Hello! Here I am again Thank you PrettyTwi17,metle, mistyhaze420 and TearfullPixie who encouraged me to continue. A small warning Alice is in this chapter and she is…who am I kidding? She is lovely I totally adore her.
Disclaimer: I do not own, I just love to see Jasper drink lemonade and I had to make that happen.
"It would be so nice if something made sense for a change." Alice (Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland)
Chapter two "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
"How's your parents?" Bella asks.
"Same as always, dad has gotten used to the desk job even if he still complains about it sometimes and mom is still getting used to Rebecca and Rachel being in college. She is a bit upset though because they are off traveling this summer so she has no one to go shopping with. She was all excited that you are here I bet she will call you up and practically force you to go to town with her, you know my mum," Jacobs says and wiggles his eyebrows at Bella.
Bella gives him a mortified look back. Obviously she's not into shopping, but I guess that she really does know Jacob´s mum that woman doesn't know the meaning of the word no. I love Jacob´s mum though you can definitely see where Jake gets his carefree manners from, that woman is a ball of energy.
We are in Bella´s garden, the sun is hiding behind a cloud but the temperature is nice. I´m sipping on a glass of lemonade the sweet taste rolls over my tongue. I keep changing positions in the garden chair; I cross my legs and immediately uncross them, only girls sit with their legs crossed. I wipe my mouth and put the glass down. My breath comes out in small puffs. I feel like I have just run a marathon even thou all I have done is sit in a chair and sip on some liquid sugar. My heart beats franticly in my chest, I feel worried that someone will hear. I glance to my right immediately regretting it, I don't have to look in that direction to know he´s there I can feel him like an electric current making the hair on my arms stand out. He´s leaning back in the chair holding the glass to his lips letting the fluid into his mouth. When he swallows his Adams apple moves and I can't take my eyes off it. His hand grips the glass a small drop of lemonade travels down his index finger.
I´m hard, the wink yesterday and now this, what is wrong with me? The straining against my jeans is getting worse and unlike yesterday there is nowhere to cool off, it's not like Bella has a pool. Just when I think it can't get any worse he looks up and smiles at me while licking some lemonade off his lips.
"So Jasper why are you transferring to Seattle?" Jacob asks and Jasper thankfully turns his attention away from me.
"Well I kind of wanted a change of scenery that's all," Jasper answers.
"So got bored with Texas huh?" Jacob continues.
"Well I wouldn't say that but sometimes the southern mentality can get a bit old."
"And now we can finally spend some time together, I mean considering Jasper lived with his dad in Texas and me with mum in Arizona we hardly ever meet, I mean when Jasper spent his summers with mum I spent mine with my dad here in Forks," Bella says and smiles at Jasper.
"Yes it is nice to finally get to know you Bella and your friends too of course," Jasper says and looks at me and Jacob.
I feel a blush arise in my face. I hope that the others don´t notice but Jacob does give me an odd look. I lean forward in the chair pretending to wipe away something from my shoes. Maybe I should just excuse myself and leave before this gets any worse. But then again I don´t feel too eager to stand up, why did I put on a pair of tight jeans? No I really don´t feel eager to stand up. I pick up the glass and start to drink only to occupy myself with something. I can feel Jasper´s eyes on me again. Bella and Jacob are discussing some movie but I don´t pay attention. I drag my hand thru my hair, I see Japer shift in his chair. A small wind sweeps in lifting the tablecloth up, sweeping thru Jaspers hair brushing it off his face. O God I wish it was me doing that. No Edward not the time for fantasies I tell myself, but my overactive imagination doesn't listen. It produces images of me leaning forward and running my hands thru those glowing locks. How Jasper leans onto my touch. I draw closer, close enough to feel his breath on my face. His lips are pink, wet from the lemonade he just drank. I run my tongue over them they taste sweet. His hands come up drawing me closer pressing his lips hard against mine. I tilt my head to the side deepening the kiss. My hands are out of his hair running down his chest. His tongue is in my mouth, I straddle him in the chair his hands are running down my back and in under my tee shirt…
"Edward, earth to Edward!" Jacob´s voice is filled with laughter as he waves his hands in front of my face.
I feel myself turn bright red. What the hell is wrong with me?
"Where the hell did you go man? I was just telling Bella how you promised to let mum read your fortune in tealeaf's the next time you come over," Jacob is giving me a wicked grin.
"Yes I guess I did," I say trying to will my throbbing erection down with pure willpower.
"I thought your mum didn't do that anymore, you know after..," Bella trails off.
"Well she has kind of gotten to terms with that now; she says the decisions were made in the last minute so she couldn't see it coming. Not that I believe any of that nonsense anyway," Jacob says and rolls his eyes.
"O can´t we go over there now? I would love to see Edward getting is fortune told," Bella says and laughs.
I shift uncomfortably in my chair.
"I don't think so," I say trying to appear cool.
"No lets, mum would love to see you Bella and you did promise her after all Edward," Jacob says.
***E***
Her embrace is warm and her pointy hair tickles my chin. She holds me like it wasn't just a couple of days since I last saw her.
"It is so nice to see you Edward," she says and lets me go and turn her attention to Bella.
"Bella come here," she says and wraps her tiny arms around Bella.
Jacobs groans as his mum starts to say how much her baby boy has missed his sweet Bella but Bella just laughs.
"Mum this is Jasper, Bella's half-brother," Jacob says.
Jasper reaches his hand out and it is like she notice him fist now after having spent all her attention on Bella and I. Her eyes brighten and a smile spreads across her face she nods a bit to herself before she reaches out and takes his hand.
"It is nice to meet you Jasper, the wind was blowing from the east today so I knew that change was coming I had no idea it would come so soon," she says and winks her eye at Jasper.
"Mum stop that, you are freaking my fiends out," Jacob says and heads into the kitchen opening the fridge.
"Stop that baby boy" she says and Jacob steps away from the fridge but not before grapping a snack," now sit down at the table and let me make some tea, Edward you did promise me something didn't you?" Jacob´s mum looks at me with an amused smile.
"Well I don't know Mrs. Black, maybe some other time," I try knowing that bargain with Jacobs mum is no use but maybe she will let me off the hook considering there is an audience.
"Stop the Mrs. Black thing Edward, just call me Alice that's my name you know. Mrs. Black makes me feel old and think of my mother in law. Bless her soul but she never thought I was good enough for her precious Billy," she says and snickers at Jacobs who is shaking his head " It was true she always wanted him to marry a nice Native girl, but let me tell you when I laid eyes on that man the was no turning back I just had to have him," Alice gets something dreamy in her eyes as she talks about her husband," And no Edward I will read you fortune today the elements are in balance this is a perfect time."
I sigh and admit defeat. Alice puts out cups and takes out some cookies while basically dancing around the kitchen. She may be well over forty but she moves like a twelve year old girl, well a twelve year old girl on speed. She places herself in front of me and pours the tea.
" Now drink up."
I am not partiality found of tea but do as she says.
She takes the cup from me and gaze into it for some time.
"Give me your hands Edward we need to have a connection," she says and places her small delicate hands out for me to take.
I take them trying to keep calm. I don't really believe in this kind of thing but there is something about Alice. She sees things I don´t know if it is because she is perceptive or if there is something else.
"Relax Edward, I see good things ahead, if you relax I might be able to see clearer."
"Okay, what do you see?"
"Hum things are going to change and change is hard but it will bring good things. The images keep flickering that's because the decisions haven't been made yet. I see you in a city, maybe it´s Seattle I don´t know. It's raining you are standing outside you are waiting for someone. You are anxious you don´t know if this person is coming, your hand taps against you thigh you check your watch. Footsteps come closer, the image isn't clear. Someone takes your hand it´s cold. The rain pours down it´s night you shiver. You say something, I don´t know what," Alice becomes silent closes her eyes she frowns in concentration for what seems like forever finally a smile spreads over her face," You say I love you that's what you say," she opens her eyes and lets go of my hands.
I inhale sharply. There is a tension in the room. Whatever that was it was intense.
"That is all for today I think, but that was beautiful Edward," Alice says and takes a cookie.
"O come on mum you can't leave it there who was it? Like did you see to whom he said that?" Jacob says suddenly not questioning his mother's gift.
"No I couldn't see, sometimes it's more of a feeling," Alice answers while chewing on the cookie.
"That was amazing, it was like the rest of us could feel that," Jasper says looking at Alice with his blue eyes.
Alice turns to Jasper studying him closely.
"Do you want me to read your future too? I have a feeling you are a strong broadcaster. Some are easy to read some not. Like my baby boy I can't see anything when it comes to him, but maybe that's for my own good a mother shouldn't know everything about her son," Alice says and sticks her tongue out in Jakes direction.
"Thank God for that," Jake says.
"Okay Alice do your magic," Jasper stretches his hands out to her.
She lays her hands in them. I watch them embracing her small fingers, they look strong I wonder what it would feel like if it was my hands not Alice´s he was holding.
"No I don´t think I need the tealeaves this time," she mumbles and closes her eyes.
"You feel things strongly both your own and others emotions. You feel you have to hold back, don´t do that. I see you in a room you are walking back and forth; you pick your phone up and put it back down. You sit down on the bed. The phone rings you pick it up, the person on the other side talks you say okay. You cancel the call and walk out of the room; you put your jacket on. You hesitate for a moment and walk over to the window, you walk over to a shelf and search for something. You find it, oh" Alice giggles and opens her eyes," it's an umbrella. You walk out of the door. Relax or I won't be able to see further. The scenery is changing maybe this is before maybe this is after," Alice closes her eyes again, they flicker under her eyelids.
All of a sudden she inhales sharply and let's goes of Jaspers hands, a small blush creep up her cheeks. She fans her face with her hands before she realizes that eight pair of eyes are glued on her.
"O hum, like some people are really strong broadcasters and that can be a bit much for a housewife from Forks," Alice says and puts her hand over her mouth to suppress a giggle.
"What did you see?" Bella asks her eyes wide.
"Nothing really it was more of a feeling kind of," Alice says and starts to clear the table.
I feel a bit dizzy, I don´t believe in this but Alice just makes it so believable. Did she really see me saying I love you to someone? And what the hell did she see in Jasper´s future that made her act like a nun at a strip club?
"That was interesting," Jasper says after everyone has sat silent for a while.
"I think we have to head home, I promised to cook something for dad and Jasper said he would help," Bella says and stands up.
"Yes I did, it was nice meeting you Mrs. Black, I mean Alice," Jasper walks over to Alice who is doing dishes.
She turns around and embraces him. Her hands are a bit wet and leave damp marks on his tee shirt. I watch them as in trance.
***E***
I lean back against my headboard. Classic music is playing downstairs, dad is home. I try to read but I realize that I have read the same page tree times. I sigh and put the book away. Today was crazy, first meeting Jasper and then the whole Alice reading my future thing. My phone buzzes; I pick it up opening the text.
Waz up? U feel like camping? B wants to go tomorrow, said I would only come if U did/Jake
Camping? U me and B?/Ed
Yes and B`s bro, up on the mountain U know like we did last summer?/J
My hands treble as I write the answer I must be crazy if I agree to go camping with Jake, Bella and Jasper. But then again maybe I am.
Ok, should I bring my tent?/Ed
Yes B and Jasper got their own. U and I can take yours/J
Ok, see U tomorrow, what time?/Ed
Meet us at B´s at nine/J
What am I doing? But then again I am sharing a tent with Jake which is perfectly safe. Not that I actually need to lay beside Jasper in a cramped space to get… hum.. hard. As much as one part of me wants to avoid Jasper to avoid further embarrassment there is this other part who really wants to spend time with him. This other part is kind of winning. He is probably not gay and I will probably make a total fool of myself but what the hell maybe it´s time I lived a little. And even if he by some miracle turned out to be gay he is most likely not interested in me anyway.
I lay down on my bed closing my eyes. My thoughts drift back to seeing Jasper for the first time standing by the window. I imagine walking over to him running my hand up his arm feeling the sensation of his warm skin. Kissing his neck inhaling his scent. I feel myself get hard and unzip my jeans and start stroking myself. My hand grips firmly around my length and I pretend that it is Jasper touching me. I flicker my thumb over my slit spreading the pre-cum while pictures of Jasper sticking his hand down my pants pressing me hard against a wall play in my mind. He says my name with that Sothern drawl he has before kissing me hard and pumping my dick firmly. I come hard; unfortunately I come hard in my own hand. O how I wish it was in Jasper´s.
***E***
I put the flashlight in my backpack and close it. I think I have everything. My nerves are on the outside today, I have already gotten into an argument with mum when she walked into my room asking if I wanted her to help me pack for the camping trip. I snapped and said that I wasn't a baby and that I could do my own packing. She made a sad face and walked out. My mother is the fucking queen of guilt trips. She hardly ever says anything back when I snap at her but she makes me feel like a total ass none the less. I throw a glance at the wardrobe considering changing my tee shirt again. But I have already changed three times this morning. Like he is going to notice my tee shirt or how a look at all. Why am I doing this? I drag my hand thru my hair regretting it immediately and run to the bathroom to check my hairdo. I start arranging the bronze mess on my head but it ends up looking even more disarray. I sigh and lean against the bathroom counter. Get a grip Edward Cullen I chant to myself.
"You better come down here now Edward or you won't have time to eat breakfast before you have to leave," mum calls from downstairs.
I make one last attempt at getting my hair in order before I head down to the kitchen.
Mum is making waffles. Her wavy hair is shiny her make up flawless. The poka dotted apron hangs without a smudge on it over her crease free dress and she is making fucking waffles with a pleasant smile on her lips. Sometimes I think mum is one of the Stepford wife's. Our house is spotless, tastefully furnished in cream colors, our garden well managed and mum gets up extra early just to make her lovely son waffles. Allow me to barf. And I am being unfair but I am just afraid that having a gay son won't fit into my parent's picture perfect life. Did a mention that my dad is a doctor and the kind of doctor that without a problem would fit at Seattle Grace Hospital if you know what I mean? My dad has girls at school whispering D.I.L.F about him when they think I can´t hear.
The waffles taste delicious I have to admit. Mum sits down at the table with me.
"So you guys are going camping, I hope that you are careful you know there have been sightings of bears in the area?" Mum looks worried she isn't a big fan of the outdoors.
"Yes mum," I say without looking up from my food.
"So Bella has a half-brother, is he your age? Are we going to get to meet him?" mum goes on.
I feel slightly uncomfortable talking to mum about Jasper.
"Well yes he is my age, he is one year older than me, and why would you need to meet him?" I ask giving mum a puzzled look.
"I just don´t like the idea that you are hanging out with someone who me and dad haven't meet, that's all."
"Seriously mum I am not five and besides we are hardly hanging out I mean I have meet the guy once and I am going camping with Jake, Bella and Jasper are kind of just tagging along," I say and feel myself blush. How fucking embarrassing mum asks a perfectly innocent question and I blush like she is talking about the importance of using condoms.
"I know I just worry about you," mum says and reaches out over the table stroking my cheek.
"Mum" I bush even harder.
I get up from the table and take my plate to the counter. I better get going or I am going to be late.
***E***
I park my car and get out. Jasper and Bella walks out of the house as I arrive. I try not to linger my gaze at Jasper too long. He is wearing khaki shorts and white wife beater, making his tattoo fully exposed as well as his well-defined arms. O shit he is not making this easy for me. I put my hands in the pockets of my shorts, my wide shorts. I can't hide a full boner in them but at least being slightly hard won't notice. I have the ability to plan ahead a bit at least.
"Hey man nice to see you," Jasper says and moves down the porch to meet me putting his hand on my shoulder.
Thank God for wide shorts!
So tell me what you think! The next chapter will be called "The Call of the Wild" and will involve a camping trip of course. If you have any suggestions on what you would like to happen please tell me, I am eager to please. And what did you think of Alice?
