Alice was lounging on the couch beside Jasper and they were both catching up on episodes of Bones they had missed. She looked up with a smile when Edward came in and joined them.
"What did I miss?" Edward asked with a smile as he looked towards the TV.
"Some tagger fell down and landed on a body and it's stuck to his back." Alice replied without looking away from the TV.
"Wow that's gross." Emmett exclaimed as he came into the living room and dropped down on the couch beside his brother.
"Took the words right out of my mouth." Alice replied. "But it is still pretty cool."
Jasper chuckled softly and kissed her head. He continued to hold her as he watched the episode he looked up when he heard his dad come into the room. "What's up dad?"
"We are going to have some visitors this weekend." Carlisle said with a smile as he looked towards his family.
"Who?" Bella asked as she came into the room and sat down beside Edward on the couch.
"Dr. Sanchez is coming to visit us." Carlisle replied with a bright smile. "He has a conference nearby and I arrived to host him and Maria while they are here for the weekend."
Alice felt Jasper stiffen beside her and she frowned a little but masked it.
"When are they going to get here?" Emmett asked with a look towards Jasper and then Carlisle.
"Tomorrow afternoon and they are leaving Sunday morning." Carlisle replied. "I'm heading to pick up your mother. Dinner should be ready soon. Please don't forget to take the roast out of the oven."
"I got it dad." Bella replied with a smile.
Carlisle gave her a smile and he turned and walked out the house.
Jasper was up and pacing with a frown on her a face. "A weekend?! She is going to be here for a whole weekend!?"
Alice jumped out his burst and frowned a little. "Who? Maria? What's so bad about here?" she dreaded knowing the answer to this question.
Jasper sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at him. "She is my ex-girlfriend. She is freaking mental and clingy and crazy and.." he stopped talking and ran his fingers through his blonde locks.
Alice sat up a little and frowned even more. "Your ex-girlfriend is going to come stay here for the weekend."
"Yes. I can't believe this." Jasper sighed and sat down to look to Alice and he brought her into his arms. "It's okay. She doesn't mean anything to me, hell she never did. We just got together last summer because it was convenient and we were tired of being the 5th wheels with everyone else."
"Then why did you break up?" Alice asked softly as she tilted her head to look up at him.
"Because she went crazy on me. Always calling, accusing me of cheating, trying to be around me all the time. It just got annoying and I had to break up with her." Jasper replied with a soft sigh.
Alice nods her head to show her understanding. "Ahh I see. I'm sure everything is going to be fine. I mean what's the worst that can happen? I'm sure she can that you and I are happy together and just leave you be."
"Yeah, Jazz. That was last year and I'm sure Maria was moved on already." Bella reasoned as she walked into the room.
"Yeah. I guess you're right." Jasper smiled a little and kissed Alice's head gently.
~*~*~*~*~ Friday Night ~*~*~*~
"Jasper!" Alice heard a female voice squeal. She frowned as she placed down her math book and went down to the living room. She saw a curvy Latina hugging Jasper as if her life depended on it. She couldn't stop her frown from deepening as she moved further into the room.
Jasper made a face and pushed back a little. "Hey, Maria."
"How are you, Jasper? I've missed you so much! Why haven't you returned any of my emails?" Maria asked with a frown on her face as she looked to him.
Before Jasper could answer he saw Alice and his smile brightened. "I've been busy with my girlfriend." He waved Alice over and got her hand with a smile. "Maria this is Alice. Alice this is Maria."
Maria and Alice both looked at another and a slight smirk graced her features and she raised an eyebrow. "Your girlfriend?"
Alice frowned a little at her and stood up a little straighter. "Yes. I'm his girlfriend. Alice Brandon." She held out her hand for her to shake, trying to remain civil.
"Hmm." Maria hummed as she slowly shook the smaller girl's hand. "Maria Quinto." She eyed the smaller girl and dropped her hand quickly and looked back to Jasper. "So are you going to show me around this little town?"
Alice clenched her teeth a little and squeezed Jasper's hand a little.
"No. I am." Rosalie said as she came down the stairs and gave Maria and smirk. "All of us are going out for some burgers and then bowling. Alice and Jasper are going on a date tonight." She shot Jasper a look when she saw he was going to open his mouth. "So yeah. Follow me to your guest room and then we can leave."
Maria had a slight pout on her face as she followed Rosalie. She gave one more look to Alice and Jasper before she went down the hall.
Jasper let out a slight breath and groaned as he ran his fingers through his blonde locks. "I can't believe this."
"Me either." Alice whispered as she continued to stare at the hall the girl had went down. She knew she didn't have to worry about Jasper doing anything it. It was Maria she would have to keep an eye out for this entire weekend. "Let's go have fun on our date and forget about Maria."
Jasper nods and smiles down at her. "Sounds like a plan to me, daring. Where are we going?"
"To the movies and then out to eat wherever you want, darlin." Jasper replied as he got her hand and led her out the door.
Alice was giggling as she walked to the car. She looked up just in time to see Maria glaring at her from the guest room window. She glared right back as she got into the car and put on her seat belt. She was definitely going to have to watch out for her.
