Chapter 3: Friends vs. Acquaintances

Alice looked at herself in the mirror satisfied with the reflection. After careful deliberation, she picked up a black one piece suit that had a plunging v in the front. She paired it with some black embellished platform sandals that gave the illusion she had legs for miles and perched her sunglasses on her nose. Not even a gay man would be able to resist. She was petite but she had more curves than one would imagine. She couldn't wait to see Jasper's face when he saw her. He would probably disregard everything else and take her on the spot. She ran her hand through her short spiky locks and after throwing a kiss at her reflection, left the room.

She ran into Edward in the stairs. He had on his plain black swimming trunks with black flip flops, paired with his ever present wayfarers. She had to admit he didn't look bad. Sure, it was understated; but Edward wasn't the showy type of guy. They made it to the living room to see Bella and Jasper putting the clean dishes away. It was kind of uncomfortable how much like a couple they looked. Bella turned around to see them and whistled, "Alice you look hot!"

Alice couldn't help but smile. No matter how much she wanted Jasper she couldn't help but like Bella. Jasper turned around and whistled too, after leaning on the sink and crossing his legs at the ankles. "You guys look like you stepped right out of a magazine"

Alice smiled and winked at him. Bella grabbed the remote and gave it to Edward, "Why don't you guys watch some tv while we change? We'll be right back"

They both nodded and sat on the couch, quickly getting engrossed in House's newest health mystery.

Upstairs in her room, Bella was going through her closet trying to find her newest swim suit. It had been a present from Rose; a souvenir from her trip to Australia. She had to admit it was a hot little number. Plaid and very…small; but she couldn't help but want to tease the boys. She gave a scream in frustration and decided to go look in Jasper's room.

Bella walked into Jasper's room without bothering to knock, and made her way to his walk in closet. He was standing near the shoes with his swim trunks on. She smiled as she noticed that they had been a present form her. On closer inspection, she realized that the trunks were riding very low on his hips, laying under the dimples on his lower back, almost showing the top of his behind. He turned around when he heard her lean on the wall and she quickly found the reason why his pants were so low. The front of the trunks, both the velcro fly and the ties were open, giving her a tantalizing peek of his member.

Jasper gave her a crooked smile when he noticed she was biting her lip while looking at the opening of his trunks. "Did you get your fill?"

Bella shrugged, "It's not my fault you're so eye fuckable. One could say mouthwatering."

Jasper's eyebrows rose up to disappear under his messy blonde hair and his features slowly softened up and gave way to a smile, "What's up darling? Why haven't you changed?"

Bella pouted when he started to fasten the pants; making him smile again. "I can't find my swimsuit. I've been waiting for a chance to wear Rose's present and now I can't find it"

Jasper looked at her thoughtfully as he pulled some black flip flops from the shoe rack and slid them on as he got some sunglasses from a case. He pushed up to his head before stopping, "Is it striped? Kind of plaid?"

Bella's eyes lit up, "Yes!"

Jasper went to his underwear drawer and rummaged around for a bit, "You left it here when you came to show it to me. I put it in here; figured you'd come to get it when you needed it"

Bella's smiled widened and she clapped her hands happily as he pulled both the top and the bottom from the drawer. "Jazz, you are the absolute best!"

Jasper's smile faltered as he took a closer look at the suit before handing it to her, "This is awfully…small…"

Bella smiled. "It's a wicked weasel. It's a risqué swimwear company"

Jasper raised his eyebrows, "Hmm…Why don't you change in my bathroom? I want to be the first one to see it on you. I think I have a pair of flip flops around here that are yours…and maybe some sunglasses too"

Bella nodded happily as she bounded off to the bathroom to change. She took a look at herself in the mirror and silently thanked Rose for making her get Brazilians on a monthly basis. The suit was tiny, but it went perfectly with her body. She fixed her messy bun again, and took a deep breath before opening the door. Jasper was walking out of his closet with a pair of black flip flops in one hand and pair of sunglasses in the other. The look on his face was priceless.

Bella leaned on the door frame with her hands clasped behind her. "So, what do you think?"

Jasper was at a loss of words. The colors of the suit went perfect with her skin tone. The small triangle top made her perky breasts look larger and the tiny bottoms rode very low on her hips, giving a hint of her crack. For some reason that hint was very...alluring. There was nothing to hide with that suit on. As small as it was in the back, it was even tinier in the front, confirming his suspicions that she was a fan of brazilian waxing (and God, so was he).

Jasper put the flip flops and the sunglasses on his desk and Bella's breath hitched on when he crooked a finger at her motioning over to him. Before she knew it her legs were wrapped around his waist and his hands were everywhere, "This suit is simply too sexy Miss Swan"

Bella laughed and grounded herself on him making him groan. She gave him a wicked smile as she disentangled herself from him and reached for the flip flops, putting them on as she walked into the closet. She reached his hat section and pulled her hair out of the bun, placing a black straw cowboy hat on her head. She turned to look at him and he froze. The woman was sex on legs. He narrowed his eyes as he remembered how she ground up against him moments ago, and left him cold. He purposely walked up to her and before she knew it, his mouth was on her right nipple tugging at the piercing a bit and making her wild. After a quick powerful suck that made her almost come and turned her legs to jelly, he pulled back and started to walk away. "Our guest are waiting"

Bella's mouth formed an "o" as she looked down at her exposed breast. "Oh, HELL NO" She quickly fixed herself and caught up to him on the stairs; he was facing the top of the stairs waiting for her. She walked down the stairs, quickly and gave him a sweet smile before grabbing his crotch and giving it a nice rub as she walked by. When he froze in the spot she blew a kiss at him over her shoulder and kept on walking to the living room.

Alice looked up from the tv when she heard the sound of flip flops coming down the stairs. The suit she had on was sexy enough to make a gay man go straight and it made her a bit angry how amazing Bella looked. She wasn't used to being jealous, and the woman was rocking one hot body. Jasper came into her line of vision and she swore she came right there. The man was…SEX. From the messy blond hair pulled back with the sunglasses to his strong chest and the nipple piercing, to his washboard abs and down to his strong legs, ending at the tips of his toes encased in the simple white flip flops. For a second she forgot to breathe. How did Bella manage to live with the man without having her way with him? She stood up quickly and walked up to them, giving them a big smile "You look great! Those are some hot bodies you guys are rocking"

Jasper smiled at the pixie, "Thank you. You look very good too. Should we get to the pool?"

Edward was frozen on the spot. It took every ounce of discipline he had in him not to go over where Bella was standing and taking her on the stairs. The things that came into his minds were probably illegal in most states and if it wasn't for Jasper clearing his throat he would have kept on eye fucking her. Bella gave him a small smile and motioned him to follow them .

The pool in the backyard was amazing. It had a Jacuzzi and a fountain and there were two lounge chairs near the edge of the pool. Bella smiled at them, "Isn't it amazing? Jazz designed it after I told him what I wanted."

Edward and Alice goggled at them, "Jasper designed this?"

Jasper nodded. "My mother restores houses, we learned everything we know from her. We used to help her restore old houses. This house was our first solo project though."

Bella was smiling at him beaming proudly, "So, come on! Let's have some fun!"

Alice walked up to one of the lounge chairs and gingerly sat on it; reclining a bit, as to show off her body to its best advantage. Edward shook his head at his sister's antics and slowly got into the pool. The water was great and from the corner, he could keep an eye on things.

Bella was debating whether to tan or to get on the water when she felt Jasper's hand on her lower back. She looked at him, taking in every little detail.

He was already wearing his sunglasses, and his messy hair was blowing with the wind. She looked at his chest and the piercing on his nipple winked at her; glinting on the sunlight. He guided her over to the edge of the pool and took her hat off her head, placing it momentarily on his. Alice was studying him and he smiled at her as he handed Bella the sunscreen bottle. While she busied herself with the lotion, he started to pull up her hair and maneuvering it into the messy bun she preferred. He laughed when he saw Alice's shocked face.

"Is something wrong?"

Alice gaped at him, "How did you do that?"

Bella stopped applying the lotion and looked at Alice, "What did he do?"

Alice pushed her sunglasses to the top of her head, "He very easily…very…normally? Pulled your hair into a messy bun"

They both nodded at her, "So?"

Alice sat up, "What do you mean so? Do you know how…strange that is?"

They both laughed, "When we were in high school Bella got into an accident and broke her arm. Mom wasn't always around to fix her hair so she taught me how to make the bun things and how to braid her hair. It became a normal thing. Sometimes, like now, I do it without even noticing"

Bella nodded and grabbed her sunglasses from the pocket of his trunks. She decided to tan for a bit before getting on the pool; it would give her some time to get to know Alice a bit.

Alice was trying to decide whether to get on the pool or keep on tanning. Jasper was on the pool, deep in conversation with Edward, who had been eerily quiet the whole time. Before she could do anything, Bella turned towards her, "I hope you don't mind, but I sort of invited some friends over. I figured you guys would want to make as much friends as possible"

Alice smiled, she loved meeting new people. She sputtered when she felt some droplets of water hit her. She looked towards the pool to see a guilty looking Jasper leaning on the edge of the pool smiling at them, "Hey ladies"

They both smiled at him. "Heyyy" The man was such a gentleman; and the smile that he gave them just about made them putty on his hands.

"I almost forgot to tell you, Jazz! I invited some of our friends over!"

Jasper smiled and looked back at Edward who was floating on the pool then back at the girls, "You guys are gonna have a great time then. Who's coming?"

Bella smiled wickedly, "Well…last I heard, Tanya, Rose, Emmett, Jake, Angela, Sam, Marcus, Leah, Victoria, Laurent, and James"

Jasper smiled, "At around what time are they getting here? It's nearing 11:00"

Bella looked back at the clock on the wall, "They'll be here a little after 12:00"

She smiled wickedly at Alice, "Wait 'till you see the Quileute boys."

Bella fanned herself, "Can you say hot."

Alice and Jasper laughed at her antics.

The four friends lounged around the pool, Bella and Alice getting to know each toher and Jasper and Edward discussing the upcoming school term. They were mostly relaxing until they heard the sliding door open and heard strong male voices saying hello. Alice turned to see who it was and froze, but not before having the sense of pushing her sunglasses to her head to get a better look. Jasper and Bella were exceptionally beautiful; of course they would have exceptionally beautiful friends. She looked from the group of hot guys to stare at Bella, "These are your friends?" Bella smiled and helped her off the lounge chair. "Guys, this is Alice. She's new in Austin. Make her feel welcome!" Bella gave her a gentle push after whispering something on her ear. She looked at Bella then back at the guys. They had approached her and were showing her some nice southern hospitality in the form of hugs and kisses. Bella's whispered words kept playing over and over in her mind as a particularly fine specimen of sexy grabbed hold of her waist and pulled her into a hug. All she could hear was Bella's voice, "You know, all of our rooms are soundproof"
