CHAPTER 2
The ride to Seattle was short. We took Emmett's jeep, but that didn't stop Emmett from seriously exceeding the speed limit whenever possible. What would have been a four hour trip was turned into two hours. Alice sat upfront with Emmett happily chatting with him about what potential the club we were heading to had. Emmett mentioned the strippers but was quickly shut down by Alice's hand to the back of his head. Both Jasper and I giggled. We mainly sat in silence, Jasper's arm around me and hand stroking my knee and lower thigh lovingly. Half way through the trip there, Jasper leaned in close to me, his lips millimetres from my earlobe and whispered
"I know we haven't said it out loud, but you know I love you." My chest swelled and I smiled so wide, a burst of happiness exploding from me.
"I know, just as you know I love you." I said facing him, placing my hand on his cheek. He smiled and kissed me chastely, but lovingly. With that said, he raised his voice.
"I think it's time for pre drinks." He reached behind me and pulled out a four pack of southern comfort, a bottle of green fairy absinthe and a bottle of vodka. When was that put in the car? I didn't have time to ask as Alice and Emmett cheered and each had a can in their hand as I was handed mine. The next hour was spent seeing who could chug the most the fastest. I didn't participate. I would have needed my stomach pumped trying to keep up with them! I managed my can, a shot of absinthe and a shot of vodka. That was enough for me! We arrived and immediately went to the VIP line. Of course. We were in and hands stamped and at the bar ordering more drinks before I could say a word. The music was loud and thumping. It had me tapping my foot. I looked around at the other patrons. They were beautiful. And human. I felt out of place and self conscience. Jasper grabbed me around the waist and made me look at him.
"You are the most gorgeous, beautiful, sexy person here. Vampire or human. Don't you dare feel that way! Can't you see the looks your getting?" I shook my head. I was too busy looking at my feet. Emmett then said
"if another guy looks at her I might have to join you in castrating every 'boy' here, Jasper." I had to giggle. I quickly gulped my drink and was led to a private booth upstairs over looking the dance floor. A waitress in hot pants and boob tube came over to take our drink order. She looked at Jasper and directly spoke to him, deliberately bending over so he could see her cleavage. He was not interested. But that didn't stop me from jumping on his lap and blocking her view. I felt him smile into my back and run his hands up my thighs to stop on my hips. The waitress straightened back up and I gruffly ordered a round of shots and cocktails. She scurried away.
"You aren't even a vampire yet and you are already possessive, ready and willing to stake your claim. It's amazing and sexy. If only I could mark you..." He trailed off pulling my back flush against him and kissing my neck. I was putty under his skilful touch. The waitress returned with our drinks and scurried away. With that we all took our shots. Alice and Emmett finished their drinks before I did, so excused themselves to dance. Jasper and I watched them, having a laugh at their antics. Taking the piss out of everyone's dancing, often breaking out in a syncronized routine. I was definitely feeling the affects of the alcohol so excused myself to go to the ladies room. When I got back, I heard 'party people' playing by Fergie and Nelly pumping through the club. I made my way over to Jasper fist pumping the air and wiggling my booty. I sat on Jasper's lap and asked him if he was having a good time. He responded with a wide smile. We were joined by Alice and Emmett.
"My turn to steal Bella for a dance. I saw that fist pumping action. I got it on my phone!" Alice said with a smile firmly in place. I scowled and quickly downed my drink.
"Alright Alice, let's go!"
"Have fun." Jasper said as I left his lap. Alice linked her arm with mine and we headed for the crowded dance floor. 'Sexy bitch' by akon started playing. 'Oh yeah! This is my jam' I thought. Yep. I was drunk already. Damn Alice! She saw this. We got to the dance floor and started dancing. We were soon Surrounded by two men. Both getting closer every second. I tried to ignore them, even grinding on Alice and putting my arms around her. It only spurred them on. Just as predicted they were on us. I turned to my 'captor' and whispered in his ear
"my boyfriend won't like what your trying to do."
"He ain't here baby, just go with it." And he grabbed my ass. Then Jasper was behind me, forcefully removing the mans hand from my ass, Alice safely tucked under his other arm. He must have removed the other guy. My 'captor' went to object when Emmett appeared in front of me, just as livid. He ran. Emmett and Alice went back to dancing together, and I slowly turned to face Jasper.
"I'm sorry. I tried to tell him." I said earnestly.
"I know." He said, eyes still black. I lovingly stroked his back, soothing him. His eyes were still black, but not from anger.
"Did you really mean it?" He asked.
"Mean what?" I asked.
"The part where I'm your boyfriend." He answered.
"I think we both know we are more than that. We are to be together for eternity." Wow, nothing like a bit of Dutch courage to bring forth my deepest, darkest truths and desires. He smiled a big toothy smile, grabbed my face and whispered "I love you" before his mouth was on mine. It was forceful, passionate, loving, sexy, all at once.
"And I love you." I whispered when he let me breath. He began to move, me following his movements to some upbeat r'n'b mix. I couldn't place it, but it was good. Damn he could move! I caught sight of Alice and Emmett, perfectly synchronised as usual. Jasper placed his hands on my behind and really started moving. It was like sex with clothes on. He turned me around and continued. Rolling his hips into me. We started walking backwards, to the furtherest corner, slightly out of view.
"Just keep moving. I want to do something for you." He whispered. His hand slipped up my dress before I could react. My stomach dropped and a heat spread starting in my lower stomach and spreading. I squeezed my legs together.
"It's ok, relax. Just feel. Don't be scared. I won't hurt you." He said, placing a tender, lingering kiss on my neck. I let him have control. I just felt. It was mind blowing. His fingers were magic. I exploded with a grunt and a sigh. I suppressed a scream, not that it mattered. He held me up, turned me around and kissed me deeply. With that we got another drink.
We left at 2 am. I curled up in Jasper's lap and snoozed most of the trip home. When I woke, I was in Jasper's room. He laid next to me, looking at me. I sat up and realised i was still wearing the dress. I excused myself to go to the bathroom for a quick shower. I collapsed in Jasper's arms and slept for the remainder of the early morning. Jasper stroked my hair and would place a kiss on my temple occasionally. I awoke to a smiling Jasper.
"What are you smiling at?" I asked, my own smile firmly in place.
"The most beautiful woman in the world." He replied before kissing me chastely.
"I would say the same but your not a woman." I replied with a laugh, and received my ribs being tickled in return.
"What time is it?" I asked when I finished laughing.
"11am. Your not due home till four. You still have time to sober up and look presentable for Charlie." Jasper said.
"Good," I said. "Because I'm in need of some hang over food and a day in bed."
"already organised and waiting. Bacon and eggs?"
"I love you." I said getting out of bed and going to the bathroom. He chuckled and left the room.
The few hours I had left before I went home were spent talking and joking with Jasper, Emmett and Alice about the night before. Even Rose joined in, and slapped Emmett upside the head for mentioning the strippers. The time came and I was due home. I kissed jasper good bye and waved the others off. I got home and Charlie was immersed in a game on tv so I got to work on dinner, served it up and excused myself to go to 'bed'. I would tell Charlie tomorrow that Edward and I were over. I went to my room and Jasper was already waiting for me. No words were spoken, there was no need. We just got into bed and cuddled up. I slept soundly while he stroked my hair and kissed my shoulder.
I awoke the next morning to heavy rain. Jasper wasn't beside me anymore, he was over by the window, looking out. I sat up and stretched.
"What's wrong?" I asked. He turned to me.
"Carlisle just rang. Seems there really was an emergency. He is coming home either tonight or early morning. He's just gotta make sure the issue is contained before he leaves. He wants to have a family meeting as soon as he gets back."
"Is it that bad?" I asked
"Must be." He crawled back into bed with me and wrapped me in his arms. Should I worry if Carlisle is so flustered? I guess I'll find out in the next 24 hours. For now, I'll just bask in the glory that is Jasper.
