sex," Emmett said plainly. BANG. Jasper punched Emmett right between the eyes, a sickening crack sounding throughout the room. I gave Jasper a high five, our hands lingering in contact and grinned victoriously.
"Now Emmett i hope you've learnt your lesson," I said in a condescending manner. He slowly nodded holding his nose straight as it healed.
"Wow... now that was a punch!" Conner said sounding impressed Rosalie rolled her eyes at Emmett when he turned to look at her sheepishly.
Emmett was still complaining that Jasper hit him by the time we got to lunch.
"Look Em you deserved it!" I said sitting down with my tray of food, "You go too far with EVERYTHING!" I opened up my sandwiches and started to eat. Jasper sat down next to me and grinned at Emmett evilly.
"How's the nose?" He said holding back a laugh. Emmett grumbled something to which Jasper laughed. Edward just shook his head when he sat down next to Emmett.
"You really are an idiot aren't you?" He said in exasperation.
Rosalie and Bella where shoving anything and everything lacy and skimpy into my suitcase that they could find in my wardrobe, which was pretty much all the stuff Rosalie had made me buy, using Jasper's money of course. I sat on my bed in horror as Rosalie discovered the bag of very very small revealing lacy underwear they had bought me on our interesting shopping trip and tipped it into the suitcase.
"You are not seriously making me take those are you?" I said as Rosalie approvingly added some of my own clothes into the pile in the suitcase.
"Of course!" Rosalie said smiling and then looked to Bella shaking her head, "How come she can buy stylish clothes whilst you still need someone else to pick your outfit for you?" Bella rolled her eyes.
"I'm perfectly happy wearing what i wear, and anyway you don't have to dress me, you choose to" She said simply holding up some of my clothes to Rosalie who nodded and stuck them in the suit case.
"I might as well continue to do Alice's job," She said before snapping a hand over her mouth and looking to me. I rolled my eyes at her.
"I'm going for three weeks! Not three years!" I said sighing and moving to the suitcase to fold the clothes up so they actually fitted before they helped to put in everything else i needed.
I heard a knock on the door and turned to see my dad standing there looking stunned at Rosalie and Bella. Well yes, he was checking them out to my great horror. Disgusting old man.
"Dad!" I said seeming surprised, "This is Jasper's twin sister Rosalie Hale and his adoptive sister Bella Cullen," He came to his senses and smiled.
"Hello i'm Derek," He said after clearing his throat and tried to look dashing, which he failed at miserably.
"Nice to meet you Dr. Daxon," Rosalie said smiling and zipped up my suitcase. He seemed to be finding it hard to breathe.
"You going to be ok whilst i'm gone?"I said grinning to him knowingly.
"Of course... now if he does anything you don't like...anything at all call me and i'll come get you ok?" He said pulling me into a hug. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Dad! Jasper is going to take good care of me so stop worrying! And anyway i'll be in Texas, no way you're going to come get me. Now we've got to go ok? I'll call you when i get there," I said smiling, "You're presents are under the tree,"
"I gave yours to Carlisle to hide," He said grinning. I pouted like a child.
"Don't trust me with them?" I said sulkily.
"No..." He said plainly and squeezed me into a tight hug. I hugged him back and kissed his cheek.
"Well we're off," i said and Rosalie squeezed past me with the suitcase followed by Bella and me.
"Bye dad!" I called up the stairs.
"Bye bye Elizabeth," He said waving to me, a tear in his eye.
Jasper was zooming around the house like a whirlwind when we got to the Cullen's. Numerous bags were stacked by the door waiting to go.
"That is so not going to fit in our luggage allowance," I said eyeing it up disdainfully.
"Jasper has already sorted it," Edward said before planting a kiss on Bella's cheek. I smiled and skipped into the living room and sat down on the empty sofa only to find myself sitting on Jasper's lap once i reached the seat. He pulled me so my back was tight against his chest, his cold breath against my neck making the hairs rise up. Heat rose in my cheeks as i leaned my head to look up at him. He was a lot taller than me, standing at a staggering six foot three inches, i was only five foot eight. I reached up and ran my fingers through his hair and got the result i wanted when the husky purring noise resounded from his throat and his eyes slid shut.
"Jasper you know someone is going to walk in," I whispered to him as his eyes half opened.
"I don't care," He whispered back his freezing fingers tracing along the bare skin of my stomach making me gasp slightly. He smirked and leant down to my neck, placing butterfly kisses up it.
"Jasper..." I breathed trying to make him stop. He placed a kiss below my ear and i heard the intake of air as he went to say something. BANG. The living room door flew open.
"Hey Jasper! You got your stuff?" Emmett said loudly throwing a box of condoms at Jaspers head which bounced onto my lap. Then he realized how we where sat and looked sheepish.
"Erm... whoopps..." He said backing out slowly as Jasper glared and him. I slid off his lap and watched as he flew at Emmett tackling him to the ground as they argued at vampire frequency.
