twilight imagines.

secret love (j. hale)

jasper took a seat in his usual chair of the lunchroom with a heavy sigh.
though it was as full as it always had been with his family,
it was beginning to feel lonesome without y/n.
but it wasn't until he looked up across the cafeteria to meet her eyes that he realized just how empty he was without her.
she was surrounded by her usual group of friends,
but he could tell she would prefer the empty seat next to him.
y/n gave him a small smile then turned to the conversation around her.
jasper burned the image of her smile in the back of his mind,
then laid his eyes on the repulsive school food in front of him with a gentle smile of his own.
he remembered the night before with y/n,
when they laid as one in the comfort of her own room.
he relished in the echoes of her laughter and the tenderness of her lips against his.
he kept his head down as he felt the yearning for her lips burn his chest.
he took in a deep breath to calm his thoughts then looked up at his family again,
falling to edward's knitted eyebrows.
oh, shit.
jasper thought,
making edward chuckle quietly.
let me explain.
edward got his mental message and nodded just enough for jasper to see,
then turned his attention elsewhere.
the boy decided his thoughts of y/n would have to wait until edward was out of reach,
though he wasn't quite sure it'd be possible.

"y/n?"
edward asked once they were out of earshot,
which happened to the be in the midst of the woods.
"it's...complicated."
"you do know her brother is vladimir, right? of the-"
"i know who she's kin to, edward. but notice how she's in five forks and not in romania with them?"
edward pondered the thought for a moment,
"and why is that?"
"like i said...complicated."
edward sat back against the log,
signaling jasper to go on.
"fine. she has similar qualities to alice. except she can only see her distinct future. and somehow it led her here."
"so...she basically found you because she envisioned it?"
jasper only nodded his head then shoved his hands in the front of his pockets.
"interesting..."
"edward, don't-don't tell anyone."
"do you think you two will come around sometime soon?"
"doubt it. y/n's not too keen on the idea."
rosalie.
jasper thought,
making edward laugh breathlessly.
"right. well, i hope you'll remind her just how welcoming we are,"
edward finished,
letting his eyes fall to the scars that littered jaspers arms.
and with that,
edward left.
jasper sighed but began making his way to y/n's,
feeling the excitement pump through him with each step.
immediately upon his entrance,
y/n threw her arms around him and inhaled his earthly scent.
"i missed you,"
she whispered into the crook of his neck.
he held her close then laid a kiss to her temple.
"as i missed you."
y/n pulled back to run her hands down jasper's chiseled and beautiful face,
making him grin.
"just can't keep your hands off me, can you?"
he teased,
making her giggle.
"can you blame me?"
jasper adored the faint hint of the romanian accent in her tone.
"not at all,"
he agreed and let his hand cup the small of her back,
where he pulled her in closer to his lips.
she smiled that flawless smile,
"so eager, aren't you?"
"it's been too long,"
he whispered while his lips brushed hers.
she laughed airily then closed the space,
letting their bodies fill with the electrifying pulse that always came from kissing one another.
y/n's head flooded with ecstasy while jasper became dizzy with warmth.
jasper's tongue teased the entrance of y/n's lips before he pulled back reluctantly,
caressing her soft cheek with the back of his index finger.
"tease,"
she said with a giggle.
"i want you to meet my family."
y/n backed up from jasper,
"you know i can't."
"y/n, they don't hate you. you've got to understand that."
"they certainly don't like me either, jasper. i hear how rosalie talks about me or-or how weary alice looks when i walk past."
"y/n-"
"jasper, you don't get it!"
y/n's anger was heightening as she began to imagine the disastrous evening that would come of meeting the cullen family.
but before she could continue yelling,
jasper sought out to calm her with his mood stabilizing.
she sighed and relaxed into the couch near her,
running her hands through her hair.
"i'm scared,"
she admitted with watery eyes.
jasper relaxed next to her and wrapped an arm around her,
pulling her to his chest where she could lay at peace.
and so she did,
the serenity washing over her as jasper laid still beneath her.
his fingers traced small circles against her arm,
"you're not your brother, you know. i fell in love with you, and so will they."
y/n looked up at him with a faint smile,
"you did, huh?"
he nodded,
"i sure did."
he let his lips fall to hers for moment,
where the bliss could be found filling his chest.
as y/n decided that she would meet the cullen family,
images flashed in her head of the evening.
aside from rosalie's death stare,
jasper had been right after all.
they loved y/n and were all too welcoming.
"alright, i'll do it,"
y/n spoke with her teeth sinking into her bottom lip.
admiring her nervous habit,
jasper laid a quick peck to the tip of her nose where she scrunched it instinctively.
"i'll be there the whole time."
"yeah? with your little mood effecting thing,"
she joked with a playful eye roll.
jasper chuckled and nudged her shoulder,
"you love it."

y/n and jasper soon found themselves at the front door of the cullen house,
where y/n writhed in anticipation.
jasper laced his hand with hers and gave it a quick squeeze,
reassuring her everything would be okay.
upon their entry,
alice beamed with excitement and wrapped y/n in her arms.
"i knew you'd be here eventually. it's so good to see you."
y/n laughed sheepishly,
"you, too. also, i love the outfit!"
alice twirled around to showcase it,
"i'm glad you like it. i have a million outfit choices for you to choose from!"
"alice,"
jasper warned with a light chuckle,
making alice step back some.
edward took y/n's hand and shook it,
"nice to finally meet you, y/n."
"likewise!"
the whole family crowded around y/n,
welcoming her with open arms and making her feel giddy with delight.
though there was a person missing,
y/n continued to flourish in the homely feeling of the cullens.

once their evening came to an end,
esme wrapped y/n tight in her arms and whispered a soft,
"thank you. thank you for making him happy again."
y/n could feel her still heart swelling with enamor for jasper,
making her squeeze esme with love.
"if only you knew how happy he makes me,"
y/n whispered back with a laugh.
the girl could see the tears brimming in esme's eyes,
making her heart heavy.
"don't cry-"
"i'm just....happy. that's all, love. i promise, they're happy tears."
y/n giggled and wiped a stray tear from esme's cheek,
then set off back to her house with jasper in hand.

y/n fell into her mattress and breathed in habitually,
"see, i told you they'd love you,"
jasper began as he slithered his body between y/n's legs to hover over her.
"you did,"
she agreed while running her hands down his torso.
he grinned and lowered his head to hers,
letting their lips come together as one.
jasper had never known love until the day y/n stepped foot in his life.
and now here he laid,
his body coiling with the girl he seemed destined for.
and not having to keep their relationship a secret anymore was pure elation to jasper.
he was free to love the girl made for him,
and there was no greater feeling than the love before him.
