The right mate.

Chapter 2; The plan (edited)

Point of view: Bella

"Jesus Jasper, you scared me!"

I looked at him for a little longer before forcing myself to look away. What the hell was happening to me? Jasper had always been beautiful, so why was he affecting me now? All the Cullen were amazingly beautiful, all vampires were because we were meant to attract the attention of humans.

My eyebrows furrowed. What was bothering me was that it seemed like I had never really noticed him before. It was confusing my whole being. Maybe it was because now I could see him more clearly, with my vampire sight. But I knew deep down inside me that this wasn't it, because I would have had the same reaction to everyone in the family.

"I'm sorry Bella, I didn't mean to scare you." He said, bringing me back from inside my head. I looked at him again, ready to tell him it was fine, but he spoke first. "I felt some worry coming from you and I thought you might need a distraction." I nodded at his words and gave him a sheepish smile. "It's fine Jasper. I just didn't think anyone was roaming the house yet."

I went to sit at the breakfast table, next to where Nessie's highchair was and drank a sip of my freshly made coffee. "And I was just thinking about how Nessie grows up so fast. I am worried she will only live for a few years at this rate." I explained to him, trying to avoid looking him in the eyes.

Voicing my concerns only made me more anxious, and Jasper must have felt it because I felt a wave of calm being pushed towards me. I took a deep breath and let him invade my emotions, because I needed this feeling of peace. I had been worrying since I had woken up from my change, so it felt good to feel the weight on my shoulders being lifted for a little while.

"You know, only time will tell how her story is going to go. But Alice has seen her in the distant future, so I wouldn't worry too much if I were you, you know she is rarely wrong." He smiled at me and shrugged a shoulder, to prove his point, which I knew he was right about. He sat down in front of me in the booth around the breakfast table, but his facial expression quickly changed to that tortured face I had seen too many times on him.

It was in these moments that I wished I had my husband's gift to read mind, so I could understand why he was making this face again when I was not human anymore. Then Nessie laughed a little and made me remember that she had blood running through her veins, which would explain Jasper's face.

"Are you okay Jasper? You look tortured again. Is it because Renesmee has blood pumping through her veins? Or maybe the blood she just finished drinking?" I asked, actually worried. But I wasn't worried for my daughter's safety. I was more worried that Jasper would still be distant because of her, which I didn't want. I really wanted to get to know him better.

He probably felt my worry again because soon after another wave of calmness was pushed towards me, and I rolled my eyes. I could see the slight smile on his lips, and I couldn't help to stare at him. This was a thing I had rarely seen on him, a genuine smile, amused one even. He looked amazingly beautiful with a smile on his face, sexy even. I felt myself wish that he would smile more often, feeling a slight lust towards him. This thought only brought more confusion inside me, and I frowned, but his smile only grew bigger.

Was he reading my emotions again? My eyes meeting his, mine full of accusation when I said: "Stop looking into my emotions Jasper!". He laughed a little and the sound made me shiver. It sounded so incredibly sexy coming from him. He got up from his spot, starting to walk away, but stopping right next to me, saying in a whisper: "I can't control it, Darlin'."

That damn accent, and that damn voice. Shivers went through my whole body, confusing me even more. He left the room soon after, leaving me alone with my emotions and disturbing thoughts. This was all new to me and I didn't know what to do with it.
