"Unfaithful" Chapter 1: The Southerner

From the time Edward popped the question, my life had changed drastically. I loved Edward, I really did, but we'd grown apart. It was as if he was constantly turning our relationship on and off at his convenience.

Sure, Edward was a good man; he was finishing medical school to become a doctor, just like his dad. We hardly ever argued, and most of all: he loved me…but we were missing something that I simply couldn't identify.

I would drive myself insane trying to fix our broken relationship before I lost him, but it seemed as if I were the only one trying here, and who wants to be in a relationship all by themselves?

"Bella, we're going to be late." His melodic voice rang, breaking me out of my thoughts. I glanced up to see him in front of the mirror, ready to go. I'd been sitting at the edge of the bed for Lord knows how long. Before I could answer him, he was out of the room with our bags. I took a deep breath and glanced at my reflection. I was wearing a simple black wrap dress with some Mary Jane's that my darling future sister-in-law sent me.

Tonight we were heading back to Washington to "officially" announce our engagement. Alice, Edward's twin, made it her duty to make it into such a huge fiesta, inviting everyone we'd ever known.

I simply hated these things, but somehow Alice convinced me to do it. She'd said that Edward hadn't seen some friends and family in a while and it would make him happy. She'd said to me, "You're such a loving fiancé, and you have to do this for him."

Edward was waiting patiently at the bottom of the steps watching the clock as I attempted to make my way down the steps without Clumsy Bella making an appearance.

"Remind me to thank your sister properly for the outfit when I see her." I said once I made it down the stairs.

"You look beautiful, Love." He said, giving my cheek a quick peck before heading to the door. I followed behind as quickly as I could and into the car.

Edward and I both were admitted to Dartmouth and as a gift to the both of us, his parents bought us a house not too far from campus. They occasionally dropped by to spend a weekend now and then.

The flight to Washington was quiet. Once we landed, we rented a car and headed straight to Edward's parent's house. When we walked into the backyard everyone began cheering and clapping. Edward kissed my cheek and wrapped his arm around my waist. The first person to make it over to us was his older brother Emmett.

"Congratulations, Baby Sis, and good luck being married to such a prude." He whispered, hugging me, then punching Edward on the arm. Edward rubbed his arm and pouted.

"Hey Em." he grunted.

"I must say, you're lucky for getting Bella to say yes to-" He was cut off by an upset Esme.

"That's enough Emmett, be nice to your brother. It's his big day." Edward's mother, Esme scolded.

"Prissy pants." Emmett whispered, causing me to laugh.

"Oh Bella, you look gorgeous tonight. I'm so happy to see you." Esme said, hugging me with a bright smile on her face. "And congratulations to you two, I wish you all the happiness in the world." She finished, taking our hands and placing them together. Edward kissed his mother's cheek and thanked her. Then it was Carlisle's turn to congratulate us, and then he whisked Edward up to his study for a chat, leaving me all alone.

I took the time to take in the scenery and I was amazed at Alice's efforts. There was a tent with a stage and dance floor set up; the tables were candlelit with bouquets of wild orchids serving as the center pieces in hues of pink, purple, and white; the stage was set up in front of the lake, giving the event a very intimate aura.

"Bella!" Alice squeaked.

"Hey Ali, you really outdid yourself tonight." I said sincerely.

"Really? You mean you like it?" She asked, her emerald eyes wide like two saucers.

"Thanks for talking me into it." I replied.

"Oh Bella," she said, hugging me tightly. "You're the best, and I can't wait until you become my sister-in-law."

"Uhhhh… me either." I replied, not knowing how to respond to her.

"Oh, I have to go check on the cake! Sit here and I'll be right back." Before I could reply she'd taken off into the house.

I sat down at the empty table and began fiddling with the centerpiece.

"Looks like you're having a blast, Darlin'." A hypnotic voice rang out, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"It's not really my thing." I replied, watching as he sat across from me. His silky, golden hair was cropped and he was wearing a button up shirt with a pair of slacks and leather boots. His lips seemed so soft, and his eyes left me breathless with just one look. He was beautiful…and I was in trouble.

"That makes two of us" he replied with the sexiest smirk I'd ever seen. I was having an internal panic attack just from a simple smile. He made me nervous and I had no idea why; my palms were clammy, my mouth was dry, and my heart was beating out of control.

What the hell is wrong with me?

"I'm Jasper, by the way, Darlin'."

"I'm Bella." I replied. Jasper arched an eyebrow as his lips curled into a seductive smile.

"Bella is a beautiful name." I had to look away to hide my shame. My panties were so soaked and I was worried if it would leave a mark. All I could think about was how juicy his lips looked; how badly I yearned to feel them all over my body.

Bella you're engaged to Edward…..dammit. He was making me secretly regret that decision.

"I'm sorry if I'm making you feel uncomfortable." He said, breaking me out of my thoughts once more, his smile at bit mischievous.

"Huh…oh…n-n-no you're not." I stammered, wanting to shoot myself. I heard a chuckle come from him and he quickly began to cough to try to hide his amusement. I downed the rest of my wine.

"You know, you don't have to lie to me. If I make you feel uncomfortable, then I am truly sorry…I just couldn't help myself." I smiled, finally looking up at him. I didn't stand a chance against his Southern Charm.

"It's fin-"

"Oh good! The two of you have met already." Alice squeaked, sitting on his lap. Jasper's face was priceless.

"Bella, this is Jazz, my future husband and Edward's best friend. Jazz, this is Bella, Edward's fiancée." I wanted to curl into a deep, dark hole and die. I took a glance at him to see he was watching me in amazement. His jaw was slightly open. Alice giggled and shut his mouth.

"Jazz, it's not polite to stare. Say something to the Guest of Honor, don't be rude." She scolded.

"Uhhh… congratulations? " He paused, and then began laughing to himself. "Edward is one lucky bastard." He sighed, shaking his head.

"Bella, please excuse his manners, his mother died when he was ten." She said, leaning over and whispering.

"Really, Alice?" Jasper asked, offended. He pushed her off his lap, his face hard as he watched her.

"What? It's the truth." She shrugged.

"So you two are dating?" I asked, feeling like an idiot.

"Yeah." Alice replied.

"No." Jasper answered at the same time, clearly irritated.

"Wait…which one is it?" Why was I so interested?

"Ugh! OK, no we're not dating…yet!" She exclaimed in frustration. "But one day we will, I had a dream about it. I had ring and all." She continued matter-of-factly. Jasper rolled his eyes.

"Do you feel my pain right now?" He asked. I couldn't help but giggle as Alice stared at her vacant finger.

"One day, Jasper, you will learn to love me. You'll see." She said, getting up and kissing his cheek. "You two play nice while I'm gone." She said before walking away.

"This is why I avoid these things." He grumbled, downing his glass of wine, and then eyeing the bar.

"Would you like a drink, Darlin'? I see your glass is empty."

"Um… a glass of chardonnay would be great."

"Coming right up." He said, winking before walking away.

"Hey, there you are." Edward stated, almost startling me. "Are you enjoying yourself, Love?" He smiled and sat beside me.

"Yes."

"Here you go, Darlin'." Jasper said with a bright smile.

"Thank you, Jasper." I replied.

"Jasper…what are you doing here?" Edward asked, standing up. Jasper walked over and they hugged.

"I'm back." Jasper replied.

"The last I heard you were in Iraq and wouldn't be back until next year." Edward said incredulous, as he sized him up. Edward sat back down and wrapped his arm around me. Jasper shook his head and chuckled in response.

"I was discharged. Been back home for the last two weeks."

"Well, where are you staying?" Edward asked.

"At the old ranch I'm-" He began, but cut off as Edward shook his head.

"Why don't you come stay with us? I'll pull some strings at the hospital and get you a job."

"Sure. As long as your little lady doesn't mind." Jasper answered, looking at me with a smile. There was a long pause as they stared at me.

"Why not?"I answered. Edward smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Isn't she amazing?" Edward asked Jasper.

"You're one lucky ass bastard." Jasper replied, raising his glass of Jack before drinking it.

Not long after that, Alice took the stage and presented a PowerPoint presentation on why Edward and I were so perfect for each other, then dinner was served. Once the main course was cleared, everyone headed to the dance floor.

"Ain't no sense in pouting, Darlin'." Jasper said, stretching his hand out. I quickly shook my head, terrified.

"I can't dance." I stated.

Jasper laughed. "Aww… come on, Darlin', before Alice prances her little ass over here."

"No, I seriously can't dance." I said, shaking my head once more.

"I bet you can. Dancing is all about having the right partner." He quickly glanced at Edward then bent down so close that his lips grazed my searing ear. He smelled like vanilla musk with a hint of citrus and honey, a scent that I could never get enough of.

"And judging from what I see, you haven't found him yet." I was speechless as I felt a chill down my spine. "Come on." He said pulling me to my feet. "And take off your shoes." I quickly obeyed and followed him onto the dance floor. Jasper had a smirk on his face as he took my hand, placed the other on the small of my back, then pulled me to him, lifting me onto his feet and began dancing, just as graceful as the rest of the Cullens. I couldn't help but smile.

"I'm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me"

He sang softly in my ear, turning me to mush.

"You know, this is cheating." I said once the song was over. Jasper didn't reply; he seemed distant. I stepped off his feet to put some distance between us; his scent was driving me insane. I began to laugh.

"Alright, fine." He said, pulling me to him once more. "Just don't think about it, Darlin'. Just follow my every move." He said as we began moving slowly. Once I got the hang of it, we began to move to the beat. I couldn't help the grin on my face.

"I'm dancing!" I exclaimed.

"Like I said, it's all about having the right partner." He replied, dipping me. I was speechless as I became lost in his ocean blue eyes.

"You're beautiful, Jasper." I said without thinking.

"You don't even know me, Bella." He replied harshly. I stopped dancing and looked him in the eye.

"That hard façade you're trying to portray doesn't fool me. The Jasper I see just wants to be loved and understood." He was about to say something but was cut off as Edward approached us.

"Come on, Love, time to go." Edward interrupted. Jasper still had his grip on me, so I kissed his cheek, wiggled out of his grip, and walked over to my fiancé to say my goodbyes. Every so often, I glanced over to see Jasper watching, standing on the spot where I'd left him.

A/N:

So as you can see I'm back! I'm so sorry for leaving but I just had to. I hope you all can accept my apology. I've missed ff sooooooo much and just couldn't wait to get this out!

I just want to say thank you to my incredible beta VegaTenshi for being so darn awesome and helping make this chap the best it can be. She also picked the song which is here without you by 3 Doors Down.

The other person I'd like to thank is Wendy, for giving me the motivation. I love you hun!
