Chapter 7: Finding Bella
Jasper knew just what he was going to do that night. He had told his family that he was going hunting because he felt their emotions over-riding his thoughts. It was true but he had other things on his mind.
Bella. She was an unknown factor. Why would she be visiting? When had the Volturi made house calls? That made no sense.
He had wanted to get Carlisle alone to talk about the woman but it would have alerted Edward or worse alert Alice. Esme would only tell him not worry.
Jasper felt worried but knew that Esme would try to calm him down with her motherly ways. Waiting would take too long. Another question popped into his skull. Why only send one vampire?
Getting no answers on his own, he decided to go to the Seattle airport to search the flights coming in to Seattle from Phoenix. There were several every day but he knew a vampire when he saw one. Immediately, he used his car to travel to the Seattle airport. It took hours to get there by car because it was 'that time' of the day.
When he finally arrived, he was so excited to track any vampire in the area. In his mind, driving to the airport by car took forever. Who knew how horrible Washington drivers where going to be that day? In some areas, he wondered who would give them driver's licenses.
The traffic was going slow again. There had to be another traffic jam. The four lanes of traffic crept along only a slight bit faster than watching paint dry.
He was astounded that he even made it to the airport.
At the airport, he was free to look up the fight. He had taken so long that he wondered if he would even meet Bella.
He had not needed to wonder though; the moment their eyes met, there was a connection. He watched as a female vampire told a man that she was with to wait for her. She had to go to the rest room.
Jasper could not help himself but to fallow her. She led him away from the man down the hallway until she was out of range of the man.
No one else in the world mattered to him at that moment. Her body called to him in a way he could not place. Longing? Lust? For once, he was unable to understand the emotion racing though his body.
Jasper followed her; his curiosity peeking with what she would have to tell him.
Bella waited for the vampire to approach her. Only then, had she pulled out his photo and showed it to him. "Jasper Hale. Fallowing me?"
That was fast. He had found her. "I am only looking out for my family's best interests. Now, that I have seen you I don't know what they have to fear in such a delicate flower like yourself."
"Well, then. You will not mind me visiting. This delicate flower is in need of some tending would you be the vampire to attend to me." Ha, that would shut him up. Bella was pleased with herself for thinking of that line. It reminded her of that Batman film with the female villain Poison Ivy.
He wondered if she was coming on to him or she had watched that Batman film too many times. If she started to try to kill him with a single kiss, he would know it was the second. He remembered that Emmett had told him that the second kiss was the antidote. "I am sure that many a man has miss-stepped his boundaries to get lost in your garden."
Not working, Bella warned herself. "I am sure you have knowledge of such things. I wonder where your agricultural accomplishments lay, Jasper."
"Careful, Bella, I would not want to show you such talents here in present company." The vampire needed to be put in her place but his mind began to think that her place was in his arms.
Bella could tell that his emotions had changed toward her. "Good night to you. Unless you wish to see more of me, later." She would not mind some company but she had little time to play around with some horny vampire.
He wondered if that was an invitation. Jasper knew how to slip out of his home. It would not take long to find her. "Later. I will see you, later. Leave a light on for me."
Bella watched him go. If she were human, she would be blushing like mad. However, she knew that game. She would have sex with him, soon. He would ignore her. Bella felt like such a slut but she had not liked the feeling of being alone.
Besides, he had approached her. Jasper had not demanded sex from her. He had not said anything about sex. However, that was what there talk was all about; there was not a never-ending vow of love attached to his statements.
She felt as if she could slap herself. Where were those thoughts coming from anyway? Bella never thought that way in the past. One vampire showed up and showed interest in her that was not unheard of in her lifetime, Bella argued that point with herself.
What was this feeling that she was having for Jasper? Once, she had sex with him Bella hoped that those feelings would fade so that she could get her assignment over with right away.
New plan, Bella told herself.
1. Make nice with her human dad.
2. Hunting with Carlisle Cullen.
3. Have sex with Jasper Hale.
4. Leave town.
That sounded like the perfect plan. What could go wrong?
