-Alice-
It has been 3 weeks since my accident and I was still on bed rest. Edward and Bella have taken turns taking car of me and I felt helpless and needy. I've never been a needy person and I was already over it! I couldn't even walk to the restroom without being supervised. My body still hurt a little but I was much better already! I have a doctor's appointment in a week to see if I can get off bed rest.
Edward was home with me today and he was in the process of making me lunch. I hated depending on him for everything…especially food. Nothing against my brother but he wasn't the best cook. Unlike Bella who could probably work at a restaurant because her cooking was incredible. Edwards cooking is edible so I take the good with the bad. Edward brought in my plate of food and placed it on the bed beside me. He made an almost burnt grilled cheese, my pain medicine, and a glass of milk. He looked nervous sitting on the edge of my bed and his left leg was slightly bouncing up and down.
"What is it Edward? You look like you're about to combust." He was staring at the floor and not at me which made me a little nervous. He never had trouble telling me anything.
"Well I have to work tomorrow and so does Bella. I don't want to leave you here by yourself so I was wondering if you mind if Jasper comes to keep an eye on you tomorrow."
My heart stopped beating and then picked up double time. "I…I umm…well I'm sure he doesn't want to be stuck here at day." My mind was screaming PLEASE but the other part that knew he was still Bella's boyfriend and didn't want him here with me alone. My pain medicine seems to make me out of it sometimes and I didn't want to go crazy with him here.
"I've already spoke with him Ali and he doesn't mind. I just wanted to run it by you first. If it's a problem then I'll try to see if I can get an on call nurse to come to the house for the day."
DAMN HIM! He knew I'd pick anyone over an at home nurse. "It's fine as long as he doesn't mope around the apartment." Edward rolled his eyes as he climbed off the bed and into the living room, no doubt calling Jasper to give him the green light.
I immediately thought about the awkwardness of being in a house with a man that I possible loved and he had no idea. A man that was dating my best friend and the boyfriend to the girl that my brother was in love with. Could life get anymore complicated?
Edward came into the room with me a few minutes later and said that Jasper agreed and he would be here at 9am until 4pm when he got off work. I would be left alone for about thirty minutes but he seemed okay with that. He told me to tell him if I need anything and headed into the living room to watch some TV. I turned on my TV, flipping through the stations till I found criminal minds. I settled into bed and got comfortable. Before I knew it my pain medicine kicked in and I passed out.
I woke up the next morning to the front door opening and closing. My heart stopped again and then started tapping against my rib cage. HE was here. Jasper was here in my house and no one else was here.
-Jasper-
When Edward called me yesterday and asked if I could sit with Alice today I couldn't say no. Edward has been my friend forever and I couldn't leave his sister at home by herself when she was bedridden. I unlocked the front door and closed it behind me, finding a sticky note on the door. The note read:
Thank you again Jasper. Please take care of her and make sure she stays in bed. She will need her pain medicine around 10 am. When she first wakes up she will be a little out of it. She can get cranky from being in bed so be warned. Thanks again man! ~Edward
I laughed to myself thinking about little Alice being cranky. She's always been the calm one, the overly excited little Ali I've been around so much but never really gotten to know that well. I walked into the kitchen and scanned the cabinets to see what Edward had that I could make us for breakfast when I heard her wiggling in the bed. When I went into the room she was sitting on the edge of the bed in a silk nightgown and I stopped in my tracks.
"Oh I'm sorry. I just heard you were awake and came to see if you need anything."
"Well I have to use the restroom. If you hand me the walker right there" she pointed to the left of me. I grabbed it and walked to stand in front of her. She reached for the walker and slowly stood up. I put my hand on the center of her back to help sturdy her. "You don't have to walk me to the bathroom Jasper. Just make sure I don't fall on my way there and back" she giggled.
She quickly used the bathroom and turned the faucet on, I suppose to wash her hands and brush her teeth. She opened the bathroom door a few minutes later and started to walk back into her room. Her walker got caught on the carpet and her tiny body launched forward, falling over her walker. I was at her side in a flash of lightning as she fell on me, pushing us both backwards. Her chest was pressed against mine and I felt sparks fly through my body. I quickly shook my head avoiding the sparks and helped her back up to her feet.
She stood up and tilted her head up to look at me. I looked into her eyes and suddenly her lips were on mine. I quickly pulled away when I felt the goose bumps fill every inch of my skin, my arm hairs standing at attention. My thoughts immediately flew to Bella and I couldn't help but pull away from Alice. I handed her the walker again and without a word I moved to stand by the door to make sure she got to her bed before heading back into the kitchen in search of food.
I couldn't believe what just happened. Edward said she was a little loopy after walking up but she seemed perfectly fine to me. I was so confused about the emotions I felt when her lips were on mine. I had never felt that way when anyone kissed me, not even Bella, and I couldn't explain it. I quickly made some egg sandwiches and brought Alice hers with a glass of orange juice and her medication. I went to walk out of her room again when I heard her little voice.
"Please eat in here with me. I hate eating alone." Her voice sounded scared and worried. I held up one finger letting her know to give me a minute and went to grab my plate. I brought it back into her room and sat in the chair that was placed in the corner of her room. "I'm sorry about…that" she said pointing to the spot we stood as she kissed me. "I'm not sure what was going through my head and I know you're with Bella. It was very inappropriate. I am truly sorry." Her tiny voice was a whisper and I barely understood her.
"Its ok…I…umm…its fine really. May I ask you though, what brought on the kiss?" I know she just said that she didn't know what was going through her head but there head to be something she wasn't telling me.
"I just…I don't know…my medicine makes me loopy and you saving me…it just happened. I am sorry Jasper." I wasn't sure if that was it but I let it go. Seriously wondering if she felt the sparks that I felt when her lips touched mine. I thought back to Bella and wondered if this was something that I needed to tell Bella. Would this ruin their relationship? Would it ruin what me and Bella have? Does Alice have feelings for me? If me and Bella ever split up would I give Alice a chance if she did? So many questions were running through my head the rest of the day. I waited in the apartment until Edward got home and then excused myself to go think at my house.
*Hope ya'll liked it. Alice slipped up a little. Will Jasper leave Bella for Alice? Will Alice make another move on Jasper while him and Bella are together?*
