Chapter 7… "Let's party"
Jasper POV
I plugged in the device and looked for Need for Speed Ultimatum among all my games. When I finally found it, I started playing. One and a half hour later, someone knocked the door. I paused the game and opened the door; it was Mr. Brandon.
-Jasper, you're not having classes tomorrow. The secretary just called, so you don't have to wake up early- he spoke.
-Thanks Mr. Brandon…
-You're welcome, keep playing- he answered and then disappeared.
I sat down in my bed and was about to continue playing, when my cell phone rang. It was Edward.
-JAAAAAASPER! Did you hear the good news?- Emmett shouted deafening me.
-Yeah, yeah, I know- I said putting my cell phone far away from my ear- What're you doing?
-Hey! What're you doing with my phone?- I heard Edward's voice.
-Relax, Eddie, I'm talking to Jared… I'm not telling your girlfriend obscenities- the muscleman said and I laughed.
-First, I want my phone back; second, don't call me "Eddie"; and third, turn the loudspeaker on- Edward ordered him. Emmett did what he was told and, in a second, I was talking to both guys.
-Hey, let's do something tonight; we don't have to wake up early tomorrow- the muscleman suggested.
-You're right… what's the plan?- I asked while I turned the play station off.
-what about dinner? We could buy some pizzas and beers- Edward spoke.
-Great idea! We could invite the girls, especially Alice- Emmett added suggestively.
-I can't believe it! Emmett, you used your mind!- Edward joked and, then, I heard a thud- hey, that hurt- he added.
-Oh Edward, be careful… don't fall from the bed- this time was Emmett who made a joke.
-If you push me, it's obvious I'm going to fall!- continued the model guy.
-Ok guys, stop it- I cut in- Where do we meet?
-In Emmett's house- Edward spoke.
-Yeah, no problem- Emmett accepted- at 9, it's ok?
-Great, I'll buy the pizzas and… I'll tell Alice- I answered.
-Sure, take the opportunity… see you later, bye Jazz- they said goodbye and I hung up the phone.
I had to let Alice know about our plan but… how could I look at her in the eyes after what had happened in the garden? No, I couldn't do it, I didn't dare. "Chicken" I reproached myself. I spent a long time wondering if I would be brave enough to go and face her, until I finally made a decision. I went to the garden and, as I had supposed, there she was. I went close to her in complete silence.
-A-a-alice…I-i…- I couldn't even talk to her, I was so nervous that I couldn't tell her a whole sentence- I-I c-came…
-Are you okay?- she cut me in worried. I didn't look at her, just nodded. I closed my eyes and sighed.
-Emmett invited us to his house tonight at nine- I spoke hastily- I wanted to let you know- I turned around to go, but she spoke again.
-Are you sure you are okay?
-Y-yeah… I'm perfect- "Fucking stuttering!" I damned and went to my bedroom again.
The night came faster than I thought. When it was about half past eight, I had a shower and got dress. I wore dark jeans, a light blue shirt, my favourite shoes, and a sweater in the same colour as the shirt. I combed, perfumed and went to the living.
Alice was so beautiful that she seemed to be unreal. She was wearing tight jeans, black boots, and a white shirt with a black belt in her tiny waist. Her make-up was almost invisible, what I liked best.
When she saw me, she stared at me but I looked away. "chicken" I repeated myself. Alice took her jacket, we said goodbye to her parent and left the place.
We were in complete silence during the way. I parked in front of a pizza restaurant and entered to buy some food. Alice stayed in the car. After ten minutes, I got the pizzas so we could continue to Emmett's house. When we arrived, I parked and we got outside the car. When I was about to ring the bell, Alice spoke:
-What's going on, Jasper? You're acting in a strange way…
-Nothing, I'm okay- I said without looking at her.
-Don't lie to me… how long will you be avoiding it?
-What are you talking about?- I asked her, pretending not to understand.
-about what happened today in the garden…
-That was nothing, don't worry- I rang the bell begging Emmett would open the door quickly.
-No, someth—Emmett opened the door and Alice shut up.
-FINALLY! I WAS WAITING FOR YOU!- the muscleman shouted putting his hands up, as he would hug me. However, unlike what I had thought, he took the six boxes of pizza and put them against his chest.- oh, guys, I'm glad to see you too- he added smiling.
-Yeah, I can notice it- I said rolling my eyes and entering the house. My friends were already there. Edward was playing the WII and Bella and Angela were watching the game. I said hello to all of them and joined my model friend.
We were playing an amazing baseball match when Emmett took the food and alcohol. It was obvious that he had been drinking, as he could almost be on his feet. He turned the music on, loudly, and started dancing in the middle of the room.
I was having a great time, until Emmett took Alice from her arm and mad her stand up. Then, he went close to her and started dancing with her.
I distracted as I observed each movement they made. Why could he dance with her and I couldn't be even close to her? That was unfair!
"Hot in Herre", by Nelly, started and Emmett went closer to Alice's body. I noticed that she was uncomfortable, but Emmett's strange made it difficult to move away. That was the last drop…
-Hey, Jazz! Pay attention, I'm winning- Edward made me come back to reality. "Right, the game".
-Yeah… I'll buy some beers!- I exclaimed and everybody looked at me.
-Don't worry, be happy- Emmett said; the alcohol was taking effect.
-ok, I'm going to buy them- I said firmly.
-Wait, I'll go with you! I need to buy something- Alice added; I nodded and we left the place.
We got inside the car and there was silence in the environment again. We arrived the shop and said to the seller our requests.
-What do you want Lays for?- I asked surprised.
-Emmett asked for it.
-oh, sure, as Emmett asked for it, you run to buy him his chips!- I spoke without thinking. "Fuck!"
-Yes, 'cause he's my favourite muscleman- she answered humourless.i didn't say anything. When we had our stuff on our hands, we came back to the car.
-Why're you acting like that?- she asked me once we were on the way.
-Are you serious? Why are YOU acting like that? Why are you confusing me so bad? First, you ordered me to stay away from you and, then, you're worried about me… why do you want me to stay away from you?
-I can't tell you- I murmured looking through the windows, but then she faced me again- why did you reacted so badly in the shop?
-Do I need to tell you?- I said while I parked and got outside the car quickly. Alice took my arm and, when she noticed what she had done, she moved her hand away.
-Yes, you do- she finally spoke.
-isn't it obvious? Or do you want me to put a sign on my forehead?- I asked ironically.
- I don't want any sign, I want you to face me- I ignored her and rang the bell. Edward opened the door instantaneously.
No sooner had I left the beers on the table, Emmett and Ed took one for each other. I joined them and, after I drank the whole bottle, a great Jack Daniels, and tasteful Bourbon, everything around me was spinning around. The girls were drinking too, but not as much as we did.
And, at that moment, You Can Leave Your Hat On started. I looked at the guys and we smiled. We put ourselves one next to the other, gazing at the girls who were sitting on the sofa.
"Baby take of your coat
Real slow
And take off your shoes
I´ll take your shoes
Baby take off your dress
Yes, yes"
Emmett was who started dancing. He stepped up and started unbuttoning his shirt slowly. It ended on Angela's face.
"You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on"
He shook following the rhythm while he let his belt out and put it around his neck. It was Edward's show time.
"Go over on there
Turn on the Light
No all the lights
Come back here
That´s ricght
Raise your arms up to the air
No shake´em"
He placed himself where Emmett had been dancing, and gazed at Bella, who was looking at him ashamed but excited. Seductively and slowly, he also started unbuttoning his shirt, which ended lying on the floor. He made Bella stand up and order her to dance with him. It seemed like they were having sex with their looks.
"You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason yo live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Sweet darling"
Edward kissed his girlfriend enthusiastically and she sat on the sofa again. It was my turn.
"Suspicious minds a talkin´
Try´n´to tear us apart
They don´t believe
In this love of mine
They don´t know i love you
They don´t know what love is
They don´t know what love is
I know what love is
Sweet darling"
I looked at Alice and started unbuttoning my shirt really slowly. I smiled when I noticed she didn't look away. Then, my belt was on the floor. I danced the best I could as my friends looked at me amazed.
"You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Feeling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on"
I took one bottle of water I found by my side and took the top off slowly. I drank a little bit and then, following the rhythm of the music, poured the remaining water all of my body. The girls, but Alice, started clapping, and the boys whistling. I smiled and tossed my hair back. Alice was motionless.
-Did you like it?- I asked her seductively.
-You're drunk- she answered rolling her eyes.
- It was for you- I insisted. She blushed but, at the second, recomposed. If I hadn't been drunk, I wouldn't have told her that.
-you're drunk- she repeated- what do we do now? Will I drive your car or you prefer to kill us?
-I would never let you die- I damned my big mouth- so, you're driving- I added.
I stood up and went to the kitchen to eat some cold pizza. We continued drinking, dancing and eating until 3 a.m.
Edward, Bella and Angela left, so Alice and I did the same. I went outside Emmett's house with my sweater hanging from my shoulder and the shirt unbuttoned. I gave Alice my keys.
-Tell me the truth… you looooved the dance, I noticed how you were looking at me- I spoke once I was sitting on my seat and gazing at her.
-Stop talking nonsense- she looked at me up and down- and button up that shirt!
-Are you nervous?- I inquired winking.
-Jerk- she murmured once we were at home.
- "You give me a reason to live, you give me a reason to live"- I entered the house singing.
-Shh- Alice silenced me covering my mouth with her hand. I still remember the electric current that went over my body with that simple touch. I really wanted to kiss her- be quiet- she ordered me.
I put my hand on my forehead, posing as a soldier, and she rolled her eyes. She took me to my bedroom and I laid on my bed.
-I love you, Alice- I murmured before I fell asleep deeply.
