Chapter 5
-----------------------------------------------
Edward came down stairs at nine o'clock. He had spent the night at Bella's, as usual, but Esme had asked him to join the family for 'reunion breakfast'. He was rather disturbed to walk into the living room, only to see Alex and Jasper passed out on the couch. The large family TV stuck on Cartoon Network's Scooby Doo. Alex's feet where haphazardly placed in Jasper's lap and he had apparently been giving her a foot rub before they fell asleep. Edward instantly wondered if he was dreaming. Jasper... touching a human...that was still alive....WHAT? Pinching himself hard enough to break a human arm, he was unhappy to realize he was in fact awake.
Sighing he walked over and sat opposite them, grabbing the TV remote off the coffee table and clicking the TV off. Settling himself into the chair comfortably and enjoying the silence, his curiosity got the best of him and he decided to try and pry into Alex's dreams. He didn't usually pick up on dreams unless he tried, because they were activated by the subconscious mind and not at the forefront of someone's consciousness. He focused his gaze on Alex's upturned face and started pushing at her mind, trying to find the way in. He had been disturbed that her thoughts hadn't given him any insight the night before, and while Bella's silent mind had given him practice in patience, he was unwilling to go the distance for any other human being. Pushing aggressively at her mind he started to grit his teeth, until finally he was rewarded with sounds exploding in his head.
'I wonder if these shoes go with these hairpins. I should make an outfit for Alex and ship it to her. ....I wish my parents were more functional. Functional! I should make functional fashion. But what function would it have. I miss Alex; she'd know what to do. At least she's not in summer school....or in jail.' The thoughts were confusing but he could hear something underneath the noise. Her thoughts were like a very complicated piece of music, the thoughts he could hear were the melody, but he could sense the presence of the harmony and background beat. He began to swim deeper into her head.
His gaze was intense but he was so taken up with trying to decode the foreign thoughts entering his brain that he didn't notice Alex's eyes slowly open. She fixed him with a glare and by reflex alone he was able to tear himself away from his preoccupation to meet her gaze.
"Pushy aren't you" Her glare intensified and he felt her mind start closing him out until all he could hear was the loud dysfunctional thoughts that had been bothering him all night. They continued their glaring contest until they were distracted by a groggy Jasper looking plaintively at Alex.
"Aleeex...You stopped the feel good juice" Jasper whined, thoroughly confusing both Edward and Alex whose gazes snapped to him. He pouted and Edward felt like his world had hit twilight zone. Jasper had always been the member of the family who hated sleep the most. While not necessary for survival, the rest of the clan enjoyed partaking in voluntary rest almost as often as humans. Jasper's permanent purple circles under his eyes were testament to his unchanging hatred of the practice. But as Edward could plainly see, Jasper had in fact been sleeping, had enjoyed it, and something to do with Alex had woken him up. Alex for her part looked at him and then jerked her thumb at Edward.
"Blame him. He decided that infiltrating my brain first thing in the morning was a good idea."
Jasper sent a disgruntled look at Edward and stretched. Gently shifting Alex's feet off his lap he snatched the remote and turned the TV back on.
"Edward. You are such a buzzkill" and with that Jasper and Alex's attention was consumed by the TV. Edward, mystified, just sat and watched them as they watched the TV, cheering on the Scoobies in their latest disaster. Ten minutes in, the show cut for commercial and the two unlikely friends sat back and relaxed. Jasper decided to address Edward again.
"So spent the night at Bella's?"
Edward shook himself a little and snapping back into this Twilight Zone reality, he nodded mutely. Alex gave him a sly look. Before he could question her motives for such a face she started taunting him.
"Pre-marital sex ey? You naughty dog you." Edward instantly tensed and glared at Alex, hard enough that most people would be sniveling apologies, but apparently not hard enough for Alex to care.
"Its. NOT. LIKE. THAT." He ground out through clenched teeth. Jasper was surprised at how fast Edward's emotions had gone from confusion to flat out angry.
"No, I know" Alex said, a half grin on her face. Edwards's emotions ducked into angry confusion. 'He has such range!' Jasper noted quietly to himself. He was surprised that Edward didn't turn to respond to his thought but Alex had started talking again. "It's not pre-marital if you're not going to marry her" Jasper's mouth formed a large 'O' but he was distracted by Rosalie's peal of laughter from the doorway to the kitchen. Edward looked like steam was going to come out his ears but he was too flabbergasted to retort, Alex just kept talking.
"And in this day and age, very few people wait that long anyway." She grinned and shoved Jasper a little with her foot "Breakfast?" Jasper nodded wordlessly, so they got up and joined Rosalie in the kitchen. Rosalie was leaning against the counter trying to catch her breath.
"Y'know what? I like you" was all she said before walking out of the kitchen to wake Emmett up.
