CHAPTER 4

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

A/N: Thanks for the reviews

"Bye Darlin'"

I'm so glad she made it home, but tomorrow I'll be sure to ask her about her unpleasant encounter…ok, someone's way too thrilled down stairs.

As I reached the bottom of the stairs, I saw Alice close a stuffed binder.

"Hi Jazz" she said blasé

"What is that?"

"Oh nothing, I'm just looking for new designs…"

"Then why did you…"

"Oh Jasper, this is so wonderful…" suddenly I was in a tight embrace. She was radiating with love and joy.

"Tell me all about her…oh when can we meet her, oh what does she like to eat, I can cook her favorites, it'll give us a chance to use the kitchen." She's definitely in mother mode. No one could emit emotions like Esme.

"Oh you'll look so handsome at the altar, I can' wait…" if it wasn't for my hearing I wouldn't have been able to catch any of that she was speaking for fast…wait. What did she just…"What? What altar?" I looked over towards Alice "Alice?"

"Oh I'm sorry, I was just…"

"It's ok Esme." She walked over to her so I took this as my chance to see that binder she was obviously hiding from me.

"Jazz..." I stopped as I went through it. I couldn't believe what I saw.

"Alice?" it was a wedding planner.

"Come on, let's go for a walk."

We stepped outside to the front lawn and started walking towards the woods.

"Alice?"

"Wait. Let me explain…" she took an unnecessary breath, "Just know it wasn't easy for me letting you go, it nearly killed me, so to speak. But I couldn't let you know that or else you wouldn't have let me go. Even though we still love and care for each other, we weren't meant to stay together, not in that way. I've always known that, but those visions were always muddled, I just ignored them. But now I can see she's the one for you, she has always been. And I've never seen you so happy, so complete, full circled.

"Why didn't you tell…" I knew everything she was saying is true.

"Things needed to happen as intended, with no interference. I'm sorry that I hurt you, but I can make it up to you by throwing you a fabulous wedding."

I was so baffled, how can she have kept this from me. What she must have gone through but how can she be so happy for me.

"Alice, I don't understand, you're so pleased and content, but none of this is fair for you."

"I was wrong. That vision of you and I at the altar, at the time it was just a glimpse. But I figured it was you and I marrying, but I know now, I can see it so clearly. You weren't marrying me, you were giving me away." She beamed.

So no wonder she can be okay with giving me my happiness because it will lead to her own happiness.

"Alice, I would be honored. But don't you think you're getting a little ahead of yourself planning your wedding."

"No, I'm planning yours, you fool." She smirked.

I was speechless.

"Alice! I'm only met her today, and I'm not even positive she would want…"

"Oh please Jazz."

"Wait. No this can't be possible." After this whole time, I just donned on me. "She's human; I can't be around her…" I started to panic.

"Jazz, you can control your thirst, I know you can. And she can help…"
"How…"

"How did you manage earlier." I remembered back realizing I didn't have to control my thirst; I don't think it even crossed my mind, still… "But…"

"If you're still worried, just hunt more often, and hunt right before you see her."

This was too much, too soon. I can't trust myself with her; I shouldn't be allowed to see her. I need to stay away. But I cringe at the though. I hardly knew her though I could feel myself falling for Leah, and I knew I wouldn't be able to stay away. This is wrong, she's a fragile human…unless… "Alice, does she become one of us?" she has to be, it's the only logical answer. I can feel Alice's emotions wavered. "Alice?"

"I don't know…" she was irritated and confused, "lately I can't see that far into the future or it's just really really obscured."

"Alice what's wrong?" I sensed her vulnerability ...and panic.

"What if I'm losing my visions?" I pulled her close holding her tightly.

"It's going to be alright love…"

"I guess we can deal with it when it comes, but right now we have more important things to discuss.

"What's that?" I was worried as her emotions were scrambled. There must be trouble on the horizon.

She smirked. "What are you going to wear on your first date." She was now pulling me back towards the house. Ugh! I knew Alice all too well. I feared for my life.

"Seth! If you don't hurry up, I'm going to leave without you." I said banging on his bedroom door.

"Geez, Sis. What's with you? It's not like you're late for anything."

"Yeah well I was thinking about checking out a movie before I went shopping." You idiot! Why did you say that for? It's bad enough I ended up giving him a ride so he can meet up with some friends.

"Alright, ready, let's g…"

"It's about fucking time…What?!" What was he staring at?

"You look nice…Leah." He said raising an eyebrow as he was closing his door behind him.

"Uh thanks. I just threw this on. Unlike you I don't need hours to get ready." That's because I started getting ready right after dinner last night. Which reminds me I need to clean my room before mom sees the mess I made with my clothes. I stayed up most of the night deciding what to wear. I don't know why I'm getting so worked up, it's not like I'm going on a date or anything. I'm just meeting a new friend, who just happens to be a really hot gorgeous guy, who I had the best dream about last night.

"Thanks for the ride Leah." He said as we got in the car.

"No problem Squirt."

"Stop calling me squirt and runt! I'm getting bigger than you." He began to pout.

"Yeah, well that doesn't change that you'll always be my baby brother. Not even if you become the hulk." And boy was he. I'm six years older, but he was getting just as tall as me. But he still was a little bitch.

"Shawn's mom is giving us a ride home."

I just nodded an "Okay." Perfect, that means I get to spend more time with Jasper. I know he wouldn't be interested in being more than friends; at least I can have him in my dreams. Though I wish the one last night was real…

I slipped into the shower after coming back from my walk.

I finished quickly, and wrapped the towel around myself. I was humming happily as I walked to my room, drying my hair out, and grabbing my clothes from my dresser. When I tossed my towel on my bed I heard a voice.

"Exquisite." I turned around, mouth opening as I stared at the blonde, meeting golden eyes. "You look absolutely beautiful, you know. With and…without clothes."

He was currently shirtless and pantsless, wearing only his boxers. He stepped closer, a wicked grin on his handsome face.

"Ja-Jasper, what are you doing here?" I asked, grabbing the towel I had tossed on my bed and trying cover my exposed body.

He licked his lips, "I really do like you and I want to call you mine…" His eyes roamed my body lustily, landing finally on my flushed face.

I stared as I felt the heat from my face go down to the place between my legs, and my breathing became ragged.

"I can see it in your eyes; I know that you want me just as much as I want you..." He pushed me down on me bed as he yanked the towel off of me, one hand caressing my face gently, the other keeping him raised above me as I looked into his face, my expression quickly changing from shocked to need. I inhaled his sweet scent deeply and felt my lungs fill the essence of him. My mind was racing to catch up with what was happening.

He let his free hand move from my face and roam my quivering body under him. He pinched a hardened nipple between his fore finger and middle finger and he placed his lips on my neck, kissing me feverishly, making me whimper. He continued to explore my exposed body as I panted, using his knees to part mine…

"Lee, the child lock is on. Can you unlock it?" Seth said pulling me back to reality.

"What? Oh yeah sorry." I can't believe we're here already here.

"You ok? You've been quiet the whole ride?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" Well except for the fact that I was thinking about my sex dream while my brother was in the car.

"Well see you at home. Enjoy your movie and thanks again for the ride. Bye."

"Bye." I said softly.

I sat in the car, staring out blankly. What am I doing here? Why do I have butterflies in my stomach? Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What am I thinking? I'm just setting myself up to get hurt again.

Dwelling on it was just frightening me more, making me think of all the ways he could reject me; laugh in my face, look at me like I was crazy. Like I ever had a chance with him. Time to face whatever was coming. I was nervous, but thrilled at the same time. I would get to see him again, though this may be the last time I get to. Getting out of the car; I was breathing in and out, trying not to think about anything else. As I'm walking towards the theater, I was repeating in my head: Just friends, just friends, just friends.

A/N: Poor Leah, if she only knew.

I know this chapter is a little bit of a filler but I promise the next chapter will be their "Date"
