Chapter 7

A week went by pretty quickly. In fact the only reason I knew it had been a week was because Jasper mentioned it. The blond vampire was putting the finishing touches on the cabin at this moment. Wooden shutters were covering the windows and there was an actually door now. In whole the cabin was what people would call picturesque.

This one room cabin would be my first home away from my parents. Jasper and myself would share it of course so really I wasn't alone at all. I wondered how Charlie and Renee would react to me living with a man. Charlie would have a fit but Renee would ask a bunch of embarrassing questions.

Jasper had already started on a new project. He was building furniture. A bed was what he was working on at the moment. It wasn't going to be soft with being made completely by wood. I already had plans to put the four blankets we had to good use. Two as padding so I wouldn't have to sleep on the hard wood directly. Another one was my future pillow and the last is going to be just a regular warmth providing blanket.

Trees stumps for chairs and a table. Various sizes of course. When everything is done and set up it will probably look good enough for me to take a picture.

Jasper was sanding down every piece of the house and what was so far the furniture. The bed looked more like a large bench than a real bed.

If we ever got off this island I knew I wanted to come back to visit. This place had a large space in my heart already. I have been talking with Jasper so much that I fear I might lose my voice. The hot weather dries out my mouth and voice fast.

Drinking water so much was the only thing saving me from that fate. Jasper wouldn't have to deal with that either. Vampires have a lot of advantages over humans. They also have some downsides I.e. bloodlust and the newborn year. One of which doesn't go away.

Jasper was doing amazing with my scent. I told him that he impressed me with his control. I couldn't tell a big difference in his eye color even with how close he sometimes got to me.

We were bonded together from this experience. Neither one of us hated being lost. While it was at times inconvenient, we both didn't have a true need for materials possesions.

The two things we agreed we missed the most from our lives was our family and our books. He read historical books and books dealing with strategy. Jasper was also a chess fan. This didn't surprise me because a lot of fore thinking was involved with playing the game.

My mind spun off into thinking about when he brought me with him to explore the island. It was beautiful. The spring was my favorite of all the sights. The water so clear that you could see the bottom. Flowers lined the whole area and a small but perfect looking waterfall was the most beautiful sight of all.

The rest of the forest was dull in comparison. The beaches didn't hold a candle either. Jasper made many trips there a day to get me fresh water to drink.

I caught Jasper glancing at me every few minutes. "What?" I inquired lips turning up at the corners automatically. He stopped his work and came over. "Want to go swimming at the spring?" He asked sheepishly. My smile became fuller at that. "Of course." I replied. I sprang up from the ground and almost bounced over to the lifeboat.

Luggage had washed up on the beach the other day so we had extra clothes now. One of them had clothes that were my size and it included a bikini. I wasn't fond of them but it was better than nothing.

Poor Jasper was stuck wearing clothes that were a size too small. I got a secret thrill from seeing him in them. Jasper was what Jessica called eye candy. I hated to have to agree with her.

Ten minutes later we were splashing water all over the place. Making small tidal waves and having water fights. We broke out laughing. It was loud and echoed some. I pushed a wave at his laughing form and got some in his mouth. He sputtered out the water. I burst out into new peals of laughter.

"You think that's funny." Jasper said grinning. He crept towards me while I backed away. I turned to swim away from him and he caught me. He lifted me up in his arms then jumped to the deeper end of the medium sized pool. We sunk down in a massive dunk. He kicked to the top immediately.

Jasper released me and I played with his wet hair. His wavy hair was so entrancing with it's many shades of blond. He dragged me back to the shallow end while I was distracted.

The next thing I knew we were laying down on a blanket on our beach. The sun was drying us both of the water that clung to our skin and suits. I closed my eyes and turned to him. He was looking down at me when I reached out and hugged him.

In return his cool arms wrapped around me gently. "Thank you." I blissfully whispered into his shoulder. My eyes didn't open again as my mind was drawn into dreams of the amazing afternoon he had given to me.
