Author's Note: This is a cute little one shot I wrote awhile ago, with my character and Jasper. I love Jasper, he's awesome. I love Jasper and Alice together, but I'm also obsessed with oc's. So, since I like Jasper so much, I made a Jasperxoc. If You don't like, then don't read.

Sorry it's so short... XD I may or may not make this a series of small one shots, I have yet to make up my mind.

Summary: This is a short little One Shot, Jasperxoc. Laura, on her aunt's ranch, goes out to the barn for something, but the spooky old barn reveals more than just darkness.

Disclaimer: I do not own Jasper, but I DO own Laura, Colleen, and Aunt Kellen. I don't think I included any other characters...

Jasper Hale One Shot: Tease!

Darkness

I walked through the dark, letting a string of curses flow under my breath as I squinted my eyes to try and see where I was going. Darn Colleen and her stupid memory! Forgetting to bring in the eggs that lay neatly in the basket in the barn. They'd been sitting out all day in the smoldering heat and wouldn't surprise me if they were spoiled now. The lantern Aunt Kellen had given me didn't work very well, so I could only see a few yards in front of me. And this barn was big.

My boot covered feet caused the floor to creak from my weight, each time making my heart thud louder against my chest. I wore a plain yellow t shirt with my jean jacket over it, along with my camouflage capris. My light brown hair was pulled up in a ponytail, contrasting with my dark hazel eyes that scanned the darkness in search of the missing basket.

One of the horses stirred in its sleep, causing my eyes to widen and for my body to freeze for a moment.

My heart thudded in my ears, so loudly it made me wonder how it didn't wake the sleeping animals. I turned my head towards the source and listened to my surroundings carefully.

Once I confirmed that it indeed was only the horse that made the noise and that I was truly alone, I let a relieved sigh escape my lips and pressed my hand over chest, above my heart. I hated the dark. I hated creepy old barns filled with dormant animals that loved to injure me in the daytime. My cousin Colleen would pay. Dearly. She knew I didn't like coming out here so late, so she convinced her mother, my aunt, to make me come out here.

"'Oh, don't worry honey, you'll have loads of fun at you Aunt Kellen's farm this summer!'" I mimicked under my breath, lifting the lantern up to try and see if the basket was anywhere in sight. A sour expression covered my face, mixed with fear and anticipation for something to jump out of the shadows and attack me. I mean, vampires and werewolves existed as I'd found out, so what makes everyone so certain that the bogyman doesn't?

"I miss my Jasper... Cold, cuddly Jasper that tries to rationalize with my irrational logic..." I whined, trying to keep my mind on him and finding the basket as I walked around the dark barn. "Where is that damn basket?!"

A creak behind me caused my heart to skyrocket and my body to jerk around to face whatever was there, the lantern somehow not slipping from my sweaty hands as it swung with my arm. The light shined around me and illuminated the wall I was next to and the horse that slept soundly nearby, along with the supporting beam a few yards away.

But no one or nothing else.

I took a shaky breath and scanned my surroundings, looking for anything that might be moving. However, a certain scent briefly reached my nose that caused me to furrow my eyebrows in confusion. Lavender? Why would I smell lavender in my Aunt's barn...? My eyes stopped and fear rose in my chest as my gaze remained in that one spot, where I swear I saw something move. I thought it was just a stack of hay or farm equipment at first, but it moved.

An owl hooted somewhere in the rafts and caused me to jump.

"Boo." Someone whispered in my ear, causing me to let out a muffled scream. Something covered my mouth, and I managed to recognize it as a hand as I dropped the lantern to try and pry it away from my face. "Shhh, Laura it's me, Jasper." His soft velvet voice whispered in my ear, causing me to immediately stop struggling. A sense of calm flooded my body as my breath and heart beat began to return to normal.

I turned around and faced him, his hand leaving my mouth and placing itself on my hip, his other hand on the side of my face. The light from the lantern, which miraculously hadn't broken, let me see his grinning face. He strangely reminded me a chester cat, the way his eyes glinted in amusement at my misery. Oh yeah, he cares about me lots.

His smile stayed there even when I hit his incredibly hard chest, mad that he'd scared me like that. Even if I was relatively calm. "Don't do that! You scared me!" I whispered, then gasped when the lantern flickered out. The light in front of the barn that only turned on when something was nearby had turned off long ago, leaving us in utter darkness.

When Jasper sensed my discomfort he pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around me, letting a wave of calm flow from him and calm me. My eyes shut and I buried my face in his chest, arms wrapping themselves around his strong form.

"I'm sorry, but I had to see you. It's been over a week and it's dangerous in the south... and it was just opportune moment to surprise you."

"That wasa bad joke." I murmured.

"I'm sorry, would a kiss make you feel better?" He asked, moving his hand to tilt my chin upward. I couldn't help but smile, looking at him through the darkness.

"Maybe." I whispered, soon feeling his marble like lips press against my own. Any thought process that I might have had was now severed, the passion radiating from us as the kiss deepened.

"Laura have you found the basket yet!?" A shrill voice yelled from the darkness, and we separated our lips. "You've been out here-" Jasper smiled at me. "A long time!"

I blinked.

He wasn't there.

Blinking rapidly I turned my head and looked around me, trying to find Jasper. At the door of the barn I saw the outline of a person, and unfortunately recognized it as my cousin's, Colleen. "Not-" I said, reaching down to take the lantern at my side. But, I stopped when I saw a straw basket set neatly in front of me. Reaching out, I picked it up with my free hand. "Never mind, I found it!" I told her, and started walking towards her slowly.

A frown was set on my face as I approached her, the tingly feeling from those cold lips lingering on my own. "Tease." I whispered.

I could have sworn I heard him chuckle by one of the horses.
