"Do we know when her vision was? You know, when Mike was going to-"Edward cut me off.
"Kiss her?" he asked. I frowned. "Yes. Tonight. Alice caught a glimpse of the calendar in Mike's house." I clenched my teeth and squeezed my fists together.
"Then I'm going to his house tonight. I will put a stop to this. Bella?"
"Yes Jasper?"
"I need you to make me…attractive." I blushed. It wasn't like me to want a makeover. Especially when the only person who could give me a makeover didn't like to. But it was my only choice. Bella blushed. Edward looked at her, and then smiled.
"She thinks you're handsome enough. She also thinks she would love to help you." Edward said to me. He hadn't read her thoughts, so I wondered how he knew this. Oh well, that wasn't the problem.
"I would love to help, but I can't guarantee you'll like what I do to you!" she and I laughed. "It might be worse!" She took my hand and drug me toward the door. "We'll go to the mall, pick out a nice shirt and tie, then go down to Mike's and give him a piece of my mind!"
At the mall, we had a shirt and tie picked out, and were ready to get onto the motorcycles we brought. Bella and I rode our motorcycles quite often with each other. But normally, Alice would be holding onto my waist, behind me, for the ride. I missed that. It was getting dark, and soon we would be at Mike's house, ready to get Alice back.
It only took about 20 minutes to get there. We went up to the front door of Mike's house. It was a red door, which looked silly against the cream white siding. A woman looked through the small window in the door. She saw Bella, and opened it.
"Hello Bella! We weren't expecting you. What brings you here so suddenly?" said the woman. I guessed she was Mike's mom. She had blonde hair which matched Mike's. She was bigger, and her nose wrinkled when she smiled.
Bella glanced at me. "Is Mike there?"
Mike's mom looked at me. I stood behind Bella, peaking out to look at Mike's mom. Reluctantly, she let us in. "Bella, just tell me, who's your, uh, friend?" She pointed to me. It was probably weird to have Bella walk into her house with some guy tagging along.
"Oh, I'm sorry. This is Jasper. Mike knows him from school." Bella said, hoping Mike had never said anything about me to his mother.
But Mike's mom smiled, and held her hand for me to shake it. "Well then, nice to meet you, Jasper. Mike and his friend Alice are upstairs. Go on up." I shook her hand-she flinched because of my cold skin-and Bella and I headed up the steps.
Bella stopped at the top of the steps, and listened intently. "Do you hear that?" she asked. I listened, and heard laughing in Mike's room. I could see Alice and Mike sitting on beanbag chairs in his room, talking. They got up, and Mike escorted her onto the balcony, facing LaPush. Bella and I crept into Mike's room, hiding behind the dresser. Alice was out on the balcony, gazing out to the stars. Her hands were propped on the railing. Mike gazed at Alice. He also had his hands on the railing. He moved his left hand over to Alice's. My cheeks burned. If it wouldn't ruin everything, I would have run over to Mike and pushed him off the balcony. Alice gasped.
"Mike!" she pulled her hand away in disgust. "You know I'm in love with Jasper!"
That threw me off guard. She didn't say love. She said in love. I didn't doubt that she would give him hell, and that she wouldn't ever do something that wasn't right when she was married. But I couldn't stand Mike. Not anymore. My eyes narrowed.
Mike shot off a response to Alice. "I thought you liked me!"
"I do."
"Then break up with him!"
"I don't like you like that, Mike. And I never will. My heart belongs to Jasper. And it always will. So deal with it. Goodbye." And with that, she started to walk away. But before she could take two steps, Mike pulled her lips to his own. Alice threw a fit, but she didn't use her vampire strength. She wasn't allowed to. It would give us away. Mike didn't budge.
"This must have been Alice's vision." Bella whispered. She was probably talking to herself. That was it. I couldn't take it anymore.
"Stay here." I said to Bella. Then without thinking, I stepped out from behind the dresser, and lunged at Mike. I caught his neck and pressed it against the cold stone floor of the balcony. His eyes widened, confused. I felt his emotions. He was worried, confused, and angry. Alice was relieved that I had shown up. She backed away from Mike and me, a smile growing on her face.
Through clenched teeth, I spoke to Mike in a grave tone. "Never…ever…flirt with my wife. And that is a threat." And I meant it. I would hurt him if he ever tried something like this again. He struggled under my strong grip. I picked him up by his shirt collar, and threw him into the wall. He glanced to Alice, who was smiling. But it wasn't a sweet smile. It was a smile that said: "See what happens when you mess with me?"
Mike looked back to Alice. "What's going on here?! You're married?!"
I let go of Mike, and stepped back. Alice walked over to me and linked her arm in mine. "Yes. Yes I am. I'm married to the most wonderful person in the world. The one who would do anything for me." She turned to me. "My perfect match." She leaned towards me, and closed her eyes. I kissed her. Bella got up from behind the dresser, and went over to Mike.
"Hello Mike." She said, getting closer to him with every step. "Don't ever mess with my friends. You just stick to loving Jess, okay?" she glared at him.
"I…I…got it." He stammered. "Can all of you just leave? And don't think I won't be spreading these rumors around school. I'll make your lives miserable!"
"That's impossible." Alice said. She grabbed Bella's hand, and kept her arm linked with mine. "With my two favorite people in the whole wide world, my life will always be complete." She hugged Bella and kissed me again.
And with that, we left.
