One of A Kind

Pre-Twilight: Chapter Twenty-Eight

He and I finally got out of bed an hour later to get ready. I am currently in our bathroom fixing my hair and makeup. I know, I know. I'm going to the beach; I shouldn't wear makeup or worry about my hair. I don't care. I want to look good for myself and tease the fuck out of Jasper. He hasn't seen me in anything like this, and I am very excited for him to see me.

Ever since that night, I feel like a new woman. I've heard people say having sex with someone they love is a different level, and boy is that correct. Jasper is a whole new experience to me. He makes me feel more alive than I already was. My life wasn't dull before, but it is much better with him.

"Janetta, we need to leave, darling," Jasper says, knocking on the door.

"Okay, just a few more minutes," I say, hurrying up. I take off my robe and stare at myself in the mirror. I love this bikini. I throw on my shorts and a t-shirt to cover up.

I walk out of the bathroom and grab my flip-flops and bag. As I walk into the living room, I see Jasper sitting on the couch. He is wearing a tank top and shorts, an outfit I have never seen him wear. He looks as handsome as always, just a more relaxed version of himself. I grab his hand, and we walk down to the elevator.

I could feel his eyes on me, but I was trying to ignore them. We finally got on the elevator after what felt like forever. As the elevator descended the floors, I could feel Jasper getting closer. I suddenly feel his hand on the back of my leg, slowly sliding up. I look up at him, seeing he has a slight smirk. Before I could do anything in response, we arrived at the lobby. The rest of the family sits on the lobby couches, awaiting our arrival.

"Let's have some fun today!" Emmett softly shouts, getting some looks from other guests.

We get into the rental cars and drive through town to get to a beach. I know we are close to the beach when I can smell the saltwater and hear the sounds of the crowd. There are so many people on the beach. Once we get out of the car, we walk toward the water. I walk a little behind them, wanting to see their reactions.

They are all soaking in the sun. All of them look very... what's the word? Content. They seem at peace, being in the sun. I can't imagine not being able to just lay out in the sun. It probably feels so depressing.

We set up our space when we get to it. We found a nice space a few yards away from the waterline. Our towels are laid on the ground, and everyone is figuring out what they want to do. Some decided to go straight to the water, while others chose to lay out. Jasper was one of the ones to lay out on the sand. I took this as my opportunity to show off.

I make eye contact with him and slowly start to take my clothes off in front of him. First the bottoms and then the shirt, finally showing off my bikini. His eyes bulged, and his jaw dropped. I did a cute little turn and laid out on my towel. Chest up. His eyes didn't move from me the entire time. He shifted his body, attempting to cover the obvious problem between his legs. I smile innocently at him, close my eyes, and relax in the sun. This is going to be a great day.

The rest of the day consisted of us in a rotation of laying out in the sun and playing in the water. Emmett, Edward, and I were playing around in the ocean. After checking to see if the coast was clear, I would pull them underwater without being near them. They got a crack out of it every time I did it.

Once we were done at the beach, we returned to the hotel and got dressed. We packed up our things and made the hour-long drive to the stretch of beach where we would spend the rest of our trip at. Our car ride consisted of Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and I singing along to random songs with the windows down, the wind blowing in our faces.

I have never seen Jasper so relaxed. He is laughing more than I have ever seen him laugh. He genuinely seems at peace at this moment. I love him so much. I didn't think I could love someone so much, so quickly.

At that moment, I had forgotten that he could read my emotions and that I could read his. His emotions are different from when they were at the beach. He was feeling a type of ache (probably from my little show) and pain. Now, he's feeling happiness and infatuation. Hopefully, it's towards me, which I'm 99.9% positive it is. It makes my chest ache as if my body is reacting to his. As if his body is reaching out to me, and mine is reaching back to him.

It was close to 10:00 PM when we reached the houses. The sun was far gone, and the moon was burning bright. Esme gave Jasper and me the key to the house that is the furthest from the others. He grabbed my stuff, and we walked to the house. I saw motion and realized he had ran to the house, put our stuff down, and returned. We reached the house and stood outside the door for a moment.

"I love you." We both said at the same time. We laughed softly, our eyes never taking a break from one another.

"Time to go in." He said. He walked up to me and picked me up bridal style. He opened the door with one hand, holding me with the other. "I plan to do this twice. Once now..." He walked over the threshold. "... and once on our honeymoon."

My eyes widened. We had never discussed marriage, considering that we've only been together a short time. But the idea doesn't scare me. That alone scares me. The fact that I'm not scared of the idea. I don't care, though.

"Just twice? I may need more." I reply. He grins at that.

"Just twice that are planned. Didn't include the ones that are not going to be planned." He responded. He set me down and instantly kissed me. I kissed him right back. These kisses aren't like the ones we've had on this trip. They are gentle, soft, and emotional. We take breaks to put our stuff away and shower. Once we get into bed, we just talk until I fall asleep.
