We were driving down a country lane heading for a quaint little inn that I envisioned Jasper and I having a lovely weekend at. Sunlight was streaming in from the canopy of trees we had been driving through the last five minutes or so. I pictured them about a month ago full of multi-coloured leaves and wished I could have seen them. Ever since I'd been turned I had to stay clear of sunlight and thankfully my gift gave me extra protection. I would have made a kick ass weather girl.
Jasper was fooling around with the radio looking for a station he liked. I saw him finding it and then saw myself changing it half an hour latter when I was sick of his country music. Don't get me wrong; I don't hate any type of music it's just that I can only listen to different genres for a certain amount of time. I'm sick of pop after an hour, I'm sick of Edward playing the piano after an hour and a half. I give rap twenty minutes if I'm feeling generous. I give chamber music five minutes tops. I smack Jasper's hand away and set it on a station that will be tolerable to both of us until we get to the inn.
The sun streams in from another section of trees and I twist my arm this way and that, catching the light and watching my arm shine like diamonds. When Edward told me Bella thought he was beautiful I knew exactly what she meant.
"Don't even think about changing that dial Jasper!"
"Yes, Dear," Jasper replied very patronizingly.
I gave him the evil eye then went back to looking out the window and playing with the beams of sunlight. Suddenly the beams of light disappeared and it made me frown. The sun had still not made a return engagement twenty minutes later and I told Jasper to turn the car around.
"Are we on the wrong road? Did I miss the cutoff?"
"No, I was having fun with my friend Miss Sun and she's clearly not around here."
"So you want me to drive how far back so you can wave your arm around like a child?"
I was going to say twenty- five minutes but his tone changed my mind, "forty minutes should do it."
"Alice, anyone ever tell you that you are a high maintenance pain in the ass?"
"Shut it and turn the car around or it will be a very long time before you get any from me."
"Yes, Dear," Jasper sighed again.
