Cat and Mouse
Update! Bored me + lots of time =multiple chappies! But seeing how I have no real schedule... yeah. Does that ever through you off? Is everyone enjoying their break?
Chapter Six: Sober (? Nah, I need a drink every now and then)
She awoke the next morning with a splitting headache that she knew could have only come from one thing. She groaned and immediately tapped into Jasper's mind. She found him laid out face down on the floor of his study. Footsteps started toward him. Please be Carlisle… the vampire doctor was right up there with Charlie on my Awesome scale. If anyone could help us, it would be him.
A piercing shriek told me that it was definitely not Carlisle.
The others were at the door at the woman's scream. "What happened to Jasper?" Emmett wondered.
Esme sighed patiently while Carlisle snickered. She smacked her husband's arm.
"It's not supposed to be funny until he wakes up! Go take care of our son!"
I smirked. Now I remember why I loved Esme. She was awesome too.
Carlisle knelt by the blonde soldier and felt for his pulse.
"Damn!" He yelped. "Esme, come feel him. I think he overdid it this time."
The other three obviously hadn't been told and Edward was smirking. Not good.
I decided to make my appearance.
"You wouldn't happen to have an aspirin would you?" I asked the doctor.
"I'll get some." He grinned.
"At least you're awake." Esme sighed.
"He's so gonna get it later… I don't know when or how but I'll kill him in his sleep when he wakes up!" I snapped.
"That would defeat the purpose, wouldn't it, love?" Edward purred. I glared up at him.
"I can kill you too, y'know."
"You really can't." He smirked. He was right and we both knew that.
"Will you two take your lovers' spat somewhere else?!" Jasper groaned. I snorted and rolled my eyes.
"Halloo sleepyhead." I purred sweetly. Jasper grunted and I glanced up to see Carlisle return with the aspirin, some orange juice, and a syringe dripping a clear liquid.
"Sweet relief…" Jasper groaned when he scented the air. I smirked at Carlisle.
"Thanks, but he won't need that."
"That's mean, Bella." He chucked.
The blonde vampire groaned from the floor.
I leaned so I was right next to his ear.
"WHITLOCK!" I snarled. He was on his feet, all traces of his previous nap were gone but his hangover was intensified by my howl.
"That's my name, don't wear it out."
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart!" I spat.
"Don't get me started," Esme chuckled softly. Carlisle was bracing the door and laughing his ass off thank you very much.
"You need me more than I need you, bitch."
"Fuck you!"
He smirked. I pulled out if his thoughts immediately.
"Yes, because I'd love to see you get it on with your wife while I'm in the same room."
"You suggested it."
"How much did you drink last night, Cowboy?"
"You know I hate that name, Xena."
"Well?" I demanded.
"I'd say about 30 bucks worth of cheap stuff. Then I raided your stash and had a quarter of that… then I came home and collapsed.
"Did you do anything I'll regret?"
"Nope. I'm clean."
"Good. I'll kill you later then."
"I look forward to it, Princess, what's for breakfast, Esme?"
"Eggs?!" I yelped immediately. Jasper groaned.
"I hate eggs." He grumbled.
"What kind of evil twin are you?"
"I'm your guard, there's a difference. James loves eggs. Share with him."
"James is off in Greenland gallivanting with Victoria."
"Kudos to him, the crazy fucker."
"Really, Jasper?" Esme muttered wryly.
"Sorry, mom." He mumbled. I smirked.
"What kind of grown man are you?"
"The kind who could kick your ass hangover or no."
"But you won't." I purred.
"I'll leave that for someone else." He muttered darkly. I shivered, but only Carlisle and Jasper saw it. My best friend shook his head.
"So… breakfast?"
"Sure, work your magic, don't burn the food."
"Got it." I snorted.
"Go cook, woman." He growled. I rolled my eyes and left to find breakfast.
"Stereotypical asshole… you're a gentleman, no doubt, but sometimes, you can just be a real Southern asshole, Jas."
"You're fun to mess with." He purred in my head.
"Whatever." I groused.
Problems? Review! Warning: Underage drinking is illegal in the United States. (Isn't it a shame how many high school kids do it anyway?) Did anyone catch this chap's song reference?
