Hey guys! So I'm a bit worried about writing a fanfic for the realm of twilight. There's just so many fics out there and most of the ones I've read have been quite good! So be gentle with me please and don't burn my creativeness with flames! As always constructive criticism is welcomed and those who have read my other fics or like them ... should I stop writing fics with my own characters? Ok guys enjoy xxx
P.s as usual I own nothing except my devious mind oh... and Lily. Can't wait for you guys to meet her! ;) X

Jaspers POV
God I need coffee. Why the hell do I work nights? Sure it pays the bill and the rent, but man it plays havoc on your social life. So for me it's the end of a busy day dealing with drunk guys hitting on drunk girls at my club, but for all these business types yapping away into their headsets it's the beginning of the day. Hence, I need coffee. Thankfully I know just the place. Aroma.
It's this beautiful little place, stuck on a corner that hardly anyone knows about. It's gorgeous. It's got comfy leather chairs that you just sink into and dark wood everywhere. And best of all, no-one bothers you. It's perfect. Thankfully it's nearly always open. The guy who owns it opens it at 4, just as my work day is about to end.
I stroll in about 5, I always feel sorry for the barista's stuck behind the worktop so early in the morning but today I just don't care. Jasper needs his coffee fix. And yes I did just refer to myself in the third person. "The biggest cup of black coffee you got." I say quickly.
The girl behind the counter quickly turns around and starts making the coffee. Here they don't offer all that fancy Grande or tall crap, they give you a coffee literally the size of a bowl. I call it heaven. The girl serves me my coffee and I hand her the money – I'm a regular so I already know the price. I may be tired but I'm always polite, so I look at the girls nametag; "Thanks...Lily." She smiles slightly and for just the briefest of moments she actually looks into my eyes and I'm breathless. Her eyes are gorgeous – they are brown, but not just any brown. Her big beautiful eyes are flecked with the brightest green I've ever seen and even specks of gold. I reach out to take the coffee and our fingers brush, I swear I feel the tiniest jolt of electricity, but she turns away. I turn to sit at one of the armchairs close by and I just look at her. She's gorgeous, why didn't I notice before? Suddenly I'm not as tired as I was and I fully take in her appearance. Her brown hair is pulled back into a high pony tail that reaches below her shoulders with a fringe that covers her eyes. Her eyes hardly ever stray from the counter top, I think she might be shy. I saw her full lips when she smiled; they were so pink and luscious. I couldn't really see her body – it was hidden behind the counter but I could tell she was in shape. I decided to come back here again at this time tomorrow; I just wanted to see those eyes again.

The morning shift always suits me best. Its quiet and I don't have to talk to many people. This morning was different. He walked in. At first I thought he was some kind of angel when I saw him out of the corner of my eye. The bell rang as he opened the door and I glanced up. He was beautiful. His blonde hair curled haphazardly creating a golden halo around his head. He was tall, almost filling the door frame he must be at least 6ft 2". He looked stressed, but somehow he was still gorgeous.
He strolled over to me and ordered a large black coffee. I didn't want to stare so I turned around quickly and set about making his coffee on the large old fashioned coffee machine. I'm glad no one else was on shift today; I got him all to myself. He hands me the money without me even having to say anything. Great that means he's a regular – there's a chance I might see him again. I swear my heart almost stop as he drawls; "Thanks Lily." I nearly die when I realise he's from Texas. That accent just does something to me. I look into his eyes and nearly gasp. They are beautiful. They are the brightest blue eyes I have ever seen, they're a range of colours running from topaz to a deep midnight blue. I would love to stare into those eyes for eternity, but I knew I couldn't. That could never happen to me. You just have to compare us; I mean he's a beautiful angel and I... well I'm just me.

I go back to Aroma many times over the next couple of weeks -almost every day. I must seem eager but, I love to see her... Lily. I swear she knows when I'm coming, my order is almost always piping hot and already on the counter when I walk through the door. Now she smiles every time she sees me. The first time she smiled at me I swear I stopped in my tracks.
This morning didn't start any differently. I walked into Aroma with the small bell tinkling as I opened the door. Lily looked up at me and smiled that beautiful smile. Wow – there were actually people in Aroma today usually there is usually only me but today there were at least 10. Oh, that would explain the second girl behind the counter. I smiled at Lily and just said "The usual please darlin'". She shyly smiled at me once again and bashfully ducked her head. She was about to turn away to make the coffee when the other girl said "Lily why don't go get some more coffee beans from the back?" Lily looked like she was about to protest but quickly shut her mouth and turned away. The other girl, the red-head smiled "Hi I'm Victoria! What can I do for you handsome?"
This girls was ruining my coffee; "Well, you can get Lily back here and let her serve me." I smiled at her, as hers faltered. She blushed, embarrassed at being shot down and called Lily back. As Lily returned to the counter she smiled at me and for the first time I heard her speak. "Thank you"
Holy Shit. That accent alone almost made me come in my pants. She was fucking English. I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face. "I'm Jasper by the way. Jasper Whitlock. You can call me Jas if you want."
She smiled, looked directly in my eyes and replied; "So, you said the usual...Jas?" She blushed prettily and I couldn't stop smiling until I went to sleep.

The angel had a name. Jasper. No... Jas. He said I could call him Jas. I think I'm in Heaven, it's just such a shame I have to go back to Hell.
