Bella POV
Jasper and I are meeting with our wedding planner today and we both have quite a running list of likes and dislikes. We knew what we wanted and in my opinion that made her job way easier. I was leaving right after work and meeting Jasper there so not to raise any flags at work leaving with the namesake and all. As I packed my things to get ready to leave at five o'clock Mr. James bellowed from his office " can you come in here please." It sounded like a question but I know from experience that it had been bit out between his teeth. As I move towards his door I steal myself for the ass chewing I am bound to receive for something else that is not my fault."Yes sir" I say as sweetly as possible. "Why can't you do anything to my satisfaction I found at least 5 missed errors in this contract." He threw it in my direction and I refused to flinch. I turn and walked out instead of screaming at him I had to go meet my wedding planner and fiancé in 20 min across town I did not have time for his bullshit. I grabbed my bag off my desk and walked to the elevator about the time I saw him clear his door.
I smiled on the way to Giana's because I know when I go into more he maybe maroon in the face he is so angry but that is okay because I am not a dog that he can step on. We pull up to Giana's about 25 minutes later I can see Jasper standing outside pacing and pulling at his jacket cuffs. As the car stops Jasper yanks open the door and sighs "Shit woman you scared the life out of me." I look at him a little taken a back at what has garnered such a reaction from a seemingly calm man. "What is wrong Jasper ? I came right from work?" I grabbed his hand that he had held out and squeezed it sightly trying my best to reassure him. He looked startled as we walked inside but he held my hand steadfast. We were seated in a nice office a bit bland but clean a photo of a beautiful dark haired Italian girl in a photo on the desk infant of us. Seconds later the exact girl from the photo entered the room and quickly rounded the desk quickly. Hand thrust in my directly " Hello Ms. Swan I am Giana Bunci." She said nothing to Jasper which means that they have already be introduced. We spent the next hour and a half going over our requirements for the wedding and in the end Giana had made the comment that really all she had to do was logistics we knew what we wanted.
Jasper and I had a nice quiet dinner at his house which as always was sweet and very candid. I don't think that I could have picked a better man to marry honestly he was caring and sweet to me and I think I will end of loving him like crazy. Maybe I already do, the rational side of me says thats not possible but of all the marriages and husbands in all the world we will work we have no other choice. Jasper takes me home and kisses me on the lips quick and simple and smiles as he pulls back. "Good Night ."
The next morning as I got ready for work I had a sinking feeling in my stomach, I figured it was because of the situation that would be waiting for me when I showed up at work. On the way up in the elevator I had to give myself a pep talk and the steeled myself for hurricane Drew that was bound to meet me at my desk. As I walk in I am getting odd looks which only makes me walk faster I get to my desk and there is someone else sitting in my chair I look oddly at her wondering why in the hell she is in my seat. "Yes, ma'am can I help you?" She said with a bit of steak to her voice. "I am Isabella this is my desk." I said a bit bitchy which is not unlike me on occasion but not her fault really. "Oh asked me to tell you to come right in when you arrived, Sorry" She blushed a bit at the end. I turn on my heel and marched into his office knowing my fate now and ready for the fight.
"Oh Ms. Swan nice of you to come back to work." He said in his high and mighty voice with a smirk. "Yes well you have no job anymore Isabella the boss man can not call and save you this time. NO he can't you little girl are FIRED." He yelled the end and I smiled. "You do not know me do you Drew I don't need your entry level shit job I took it for something to pass my time but I am getting married to the man who owns this company so we will see who loses this huh." I didn't yell at all my voice did not even waiver I blew him a kiss turned on my heal and walked out like I was walking on a runway. I got back into the elevator on way up the top floor I was going to ask what the hell Drew was talking about with the big boss saving my ass.
I got off on the top floor there was only a few offices on this floor so when the elevator announced my arrival the receptionist at the desk looked up. "Can I help you ma'am?" I walked right by her which may or may not have made me an asshole but I am pissed off and ready to cry. I threw Jasper's office door open and felt like an idiot afterwards because he had a conference table full of men in three piece Armani suits. Jasper turned when the door hit the wall and was standing as soon as he saw me. "Excuse me gentleman this is my beautiful fiancé and I think she needs me." He walked toward me and grabbed me pulling me against his body whispering me in my ear "Are you okay Darlin'?" I nodded my head and whimpered trying to hold off the tears as his affection broke the wall that the anger had built. "Gentlemen we are going to have to go for the day, so that I can deal with whoever upset my fiancé this way I will send in my secretary to transcribe the rest of the meeting and I will be in contact with all soon." We walked out of his office hand in hand me tucked into Jasper's warm side he stopped at the ginger woman's desk to give her instructions.
Jasper POV
As I sit in my office looking at a photo of the man who had been photographed on more than 25 times in the same area as Bella and with my life and the people that I have associations with there is no such thing as coincidence. He was following Bella and I wanted to know why. I had made calls to find out who he was and now I had a name but he had no address in Chicago only in New York. This made me worry that he had came to Chicago for Bella and that made him a treat in my eyes. I would have to deal with him but he is squirrelly and was good at avoiding my guys so this would be tricky but when I got him he would be eliminated. i looked down at my vibrating phone and smiled at the text that blinked on the phone. "Looking forward to our shindig tonight after this you can't deny I am yours."
Bella's message made me smile, come to think of it I had been smiling a lot since Thanksgiving. She made life light honestly all the shit I had to deal with everything I did her smile and simple messages made me happy. I feel such pride in the fact that she admits that she is mine and that she is proud of that, she had clung to my side the day that Drew and her had their fight she had needed my strength and even sought it out. I got up from my desk ready to go pick Bella up so that we could get to our party. We walked into the restaurant hand and hand Bella looked amazing in a red cocktail dress and black sky high shoes and I really could wait to make her mine so that I could have all of her. We had a blast, drank to much and didn't listen to a bit of the "marriage advice" that every married couple had given us.
We got in the car at the end of the night and it all felt real that her and I were in love and would be together forever, maybe that was reality that we would be in love and marriage for us was forever. We got to my pent house and as we got in the door and I grabbed Bella and lifted her chin and sealed my lips over hers. Slowly the kiss evolved and before I realized that we were getting out of hand I pulled back, Bella and I were both panting she laughed as she looked away. I held her chin and kissed her lips once again and smiled at her "lets go to bed Darlin." Her eyes went wide "Oh no cowboy I may not be a virgin but that will be waiting until we are married we can't start out on the wrong foot." I laughed "Nope you don't get me till you say I do. No let's get in bed so I can hold you."
