When I Looked Into Your Eyes
JPOV
Tonight was the night my buddy, John, was playing his first public audience. I did write all of the lyrics for him, but the way he pieced it together was…amazing. He did justice to all of my songs. That didn't even begin to explain it.
Opening for him was a contemporary dance routine, choreographed and performed by Alice Cullen. I hadn't seen dance performed before, but Alice was supposed to be something special. I couldn't say I was excited, but the crowd sure was.
My sister, Rosalie, was waiting for me when I got there. A really big guy was taking up her time, but she didn't seem to mind. It was a little bit odd, considering how she despised men. She was actually laughing around this guy! Then she spotted my car pulling in and started towards me.
"Hey, Jazz! What's up?" She asked when she reached me.
"Um…nothing really, just…parking my car?" I answered. She flashed me a smile, I never really knew how to answer that question. "So, you excited for tonight?"
"Oh yeah! How many chances do you get in a lifetime to see the Alice Cullen?"
I opened my door to my black Mercedes and stepped out, making sure to lock the door when I closed it.
"Who was that guy you were talking to?" I asked, trying to keep it casual.
"Hmm? Oh! That's Emmett. He's really funny! Anyways, he knows Alice and said that maybe he could arrange a meeting with her. Maybe…" She responded, obviously getting her hopes up.
"Just be careful, okay Rose?"
Every guy wanted her. Who wouldn't? With her blonde hair, blue eyes, and stunning body figure. It was tiring being her brother, what with how many asses I had to kick. And to think, the one guy I trusted was the one who did the most damage.
"I will. You know me, I don't get along with guys too well. But Emmett really does seem different, like he wants to know the real me. It's like he sees past the blonde hair and blue eyes. Please, Jasper, give him a chance."
Wow. She really was trying to convince me. I could feel her desperation in the air. Our mother used to tell me I had a gift, being able to feel emotions, and later control them.
"I know, I just…I don't want to see you get hurt." Again. I thought to myself.
We went inside then. Rosalie was babbling on about how long she's waited to see Alice Cullen.
"…oh, and she's gorgeous! Just wait until you see her!" She said to me.
A crowd went around the stage then. Man, could this place get even more crowded?? A booming voice came from the speakers at the same time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to…ALICE CULLEN!" And the crowd definitely did. A suited word for this situation would be…wild.
"Come on, Jazz! Let's go to the front!" Rosalie had to yell over the audience. "JASPER! LET'S GO!"
We made our way to the front, trying to push our way through. We heard 'Beautiful' by Me'Shell N'degeocello coming through the speakers. Emmett, the guy who was talking to Rosalie, showed up out of nowhere, yelling at people to move for us. At first they didn't, but then they saw his humongous muscles and backed away. Soon enough, we were at the front.
"Thank you!" Rosalie said to Emmett.
"Anytime." He said, the look of happiness in his eyes.
And then I saw her. The most beautiful girl I had ever seen. Even Rosalie paled in comparison to the beauty of this girl. The way her body moved made her short, spiky, black hair sway to the rhythm. She was quite tiny, but the way her body moved made her look long. Rosalie was right, she was gorgeous. Her green-blue eyes shone into the light. Oh God! She's looking at me! I felt incredibly nervous then, but I couldn't tell if it was her feelings or mine. Then she smiled at me, and her body took flight again.
When she finished her performance, I couldn't clap. I was still stunned by her beauty. It was definite she would be on my mind the rest of the night.
"Jasper! You made it! So what did you think of the performance, dude?" John asked.
"It was…breathtaking." I said, thinking he was talking about Alice.
"Well thanks man! That's the best compliment we received so far!" It was then I realized he was talking about his band.
I chuckled nervously. "Yeah, your welcome…" my voice trailed off as my thoughts drifted back to Alice.
"Thanks for writing those lyrics. The songs wouldn't have made it without you…seriously" He scratched the back of his neck as the conversation became awkward.
"Oh! No problem, man! Anytime!" I replied, faking my enthusiasm. "Well, I have to go find Rose, so…see ya later!" I called as I ran to find her.
I made my way through the crowd, only to find her with that Emmett guy again.
"Hello again, Jasper! This is Emmett. Emmett, meet Jasper, my brother."
"Hey." I said, sticking my hand out for him to shake.
"Hey, hey!" He said, pulling me into a homie hug. "You looked quite…what's the word?"
"Captivated?" Rosalie chimed in.
"Yeah! That's it! You looked quite captivated by Alice…find her interesting, do ya?"
He nudged me and winked. Then he let out his booming laughter, and I couldn't help but laugh back. Friendships probably came easily with this guy. Or not, he did seem very intimidating.
"Well, I'd never seen live dance before. It was very intriguing." I responded, trying to hide that I was looking at the girl herself. It didn't quite work.
"Right…more like the girl was intriguing. Anyways, I'm going to talk to this guy over here, see if I could get us back there." Emmett thankfully changed the subject.
He walked up to the massive security guard, and asked to see Alice.
"Ms. Cullen has currently asked for privacy with Ms. Swan. I am quite sorry, but I can't let you in." He said in a monotonous voice.
"I am Mr. Swan. I am sure she will not be bothered." Rosalie's face fell at that.
"Ms. Swan is not married." He stated. Right then, Rosalie's face perked back up.
"No, but she does have a BROTHER!" Emmett practically yelled back.
"I'm sorry, sir. I can't let you in." The man said, sounding angry and annoyed.
"You can, and you will!" Emmett replied, shoving the man a little bit. That earned him a punch in the face.
"I can't believe you just did that, you-"
"EMMETT! NO! Please! Don't cause any trouble!" Rosalie shrieked at him.
"FINE! But just because the lady asked." He said to the guard.
"Sorry guys! Maybe another time. Ms. Cullen has currently asked for privacy with Ms. Swan." He mimicked.
"That's fine," I said, although quite disappointed, "Like you said, maybe another time. I have to get going anyways," I said, glancing down at my watch. "Bye, Rosalie. Nice meeting you, Emmett!"
"Bye, Jasper!" they called in unison.
I got home and jumped in the shower, the image of Alice still fresh in my mind.
That was the first night I dreamt of Alice Cullen.
