A/N Ok, consider this to be a warning... this chapter is Lemon fresh!
Chapter Eight. Different agenda
Alice's POV
I was very much about family, we were all very close,and my brothers and I had inherited the first love gene from both our parents. Mom and Dad had met and fell in love in ninth grade and they both knew from the very start they would be together forever. I too knew full well that I had met my Mr Forever and for the very first time I was starting to believe that I might finally be able to have him.
I watched him on the football field as he caught every pass that my brother threw to him. He was tall and slim but very muscular and without doubt the most beautiful man I had ever set eyes on. He was protective of those he loved and I noticed he checked on where his sisters were at regular intervals and he even caught my gaze a couple of times. I would have thought that, that was just wishful thinking, if not for what had happened at the end of half time, I thought back over what had happened.
I was making my way back to the lockers room when some of the guys were messing around and smashed into me. I was slammed into the wall and two of them landed on top of me on the floor, they were crushing me. Suddenly their weight left me as they were yanked off me and flung across the hall.
"Damn you, you Neanderthals... Alice, are you okay?" Jasper had asked worriedly, kneeling down beside me and putting his arm around me to help me up.
"I think, I'll live." I'd said and he'd chuckled.
"Then allow me to escort you to your destination." He'd said, taking my left hand in his left hand and encircling my waist with his right, he walked with me along the hallway to the door to the girls locker room. Rosalie stood in the doorway waiting for me, I watch as her eyes widened and a smug grin spread across her face.
"Well aren't you the knight in shining armour." She'd said.
"Are you sure that you aren't hurt Alice?" He'd asked.
"Yes I'm fine, thank you for your help Jasper." I'd said smiling up at him.
"It was my pleasure, ma'am." He'd said smiling back, okay maybe I was a little hurt, well, my legs were suddenly the consistency of jello so I was having a little trouble staying upright. Despite the fact that I was almost at the door his arm was still tightly wrapped around my waist and I was still locked in his gaze, quite unable to move, like a rabbit caught under the spell of on coming headlights.
"Thanks again." I'd said as I grudgingly pulled away from him, I fluttered my eyelids at him, more to try and break his spell over me than to try and be seductive, although that thought did cross my mind too. What was this magic that the Hale's/Swan had over my family, whatever it was, it was intoxicating and I didn't want it to stop.
"Anytime." He'd replied and as I walked through the locker room door I turned and he was just standing there staring at me, I was locked in his gaze again and was not freed from them until the door closed between us.
"Alice... Alice!" Rose had called trying to drag me from my dazed state. "I think you ought to know that Jazz was asking about you last night." She'd said, I could have passed out and my heart was still pounding in my chest from him touching me.
But her words immediately got my attention, "Oh, really." I'd said in passing trying my best to seem nonchalant, I'm not sure I succeeded, she could probably hear my heart, it was so loud.
"Yeah, I think he is seriously in to you." She'd said, grinning at me, I must have looked like an idiot, I was so busy trying not to jump up and down squealing that I forgot to control my face.
~F~
A good hour had past since then and I could still feel the warmth from his hot hand on my hip bone and I was still hard pressed not to run around the field screaming his name. Though I had been linking his name with mine for the last five months. Mrs Jasper Cullen-Hale, Mrs Jasper Hale-Cullen, But then, as long as I got to be Mrs Jasper Hale one day I didn't care how it was written.
Oh he is my god I thought, he was running down the field towards me right now, should I move out of the way or just let him crash right into me? I knew he'd be aiming to get out of bounds to stop the clock and he was coming straight for me. He was shoved out of bounds by two of Port Angeles defence, just feet from where I stood, he jumped back to his feet and looked straight at me. He winked at me then ran back onto the field, Jasper winked... at me? I looked around and behind me just in case, no, I was several feet from anyone, it had to be me that he winked at. I could feel my heart fluttering like a half crazed butterfly, as it was I struggled to keep my head for the rest of the game.
We won obviously, mostly because of my brothers and hopefully my new man, though how I was going to work up the courage to talk to him I had no idea, he always seemed shy and quiet, maybe I was too excitable for a calm person?
I ran onto the field with everyone as soon as final whistle blew, Rose ran straight into the arms of Emmett which was really sweet. I was proud to say that that was mostly my doing, as after Rose had said that Jasper was interested in me, I had told her how much Emmett was into her. After that I had got them together and formally introduced them to each other, though looking at them right now, it was obvious that they adored each other. Both being very openly passionate people they were not worried about anyone or everyone watching their tonsil hockey game.
I spotted Bella running straight to Edward, I was so happy that they had finally found each other, they both deserved so much happiness and hopefully now they would find it together. As I got close to them, Jasper appeared just ahead of me and I looked at his tight buns in those tight pants, its a miracle I didn't drool at the sight, I found myself licking my lips just in case.
"Your Mom and Dad are heading home, they said they would see us all later, but not too late, well done... Um, oh yes and no alcohol." Bella said to Edward as Jasper and I reached them.
"Okay, I think I heard the whole of that message, the last part was unclear, but it can't have been anything important otherwise they would have come and told me themselves." Edward said grinning at her. "Did you catch what your sister said Jazz?" He asked.
"Not the last part." Jasper said laughing, I noted just how dreamy his laugh was.
"You're not going to get drunk are you Jasper?" I asked him, as a way to start a conversation with him.
"Would it bother you if I did?" He asked, I could feel my knees weakening at the sound of his voice in my ear, with all the noise from the crowd he was having to lean down close to me to talk, he was still pumped with excitement from the game and the feel of his hot breath on my cheek made me catch my breath.
"Well I don't know... I barely know you, I am not sure what I would do if you were too drunk to realise where you were and you climb into my bed tonight instead of your own." I said, but I really knew exactly what I would try and do if he did, the thought of it made me all quivery and I had to fight hard to hide the smile that had began to spread across my face.
"Would that bother you if I did?" He asked, I think it would bother me more if you didn't actually.
"That would depend on how drunk you are, you maybe too drunk to take advantage of me." I said, then I held my breath waiting for his response.
"Then I wont get too drunk and I will have to spend the rest of the night getting to know you so you wont be worried about hardly knowing me when I climb into your bed." He whispered and my mouth fell open, I was shocked at his words, yes shock, but also extremely pleased. He put his arm around my shoulder and led me into the gym. I stared at his hand wrapped around my shoulder and I was the one who was drunk, a least that is how I felt.
I walked into the gym with a huge grin on my face, I saw with glee the expression on the faces of the other girls in the squad, I was all ready to do a victory dance. I had Jasper Hales arm wrapped around my shoulders, the best looking guy on the planet. I was all but hyperventilating I was on top of the world and it had nothing at all to do with our team winning the game.
He walked straight through the gym passed all the celebrations and out to the quieter hallway, he released his hold on me and backed me up to the wall, then leaning down over me he said.
"Well Miss Cullen, what can I tell you to put your mind at rest?"
I swallowed hard, "Firstly, if you had to rate me on a scale of one to ten on how much you like me, what score would you give me?" I asked him, he smiled crookedly at me, it made my heart race again.
"Ten..." He said, "Thousand that is... at the very least."
I gasped but quickly regained control of my spinning head, "and on that same scale if you had to rate how much you wanted to kiss me right now, what would that score be?" I asked.
He leaned in closer and whispered in my ear. "Ten... million, or there abouts." He said, he was so close to my ear that I could feel his lips quiver as he spoke. "And what about you Alice? How would you score me on both of those questions?" He asked.
I was quivering so much, I really wasn't sure if I could speak, he pulled away from me enough to see my face when I didn't speak and raised an eyebrow waiting for an answer.
"Exactly the same." I said breathily, smiling shyly at him.
"Good," he said and he lifted me clean off the floor and up into his arms.
I know I'm really short and that he is really tall, but that didn't seem to bother him at all. He held me against his chest with just one arm and with the other hand he lifted my chin until I met his gaze. "And how would you feel about me testing that theory?" He asked, moving in closer.
As his lips moved towards mine, he stared into my eyes waiting for me to answer, I didn't, I was far passed the ability to speak or form any kind of words. I saw his full soft lips less than an inch from mine and I wanted to kiss him so badly that I closed the gap between us and pushed my lips to his.
With my back to the wall, his arms were wrapped around me and our lips were locked, I was only vaguely aware of people walking by. I don't remember coming up for air, but he didn't seem to want to stop kissing me either, I threw my arms around his neck and I knotted my fingers into his wavy blond locks. I wrapped my legs around him, I didn't care when his one hand began to creep under my top, and his other hand moved to my butt and he lifted me up a little higher. His hand stayed under my skirt, I wanted his hands all over me, but most of all I wanted to not be here, at school.
I grudgingly came up for air, "Should we head back to your old place, so that you can collect some overnight things?" I asked him.
"Sure," he said, "Though I have everything I need to get me through the night, right here." he said squeezing me against his muscular chest.
I couldn't help but giggle euphorically when he said that, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning, Santa had brought me just what I always wanted.
Okay I was a fairly chatty person with people I knew, but with Jasper I didn't feel like that, I never really needed to say anything. It was like we already knew what we wanted from each other without speaking, almost instinctual. Like right now I did not want him to put me down to walk out and find Rose and he never attempted to put me down. He bent down and I picked up his helmet and he moved his hands to a more appropriate positions, what with there teachers being present. I wondered if he knew what I wanted from him right now? If he knew that after five months of dreaming and fantasizing about him, that I wanted him so badly right now that it felt like I couldn't breathe. I spotted Emm and Rose, they were still outside and still in pretty much the same position I'd seen them in earlier, except to my shock everyone could clearly see Emm's hand was inside Rose's spankies, I was guessing Jazz wouldn't like that too much.
"Oi, we have to leave now." Jasper said to them. Emmett tried to brush us away with his hand. "I said now!" Jasper insisted, almost dragging Emmett along.
"What's the rush?" Rosalie demanded when Emmett finally allowed her to come up for air, then she saw me wrapped around Jasper. "Oh... I see." She said, but they complied and we all pretty much rushed to Jasper car.
Emm climbed into the back seat with Rose and immediately reattached his lips to hers, Jasper started the car and pulled out of the lot in a hurry. He looked over at me often as he drove, and gave me a warm smile, then he reached over and took my hand, he placed it on his leg and wrapped his big warm hand around it. We arrived at his old house a lot quicker than I would have expected and I intended to just wait in the car. But he got out and walked to my door, he opened it and held out his hand to help me out.
"I don't mind waiting here, if you'd prefer." I said.
"I wouldn't dream of it." He replied.
We walked to the house hand in hand, I had been here on many occasions and knew the house well, I was just about to walk to the living room to wait, but he pulled me back, shaking his head, then he pulled me up the stairs after him.
"You can wait in my room." He said, "I just need to take a quick shower."
"How long have you liked me Jasper?" I asked curious.
He smiled. "Since the very first moment I set eyes on you." He said, almost shyly.
"Really?" I asked, surprised and happy.
"Yes, really, but I had to concentrate on taking care of my family, so I pushed my feelings to the side, but lately, seeing so much of you... well I just couldn't resist you any longer." He informed me, we walked into his room and lifted me so that I was standing on his bed, even with him standing on the floor he was almost as tall as me. "I will be back as soon as I can." He said and he took hold of my waist and pulled me to him. He kissed me with such passion that it felt like he was going away for a month, it would probably feel that long, even just for a few minutes. As he pulled away from me, he looked into my eyes and a beautiful smile spread across his face, he pulled me back to press his lips to mine one more time, then he released me. As he walked away I could still feel the heat from his big hands where they had hugged my waist, I let myself drop onto his bed.
I don't know how many minutes had passed or if it was only seconds, but some unseen force seemed to propel me off the bed and down the hallway. I tried the bathroom door, it was unlocked, I could see Jaspers naked body through the steamed glass. I locked the bathroom door behind me, I pushed down my skirt and undies and kicked them off with my pumps, then I pulled off my top and bra. I walked more confidently than I could have imagined I was capable of, though I was shaking, the shower door clicked as I opened it and Jasper spun around. He stared at me standing naked in the doorway, his lips were slightly parted, then he grasped my hand and pulled me into the shower.
I pulled the door closed behind me and he turned me so that I had my back to him, he picked up the shampoo bottle and seconds later he replaced it, then I felt both his hands in my hair. I had had my hair washed at the salon many times, but that was nothing like this. Feeling his finger running through my hair and massaging my head was unbelievable, I just stood there with my back leaning against his naked body. I ached to turn around and when the water ran clear of shampoo I was about to, but he picked up the shower gel and put some on a sponge. He wrapped one arm around me just under my chest pulling me tight against him, then starting with my neck he began to rub the sponge over my body, slowly covering every inch of me. The smile on my face was beginning to hurt my cheeks, I couldn't believe that it was possible to feel so clean and so dirty at the same time, then I felt his lips on my neck, I moaned at the pure pleasure of it.
As he reached my pelvic bone with the sponge he pushed my legs apart by gently forcing his knee between them, they spread wider gladly allowing him to stroke the sponge between my legs, once... twice. His hand moved from under my chest to my chin, he pulled my face up and he leaned forward to kiss me on the lips, it was kind of like the Spiderman upside down kiss, but much, much hotter. His hand dropped back down and he caressed my breasts they felt tiny under his big hand, then his other hand made its third sweep between my legs, I felt his hand, but no sponge. I whimpered excitedly as I felt his fingers stroke over my now pulsing flesh. This was truly my idea of heaven on earth, his fingers explored and slowly he began to slide one inside of me and as I moaned at the ecstasy of it. My lips parted and suddenly his tongue was inside of me too, I was in heaven, but this was very one sided, I clutched at his big strong arms that held me so close to him, and I stroked his tongue with my own.
Then, much too soon the water began to run cold, he released my breast and smacked his hand on the shower controls then turned off the water. He opened the shower door and lifted me out with him, he lowered me to the floor and then finally broke the kiss, he sighed deep and long before he spoke.
"I really need to stop whilst I still can, I've never had such a lack of self control... I want you so badly." He said.
I couldn't speak, my hair was dripping down my face and despite how hot I was the cold air from the bathroom made me shiver.
"Oh I'm sorry," he said handing me a towel for my hair, he wrapped another around his waist, the bulge in the front making his erection more evident. With both my hands in the air towel drying my hair, he wrapped a big towel around me, he scooped me up and carried me back to his room. He stood me on the floor and he sat on his bed to towel dry his hair, I didn't think about it, I just climbed onto his lap and wrapped my arms and legs around him. Even through the obstacle of two towels I could feel the hard cock between his legs, which I, conveniently enough was now sitting on. I pulled him closer so that I could kiss him again, at the same time my hips rolled, causing me to rub over his cock, the feel of it excited me. Judging by the expression on his face, he was much, much more excited and he let out a moan, it in turn caused me to whimper and made me roll my hips again... and again.
Jasper grabbed hold of me almost roughly and threw me down on the bed then he practically jumped on top of me, then he started to roll his hips into mine, the friction it caused just made me want him even more.
"Jasper put my sister down... I need to get home so I can give your sister a rub down in the shower." Emmett's voice called through the closed door. "As my sister seems to have used all your hot water."
Jasper and I pulled apart slightly and we both stared at each other grinning.
"Its probably for the best, or I might not be able to stop myself from having you here and now." Jasper whispered to me.
"Damn you Emm, he'll put me down when you put Rose down." I yelled suddenly frustrated.
"That's never gonna happen." Emmett replied.
The door opened slightly and some clothes appeared in the door.
"Thought you might need these Alice, as your clothes are on the bathroom floor." Rose said and I flushed purple. "The thong is new, so you owe me a new one." She said and she dropped the clothes on the floor and closed the door.
I looked into Jaspers eyes and smiled shyly, he smiled back, then he pressed his lips to mine.
"I mean it Jazz, C'mon lets go." Emmett called.
We both sighed and Jasper climbed off the bed pulling me with him.
"Would you prefer to get dressed alone?" He asked me as I tried to reattach the now loose towel around me.
I smiled at him, "Not unless you'd prefer me to, no. I don't have anything I want to hide from you." I said, that wasn't entirely true, but good enough for now I thought.
"Good to know," he said, picking up Rose's clothes and handing them to me, "and no, I'd prefer to see you get dressed, though to be honest I would much prefer to see them coming off than going on." He said as he pulled on his boxer shorts.
I pulled on the sequinned thong and as I straightened up the towel came loose and fell to the floor.
"Oops." I said.
"That's not making things any easier for me." Jasper said.
I grinned and pulled on Rosalie's red halter top mini dress.
"I always hated that dress, I always thought that it was too revealing with too much easy access." He said, I suddenly felt depressed and my face dropped.
He walked over to me and gently lifted my chin. "But... on you, I can definitely see that as a very very good advantage." He said sliding his hand inside the dress and playing with my nipple.
"Would you mind putting some pants and a shirt on before you do things like that, or I might have to take this dress back off." I said, pushing his hand away.
"No need," he said, "its a short dress and you are only wearing a thong, I can just work around those obstacles." He informed me, with a very mischievous grin on his face.
"Jazz, hurry up." Emmett called from downstairs, Jasper chuckled as he pulled on his pants.
"I'm coming." He said, still chuckling.
"Jasper." I said, but I couldn't help but laugh too.
Jasper put some clothes in a bag and headed for the bathroom. "Okay, lets go, I have your uniform in my bag so your Mom wont miss it in the laundry tomorrow." He said lifting me up to kiss me, he carried me down the stairs that way.
"Finally." Emmett said, opening the front door, he was holding Rose's overnight bag, Rose grinned at me as she walked passed.
"Oh yeah, thanks for the loan, Rose... I do owe you now." I said and we both giggled.
"What took you so long? Or shouldn't I ask?" I heard Emmett ask Jasper.
"I told I was coming." Jasper replied.
"Oh, I thought as much." Emm said and he glanced back at me, with an eyebrow raised.
It was a quiet ride home, the memory of what had happened in the shower and on the bed after, was on my mind. I looked over at Jasper and the smirk on his face made me wonder if he was thinking about it too. I wanted to get home and get to bed in a hurry, but as we got closer to home reality set in. Being at home with my parents in the house I doubted that we'd get anywhere near each other. With four other people to hear us too, I didn't think we had any hope of doing anything. Although we'd be back at his place tomorrow whilst he 'Packed' maybe, just maybe I would finally make Jasper Hale mine, this was more than just a crush, or even lust. I wanted to be a part of him, and I wanted him to feel that way about me, I knew what I was risking, if I let him make love to me so soon, but I really didn't think that I could wait. Maybe he'd think less of me? Maybe he wouldn't think that I was girlfriend material? Maybe he didn't want me the way that I wanted him? I felt my heart plummet as the sick truth of that began to sink in.
Jasper pulled up in the garage next to Edward's Volvo and Emm and Rose got out immediately and disappeared into the house. I looked up at Jasper and he turned to look at me.
"Alice." He said.
"Yes?" I replied, feeling positively sick at this point.
"I... I have always been an old fashion kind of guy, I put my family first," he paused and took a deep breath. "I haven't had a girlfriend in over two years and even then I never made love to anyone. I wanted to save that for someone I really wanted to make love to and not just have sex." He stared into my eyes and lifted his hand to stroke my cheek. "Alice... I want you to be the one, I didn't realise that I could care about anyone as much as my family, but I care more... differently, but more for you Alice, not to live with you as a brother, or even a lover, I want this to be, more." He said.
"Like... what exactly?" I asked desperate to hear him say the words I longed to hear from him.
"I'm in love with you Alice." He said, his hand dropped from my face and his face dropped to stare down at his hands on his lap as he spoke. I reached over and placed my hand over his and squeezed it. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, I never thought I would ever hear those words, I was euphoric. He looked up at me slowly. "I should ask you to be my girlfriend, but honestly that isn't enough, I just want you to be mine." He said and my breathe caught.
"Jasper... I already am yours and I really don't think I will ever feel any differently." I admitted.
"So.. your?" He asked waiting for conformation.
"In love with you too." I confirmed.
He pulled his hand out from under mine and pulled me to him, kissing me softly and tenderly on the lips. "You don't know how long I have wanted to hear you say those words." He said.
"Probably about as long as I have been waiting for you to say them to me." I replied.
He smiled blissfully and kissed my nose, "come on lets get you inside, its getting late."
Jasper went straight up to check on Bella and I went straight to my room.
~F~
"Alice, honey may I come in?" My Dad asked at the door, I was already in bed at that point.
"Yes Dad."
"So?" He asked.
"So.. what?" I asked confused.
He took a deep breath. "Your mother explained how you feel about Jasper, so I was wondering if you had got your wish and if you were dating?" He asked. I grinned and ducked my face embarrassed.
"Dad... I." I didn't know what to say.
"Just a straight forward yes or no will do, I just wanted to know if my baby girl is dating the senior or not." He said.
"I guess I should say yes then," I said sheepishly.
"That's fine, well just make sure you use these then." He said placing a box of condoms on my bedside table.
"Dad!" I yelled, I could have just died there and then, this was the sort of thing Mom and I talked about, but with my Dad it was majorly embarrassing.
"Your Mom's idea, apparently she's too young to be a grandparent. That doesn't mean that I think that you should do anything, its just so that you are both covered if you do... so to speak, just if you get carried away, that's all I'm saying."
"Dad." I groaned, could this be anymore embarrassing?
"Okay, I'm going now," he said getting up and kissing the top of my head, "Goodnight baby girl."
"Dad, do you really have to call me that?" I groaned again.
"It doesn't make a difference how old you are, you will always be my beautiful baby girl." He said. "Goodnight sweetie," he said and closed the door behind him.
I threw the box into a draw, just as the bedroom door clicked open again. "May I come in?" Jasper asked. He stood in the doorway wearing just a pair of pyjama bottoms.
"Of course," I said and I pulled the cover up on my bed, and he climbed in next to me. "How is Bella?" I asked.
"Better than I expected, though I'm guessing that that is mostly down to your brother," he said.
"He really loves her, you know, he'll protect her now." I assured him.
"I know, doesn't mean I like it, they are both so young still," he said.
"Uh-hum, I am his twin." I pointed out.
"Good point, maybe I should promise not to do anything I shouldn't," he said pulling me close and wrapping his arms around me.
"Don't you dare... I will just have to keep you occupied so that you don't worry about what anyone else is up to." I said grinning before I pulled him closer to kiss me.
"And how are you planning to do that?" He asked then rolled us both until he was on top of me.
"I'm sure I will think of something." I said wrapping my arms and legs around him in a vice tight grip.
I wasn't sure just how long we were making out for but sometime later Jasper spoke.
"I really think I should leave now, or I will never be able to," he said. He kissed me one more time. "I will set my alarm for seven and I will be back here then." He kissed me once more. "Goodnight my hearts desire." He said making my heart flutter, then he went back to his own room across the hall.
~F~
My alarm went off at 6:55 and I smacked it off, seconds later there was a light tap at the door.
"Yes?" I whispered.
The door cracked open slightly, "May I come in?" Jasper whispered, he looked around the door and I pulled the cover up for him again, he came in and shut the door behind him and quickly climbed into bed next to me, he pulled me tight against him.
"I missed you," he said leaning down to kiss me, but I turned away from him.
"No, I need to clean my teeth first." I said, putting my hand in front of my mouth.
"No you don't, I cleaned mine enough for the both of us," he explained.
"I'm still not kissing you." I said.
He pulled my hand out of the way. "Yes you are," he said with his lips against mine.
"Jasper I..." I tried to say but that just made it easier for him to push his tongue into my mouth. I rolled my eyes, but kissed him back anyway. All too soon it was seven thirty and time to get up, we got dressed and went to the kitchen together, we sat down just as Edward and Bella walked in hand in hand.
Dad walked into the kitchen then, "Oh good you are all here, I do not want to start laying down rules, on our first day, but after last night, Emmett, Edward and Jasper, all bedroom doors are to remain open after eleven pm and no one is allowed in anyone else's room after that time." He said.
"Jasper what did you do?" Bella asked shocked.
"No one did anything." Dad said, looking around the table, "If they had I would have put a stop to it, but in future I wont let it get so far." He said looking at Edward, ooh Edward was always the good one, Dads doppelgänger but obviously he'd crossed the line for once.
"I didn't do anything." Edward said innocently.
"And you never will." Jasper told him.
"People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." Rosalie said to Jasper and we all burst out laughing. If Edward had been more adventurous than us, well I dread to think what he and Bella had been up to, that was most unfair I thought.
"What have we created?" Mom asked Dad. "We'll have to rename the house, 'couples nest.'"
"So what's on the agenda for today?" Bella asked. Well I knew what my agenda was, I thought.
"Well I was thinking, if the three of you go back to your old place and start packing and we'll bring the other cars later and help with the bigger things." Dad suggested.
"No, I'm going too." Edward said.
"As am I." I said leaning against Jaspers arm.
"Rosie, ain't going nowhere without me." Emmett announced.
"There maybe some private things they might like to pack, that they don't want you to see." Dad said.
"I don't have anything, that I wouldn't want Edward to see, though I don't have anything, I'll be lucky if I need a whole box to put everything I own in." Bella said.
Edward pulled her out of her seat and into his lap. "I will soon change that." He said to her.
"You are all I need." She whispered to him, it was very sweet.
"To be honest, none us have much of anything." Jasper said and I felt bad for him.
"Well if you want to keep things like your own beds." Dad started to say.
"No way... I love my new bed, that's the best nights sleep I think I ever had." Bella assured him.
Rose laughed and we all looked at her, wondering why.
"What? Jasper asked her.
"Oh, I think I know why Bells slept so well." She said.
"And why is that?" Jasper asked suspicious, he wasn't the only one.
"I caught her sleeping with a teddy bear this morning." She said.
"Bells hasn't done that in years." Jasper said suddenly concerned.
"Oh, I've a feeling she'll be sleeping with this one a lot from now on." Rose said.
Jasper turned to Dad, "Actually most our furniture isn't worth keeping." He informed him.
"Well, if you are sure?" He asked.
"We are." Rose, Jasper and Bella said together.
"I guess that settles it then, you can all go, just give me a call, if you need the extra car or help." Dad said.
"Sure thing." Jasper said.
"Though leaving you all unsupervised probably isn't the best idea, so I am trusting you all to behave, and concentrate on the packing." Mom said.
"I will see if I can have a dumpster delivered for a few hours, to put all the furniture you don't want in." Dad said.
"That would be great... Thank you." Jasper said.
"Maybe one of us should go along to chaperone?" Mom suggested, oh hell to the no!
"Geez Mom, we won't do anything, you can trust us." Emmett said pouting, I nodded in agreement, there was no way I wanted parental supervision, not with what I had planned.
"I guess I'm going to have to, though if you hurry I have an idea for this afternoon, I would put this just to the girls, but I am guessing you boys won't let them go for an entire afternoon."
"Damn straight we wont." Emmett and Edward said and Jasper pulled me into his lap and wrapped his arms tight around me, so I reached up to kiss his cheek.
"I think a shopping trip is in order, so we can stock up your closets." Mom said, damn shopping, the only thing capable of distracting me from what I wanted to do, maybe that's why she was doing this, Mom was always one step ahead.
I got a little distracted then and the voices became a blur, I was just focused on Jaspers fingers sliding up and down my side.
"That goes for me too." Jasper said, pulling me from my distraction.
"But I don't have a job." Bella said.
"Bella, Edward and Alice don't count as they are all still under eighteen." Dad said, what had I missed?
"What? So I have to get a job now?" Emm asked.
"Well, if Rose and Jasper can, then so can you." Dad told him.
"Mom?" Emm protested.
"No Emmett, I agree with your father." Mom said.
"Man that really sucks." Emm complained.
"They are looking for someone big and strong at my store, to help with deliveries." Rosalie said stroking her hand over his chest.
"I guess I could look into that." He said.
~F~
We were soon at the house and packing up what little they had, I was going to take Jasper shopping myself soon and just go on a shopping frenzy, though that was normal for me, but he'd just have to get used to that side of me. We were in Jaspers room and we were in a hurry to get things packed, we were almost done in the bedroom when we heard raised voices, slamming doors and something big crashing down the stairs, we both ran to the hallway to see what was going on.
Edward and Rose were banging on the bathroom door.
"What's going on?" Jasper demanded to know, but no one spoke, Jasper looked at them all. "Where's Bells?" He asked, then he barged through them all to the door, "Bells?" He called, but there was no answer, he listened at the door for a second, then took a step back and kicked the door open, we all ran to the door, but the bathroom was empty.
Edward took off out of the open window, with Jasper hot on his trail, the rest of us ran down the stairs and out through the back door to the surrounding forest.
"Split up." Emmett shouted and we all took different trails, calling out Bella's name, I passed Edward going in the opposite direction, he was beside himself with worry. After fifteen minutes there had been no sign of Bella at all, we reconvened in their yard.
"She's embarrassed, she not going to show her face until she's calmed down and thought it through." Rosalie said. "She will come back when she's good and ready, not before." She explained.
We all made our way back to the house, except Edward, he went straight back into the forest, he wouldn't give up until he found her.
I sat on the sofa next to Jasper, he had his face in his hands.
"Edward will find her and whatever the problem, they will sort it out Jasper, you are not responsible for every tiny thing that happens, please Jazz, listen to me." I said falling to my knees by his feet. "You only have you and me to think about, Rose has Emm to take care of her and Bella has Edward," I said, though I wasn't sure if I was getting through to him. "He will find her and he will make it right, he's my brother and I know he will, okay?"
He sighed and looked up at me, with a weak smile. "Perhaps your right Alice," he said, "but old habits are hard to break,"
"She's your sister, of course you are going to worry about her, but you can share that responsibility now, you don't have to take it all on yourself." I said.
He chuckled, "What did I ever do to deserve you?" He asked.
"Well... I don't know what you did, but I have an idea of what you can do," I said and I pulled his face closer, so that I could kiss him.
