APOV--
Jasper brought me out of the rain and fog on both a literal and metaphorical level. He brought me back to what he more or
less considered his home. I hadn't found any of us who stayed somewhere very long, I guess we were all nomands. His
choice of shelter a loft, despite the obivious plainess of it, it was really comforting. Not in away that would make me
compliment his decorating skills but, it was a comfort knowing, no woman, human and vampire alike would be willing to live
here, atleast without sprucing it up first. This plain almost empty loft brought me comfort knowing he was alone. I frowned
for a second noticing my thoughts rudeness. I didn't want him to be alone. I just didn't want him with anyone else. I had
never seen him before, prior to today, but I already felt like I had a right over anyone else to him. He was mine. Everytime
my feelings towards something changed just the slightest twinge, his posture would change for a second before returning
to it's orginal state.
When we entered the loft he left me by the door, to go rumage through some stuff across the room. I stood there
awkward for a moment, deciding wheither or not to leave my shoes at the door before I walked around to prevent making
a mess on the floor, or to leave my shoes on to prevent getting the mess from the floor on my feet. I decided to continue
standing at the door. Afterall he hadn't actually invited me in... At first I just watched Jasper as he looked for what ever it
was he was looking for, that lasted short of a second. My eyes skimmed across the rest of the place. Although I know from
experience that vampires don't sleep he had a mattress sitting in the far right corner of the room, most of the stuff here
was in piles, rather than having a specific place in a drawer or something.
"Uh, hey..." I turned to my left to see Jasper looking a little uncomfortable. I instantly felt embarassed, he had a right to be
a little uncomfortable with me looking over his stuff. If I were human I would have blushed. "Hey" I asked over come with
feelings of shyness.
He held out some of his clothes. "Here, you should put on some dry clothes..." We stood looking at each other for a
moment, I think he was as embarassed as me. I slipped off my boots, and took a step into the room and in the process a
step closer to him. I heard the slightest gulp, as my hand brushed his while I reached for the clothes. I waited another
moment, there was no where else to change, so I started to undress looking away from him. "Oh, sorry!" He recluctently
turned around and walked across the room. Once he had sat on his mattress I continued with changing. His shirt was like
heaven to put on, knowing he couldn't see I took a big whiff of it, and sighed. At the sound he intinctively turned around.
His eyes widened for a second before he averted his eyes away from my legs. He stood up and was infront of me in an
instant. "Here, I'll hang your other stuff to dry." He smiled nervously taking my stuff and taking it across the room to hang.
He stood facing the wall a moment, he sighed before he turned around. "Alice." It was heaven to hear him say my name. I
could tell he was trying keep in the image of a gentleman, when he spoke the next words. "You, need to explain." I just
stared at him not quite sure what he wanted to know, that I didn't already specify that I didn't. He sighed. "Alice, where
have you met me before?"
"No where." I stated simply. The visions weren't a physical world, so that was the truth. Part of it anyway.
"How could someone love you, when they've just met you?" His question almost seemed like it was meant for himself. His question didn't make any sense. How could he know I loved him?
"I guess, you don't plan on answering... I think it was rhetorical anyways..." He let out a small laugh in a attempt to relieve the tension. It failed.
"I didn't know the question was meant for me. How would you know I loved you?" I almost said this to myself, I made an effort to look at him when I said it. I wanted to hear the answer.
"Thats not what I meant... I mean I do know--" He paused before he continued with another sentence. "But, I mean me. I
just met you and I'm drawn to you so strongly. Like I've known you forever. I've felt it in other people... but, I've never...I've never felt this much love before. It's overwhelming. I don't understand how thats possible."
As he spoke these words I was overcome with complete bliss. He loved me. I knew he couldn't feel it the way I did for him,
but he said it was more than he ever felt before. I was estatic. He looked up at me. "What?" He asked as if I had said
something, for no particular reason. I jumped at him kissing him fiercely. I had spent day and night wanting nothing, but
him for as long as I could remember. I had him now, he was mine, and my heart was his, as it always was. His attention
was fully mine at this time as well. He wrapped his strong arms around my waist, and lifted me up as I wrapped my legs
around him. I brought my arms around his neck. Little bits of hair fell in my face as I put all my love through my lips into his.
"Alice." He said pulling away for a second. I was still lost in all of him. "Hmmm?"
JPOV--
Understanding hit me. "Alice." I said reclutantly pulling way. "Hmmm?"
"Your whats been missing!" She looked a touch confused. "I felt like there was something missing, a part of me I never
knew. Thats why you seem so familar, I've been looking for you for so long. I love you so much, Alice" I proclaimed myself
like I wanted to earlier. I finished by smashing my lips into hers. She welcomed them happily. "Your my earliest memory, I
haven't thought of much other than you since. I've been looking for you, more in a literal sense than you meant I think..."
She laughed. "You have a incrediably indesivisive mind Jasper!"
I was filled with more confusion. I carried her over to the bed and sat her down. "Now, over to the explaining"
She shook her head. "No, no... you have some explaining to do yourself." She laughed. It was a perfect sound. I basked in it.
"Okay, I'll explain. You need to first thought" I tried to make a deal with her.
"How do I know you'll keep to your word?" she questioned.
"For one I love you..." I said a touch sarcastic.
"Well, how do I really know that..." she was smiling a bit. She was a vampire, but she was also a woman, she had a plan to
trick me into saying something to get her way. I wanted to give her what she asked but, I also needed to know more
about this mysterious girl. "I will prove that I love you everyday from here on but, I guess you can't know yet..." I trailed off
trying to think of something to prove it something that sounded final.
"Thats the thing... I can't know. Nobody has the ability to know that." I nodded. "But, you Jasper...You can. How is it fair not to explain that?" She played tricks pretty well.
"Its not, but I will explain. I want you to first though, you've left me in suspence longer..."
She sighed. I waited not sure wheither it was a sign of another comment to come, or a sign of giving in.
"Okay. I'll tell you my 'story'..." She said story with heavy sarcasm, but she smiled so I knew she wasn't mad. "I don't have one." I was about to argue but she continued. "I have no memory of my life prior to being a vampire. Someone changed me and walked off, it took me longer than it should have to figureout what I was."
I was outraged someone could change her, and leave her like that, without even explaining anything. "Don't feel bad, how on earth would you know what you were? That anything like this happened at all?"
"Thats the thing. You know how we can have special powers? I have visions of the future. Its not set in stone as most
think. My first vision was of you. I knew we had to meet. You changed your mind so much. I never knew where you were
going to be, I learned of your name through hearing it used during any visions. My first memory was something that should
have got me wondering what I was. The first thing that got me thinking in this direction was the unbearable thirst. I really
should have known sooner."
"I can sense other's emotions, I can control them a little too. Not so much that I could control them, but I can calm someone down when they're angry. Or lighten someone's mood. Its a subtle gift, but it makes eating more difficult on my conscience than it would have been already."
"So..." She started with a sly smile. "Am I under your spell?"
I laughed quite seriously though, I leaned in kissing the hollow of her neck. "I hope so..."
