V-V-V-Valentine's Filler!! AKA, Singles Awareness Day *cry*
P-P-P-Poker face is s-stuck in my head!
Any who, who has their special someone with them this V Day? Are you happy, loving to each other? Well, BAH! Those of who don't have someone envy you! Or in some cases, we don't care! But that's okay, lonely singles! We can be EACH OTHER'S VALENTINES! How does that sound? But don't expect any presents from me; because I'm so broke, homeless people give me change.
This chapter has nothing to do with the story, it's not wedged in between Maria and everything in Alice's life, it's just a harmless little cotton fluff thing, so don't ask how this relates to anything. Please. It's also super, magnificently, how-in-the-world-is-this-considered-an-actual-chapter short.
Also, sorry it was later in the day than earlier, since my mom woke me up at 4 in the morning to go surprise her boyfriend at his house. She was all, "Oh, I'll take everyone to see my boyfriend who they all hate and tell them to leave their laptops at home so they would have nothing to do except bask in our filthy love. There's nothing important they have going on today, so it'll be alright!" UGH, everyone should yell at my mom for not letting me stay at home today!
Okay, I don't really have to put the disclaimer up here, do I? You guys already know I don't own it, so yeah.

Alice POV
"Can you explain why I have to come shopping with you guys? Not that I'm complaining."
Rose just continued pulling me along, Bella giggling from behind. At nearly the crack of dawn, the two girls had forced me awake and into some clothes, then stole me away from Jasper so we can come here, to the mall. I didn't understand why Jasper couldn't come along with us.
"Because, we have to get you some fancy dresses. You only have one and that's not going to be appropriate for what you'll be doing." Bella explained. I raised an eyebrow and asked, "What will I be doing that involves wearing a fancy dress?" They both rolled their eyes.
"I seem to recall Jasper asking you out to dinner tomorrow, for just the two of you?" I thought back to yesterday, when Jasper did, in fact, ask me.
"Can I take you out to dinner on Sunday?" I peeked at Jasper and saw him staring at me, a timid smile on his beautiful face. I grinned, nodding at him.
"Sure! Where are we going?" Does this count as a date? Even if it doesn't I'll pretend it was! A night out with Jasper, swoon! Jasper shook his head at me, laughing. "I'm not telling! And please, don't try using your visions to find out, alright?"
I pouted at him, and he laughed again. "I'm serious, Alice. I want for this to be a surprise to you. Don't you want me to spoil you, at least a little bit?" This time Jasper had pouted, his bottom lip jutted out in the most adorable way anyone could imagine. I'm sure I drooled some. I stared at him, my heart both jumping and slowing down from lack of oxygen and wheezed out a breathy "yes." He smiled then, releasing me from his presence.
"Good!" he stated, walking away. He called back over his shoulder, "Oh, you'll need a dress as well! You should go shopping with Bella and Rose tomorrow morning!"
"Oh yeah. I'm still trying to find out where we're going from him." I mumbled to myself.
"I'm surprised you haven't seen this in a vision already." I sighed, shaking my head reluctantly.
"He told me not to look ahead. What is so important that he would tell me to not use my premonitions?" I whispered, in case someone over heard. We stopped in front of a schmancy looking store.
"Alice," Bella came in front of me, placing her cold hands on my shoulders. "You do realize what tomorrow is, don't you?" she asked.
"Uhh, Sunday, right?" Was this a trick question, or something? They both laughed.
"No, I mean do you know tomorrow's date?"
"Yeah, February 14th. What about it." I asked. "Just think about it, Alice."
It took me a few seconds to finally realize what they were trying to tell me. I gasped, a smile forming on my face.
"Is Jasper taking me on a Valentine's date?!" I squealed, jumping up and down on the spot (Note: Alice's casts and braces are off by this time. Please continue reading :)).
"Yes! That's what we've been trying to tell you!" We all hugged in happiness and walked into the store joyously. Bella, Rose, Edward, and Emmett all knew I had feelings for Jasper, and they've tried everything to prove to me that he feels the same, but, from what they say, Jasper is too much of a Southern gentleman (Or from what Edward and Em say, "Country hick") to be forward with me. Edward even confirmed to me that he likes me as well!
Actually, Edward said that Jasper "adores" me, but I highly doubt that.
We stayed in there for about an hour or so, until I had found the perfect dress. It was dark green, and came just above my knees, giving it a fun, yet elegant look to it. We also purchased a pair of black flats, despite Rose and my disapproval, and a simple necklace to go with it. We went home, giggling about the possibilities of tomorrow's outcome.
~+~+ Chapter Break +~+~
"Okay, open your eyes."
I felt the Bella's cold hands leave my eyes, and I opened them, revealing a very beautiful girl standing in the mirror. At first I didn't realize it was me until I blinked in shock.
"Wow! You two did great!" I exclaimed, moving closer to the mirror to inspect myself even more. The girls had put on a smoky black and green eye shadow on my lids, and a faint blush on my cheeks. I'm sure I'll be blushing enough as it is for that. The eyeliner and mascara were light as well, and my blue eyes really popped against the colors. The dress looked even better than it did yesterday, if that were possible.
"We know." They replied simultaneously. I did a girlish twirl before turning toward the door.
"Should I go down now?" I asked eagerly, hoping to see Jasper quicker. "Just wait a few seconds; he's going downstairs to wait for you. He also said that he's 'Sure you look beautiful and he can't wait to see you.' How sweet." Rose teased, and I gently nudged her. Stupid vampire hearing.
When they finally gave me the okay to head downstairs, I nearly bolted out of the room, stopping at the top step. I looked down and saw Jasper clad in a gorgeous tux. If it wouldn't have made me look like an idiot, I would have jumped him on the spot.
He had on the typical black suit, but the tie was a dark green, exactly like my dress. I smiled, cautiously going down the stairs. Jasper held his hand out to me when I was at the bottom.
"Did you know that you look beautiful tonight, Alice?" he whispered in my ear, his cool breath making me shiver. I grinned like a goof while he chuckled in my ear. "C'mon, let's get going." He tugged on my hand, leading me to the door.
We hopped into the Porsche, with Jasper opening and closing my door like a true gentleman, and headed off to wherever we were going. I tried to pry information out of him, each time failing, but at one time he had said, "I promise you'll like it, I promise."
I sat in silence until he stopped driving, rushing around to open my door for me again. I looked at our surroundings.
"Where are we, Jasper?"I asked. It was too dark for me to see what was ahead of me, but there was a faint glow coming from farther up the path. It did seem familiar, though…
"I was hoping you would like to join me on a romantic picnic in the park," he trotted up beside me. "If you want to, that is." He added nervously. I nodded enthusiastically, and let him lead me through the dark. The light grew more and more intense until we stopped, and I stared in surprise at the many candles surrounding the lone blanket on the ground.
"You did all this?" I asked with my voice thick with emotion. Jasper has got to be the sweetest, most caring guy in the world, and I had him all to myself for Valentine's Day. We sat on the blanket, circled by the warmth of the candles, and he produced a basket from behind him. I raised an eyebrow, grinning.
"Are you telling me that you'll be eating food along with me, Jasper?" I teased. Jasper laughed.
"Not in the slightest. You will be the one eating this, and I will watch in amusement." I playfully swatted him on the chest, careful to not hurt my hand, and reached into the basket, pulling out chocolate covered strawberries and cherries. I smirked mischievously.
"If I have to eat, then so do you." I declared. Jasper groaned.
"I'm not going to eat that! Unless," he said, smirking as well. "You want to make a wager." I nodded, already knowing what I had planned.
"What are your demands?"
"If you can't finish everything I put on a plate for you, we'll have to go to school tomorrow and pretend that we're dating." I know it's a high risk, but I'm willing to take it. Anything to feel like Jasper and I were a couple. He only smirked some more.
"Fine. But if I win, I get to ask you to the Spring Prom." I shrugged, trying to be nonchalant, but inside, my stomach was flipping around so much that it could win an Olympic gold medal. Spring Prom, with Jasper as my date? That'll show Lauren that I'm not to be messed with.
"Alright. Let's get started then!"
--+-- (You might enjoy this part, prettykitty8694!!)
One plate of chocolate covered fruits, a fit of laughter, and a glass of champagne later, Jasper and I were laying on our backs, stuffed from the food we practically inhaled.
"Just one more bite, Jasper." I watched as he dramatically pushed the last piece of his sandwich through his lips, chewed for a bit then swallowed. He let out a huge sigh.
"Finished…" he then groaned. "Al-ice…"
Jasper rolled over until his arm had flopped over my stomach, pinning me to his body. My breath left me in a whoosh.
"My stomach hurts…" he pulled me closer to him. "Make it feel better?" he pleaded, whispering in my ear. I think I mumbled something about a tummy rub, but he only chuckled softly.
"You do realize that this means I can ask you to prom?" Jasper sat up and leaned over me, looking into my eyes. All I saw was the absolute beauty of jasper and the night sky in the background, paling in comparison to Jasper's grace.
"Alice, will you go to the Spring Prom with me?"
I nodded mutely, unable to break his intense gaze. Jasper smiled, showing his bright white teeth, and sighed. "Good…" he murmured. I was going to ask what he meant by that when he suddenly got closer to me. And by that, I mean he moved his (Gorgeous, perfect, flawless) face closer to mine. I'm sure that if it weren't for wanting to stay here, I would have died from the pleasure of being this close to him.
"Alice…" he whispered. I blinked. "I won the bet, but… I don't want to pretend to be going out with you. I…" he glanced away, letting me take in a grateful gulp of air, before turning back to me.
"I do want to go out with you. Badly. But I was afraid that you'll reject me. And I just wanted you to be happy, even if that meant being with someone else" His face moved even closer still. "But I don't care about that anymore. I just want you." He got closer, so close that if I were to pucker my lips, they would touch his completely. I sighed in frustration, and grabbed onto the back of his neck.
"Just kiss me already, you idiot!" I growled. I pushed myself upward, capturing his lips with mine in a fiery passion. Soon enough, his cold arms wrapped around my body, and he rolled until I was nestled on top of him, and kissed me back eagerly.
His cold lips moved in sync with mine, and we gradually slowed down our hungry kisses, until we were both breathing heavily. I opened my eyes to see Jasper staring at me just as surprised as I was. (Ugh, I'm not good at kissing scenes…)
"Wow…" I breathed, laughing hesitantly. "Yeah." He agreed. He leaned in for another kiss, and I happily obliged, pulling away when I needed to breathe. I laid my head on his hard chest and breathed in his scent.
Did that just happen? Did Jasper and I have a full blown make out session? If so, then I'm the luckiest girl to ever live, and if not, well my conscious is the luckiest conscience in the history of… consciences. Or something.
"Oh, and Alice?" I sat up, looking at jasper quizzically. I couldn't help but blush when I saw his ruffled hair and clothes out of order. Did I do that? (LOL, imagine that in a total Steve Urkell voice)
"Yes?" Jasper grinned at me, his face full of happiness and light, despite the dark night around us.
"Happy Valentine's Day."
--+--
Errrrrrr, there it was. They finally kissed, even though this chapter didn't really happen at all for them. So technically, they never went on a Valentine's Date, and no one said anything about wanting whoever, and no one kissed anyone. Unless Rose and Emmett had their way in Edward's Volvo again, hurrhurr~
Again, sorry for the lateness, and maybe it'll help next time to start the chapter a few days before the due date, instead of, oh I don't know, starting it LATE LAST NIGHT WHEN IT WAS DUE TODAY. But who said I did that?? No one, right?
About my other two stories, I promise to update them as soon as I can, but this one will always be my main concern, so if I have sudden inspiration while typing a chappie for the other story, then that'll have to wait and I'll come over here. Cause we all LOVE ALICE AND JASPER, RIGHT????
Two more things: Who can't wait till Eclipse? Cause, you know, this'll be the one where Jasper tells his story to Bella and we can see him in all his military, Gawd-I'm-so-good-looking-it's-scary glory. AND, we can boo Maria when she appears and be all, "Eww! We don't like you, missy! Go back to whatever skank town you came from, Jasper loves Alice now! Hissssss!"
Last thing: Favorite line or scene? And another random question! What is your favorite holiday activity? It could be anything, so don't be shy! ;)
Buh bye, lovely people!
