Chapter 37:
APOV (wow 0_0)
"Okay, so what do you need?" I asked. We just got to the mall and had just parked the car. We had joked for Rose to sit in one of those kiddy cars so we could push her around the shops, but she wasn't having it. After a harsh glare from her Bella and I just giggled and dropped the subject. We loved teasing Rose but only because we know she can take it.. and dish it back twice as hard.
"Well, I'm still not entirely sure why we're going now, as the Oscars are not until next year, but alright.," Bella mumbled. She had taken over my brothers' style and constantly hid behind sunglasses and all sorts of hats now. When I was younger I always was jealous of Edwards fame, but I've grown out of that phase now I've seen what it does to you first hand. I'm glad the press isn't interested in me.
"Bella, you are new to this 'fashion-lifestyle', you don't know how long it takes to find the perfect dress. Especially for a one in a lifetime experience!" I gushed. Okay, maybe I'm still a little jealous.. only because the Oscars is an amazing event. "We'll take all day!"
In the end, Rose and I had bought more stuff than Bella, who we were originally here for, but okay. Even though she is making a lot of money now, she is still hesitant to spend too much.. which is good I suppose, but not when you're out with your friends, shopping! Throw that money out, hon! Rose had plans with Emmett for dinner so we had to get back at around four o'clock.
"Rose, you ready?"
I grabbed all of our shopping bags while Bella helped Rose into her car. "Yes, me and little one are all strapped in." She said, clicking her seatbelt in. Bella started the car as I closed the back and got into the passenger seat.
"Alright! Who am I dropping of first?" Bella said.
"Well, I'm closer I think.. right?" I said, eyeing Rose through the rearview mirror. She nodded. "Yes, me."
"Okidoki!"
"Bye guys! You take care of that little angel alright?" I said as I kissed Rose on her cheek. I grabbed my bags from the car and waved them goodbye as they slowly drove out of my neighborhood. Looking for my keys I saw Jaspers car in the garage so he must've come home just before me; he said he had some work to do at Cullen-Whitlock Pro.
Jasper worked as an extra help for his father. Jared Whitlock, as handsome as his father, was getting ready to start an early retirement and wanted Jasper to know everything he knew to take over the busy movie industry business.
Opening the front door I heard something I have never heard before in my house. A dog barking. A middle-sized brown dog with black covering both its ears and around its nose came running towards me. "Hey Angel, where did you come from?"
I crouched down, putting my bags next to me and let the dog slowly walk over to me. I petted its head and noticed a makeshift sign hanging on its back. I switched it to the front of her and fell down on my butt as I gasped once I read the message it had.
'Alice, will you marry us?'
"Jasper Gabriel Jonathan Whitlock!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Jasper poked his handsome face around the corner of the hallway with that stupid sexy side smirk stuck on his lips.
"Yes, dear?" He asked with a slightly higher voice than normal. "Have you met Evie yet?"
I blinked at him then at the dog- Evie apparently. "Y-yeah, we've.. we got acquainted just now.." I mumbled. "Is - is she staying? Can we keep her?" He nodded as my hand reached out to her and she sniffed it. A few licks later she was almost in my lap, licking my entire face. "Ja - Jasper! I love her! I've always wanted a dog! Wha- Where did you get her?"
Jasper seemed a bit unsure.. awkward almost. "Well, I got her from the adoption center downtown. Di- did you read the.. sign.. at all?" He swallowed nervously.
I gasped. "Oh my god! The dog made me braindead!" Remembering reading the message around her neck, I jumped up, almost kicking Evie and jumped into his arms. "Yes! Yes! Yes, Jasper yes!" He held me up from the ground and Evie started jumping and barking at our strange behavior. I grabbed his scruffy cheeks and kissed him silly. "Yes, I will.." I whispered.
"I love you, Alice," He said.
I wiped my eyes on his shirt and giggled into his neck. "Sorry for not reacting sooner. You really shouldn't make a girl choose if one of the options is a dog.."
JPOV (Another WOW 0_0)
Let me tell you, my hands were really sweaty once Alice had come home and found the dog. I didn't hear anything; no squeals, no screams, nothing..-
"Jasper Gabriel Jonathan Whitlock!" Oh, there it is..
"Yes, dear?" I asked, sticking my head through the doorway into the hallway where I found Alice, on the floor, petting Evie. At least they liked each other. "Have you met Evie yet?"
She looked up at me, back to the dog and to me again. "Y-yeah, we've.. we got acquainted just now.." I slowly nodded as she mumbled. It seemed as if she was thinking everything over in her pretty little head. "Is - is she staying? Can we keep her?" I nodded again while Alice made friends with Evie and the dog started licking her entire face, standing on her legs, making her as tall as Alice herself. "Ja - Jasper! I love her! I've always wanted a dog! Wha- Where did you get her?"
I scratched my head and cleared my throat awkwardly. 'This isn't working.. she hasn't even seen the sign yet! This is a total flop! I knew I shouldn't have trusted Emmett with this!'
"Well, I got her from the adoption center downtown. Di- did you read the.. sign.. at all?" I swallowed nervously.
She gasped and jumped up, hanging like a koala from my neck. "Oh my god! The dog made me braindead!" I chuckled in her neck. "Yes! Yes! Yes, Jasper yes!" She kissed me and looked into my eyes. "Yes, I will.." She whispered.
"I love you, Alice," I said.
Sorry for the delay.. School huh? Hope you injoyed!!
