Chapter 12
Alice slipped through the back door, and into Jasper's house.
In spite of her telling him several times that he needed to keep it locked and she'd knock, he always left it open.
And she sort of got it as Jasper's parents, Benito and Maria, weren't bad people – she'd met them a few times – but they'd definitely throw a fit of epic proportions if they ever found out about her staying over.
But that was why she only came over on nights they were gone.
"I've got Blade, Jurassic Park, Dumb and Dumber... and Lion King for the wusses among us," Jasper said as he came out of the kitchen and spotted her.
"Which of us cried when Mufasa died the last time we watched that?" Alice arched an eyebrow.
"Yeah, well –" He scowled, before continuing with a muttered "– no one said I wasn't a wuss."
She laughed. "What are we eating?"
"I've got popcorn, chips, and soda. I also have enough cash to buy a pizza."
Alice was pretty sure the last time she'd had pizza was a couple of weeks ago at Bella's, she swallowed slightly. "Popcorn sounds good."
Jasper narrowed his eyes. "You look like you're all skin and bones. I'm ordering a pizza."
She looked away from him. "Fine, I vote we watch Dumb and Dumber. A little senseless comedy never hurt anyone."
"Okay, Dumb and Dumber it is."
