A/N: This story is written as a collaboration by both Xo BellaItalia oX and dramaqueen1917. We hope that you enjoy the story and look forward to reading your reviews. – Bella'Xo

Last time we saw Bella…

"Look," Jacob began. "I want – I mean, my pack is going to want to know about you, especially since you're staying with Charlie and keeping company with vampires. Would we be able to meet up later tonight?"

"Tonight's actually not that good for me, because I have a previous engagement, but tomorrow night would be acceptable." I answered.

"Do you have a cell phone number or something?" He asked, but then quickly felt the need to explain. "You know… so that I can get a hold to you to talk to you about tomorrow and where we should meet up and…yeah…"

I gave him a gently smile and picked up a post-it from the pad that was stuck on the fridge along with a pen from the drawer before I quickly scribbled down my number and handed it to him. "Let me know where to meet you guys and I would be happy to put any questions you or your pack has to rest and to ensure you guys that I am no threat to you or the humans in the area."

"Thanks," he nodded, looking down at the number on the paper before following me as I headed back towards the living room.

Chapter 15
(Isabella's POV)

It wasn't long after my talk with Jacob that he and Billy left to go back to the reservation. I knew that Jasper was already upstairs in my bedroom waiting for me and I knew that Jacob knew it, as well. Towards the end, he kept looking at the ceiling or at the stair case shaking slightly, but he surprised me by not phasing in the house or in front of Charlie. He had very good control for a Wolf Shifter.

Charlie helped me straighten things up in the living room and kitchen after our guests left. I kept insisting that I could do it myself and that he didn't have to, but he was a stubborn fellow. He was persistent in the fact they were his guests and that they were the ones who made the mess, so he should at the very least help clean up after himself. I relented and we both managed to get it done together, though, there really wasn't much that needed to be cleaned up.

I let out a sigh of satisfaction as I looked on over the now clean living room with my hands on my hips and a small smile on my face. I looked over toward Charlie who had just finished straightening up the last of the pillows on the couch and turned to face me.

"Thank you for your help, Charlie." I smiled at him.

He leaned back with his hands on his lower back, stretching his spine out from leaning over for so long. "Not a problem, Bells." He groaned before straightening up and sighing in relief. He looked over at the clock, which read ten-thirty and let out a breath. "Well, it's gettin' late and I have an early shift down at the station tomorrow morning, so I'm going to get to bed." He told me as he approached me and kissed my forehead as if he really was my own father.

I couldn't help but smile widely at that. "Alright, Charlie. Sleep well and I'll see you tomorrow." It was Saturday tomorrow, so there was no school and I was grateful for that. I knew that I had a long night ahead of me and the last thing that I needed was to have to go to school completely sidetracked the next day. It had nothing to do with the fact that I would be over tired, because Angels don't really need all that much sleep, but it still felt good to be well rested.

I followed Charlie up the steps and we separated as we drifted off to our respective rooms. I noticed Jasper immediately lying on my bed with his hands behind his head as he looked up at the ceiling. He had a small smile on his beautiful face and I could only wish that I knew what he was thinking, looking so serine the way that he was.

He looked over and me and gave me a small smile. "Hey."

"Hi," I responded quietly, pushing against my door to close it while leaning on the back. I stayed there as we watched each other, not quite sure what to say to the other one in a position like this, even if he didn't know the half of it yet.

Finally, I knew that I couldn't wait any longer as I approached the bed after locking my door, taking a seat next to my Jasper. I wasn't sure how to start this, but thankfully, I didn't have to as Jasper started it for the both of us breaking the ice.

"Did you have a nice time with your dad and his guests?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, they kind of surprised me though. I didn't realize that there were shape shifters in the area."

"Yeah, I knew that I smelled wet dog around here." He growled under his breath and began to look me over for injuries, though he did it with his eyes and sense of smell rather than his hands. He clearly didn't want to make me uncomfortable by checking me over the way that his mating instincts were screaming him to.

"It's ok, Jasper. I'm fine." I reassured him, still keeping our hands to ourselves.

"I know, I can tell." He answered before a scowl formed on his lips. "Though, the one that was here seems to have a thing for you."

"Really?" I asked. "I guess I wasn't paying attention. He was a nice enough guy though and had a certain appeal. Though, he is a little on the younger side, regardless of the fact that he looks around twenty six." I mentioned casually. "It must be something in the water down at the reservation." I winked causing Jasper to laugh. "But really, he said that his pack brothers would want to meet me, so I gave him my number and we are supposed to meet up sometime tomorrow. I guess they were uneasy with the company I keep." I narrowed my eyes at him watching as he grinned saucily before getting serious.

"It shouldn't be any of their business what company you keep. They have their territory, we have ours. As long as we follow the aspects of the treaty, I don't see where any of this would concern them." He grumbled.

I couldn't help, but to touch his arm like I used to in order to help calm him. "Shh… I'm not worried about it. I'm the first supernatural creature that they have met outside yourselves and the pack." A slow smile started to spread across my face as I remembered the confusion and befuddlement on the young shape shifter's face as he tried to figure out what I could possibly be.

"What?" He asked intrigued. It was one of the many things that I loved about him; when he had a conversation with me, he always paid attention one hundred percent. He even seemed captivated by the words at I spoke as we talked.

"Nothing," I shook my head as I answered. "I was just remembering the look on his face when he confronted me about what I was in the kitchen. The smell of vampire was throwing them off along with my other supernatural features.

He shrugged. "I guess if I was him and I had just come across you for my first time, I was be a little more than confused as well."

"I guess you're right." I smiled.

A round of silence minced between us before Jasper spoke again. "Alice moved my things out of our bedroom and into the guest room connected to my study." He announced.

My hand flew up to my lips and I looked at him with concern no doubt in my eyes. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" I paused before slowly speaking. "It isn't anything that I did, is it?"

His lips quirked up into a smile and he bravely reached over, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ears. "No, it's not because of anything you did." He answered. "It was just… time."

I looked down, feeling conflicted in my emotions. I wanted to be happy, but I knew that he loved Alice and she was a lovely girl who loved him as well. It wasn't fair for me to be happy for the failure of their marriage.

"We were never true mates, anyway," Jasper went on to say. "We were more of companions that spent time together until our other halves came around."

I swallowed thickly as I looked up into the beautiful golden eyes of the vampire next to me. "And have you found her yet?"

He continued to stare back, his eyes sparkling from the moonlight that happened to shine through my window through the leaves of the spruce tree. "You tell me," He answered quietly.

I sucked in a breath, not sure what to say yet. Luckily, I didn't have to say anything, because before I realized what was happening, he had begun to slowly lean forward, his eyes flickering down as if asking for permission. I answered him by moving forward myself, meeting him in the middle as our lips brushed up against each other in a sensual kiss that made my entire body sing. His tongue brushed against my bottom lip, begging for entrance that I greedily gave him before the both of them began to dance in the world's most oldest, sensual dance. I swore that I saw fireworks and my entire body began to tingle, just like it did before when we were tp.

Finally, we pulled back and looked into each other's eyes that were sparkling with emotion. I didn't know what to say after that as I gave him a small smile and ducked from under my eye lashes as I played with the hem of my sheets.

"So," he began, "you said that you knew me when I was a… Angel?" He asked hesitantly.

I gnawed on my bottom lip as I deliberated how to answer this question as delicately as I could and nodded. "Yes, I did." I answered keeping it as cryptic as possible, wanting to ease him into it as carefully as I could.

"Who was I?"

I looked down into my lap for a moment before looking back up at him. "Do you remember the story that I told you about my mate that God called Ares?" I asked. He growled under his breath but nodded. "He was you."

A/N: Cliff Hanger! Hehe! I know that this chapter was a bit on the shorter side, but I hope that you liked it either way! What did you think about the kiss that Bella and Jasper finally shared again? How do you think their conversation will end? Review!
