"Alice, you need to get up now," Jasper's voice whispered in my ear.
"Don't wanna! Go away Jazzy," I mumbled back unintelligibly.
"You need to Alice, or you won't have time to pick out a good outfit," he whispered, smiling into my neck.
Damn, he knew the weakness. Well, it is fairly obvious I suppose.
"What time is it?" I asked drearily, trying to stretch in Jasper's vice grip.
"6:45. Your Mom left about ten minutes ago," he told me.
I wriggled out of his arms and sat up slowly. Glancing at the mirror, I pulled a disgusted face. Ugh. My hair was a total mess and I had bags under my eyes. I could have been a vampire apart from my green eyes and the fact I wasn't beautiful at all. I stretched and headed over to my closet to pick out my outfit. Hmmm…….mini-skirt, black tights and my checked shirt I think.
"Jazz, I need to change,"
Jasper closed his eyes as I began to change. I could have sworn I saw him peeking!
"I'm decent," I told him as he removed his hands from his eyes.
"Actually, you are utterly indecent. It should be illegal to look as beautiful as you do," he said, wrapping his arms around my small frame.
"Really?" he nodded, "Well, I think it should be illegal to look as handsome as you do," I teased, kissing his cheek.
I pried myself away from him to fix my hair. I brushed it carefully before beginning to put on my make-up. Thank god someone invented it!
"You know, you really don't need make-up," Jasper insisted.
"I am not going to school with bags under my eyes!" I argued.
Jasper sighed deeply, accepting defeat as I started to brush my teeth.
"Breakfast time!" he declared once I was done.
I raised my eyebrows.
"Let me rephrase that. Breakfast time for the human," he amended.
Once I finished my breakfast, Jasper and I headed out of the house.
"Jazz, why is your motorcycle here?" I asked, as I saw the crimson motorcycle sitting in front of the house.
"I'm taking you to school," he replied simply, as he swung a led over it.
"Oh," I ran over to him and got on as the engine revved loudly.
We reached school quickly and although everyone knew we were together, that didn't stop the shocked stares. Soon, the bell rang and I headed to homeroom.
"Hey Alice!" Lyra grinned as I sat down.
"Hi Lyra. Where's Marisa?" I asked, noticing the other girl was missing.
"Oh, she's away visiting the Denali's in Alaska," she explained.
"Jasper told me about them last night! They share your diet don't they?" I said, remembering the name.
"So, did Jasper tell you how he was adopted last night?"
"Yeah. I can't believe it was so horrible! How could Maria do that to him?" I whisper-cried.
"I don't know. I've never met the woman myself, but the way Jasper describes her, ugh, I could kill her," Lyra growled angrily at the thought of her brother being treated like that, "Did anything else happen last night?"
"Well, I kissed him," I told her
Lyra whisper-squealed happily.
"Oh, this is perfect! Jasper's always been unconfident about our diet but now that's happened, his confidence will grow! I mean, if he kissed his singer and didn't hurt you then, he's so much stronger than he imagined and-,"
"Girls?" Miss McKeown said.
"Yes miss?" Lyra asked pleasantly.
"Would you like to share your discussion with the rest of the class?"
"No, that's alright, miss," she replied, still smiling.
Ms. McKeown pursed her lips and continued to talk to the rest of the class.
The bell rang and as usual, Jasper was waiting for me at the door.
"Hi Jazz!" I chirped.
"Hey Ali," he greeted me, smiling at my cheerfulness, "Guess what?"
"What?"
"I got my schedule changed to match yours!"
And, like the girl I am, I squealed. Jasper laughed at my obvious glee.
"All our classes are the same?"
"Yes. And, after school I'm taking you to our meadow,"
"Really?" I cried.
"Yep. I have something to show you," he said mysteriously.
I was so happy today, he could probably get away with calling me a hyper-active pixie and I wouldn't care!
Chem dragged on slowly as always, but it was slightly better with Jasper beside me. After what seemed like years instead of hours, the school day was over and Jasper and I were at the meadow. He put a finger under my chin and tilted my head up to look at him.
"Remember I said the sun doesn't harm us?"
I nodded.
"Well, we still can't go out in it,"
"Why not?" I asked, frowning.
"You'll see,"
The clouds began and Jasper removed his t-shirt. I gasped as I saw his bare chest. He had a flippin' 8 pack! The muscles were prominent, but not like Emmett's, they suited his frame perfectly.
The sun began to shine brightly and as it did, his skin began to sparkle as if it had a thousand diamonds imbedded in it. My breath caught in my throat, making a small smirk appear on his face. We both sat down on the grass, my eyes fixed solely on him. Unconsciously I reached out and began to trace the muscles on his stomach. Jasper closed his eyes, sighing. I widened my eyes, realising what I was doing, removing my hand and muttering an apology.
"It's okay. You can't imagine how good it felt," he replied softly, still sparkling beautifully.
I longed to keep touching him but at the same time, I didn't feel the need to. Obviously, with Jasper things were different than with other guys I had dated. Emotionally and physically. I knew the feelings I had for him were only the beginning and I wanted to get more emotionally connected with him before anything physical occurred. I wasn't quite sure how to put it into words.
I lay my head on his chest, cuddling up to him. Jasper's weight shifted as he moved his hand up to stroke my hair.
"I love you Jazz," I whispered.
"I love you too Ali," he whispered back, his lips touching my hair softly.
I smiled contently and wrapped my arms around him. We stayed like this for some time, until the sun had set.
"I think I should take you home now Alice,"
I pouted, following him back to the motorcycle. Jasper began to put his shirt back on when I said, "Do you have to put it back on?"
"Well, as much as you seem to like me with out it, I'm afraid I have to," he replied
The blood rushed to my cheeks as an usually heavy blush (well, unusual for me) coated my cheeks. Jasper's head whipped around and I saw his eyes darkening rapidly.
Before I realised what was going on, Jasper had me pinned to a tree, his head at my neck. He breathed in deeply and something cold and wet touched my neck. I shivered, realised it was his tongue, tasting me. He bit my pulse point ever so slightly and I gasped at the contact. Hearing my gasp, Jasper flew away from me and, not expecting it, I fell forward. A hand wrapped around my waist, just as I was about to hit the ground.
The unknown person lifted me to my feet and I turned around to see…….Lyra!
"Lyra! What are you doing here?" I cried.
"I was staying near you. Jasper agreed I should, incase he……incase he lost control," she explained.
Jasper!
"Where is he? Is he okay?" I was suddenly extremely worried about him.
"He's fine. He went back to our house. He is only scared for you,"
"I need to see him! Tell him not to worry! Please let me go Lyra!" I begged.
Her expression was pained, as if torn between letting me go or not.
"I'm sorry Alice but he needs to hunt before he can see you. I'll tell him to visit him tonight and if he tries to disagree I will drag him there myself," she answered eventually.
I sighed accepting defeat, and Lyra took me home, before going to collect Jasper's motorcycle.
I opened the front door silently and crept up to my room. I took out my cell and speed-dialled Jasper.
"Hi Alice," Jasper answered immediately, sounding weary.
"Hey Jazzy. You alright?" I asked worriedly.
"Me? What about you?" he cried.
"Jazz, I'm absolutely fine. Are you coming over?" I questioned, praying the answer was yes.
"Sorry Ali, but I can't. And I'm not going to be at school tomorrow. Hunting trip with Edward and Emmett," he replied apologetically.
"Oh," I said dejectedly.
"But there's gonna be a thunderstorm on Saturday and we're going to play baseball. Do you want to come with us?"
"Yes!" I immediately cheered up.
"Great! I'll pick you up at 11:00am. Love you, Ali,"
"I love you too Jazzy," I called before the phone cut off.
I still felt quite disheartened that I wasn't going to see Jasper tomorrow but I would see him all day Saturday! I slipped on my pj's and crawled into bed. Soon, I was asleep.
A/N: HELLO!!! Okay, I'd like to answer a question someone asked. Is Jasper as blood sensitive?
Well, in 'Sunset' world, Lyra and Marisa met Jasper 10 years before Alice would have in 'Twilight' so he's had a bit more experience. Just a bit. Normally, if he kissed a human or something like that, that human would be dead. But since its Alice, he loves her (don't we all?) so it's his love that fights the thirst. Does that make sense? I hope so. Oh, if anyone hasn't watched/read Fruits Basket (you insane people) then do. Like now. Ahem…..GO SAKI HANAJIMA!!! She's in Fruits Basket. She rules. REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!
