Chapter Eight: Shopping. Joy.

(BPOV)

The rest of the week passed uneventfully. It was only school and hanging out with the Cullen's after school. I started hanging around Jasper much more than I ever had. We are alike in so many ways and he is so easy to communicate with.

"Let's go shopping!" Alice said. Why does it always have to be shopping? Why not horseback riding or throwing shoes over telephone lines? That would be fun.

"How about no." Matthew told her which made her pout. Then Sila glared at him, which made him nod his head vigorously, I guess he will be going shopping with them after all.

"I think I'll come too." They widened their eyes in disbelief. "Hey I never said I would be shopping for clothes." I smiled.

I walked upstairs to Emmett and Rosalie's room and asked them, "Hey guys do you want to come shopping with us?" through the door.

"Yeah just give us five minutes." Emmett breathed out. Maybe I should have asked them last, considering that was quite disturbing. Lucky we weren't at my house otherwise they would be burning right now.

Edward and Tanya were staying at their home so I didn't have to ask them; Amen for no more awkward conversations.

I made my way to Jaspers room and knocked before walking right in. I looked around and didn't see him anywhere.

"Jasper, where are you?" I looked around but didn't see him that's when I heard the shower running. I guess I'll just wait for him. I told myself. I sat on his bed and saw a book about the Civil War on his bedside table. Typical. I giggled. I was so engrossed in the book that I didn't notice he had walked into the room until he asked me if I was enjoying the book.

"Yeah, it's really interesting. I never knew the Civil war was this interesting; I'll have to borrow this sometime." I told him. I looked up from the book and noticed something; he was only wearing a towel that was hanging extremely low on his hips which emphasised his V-line. He had beads of water trailing down his chest and off of his damp hair. On bead of water trailed down towards his crotch region which had me thinking I wish I was that bead of water. Did I just think that? Inappropriate Bella, very inappropriate! I noticed all the scars on his beautiful body and thought who could do something like that to someone. All those bites represented everything he went through in his past. My heart pretty much broke by just thinking about it, imagine going through it.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts and remembered that I was supposed to inform him about our trip to go shopping. "Hey Jasper we're all going shopping." I told him with false enthusiasm.

He laughed, "Yeah I just can't wait. Can't I just stay home?" He whined.

"Jasper, stop being such a child your coming and that's the end of it." I got off of his bed and made my way towards the door, "So get dressed." I told him. "Fine" he told me with a grin. I opened the door and walked out but not before I got a last look at his perfect body. I closed the door smiling; then something hit me. Jasper can feel emotions, he can feel what I'm feeling! Shit, deffinately not good now he's going to know I was drooling over his delicious body. I heard him laugh from inside his room. I sighed. This was going to be a long shopping trip.

We left for the mall five minutes after the little Jasper incident and arrived about ten minutes later.

"C'mon Bella lets go shopping!" Alice and Sila said excitedly. I groaned.

"Guys, the type of shopping I'm going to do isn't the same type of shopping you want me to do. So I'll call to see where you guys are when I'm finished okay." I told them. They pouted, but that won't work on me this time, so I smiled and made my way to the nearest bookstore. Before I could get very far I felt someone grab my arm. Great some pervert is touching me; I shuddered.

"Yes?" I asked without turning around.

"You honestly think you were going to leave me with those little balls of energy? That's harsh Bella; I can't believe you would do that to me." He sounded hurt but I know he was just having some fun.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry Jasper I just assumed you would want to go shopping for some new dresses and skirts." I told him. He laughed and linked arms with me. Wait linked arms with me? Why would he link arms with me? I have to calm down; don't think too much into this. We're just friends. Just because he is one sexy piece of pie doesn't mean he wants you in that way, so calm down and enjoy shopping with him and try not to jump his bones in the middle of the shopping centre, that will be quite embarrassing.

"Bella?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you okay?" Oh shit. I mentally head slapped myself. For some reason I kept forgetting he can feel other people's emotions. I had to think of a lie, and fast.

"Yeah I'm fine, just thinking about a few things."

"Well if you need to talk to anyone then I'm right here beautiful." He smiled down at me.

If I were still human then I would be as red as Ronald McDonald's afro.

"Thank you Jasper, really. Ever since we all reunited I feel so much happy, so much more content with my life. I'm so glad you're all back in my life now."

"I know how you feel. Bella without you in our lives it was meaningless. When we left our lives were missing something; it was happiness. You were what made us all happy and we all missed you so badly." We smiled at each other.

"You always know how to make me extra happy you know that Jasper." I told him.

We walked for a few more minutes until we came across a bookstore.

"Ok how about a plan?" I asked him.

"What do you have in mind Mi amor?" Ever since we had gotten closer he had always said that to me. Mi amor I find it so sweet. I know Edward used to call me something along those lines but coming out of Jasper's mouth, it sounds so much sweeter.

"Well you go look for whatever books you want and I will do the same, we will have fifteen minutes each and at the end of it we will meet at the register, but there is a catch; you have to have a minimum of ten books if not then you are the other persons slave." I told him with a massive grin.

He laughed. "Your just making it up as you go aren't you?"

I laughed as well, "Of course, is there any other way?"

We went our separate ways in search of a minimum of ten books. I better win; it's going to be pretty sad if I made the deal and end up losing. After what seemed only a few minutes someone tapped me on the shoulder.

"Yes?" I turned around and was face to chest with Jasper and his pile of more than ten books.

"Since I have more than ten books and we still have more than ten minutes left do I win?"

I looked at him dumbfounded.

"I'll take that as a yes then." He smirked. I'm so screwed.

"What are you going to make me do?" I asked, fearful of the embarrassment he would put me through.

"Oh nothing to bad." He smirked, again. "Firstly I'll go call the others while you check out the rest of the books and tell them to meet us somewhere, and then we'll go shopping." He squealed. Now you may be thinking I'm lying at that Jasper would never do something along those lines but he did, he so did and I wish I had a video camera on me. He laughed and made he's way to call the others while I finished looking around.

We bought our books and made our way to Victoria's secret; yes that's where they agreed to meet. Yay sexy lingerie. Before we could even make it into the shop Alice and Sila ran out of the store, grabbed onto each of my arms and dragged me into the intimidating place. By the time I was a few feet into the store they had already placed layer upon layer of an unnecessary amount of clothing.

"I'm not trying these on nor am I buying anything." I told them, trying to back away from the changing rooms without using my insane strength. They smirked at me. Shit! They're up to something, I know it.

"Sorry Mi Amor but you have to."Jasper said with a goofy grin on his face.

I laughed. "Yeah sure, you're going to make me do something... right."

"Well remember our deal back in the book store, yeah that started when I won." I gulped. How could I have forgotten that? I stared at him and he knew he had won.

"I'll get you back for this Jasper." I threatened to which he just grinned.

Alice and Sila dragged me into the changing rooms and shut the door. Hanging on the back of the door was a racy black number. It was a bra and thong combination with some lace and a few little ribbons. I have to admit, it was hot. But I didn't get why I should be buying things like this when I have no special someone. It sort of made me a bit sad, that I didn't have someone to spend the rest of my eternity with; sure in the future I might possibly find someone but what about now, I know I sound childish but I want one now.

"Bella" Alice called.

"Yes?"

"Are you okay in there?"

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?"

"Because Jasper can feel your emotions and he said that they were going haywire, one minute you were happy the next you were depressed, are you sure you're alright?" I appreciated how concerned they were about me.

"Thanks Alice, but I'm fine. I'll be out in a few." I told her.

I tried on the bra and thong and admired myself in the mirror. I had to admit I did look pretty good. I smiled and called out to Alice and Sila. I unlocked the door and slowly opened it. Alice and Slia were staring in awe while Jasper, who was behind them, was staring at me with his mouth slightly open. I smirked and put my hands on my hips.

"Hey Jasper, it would be wise if you closed your mouth, because it's kind of rude to stare." I told him playfully which then he immediately closed his mouth and started to look around the room.

"Bella, I never knew you looked so hot in a thong!" Alice squealed while SIla just looked at me and Alice with a psshhh-I-already-knew-that face. Alice and SIla left, saying they needed to go find me more things to try on that included a thong which left Jasper and me, alone.

"Jasper, what's wrong? You look a bit weird." I asked him. His eyes were darting around the room and he looked like he didn't want to be there.

"Uhh... nothing. I'm fine, nothing's wrong, nah nothing's wrong, I'm fine, just fine."

"Jasper, you're rambling."

He looked at me sheepishly.

"Jasper," I said, walking towards him "What's wrong sweetheart?" I asked him. Being nice and sucking up got you everywhere, but this was Jasper, if something was wrong I deffinately wanted to know. He was my best friend and you have to help your bestie out.

"You look beautiful Bella." Was what he said. I frowned, I don't get it. Is that why he was acting so weirdly, just because he thought I looked beautiful.

"Jasper, is that the real reason?"

"Yes, it is." He left it as that and pushed me back into the changing room and walked away. I don't know what his problem is but I'll have to find out soon.

We finished up shopping and were walking towards our cars. The boys were carrying all of our bags plus a few of theirs while us girls walked around carefree. I got into my car with Jasper in the passenger seat, and the others got into theirs and we drove back home. All through the drive Jasper was acting weird, I could of easily used his powers or any other power to see what was going on with him but I always found that as an invasion of privacy.

"Jasper, the silence is killing me. Please talk to me." I whined.

He didn't say anything. He just sat there in silence.

"Jasper," I whispered. I didn't know what to do. Something was wrong with him but he wouldn't open up to me, he wouldn't let me into his beautiful complicated head.

"You're beautiful." He whispered.

(JPOV)

"You're beautiful." I whispered.

Which she was, when I saw her coming out of the changing room the world stopped. I didn't see my best friend, I didn't see my supposed sister, I saw this beautiful woman standing right in front of me; a beautiful woman that I wanted, needed.

I felt like such an idiot. I can't have feelings like that for Bella, that's inappropriate. Firstly she is my best friend; I shouldn't be having these feelings for my best friend. She is also Edwards ex fiancée. She has already been hurt once she wouldn't risk it twice. No matter how much I wanted for her to be mine, it could never happen. What, hold up a second. I wanted her to be mine? Things are getting to far out of hand and I can't let that happen.

So I didn't speak to her. I stayed quiet, which made her infuriated but slowly subsided to hurt and being upset. I hated doing this to her, I didn't want her to be upset because of me, I just wanted her to be happy, I wanted to make her happy.

This went on for the majority of the trip, five minutes before we arrived at home Bella took out her phone and sent a message to someone. Five minutes later we drove right past our house. Something was up.

"Bella, where are we going?" I asked her.

"Oh what now our speaking to me?" She snapped.

"Bella please don't be angry with me."

"Why the hell shouldn't I be angry with you? For the past hour you have been ignoring me. How do you want me to feel Jasper, happy? You want me to be happy that my best friend is ignoring me for some reason that I'm not aware of? Did I do something wrong? If I did then please tell me so I know and don't do it again." We stopped on the side of the road and she continued with her rant. "Jasper what have I done? Please just tell me, I don't want you angry with me, I never want you angry with me Jasper, I love you with all my heart, I hate it when you're angry at me, and worst yet I don't even know what I've done wrong!"

Did I just hear her right? She said she loved me with all her heart. Without thinking about it first I grabbed her chin with my fingers and turned her face so she was looking at me. Her eyes were filled with tears she would never shed. When I saw that I leaned in and placed my lips on her perfectly plump ones. For lack of a better word they were so soft and warm. They were perfect. They moulded against mine like they were meant for each other. At first she was shocked and confused, but as I still kept my place on her lips she figured it out. Our lips moved in sync with each other, it was the best kiss I had ever had with someone. I could feel electricity move from her lips to mine, and all the way through my entire body. I have never thought about this before but doing it now just felt so right. Even if she hated me after this I'm glad I got one mind blowing kiss in.

After several minutes we separated. Her eyes were closed and she was breathing heavily. By her emotions I could tell she enjoyed the kiss just as much as I had. I was scared of her reaction though. Was she going to hate me for this and want me out of her life or was she going to accept how I felt about her. I hope she would accept it and not let it get in the way of our friendship; I cannot lose her.

"Is this why you were acting weird all day?" She asked me, breaking the silence.

I nodded my head but quickly realised her eyes were still closed. "Yes" I whispered.

Her eyes snapped open and I could feel her anger.

"You dick!" She screamed. "You were ignoring me just because you felt something for me? How stupid are you Jasper, why the hell would you ignore me just because of that!" She got out of the car and I mimicked her move. She walked around the car and began to crouch down in front of me.

"I'm going to whoop your ass for that Jasper." And with that she lunged at me.
