The Majors Mate (A Twilight Love Story)

Chapter 20

Kiara's P.O.V. 

When Jasper and I got to my house I opened the front door. 

"Come on, Jaz. You said you wanted a tour of my house." I said as I walked into the house. Jasper walked behind me and shut the door.

"Lead the way darlin'," Jasper said. I proceeded to show him around the house. While showing him around I watched his facial expressions. I could tell that he liked the aesthetic of the house. 

"Your house is beautiful darlin'," he told me as we walked back to the living room after I finished giving the tour. 

"Thank you, Jaz." I thanked him. "So, you're Major Whitlock, huh?" I asked. 

"Yes ma'am," he said

"Now it makes sense when you said you were in a war. You were in the Civil War." I said, he nodded. 

"I know that you said that you weren't ready to talk about your past; during the time you were turned, but can you tell me about the time before you were turned?" I asked

"I can. What do you want to know?" he asked

"What made you want to go into the army?" I asked

"I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps. I disagreed with what the South was fighting for. I felt for the African Americans, it wasn't right that they were forced into slavery and the brutality they went through. When I could I would help them escape and avoid the soldiers. If I joined the Union Army I could do that too but it would help the escapees be safer from the Confederates with someone on the inside helping them."

"That was very kind of you Jasper. I love how you wanted to follow in your father's footsteps. Can you tell me about your parents?" I asked

"Well, I grew up on a farm in Texas. The farm had been in Pa's family for generations. So, he worked the farm with Ma. When I was born Ma stayed at the house with me until I was old enough to help with some of the chores. We grew wheat, corn, cotton, and more. We would sell what we didn't use to the others in our town. We also sold cheese, butter, and milk." 

"That sounds nice. I've thought of what it would be like to live on the farm, but getting up before the crack of dawn didn't entice me. I like my sleep." I giggled. Jasper chuckled.

"Yes, that part was a pain. But the feeling you get when doing what you loved made it worth it." Jasper explained.

"I guess, but I'd still complain about getting up at dawn," I said with a smile. Jasper chuckled again. 

"So Jasper, you know how we have that project in music class?" I asked

"Yes," he said.

"I was wondering if you wanted to team up with me," I said

"I would love to, darlin'," he said with a smile. 

"Yay, thank you. Now I don't really know your musical capabilities. Care to share?" I asked with a smile.

"Well, I can sing, play guitar, and bass," he told me.

"Alright, well we have a week to figure out what we want to do. Let's figure it out over the weekend. That sound alright to you?" I asked.

"Of course," he said.

We stayed in the living room and started on our homework. Once we finished Jasper and I talked for a few hours. Around 6:00 Jasper's phone started ringing. He looked at his phone and I saw that the caller was Carlisle.

Jasper's P.O.V.

I saw that the caller was Carlisle and I answered.
