Chapter Eleven

Jasper

It's finally Sunday and I'm nervous. I've never taken a girl out on a date. I actually had to ask Emmett for advice. He and Carlisle regularly take Rose and Esme out. He simply said be a gentleman, pay for everything and be attentive. Those things I can do.

At five pm on the dot I'm at her front door and ringing the door bell like a boy would do to pick up their date. One of Bella's neighbors is out on their front porch and I know before we're even out of the town limits word will have gotten all around Forks that Jasper Hale was seen picking up Bella Swan wearing a pair of black jeans, boots and a navy button up and darker navy dinner jacket and looking as if he's taking her on a date.

She comes to the door smiling and wearing the outfit Peter and Charlotte brought her last night. They told me I wasn't allowed to peek and so I didn't, though I was sorely tempted. I'm glad I waited to be surprised. She's stunning in a white crochet lace mini dress with her hair floating around her waist and wearing a pair of red flats for a splash of color.

She steps across the threshold and turns to lock her door and then links her arm with mine as I lead her to Rose's car. My vehicle wouldn't be appropriate for tonight. I revamped- no pun intended- an American Triumph motorcycle, it's all black and chrome with built in saddlebags and a bitch seat with a back. I do want to take her out on it but her safety is paramount and I haven't had the chance to buy her a helmet and leathers to wear when riding with me, so borrowing a car is what I will have to do until then.

I chose Rose's little red BMW convertible for tonight because I wanted to put the top down and just take a leisurely drive with her to Port Angeles. I show what my mama taught me by opening the door and helping her in before heading to my side and climbing behind the wheel. As we pull out of her driveway I chuckle at her little wave to her neighbor.

"Nice night for a drive isn't it Mr. Johansen?" As I pull away she giggles.

"You know he'll have word spread through town about me picking you up right?"

"Oh I know. That's why I made sure he saw me. Not that he could miss me. Now take me to the movies cowboy."

"Yes ma'am."

The drive is quiet, but for the country music station I have playing in the background. I like it, but I'm more eclectic in my music choices then most people think. I like just about everything, even some classical. Though that dub step club type music is harsh on a vampires sensitive ears. So we tend to avoid it.

We hit the outskirts of Port Angeles and as we're passing the first hotels I swear I see Alice, but when I look in the mirror she's gone. Must have thought I saw her. She wouldn't have any reason to go into a hotel in Port Angeles after all.

I pull into La Bella Italia and park the car and help Bella out. We walk in hand in hand and happen to spy a group of the Forks kids in a large booth in one corner. Good, this will get word around Forks even more and move me closer to being able to plausibly move in with Bella. We're led to a private table at the opposite side of the restaurant but still in full view of the group and I can feel some jealousy coming from the table. I glance that way and see Lauren Mallory glaring at Bella.

She was always trying to get me to go out with her but little girls like her are not my taste. She didn't take to kindly to being told no. I also see Tyler looking interestedly at Bella and feel my hackles rise. He better keep his hands to himself lest he find them removed from his body. Returning my attention to my mate I see the smirk on her face.

"You know I can practically smell the jealousy coming off you? And I'm human. Calm down Jazz, I'd never look twice at that boy."

"Sorry darlin', it's a natural reaction."

"I understand," she says as she reaches across and takes my hand in hers, all the love she feels for me shining brightly in her beautiful eyes.

We quickly eat our meal- well I make it look like I ate by pretending to put the food in my mouth and spreading it out on the plate a bit- and make our way to the theater. Now most guys would expect a girl to want to see some romantic chick flick on a date night, not my Bella. She chooses Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the new action movie with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and we get in line for our tickets. The group from the restaurant comes up behind us and I can hear Lauren say something snarky.

"What does that mousy little thing have that I don't? He'll get passed the shiny new toy feeling and realize she's not worthy of him. You'll see." Her comrades simply ignore her, though I can feel some annoyance coming from Angela Weber. Now there's a girl I might have dated if she wasn't afraid of me. And of course there's the fact I now have my mate and no other woman appeals to me.

What Lauren doesn't get is I'm not worthy of Bella, not the other way around. But her words don't bother me and as Bella never heard them I pay her jealousy no mind. She's as insignificant as a flea to me. I get Bella a soda and a bag of candy and we make our way into the theater. Thankfully the girls of the other group dragged them all into that romantic chick flick movie and I don't have to deal with them the rest of the night.

After the movie I take Bella for some ice cream and then we head home. I make a show of dropping her off and leaving, then I drive Rose's car home and run back to Bella's. She's in her closet when I get there and so I strip off and climb into her bed in my boxers. Despite the early start to the evening it was still around eleven when I got her home, so I figure she's probably tired and ready for bed. She has an early shift tomorrow too.

How wrong I am though when she comes out of her closet wearing an ice blue silk and lace nightie with a split in the side that shows one leg to the thigh. She is stunning. The silk of the gown brushes against her pale skin and her hair flows gently down her back. She looks like a nymph in the soft glow of the moon coming through her curtains. She walks slowly towards me and as I feel for her emotions I realize I can't feel them. What the fuck?

Bella

When Jasper dropped me off I made quick work of getting ready for his return. I took a quick bath and made sure my skin was still smooth from shaving this morning. I grabbed the nightie Charlotte had purchased without Peter's knowledge and slipped it on, the cool silk sliding down my body in a sensual manner that made me feel like the goddess I am not. I wish he wasn't able to feel my emotions. I am nervous when I have no reason to be, we've already made love before after all.

So why am I so nervous? Tonight was wonderful and I want to be sure the ending is perfect. Perhaps that's it. I'm afraid of ruining a perfect evening, but when I see the way he looks at me when I come out of the closet I know I'm being silly. But then his expression shifts to one of consternation. Have I done something wrong?

"Jazz?"

"I can't feel you."

"What?"

"Your emotions. I can't feel them."

"What!" How can that be? My emotions are strong and all over the place, how can he not feel them.

And then it hit me. I had been wishing he wasn't able to feel my emotions, how nervous I was. I have a gift that apparently blocks mental gifts- which Jasper's is. Even though he physically controls emotions, emotions come from the mind. They aren't physical but mental, so how is it he can feel mine in the first place? Because he is my mate. That can be the only explanation. As my mate his gift should work on me because I would have no fear of him. He would never hurt me. So his gift works on me, mental shield or not. But now I'm blocking him, because I wished to do so. My gift is doing what I want.

And is this is, in fact, the case then what will it be like when it physically manifests once I am a vampire? If it is this strong now, how strong will it be then? Wow. But at the moment I can't focus on all that. I have to comfort my very concerned and confused mate. I can see in his eyes he doesn't like not being able to feel me. Well my emotions that is. Soon he'll be getting a whole lot of me. Crawling on the bed I straddle his lap.

"I think it's my gift."

"Your gift? But I was able to feel them before."

"But I wished you couldn't just this once. I didn't want you to feel how nervous I was and I think subconsciously my gift did just that. Kept you from feeling my emotions." Then I think about how I want him to feel what I am feeling and I watch his face change. The creases in his furrowed brows smooth out and he looks relieved.

"I can feel them again. Wow Bella. If you're able to do that now and subconsciously, how will your gift work when you're like me?"

"I was thinking the same thing, but there won't be an answer to that until I'm a vampire. So how about we put this aside for now and you make the ending of this night even more perfect? Make love to me Jasper."

"With pleasure."

He sits up and kisses me. His fingers threading through my hair to cup the back of my neck. It's gentle at first but quickly turns more passionate, his tongue sweeping into my mouth to tangle with my own. Then he moves to kiss down my neck, pulling my hair so my head drops back and he can nibble along the arch of my throat. My moan just spurs him on. With one hand at the small of my back he moves the other down the side of my neck and across one shoulder- moving the strap of the gown down my arm.

Removing his hand from my back he slides it up my spine, cups my other shoulder and moves that strap down until my breasts are bared to him. Nuzzling my neck, inhaling my scent deeply making me shudder, he kisses his way down across my collarbone and takes one turgid peak into his cool wet mouth.

"Oh god!" I arch into his mouth and he hums his approval, the vibrations against my nipple sending vibrations across my skin and creating goosebumps along my heated flesh. Reaching up he cups the other breast and moves his mouth to that peak. He lavishes attention to my breasts until I'm panting and grinding against the erection straining against his boxers. I'm going to come just from his mouth on my sensitive flesh and his cock against my clit.

He doesn't stop, just continues switching back and forth between my nipples until I cry out my release. Then he flips us over, after pulling my nightie over my head, and pushes his boxers down as far as he can. Then he kicks them off the rest of the way. He lays his body against mine and lines himself up with my wet core and pushes inside slowly.

"Mmmmmm, Jasper. That feels so good."

"You feel good darlin'. So tight and hot and wet. So good." He shifts, tucking his arms under my knees and rising up so my knees are raised. Then he pulls out. I expect a slow reentry but he surprises me by plunging into me fast and hard, sliding so deep it pulls a cry from my lips and my nails try to dig into his forearms.

"This is going to be fast darlin'. I can't hold back this time."

"Please. Please!" I have no idea what I'm asking for but he does. He pulls out again and slams back into me just to repeat the process again and again. I quickly loom closer and closer to a second climax as his muscles push and pull his body from mine. In and out, in and out he went. Over and over. His breathing becomes harsh, his movements erratic and I know he's close too.

Moving my hands down his back to his buttocks I cup each cheek and feel the muscles moving. It's so damn sensual and I lose all control, coming with his name on my lips. A few more thrusts and he empties inside of me, his forehead coming to rest on my shoulder as our breaths mingle. He slides from me and roles to his side. I have just enough strength to move, curling up into his side my head on his chest- a smile on contentment on my lips as I close my eyes and swiftly fall asleep.

Alice

Oh no! I didn't expect this! Edward has decided to return early. I have to warn Jasper; and quickly. This isn't good, not good at all. We planned to keep him away from Bella as long as possible but now, he's going to meet her sooner because there's no way we can come up with an excuse to stay away from the Fourth of July celebrations on First Beach. We can possibly keep her away from him during the day but Carlisle has already explained that it's tradition to watch the fireworks together as a family and I'm sure he'll expect Bella to be there.

When I get to the backdoor I can smell the sex they had, which makes me miss Felix again and makes me want to go back to him. I was supposed to have all night last night and all day today, but this vision interrupted everything. I knock on the door, even though I know Jazz has probably already heard me and felt how urgently I need to speak with him.

Sure enough he's at the door in seconds, opening it and stepping outside. He looks at me with apprehension so I don't even wait for him to ask me what's wrong.

"I had a vision. We need to get ahold of Peter and the others. Tell them I had a dream or whatever, but Edward is coming home sooner than planned." With my words his posture changes. His feet move apart and he crosses his arms over his chest, this is the stance of a commander. He's going into Major mode.

"How much time do we have Alice?" His tone is commanding and I immediately respond to it.

"Two weeks. He's coming back for the Fourth of July celebrations. That's the only decision he's made so far, but I'll let you know more if I see more. You know though, that this means he's going to meet her. We won't have any legitimate reason to keep her away. Carlisle will insist she be there since it's tradition to watch the fireworks together."

"Yes, I know. Keep me informed if you see anything further."

"Of course." Then I just can't help myself and ask, "so, how did your date go?" He relaxes a bit, looking at his feet and a smile tips the corners of his mouth. If we could blush I know he would be.

"Perfectly," he whispers. Almost as if he's awed by the fact. I guess it makes sense he would be. He's never taken a girl out before, after all.

"I'm glad to hear that. Just keep doing what your doing Jazz and everything will be fine. The townsfolk will accept your relationship and you can move in with her soon. In an official capacity that is," I say with a wink. He laughs at me, but then glances behind him checking to make sure he didn't wake Bella. It is two o' clock in the morning after all.

"Well I'll let you get back to her. I ended my hunt early to come warn you and now I have to get back. Still hungry."

"Have fun Alice."

"You know, before I tried the animal hunting I would have laughed at you and said you were a liar for saying hunting animals was fun, but after this. I can see why you guys are content to maintain your diet."

"Maybe you should keep to it then, after your assignment is over."

"I might just do that Jazz. I might truly just do that. Well, see ya." I run off into the forest, but glance back just in time to watch him slip back inside to be with his girl. Turning back around I head back to the hotel in Port Angeles and my mate.

As I run I take down a couple small deer and remember how close I came to getting caught. It's not that I don't trust Jasper and Bella, it's just that knowing she's in danger- and my true history- is more than enough to keep their minds occupied without adding that Felix is my mate; and that he's here in Washington State. So I decided to remain silent but that means sneaking about. Plus I have to be careful around Carlisle. He's the only one to have ever met my mate in person and as a vampire we have exceptional memories and I'm sure he'd remember Felix' scent and would recognize it "in" me. Sort of like you can smell Jazz "in" Bella.

So I have to watch myself around Carlisle. But that's easy. He's almost never home. He's usually at the clinic on the Res or the hospital here in Forks. So I don't have to avoid him. I just have to ensure I'm not ever seen going to Felix' room like I almost was last night by Jazz.

"Oh shit! Jasper and Bella!" I run at vampire speed to Felix's room and crash through the door causing him to look at me strangely. Habit has me panting as if I had just run a marathon and I peek out the curtain and sigh in relief as Rose's car keeps on driving down the street. That was close, too close.

"Not that I'm not happy to see you so swiftly il mio amore, but why are you running into my room like that?"

"Jasper almost saw me just now. You know why I didn't tell them, amore mio. So I couldn't chance his actually seeing me had he looked in his rear view mirror. He has enough to think about with Edward and this threat against our family." They ceased seeing the brothers as masters long before I came along and joined them.

"Yes, I know. I don't like it, but I understand. Now, how about we put this moment behind us and you let me love you? I've missed you immensely." He then swoops forward and grabs me up in his strong arms and kisses me. He's so tall and I'm so short that he has to literally pick me up just to do so. The kiss lasts forever it seems before he finally sets me down and starts stripping me and then himself.

His tall, muscular body makes me so wet and I can't help myself. Once he's finally naked I jump him, literally, and we crash to the bed and make love savagely. That is until I have the vision. I vow to return as soon as I warn Jasper; and then rush out the door.

When I reach his room once more, we pick up where we left off and don't leave the bed until the sun has almost reached the western horizon again. Unfortunately I have to head back to the Cullens if I'm to maintain my cover until the time comes that I can tell them the truth. I kiss my mate goodbye long and hard before we reluctantly release each other.

"Until next time il mio amore."

"Until next time. I love you Felix."

"And I you, my Alice." As I run back towards Forks my mind drifts to the moment we first set eyes on each other and I smile. He was so shocked to see me; and Demetri had to be the one to tell us what we were to each other, I was new to the life after all and Felix had lived so long without his mate he couldn't believe he had found me at last. That was the beginning of the most wonderful years of my life.
