I'm Not Some Fragile Flower, I'm A Woman

I opened my window, sticking my head out to stare at Eric, our eyes glued to each other's as we left him standing there in the parking lot, until the car turned around a bend & I couldn't see him any longer. I then rested my head back against the seat, a smile upon my face as I thought about him & how he could make my body ignite in pleasure.

"Oh, I knew he would be good for you Bella & you for him," squeals Alice happily as she claps her hands.

"Mm..." I said, only half listening as my thoughts were still with Eric & our time together.

"Wow, she's really goners for him," says Rose with a smile.

I hear Jasper chuckle in the front seat where he was driving & said, "Well, I'm happy for both of them, Eric, though he hides it well, has been lonely & I think Bella is just what he needed."

Sitting up at this, I asked, "How did you meet Eric?"

"Well, that is an interesting story to tell," says Jasper as he turns onto the highway. "It was before I met Alice & was still with my brother, Peter & sister, Charlotte. We were still in Texas at the time & some of Maria's goons had found us when we were out hunting this one night. Well there were about twenty or more of them, to many to fight off with just the three of in any case, but none the less we began to fight them. I had three on me & was about to toss them off when a tall male, with pale skin, grabbed two of the guys that were on me, & threw them both against the wall before punching through their chests & ripping their hearts out. After the three of us took care of the rest, Peter of course whooped until Charlotte smack him behind the head. I walked over to the tall man who then had long blonde hair. Told him thanks for the help, he said it wasn't a problem, that a fight with twenty or more vampires against the three of us just didn't seem fair so he decided to help out. That he needed the stress relief anyway. I then introduced myself, & Peter & Charlotte, he told us his name was Eric. We became friends after that & he was second person who I introduced my Alice to. He became a part of my family outside of the Cullen's, Peter, & Charlotte. He may act all cocky at times, but as sheriff to his kind of this county, he has to be seen as tough & he is tough, one of the strongest of his kind that I've met, but he has a good heart to those he is close to."

As he talked, Alice nodded her head, before saying, "Plus, he has really good fashion sense to."

At her words, I just shook my head before saying, "Wow, Jasper, I'm glad he was there to help you guys & I would love to meet this Peter one day."

"He's been wanting to meet you as well, especially after I told him about you breaking up with Edward out on the school's parking lot in front of everyone & the way you did it. He says that's just classic & just what the prick deserves. He's really going to want to meet you now that caught the interest of Eric." he says with a smirk.

I just laughed softly at his words, a yawn suddenly pushing it way up & making yawn & blink my eyes as this is the latest I've been up in a long time.

"Uh oh, the human is getting sleepy," says Emmett with a laugh as he pulled me to rest my head onto his shoulder, before pressing a soft kiss to my forehead. "But so that we are clear, he just better take good care of my sister is all I'm saying."

I smiled up at my big, lovable brother, who may be a huge goof ball, but I knew he would beat anyone to a pulp who would ever hurt me. I leaned up to kiss his cheek before saying, "I love you to, my big, bear of a brother."

"And don't you ever forget it," he says with a grin. "Now sleep Belly-boo."

Snuggling closer, I was soon fast asleep as we drove towards home.
