AN: This is my first story so I'm not really used to writing. My story is most likely going to stay in Bella's point of view. Mainly because it's easier for me to imagine what she feels. Thanks for the reviews. They've helped me so far. By the way I'm not going to mention Bella's monthly problem so just assume she found a way to deal with it.

Chapter 8

A month had passed by in a flash. Jasper had become my new world. He didn't have problems getting physically close to me now. I noticed he touched me more often as more time went by. I had also taken to touching him more too. He liked it from what I could tell. Confidence had risen up within both of us.

"Jasper?" I said.

"Yeah."

" Why do you think the Cullen's haven't found us yet?" I asked suddenly.

" Alice's visions might be able to see us but they don't always let her know the exact location." "She also can't see the werewolves so she might be too close to them."

It sounded reasonable. Of course I had thought of that before but Jasper had confirmed my theory.

"Don't worry Bella, none of our vampily will give up searching for us." He said grinning at me. Vampily. What a perfect word to describe them. Also a amusing inside joke for people in the know.

"I know. Esme and Carlisle would never leave us. They know you would survive a sinking ship." My thoughts had reassured me of that fact many times since we had been here.

"I just hope they think enough of my character that they realize I would save you." He voice was sad and heavily accented. Jasper often slipped deeper into his southern accent when emotional.

My emotions matched his. Empathy had reminded him that his vampily thought of him as weaker in self control. His control hadn't slipped at all. Golden eyes with blue flecks never darkened much.

The rapidly changing eye color had amazed Jasper and I. The only reason that made sense was that he was hunting different. Sea creatures were different from land animals. They also tasted more appealing to him. His favorite was shark.

Predators always tasted better to vampires. At least that was what he told me.

"Do you think your eye color will eventually change fully into blue?"

"I hope so." "When I was human my eyes were blue." "Think of the benefits this would have on all vegetarians." He said eyes bright and happy again.

His human eyes had been blue. That fit him perfectly. If his eyes changed blue this could mean the Cullen's would fit in better in the human world they so loved.

Jasper's eyes became more captivating the bluer they got. I found myself frequently drawn closer to him the more I stared. Leaning in closer in a move to kiss him.

His beautiful eyes got a smoldering look in them each time it happened. "What are you thinking about so intensely?" Jasper asked in a plainly amused yet curious voice.

"Nothing." I squeaked out blushing madly. He had caught me thinking about kissing him. My feelings for him kept growing. A little voice in my head warned me that I was falling for him.

I was scared by that because I thought it might be too late for me. My beating heart was already within centimeters of his own non moving one.

My whole self was blown open for him. If he returned my feelings even in the slightest bit I knew my own would crash completely into him.

Jasper's whole being was always cautious when I contemplated my growing romantic love for him.

I wanted and longed for him in the worse way. My feelings may have seemed fast to anyone one else but we spent almost 24/7 within each others company.

It was unavoidable to me that I would feel this way. Of course I would, he was an amazing person and very caring. He gathered and hunted food for me. Had brought me back and forth through the jungle whenever I wanted.

Jasper talked to me like an equal and made me feel safe. When he hugged me and carried me, I can't describe how my body reacted to his.

"Bella." He groaned out, my name rolled sensually from his full lips.

A brief shock went through my heart, making the muscle pound furiously. Our seated bodies drifted closer. My eyes were locked onto every piece of him I could see.

I stopped two inches from his face, breath hitching. He closed the distance.

Jasper's soft yet firm lips pressed against mine. Electric heat lit up my entire being. My heart wanted to pound out of my chest.

Jasper wasn't pulling back, he was drawing me closer. Ours mouths moving together. The fullness of my emotions slamming into me. He dragged his lips from mine. Both of us panting almost in tandem. I knew then, It was in every cell in my body.

"I love you."
