Chapter 1

  It was a beautiful morning; the sun hadn't risen yet, so the sky is mostly dark blue with purple and pink tendrils stretching out. It had rained a few hours before so the calming smell of after rainfall was still present. A lone figure was out walking enjoying the peace and calmness that this time of day brought.

Jasper Cullen sighed. Even though he and Alice had mutually agreed to split, it didn't make it an easier. Especially since a week after Alice and Edward were going at it like bunnies. So that is what brought him to be out walking around 3 or 4 in the morning. Currently he was walking down Main Street in Forks and kicked a pebble a little too hard.

"Ouch! What did the pebble do to you or what did I do to you that I deserved a pebble to be kicked at?"

Startled Jasper looked up to see a tall, dark but messy hair man, the man had broad shoulders. Even though the tone had been joking and his pose relaxed, Jasper could feel calmness and concern radiating from him, but the pose was carefully relaxed like it was designed to put you at ease but if you turned out to be a threat, he would take care of you.

Thankful to be a vampire, so he couldn't blush, he answered, "My apologies. Had I known you were there I wouldn't have kicked it."

"No worries kid, you can make it up to me," the man said.

"Of course, how may I assist you?" Jasper answered, thinking it would be nice to be in this calming presence.

"Ever the gentleman I see, well you can help me with my pastries. I'm Harry by the way," Harry said as he turned to unlock and open bakery's door.

"Jasper," Jasper replied and followed through the door, shutting it after he was through.

Looking around he saw some amazing foods and candies and cakes. Strange, he doesn't remember having a bakery opening up and Alice didn't say anything.

"Today is the grand opening of my bakery, so if you wouldn't mind following me to the back, you can get started on your task," Harry said holding open the doors that lead to the back.

"Ok," Jasper said. As he walked past Harry, Jasper noticed that he smelt of earth and sugar and that it was calming. Weird that his emotions were calm and his scent was calming to him.

"Alright see those trays? I want you to go place them in their correct spots. The trays are labeled and their spots are labeled," Harry told him as Harry was moving to the other side of the kitchen bringing out dough.

Nodding Jasper grabbed the trays and carried them to the front. As he was putting out the pastries and cookies, he let his mind wander, mostly to Harry. The man was definitely attractive, and he was able to calm him his swirling emotions with just his presence. Normally he would suppress these thoughts, one it wasn't normal from his time period, but he has learned that they are normal and two he was a taken man, but not anymore, so he let his mind fantasize about the tall man, and his gracefulness. The power that was present in all of his movements.

"Hey, kid, we are opening in twenty."

Startled out of his thoughts, Jasper looked to the clock, it was 6:40 am. Had he really been lost in his thoughts that long? For three hours? Looking around he saw that he had completed his task and it looked good. Wow that was quite a bit of food, Harry made if it took three hours.

"Wow, Jas, you did an awesome job. Thank you. Do you want to stay for the opening or do you got somewhere to be?" Harry questioned.

Thinking about it, he wasn't dirty and not in the same clothes as yesterday, plus he would be able to stay with Harry for a while longer.
