A Fork In The Road

Married.

I laughed disbelievingly down at my phone, it's been three days since the divorce was finalised and according to a call I just got from Jake, Edward has married his whore and the media is having a field day with it. Apparently everyone has something to say about the heiress of Swan Enterprises husband leaving her for his secretary, because that's not cliche at all. Add to that the fact that no one has been able to find me and there is chaos.

I felt a jacket being draped across my back and I looked up to Jasper smiling down at me. I returned the smile as he sat down behind me and pulled me into his arms, "What's wrong darlin'?" He asked, I told him about the call from Jake and the media problems, he listened to the whole thing without saying anything.

"Remind me to thank Edward one day," was all he said after I finished, I looked at him confused and he grinned at me, "if he had never messed up, I wouldn't be sitting here with my arms wrapped around you right now," I laughed as blood rushed to my cheeks.

"You're so cheesy, Jas." I told him shaking my head.

"I like to think of it as Southern charm," he teased.

"I didn't know you were from the South," I said leaning my head back against his shoulder, looking up at the stars.

"I was born there," he explained, "I lost the accent after awhile. It's where I want to end up, buy a farm, raise some horses." I smiled turning my head to face him.

"Sounds nice," I whispered, he leaned his head forward to touch his lips to mine.

"Maybe it's a dream we can share one day," he said against my lips.

"Maybe it is," I agreed.

"And don't stress too much about the media circus, they'll find new meat by the time we reach our next stop. Don't let them ruin this for you." He insisted.

"You know, in a way I wish we could have stayed in Rio forever," I admitted, "but at the same time. I'm glad we're going forward. I feel like for the first time in my life, I'm figuring out who I am. I'm not being what everyone else wants me to be, I just feel like I'm finally being me."

So I know it's super short, but I wanted to get it up here, there will be more to come and hopefully longer chapters, thanks for reading! :)
