In Public, I Call Her Sister – chapter 2

Mother’s taking us out shopping for our coming out party. Neither Vera’s, nor my family, is high enough on the social ladder to attend any formal debutante balls – something that nettles my parents greatly.

It hasn’t stopped them from doing all they can to propel me out into the spotlight.

Not that I mind, so long as Vera is there with me. I know I’m beautiful, everyone always tells me so. But it is her that makes me feel it.

Vera smiles at me, hooking my pinky finger with hers, silently conveying her excitement about staying the night again.

A/N: Thanks to Evieeden, who not only made this banner, inspired this story, but also beta’d it.
Hope you’ll follow along Rose’s path with me. There’s 50 chapters, and I’ll be posting daily.
As ever, I don’t own Twilight, it owns me.

Under the safety of our blankets we reveal our secrets to each other. We giggle, then shush one another so as not to risk Mother or Father coming in and finding us still awake.

There is one secret, however, I daren’t share. Not even with Vera – my best friend and confidante for as long as I can remember.

Vera, who has long been the one who’s invaded my most private thoughts.

Vera, who would surely condemn me if she ever found out .

For some reason, she’s had a fascination with butterflies as long as I’ve known her. She even has one tattooed just above her hip.

I plan to use her fondness for them to my advantage.

Dolly Parton’s “Love Is like a Butterfly” is her favorite song, and it’s playing softly in the background as I hand her the lantern with the “captured” butterfly.

Her eyes are wide as she opens it, pulling out the ring nestled under the wings.

I take her hand. “Bella, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”

Her tearful nod sends me soaring.

Fireworks

“Come on, hurry up!”

I grin at her excitement, purposely moving slower than necessary. She narrows her eyes at me, batting at my arm.

“No fair, Jazz! If we don’t get there soon, we’ll miss it!”

“Darlin’, no fussing, now. It’s fireworks. You won’t be able to miss them,” I tease.

Putting my arm around her waist, I pull her to my side as we walk to the bridge. Once she’s satisfied she’ll have a good view, she leans into me – back to chest – just as the show begins.

Kissing the top of her head, I smile. “Love you, Bells.”

Today’s been one of the longest days I can remember.

And one of the best.

Today’s the day we moved in together. Our parents weren’t too keen at first, since we’re still in college, but they came around finally.

Not that that would have stopped us. We both just… know. Have for a while now, and I, for one, don’t want to waste any more time.

I love him.

With everything I am.

There’s a lot I want to do now that we’ve got our own place. For now, I enjoy the simplest of things.

Falling asleep in his arms.

Retreat

A/N: Happy Birthday, Stolenxsanity! I wanted to do something special for you to celebrate your day. I know times haven’t been easy for you, so I hope these two will at least bring a smile to your face.

Lot’s of love to you, sweets.

desk

With a sigh, I straighten up my desk and log off. I’m just putting my files in the drawer when Peter stops by my cubicle.

“Hey, Jay, you set for this weekend?”

Stifling a groan, I try to compose myself. Our boss thought it a good idea to take everyone out on a three day retreat, since it’s a holiday weekend. To build up inter-company relations or some shit.

Theoretically, it’s a nice thought.

In reality, it means three days of being couped up with Peter. Not a bad thing, except that I’ve had a crush on him for months.

Magic

A/N: Dear AmethystJackson, I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Putting this out un-beta’d, so hope it still works 😉
As ever, I do not own Twilight – it owns me.

 ooOoo

Even after all these years, it never ceases to amaze me. Everything around me has this sense of… magic to it.

It isn’t just the fact that I’m an immortal now. Or that I have Edward. Or Renesmee. Or the rest of the Cullens.

It isn’t even the fact that I still have my Dad in my life.

Or even that I get to keep my wolf-family, too.

None of that compares to the magic I see every day. All the colors, the scents, the sounds. People – normal people – don’t get to experience it.

But I do.

And I’m so grateful.

Soar

A/N: Happy Belated Birthday, rhenea5018. I hope you had a great day, and that you enjoy these two boys.

“C’mon, don’t be scared. I’ve got you,” he says.

My heart hammers in my chest as we carefully make our way to the tip of the bow. Not just because of what we’re doing, but because of how close we’ll be.

This is the first time since I got outed that we’ve been alone. But being gay wasn’t my biggest secret.

Loving him, is.

My best friend.

Who’s straight.

He grins as he turns us both around, his hand around my waist.

“I like you, too, you know,” he whispers as I spread my arms.

His words send me flying.

Pokemon

I’ve never really understood his fascination with Pokemon. Neither the cartoons – which he religiously watches – nor the game itself.

He plays. All. The. Time.

It drives me nuts, sometimes, but it’s a part of him, so I deal with it.

Today, I plan on using it to my advantage.

I hope.

The show’s over. My heart’s beating rapidly, my palms are sweaty, and I’m nearly hyperventilating as I grab the ball and turn to him.

His smile turns to a confused frown.

He opens it, the paper slip popping out.

He whispers the words, “I Choose You!”
 

“Marry me, Edward?”

Key

A/N: Happy Birthday, Captnhook! Hope you have a fantastic day. I couldn’t find anything to indicate what you liked to read (if anything), so I figured I’d go with what I do best 😉

I’ve always had a strange fascination with keys – skeleton keys, to be precise. It started when Grandpa Aro gave me one when I was a boy. Over time, I’ve collected several, without ever truly being able to put into words what they mean to me.

They are mystery, history, and love, all rolled into one.

Jasper has never really asked about them – he just seems to get it. Like he seems to get me.

So when the time comes for me to tell him how I feel, I do it the only way I know how.

With a heart-shaped key.
