Chapter 39: While Bella’s Away

(PPOV)

It’s been two days since the Major heard from Bella. It’s amazing what that one phone call from her did to him. He is like a totally different man. I knew he was still really angry before she called but it’s like she did some magic mojo over the phone and he calmed right down. Then I heard the accent reappear. Oh my god. I never thought I would hear that again. The pixie bitch squashed that shit real quick. She said he was a Cullen now and the Cullen’s were British so he had to lose the accent or blow their cover with the humans. So he worked hard to cover it. But now it was back in full force. It’s hasn’t gone away either.

 He seems more relaxed now that he is away from the pixie bitch. Man I hated her. I can’t wait to meet Jasper’s Bella. She seems like she could be a lot of fun. We talked more about Bella over the past couple of days. He told us more about her as a person. Bella apparently likes extreme sports. He told us about her boxing and karate, ballet and piano.

 They don’t really mesh but I guess she makes it work. He said she is funny and smart. Extremely observant. She lifts weights with her brother and runs track with him to keep him company. He said she has one hell of a temper. I told him I wasn’t worried about that I live with Charlotte. I got my hand removed for that. Jasper of course laughed his ass off. I have never seen him so happy. This Bella chick must be good for him.

He has spoken to his other family at least once a day. Each person individually of course. He refused to talk to either Alice or Edward. He said he could feel Edwards sullenness through the phone and was feeling to good to deal with that shit. I had to agree with him on that one. Sadward was really depressing. I swear that boy was all gloom and doom. As for him not talking to Alice I can understand that also. The wounds were still raw and Bella isn’t around to help calm him down again. I will have to ask what her secret is.

 Rosalie and Emmett, Bella’s brother even drove up to visit. Boy was that interesting. Don’t get me wrong I think I could honestly like Emmett a lot he was a cool guy but his blood was singing to me like I just walked into a private concert. It took all my strength not to eat him. I don’t know how they can be so close to him. The Major reamed me a new one for trying to snack on him. Emmett on the other hand found it hilarious. Rosie the ice bitch didn’t care for it at all.

I have a feeling those two are going to be a sexual force to rival all others. If Jasper can’t be near them now when he is human I can only imagine what it is going to be like when he is a vampire. Good grief. They only stayed for the day and then headed out but even in that small amount of time the lust they were sending out, hell I could even feel it. The Major thought it was the funniest thing ever to bottle that lust up and then send it to me once the love birds left. Needless to say Charlotte was no where around. I spent the next three hours jerkin the gerkin. Once Char returned she was in so much trouble. She barely made it through the door and I was on her. The Major was laughing the whole time as I drug Char upstairs to our room. I vaguely remember the Major say he was going hunting for awhile.

 The following evening we discussed his little prank. He said he needs to do something with the emotions and I was the only mated being around that he could release it on. I reminded him of the three hour man to hand relationship I had going on before Char came home and that just caused both of them to laugh. I stood there dumb founded for a while and then whined like a school girl about how unfair it was. Which only caused more laughter. Finally I said the hell with it and stormed off into the woods.

 The Major caught up to me after awhile. He apologized for the lust fest. He explained that he couldn’t keep it bottled up or it would have only intensified until he couldn’t keep it in. He said it would have been even worse then the little he passed to me. To say I was shocked was a serious understatement. The Major never explained himself or his gift to anyone. I knew he could feel and manipulate emotions but I never knew what happen when he collects those emotions. I just assumed that he just let them go. I didn’t know he needed an outlet for those emotions. He explained that usually he would release his emotions through music. I knew he played the guitar but I never understood why. I just guessed everyone needed a hobby. What I didn’t know was that he used it to express his emotions. That explains a lot. I always got strange feelings when he played his music, it was like I could feel it. Now I know why. I could feel it.

 We hung out in the woods a lot over the next couple of days. Bella called again and they talked on the phone for several hours before I heard that Simon guy tell Bella she needed her rest. Who is that guy anyway? I figured my gift would help me out but it was like with this guy I was a complete blank. The Major found this amusing and said I must be defective. I of course took it to extremes and it ended in a massive wrestling match. Then we both felt the wrath of Charlotte. We managed to destroy the entire first floor of the house along with the back wall. When Char found us she said she was surprised we left the house standing. As punishment we were forced to repair the whole first floor, to Char’s specs. Needless to say we added an extra room and expanded the first floor bathroom and the living room. She made us add a fireplace to the main room of the house. She supervised as we built the fireplace brick by brick at human speed. She said it was a learning experience. The Major had no problem with this. He said he was used to it from being around Bella and Emmett for the last 2 yrs.

 I continued to pry for information on this Simon guy but Jasper wouldn’t budge. He said if I wanted to know I had to ask Bella or Simon himself. He asked if I could just know if Bella or Simon would tell me. I then had to explain to him that when it came to both Bella and Simon my gift seemed to be on the fritz. He seemed to think about this for a minute before he turned to me and smiled. He again rubbed it in that I was defective. I huffed and pouted. After a couple of hours of that Jasper decided to let me off the hook and said that the reason I couldn’t get a fix on Bella is because she is a shield. Well shit that explains a lot. He said he didn’t have to worry about her getting mad at him for telling me cause everyone already figured she was cause Melancholyward couldn’t read her mind. With that tidbit of info I about jumped through the roof. I told Jasper that once she was a vampire I hope she would kick his ass for him cause none of us could. He cheated with that mind reading bullshit, so he always knew what we were going to do before we did it. The only one who could ever get the jump on him was the Major. But I’m pretty sure it’s because when he is fighting he runs purely on instinct and doesn’t really think about what he is doing. He goes with what feels right.

 Two nights after Bella’s second call to Jasper she called again. Apparently it was good news cause Jasper was radiating some serious happy vibes. I was so fucking giddy I actually skipped out of the house. Yeah I know a vampire skipping is not normal. Char even had to leave the house to get away from the Happy Faerie that was strutting around our house, sprinkling that happy dust everywhere. I swear if I didn’t know any better that the Major would be doing cartwheels around the house and front yard. We finally pieced it together after we over heard a phone call between him and Emmett. Bella was coming home. She would be coming here first to pick us all up and then we were supposed to crash at her place for awhile, while we did some getting to know you family bonding shit. Don’t get me wrong I was happy that she was coming home and I can finally get to the bottom of all this mystery shit with her and Simon but if Jasper doesn’t chill out with the happy vibes I’m going to have to piss him off just so I can have a reprieve.

16 hours later we were waiting at the airport for Bella’s plane to land. Jasper was damn near bouncing on his heals. I told him he was acting like that little hyper pixie bitch and he stopped and growled at me. It was low enough that the people in the area wouldn’t hear but menacing enough for me to get the hint: Shut the hell up or I’ll rip you apart and hide the pieces. Yep that’s the Major for you. Suddenly he stopped everything and stood stock still looking toward the arrival gate. I watched as the smile grew on his face. I looked over and I couldn’t believe my eyes. She was the most enchanting creature I had ever seen, and that’s saying something. When he described Bella I never thought anything like this. The mental picture did not do her justice. She glided gracefully toward us. If I didn’t know any better I would say she was already a vampire. But her slow steady heartbeat said other wise. She stood about 5′ 11″, curves in all the right places, decent bust. Her hair was waist length, Mahogany in color with natural gold and red highlights. Her Chocolate almond shaped eyes were mesmerizing. She had pail skin maybe only a shade darker then ours. Her nose was small and fit her face well, her lips were plump and full. I swear if I wasn’t already mated with Charlotte I would fight the Major for her affections. I would die but hey I would try anyway. A low steady growl brought me from my ogling. The Major must have felt my lust. Oops. Soon enough though Bella saved me from sudden death as she glided into his arms. The growl turned into a purr of pure contentment. Wait a minute the Major just purred? Holy Hell. I have never ever in my hundred and thirty years heard the Major purr. I watched as she wrapped her delicate arms around his neck and threaded her petite fingers into his golden locks. She continued to run them through his hair as they said their hello’s and exchanged passionate pecks.

 I heard someone clear their throat and looked to see a man looking rather embarrassed at breaking up the couple. I watch from the sidelines as the Major and Bella broke apart but not completely. The Major kept his one arm securely wrapped around her waist as he shook the other man’s hand. They spoke in hushed tones and then suddenly Bella looked up. She made eye contact with me. I swear the Smile that girl gave me could have set me on fire. The warmth of her smile was contagious I couldn’t help but smile back. She turned her attention back to the Major and tapped his shoulder. He ducked his head slightly as she whispered into his ear. He quickly looked to me and smiled. Waving me over to join the conversation.

“Peter Please come join us. Peter this is My Bella.”

“Hello Peter” Bella Smiled at me again.

“Hello Miss Bella”

“This gentleman here is Simon. Simon this is my brother Peter.”

“Jasper there is no need for introductions I know exactly who Peter Whitlock is.” The man I now know as Simon said.

“You know who I am?”

“Yes Peter I know all about you and your mate Charlotte. Where is the lovely child I thought she would be here with you?”

“Charlotte opted to stay at the house and pack for our trip.”

“That was very kind of her.”

“Well shall we take this somewhere a little more private and Bella can tell me all about her trip to Italy.” Jasper interrupted.

“Sure”

“Peter do you mind if we spend the night at your place and take off tomorrow for home?” Bella asked me.

How could I refuse her with that smile.

“No problem Bella. You are probably tired from your trip.”

Jasper gave me the what-the-hell-got-into-you look. I shrugged and started walking out toward where the car was parked. It didn’t take us long to get back to the house. Charlotte was standing on the porch when we pulled up. I rushed to her side as soon as I turned the car off. Simon exited the passenger side of the car and greeted Charlotte. She would have blushed if she could have. He spoke to her in Latin which of course was Charlotte’s native language. I had no idea what he was saying. Soon they were lost in conversation. That was until the rear car door opened. Charlotte turned to the car to see Jasper stepping out. We watched as he turned slowly and offered his hand to Bella. She stepped carefully out of the vehicle. You couldn’t see her face because Jasper’s body blocked the way. Soon they both turned to face us. I felt and heard Char’s intake of breath when she finally got a good look at Bella. I heard her whisper under her breath “Oh my”.

“My sediments exactly sweetheart” I said to her.

Right on queue Bella’s famous blush graced her beautiful face. I should have known better she could hear us just fine.

“Charlotte love. This enchanting creature standing in front of you is none other then Miss Bella Swan. The captor of Major Jasper Whitlock’s heart and soul.” I told her.

Bella smiled at my wording and I swear Jasper just blushed.

“Hello Charlotte.” Bella said rather bashfully.

“Oh Bella, Welcome to our home, no need to be shy around us dear we are family.”

The moment Char said family Bella beamed one of her heat infused smiles. I heard Simon chuckle. I looked over at him as if to say what the fuck? He turned to me and replied

“You have seen nothing yet.”

I swear my mouth hit the floor.

“No way man. You’re a mind reader like Cryward?”

Bella burst out laughing.

“Did..you..just..call..Edward…Cryward..?”

“Yes Darlin’ I did. It fits.”

“Oh my god your right it does.”

With that said we all chuckled.

“Alright enough of this silliness. All of you get in the house. I’m sure Bella is hungry and tired.” Char chastised us.

“Yes Ma’am” Jasper and I both said at the same time. Causing Bella to chuckle again.

At hearing her laugh Jasper’s smile grew tenfold. This girl is really good for him. I can’t wait to get to know her. If she is as feisty as Jasper says this is going to be one interesting family.

We all sat around the living room while Charlotte made dinner with Bella. Bella and Simon would be the only ones eating but hey it was their way of bonding I guess. When I first heard that Simon was eating also I about shit. The questions running around my head were endless. Simon just shook his head at me and said he would explain everything later. Now was time to recoup and rest for tomorrow’s journey back to Forks. They ate quickly and Bella and Jasper cleaned up after wards. I laughed to myself watching the Major all domesticated and shit.

I saw Simon watching me shaking his head. I looked at him and he nodded toward the back door. We both got up and headed outside. We walked for a while out into the forest. I know he was just trying to make sure that no one else could hear our conversation but the further away we walked the more nervous I got. Something about the vampire walking next to me instilled a sense of awe and fear. I know Jasper said he trusts him with both his and Bella’s life, but this vampire makes me rethink being out here alone with him. What if he kills me and burns the pieces? What will that do to Char? Will Jasper avenge me? I heard chuckling come from next to me. Damn it I forgot he was a mind reader. He just heard everything I just thought.

“Peter my son you have nothing to fear from me. I will not hurt someone who will mean so much to my daughter. She loves you so much already. I would also never leave Charlotte with out her mate, or Jasper without his brother.”
