AN: Ok so I was a little disappointed with the amount of reviews I got, I didn't get as many reviews for the last chapter as I have been getting for the chapters that I have recently updated. What was wrong, you need to tell me so I can fix it? Was it better with no Alice and Rosalie? Is that it? Even my friend said it wasn't as good as my other chapters, I really liked how I turned out but I guess others felt differently? I really don't know, but if anyone is willing to tell me what was wrong with it so I can go back and fix it, I would really appreciate it! On a good note I would like to give a shout out to one particular reviewer, whose reviews are always amazing and make me smile, Amy Pau thank you so much for your reviews, they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Ok so enough of my rambling, to the next chapter…which I hope you guys enjoy more than the last one! :)

Chapter 18: Shopping With a Mad Woman

Jasper's Perspective

I walked into Rick Shallen and Associates one of the best law firms in New York.

My old boss recommended I try out here first because apparently he was friends with Rick Shallen and knew that they were looking for another lawyer. Whether or not I was up to his standards though I didn't know.

"Hello, I was wondering if Mr. Shallen was in?" I asked at reception.

The receptionists eyes went glassy as she just looked and started at me, this happened all the time, it happened to Edward and Emmett a lot too. Usually if it was someone around my age I would brush it off but this woman was at least fifty. Couldn't she drool over someone her own age?

"Excuse me miss, I was wondering if Mr. Shallen was in?" I tried again hoping that she would snap out of it but I had no such luck.

"I'm Jasper Cullen" I tried a bit louder, "I use to work for Andrew Anthony Jackson McCoy in Seattle and but I have recently moved to New York and I was wond…you still not listening to me are you?"

I turned around and sighed.

"Jasper Cullen did you say?" a middle aged man asked facing me, "You will have to excuse our receptionist she is pretty hopeless most of the time, lucky thing it's her last day today."

"Um yeah I'm Jasper Cullen" I answered with a chuckle.

"Andrew has said many great things about you, he said you may seem a bit immature to start off with but when it comes to your work you take it very seriously" he told me, I couldn't help but nod my head in agreement when he said immature. "He also said that you are quite feisty in the court room and at the moment I need feisty."

I didn't know what to say, this was going to be easier than I thought.

"Andrew sent me some forms that would help you get a position here and I must say I was very impressed" he smiled.

"Thanks sir, I'm glad you like what you read" I responded awkwardly, damn Bella had given me her nerves. I knew I was to close to her last night on the couch but I had to be done to keep Edward away.

"I'm proud to say we have a position available for you if you are willing to take it" he announced

"That's great; thank you so much" I beamed, "We do I start?"

"How about next week?" he asked, "It gives you some time to settle down a bit first from your big move.

"That's good, next week it is" I answered cheerfully shaking his out stretched hand.

"Monday 8:30am, do not be tardy" he instructed before turning and walking off to his office.

Bella's Perspective

"You guys do realise that this calls for a celebration" Alice announced.

"And how do you suggest we celebrate?" Emmett asked curiously.

"The only way I know how that doesn't involve a lot of alcohol and strip of night clubs and loud dance music… SHOPPING!" she shouted jumping out of her seat, grabbing our hands and dragging us out of the corner café before we could protest, I knew that both Emmett and I hated shopping unless it was for a new video game or something.

This was going to be torture.

"This is going to be so much fun, I finally have friends to shop with" Alice chirped as the cab dropped us off on fifth avenue. I didn't know much about shopping but I did know that this was going to be an expensive day.

She pulled us through Tiffany and co, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Abercrombie and Fitch, the world of Disney store, Zara, Gucci, Gap and so many other places that I hadn't even heard of.

When I thought we were finally done Alice thought of another store to drag us to.

She pulled us towards a store with lingerie and bathers in the front windows, hell no, there was no way on earth that I was going lingerie shopping now, I had had enough.

I really enjoyed Alice's company but this was too much.

"I'm not going in there" I shook my head at her, "We have bought enough and besides I don't need any new lingerie, I have plenty."

"Come on you can never have too much lingerie and we bought you a whole new wardrobe why not buy new lingerie as well?" she asked me looking at me with these big puppy dog eyes and a slight pout on her face, I couldn't say no to that.

"Fine" I grumbled causing her to jump up and down and pull me into a hug.

"Ok…this is kind of awkward" Emmett laughed nervously, "How about I meet you guys back here in about half an hour?"

"Ok" I replied.

"No way" Alice shouted causing Emmett, I and everyone else in New York to stop and stare at her as if she were insane. "We need someone to model for and to tell us how we look."

***

I was standing in the dressing room wearing a bra and some underwear…that's all and she wanted me to got out and parade it for Emmett, was she insane?

I must admit they were pretty, they were black and blue with a slightly floral pattern, but that didn't mean I wanted to parade it for my best friend. (AN: Picture on my profile)

"Bella are you ready?" Alice called from the cubical next to mine.

"Ready as I will ever be" I answered back.

"Ok let's do this" she said with enthusiasm, "Emmett are you ready to be blown away?"

"Sure am, show me what you got ladies" she answered, I was going to kill him later, that's if I could ever face him ever again after this.

"Ok so Bella do you want to go first or do you want me to?" she asked.

"You can go first" I answered back, maybe it will give me the chance to run.

Emmett's Perspective

I couldn't help but see the funny side to this and it got funnier and funnier each time I pictured Edward's face, he was going to chuck a fit when I tell him that Bella paraded lingerie for me.

Alice came out first, walking like a model walking down the runway, doing spins and taking poses along the way. She was beautiful, too small for me but I think I should maybe introduce her to Jasper, I think they would balance each other out nicely.

She was wearing a baby pink, lacy sort of bra and matching bottoms.

When she was done parading I clapped really hard as she came and sat next to me to watch Bella's show, she was up now and I couldn't wait for her to come out purely for the fact that I wanted to rub this in Edward's face.

"Come on Bella" Alice called, "It's your turn now."

The door to her change room opened and she came out in black and blue matching pieces that showed her figure off very nicely.

I felt my jaw drop, never ever had I thought Bella would look so hot, right now there were plenty of things going through my mind that I knew would take a while to get rid of.

I was thankful that Edward wasn't a mind reader because he would kill me for thinking of Bella in a sexual way, she was my sister for Christ's sake or at least that's' how I thought of her.

My 'sister' at this point in time was making me go hard; damn I needed to get myself a woman.

Jasper's Perspective

"Hey Emmett, how did you go?" I said answering the phone.

"Yeah good, I got a full time job and but Bella only got part time, but she's ok with it because she said she could just find another part time job for the hours she doesn't work at the café" he answered, "oh and we made a friend and she is really cool I think you would really like her."

"That's good, what's her name?" I asked.

"Mary Alice Brandon, but she goes by Alice" he laughed, "How did you go with the job hunting?

"Yeah good" I answered, "I start on Monday."

"Cool, you start the same time as us" he replied, "So would you be interested in joining us for lunch, Edward is coming too."

"Sorry guys I can't I have something to take care of, I will just meet you back at home tonight" I answered.

"What are you up to?" he whispered into the phone, "Is it part of the plan?"

"Yes it is, I will explain everything tonight" I answered rolling my eyes, "Just do me a favour and ask Bella if she is going out with Mike tonight?"

"Ok hold on a sec…yes she is" he answered.

"Ok that's all I needed to know, I will see to tonight" I smiled and before he got argue of demand what I was up to I hung up on him.

I dialled a different number and waited for someone to answer the phone.

"Hello, City Side real-estate agency, Monica speaking how may I help you today" a person full of fake enthusiasm answered the phone.

"Hello this is…Edward Cullen" I smirked, "I was wondering if Jessica Stanley was in the office."

"I put you through to her" she said.

"Thank-you very much"

"Hello, Jessica speaking how may I help you" Jessica's flat voice answered.

"Hello this is Edward Cullen" I spoke trying to sound as much like my brother as possible, "I don't know if you remember me but I was wondering if you wanted to got out to dinner with me?"

AN: Ok so I know this chapter was kind of short but I had to end it there so I'm sorry it just felt like that was the end. Don't worry though because the next chapter is probably going to be a long one! I hope this chapter was better than the last one those I still want people to tell me what was wrong with the last one so I can fix it. Please review even if you didn't like it then just tell me that, tell me you didn't like it.

Also the third chapter of The Katana vs The Wakizashi is up so please check that out, I think I was a good chapter but I want to know what you guys thought!
