Chapter 10

BPOV

The bell just rang for lunch and I jump out of my seat in my class and run for the door.

I had been bouncing in my seat all day since Jessica told me that Lauren was going to ask out Jasper at lunch. I am still not sure about my feelings toward him, or his feelings towards me for that matter.

Will he was yes to Lauren? Or no like I am hoping?

I haven't had a chance to talk to him all morning because I have not seen him. Is he avoiding me? I think as I enter the cafeteria, totally oblivious that Lauren is sitting across from Jasper at our lunch table, until she grabs Jasper and kisses him on the lips.

What the Hell!

What is Lauren doing? I thought that she was just going to ask him out not kiss him in front of everyone?

And on another note does Jasper like kissing her? I thought he likes me? And now he's kissing Lauren? I got to get out of here I can't stand the idea that he might like kissing that bitch!

I feel so stupid to think that a guy like Jasper could ever like a girl like me like that.

I turned around and hightailed it out of there. It may have been only a few seconds that had passed when I was standing there, but it felt like an eternity.

I ran towards the school parking lot and got into my car, slamming the door behind me.

I sat in my car for who knows how long, wallowing in my sorrow and stupidity.

JPOV

I ran out of the cafeteria and headed to Bella's locker to see if she was there.

She wasn't.

I looked in the library for her.

She wasn't there either.

I ran into Rose and Emmett making out behind the school.

"Hey Rose, have you seen Bella any where?" I asked my sister.

"No I haven't sorry." She said to me, and then she and Emmett went back to making out.

I looked all around school when I decided to check in the school parking lot.

I look at Bella's truck and saw her in there. It looked like she was crying!

Oh no did she see Lauren kissing me in the cafeteria? She has to know that it did not mean anything!

I ran towards her truck and banged on her window. Bella looked up at me and I could see tears on her cheeks.

"Bella open the door." I told her.

"Jasper just leave me alone!" She yelled at me, through her closed window.

"NO! Not until you let me explain for what I think you are crying about." I told her in a soft voice.

"Fine!" she said, opening her car door and steeping out. Then she slammed her door and leaned up against it with her arms crossed looking at me expectantly.

"Okay, so I am guessing that you saw Lauren kissing me in the cafeteria?" I asked her for confirmation.

She nodded her head, not saying a word.

"Okay, well I guess you ran out before I pushed her away and told her that everybody knows that I like you and that even if I didn't I would still not want to be her boyfriend because she is a horrible person?" I asked her.

She looked at me with shock on her face. Finally she said in a whisper, "You really said that to her?"

"Yeah, I did." I said shyly waiting for her to catch on to the part where I said that I liked her.

"Wait...did you say that you like me?" Bella asked, finally she caught up to what I said.

"Yeah, I did." I said quietly.

"So the rumors are true?" She asked me looking up at me through her eye lashes. There was a little blush creeping up on her cheeks.

"Yes, Bella. I have liked you for as long as I could remember, but we were friends and then you were going out with Edward and I wanted to be a good friend to you and be supportive of your choice to date him, so I did not say anything." I said in a rush. Trying to explain myself to Bella.

I also thought that if I went slowly I would wimp out of telling her how I feel.

"Jasper shut up!" Bella told me as she brought her hand up and put it on the back of my neck and started to bring my head down towards hers.

Her lips touched mine and they felt so soft. Nice and warm. I put my hands on her, closer to me as her other hand went in my hair.

She smelt so good like vanilla and strawberries. I can't believe that I am finally kissing the girl of my dreams. And it feels so right for us to be like this.

We stopped the kiss because we needed to breath. Bella looked at me with love in her eyes.

WOW. Does she really feel that strongly for me, already?

"So Bella..." I started, unsure where this leaves us. "So does this mean that you will be my girlfriend?" I asked her. Looking down at the ground. Maybe she might not know how she feels about us or maybe it's too soon.

"Jasper." Bella started as she put her hand under my chin and pulled my face up to make me look at her. "If you want me to be your girlfriend then I will be happy to be your girlfriend." Bella told me.

"Really?" I asked her surprised, even though I probably shouldn't have been after that kiss we had.

"Yes." She said laughing. I am so happy that I kissed her on the lips again and I started to deepen the kiss when someone cleared their throat. We stopped kissing and looked to my left to see Rose and Emmett standing there looking at us.

"Finally, you told her how you feel Jasper!" Rose said to me with a smile on her face.

'Wait, you knew he liked me and didn't tell me Rose?" Bella said

"Well I couldn't tell you Bella. Jasper had to tell you himself." She said to Bella.

"So that's what your cryptic text message was about." Bella said.

"What text message?" I asked Bella.

"Bella here was noise about why you were acting weird lately so she texted me and asked me, but I would not tell her." Rose informed me.

I looked at Bella to see her looking down at the ground and her cheeks were bright red from her blush.

"Oh, Bella what am I going to do with you?" I asked her as I hugged her to me, laughing.

"I don't know." She said at me laughing too, as she put her arms around me too.

Finally everything is as it should be. I am finally with the girl of my dreams.

The girl who I went from being her friend to her boyfriend.
