"There, all done. What do you think, Bella?" I asked her as I spun the chair around so she could look at herself in the mirror. I stood behind her with my arms resting on the back of the chair, waiting for her reaction.
She frowned at her reflection. "Alice…is all of this really necessary? I am not even going anywhere. And this took like…" she stopped as she looked over at her phone, reading the time. "Like three hours, Alice. I don't even like dressing up. And what is with the dress? Whose is it anyways?" she started babbling and I rolled my eyes at her in the mirror.
"Hmm…Edward was right, you sure do as a lot of question," I said with an easy laugh. That quieted her, her eyes resting on me in the mirror. "And, yes, it is necessary, I don't get to do this a lot, and I don't actually get the chance to act human so why not dress you up?" I said with a small laugh. "You look great if that makes you feel any better. Perfection takes time," I said with a bright smile in her direction. "And the dress is yours to keep," I said matter-of-factly.
Bella twirled her hair softly, probably thinking that she was going to break it. I beamed down at her. Edward had made the decision last night, that he would be taking her to the prom. Bella didn't know of course, because mostly if she did she would not be this patient. Edward said that she did not like dances and I guess I could see her point, I wouldn't like dances either if I was a klutz.
"Edward," I sang and in moments he was in my large bathroom. "She looks great, doesn't she," I said, smiling broadly at my piece of work.
"Alice," Bella complained in a groan as she ducked her head in embarrassment.
"You look stunning, Bella," Edward told her as he shot a smile my way, giving me his thanks. "Are you ready to go?" he asked her as he stepped inside the bathroom even more.
She nodded her head eagerly and stood but I shoved her back down in the seat. "Hold on, I need to get your shoes…er shoe," I corrected as I turned and walked into my closet, grabbing the stiletto shoe box by the door.
Oh, no, Alice, I can not walk in heels," Bella panicked as she shook her head. "I can barely walk on two feet and you are expecting me to walk on a heel like that with a broken leg in a boot. Yeah, this will work out great," Bella added sarcastically.
"You will be fine and like you said, you aren't going anywhere. Just take it off when you get home," I said with a laugh.
"But…fine," she answered as I put the heel on and tied the lace securely.
"Now, you are done," I told her as I took her hand and helped her out of the chair.
"Alice, don't you think you are overdoing it a little? We don't need another broken leg," Edward said to me, his eyes clouding with worry for a moment.
"She won't fall, I promise, and anyways you will be there," I said with a smirk in his direction.
He sighed and took Bella from me. "Alright, let's go Bella, and thank you, Alice, see you soon," he said.
I laughed as Bella made no comment about the tuxedo that Edward was wearing, maybe she hadn't noticed it. "Thank you," Bella said somewhat grudgingly as she looked back at me and smiled kindly.
I nodded and followed them out of my bedroom but turned to walk down the hallway. I entered Emmett and Rosalie's room to find my husband sitting on the floor across from Emmett, both engaged in a chess game. Neither of them looked up to see who had entered the room.
I smiled as I walked up behind Jasper and placed my hands on his shoulders. "Thanks for ignoring me," I murmured as I moved my hands up to his neck and then into his hair.
He chuckled and turned to grab my knees, knocking my weight from under me and pulling me into his lap. "You are very welcome," he answered as he stared at me for a moment.
"Come one, guys, get a room," Emmett snorted and we both turned to glare at him. I settled myself in Jasper's lap as his arms wound around me easily. "It is your turn and no cheating, Alice," Emmett said as he pointed his finger at me.
I stuck my tongue out at him and we both laughed. "And actually, I need to borrow Jasper for a while. Do you mind if you guys finish this later."
"Sure-"
"No, let us finish, Alice, I was about to win," Emmett whined.
I glanced down at the board and then back at him. "No, you weren't, Jasper is winning," I stated with a smirk. "He needs to get ready," I said.
"Whoa, darlin, we have like an hour and a half until we need to be there," he said as he fit his chin on my left shoulder. "Twenty more minutes?" he asked with fake pout and a quick kiss to my ear.
"I say this again, get a room," Emmett cut in with laughter.
I stuck my tongue out at him and he snickered. "Fine, twenty minutes," I murmured as I started to pull myself from him.
"Hey, where are you going?" he asked as he looked at me with a pout.
"I am going to go get ready, and anyways the two of you will have seven minutes until Rose gets here," I told them.
They both nodded as I stood from Jasper's lap and silently left the room. I walked into Jazz and I's room and walked into the bathroom, starting to clean up the beauty products I had out for Bella. I placed them in the cabinets and then wiped everything down quickly.
Once I was finished, I started to curl my hair. Just as I predicted, Rosalie came through the back door and up the stairs to her room. Moments later, I heard footsteps entering Jazz and I's room. He padded into the bathroom and leaned against the door frame. "Do we really have to go to this?" he asked.
"Yes," I answered as I put away the curling iron and waltzed out of the room but turned around to walk back in. "You," I said as I walked towards the shower and turned the water. "Need to get a shower. You have dirt in your hair from goofing off," I said with a frown.
"No, I don't," he said with a smile as he remained planted by the door.
I narrowed my eyes at him, walking over to him quickly. "Stop stalling, mister, now come on," I said as I placed my hands on his shirt, unbuttoning the fabric easily. "Jazz, I swear I'll-"
My voice cut off as I sucked in a deep breath. A wave of lust fell throughout my body and I shivered while I clutched Jasper's arm. "You swear you will what, sweetheart" he coaxed as one of his arms wrapped around my waist.
My eyes rested on his chest and I pushed the rest of his shirt off of his arms so it fell to the tile floor. "Jazz," I whispered as my hands ran over his bare chest. I looked up at him and frowned, trying to push away the small waves. My eyes rested on his lips and I saw the smirk that curved his lips upwards.
"Mmm?" he hummed with a coy grin as he shifted so his lips were barely an inch away from mine.
I closed my eyes and laughed quietly. "You little cheater. Stop, maybe later," I told him as I quickly pecked his lips and pulled away before he wrapped his arms around me.
He grunted and then sighed. "I don't want to go to prom, can't we do something else?" he asked in a fake whine.
"Oh, you want to do something else? I really need to go shopping. We can go out to Seattle so we can get what I need. Maybe even-"
"Actually, I changed my mind, prom is fine," he said quickly as he let out a chuckle.
I giggled and winked at him, skipping out of the large bathroom and into our even larger closet. I walked towards the back and picked out the dress that I had designed with the help of Rosalie about a month ago. I picked up the silk fabric and peered at it.
I set it back and my closet shelf and undressed. I slid the dress over my head carefully and fixed over myself. I stood in front of the large mirror as I looked at the dress on me.
It was a black dress, long sleeved, a deep V for the neck and for the back, and went to my knees. The dress was form fitting, clung tightly to my was up to my chest but loosened as the fabric reached my legs. The dress had shapes cut out of it, from my arms, a few around my midsection, and then some randomly placed from my waist down. All complements of Rosalie.
I pulled out a pair of earrings and a matching necklace and put them on. I looked at the purple velvet box that sat on the dresser and smiled, grabbing it and then opening it, looking at my wedding ring.
I decided to wear it. I mean, it wasn't really going to school and who would notice or really think about it. I slid it onto my finger and smiled. I looked back into the mirror and then walked out of the closet and into the bathroom.
I went through my hair one more time as Jasper stepped out of the glass shower, turning the water off. He wrapped a towel around his waist and smiled at me. "You look beautiful," he murmured as he walked over to me, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Really?" I asked with a smile as I placed my hand over his.
"Really, you always look beautiful," he answered as he leaned down to kiss my cheek. Our eyes met as we stared into the mirror until his eyes floated to my left hand. "You're wearing it," he murmured as he took my left hand in his.
"Yea, I mean, why not? It can't hurt and I think that it matches very well with the dress," I told him as I looked at our twined hands.
"You would say that about any outfit," he chuckled as he twirled me around to face him.
"Yes, I would, You couldn't have gone wrong with this ring when you picked it," I laughed. I kissed him quickly and then started to tug on his arm. "Now, come on, we should leave soon," I said.
We walked into the closet and I went to grab my shoes, a black pair of stiletto heels that were about four inches tall. I slid them on easily and stood, smiling at my new height for now.
I looked over to see that Jasper was already dressed and was now putting on his tie. I sauntered over to him and took the tie from him, fixing it around his neck and then tying it carefully.
"Will we be riding with Rosalie and Emmett?" he asked me as he took my hand.
"No, Carlisle is letting us take his Mercedes," I said as I scrunched my face up. "Rosalie and Emmett apparently have plans afterwards…" I hinted as I stuck my tongue out.
He chuckled softly as we walked into our room, pausing a moment so I could grab my hand purse that we had designed with the dress, and then walking out of the room and shutting the door behind us.
We walked down the main staircase and saw Carlisle and Esme walk into the foyer then. He tossed Jasper the keys to his car. Have fun and tell us how it goes," Esme said with a bright smile.
We both nodded and all of us turned our heads as Emmett and Rosalie walked down the staircase. Rosalie was wearing a red dress that was short and hugged her body while Emmett was wearing a tuxedo similar to Jasper's.
"Wow, that dress is even better in person, it looks great on you," Rosalie said with a bright smile.
"Thanks, Rose," I murmured as I leaned into Jasper's side a little more. "Ready?" I asked with a short bounce.
Jasper looked down at me and chuckled. "Of course.:"
"Have fun," Esme called again as the four of us walked towards the garage. Jasper and I walked over to the Mercedes as Rose and Emmett got into Rosalie's car. Jasper opened the door for me and I sat in the passenger seat. A moment later, he was in the drivers seat, starting the car, and backing out of the garage.
After about a minute of silence, Jasper turned to look at me, a grin on his face. "Why so excited?" he asked me. "You are becoming contagious," he chuckled.
"I have never been to a prom before, or at least I don't think I have…" I mused as I thought for a moment.
"They are nothing to get that excited about. They aren't that amazing," he told me as his eyes moved back to the road.
"It sounds like fun-wait…" I paused a looked over at him instantly. "You have been to a prom before," I accused as I put the pieces together. I should have known. He went to high school when he was human. "Who did you take?" I asked him, instantly enthralled.
"What makes you think that you have to go with someone to go to prom?" he asked with a light chuckle.
"True, but who does that? Anyways, I have seen your human pictures. If you want me to think that girls were not all over you or at least had a crush on you, you are wrong," I told him in an amused tone. "Tell me who you took," I prodded.
"Emma Smith," he murmured and then turned to look at me, silently asking if that was enough information.
"Uh, no, mister. Tell me about her. What was she like? Or what did she look like?" I asked him with a grin.
He looked over at me in confusion. "I thought wives didn't like hearing about their husbands ex's," he said as he glanced at me again.
"Well, I am not a normal wife and I want to know. I am not the jealous type," I told him. Jasper smirked at me, his eyebrows raising as if saying 'Really?'. "Ok, in most occasions I am not, but that is totally different and you know it," I sighed.
I had a right to be jealous of Maria. She had him first and had him thinking that he loved her. She was his creator, which means that there will always be a link between the two of them.
"Never mind, forget I said that, I am sorry, darlin?" he apologized as he looked over to see my facial expression.
I shook my head at him and smiled. "Don't be, and I still want to know about Emma," I told him.
"Ok," he said with another smile, shaking his head at me. "We were both in the same grade, both Juniors. She wasn't that tall, if I can remember, maybe five foot two. She had long straight blond hair and had very blue eyes," he said quietly.
"How did you meet her?" I asked as Jasper turned onto one of the small highways.
He smiled. "I knew her since I was a baby. Our mothers were friends and we were only three houses down in the same neighborhood. Whenever her mother came over or my mother went over to their house, they would always bring us. We would play for hours and we had our own secret hideout. She was so easy to get along with, not one of those girls that whine over everything," he said with a chuckle. "We started going out at the end of tenth grade," he told me.
"And…?" I prodded on as I smiled up at him
"And…I took her to prom," he said as he looked down at me. "Is that enough for you?" he asked me as he brushed his hands over my cheek and through my hair. I shook my head at him and his hand slid to my neck before pulling away. "What a curious little wife I have, what else do you want to know?" he asked.
"How did you two break up?" I asked as I stared at his face.
"That is complicated. We never broke up in person I guess. I told her that I had enlisted and made it into the army and would be leaving in September. She promised to write to me-"
"Aww, that is so sweet, now I am jealous," I told him as I rested my head on his shoulder. Jasper turned into the parking lot at the high school then as I continued. "So you never really broke up?" I asked as I frowned slightly.
He shrugged and I looked at him, wanting him to go on. "We wrote to each other for about a year…and then she stopped writing me. About four months later she wrote me again. She told me that she was sorry and that she had found someone else," he continued.
"Oh," I murmured as I shifted my head to look up at him. "Why didn't you go back? You could have tried to change her mind, you know?" I told him.
"My time wasn't up yet, I still had about a year. And anyways there was nothing I could do. They were already engaged," he murmured as he parked the car and turned it off.
"Oh," I said again. "That must have been rough, I am sorry," I said sincerely as I took his hand in mine.
"It doesn't matter, Alice. I have you, and I am much happier this way," he told me as he squeezed my hand.
I giggled as I lifted my head slightly so we were only an inch apart. "I love you," I whispered as I leaned in, tilting my head to the slide but stopped short so I could barely feel his lips on mine. "So much," I breathed against his lips before I closed the small space between our lips. Our kiss was light at first but became more passionate as the seconds ticked by. Jasper's hand moved down the side of my body, stopping at one of the cut-outs.
"I am starting to like this dress even more," he whispered as his hand rested on my hip. "Maybe we could skip the prom…" he started as he breathed against my lips. His breath was so hypnotizing that I wanted to agree with him. I felt his hand slide underneath my dress, moving against my thigh soothingly.
"As tempting as that sounds…" I murmured as I kissed his cheek and then tugged on his arm, moving myself to sit in my seat now. "I want to go to prom," I continued with a smile.
He nodded and stepped out of the car, shutting the door behind softly. I moved myself so I could open up my car door but before my hand reached the handle, it opened. I was welcomed by a hand and a large smile.
I took his hand, smiling warmly at him as he helped me out of the car. He shut the door behind me and wrapped his arm around my waist loosely. He brought his lips close to my ear for barely a second but I heard what he had murmured.
"You, Mrs. Whitlock are in for the prom of your life."
I was going to finish it up but then i thought it would be too long so i split the chapter in half. I need to work on the next part more anyways because Jasper and Alice will see Jacob for the first time and I am still trying to figure that out...
