You've Got Mail
Chapter 26
*ENGLAND*
"Okay, you were right." I admitted, "This is the best pizza in town."
Jasper smirked at me from across the table, "Not exactly breakfast food though, is it?"
I shrugged, "Food is food."
Jasper laughed and took another bite from his pizza. My phone was flashing, telling me I had an email that I hadn't read yet.
To: Alice Brandon
From: Alice Cullen
Received: 12:25 am
Subject: MORE news
I AM crazy Kitty... Crazy in love with this boy beside me...
I'll tell them later... Right NOW, I have to tell YOU something!
Jasper has an ex named Maria that he never told me about...
We were shopping at the mall for our third date and he gets a call saying that his alcoholic dad is in the hospital having his stomach pumped from poisoning so we go to the hospital and boom there's this tall exotic beauty purring his name and shit and I almost slapped a hoe right there... Then she has the nerve to hug him AFTER he calls me "my girl Alice" and omg Kitty I almost died when she said they were bed partners... Why didn't he tell me that?!
So I run out to the car and GET THIS his "excuse" for sleeping with her is that she's "persuasive" whatever the hell that means... So I'm like what I'm not good enough and yadayadayada... THEN, in response to my "why won't you at least try" was him yelling at me...
Kitten, he told me he loved me.
"Holy shit!" I said, staring at my phone.
"What's up?" Jasper asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I've gotta make a call." I told him, dialling Alice's number at lightning speed. It was late in Texas, and she might be asleep already, but I had to hope she wasn't. To my delight, she picked up on the third ring.
"Kitty?!" She said, sounding surprised and sleepy; I'd probably woken her up, after all.
"Pix what the hell?!" I asked, "He told you he loved you?"
"Uumm, yeah... it wasn't exactly one sided, though..." She trailed off.
"Pixie!" I cried, "Tell me everything."
"I was jealous and pissed and all those other jealous girlfriend emotions... knowing he slept with her wasn't helping things either... so I did the only thing I could to keep myself from killing her bare handed, I ran away..." I waited for her to go on, but she didn't.
"Okaaay..." I prompted, "And then what?"
"Well, he came out to the car and drove us to the park so we could talk things through..." She told me
"Pixie, will you hurry up and tell me the story already?" I asked, growing frustrated as she kept trailing off.
"He admitted to sleeping with her, using the excuse that she was very "persuasive" and I said well it's not for lack of trying, to which he rolled his eyes... Then I asked why not me and listed off a bunch of things that she had and I didn't and he said he wasn't making the same mistake again, which of course offended me... I mean, he thought sleeping with me would be a mistake?! So then he said that I took him to heaven and back by simply sleeping in his tee shirt... He said he couldn't imagine what it'd be like to actually make love to me, his exact words... Who says "making love" anymore, anyway?! So I was like why won't you at least try and he like really really yelled at me and slammed his hand down on the console and was like 'because I love you ok...' That's it... Happy now?!" She said, almost all in one breath.
I squealed; how cute could they get?! Jasper shot me an amused look from across the table but I dismissed him with a wave of my hand, "And you said it back, right? Tell me you said it back!"
"Of course I said it back, Kit," She squealed, "I just said it better than he did... if you get my meaning..."
"Pixie!" I said, "Tell me you didn't do anything stupid!"
"Kitty!" She cried, "No, we didn't do anything! Believe me, he's not too willing... all we did was kiss, babe, calm down!"
"Well, good." I said, "I mean, I know you're dead set on sleeping with him, but I really don't think it's a good idea."
"Kitty, nothing happened..." She told me, "And, honestly, I do wanna wait... kinda... sorta... mostly..."
"Pixie, look at the facts." I said, "You're barely legal, he's four years older than you, your overprotective older brother is dead set against the relationship, your parents have no idea how old he really is and when they find out they're going to flip! Do you really think sleeping with this guy is the best move for you right now?"
Jasper was watching me with interest as he took a bite of pizza. Heaven knows what this conversation sounded like to him!
"Kitty, I know this... ALL of it!" She sighed and paused before continuing, "I do wanna wait, and we ARE waiting so calm down!"
"On a separate note, he uses the words 'making love' to talk about sex?" I teased, unable to hide my laughter, "How is he not a virgin?"
"I know, right?! Guess that's just his gentlemanly nature..." She said, "He did say Maria's 'persuasive'..."
"Don't worry about this girl, Pixie." I said, sensing that I might not have been doing the most sensitive thing in bringing up Jasper's lack of virginity, "I mean, what's she got that you haven't?"
"Besides Jasper's first time, beauty, money, sexual flair, curves... Need I continue?!" Alice asked.
"But he broke up with her." I pointed out, "So he obviously doesn't want her."
"Only cause she was cheating on him," She countered with a sigh.
"Babe, look," I said, "He's dating you. He loves you! If he even glances at her it's going to be a look of regret at ever dating her in the first place."
"He'd probably tell me the same thing..." She agreed.
"Exactly!" I said, "So what are you worrying about?"
"I don't know, Kitty..." She said
"Besides, you're the most gorgeous girl I know." I told her, "Why would he even think about another girl?"
"I don't know, Kitty, but we have an eavesdropper..." Alice said.
I laughed, "You want to get back to lover boy?"
I heard muffled giggling at the end of the line, and then a male voice - who I could only assume was Jasper - spoke, "Whoever you are, my Alice is too busy for you... She'll talk to you later..."
The beeping tone cut off any reply I might have as he hung up on me. I rolled my eyes and muttered under my breath, "Well love you too, Pixie."
I put the phone down on the table and smiled at Jasper, who was watching me with amusement. "Who was that?"
"My friend Pixie." I told him.
"Pixie?" He asked, eyebrow raised.
"Her name is Alice." I said, "But I call her Pixie."
"This is your friend in America, right?" Jasper asked. I nodded. "How do you even know her, you've never been to Texas."
"We've been friends since forever." I said, "There was this website when we were kids. It matches you up with a penpal from somewhere around the world. We started talking on this website but we became really good friends and we've been talking ever since." I laughed, "We thought it was cool that we had the same name." Jasper raised an eyebrow and I shrugged, "We were six years old."
"So your close, hu?" Jasper asked. I nodded. Close was an understatement. Alice was like the sister I'd always wanted when I was little.
"We tell each other everything." I said.
"Everything?" Jasper asked.
"Everything." I confirmed.
"About us?" Jasper asked.
I rolled my eyes, "She's a hopeless romantic, it would be mean to hold back details from her."
"And what does she think of me?" Jasper asked. I considered the question.
"She thinks you're pretty badass." I teased, "And I don't think she appreciates it when you get me drunk." Jasper raised an eyebrow at this, but I just laughed, "But from the first day I told her about you, she was dead set on us ending up together. Like I said, she's a hopeless romantic. No matter how much I disagreed with her, she always said we'd end up together."
"Don't you ever get annoyed that you can't actually see her?" Jasper asked.
I shrugged, "Sure, I'd love to meet her for real one day, but it's enough just to talk to her online and on the phone. It's like a long distance relationship; being apart doesn't make it any less real. No matter what country she's in, she's my best friend."
