2. Just You and Me
"Checkmate!"
"Aye! Not Fair!" Emmett complained. Jasper smirked at Emmett, bragging about his fourth victory.
"Oh, Jasper," I said whispered sarcastically to myself. I looked at the TV to avoid any attention, but in the corner of my eye I could see Jasper smiling at me. I couldn't help but smile back. Who could resist that handsome smile?
"Wow Emmett, I can beat you on the field and on a piece of wood," Jasper exclaimed.
"Well how about I just beat up your as-," Emmett muttered. But Esme still heard everything.
"Emmett," Esme warned from outside. Esme has been gardening for the past week. She said she wanted to catch up on one of her old favorite hobbies. She also said to me that the autumn flowers looked like trash stuck in the dirt. I chuckle at the memory of Esme whispering that to me.
"Sorry Esme," Emmett soon replied. Emmett sat up from the leather chair and trudged upstairs to go see what Rosalie is up to. I felt a swift breeze from behind and the air around me soon overflowed with Jasper's scent. I felt his breath on my neck, which would have definitely sent a shiver down my spine if I was human. I slowly turned my head to eventually gaze upon his amber eyes and his one-of-a-kind smirk. I smiled back, just barley showing my white teeth hidden behind my cold, pale lips. I wrapped my small arms around him neck and snuggled up close to him. His arms placed themselves around me back to hold me in place against him.
"Why don't you ever give Emmett a break?" I asked.
Emmett and Rosalie started by pecking each other on the lips, but it soon turned in to an intense battle for dominance. Emmett unbuttoned the first button of Rosalie's shirt…
Shook my head to block out the vision. Jasper quickly understood what I saw. From my guess, he heard the smooching sounds from upstairs. I heard Esme sigh…not a depressing sigh but a "they're in love" kind of sigh. Although you could tell she wished they would take it somewhere else.
"Do you want to go somewhere else?" I mumbled against his chest.
"Definitely," He replied, with his lips against the tip of my head. He gave me a quick kiss before he motioned for me to get up. I gracefully perked up and casually skipped over to the door. Jasper followed me from behind.
"We are going to go Esme," I called to her on my way out.
She looked up from the newly planted pansies. Her beautiful features dazzled from the dim sunlight trying to escape from behind the gray clouds.
"Run along you two," she gestured to us by lightly flicking her hand to direction of the forest. I looked back behind me and glared at Jasper.
"Race ya!" I shouted and dashed off into the damp and mossy forest.
"Oh it's on!" I could hear Jasper call from behind. I quickly picked up my speed and raced to the spot. Our spot. Jasper soon began to catch up to me until we were each evenly lined. I gave out a giggle and I could hear it go on and on for an extremely long distance. Jasper chuckled at my excitement. I gave a wide smile to him before racing as fast as I could.
Jasper quickly dashed behind me and went into a pouncing position before lunging at me…
I came to a stop in our secret paradise—As Jasper and I call it. I waited for the vision to soon become reality. I heard his breath hitch before he lunged, so I quickly dodged to the right. But instead of me hearing him land gracefully on the ground, I felt myself being pulled to the ground by pale hands located on my shoulders. I laughed as I let myself fall to the ground. He was laughing too. Soprano and bass. I rolled over to the other side to gaze into his eyes. Our grins soon faded and slowly changed into small smirks.
"Gotcha," Jasper whispered after a long moment of silence. I looked at his picture perfect face studying each of his features—even though I already knew them like the back of my hand. I sat up and gazed all around me, at the beautiful sight that surrounded me and Jasper. I looked out over the horizon to see the blue calm water and the whishing waves, of the Pacific Ocean, by the beach. I could hear the waves collide with the ground, sucking in more and more sand from the beach. We were on a cliff so we could spot everything down below. There was our own little meadow around us with a boulder or two near the back by the edge of the forest.
I sighed at the beauty of this place. I lay my body back down next to Jasper's. Jasper had his hands behind his head and he was looking up into the crisp colorful sky—due to the beautiful sunset that lay over the horizon. I stared at him…what could he be thinking about? At this moment I wish I had Edward's ability instead of mine because it would be nice once in a while to be able to read someone's mind. Was he thinking about me? Our family? I sighed. I turned to my side and lay on my back to stare at the gleaming sky.
"What are you thinking about?" I asked him. I didn't dare speak above a whisper, not wanting to ruin the calming silence. My eyes still gazed up to the cloudless sky, waiting for his response.
32 seconds past before I heard his mouth open to speak. "Well I was thinking about you at first… actually to be honest I was wondering what you were thinking too, but I was never planning on asking it," I frowned. I felt waves of cheerfulness and calmness flush over me. "I also was thinking about how we first met, when we joined the Cullen's, what our life has been with the Cullen's, and what is happening now."
I looked over at him. My eyes landed on his who were staring right at me. They gleamed in the little sunlight that was left, and a small smiled was formed—the corners of his lips just barely curving upward.
I had a clear memory of when we first met. I thought he would never come. But my visions were telling me that he was coming, soon.
(Again, not a vision…..but a memory)
I was sitting on a red and silver, ragged, fake leather barstool. I just sat there everyday waiting for him to come. There was an untouched cup of coffee in front of me. The waitress always eyed me. I could tell there was a mixture of worry and curiosity in her eyes.
Then that day came. I sat with my back faced to the door. I heard the 'ding' the door made when someone entered or exited the diner. I would usually turn around--always holding my breath—to look to see it my vision had just become reality. But that day, I didn't turn around. There was only 2 people in the diner at this time to I decided to take a breath, but that was when his scent hit me. I could tell it wasn't human.
I swiftly swung my chair around and finally saw that this day had come. His beautiful face shined in a dimly lit diner. He gazed around at the barely empty diner until his gorgeous eyes—then they were black—landed on my topaz ones. His expressionless face tensed at the sight of me.
I gracefully hopped down from the barstool, and danced over to his standing form. I came to a stop right in front of him and looked up at his perfect face. I could tell he was on his guard, thinking that I might attack. But from my huge smile that was planted on my face and the excitement that formed within me, he relaxed a little. I felt the waves of calm roll over me, but deep inside me, I was absolutely thrilled he had finally come.
"You've kept me waiting a long time," I said, breaking the silence between us.
Like a southern gentlemen, he ducked his head. "I'm sorry ma'am." He said in a beautiful southern accent. I smiled at that part.
I held out my hand, and without being cautious about any of his movements, he placed his hand in mine. We gracefully walked out of the diner, and into the pouring rain. And I knew that for the rest of my eternal life. I would never want to let that hand go.
"I can remember that day so clearly," I finally said. "I could tell that in your mind you were saying, 'what the hell is she doing?'" I laughed at that. I could hear a chuckle escape his lips.
"Ah, yes, that was true, your excitement hit me as soon as my gaze landed on yours." He smiled. "I didn't even know what to do, but at the same time, I trusted you."
I stood up and hugged his now standing figure. He tightly hugged me back.
Not once have I ever thought of letting Jasper go. He was my life as I was his.
I pressed my head tightly against his chest, listening for a heart beat that I knew was never going to come.
Emmett and Rosalie came down the stairs stopping in the living room. Esme was sitting in her favorite armchair reading a book.
"Where did Jasper and Alice go?" Emmett asked. Rosalie stood next to him, her face smooth and unconcerned, as always. Esme sighed. She put down the book and looked up at them.
"They went on for a while," Esme responded casually. She gracefully stood up and walked into the kitchen.
"Oh," Emmett murmured.
Jasper stared into to my eyes with concern all over his face. He was waiting for some kind of response that I was supposed to give him.
"Emmett and Rosalie are finished," I said to him. He nodded.
"Well I just want to stay a little while longer," Jasper whispered in my ear. I smiled.
A man trudged over through the woods, with an open wound on his left arm. He came to the clearing that we were standing in and Jasper lunged at him.
I tried to hold him back but he was to strong. The mans' blood smelled delicious, but I made sure to put that in the back of my head.
I soon at I looked up Jasper stood there in misery. The mans' body was on the ground, unmoving.
I looked at Jasper with panic. I felt a wave of calm come over me.
"Jasper hold your breath," I said nervously. He did so, and I did the same thing.
"Alice what--," Jasper was interrupted by someone's voice.
"Hello? Is there somebody there?"
I could tell the man was not far away.
My mind raced through all these questions. Would if Jasper will take another breath? Would if he loses control? Would if I lose control? No, no Alice that could not happen. Jasper will not lose control.
"Alice lets go," Jasper said pulling my arm.
"No," I said to him with a smile. He looked at me confused. I walked to the edge of the cliff. Jasper soon understood and walked beside me. "On three, jump," muttered. Jasper nodded. "One…Two………..Three, JUMP!" Jasper grabbed my hand and we both jump off the cliff until there was no hard surface beneath us.
I hoped you liked it! The next chapter is where the drama really begins! Chapter 3 should be up soon! So Stay tuned! :))
