One of A Kind

Pre-Twilight: Chapter Twenty-Six

I wake up to the sound of someone knocking on our door. I roll over and see that Jasper is no longer in bed. I stand up and go out into the open area. Jasper is holding the front door open as a man rolls in a cart with many different plates with my favorite foods. He leaves it by the dining table and quietly excuses himself.

"Good morning, darling," Jasper says, coming over and kissing my forehead.

"Good morning, baby," I reply, my eyes moving to the spread on the food cart. It is impressive. I walk towards it very slowly, I may add. My body seems to be a little sore this morning. I can feel Jasper's smugness as he watches me from behind, knowing what I am feeling.

I sit at the table, grab a little of everything, and start eating. I am feeling famished this morning due to the extraneous physical activity that occurred here less than 10 hours ago. Jasper sits across from me and stares at me.

"Do I have something on my face?" I ask him, suddenly feeling self-conscious.

"Just beauty." He says. I smile at him. "Okay, that was a little cheesy." He says.

"It was very cute, baby." I give him a big smile and get back to eating.

"So Alice and Rosalie want to steal you for the day." He says with a playful sour look.

"Oh no." I feign fear.

"Oh yes." He rolls his eyes. "I think it consists of shopping and nails and something else. I kind of drowned her out after a moment." I snicker when he says that.

"Sounds like fun."

"Afterward, we will go down to the beach and relax." He smiles.

"Hell yeah!" I'm very excited for today's activities.

"We can't tell you enough how much these rings mean to us." He motions down at his hand. "You gave us back a part of us we haven't had in a very long time."

"I wish I could give that to you permanently." I frown.

"Even temporarily, you have given us so much." He stands up and walks over to me. He caresses my face and brings my face close to his. "I love you. So much. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." A small tear slides down my cheek. "Before I met you, my life was almost dull, and then I walked into that classroom, and there was my light sitting in front of me. Anything you want, it's yours. I think your sister was slightly right about me being whipped." I laugh slightly, knowing he definitely heard that conversation between my sister and me. "You are the love of my life." A few more tears make their way down my face.

"I love you so much, Jasper. You mean everything to me. I never want to be away from you. I can't imagine my life without you," I reply. I could tell something changed in his demeanor when I said that. He is feeling sad and a little scared. But then he recovers quickly, probably because he knows I can feel it.

I lean up and kiss him. He takes a moment to respond, but then he kisses back with passion. I get up from my chair and wrap my arms around his neck, bringing him close to me. He pulls me as close to him as possible. We continued kissing. I didn't even realize we were on the couch until I was being pulled on top of him. We stayed in this position for what seemed like a long time, but I know it wasn't too long.

I can feel my body reacting to what is happening. I don't want to do anything he is uncomfortable doing, so I keep doing what I'm doing. His emotions shift back to smugness and lust again. Okay good. I'm not the only one feeling this way.

I can feel him smirking against my mouth. I decide to mess with him and slowly move my hips on him. I hear a light groan from him, and I know I've got him where I want him. His hands move to my ass, and he lightly squeezes it over and over. Now it's my turn to moan. He quickly gets up (and somehow doesn't drop me in the process), wraps my legs around him, and carries me into the bedroom. He lightly throws me on the bed and closes the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sound of my phone ringing wakes me up from my little nap. I keep my head on Jasper's chest for a moment and groan. He grabs my phone for me and hands it to me.

"It's my sister. Who has the worst timing." He says a little loudly, knowing she can hear him.

I click the answer button. "Hey, Alice."

"Hi! Sorry to be calling, but today is our girls' day." She says.

"I know, I know. I'm getting up right now." I pull away from Jasper and get out of bed. He groans frustratingly.

"I'll be up there in 30 minutes." She states. "Is that enough time?"

I stare at Jasper and wink at him. "Yes, that is enough time."

"Perfect!" She says and then hangs up.

I put my phone down and open my suitcase, trying to decide what to wear.

"You should stay here and wear nothing like you are right now." He says, trying to keep me here. "Because you look absolutely breathtaking right now." He whispers in my ear.

"Hey, hey, don't try to distract me." I laugh. He smiles too. "You have had your time. Now it's Alice and Rosalie's time to have me." He rolls his eyes. "I know, I know. I'm such a hot commodity on this trip." I say, flipping my hair back.

He moves his mouth next to my ear. "You are a hot commodity." He whispers, putting emphasis on hot. I giggle.

"Okay, now I need to figure out what I will wear. Go be useful and clean up the breakfast mess."

"Yes, ma'am." He replies. The only correct reply to that order.

I go through my suitcase, different outfits going through my mind. I choose my favorite yellow and black sunflower sundress. And then I decide on my black strappy sandals. Thank god I brought my black purse; it goes great with this outfit. I run to the bathroom and do my makeup and hair quickly but perfectly. It took me a moment to figure out what hairstyle to do, but I kept my hair down with two little ponytails.

When I decide my look is perfect, I walk out to the main room, where Jasper sits on the couch, reading a book. Looking soooo good. He looks up at me, and his emotions shift to love and adoration.

He stands up and walks over to me. "You look absolutely gorgeous." He smiles brightly at me. I smile right back.

"Thank you, baby." I get on my tippy toes and kiss his nose. That makes him smile wider. "I'm so excited to go out on the town. My first out-of-the-country trip. There is so much we need to see! I need to make the most of this time. It's going to be a great week. I –"

"Breathe, darling." He says to me. I tend to ramble on about things that I am excited about. I follow his instructions, and it calms me down.

There is a knock at the door, precisely 30 minutes since my call with Alice. She is very prompt. I open the door and see Alice and Rosalie standing at my door, looking like they are ready to take on the world.

"You both look great!" I say to them. They both smile brightly at me.

"Thank you!" They say in unison.

Alice looks behind me and waves high to Jasper. "Okay, say bye Jasper!" Alice says as she lightly drags me out the door and down the hall. I hear him saying a soft goodbye as we walk down the hall.
