MY SOULMATE IS A VAMPIRE

19

ROSALIE POV

"I thought you weren't coming to see me," I said.

Now, it was just me and Jasper in my hospital room. Mary deliberately took Brilly out, so we could have some time alone. Seeing Jasper's fine condition made me suspect that he was actually bored with me yesterday. That's why he started to stay away from me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I just needed some time alone first," Jasper said.

"Are you tired of me?" I asked. I was honestly very curious about his answer—whether it would satisfy me or disappoint him again.

"Rosalie, there's no boredom for you. I just need some time alone these days," he explained.

I paused. Was there trouble in the Cameron family again? "You haven't answered my first question," I said.

"Of course I have to come out, Rosalie. I'm not going to let that demon take you away from me," Jasper explained.

I laughed as he tried to insinuate that Brilly had come alone with a bouquet of flowers and some special snacks for the sick. Unlike Jasper, she came with a million wounds that she hid. However, to me, there was nothing Jasper could hide from me.

"Did Elle tell you?" I asked.

"No, she's still in shock because her vision has changed," Jasper said.

Yes, I wasn't surprised when Jasper said that. However, was it that bad that I changed her vision? I don't think I could ever be like Elle. Elle is really amazing; she bears the burden of seeing the future alone. So do the others. However, it still feels like I'm being discarded because I'm no longer useful.

"Rosalie, can I ask you something?" said Jasper.

Of course, I nodded at his words. Soon, he pulled out a ring box as he took my right hand. He opened the ring box and took out a gold ring with a model that was not too flashy but seemed very elegant. He put it on my ring finger, trying to let everyone know that I was his.

"Rosalie, if ever you feel that I've abandoned you, just look at this ring. If one day you want to forget me, please look at this ring. Rosalie really is my life, which has exceeded five centuries. It makes me think, What if one day, in the end, I am forced to leave my soulmate when the situation is critical?" Jasper explained.

Apparently, there is indeed a problem in the Cameron family. Judging from Jasper's expression, it seemed like he was worried about something. I never thought that I could read a vampire's face either. However, honestly, the look on someone's face is basic to me.

"Jasper, sometimes not all negative things must be thought about. Indeed, there is nothing wrong with thinking about these things. However, it has a huge impact on you. You get overly worried, panic, and so on. So it would be better for you to balance it by thinking about other positive things," I explained.

Jasper looked at me more deeply than ever before. "Rosalie, I really hope you understand the situation now. However, I won't let that happen," he said.

***

It's been two days since I was discharged from the hospital. After Jasper and Mary took care of the registration, I immediately returned to my apartment, where I had been staying for two days. Of course, Jasper followed me to the apartment. I don't know why if he tries to stay close to me, it feels suspicious.

Right after entering, Jasper hugged me tightly from behind. As usual, his hug was flat. But I could feel the warmth that Jasper wanted to channel into me. His neck resting on my shoulder made my hair stand on end.

"Please, just like this for a while," he said.

Not long after that, one hand followed to hug my waist. I was groping my queen's belly and ending in a peck that he gave to my neck, and somehow we moved to my room as I felt being carried by Jasper. Now we were on the bed, with me on the bottom while he was on my stomach, watching me with a look of regret on his face.

"Rosalie, if you'll excuse me, can I kiss you?" Jasper asked.

I could only nod; maybe he missed me after two days of trying to fight with all his own problems and thoughts. However, I felt something different when he kissed me. His hands kept exploring my body, slowly but surely. I don't know what he was looking for.

The kiss went further down, to my neck, shoulders, and finally down to my flat stomach, which was exposed because I was wearing a crop top. It's not right, but somehow I enjoy it. It feels like I'm floating in the air. Could this be how it feels when taking drugs?

"R-rosalie, me. Ugh," Jasper moaned. He stopped what he was doing and closed his eyes when he realized he was going too far. I tried to calm him down by stroking his cheek.

"Hey, it's okay. I understand," I said.

Jasper started to take my right hand. Bringing it up to my head before finally kissing my lips again. That afternoon, it felt like Jasper was pouring out all his longing for me.

He expressed all his affection that afternoon. Until morning, I could see him lying next to me shirtless. He was smiling. Oh my god, I always feel like flying when I see that genuine smile. Not many people can make me happy like this.

"Sorry for the bruise on your neck," he said. I laughed before nodding in response to his question.

"I can feel all your anxiety when you kiss me," I said. Jasper laughed as he gave me an incredulous look.

"I mean it, Jasper. Maybe it would be better if you wanted to tell me. However, if this is a private matter for your family, and if you don't want to share it with anyone, then I won't push it. However, you should know that I am also a member of Cameron's family," I explained as I laughed a little.

"This problem won't be solved with Rosalie's words. Really, it's harder than you think. But one day, you'll find out for yourself. I'm sorry for not being able to tell you the truth," Jasper replied.

"I understand; there are some things that must be kept secret. Then I'll wait until I find out about the matter," I muttered as I got out of bed.

And I hope this matter doesn't frighten me anymore. Jasper, I thought.
