Well why in God's name DID you get between them?!
Haha sneaking out Pixie ;) And you say I'M the bad one ;);)
I think it's probably best not to ask when it comes to Jasper...I bought lots of stuff...and blew my entire pay cheque...you know what I'm like :/
Okay babe, have fun with Jasper ;) Love you too!
After Emmett's inital shock, a slew of curses passed his lips. But before he could do anything, he looked at the clock and decided he had to go back to school. We were safe... For now!

Uuummm, I had to make sure Jasper wasn't SLAUGHTERED obviously...!
OOOHHH YYYEEEAAAHHH cuz my Jazzy's SUCH A BAD INFLUENCE!;);)
WHY?! WHAT R U NOT TELLING ME YOUNG LADY?! HA. HA. HA! says the girl on the other side of the world from Texas who doesn't have a job...;);) PICS?!
DON'T put a winky face like sumthin's gonna happen... BELIEVE ME babe he doesn't want any of it... Been there done that tried and failed not happening again...!
Emmett knows! I stayed home from school today naturally and he came home for lunch and found me and Jasper... So we had to tell him... He blew a gasket but had to go back to school before anything major huge happened...
But anyway LLLOOOVVVEEE you WWWAAAYYY MMMOOORRREEE Kitten...! Ttyl?!
"Honey, I'm home!" Mom! A minute later, she walked through the front hall towards me, a small smile on her face. "The house didn't burn down!"
Giggling, I eyed Jasper as he stood and held out his hand for her. "Mrs. Cullen, glad to see you back. Where's Dr. Cullen?"
"I am right here, Jasper." Daddy! Wrapping my arms around Mom, I was quickly surrounded as Daddy joined our group hug with a chuckle. "Now, what's this I hear about my little girl having a concussion?!"
~000~
"Isn't she just the cutest little thing you've ever seen?!" Rolling my eyes, I scoffed and stood up, walking to the kitchen on unsteady feet. "Mom seems to have warmed up to him, don't you think?"
"It's a good thing, too! We have some news." Daddy's brows rose into the ceiling as he smirked and pulled me into his side. "You do, do you?!"
Nodding, I pranced back into the den and plopped onto his lap with a smirk. "We have to tell them."
"You mean ASK them, darlin'." I giggled and twined our fingers, nodding against him. "YOU have to ask them, Jazzy... Good luck!"
"Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, I'd like permission to court your daughter."
~000~
"What the gentleman you are!" Smiling, I squealed and threw my arms around my parents; that was as good as a yes in my book!
"I've already given you my best, ya know, so go have fun, kids. Jasper, have my little girl back in time for supper. Join us, won't you."
Nodding, he stood with a chuckle and shook Daddy's hand, his arm tight around me. "Thank you so much, Mr. Cullen. Your daughter means so much to me and I intend to treat her like the lady she is."
"Please, call me Carlisle. I'm sure my wife would like you to call her Esme." Mom nodded with a smile and gave him a hug. "I must say, Jasper, that my daughter has fine eye."
Oh. My. God! "Uumm, we're leaving now." Hooking my fingers around his belt loops, I tugged him out the door behind me. Pulling him into my arms via the same Wrangler belt loops, I pressed my lips teasingly to his. "Excuse my mother... I mean, as hot as you may be..."

Well as long as you're okay babe...wouldn't want my Pixie getting hurt!
I'm telling you EVERYTHING! I've told you what he's like...
HEY! I have a job! Where else would I get money to go shopping from?
Well it's about time he found out Pixie! He was going to find out eventually! Now you just have to tell your parents... ;)
Jasper and I'd been shopping for the past hour and a half, accumulating quite a few shopping bags and things that he'd insisted on paying for, gentle man of mine that he is.

I meant ME, Kitten... of course, having the world's greatest most gentlemanly boyfriend has its perks if u get my meaning...!:):)
Uuummm about THAT...
Giggling as he nuzzled into my neck and dropped the bags at my feet, I twined my fingers into his hair and lightly tugged, teasing my tongue along his bottom lip. "I love your idea of a third date, Jazzy!"

He'd better not let you get hurt or he'd have ME to deal with!
I'm not worried; Jazz can handle himself. I'm curious, but not worried. I knew full well what I was getting myself into when I agreed to go out with him! Oh, he's back now, he just won't tell me where he's been...'taking care of business' or whatever...
Well then GET a job
Pixie...WHAT about that?
"Kitty says that you'd better be taking care of me or you'd have her to deal with...! Not that she can do much, of course, way over there in England..."

He smirked and pulled me into him, teeth nipping and nibbling at my lip. "She thinks I'd let you get hurt?!"
"I defended you, of course!" Nuzzling against me, he chuckled huskily before catching my lips. "Good!"

Well, GOOD!
Yes REALLY!
You can't let him pay for EVERYTHING Pix!
And they didn't mind?! They're fine with the fact that your dating a guy four years older than you? And your crazy protective brother isn't even making a fuss? When did THIS happen?
Babe, I'm with Jazz so can I ttyl? Love you Pixieee!
"She just said that I can't let you pay for everything, Jazzy... I can't help that you're such a gentleman!"

Ha. Ha. Ha. Kitty!
Yeah but what if he, being the gentleman that he is, insists on it?! Where's the crime in simply letting my boyfriend spoil me on our third date?
WWWEEELLL... They don't exactly know he's four years older than me... And as for Emmy, he's been at Rosie's all day so who can argue?!
Anyway, I'm with MY Jasper too, ha ha, so ima let you go and talk to you later?! LLLOOOVVVEEE you MMMOOORRREEE!:):)
"Hey, darlin', I, um, forgot your one-week anniversary gift..." he trailed off, scratching the back of his neck almost nervously. Rolling my eyes, I giggled and wrapped my arms around him, kissing him. "Jazzy, we've been together a lot longer than a week."
~000~
"Dammit! Jasper, I cannot do this!" Throwing the chopsticks across the table with a growl, I crossed my arms over my chest and scowled as he chuckled.
Shooting him the stink eye, I watched as he reached across me to snatch the chopsticks before shoving them into my hands and hovering over my shoulder with a smirk. "Babe, I'm teaching you how to use chopsticks come hell or high water."
Rolling my eyes, I huffed and turned my nose up at the Chinese form of the American fork. Why do you have to use STICKS?!
Leaning around me, he twined our fingers and grabbed the chop sticks, my own hands not having a choice in the matter.
A whole half hour later and I'd say I was quite the pro at chop sticks! With the help of my Jasper of course... Grabbing my bags, he twined our fingers and lifted my hand to his mouth, lips light as a feather as they brushed across my knuckles. "Like you."
"Like you more, Jazzy." About to kiss him, I groaned and pulled away as my free hand searched frantically for my phone. He chuckled and tipped my chin, holding his own phone up in front of me. "It's mine."
Taking a few steps back as he held the phone to his ear, I blew out a slow breath and sank into a chair. I was TIRED!
"Shit! Shit, shit, shit." He ran a rough hand through his hair and sank down beside me with a heavy sigh. Taking his hand, I drew random patterns on his palm as he dropped his head into his hand. "What happened?"
"I'm sorry, Alice, I have to go. I'll drop you by your house then I have to go to the hospital." Wait, WHAT?!
Gripping his chin, I forced his eyes to meet mine as I opened my mouth to question him. "My dad's an alcoholic, ok?! He's in the hospital puking up his guts from alcohol poisoning." His voice was almost a yell as he jerked away from me with a growl and stood hurriedly.
He'd never raised his voice at me before and, quite frankly, it worried me, even just a little bit. Huffing, I crossed my arms over my chest and stood with him. What was his deal?!Closing my eyes against the tears, I took a step forward and face-planted into his chest with a light groan as his arms wound around my waist. Cupping my cheek, he held my face towards his with a groan. "Alice, I'm sorry, ok. I'm just frustrated and stressed out quite a bit right now. Forgive me?" Nodding, I immediately found my lips rough against his as he clutched me tighter to him. "Like you."
"Take me with you." His eyes snapped to mine as I ran a hand over his chest soothingly. "Please. I wanna go, Jazzy."
~000~
Twining our fingers, I flashed a smirk over my shoulder at Sasha as we breezed towards the ER. Giggling, I winked and pulled him closer as her bubblegum popped in her face. Serves her right!
"Carlisle?!" Turning to him, I saw Daddy coming towards us, a mute line on his face. Raising a brow at Jazzy and I, he pulled me against him with a small smile and kissed my forehead. "I'm not quite finished here, sweetheart. I have an alcoholic with poisoning that needs taken care of. See you at home for supper."
"Um, Daddy, that's Jasper's father... We're gonna go see him real quick, ok? See you later, love you." Pressing a kiss to his cheek, I was walking with Jasper in the next minute. I know the guy's a jerk and all but he was still my boyfriend's dad.
Quickly kissing him before he went in to see his dad, I twined my fingers into his honey golden curls and sighed. "I'll just wait out here... See you in a minute."
"Jasper?!" Whirling around, I faced the tall, exotic beauty as she smiled and waltzed towards him dramatically. He tucked me under his chin and studied her, eyes roving her figure. In a fit of jealous possessiveness, I grabbed his belt loops and jerked him into my arms with a smirk. Crashing my lips to his, I sighed in his arms as I felt his need rise and my doubt deflate. He was mine, I was his, and we were happy.
Pulling away with a deep pant, he leant his forehead on mine with a smirk. Flashing a smile, I wound my arms around his torso and tucked my hands into his back pockets. Fitting my head into the curve of his neck, I sighed against him. Mine, mine, mine. "Maria?!"
