Chapter 32

After Aro left, Carlisle and Jasper were led back into the castle to get cleaned up. They all had been given separate rooms to bathe and dress. These rooms were nice, unlike the room in the tower. They were decorated lavishly and felt very inviting, like those of a fine hotel. Jasper took his clothes from his room and then walked back down the hall to find Bella's room. He didn't want to leave her alone for a minute. He was worried for her safety, but also, he needed to be close to her to calm himself.

He found her in the shower and quickly joined her. He washed her under the scalding hot spray, every inch of her body, worshipping her, and then sent her off to get dressed. After Jasper had finished cleaning up, he got out of the shower and was drying himself off when he felt Bella lusting after him. He looked up and saw her peeking in at him through a crack in the door.

"If you keep that up we are going to miss our flight out of here, darlin'." Jasper chuckled.

Bella bit her lip, turned from the door, and went to sit on the bed. When Jasper made his way out of the bathroom he found her half dressed, looking through some documents that Alice had made for them. When Bella had opened the packet she had found ID's, birth certificates, social security cards, and a large amount of cash. She couldn't stop smiling as she stared at her new license.

"Isabella Whitlock," she said out loud as she handed Jasper the small piece of plastic.

"I like the sound of that." Jasper purred. "I'd like it if we could get married one day."

"Apparently we already are." Bella laughed and handed Jasper a marriage certificate that she had found in the stack of documents.

"I mean it Bella. I'd like to marry you. To see you walk towards me in a white dress, and for us to declare our love for one another to whoever is listening." Jasper embraced Bella and kissed her sweetly.

"That's so romantic Jasper." Bella smiled into his chest. "I'd love that."

Jasper felt warm as he picked up his mate and swung her around. "You make me so happy, darlin'."

There was a knock on the door. Some of Alice's assistants had come to dress Bella. Jasper took his clothes and went into the bathroom to get dressed, while the assistants did their job.

When Jasper came out, he saw Bella had put on a beautiful light blue dress. He noticed that her dress was the exact same color as his shirt. "We match." He said as he walked over to Bella and the two assistant vampires that were fixing Bella's hair and makeup.

One of the assistants looked up at Jasper and warned. "Alice said you are not to tear this dress, or there will be hell to pay."

Jasper put his hands up in surrender. "Fine, fine, I'm not going to touch it." Jasper backed up and sat on the bed

Bella liked the outfit that Jasper was wearing. He looked like he had just walked off of the pages of a fashion magazine. As her eyes roamed up his long legs covered by khaki pants, then to the light blue v-neck knit shirt that hugged his muscles in all the right places, she began to purr.

Jasper smiled at her winked.

The two assistants just clicked their tongues and shook their heads.

When Bella was finally ready they went out into the hall and found Carlisle. Alice had given them all new luggage filled with new clothes, and she had seen them off as they boarded the private jet that would take them back to America.

The flight back was uncomfortable for Jasper. He didn't like being in an airplane, but there was something else that bothered him during the flight; warring emotions. He knew for sure that Carlisle and Bella were keeping something from him. He could feel each of them worrying over something the whole way back.

Finally, after the flight had landed in a remote field and they had started the hour long drive towards Carlisle's property, Jasper asked. "What is going on with you two?"

Carlisle looked to Bella for permission. He wasn't sure if Jasper knew anything about her previous life with his family. Bella wouldn't answer Carlisle's gaze. She just looked at her feet, uncomfortable and unable to speak.

Carlisle cleared his throat and said, "I'm taking you to one of my properties that I haven't used in years. You two may stay there as long as you like, but I would warn you, if you stay there too long you may eventually have company. Carlisle looked at Bella through the rear view mirror as he spoke, willing her to say something, to give him a signal that it would be alright to bring up the topic that they had been avoiding.

Jasper felt Bella's emotions go nuts. "What's going on, Honey? You can tell me anything."

Bella took a deep breath. "Carlisle's son Edward used to be my boyfriend. In my other reality he left me, and in this reality he left me."

"In this reality he is still in love with her, Jasper." Carlisle stated. "He thinks she is his mate, but he would not change her, instead he left her and ran off to sulk; to where I'm not sure. He might call us once a month. He is a mind reader, Jasper. If he comes home to visit, and I accidentally think of Bella, he will know."

Jasper was stunned to silence hearing about Bella's romantic past with another vampire. He wanted to ask her so many questions, but that would have to wait until they were alone.

"I'm sorry Bella." Carlisle continued. "I won't be able to invite you to see my family. I have to keep you a secret from them. I can't risk Edward knowing you are immortal, or knowing where you are because he could come and look for you. When two male vampires decide on the same female as a mate, it usually ends in a fight to the death. I would hate for it to come to that, Edward or Jasper dying fighting over you.

Bella shuddered at the thought. She had not realized how serious the situation was. "I understand Carlisle; we won't stay in your house for very long."

Jasper couldn't help but wonder if Bella's feelings of worry were for him or for Edward.
