I had known Alice was going to be angry with me for following her, but considering she was usually so loving and sweet, I had never expected the rage she was expressing in this moment. If this were any other situation I would probably be laughing, but this was no laughing matter and so I pushed the urge to laugh to the very back of my brain. After all, it would only make matters worse if I laughed while my little seer was trying to express her anger. Knowing I was right about Alice, I did my best to keep my expression neutral.

"Jasper, sometimes I think you only listen to my visions when the go the way you want them to." She hissed as her eyes narrowed in to slits. "I told you Maria did not want you to come with me and did you listen? No, of course you didn't listen because it wasn't what you wanted to hear. How would you feel if I acted in the same way? You don't even have to answer because I already know your answer. You would have been enraged and don't even try to deny it Jazz. I cannot even begin to fathom what you were thinking. I mean, what if I had already been speaking with Maria? What do you think she would have done then?"

At first I didn't say anything figuring if I did she would simply cut me off, but the longer she was silent, the quicker I realized the love of my life was waiting for me to say something, though I couldn't be sure what she wanted to hear. I figured being honest would be the best way to go because placating her may set her off again if she found out I was only saying the words she wanted to hear. "I suppose I wasn't really thinking, but saying this doesn't mean I am admitting to be being wrong. I will, however, admit to the fact I should have told you I would be tagging along, but we both know if I had done that you would've found some way to go without me and I couldn't let that happen. Ali, she is going to play on your biggest asset to get what she wants; she is going to play with your heart and use your compassion against you. I denied her offer and so she moved on to you. Maria knows you would do almost anything to protect those you care about and she sees it as a weakness. I am begging you to prove her wrong by showing her it is not a weakness, but rather a strength. Can you do that for me?"

I knew I had her attention when her orange colored eyes softened. "How do you suggest I do that Jasper? If I don't do what she wants people will die; people I care about. I cannot, I will not, risk the lives of those I now consider family. They are the only family I have ever known Jazz."

"Then start acting like it." I told her as I took a step towards so I was close enough to cup her face with both of my hands. "You think you're doing the right thing and protecting all of us by giving yourself up to her, but the truth is you are taking the easy way out. You may not see it that way, but it's the truth. If you give in to Maria and her demands then you are leaving the hard part to the rest of us. I am begging you to listen to me and hear what I am saying. Please Alice, I need you to rethink what you're about to do because if you don't then I will be forced to do something extreme. So, what's it going to be darlin'?"

For a moment she didn't say anything and I thought maybe she was about to lecture me, but when she finally did speak, I had hope she was finally starting to see things my way. "If I am going to even think about changing my mind then you need to tell me what you have in mind."

I smiled and pressed my lips against her for a soft kiss which deepened almost instantly. I would continue to change her mind a bit later, but for right now, I was simply content with kissing her. Besides, if my words couldn't change her mind then perhaps my kissing skills could. Just to ensure my kissing skills impressed her, I ran my tongue along the roof of her mouth while at the same time I brought my hands away from her face, down her back, and finally to her ass where I lifted her up with one hand and let the other move up slightly so my fingers could caress her upper thigh. When she pulled back I moved my lips to the column of her throat and started to leave soft gentle kisses along her marble yet silky soft skin.

"Jasper?" I paused my kissing when I heard her speak my name so I could look in to her eyes and make sure I gave her my full attention.

"Yes darlin'?" I tilted my head a bit to the left so I could see her better, though I made sure to keep my gaze firmly locked with hers.

She smiled and her eyes twinkled alerting me to the fact she no longer had Maria on her mind, or if she did then her feelings about our creator had rapidly changed. "How about we leave this place and go somewhere so we can be alone. If you get what I'm saying then you should understand why I think it would be best for us to go somewhere quiet."
