"That was such a sweet memory! Alice, my beautiful wife cooed. I could feel the love coming off everyone. This was an environment I enjoyed.
"I have a memory," I murmured quietly.
Alice smiled, climbing into my lap. I wrapped my arms around her as she nestled in.
I closed my eyes and let my mind drift back to that blackest of times.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
'Welcome to Philadelphia' the sign proclaimed. I sighed quietly, glad to be far away from Texas, Maria, and all the carnage.
It was raining again and while the rain did not bother me I knew I could not continue to stand her, staring at nothing at all. People would get suspicious as to why the freezing cold rain wasn't bothering me.
I spotted the faded sign for Marty's All Night Diner and began walking towards it. It looked half empty and I prayed that I could control the thirst that had turned my once blood red eyes black.
I walked into the diner holding my breath. The tantalizing smell of human blood still hit me hard, causing my throat to burn and the animalistic side of me to growl. Then I smelled her and I froze. There was another vampire here.
I stared at the little pixie sitting high on the bar stool. She turned to look at me with strange golden honey eyes as she gracefully jumped down. As she walked towards me I felt scared. Was she going to kill me? Did she wish me harm? All my years with Maria had taught me to fear others.
I tested the mood around her using my unique gift and I felt things I had never felt before. Things I could only guess the names of. I felt reassurance and wanting. I felt hope and love. I felt happiness. The purity of her emotions startled me.
"You've kept me waiting," she said.
I ducked my head like a good southern gentleman and said, "I'm sorry ma'am."
"I'm Alice. You're Jasper," she said, shocking me once again. She wasn't asking me if I was Jasper, she knew I was. There was no doubt in her voice.
"How do you know my name?" I asked her. She laughed and I instantly fell in love with the sound.
"Oh I know a lot about you Jasper. It's my gift. Much like you can feel and manipulate peoples emotions, I can see the future. I saw us you know. Together. Happy. In love."
I was confused again. She had seen us in love and happy? Was that even possible?
Even as I asked myself the question I knew the answer. Yes, yes it was. I was in love with this little pixie though I knew nothing about her. I felt this instant desire…no need…to protect her. She was so small, and though I knew nothing could hurt her, I still wanted to protect her from all the other evils of the world. The evils of Maria and her sisters.
I reached out to her and she danced into my waiting arms. I wrapped my arms around her. The feeling touching her ignited in my heart was amazing. Though my cold dead heart hadn't beat in many years I could almost feel it fluttering as her small frame melded into me.
I kissed the top of her head, squeezing her lightly. The love pouring off of her warmed me. She took my hand and pulled me out of the diner and towards what appeared to be an abandoned hotel. As we entered the decrepit building I was astonished by the inner beauty of it.
"I take it you have a hand for interior design?" I said jokingly.
"Well I wasn't going to live in the doom and gloom while I waited for you," she huffed.
I laughed and asked her, "Exactly how long have you been waiting for me?"
She smiled and danced over to a couch situated near the grand stair case. "Oh just a few months. But the wait was defiantly worth it."
"I'm very sorry I kept you waiting so long Alice," I told her, walking over to sit next to her.
Alice leaned towards me, her intentions clear. Her lips met mine gently, the chemistry between us strong enough to blow the old hotel up. Our kiss became more fervent, more passionate. I soon found my hand knotted in her short black hair, my other hand holding her closer and closer. But it was never close enough.
We peeled off our clothes off, getting even closer. It still wasn't close enough. I need her in the most primal of ways. I NEEDED to be in her. It wasn't a want. It was a serious need.
"I love you," she whispered as I found my way into her.
"I love you too," I whispered back, slightly shocked by the truth in my words.
We are going to be together forever," she told me and I knew she was right. I could feel it in every bone in my body.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Forever and a day," Alice said, kissing me softly.
"Forever and a day," I agreed.
A/N: So what do y'all think? I was never satisfied with how Jasper said it in the book. Does anyone have an specific memories they want? Just let me know. The more ideas, the longer the story. ; ) I love you all for sticking with me through thick and thin. Review! *hugs*
