Learning To Breathe Again

I could feel something tickling my shoulder, I was so comfortable though, that I didn't want to get up. I wiggled slightly and felt a rush of warm breath across my back, as if someone laughed against my skin. I groaned an turned my head the other way opening my eyes. Jasper eyes were bright as they met mine from over my shoulder, his lips pressed against my bare shoulder. I felt him smile against my skin and I buried my face into the pillow, grinning.

"You look way to happy for so early in the morning," I mumbled into the pillow.

"Well, it is afternoon, not morning." he corrected, I peeked one eye open and groaned.

"It's still too early for that smile," I told him. He grinned down at me and shrugged.

"I'm starved, let's go eat." He said instead of answering. He kissed my shoulder and slapped my butt playfully, before he jumped up from the bed, naked as the day he was born and stretched his arms over his head. I swallowed harshly as I took in his body and groaned when I noticed he was staring at me with a smirk as I looked him over. I buried my head back into the pillow, mumbling under my breath.

"Come on, I know you're hungry too," he teased, my stomach grumbled in agreement and he laughed at me as I groaned in embarrassment. "The beast has spoken, get your clothes on, darlin'." I kept grumbling under my breath, but reluctantly got up and headed towards his shower. I heard him groan behind me and blushed realising he wasn't the only naked one in the room.

I didn't hear him come up behind me, but suddenly I was lifted up bridal style, "I changed my mind, food can wait." I shook my head laughing as he carried me into the shower and slammed the door behind us.

When we finally made it to the dining area, Emmett and Rosalie were sitting at one of the tables eating already and Rose waved us over once she spotted us. Jasper told me to go over and he's get some food. I nodded, blushing when he pressed a kiss against my cheek. I made my way over to the table and took a seat next to Rose, leaving an open one in between Emmett and I.

"Hey guys," I greeted stealing a strawberry off Rosalie's plate.

"Hey, how're you feeling?" Rose asked casually. I shrugged slightly.

"Not bad, I think it was just the seafood not agreeing with me," I answered as Jasper sat down, placing a huge plate of fruit down in between us.

"That's good," Emmett cut in, a mischievous smile on his face, "You know, Rose insisted we stop by your room this morning," he added casually and my eyes widened slightly, "just to see how you were doing, you weren't there though. So we stopped by Jasper's room, he sounded a little busy though." I could feel the blush creep across my cheeks and Emmett laughed. Rosalie hit him in the arm, but she was smiling.

Jasper chuckled next to me and threw an arm around the back of my chair, "I was watching porn," he said casually, throwing a wink my way.

"Sure sounded like it. The shower is a weird place to watch a porno though," Emmett said with a raised eyebrow. Jasper just rolled his eyes.

"I knew I shouldn't have let you have a key to my room," was all he replied.

Rose ignored both boys and turned to me, "There's a doctor you can see in Rio," I shook my head.

"I don't need to see a doctor, Rose. My stomach just didn't agree with the seafood." I told her.

"Still, you should get checkout while we're there," I nodded with a shrug.

"Sure," I agreed.

"Welcome to Rio De Janeiro," I smiled at the overly enthusiastic driver, we were here for four days, and I had to admit I was excited. I had never been to Rio. Jasper offered his hand as I stepped out of the car, not letting go as we waited for Emmett and Rose to join us.

Rose had rented out an apartment for the time we were staying and it was amazing on the inside, almost everything was white and open, there was a pool on the balcony and it looked over the ocean. There was only two rooms, but the boys decided to bunk with us instead of a hotel. Neither Rose nor I minded sharing a room with them though. We went out to dinner the first night we were there and visited the midnight markets. The second day Rose convinced me to go to the doctors, turned out I was right and there was nothing wrong with me, my body just didn't like seafood and then we spent the day beach, snorkelling and tanning. The third night we were there was the Carnival and definitely the highlight of the trip.

I couldn't remember the last time I had felt so free, the obligations of the world seemed distant as we danced and tried weird new foods. The last day we spent just spent in wandering, taking in the sights of the city. It was beautiful. I wanted to stay there forever and after the phone call I got later that night I wished I had stayed.
