Chapter One
I stared at the diamond ring on my finger, it felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. How did I get into this mess? I'm engaged but I m falling in love with someone else? This isn t right but it feels right. He makes my heart soar. What am I going to do...
----------------
Jasper got down on one knee and smiled up at me. I all but swallowed my tongue as he said the words I had been waiting for the last year. "Alice, Will you marry me?" He smiled as he opened the black jewelry box, exposing the diamond ring.
"Yes!" Tears streamed down my face as he slide the ring into place on my finger. He picked me up and spun me around kissing me as he did so. Jasper made me so happy and today was the happiest of all days. I smiled brightly at him as we walked in the house. It wasn t really our house; we shared it with lots of people. Friends, family, people close to us. Of course people had been watching us out on the doorstep so as soon as I was in the door I was swamped with Congratulations and Way to go! I smiled and thanked them all. This was going to be great, a whole new life with Jasper.
4 Weeks Later
I sighed heavily as I sat on the counter. Jasper was away visiting his sick grandmother four states down, but I stayed home. I shoved a spoonful of ice cream in my mouth and swallowed. Cookie Dough ice cream still didn't make me feel better. Even with everyone that lived in the house I was still lonely. I had heard there was someone new living with us but I still hadn't met him. I guess I could do that. I stood up on the counter top and brushed myself off. I wasn't paying attention to where my foot was as I picked it up and I slipped off the counter. I was about to hit my head off the floor when a pair of strong arms caught me. "Gotcha!" A man s voice sounded in my ear. I looked up to see who had me and regretted it instantly. The man holding me was beautiful. He had dark brown eyes and a tan face. He was smiling at me and my eyes sparkled. I couldn t find my voice and it looked like he couldn t find his either. He was staring into my eyes and my cheeks flushed red. I looked away trying to hide my blush when he finally spoke again, "My name is Jake; Jacob Black." He was smiling again.
"I'm Alice. Thank you for saving me." I smiled back at him still blushing and it seemed like he got lost in my eyes again.
"Wow" He blinked a few times and set me on my feet taking a step back. His tan cheeks were slightly brighter, and I could tell he was blushing.
"What?" I was studying his features. Memorizing them. He was indescribable. I bit my lip and waited for his answer.
"Your eyes they are beautiful." I could see the blush come back to his cheeks even though he had russet brown skin. I blushed bright red and looked down, too embarrassed to say another word.
