Chapter 02:

BPOV

There is absolutely no way a vampire could be here. It was way too bright. I would be able to see them hiding from a mile away. Unless they were in a cave. Or buried underground. Or inside a living room with the shades closed watching TV. Okay so maybe vampires could be around.

I heard a scream and looked up from the couch where I was trying to read. Yep. Emma had her bikini top tore off by Tim and was running after him acting like she didn’t like being topless.

I hated her breasts.

At least I hated that they weren’t mine. Bitch. Still I wasn’t exactly hurting in that department. I was pretty proud of my girls. But not like that bitch.

“Bella! Let’s go.”

I turned and saw my perky little ho roommate walking down the stairs in a string bikini. I mean seriously. I get that this is spring break but people eat in this house.

“Where are we going Heather?”

“We are all going on the party barge Brett rented. He’s pulling it up now.”

“I think I will stay in. Thanks though.”

“Whatever Bella. It wouldn’t kill you to get some sun. I swear you act like you are trying to be a vampire or something.” Heather walked out.

“Am not.” I mumbled. I can’t tan. Why does no one get this?

“Hey Bella.” Great. Brett just walked in. Now he is sitting by me. Very close to me. He smelled like tanning lotion. He was a good looking guy. 6 feet tall. Dark curly hair, blue eyes, muscles in the right places. Not overly muscled. I hate that. Still though. Not looking for a boyfriend.

“Hey Brett. Are you having fun?” I gave him a sweet smile. I wasn’t a bitch. Not a complete bitch anyway. One of these days I may get bored and decide to procreate with one of these idiots. I shouldn’t burn bridges.

“Yeah I got a two story party barge. Those damn things are hard to rent this week. We are all heading to Copper Canyon. You’re coming right?”

“Uh… No. I think I will probably stay in.” I told him, hoping he wouldn’t press this issue.

“This is Spring Break Bella. You kind of have to go out to get the full experience.”

“I think I will take the preview. But thanks. I appreciate the invite.” I smiled again.

“Okay…” Brett reluctantly got up and walked outside. Cynthia walked down the stairs. Good Lord am I the only one who has an actual swimsuit bottom that covers my ass? She doesn’t even have that great of an ass. Mine is better.

“Bella, Ty wanted to know if you could go up to his room. He says he needs to talk to you about something.”

Great. Please tell me he didn’t see a sparkly girl outside his window.

I walked fairly quickly up the stairs. I didn’t bother knocking because he asked me to come up. If he wanted me to come up to his room he must want it quiet…

“Holy shit!” I threw my hands over my eyes but I couldn’t get rid of the vision of naked Ty behind naked Julie who was on all fours on the bed. Thank God he was behind her.

“Hi Bella!”

“Hi Julie… uh Ty, Cynthia said you wanted to talk to me?” Keep your eyes closed Bella.

“Yeah I wasn’t expecting you to come right up girl. Let me finish up here. Give me a minute.”

“I’ll… I’ll wait outside.”

“Nah its cool girl. I’m almost there.”

“I’ll be outside Ty!”

I could hear him laughing as I closed the door. Asshole.

A few minutes later Julie walked out, smiled at me and ran giggling to the girls room. I get to share a room with her tonight. Assuming she would be in her own bed. I can’t believe her dad is a minister.

“Hey Bella? You still there?”

I walked slowly in and saw Ty had at least pulled on a swim suit.

“Hey Ty. Thanks for that. I hadn’t seen any live sex shows today. I was beginning to lose hope.”

“Bella don’t even mention it. You ever get worried about that you come talk to big brother. We can find a honey and you can watch me pound her for hours. One of these days you are gonna be my agent and help me pick up mamas all night. I’m talkin pro groupies Bella. Not the college level we are currently playin now. Classy, ya know?” He winked at me. Asshole.

“What do you want Ty?”

“Have you seen her?” He asked suddenly serious, and glancing towards the window. I immediately got tense.

“No. Have you?”

“Nah, but I found this letter in my bag. It must have been put there before we left. How that crazy bitch snuck into my room…”

I took the letter and read it.

‘Can’t wait to have fun on Spring Break at the Lake. You are going to love my new bikini. I stole it just for you. Love, Bree.’

“Well this isn’t good.” I said quietly.

“I know right? She isn’t just a stalker. She’s a shoplifter too.”

I looked at Ty for a few minutes wondering what the hell was going on in his head and then decided I didn’t want to know.

“Ty, I think shoplifting is the least of your concerns. Look this girl is obviously a…”

Damn it. Would he believe me? I mean he did have clues but still. No. He wouldn’t believe me.

“A what Bella? Give it to me straight. I can take it. What is she?”

“Probably a homicidal lunatic. Have fun with this Ty.” I handed him back the letter.

“Whoa! You said you had my back.”

“I do. In the back is exactly where I plan to stay. That’s where you should be too. Look a girl like this isn’t going to take no for an answer and if she does you won’t like her response to no. If you really want my help we need to get out of here. Now. While it is bright. Get a rental car and get the hell out of here. As far away as possible.”

“And go where? She knows where I live. Screw this. I ain’t runnin from her. You aren’t either. We are gonna take this head on.”

“Me? Why can’t I run?”

“Because you’re my baby sister. Blood sticks together.”

“I’m four months older than you Ty.” I pointed out.

“Yeah but you about a foot shorter so I’m the big brother. You want to be the oldest? Fine. Beat up the hood rat when she comes to pick on your little brother. C’mon Bella. You’re my crew. You’re the only one I trust. The only one I really trust outside of my Mom. I need you by my side.”

Damn it.

“Fine. We stay. But do not go off alone in the dark. Stay inside or around other people when you are out.”

“No worries. You gonna be with me the whole time anyway. Now get your bikini on. We are goin for a boat ride to Copper Canyon. Do a little cliff jumpin.”

“I’m not going.”

“Yeah. You are.”

“No. I’m not.” I said firmly. Like he can talk me into doing something I don’t…

“We are going to be doing body shots.” He whispered softly in my ear.

Oh. Well that changes things. But…

“Patron…” he continued. I whimpered.

“Silver?” I asked quietly.

“Yep.”

“No. No, no, no. I don’t really like cliff jumping. Had a bad experience with it once.”

“So it’s time to have some good experiences. I got the good stuff for after. Blue Dream.”

“Pot is bad for you Ty. Don’t they drug test you guys? How the hell do you smoke?”

“They only test during the season. Besides you know we only do this once in a while. Guess what? It’s once in a while.”

I should not go. This is the kind of activity that gets talked about at high school assemblies as a warning to other kids. Do not do body shots, cliff dive and then smoke weed kids. It’s bad. Very bad. Bad, bad, bad.

“So you in?”

“I’ll get a sunburn?” I tried.

“I’ll make sure your nose is covered. I got a straw hat in the closet there for you.” He was smiling now.

“Please Bella…”

“Shut up… just shut up… you had me at Patron.” I gave up. Vampires, werewolves? No problem. Body shots however were my mortal enemy.

“Ty, you cannot let me do anything stupid.”

“Wouldn’t dream of it. You know I got your back. Now get ready. We are leaving in five minutes.”

I would be responsible. I was just going to make sure Ty wasn’t alone. And for Tequila.

Jasper POV

I expected to find Bella running from something. Screaming. She was definitely screaming. I heard my phone go off.

“What’s up bitch?”

“Civilized as usual Jasper. Have you found Bella?”

“Yep. I’m in my truck near a cliff looking at her right now.” I grinned.

“I can’t see her in my visions. I was worried.”

“I don’t think she is exactly making any decisions at the moment Alice.”

Unless she consciously decided to stand on top of a two story barge in a string bikini and a cowboy hat screaming that she was a golden goddess.

This was probably more spontaneous.

“Have you seen any vampires?”

“Alice it is 95 degrees outside. Not a tree around here. I haven’t been able to leave my truck. I haven’t seen any sparkles if that is what you mean.” Except for those ones on that brunette’s bikini top.

I heard Bella scream again. I looked up and saw a large black man had grabbed her and jumped into the water. Her hat flew off.

“So what is Bella doing?” Alice asked.

“Oh, you know. Being Bella. Sitting under an umbrella and reading a book or some such shit.”

They both emerged and Bella grabbed her hat that was floating on the water.

“Does she look miserable?”

“I don’t know. Let me check.”

Bella climbed back on board and laid down on a table top. An extremely tanned blonde girl in a thong and half tee just did a body shot off of Bella. Now Bella was returning the favor.

“Yep. She looks miserable as hell.”

“I knew it. If she would just stop being so damn hard headed and take Edward back she could be happy.”

“Hey look! A ghetto bird!” The large black man pointed to the sky and I saw a police helicopter. They must be doing routine checks of the area.

Now everyone was waiving and the girls were flashing the chopper. Bella just flashed the chopper and screamed that she didn’t want her Daddy to know about this.

I had to laugh. This bitch was crazy.

“What’s going on now?”

“Oh Bella is just saying hi to some of her Dad’s coworkers. Being nice to everybody. You know how Bella is.”

“Yes… now do not approach her until the vampi… Jasper you are not going to do that! Stay away from her Jasper. I’m warning you…”

I ended the call. If it was pissing her of my plan must work. Just needed the desert sun to go down and for Bella to still be conscious.

I sat at the top of the cliff in my truck and watched for the next few hours. She finally stopped taking body shots. She was laid out on a tanning chair on her stomach with her eyes closed. A dark haired white guy tried to start rubbing lotion on her shoulders even though judging by the lack of a sunburn she must have plenty on already.

The big black guy just grabbed the white guy and pushed him off. Bella never moved so I guess she was asleep. Then the big black guy covered her with a beach towel. I wonder if this was a boyfriend? He didn’t act like one but it was obvious he was protective over her. Have to keep an eye on that. This girl was too much fun not to get to know better.

I had to pull away when I saw the boat go to shore and the line of spring breakers heading to the top of the cliff. I parked at the end of the parking lot though. I wanted to get a closer look at her. She finally came up with her friends. She was wearing a barely there dark red bikini that was strapless. She looked amazing. Thin body, firm ass, perky tits and smooth skin. Her face looked more relaxed than the last time I saw her. Of course that could be because she drained a gallon of tequila. She had that straw cowgirl hat on. I got hard just looking at her. Yeah. I was right the first time I saw her.

She didn’t belong with Edward. He could never handle the real her. She belonged with me.

She turned around to face the water and I saw she had another surprise. A tattoo on her lower back. Only two words written in blood red calligraphy. ‘No Biting.’

“Yeah. We will see about that little lady.” I whispered to myself. Bella was laughing at her friends who were running and screaming when they suddenly realized they were speeding towards water at a high rate of speed.

The black guy was trying to talk Bella into jumping. She refused. I remember the last time this happened. Alice thought Bella was dead. We all came back. Edward decided she would kill herself without him. She told him to fuck off.

Good times.

Finally they grabbed each other’s hands. Bella left her hat on the ground and they jumped.

My phone rang.

“Not dead Alice. Just havin fun. Later.”

I hung up before she could say a word. I was having a nice moment. Her voice would only ruin it.

I looked down and saw Bella had surfaced. Thirty minutes later and the guys including Bella’s potential boyfriend, or my potential snack, came up and grabbed belongings. They walked back down and I saw their boat float away. Guess I should head to the lake house they are supposed to be at. See where they go. Say hi.

If I wasn’t sure I wanted her before I was sure after seeing her today. This was the real Bella Edward never would have allowed to come out. This was the woman I wanted. I would play fair. I wouldn’t manipulate her emotions. I wouldn’t play games like Edward. I had known form our brief encounters though. She wanted me as well.

Who was I to tell a lady no?

BPOV

These were the greatest cheeseburgers in the history of cheeseburgers. I was on my second, downing them like a wolf. So they probably weren’t that great. But when you spent all day drinking, swimming climbing cliffs and then possibly smoking a joint any food was the greatest food ever.

“Bella when you finish that cow you are trying to swallow whole we need to get to the boat docks. That’s where the big party is gonna be.” Ty said.

“We need to stay in Ty.” I mumbled around my food.

“No. You said we needed to be around other people. If we are alone here how is that gonna help? Bitch can already sneak into my room. You think this house is gonna be a problem for a shoplifter? They are sneaky bastards, Bella. Can’t trust a lifter.”

I sighed. He was right. I did say stay around people. It was getting dark. That bitch would have free reign.

Shit.

“Sides you can get started on your agent training and help me pick out some hotties to bring back. Hell if you want maybe we can find you a couple of ballas. But keep the booze and hood scratch on the back right now. That place is gonna be mad bait. Covered in bacon. You got me?”

Uh…

“Ty, what the fuck are you talking about?”

Ty took a deep breath .

“Bella please accompany me to the party so I may find some female companionship and you could also possibly obtain a romantic liaison. However we will have to be careful about partaking in alcohol and marijuana because there is a high likelihood that police will be monitoring the area carefully looking for violators of the law. That better?”

“I think I understood you better the first time.” I admitted.

“C’mon girl. We get back you can watch me drunk dial your mom. Maybe your dad to.”

An hour later and we were in… there really was no words to describe this. The water couldn’t be seen because of the boats. You could literally walk across the lake on boat decks. A rock band was playing on a set up stage in the lake. Stages were set up on shore. A wet t shirt contest was going on. Looked like a lap dance contest on the other side. The place did indeed seem to be covered in bacon. But the police seemed to look the other way since everybody seemed to be drinking something. I hadn’t drank in four hours. My head was starting to hurt. Nothing worse than a premature hangover. I needed tequila.

I followed everyone to a portable table where Brett and Ty were laying out liquor. Mmmm. Patron. A few shots just to stave off the premature hangover. Hangovers should always be dealt with in the morning. I needed to stay somewhat sober tonight though. I had vampires to look out for.

I needed to get drunk. I had vampires to look out for.

A couple nice young men asked me to flash my tits. I flashed them the fingers. Boys. I mean if they were cops in a helicopter that might be a different story. Or Astronauts. I would definitely flash an Astronaut. But other than those two occupations… probably a firefighter as well. I mean who am I kidding? A firefighter? Of course. He would have to be one of those hot calendar type firefighters though. Not the ones with thick mustaches and large bellies.

“Hey, my name is Luke.”

I turned and saw a very large white guy. Very large.

“Hi Luke.”

“I play D line for Arizona. Come hang out with me.”

I let the laugh out before I could bring it back in.

“Something funny?”

“Yeah. That’s your pick up line? I play D line? That get you a lot of girls?”

He looked confused.

“Uh… yeah. Pretty much every time.”

“You’re going to have to come up with something better for me. Sorry.”

I turned to walk away when I felt his large meaty hand on my shoulder. Damn where is Ty?

“Hey come here. I want to talk… son of a bitch!”

His hand was no longer holding my shoulder. I turned and saw he was on one knee. A slim guy in a cowboy hat and blue jeans was standing over him. He had Luke’s arm twisted nearly completely around.

“You want to keep that arm to play D Line, you better learn not to touch a lady who don’t want to be touched. Understand boy?”

Luke said nothing but nodded his head quickly in the affirmative. He looked like he was in pain. That must hurt. This guy must be 280. How the hell was this guy doing that? He let go of Luke’s wrist and turned to me.

Oh damn.

He just grinned. Control your emotions Bella. Don’t let him feel… that.

“Jasper?”

JPOV

I could feel her lust spike the moment she saw my face. I could feel mine as well. I forgot how damn good she smelled. I didn’t forget the smell of her blood though. She cuts herself this time I’m just gonna turn her.

“Hello Bella. It’s good to see you again.”

“What are you doing here?” I laughed a little inside. For a girl who supposedly had nightmares about me according to Alice that wasn’t fear she was staring at me with.

“Can we go somewhere and talk?” I asked.

She nodded her head.

She walked away from the crowd and I followed. Once we were away from the crowd a bit I asked her to follow me to my truck. I popped the tailgate down and we sat facing each other.

“Look couple things you should know first. Alice and I divorced. She blamed me for making you too afraid to take Edward back.”

“That’s bullshit!”

“I know, but I am sorry for trying to bit…”

“Fuck it Jasper. You’re a vampire, I’m a human, I bled you were hungry. Totally understandable. Not a big deal. I was never angry at you.”

I let out a breath. Despite knowing Alice was full of shit I was still a bit worried about this.

“Thanks Bell…”

“I honestly don’t know why you bother anyway.” She said more to herself.

“Bother with what?”

“The whole thing. You’re a vampire. Trust me I have thought about this and if I was a vampire you better believe I wouldn’t be drinking from animals and going to high school.”

If she ever asks me the moment I fell in love with her, I would be able to tell her about this moment.

“So you look different. I guess I know why now.” She said.

“Different?”

“Yeah. The boots, the jeans, the hat. It suits you. You look more like you.” She smiled.

“Thanks. You are lookin pretty damn good yourself.”

There was that shy smile. No blush though. Good. Glad I fed before coming here. I had an idea daily feedings were going to be required from this point on at least till I talked her into letting me bite her.

“So you were telling me what you were doing here?”

What? Oh yeah.

“Yeah. Alice saw a vampire she didn’t know coming to face you. She couldn’t see anything after that. Since she knew you would be pissed if her or Eddie came and Carlisle and Esme are in London and Rose won’t give Emmett his balls back so he can come, she called me. Figured if I showed up to save the day you would forgive me and let Eddie back into her life.” I shrugged my shoulders.

“That bitch.” She whispered.

“Yep.”

“So she can’t just save me. She has to make sure it happened in a way she thinks I would take Edward back. That fucking bitch.”

“Yep.” No point in disagreeing.

“So why did you do it? Why did you agree to come if she left you? Why do her a favor?” Bella asked staring at me.

“I didn’t do it as a favor to her. I came because I wanted to come see you and it gave me the excuse I needed.”

“Why did you want to see me?” Anybody else would have been afraid I came to finish the job of draining her. Not her. She was feeling… hopeful?

“I wanted to meet you.”

“I think we have met Jasper.” She laughed.

“No. I met the perfect human girlfriend you were trying to be for Edward. You met the perfect human vampire I was trying to be for Alice. The only time we ever really met each other was in those glances we gave each other when we thought no one was watching. I want to get to know you. The real you. The one I see now in a cowboy hat, cutoffs and a very tiny top.”

“Why?” she asked again softly. Still staring.

“Because you have always fascinated me. I fucking want you. I think if you got to know me that you might want me too. I want to find out if there was any more to those stolen glances we gave each other. So I came here to get to know you.”

“Not for a vampire?” she didn’t seem offended. That was a good thing.

“Nah. That was just the excuse I needed. I can kill a vampire in seconds and you would never have known I was here. So what about it? Want to get to know me?”

“Yeah.” She nodded.

“Good. Now about this pesky vampire. You have any idea who it might be?”

“Oh yeah. I know.”

That was a surprise.

“How did you get wrapped up in her?”

“I didn’t. Her name is Bree something. My friend Ty? Tall black guy? He had sex with her and now she is stalking him.”

Friend. Good to know. I guess Ty gets to live. Wait…

“He fucked her?!”

“Yeah. Crazy right?”

“So why would you get involved?”

“Ty is my best friend. I’m not gonna let him be alone in this.”

I nodded. Figured as much.

“So does he know what she is?”

“No. I didn’t know how to tell him that he would believe me. He just thinks she is a really cold shoplifting stalker.”

“So where is your friend?”

“He’s back…” Bella looked towards the lake shore but stopped when she heard the scream.

“BELLA!”

The scream came from our right in a small wooded area behind the parking lot.

“Oh shit. That’s Ty.” Bella ran towards the woods. Of course she did.
