Chapter 18
*TEXAS*
"I hope y'all have all had a good weekend and are now ready to get started on your projects." I groaned in frustration; I'd accomplished nothing! What with Jasper always hugging and cuddling and kissing me... And Kitty begging for the latest info...
"Shit!" Blue eyes met mine as I sank lower in my seat. His hand grabbed my clenched fist and ran in smooth circles along its surface.
"Darlin', you ok?" Shrugging, I snatched the piece of paper from Professor Williams as he passed from desk to desk. "Don't worry 'bout it, darlin'. We're a team, remember?"
~000~
By the time lunch rolled around, Jasper and I had completed the first half of our ten page info sheet. We were making good time!
"What are you doing for lunch, babe?" I shrugged, knowing that Emmy would be suspicious if I didn't show up. He chuckled as if knowing my thoughts and tossed his arm casually over my shoulder.
"Gimme." He held his hand out for my bag, tossing it into my locker in passing. Giggling as he slammed the door shut, I threaded my arm through his and twined our fingers.
~000~
"Jazz, I don't understand, like, ANY OF THIS!" I huffed and stabbed a finger at the textbook in frustration. Seconds later, his arms were around me and his lips were on mine. "Don't worry about it, Alice." His voice was reassuringly soft as he kissed my forehead. "Now, come on. We're taking a break."
Taking his hand, I followed him out of his room and down the stairs into the den. "What are you doing, Jazz?" He chuckled quietly and unlaced my boots from around my ankles, sliding them to the floor. "I told you, darlin', you need a break."
His hands were smooth yet firm on my feet as he massaged them, washing away all the stress of the day. I leaned back into the couch with a sigh, resting my head against the back. Who knew having a boyfriend could be so beneficial?! "This is nice, Jazz."
He merely smiled and handed me my boots, laying his head in my lap as I relaced them. Stretching out across the couch, he wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pulled me towards him. Giggling at the hyperextension, I teased him, my teeth nibbling and biting at his pouting lower lip. "Don't pout, Jazzy. It makes trying not to kiss you that much harder."
He chuckled and deepened the pout, eyes playful, dancing in the dim light. "Why wouldn't you wanna kiss me, darlin'? Am I really that bad?" I giggled and repositioned, laying in his arms against his chest. I sighed, breathing him in. "Your kisses are perfect!"
~000~
"Your kitchen counter is gonna have my butt germs permanently rubbed off on it if we keep this up!" My voice was a murmur against him as he trailed kisses along my throat, tongue flicking along my skin every now and then. He pulled away and drew in a ragged breath, quietly chuckling. "And why exactly is that a bad thing?"
"Jasper Whitlock!" I froze in the search to his lips, caught like a deer in headlights, as he whirled around with a muttered curse. Was that Jasper's father?!
He stood in the doorway, eyes wide and jaw clenched. With hard, ice blue eyes that stared coldly at me and veins popping out, he was clearly a force NOT to be reckoned with. I slid off the counter and stood in his arms, drawing random patterns on his hands as they clenched possessively at my hips. "Jazz,
it's ok."
"Alice, this is my father, William Whitlock. Dad, this is my girlfriend Alice." After the proper introductions, he curled his arms tighter around me as William's gaze moved appreciatively over my body.
"Not as slutty as the last girl you had, I'll admit, but she is definitely a looker."
~000~
William smirked knowingly as Jasper growled and pressed himself further against me, his temper flaring. In a matter of seconds, my back was bent against the counter, Jasper moving possessively in front of me. "Alice, get out of here. Go home. I'll be over later." Then his lips were on mine, possessive and demanding and promising. "See you soon, darlin'."
~000~
Curses were flying from both of their mouths as they erupted into angry yelling. What the hell was wrong with them?! Peeping around the corner, I saw Jasper's fist fly out of nowhere. Then it snapped back as William grabbed his shirt and shoved him against the wall, throwing a punch into his gut before finding his face. That's enough!
"Jasper," I screamed, my voice full of anger and possession and anxiety. Ducking beneath William, I clutched desperately at him as he slid to the ground. "I told you to get out of here, babe." Shrugging, I took his hand and pressed it to my cheek, needing him to know I was here. I was here for him and I always would be!
~000~
He lay on my bed, hands clutching at his abdomen. "Damn, he hits hard!" I quietly gasped and grabbed the anti- septic from the cabinet in the hall. He wasn't one to cuss... Not around me, anyway...
"Are you ok?" He nodded mutely, wincing as I rubbed the staunchy cleansing alcohol across the cut above his eye. "I'm not worried about me, babe. I'm worried about you!"
Squeezing his hand, I ran my hand through his hair and sighed, nestling against him. "I am so sorry, Alice."
Shrugging, I twined our fingers and lay my head on his bare chest. "It's not nothing, Alice," he growled quietly, gripping my chin and forcing me to look at him. "He made a pass at you, which is not ok! YOU'RE MINE!"
His lips were on mine, the heat of his body pressed against mine setting a fire across my skin. If anything, his affect on me was worsening!
His fingers knotted into my hair, holding me close, as I ran my hands leisurely over his chest. Hooking my fingers around his belt loops, I pulled him closer and wrapped my legs around his torso. "See, Jasper?! I'm yours. ONLY YOURS!"
~000~
Jasper had fallen asleep awhile ago, giving me time to think and ogle and stuff. Bored, I grabbed my phone from the table and saw an email waiting from Kitten.

Ooooh you're going on your first date? Any idea where? That's so cute! That's great news about you and Rosalie! I hate to say it, but I told you so babe ;)

I realized then that I'd forgotten about Kitten for the day. Oops! Now's the time to make up for it!

~000~
"Jasper," I whisper yelled, poking him in the rib, as his hands searched the bed for me. Pulling me against his chest, he yawned and opened his eyes with a smile. "Mornin', darlin'."
"You need to get up, Jazz. You have to change clothes and OMFJ what's gonna happen if you get caught in here alone with me and OMFJ Jazz I missed you. Are you ok?"
I couldn't help but lose my tongue as I rambled on and on. He quirked a brow and sat up, pulling me against his chest with a chuckle. Then his lips were on mine and I was perched in his lap. "I like this method of getting me to shut up much better."
He chuckled and stood, his hands holding me against him. Running a hand through my hair, he sat me on the bed and walked to my window, giving me a nice view of his backside. Whistling, I winked as he turned to me with a raised brow and a chuckle. "What would the neighbours think?!"

He sounds like a total douche...hurting his own son like that? You should stay away from him, Pix. Maybe don't go round Jasper's house when he's there...and for that matter, Jasper shouldn't have to put up with something like that either! At least you're both okay...
If you're tired, then go to sleep! It's the middle of the night over there, after all!
I'm good! Late into school, as usual, but now I'm with Jasper so it's all good :) I think Bella's pissed about the fact that I'm dating Jasper...but oh well, there's no going back now ;);)
Love you too, babe! Yep ttyl...
Giggling, I typed a reply whilst walking to my wardrobe, possible outfits whirling around in my head.

Yea I know... my poor Jasper! Who knows what he goes through over there?! did I tell u he ended up sleeping over last night? Well now he's awake and back at his house to change clothes and stuff... "What would the neighbours think?" His exact words before he left...
Ooohhhh! Somebody's gonna get it!;);) hahaha yeah I know the feeling... Rosa wasn't too happy about me and Jasper either... they'll all just have to deal, huh?!
Yep... byyyeee!:):)
Smiling, I pulled on my high-waisted shorts and slipped my I Heart Men With Accents shirt over my head as a knock sounded at my door. "I didn't like that note you left me, Pix, and it'd better not happen again!"
I rolled my eyes and shut my door in Emmy's face, content to hear him huff and growl before lumbering back into his room. Giggling, I froze as a pair of arms wrapped around me from behind and pulled me into a wall of muscled chest. Turning in his arms, I took his lower lip between my teeth and nibbled on it, loving the way he growled sexily. "Emmy's mad at me again. Guess I'll have to be a good girl and actually say goodbye before leaving with you."
