Chapter 18 ~ You and Me

~Jasper POV~

3rd April, 12.45PM

We swung our hands gently as we walked down the quiet street, Alice radiating happiness and me letting it overpower all my own emotions. We weren't walking anywhere in particular, but that didn't matter. We were together. Me and Alice. Me and my Angel.

"Jasper?" She asked softly, and i looked down at her beautiful face.

"Alice?" I replied and she smiled.

"We should probably get back to school soon, they'll miss us if we're not in homeroom." She said.

"I wasn't in morning homeroom," I poined out, "They think i'm off for the day."

"Okay, so you're safe," She said, poking me in the ribs, "What about me?"

I caught the hand she'd poked me with and brought it to my lips, kissing it lightly and making her giggle. Oh, God, how i'd missed that bell-like pixie laugh. "You are going to have to be a rebel for the afternoon, because i'm kidnapping you."

"Kidnapping me?" Alice asked, raising one delicately shaped eyebrow at me.

"Uh-huh." I said with a nod, "I only just got you back, you think i'm going to let you go that easy? No way, Angel, you're coming with me."

"Is that so?" She asked, a smile playing on her lips

"Any objection?" I asked

"Just the one." She said

"What's that?" I asked

"You'll have to catch me first." And then she was gone. She ran at a human pace, because we were out in the open, but fast even so. I shot off in the direction she had gone, determined not to lose my Angel. I wasn't aware of where i was following her too, until i lost her track. I looked around, realising i was in a forest, and Alice was no where to be seen.

"Alice...?" I called out. I heard a muffled giggle and turned around quickly, but there was no one there. I heard another giggle, but turning around gave me the same result as before. "You had better come out here Miss Cullen, or i-"

I was cut off when Alice landed on my back, her legs wrapping around my waste and her arms around my shoulders. "You forgot to look up. I'm an angel, remember? I can fly."

"So you can. How silly of me." I said, and slid her round so she was at my front, legs still around my waste, and moved her arms to around my neck, supporting her back with my own arms.

When she kissed me, everything bad from the past few days was washed away. A tidal wave of loving, happy emotions crashed over me, taking all the negative and bad emotions away with it. It was so perfect, just me and her. This is how it should be. When she finally pulled away, she rested her forehead against mine, her eyes closed, and sighed happily.

"I love you Alice." I said softly. For a second, i didn't think she'd heard me. She didn't move, or respond in anyway, but sure enough - thanks to her vampire hearing - she slowly pulled away after a few seconds and gazed into my eyes.

"Oh Jazz," She said quietly, then again louder, "Oh Jazz!"

She burried her head in my shoulder and squeezed her arms around me tightly. I laughed. "That's where you're supposed to say you love me too."

She gasped and pulled back, "Of course i do! I'm sorry, I...I love you Jasper."

"You and me, Angel." I said

"You and me." She confirmed

3rd April, 1.30PM

I watched in amusement as Alice zig-zagged around picking wild flowers from the forest floor. I said i'd buy her a bunch, but she said these were too good to leave here and was collecting an evergrowing bundle of colours in her arms. She dropped a couple, and when she bent down to pick them up, a bunch more fell down. I held back my laughter at her annoyed expression, and bent down to help her pick them up.

It reminded me of the first time i had met Alice, the first time we had spoken, the first time i had felt her creamy soft skin. When i'd helped her pick up her books in the hallway, exactly one month ago today. Of course, i had seen her before that. How could someone not notice the pure beauty that was Alice? She was prettier than any flowers she could pick, kinder than anyone with a beating heart, and just...Alice. She had once told me that no body noticed her - that no body really saw her. I hadn't believed her and i still didn't. Every ounce of my attention was drawn to her when she was near, every second i could sense her beautiful presence in the room. There was no way to ignore Alice, no way to not notice her.

And why anyone in the world would want to ignore Alice, i didn't know. Every milli-second spent with her was a blessing, in my eyes. Some glorious act from God - though i knew i didn't deserve any sort of gift from the heavens. And that's what Alice was. A gift from heaven above; an Angel. So beautiful and pure and so delicate i was sometimes scared to touch her, incase she shattered into a million pieces, and i found out that she was just some amazing mirage - like an oasis in the dessert.

From the first moment i saw her, sitting in the cafeteria with her brothers, i knew she was something special. I knew that she was an amazing person, and in that first split-second of seeing her pure beauty, i knew i would never see the world the same again. She was the most gorgeous thing my eyes had ever set sights upon, and i doubted anything could top it.

And she didn't even see it.

"Let me take them." I offered, reffering to the huge bundle of flowers Alice was struggling to balance. She beamed at me, and handed over the stack, collecting more and adding to it as we kept walking. I rolled my eyes when the tower reached my chin, "Angel, i think that's enough now."

She looked round and tilted her head at me, not saying anything for a moment, and then nodded. "You're right."

She picked one final flower - a large white daisy - and braided it into her ebony hair. She looked, as always, effortlessly stunning. "You are so beautiful." I murmered, and grinned as her cheeks grew pink. Her blush - whilst embarrasing for most people - looked becoming on her. All i wanted to do was grab her and kiss her, but i was holding the damn flowers.

Then, as if she had read my thoughts, she said, "Drop the flowers."

I did as she asked, and soon her lips were on mine, her fingers tangled up in my hair, and her flowers scattered at our feet.

"You and me." She wispered, for about the hundredth time that day.

"You and me." I said softly, still not believing i was lucky enough to be allowed to say those words.
