Alice Cullen
Philidelphia, Pennsylvania 10:00 p.m August 29th,1958
"Can I help you Miss?" The bartender asked with much politeness. "What? Oh. No thank you. I'm just waiting for someone." I answered with equal politeness. "As you wish ma'am. If you shall need anything just let me know. Okay?" "Of course. I will." I answered his question without even paying attention. My attention was on something more important.
The jukebox was playing. Someone had put on Frank Sinatra's "But Beautiful". It was one of my favorite songs of the year and soon to be our love song.
I was looking out of the window at the dark, dreary, rainy day when it hit me. This vision was unlike any of my visions before. "Have we meant before?" The tall handsome man asked me. "Only in my mind." I answered with gracefulness. Then the bell of the door had interrupted my path into the future. It was he. The man of my visions. Jasper.
I had finally found him. After years of tracking him. I finally found my one true love. I got out of my seat and danced up to him.
"Hello Jasper." I said knowing that he would be confused. "I'm Alice." "I'm sorry. Have we meant before?" He asked in a confused maner. "Only in my mind. Only in my mind." I answered.
"Shall we talk somewhere of more secrecy?" Jasper suggested knowing that this would lead to something else. "Yes. Yes, we shall Jasper. Come with me. I know the perfect place." I said with so much anxiety. Knowing that Jasper was about to snap I lead him out of the diner.
I lead him to my mansion a ways up into the dark mountains. "If you don't mind me asking. Where are we going?" He asked curiously, as I towed him behind me as while we ran. "You shall see Jasper. You shall see." I quoted mysteriously.
Once we got to my mansion, I stopped. "This is it. This is home," I stated briefly. I turned around to catch Jasper in the act of gazing at me in pure amazement. "
Are you okay Jasper? Do you need a glass of water?" I teased knowing the answer to that question. "No thank you. I. Uh. I am fine. "He babbled still in a trance. "
"So you had some questions Major Whitlock?" I asked playfully as I pulled closer and closer to him. "Just a few. I'm sorry I didn't quite catch your name." He laughed slightly. "Alice. Mary Alice Brandon."
"Wow. That's quite a long name Ms. Brandon." He teased playfully embracing me tightly. "Yes. I suppose so." I babbled distractedly.
Just then, we both fell to the ground me on top of Jasper. "Some how I felt like this might be Alice." He mumbled in between the kisses that he was showering me with. "Yes. I know what you mean." I tried to get out of my mouth without moaning.
"How do you know all of these things? Is that part of your power?" He asked. "Yes. I can foresee the future. I saw you coming. I saw us with that family. The family who thought me the ways of hunting." I explained. "So that explains your eyes then?" He questioned started putting all of the puzzle pieces together."
Yes. I only feed on animals." I gave him more to ponder. The kisses he was showering me with started at my jaw line and started to descend slowly down my neck. "Jasper? " Moaned. "Don't you think the bed would be more comfortable than the ground?" I asked hoping it would not ruin the mood. "I suppose so." He said as he scoped me up in his arms and ran to the house.
We barely made it though the front door, but we at least made it to the couch. This all fit together perfectly. Jasper, me, the love, everything. "I love you Jasper." The words slipped out of my mouth.
"Had he heard what I said? Did he love me too?" I asked myself these questions not knowing any answers. I felt so embarrassed. "Alice. Do not worry. I love you to." He answered as if he had read my thoughts.
"Can you read minds Jasper?" I asked slightly confused. "Sort of. I can sense and manipulate emotions." "You do not have to be worried or embarrassed. I love you too Alice." He tried to calm me down. I could not tell if Jasper was manipulating my emotions or not. Frankly, at that moment in that position I did not even care. He could have been murdering me and I still probably would not care, but this was far from murder.
