Chapter Seven - New Orleans

As we pulled out of Gatlinburg, I smiled to myself. I was hoping that the bear I had fed from, would hold me over for a couple of days. Emmett had been right, they were all over the place here, and weren't difficult to come across.

We headed out into the night, we had to travel back to Interstate 40 the way we came, which really didn't seem like that big of a problem. It was so beautiful. This was one of the major benefits of our eyesight, we could still see the beauty of land even though it was pitch black to the human eyes. Not to mention the stars, they were like they had been in Forks, endless. I held Jasper's hand in my excitement, his eyes were liquid gold from his over indulgence, but he looked gorgeous.

I snuggled my head into his shoulder and watched as we coasted through the towns and cities. I kept an eye out for speed traps and the police on patrol, it was uneventfully empty. The radio stations played some interesting songs, not my usual taste, but they seemed to fit. The closer we got to Biloxi the more New Orleans stations we picked up. I started to get excited. Biloxi would have nothing for us at this time of night so I came up with a great plan. Jasper looked down at me as soon as my excitement hit him.

"What's up with you?" he smiled merrily.

"I have an idea." I grinned, I could feel my body trembling with excitement, I was hoping he would agree.

"Go on."

"Well, I was thinking, there's really nothing in Biloxi, that would capture our interest at night is there?"

"Casino's."

"True, but we go to Vegas for that."

"Okay, what are you thinking?"

"New Orleans, I've always wanted to go there."

Jasper went quiet, his lips pressed into a thin line and I sat back. I wasn't sure what it was that bothered him but the emotions dripping from him felt like anger, and fear.

"What, Jasper?"

"Alice, do you have any idea how many vampires are in New Orleans?"

"Really?"

"Really!" his answer was firm, he wasn't playing.

"Why's that?"

"It's a tourist town honey, it may as well be a buffet."

I sat back and thought about that. I had always wondered about tourist towns. We tried to avoid them at all costs, there was always too much attention drawn to us, and we preferred to stay under the radar. I had always wanted to see New Orleans though. The music fascinated me and in every movie I had seen set there made it look completely fun.

"Please, I promise, I'll keep out of trouble."

"Alice,"

"Jazz," I put on my best pout, I wasn't scared of vampires, I was sure they would leave us alone.

"No."

I sat back in my seat and thought for a second, I knew how to get my own way, but it would be risky trying it whilst we were in the car. I licked my lips and went for it. I swung my leg over Jasper and pulled myself into his lap, a leg either side of him. I kissed his neck tenderly and moved up to his jaw. I ran my lips down his jawbone to his chin and then planted the most passionate kiss I could on his lips. I felt his chest rise and fall with the exaggerated breaths and I smiled to myself.

"Please," I asked, my lips only inches from his.

He laughed and threw his head back onto the leather headrest. He took a quick peek over my shoulder and then looked into my eyes, and shook his head. He leaned in for another kiss but I backed away from him, I let my passionate emotion run wild as I fantasized about him. I knew what this would do to him and I wasn't playing fair. His eyes blazed with passion as he leant towards me again, I backed up again, I was up against the windshield and the steering wheel now, giggling hysterically.

"You're not playing fair, Alice."

I nodded and raised my eyebrows. "That's why you love me."

Jasper rolled his eyes and sighed. "Fine, but you stay close to me at all times, we leave when you're finished with your fun. Understand?"

I nodded and fell into him crushing my lips on his. His hand went up to my hair and pulled me closer to him. I smiled on his lips and melted at his touch. I sat back and looked deep into his eyes, they were full of desire. I laughed and ran my hand down the side of his face.

"You, my sweet, have to get back in your corner, before I roll this car, you have me too distracted."

I laughed and rolled back into my seat. I pulled my legs up to my chest and laid my chin on them. I watched him drive as he caught his breath. The sparkle in his eye kept the smile on my lips. I had to give it to Rosalie, sex was the greatest weapon.

We traveled down numerous highways and found our way to the outskirts of New Orleans, I could feel the smile on my lips as we neared our destination. Jasper had typed in Bourbon Street on the G.P.S. and it was telling us to turn left to get to our final destination. I couldn't contain my excitement. I was practically bouncing in my seat. Jasper's face had fallen into a serious scowl. His eyes flickered around us as he scanned the scene that played before our eyes. I knew what he was looking for. We parked on a quiet street away from the bedlam that was Bourbon Street. I hopped out and ran to the trunk of the car.

"Alice, what are you doing?"

"Jazz, c'mon, I need something to wear."

Jasper rolled his eyes and used the alarm clicker to open the trunk. I pulled a bag towards me and began rifling through it. I found the perfect dress and held it up for Jasper to see.

"Are you insane?"

"What?" I could feel my eyes narrowing without my consent, but it seemed to work, Jasper stepped back and held up his hands.

"Just hurry, baby." He leaned forward and planted a kiss on my lips before leaning against the car and looking out for people. I pulled my shirt off quickly and hoisted the turquoise dress over my head and down over my hips. The dress hugged tightly at the top with the empire bodice and then the silk fell beautifully around the rest of my body. The turquoise and brown did wonders with my pale skin. I unbuttoned my jeans and pulled them down, throwing them into the trunk of the car. I rifled through until I found the perfect shoes. My Manolo's the turquoise interiors matched the dress perfectly and the plain black shoe with the exaggerated ankle strap was gorgeous. They were perfect. I pulled them on and slammed the trunk shut. I danced around to the side of the car and fluffed my hair in the windows reflection. I smiled at my reflection.

"Well?" I asked Jasper, spinning slightly.

Jasper smiled and shook his head. "Perfect as always."

I laughed and took his arm and we strolled towards the infamous Bourbon street.

The amount of people that surrounded us was overwhelming and I immediately regretted my decision, I should have known better than to drag Jasper somewhere where humans were practically on top of one another. I looked up at him apologetically, but he grinned at me happily.

"I'm sorry, Jasper." I was on the tips of my toes as close to his ear as I could get, the noise was amazing.

Jasper leaned forward and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer. His mouth was at my ear. "Remember you fed me a big dinner, Alice. I'm fine."

I laughed and picked up his hand, there was some bluesy music coming from a bar close by and I wanted to dance.

We entered the bar as the song was changing, a slower number came on and I pulled Jasper onto the dance floor and stretched to put my arms around his neck. He laughed and I moved my hands down to wrap around his waist, he snaked his around mine and we just swayed to the music. It was the only thing we could do, the bar was packed tight, it was apparently a band that everyone was enthusiastic about. I laid my head on Jasper's chest and closed my eyes, swaying along with him in time to the music.

I felt Jasper's cheek on the top of my head and I smiled to myself. I was perfectly content to be wrapped in his embrace. I tried to block my visions for a while, all I could see was women approaching and asking to dance with Jasper and it was frustrating me. I knew he was irresistible but this was ridiculous. I felt Jasper's head move and placed a hand under my chin and pulled my face up to his and kissed me. I felt the joy surge through my body and I ached for him. As we pulled apart I looked deeply into his eyes. The surge of passion and love flowed between us like electricity, there was no need for words, we said it all through our own little sparks. It was ours, a bond between us that no one else could ever understand.

The song ended and we applauded the band happily. The next song was more upbeat and Jasper headed for the bar, he held my hand until he was to far out of reach and I smiled at him. He was going to let me dance.

I swayed my hips to the music and kept my eyes on Jasper, he was leaning against the bar looking like a deity that even the angels couldn't resist, the rhythm was hypnotizing and I lost myself in the moment.

After about four songs I was ready to move on, Jasper had been hit on more times than he could count on his hands and toes, he was wearing his wedding band and would flash it in the lights like it was a medal of honor. I laughed every time. I should have been jealous but I knew he was mine, for eternity. I had nothing to worry about.

I had also received unwelcome attention, but I had handled it a little better, I would see them coming and fling my arms about. I would generally catch them with a right hook before they got close and then apologize for my clumsiness. Most of them would take off, but those who found it endearing, met my husband.

The hours were moving on and it was time to get out before the sun came up. The bar had been emptying steadily but the band played as long as there was an audience. On the way out I picked up a CD, I smiled to myself. When Edward came home he would really appreciate this band. I didn't let my thoughts linger on my brother, wherever he was he was fine, I saw it as soon as I thought of him. Jasper picked up my hand and guided me out of the bar and into the filthy streets. I was almost giddy. The air smelt like stale alcohol and hot trash, so I held my breath as we walked towards the car. As we turned down the street that we parked the Mercedes on Jasper froze and pulled me close to him. I looked up and him curiously.

"What's the. . ." I didn't have to say anymore, with words came breath, with breath came smell, and I could smell them.

"Stay close to me." Jasper said quickly and quietly for only me to hear. I nodded, I couldn't say anything, I had, once again, gotten us into this mess with my persistence.

They stepped out of an alleyway a block from the car. There were two of them and they didn't look friendly. Jasper's lips curled back over his teeth and a guttural growl emitted from him, I was crouched and ready to prance, I could feel my lip curl slowly over my teeth.

The male that had stepped from the shadow laughed and stepped forward. Jasper crouched deeper. I flanked his left, eyeing the female that was slinking towards us behind the male.

"What do we have here?" purred the male acidly.

"We were just leaving," hissed Jasper, I knew he was following every move the male made, I was doing the same with the female. The female cackled and hissed at me and then continued to cackle as if she found herself to be amusing.

"Sapphire, be nice to our guests." said the male tipping his head to the side and eyeing me up and down. Jasper's growl turned into a snarl as he stepped closer towards me. He was going to get himself torn apart trying to protect me, I tried to concentrate to see if I could get far enough ahead to see in the future. They were looking stunned beyond belief, the Mercedes disappearing around the corner. Then I could see these two cornering a human in a dark alleyway. I was sure this meant that they were just teasing us. A fight would mean a lot of noise and unwanted attention. They wouldn't be able to feed if that happened. Not only that if we just walked away it would shock them into submission, at least that's how I interpreted it. I took my chance and stood up. The female, Sapphire, cackled again.

"No fight?" she whined. Her nasal tones instantly irked me and I rolled my eyes.

"Nope, we're leaving."

"Say's who?" said the male, I felt Jasper tense again. I crouched next to him and leaned in close.

"They don't want a fight, too much noise. We have to do something shocking so they won't have time to think" I said under my breath so that only he could hear me. He nodded and straightened up picking up my hand. The two of us headed towards the car.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?" Sapphire screeched.

The two of us ignored them and carried on forward. Jasper shouldered the male hard as he walked past. The male stumbled and stared incredulously after us, I sneered at him and followed Jasper to the car.

"Get in." he said under his breath.

We both hopped into the car and Jasper turned the key bringing the engine purring to life. The male and female stood staring at us as we pulled away from the curb.

"Good call, Alice." Jasper sighed in relief.

"Sorry," I whispered from my side of the car.

"Alice, I had fun."

I laughed and raised my eyebrows at him. "Okay so getting advances from adoring females and fights with the locals, constitutes as a good time. Good to know."

He rolled his eyes and laughed. I pulled the CD out of my pocket and popped it into the player on the dash and turned it up. A grin spread widely across Jasper's face and he raised his eyebrows.

"What?" I asked grinning back at him.

"I was just thinking, do I get a private dance whilst we're stuck in the hotel room?"

My mouth fell open in astonishment but quickly formed into a seductive smile. "We'll see."
