Chapter Eleven - Round Two
"No," Jasper folded his arms across his chest and raised his eyebrows stubbornly.
"C'mon, Jazz. How often are we in the south? It'll be okay." Emmett said slapping Jasper on the back happily. Rosalie had made a decision that she wanted to go to New Orleans, she was in the mood to dance and the music I supplied had given her the incentive.
"No, it's stupid, we'll make a spectacle of ourselves." he said dropping onto the bed.
"Alice?" Rose asked and turned to me. I closed me eyes and concentrated on Rosalie's decision to go to New Orleans. I saw the two vampires again but this time they weren't as forgiving, they saw our last actions as hostile. They'll notice the car and come looking for us. The next would depend on our decisions.
"We'll see them again." I said simply. "They'll see the car and come looking for us, but the rest depends on our decisions, so it's hard to make out."
"We'll park somewhere different!" Rosalie said as if it fixed the situation completely.
I was looking forward to dancing again, especially having Rosalie there it would be fun. I knew Jasper was nervous because he knew how the southern covens worked. So I kept his wishes in mind.
"What would happen if they did see us again?" I asked Jasper seriously and sitting next to him.
"It depends on the factors. Are they just living in the city alone, or are they part of a larger coven? Were they made for a reason? I already told you the stories from Mexico City. New Orleans would be a gold mine for a older, more powerful vampire. With the murder statistics as they are there, it would be easy to hide from the Volturi."
Rosalie rolled her eyes and dropped on the bed next to Jasper. She wrapped her arm around his shoulders and rested her head on his shoulder and batted her eyelashes playfully. "Just a couple of hours Jasper, we were on the plane for so long."
"She's breaking out the arsenal now Jazz," laughed Emmett, who was watching his wife as the humor danced around his eyes.
"This is madness." sighed Jasper shaking his head. Rosalie hopped up and clapped her hands in triumph.
"Let's get ready, Alice." she grinned and pulled me into the bathroom. I looked back at Jasper, and he nodded. I knew he would understand. I also knew that he sometimes had a tendency to protect me more than I needed protecting.
After an hour we were ready to leave, with Rosalie driving it would take even less time to get there, the girl was a speed demon. As we followed the G.P.S. we made sure not to follow the directions to the last place we'd parked and we picked a busy and less hidden street to park on. We didn't want to take any chances.
Rosalie was, as always, dressed in her favorite color and looking dangerous. She was wearing a cowl neck lined dress that looked like a second skin, the back was low and Jewels lined the straps, she had told me she bought it in Paris and it was very evident, the simple lines fit Rosalie's body to perfection and the red captured every eye on Bourbon Street. This seemed to excite Emmett rather than make him jealous. Jasper shook his head in disbelief. Rosalie looped her arm with mine and giggled, she'd bought me a gift from Paris it was a fitted pink dress that hugged my figure perfectly, with a halter neck strap and uneven bottom. Rosalie had told me it was all the rage in Europe and it accentuated my legs. I think she'd forgotten who she was talking to. But since it was an act of kindness I let it go.
We headed towards the club that Jasper and I had been in, but there was no live band tonight. They had the jukebox blaring and the bodies were once again packed onto the dance floor. Rosalie took my hand and pulled me onto the floor and started spinning me. The music was infectious, I even saw Jasper and Emmett stood against a wall tapping their feet. Rosalie, copying the couples dancing around us started dipping me and twirling us out and in, it was highly entertaining.
As the dance floor became more crowded the dancing became more personal. Rosalie and I were practically an inch apart so we synchronized our dancing so we could occupy our space safely. Once glance over at Jasper and Emmett told us this was a bad thing. I looked around and half of the eyes in the bar were on me and Rosalie. I laughed and called Jasper to me. I loved Rosalie but it was a little weird. As Jasper approached I wrapped my arms around his neck and began dancing with him in close proximity. He wasn't a huge dancer but he humored me, and I knew it.
The atmosphere was euphoric and Jasper was sending so many emotions and me I almost became giddy, it wasn't intentional, it was as if his was a filter for every emotion in the room. He could normally control this but he was concentration on me. His hands held me close to him and our hips swung together with the rhythm of the music. Jasper smiled and turned my head to Emmett and Rosalie who were now dancing closely together and it was borderline obscene, it was almost sex with their clothes on. If I could have blushed I would have.
I turned my attention back to Jasper who was sending waves of lust at me now. My body had a mind of it's own at this point as it longed to be even closer to my love. I laughed and moved my mouth as close to his ear as I could get it. He leaned in to hear me.
"That could be dangerous in a situation this tightly packed." I said then nibbled on his ear quickly. Jasper grinned and pulled me closer to him. His lips met mine and the gentle, lustful kiss sent shivers down my spine. It was intoxicating, I ran my hand down the side of his face and rested my thumb on his chin. He pulled away gently and looked in my eyes, he eyes were burning with passion my entire being tingled with excitement and my legs felt weak beneath me. Jasper laughed and placed his hands on my hips and pulled me closer so he could move with me as we danced. It was truly the most erotic moment we'd ever had in public. If it hadn't been for everyone else in the bar dancing the same way I would have been quite flustered. It occurred to me that for the first time in a long time we hadn't been concentrating on what we were, we were having fun and enjoying one another's company. It felt nice, it felt right.
The club started emptying at three and it was soon apparent that Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie and I were the only ones still dancing. Rosalie had one of her arms draped over Emmett's shoulders, he had his to hands on her waist and was swaying with her to the music.
I whistled over the music to the two of them and motioned to the door, I had some work to do and we didn't have long to get back. The sun would inevitably be making an appearance. We walked out to the muggy and pungent street and headed towards the car. Rosalie was still full of energy and was practically skipping down the street. She was however still holding Emmett's hand and I had a sneaking suspicion that it was that fact alone keeping the cat calling and wolf whistles at bay.
I smiled happily, I'd had fun. It was nice to be with Rosalie and Emmett when they were in such a playful mood. Things with Rosalie had been so tense for the last couple of years. Jasper plucked me out of my reverie and he literally swept me off my feet and kissed me. He held me cradled in his arms, close to his chest.
As I closed my eyes, I saw the two vampires again, they were with the Mercedes and the male leaned against it waiting for us, the female was sat on the hood of the car and evil glint in her eye, she wasn't happy that we'd come back after disrespecting them the last time. They were alone, there would be no one to back them up for miles.
"Stop." Jasper stopped mid step and put me down on my feet, I smiled up at him. Rosalie and Emmett came closer. "They're at the car waiting. I can't see anybody else around but we need to be careful, they're both pissed."
"I can handle this." said Rosalie and she dropped Emmett hand and marched forward as fast as she possibly could in the public eye.
"Rosalie." Jasper hissed as we followed her as quickly as we could.
"Rose, baby." Emmett whined trying to catch up a little quicker.
Rosalie marched around the corner and headed towards the car. She pulled out the keys and clicked the locks. Swinging her hips far more than what was necessary she continued to walk. We were just turning the corner when she spoke to them
"What the hell are you doing on my car?" Rosalie's tone was poisonous.
"Who the hell are you?" The female spat at her.
"Someone who'll tear every hair from your head if you don't get your ass of my car!"
"Now ladies, calm down." The males voice was dripping with what I was sure he thought was charisma.
"Excuse me?" Rosalie said vehemently. That was my cue.
"You should listen to the girl, she has quite a temper." I said stepping forward and stopping beside Rosalie. We were taunting them, we knew this but they were poorly out numbered and I saw that after the decision we made there would be no trouble, they would walk away with a couple of bruised egos.
"Look what we've got here," purred the female happily.
I tipped my head to the side and smiled simply, I could feel my eyes narrowing and I tried to take control. I didn't want to be provoked into a fight, especially not by this obviously young and inexperienced vampire. "Sorry honey, I don't swing that way." I said knowing that it would insult her. I had seen some of the decisions that were flicking through her head. It was below the belt but I couldn't resist.
The female growled and slid from the hood of the car, her stance immediately became a crouch.
Rosalie stroked my arms gently and giggled happily. "It seems you hit a raw note there," she hushed her voice slightly but stage whispered. "I think she's still in the closet."
The female pounced out of her crouched stance towards us but was caught around the waist by the male. She snapped and snarled as she tried to twist free of his arms. Rosalie and I laughed.
We were being unnecessarily cruel but we knew that if we'd try to do what Jasper and I did the other night they wouldn't be so easy to let it go, and because they were ready for it.
The female began regaining composure and wrapped herself around the male seductively, eyeing us with a venomous stare.
"Oh sweetheart," laughed Rosalie evilly. "You're doing it all wrong."
Rosalie spun on her heels and faced Emmett who was stood a couple of feet behind her. She took off towards him moving her hips seductively as she walked. She looked like a supermodel. As she approached Emmett she put a hand on his chest and then walked around him dragging her hand lightly behind her. As she came to a stop in front of Emmett again she ran her hands down his chest to his stomach and the back up to his shoulders. Without warning she hiked her leg up to his waist, Emmett instinctively caught her leg and held it to him. Her hand shot out behind his neck and pulled his head towards hers. She paused as their lips were a half inch apart. She smiled happily and unwrapped herself from Emmett kissing him on the tip of the nose lovingly and she turned and headed towards me again.
The male's eyes were practically bulging and the female looked just as incredulous. Rose smirked happily, she had them just where she wanted them.
"Okay so now the little lessons over with, I'm taking my husband home, any objections?" she asked sweetly and walked towards them. The male stepped away from the car pulled the female with him. I walked behind Rosalie and headed towards the car. In a split second decision, the female bolted toward me but I saw it seconds before it happened and stepped away from where she would land. She fell to the floor missing her target. Rosalie wound the window down in the car and watched the scene looking entirely bemused.
Emmett and Jasper closed in on the male keeping him away from the fight that was ensuing between me and the female. She continued to dive towards me and I continued to side step. It was actually quite entertaining.
"Doesn't take a hint does she." Rosalie's bored voice came from the car.
"Doesn't seem that way." I moved again as the female crashed into the wall.
"Well I'm bored can you hurry?" Rosalie asked as she turned on the radio. I rolled my eyes and looked at the female who was crouching ready to pounce.
She bounded forward towards me and I stepped away again but this time I jumped on her back and took her down, she landed face down in the street, my teeth were at her neck. I wanted to make it look like her head would be the first thing I took.
"You are never going to win this." I whispered into her ear. "I can kill you, or you can walk away and leave us alone. And I'm warning you now. You see this car in this city again, walk away. There is no need for this, we're here to have fun not fight. Do you understand me?"
The female nodded quickly.
I stood up and moved away from the female and held my hand out for Jasper giving him a smile. He rolled his eyes and shook his head as he took my hand. I looked directly at the male who looked stunned.
"Have a good night." I said in the most sing song voice I could muster.
He nodded once and headed towards the female. I was hoping that this would give us a little more freedom in this city, we didn't want to live here, or feed here. We wanted to have fun. I got in the car and pulled the door closed.
"Alice, you looked positively ferocious when you jumped on her like that." said Rosalie proudly. "Looks like we get to play here again."
Rose started the purring engine and looked out of her still open window, the female was getting up from the ground and the male was trying to help her. "It's been fun!" she called out the window as she hit the gas and the car squealed away from the parking spot.
A/N: Thought it was some time for some fun, they can't always be perfect vampires :)
Who knew Rose could be so much fun?
Hope you enjoyed.
