THE IRENE DISCUSSED IS NOT FROM THE DENALI COVEN, INFACT SHES AN OC OF MINE FROM MY STORY 'TWINSIES' ( ITS ON Dr Mini Me NOT THIS PROFILE )
I WILL GIVE ALL THE DESCRIPTION NEEDED FOR HER AS A CHARACTER SO THERES NO NEED TO READ IT BUT THIS WAS MY SOLUTION TO ALICE AND THE CULLENS.
Brittney left in a flurry of awkward goodbyes and it seemed like she wasn't about to call back anytime soon again, thanks to Jasper. I was a little miffed my best friend didn't want to stop to talk about stuff anymore but I forgot about it quickly. Mine and Jasper's relationship took the forefront of my mind lately.
I'd been around Texas for a few months now and during that time, it seemed like Jasper and I just got closer and closer. I started to find I had more clothes over at his place or that when I wanted to leave an event I'd ask if we could go home. When I did he'd just nod and get the most blood curdling love sick smile over his face as he kissed my hand.
Of course there were times I just point blank got bored out in the middle of no where. There wasn't much to keep me preoccupied outside of Jasper himself now that Charlotte and Peter went on their way. When this happened he'd take me out, still keeping a hardcore close eye on me when he did.
"Jasper, would you stop growling at the waiter? Its not his fault we got seated in his area." I bite out after he took our drink orders and Jasper verbally tore his head off his shoulders for him. He leaned across the table to look at me as I raised a brow at him.
"Look. Baby doll. You don't understand it at all. I know what hes feeling and I know its not just professional. If you were in my place, you'd have told him to keep his eyes off me too." Jasper huffed and settled into his chair after he told me off. I grumbled under my breath and just stared harder at the menu. Stupid vampires.
"Ma'am, I uh...I was wondering if you had your food order together yet." The waiter came back and was looking between Jasper and I nervously. Jasper's eyes narrowed at him, he was watchful and suspicious. Like a crazy overbearing mother.
I told him my order, pizza without anything on it. Jasper nodded and handed both of our menus back, staring the waiter down. I admit he could look scary when he wanted, I just never really took him seriously until the...spankings. I still got embarrassed when I thought back to those.
"Branwen. I have a question, if you answer it, I won't go over to that mans manager and get his ass fired for his perverted soul. Alright?" He leaned closer to me, over the table again. I narrowed my eyes as my mouth dropped down in a scoff. Of course he'd use that as leverage. Stupid asshole.
"Fine. " I growled and glared at him.
"Is your inability to allow me to do my job as your mate from your mother?" Wow. He didn't even beat around the bush, just jumped right into that pool of boiling hot lava. I shrugged, leaning back and looking away from him. I immediately felt uncomfortable discussing...her.
"It is, isn't it? I read over the police reports, babe. You two had quite the fights." He leaned back as well, talking to me in a low voice. He was watching and monitoring my reactions again. Sometimes I felt like a big science project for him.
"Okay, so what if it is? No one should have to grow up with a woman like that. Shes why I'll never had children and yes. When you turn into a possessive asshat, I do think of her. Only difference is she wouldn't bite me for shits and giggles." I bit out and glared as hard as I possibly could at him. He didn't say anything, just watched. I started to feel the need to cover myself from his stare and crossed my arms, looking away from him. Sometimes he just had a probing stare that made me want to spill out everything. After a while it felt hard not to spill it all.
I woke up to the sound of humming and what felt like a cold ice cube tracing lines on my thigh. I blinked watching the long banisters on the oak bed reach up into a creme coloured canopy, the sunlight glinted off its glossy finish. I rolled over, looking at the way the sunlight danced off Jasper's skin as well. He glittered, it took away from the crescent shaped scars over his body. His eyes opened, red met brown. He smiled and lightly kissed my forehead.
"Welcome back to the world, sleepin' beauty." He pulled back and whispered. I groaned and rolled back over, attempting to pull the blankets back over my head. I was still sore from last night but luckily the bed sheets were still a thing. He just snorted at my actions tugging the blanket back down and resting his hand over my stomach.
"Anything good about the dream last night?" He asked. He was forever curious what I dreamed about and partially I figured it came from the fact he hadn't dream in over a hundred years. God he was old. I thought back to the dream itself. It'd been relatively simple, just very...personal. I'd dreamed about a baby between us basically, I didn't really enjoy the thought of a child with him consciously simply because I didn't want any kids and I couldn't see him with any. I shrugged trying to not give anything away.
"You sure?" He asked as he looked down at me. I nodded quickly, it was nothing I wanted to share. He sighed and shrugged at the same time. We got up slowly, well he moved fast. I just kinda shuffled down stairs where he handed me a plate of food. Riley was laying in his wicker bed by the couch, the dog popped open an eye before going back to sleep. Jasper had a tendency to over cook for me, if I ate everything I'd be the size of a house in the few months I'd been in Texas.
It was almost Christmas time anyways, only a week or two to go. I'd gotten a call from my dad asking if I wanted to come up or if a card and a call was a better idea for us this year. I determined that the card was enough. I didn't feel like showing up there again.
"So...Bran..." He started looking between me and the plate. I raised a brow as he paused. It was unusual for him, he generally spoke with a strong voice that screamed confidence.
"I got a call from the Cullens. They wanted to know if we were interested in joining them for Christmas." He stated, watching my face for a reaction. I just sort of stared at him for a second, searching my mind for the term 'Cullens'. I began to slowly nod as I tried to remember who they were.
"I lived with them before..." He added, I began to vigorously nod as I actually remembered. He grinned at my head nodding and I shrugged as I finished chewing.
"Why not? It could be fun." I declared, taking another bite. He raised a brow at my statement.
"And what about spending it with your family?" He was testing the waters, hesitantly I may add. Last time he asked about my family in the restaurant I'd snapped at him after we got home. He wasn't allowed in the bedroom for a few days and surprisingly, he obeyed.
"They're unavailable." I stated with a sharp infliction on the unavailable bit. He sighed and looked back down at the plate.
"Whatever you say, baby. We'll start the drive up in a few days then, I'll call Alice to tell her though she probably already knows." He stood up, stretching and walking over towards the phone on the wall.
I wasn't sure why he hadn't just gotten a cell phone, I mean it was 2015. Maybe I'd get him a cell phone. I thought briefly of a big guy like Jasper trying to gently push button on a glass screen and dismissed the idea quickly. I looked over as he held the metal phone in between his fingers, he was staring blankly into the wall.
"Yes, Alice. I'll tell her." He sighed. I raised a brow at this, they were discussing me?
"Alice, you don't need to buy any more clothes. N- Just put Irene on the phone!" He had become exasperated and I started to giggle off to the side.
"Just tell her that Bran doesn't need any clothes. Shes fine on clothing, okay? Please, Irene?" He rolled his eyes at me and continued talking to Irene, whoever that was.
"Thank you, yeah tell Esme I said hi. Yup. Bye." He slammed the phone down and let out a deep breath. I walked over and laid my head on his shoulder, watching him smile down at me.
"They're excited." He declared with a gust of regret colouring his words. Alice sounded like she was very much excitable and into clothing... I shrugged, it could be fun. I turned around and grabbed the plate taking towards the sink. I was silent as I washed it, thinking on what to say about it all.
"By the way, I never asked. Is it going to be awkward to have me and Alice there?" I queried still methodically washing the dish. He snorted.
"No way in hell. She found a mate not long after we stopped fooling around." He replied confidentially behind me.
"So? It could still be awkward." I restated. It was going to be a little awkward for me as a human.
"Sweetheart, I get where you're coming from, I really do. Thing is, Alice's taste...it isn't for men." He supplied carefully piecing it together. I Oh'd in understanding. Well at least I wouldn't have to feel awkward about it all.
I wasn't entirely understanding when Jasper said that we would be driving for a few days. He wasn't freakin joking about that, at all. Riley was in the trunk of his new car. Apparently when we'd found that my luggage and Riley's luggage didn't fit in the back of his little Porsche, he though it best to upgrade to a some SUV from Audi instead of just telling me to pack less.
"So let me get this straight, your brother, Edmund, can read minds?" I asked, a little astonished. I'd been going over his family members, trying to expect the unexpected. I was already thrown off when Jasper manipulated both myself and apparently the dog.
"Edward and yeah he can. Alice can tell the future and her mate, Irene has something to do with her will." Jasper corrected then explained the rest of his family. I nodded along until Irene's power.
"Her will?" I questioned sounding rather confused. He nodded and pursed his lips like he was trying to think of a way to explain it.
"When she was human, she was stubborn as a mule. It was her strongest trait so when she was changed, it changed with her." He determined and I raised a brow.
"What? Like what does that even mean? She can hold her breath until she turns blue? She can refuse to do anything? She can throw a big, destructive, temper tantrum?" I basically repeated what I'd been wondering earlier though I had to admit I sounded a little snotty. He snickered and shook his head no.
"Naw, more like if she tries hard enough she can make your brain pop like a tomato." He stated loftily. Apparently that wasn't a big deal for him, I however, felt the blood run out of my face.
"Really?" I whispered trying to imagine a woman able to just watch people's brains explode.
"Mhm. When she was first turned, she basically almost caused a teacher to turn into a vegetable. He passed out and on the way to the ambulance, he woke up all in a tizzy. She thought she'd killed him." He was laughing pretty hard at the memory as he said it. I let my mouth pop open in shock.
"THATS NOT A GOOD THING, JASPER." I scolded and smacked his arm. He calmed his laughter and took in a deep breath, letting the grin disappear.
"Relax, babe. Shes harmless. Alice will be more concerned with making friends with you while keeping Irene within sight at all times." He snorted again, the grin reappeared as he rubbed my thigh. He was trying to comfort me but it just got me in even more of a tizzy.
"I'll be there doing the same thing anyways." He remarked after his laughter died down again.
"Do tell." I quirked a brow at him.
"Well I'm not about to let you wander off again. Theres a pack of shape-shifters there that wouldn't take too kindly to you in their territory." He explained as he let his hand rest over my knee now. Good grief, how many more mystical creatures were going to pop up? Pixies? Leprechauns? Anything nice?
"Why?" I was asking a lot of questions today.
"They have mates of their own as well as their own people they protect. Really the only time they'll talk to us is the locals are being drained or a rogue wandered onto our territory." Jasper moved his hand to shift the gears, I wasn't sure why he'd gotten a manual except that he liked it more. I suppose the automatics aren't as good at speeding like a mad man.
