~I hope you guys enjoy this chapter…the lyrics don't belong to me, they belong to The Veronicas and their song "Untouched" has been stuck in my head this past week! Lol, Enjoy~

Chapter 13: Two Weeks

~I feel so untouched, and I want you so much that I just can't just resist you, it's not enough to say that I miss you~

~Natalia~

The past two months are unlike anything I have ever experienced. Which, there's a part of me that feels that I shouldn't be saying that. Jasper and I have only officially been together for two months but I feel like it's been years. He is convinced that I am his soul mate and I can't really argue with him. However, it's still a little freaky to think that at seventeen, I have found the man of my dreams…the person who I'm going to be with the rest of my life. He keeps telling me that he waited a very long time to find the type of love he has found with me…and he has no intentions of letting me go, ever. I can't help but melt and get nervous sometimes though when he looks at me. I jokingly call it his "imprint" look. That look as if I'm the only person in the room and he's about to jump in front of a train for the sake of saving me.

But as of now, things are good. Well, minus the fact that I haven't gotten to spend much time with Jasper for almost the past two weeks. I only really have gotten to talk with him during history and occasionally on the phone. It was finals this past week and I was a nervous wreck. It was actually Jasper's idea to stop spending so much time together so that I could study. And, I foolishly agreed to it. But, it got him some points in Carlisle's book. He wanted me to do good in school…because according to him, I needed to get into college "the old fashioned way…" instead of having my parents donate an insane amount of money to a university. I hadn't even thought about it like that to be honest. But, apparently they have done that for Edward. Not like he needed that, he was so smart. He worked me so hard when it came to studying for our Science final. But, it worked because I aced it! Actually, I passed all of my finals…with pretty good grades I might add. So now, here I was, a day before Christmas, waiting for Jasper to come to my house. Finally! Edward and Bella have gone off somewhere again as well. They seem to be very smitten with one another. Which, I cannot complain. I knew Edward needed a woman in his life…

As I waited for Jasper, I was up in my room, listening to the radio and tidying things up. I had papers everywhere from studying and there were clothes thrown everywhere as well. In the midst of cleaning, a song came on and I unconsciously started singing aloud to it.

Give me give me give me what you got got
Cause I can't wait wait wait any more more more more
Don't even talk about the consequence
Cause right now you're the only thing that's making any sense to me
And I don't give a damn what they say, what they think think
Cause you're the only one who's on my mind
I'll never ever let you leave me
I'll try to stop time for ever, never wanna hear you say goodbye (bye bye bye)

I feel so untouched
And I want you so much
That I just can't resist you
It's not enough to say that I miss you
I feel so untouched right now
Need you so much somehow
I can't forget you
Been going crazy from the moment I met you

Untouched
And I need you so much

See you, breathe you, I want to be you
Alalalala alalalala
You can take take take take take time time
To live live the way you gotta gotta live your life
Give me give me give me all of you you

The song ended and when I turned around, I about fainted when I saw Jasper standing in my doorway, a smug smile on his face.

"How long have you been standing there?" I looked at him, my hand over my chest, trying to calm down and feeling quite embarrassed. I never sang in front of…well anyone.

"Long enough to hear your beautiful singing voice." I blushed deeply.

"Don't even Jasper…I know I can't sing, you don't have to patronize me…"

"You are actually quite good…" he sighed. "you had an interesting song choice there." He started up again and walked towards me.

"It's a good song." I shrugged and he kissed my forehead.

"I missed you." He laughed.

"I missed you too…obviously." I frowned. His hands were suddenly laced with mine and he pushed me back a little until I noticed as I was against the edge of my bed. He nudged me slightly and I just complied, sitting and eventually his face was over mine, being careful not to place all his weight on me. Because, that wouldn't be good…I wouldn't be able to breathe.

"You know…" he ran his hand along the side of my face "I don't think a song has ever had this type of effect on me." He laughed and I just closed my eyes. What was he getting at?

"Well…" my breathing was a little shaky "I did have to spend nearly two weeks without you constantly at my side…which, let's not forget who's idea that was." I smirked "can you blame me for missing my boyfriend?"

"Remind me to never do it again…" was all he said before he kissed me. I loved the fact that he wasn't always so gentle with me. Because, let's be honest…being gentle all the time was the same as being safe. It was nice though, because he was much stronger than I am so he had the perfect balance.

"Can you please roll over?" I laughed and he stared at me funny but he did it anyways. He did it and I was instantly back in his lap.

"What? It's not like I could move you myself…you got to just go with it Jasper." I smiled, staring into those crazed, beautiful eyes I loved.

"I love you so much…you know that?" he whispered, his hand running up the back of the sweater I was wearing and I sort of jumped back when he did it.

"Did I hurt you?" he asked, concerned.

"No, it was just a little cold." I admitted "I wasn't expecting it.." I sighed.

"Forgive me." He looked at me with his little sad eyed face.

"Okay." I laughed.

"I'm sorry if I got a little carried away there Natalia…you…well you just do things to me." He mumbled.

"What kind of things?" I was sort of afraid to know the answer though.

"You're really going to make me say it?" He looked at me and I stayed silent. "Like you make me want to lose all self control when I'm around you sometimes…"

"Oh, so…you're blaming it on the fact that you're a guy and you just get a little too excited sometimes?" he just frowned at that statement.

"Well, not in that sense Natalia." He corrected me "Maybe in the sense that I just want to…hmm, how do I put this? In the sense that I just want to um, touch you?"

"What!" I choked, my face I'm sure in shock. I backed away slightly from him.

"I think I'm not wording this right."

"Jasper, I know that you love me and I love you too…and yea, you've waited a long time but, I think we just might be moving a little too fast…" I rambled.

"Oh Natalia…" he laughed gently "you think I was talking about sleeping with you? That couldn't be further from the truth." He said. Well, that wasn't very nice of him to say.

"Wait…so now you don't want to be with me like that?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I think you're teenage hormones are getting the best of you Natalia." I didn't answer him, I wanted to hear what he had to say, to make up for this really awkward conversation. "I do admit Natalia, I am attracted to you in that way." He air quoted the word that. "But, you might be surprised that I have the same feelings as you do…I don't want to move too fast with you. Yes, I know I love you and there will never be another one out there for me….but, that doesn't mean I'm automatically ready to be with you in that sense. I sort of want it to be at the right moment…at the right time. For the both of us."

"Really? You're not just saying that to make me feel better are you?"

"Not at all…I have morals too you know. I'll have you know that I have never been with anyone…ever." He stated.

"Oh." I blushed. "That's a pretty long time Jasper…not even when you were human?"

"That I can recall? No. It was pretty strict back then. The only people who slept together were the ones who were married and the overly promiscuous ones. Which, I was neither in my human life."

"That's good to know…but still Jasper, you've been around for a long time…you just never…you know, had a need?" I had no other way to put it.

"Honestly? Not really…sometimes it was hard when I had people's lust rolling off of them and onto me but other than that, no. Because no one had ever come along that made me look twice." He looked at me.

"Aw, so you are saving yourself for me?" I laughed.

"You have a cruel sense of humor." He smirked.

"Sorry, it's something I do when I nervous."

"Well anyways, I just wanted to let you know that the idea of being together like that isn't something that's on my mind at the moment…eventually it will be but, you have nothing to worry about at the moment."

"I'm not worried…I was just a little nervous to be honest. But, now that I see that we're sort of on the same page, I feel better…I just have one question still?"

"You always have one more question…go on." He smiled.

"What did you actually mean then, when you know…you said something about wanting to you know?"

"You mean touch you?" he said simply. I nodded. "Well, I just so happen to love the way that your skin feels against me…it's so warm…you have no idea how wonderful it feels." He leaned forward and placed a cold hand on my cheek. I instinctively leaned into it…regardless of how weird it seemed, it made me feel whole.

"Is that all?" I whispered.

"Yes…I apologize if that isn't a good enough answer…"

"It makes sense to me…" I admitted and leaned in closer to him as he wrapped an arm around me, the two of us leaning against my headboard now.

"Thank God Edward has Bella in his life now…because he'd probably kill you." I smirked.

"We had quite the conversation today didn't we?"

"Yes, yes we did. I wasn't picturing this when I knew you were finally coming over to see me…I figure, I don't know, we'd watch a movie or talk about Christmas or something." I laughed.

"What can I say? Two weeks can truly make a person insane…"

"Especially when the people are addicted to one another…" I sighed, remembering a previous conversation we had.

"Yes, but what a wonderful addiction it is…to be so in love with you Natalia."

"You sure have a way with words…most of the time." Then I remembered. Tonight was Christmas Eve! "Jasper?" I sat up and looked at him.

"What is it love?"

"I wanted to invite you and Rosalie to come over later tonight. Bella I'm sure will be here too. We don't really do anything spectacular but, we all like to be together when Christmas arrives…we open gifts, pretty normal things if you are interested?"

"I think I need a good dose of normal…and I can't imagine being anywhere else tonight. I'll call my sister right now and let her know." He pulled out his cell phone and called Rosalie.

"Rose, it's Jasper..what's all that noise?" he frowned "Shopping again? You're always shopping Rosalie…anyways, I called to let you know that Natalia has invited us to spend Christmas with her and her family…yes, yes that would be fine. No, I already got her one…yes, I suppose you can buy him something. Okay, I'll see you later. Bye Rosalie." He clicked the phone shut and turned his attention back to me.

"She's out shopping again. But, she'll be here later. She's probably going to buy even more gifts now, so good thing she's at the mall." He laughed.

"I'm happy you guys are going to be here…even Bella. If she makes my brother happy then, she's okay in my book I guess."

"I'll have to let her know. Well, my dear…I better get going..."

"What! I got off the bed and followed him. "You just got here Jasper…"

"Shh, it's okay…I need to wrap your Christmas gifts."

"Gifts? Oh…you didn't spend a lot of money did you?" I panicked.

"Money is no object Natalia…and I have every right to buy my girlfriend what I so well please."

"Hmmph." I smirked.

"I'll be back later…at around what time?"

"Carlisle will be back at around eight, so around then I think." He nodded, kissed me one more time and went on his way. I grabbed the gifts that I had bought for everyone and took them downstairs and placed them under the tree. I had even gotten something for Rosalie and Bella…which that was good thinking on my part since I had just invited them.

"What are you doing sweetie?" Esme walked in, she had been working outside in her garden.

"Oh, I was just putting the gifts I bought underneath the tree."

"Did Jasper accept your invitation?"

"Yea…his sisters will be coming too."

"Great!" she clapped her hands together. Esme loved having company over. It gave her an excuse to go all out and decorate the house for whatever occasion there was. "Come on honey, come help me decorate and then I can show you the very cute dress I bought you." She beamed and I just laughed and followed her.

"Christmas is going to be very good this year…I just know it!" she sighed happily. I couldn't help but smile at my adoptive mother. She was so innocent sometimes. I think Christmas must have been her favorite holiday as a human because she always got this glow when Christmas rolled around.

"It just might be…" I sighed and went on way to help her.

It seemed like it was going to be perfect. I would have Jasper…Edward would be with Bella. Carlisle and Esme would be together obviously. Just poor Rosalie would be on her own but…she could hold her own pretty well. She didn't seem like the dependent type.

Things were looking great…

How was it? Reviews are greatly appreciated…thanks!!
