I am soooooo sorry about taking so long to update. My poor little laptop crashed, and with it went A LOT of my work. I still haven't gotten it fixed, so i'm typing this from my dads laptop. I will try to update more often. I don't want to give up on my stories.
Anywho- Heres another chapter. Are you guys getting tired of Jasper stories? I want to know... He's my favorite, but I don't wanna be a burnout.
Enjoy, and thanks for reading.
Quote- A loved one will warm your heart.
POV- Jasper :)
It was a cold fall evening, and the whole house was running a muck. It was only a few hours till Halloween, and our house was the talk of the town. Alice had gone overboard with the decorations again. Ghosts filled the trees, plastic tombstones raided the yard, and the scent of pumpkins practically filled the air. The house looked like something out of a Halloween movie. I think that Halloween is a particularly annoying holiday, but as long as my dear Alice is happy, I'm happy.
The beginning of the day started of nicely. But towards the end, things began to change. After Nessie and the rest of the family took of, Alice and I went for a quick hunt. We had ran a good hour and ended up running straight into a severe storm. Alice ran straight to a small grove in the hill. A large rock provided a warm place for us to lay. Naturally, I expected this to be planned. Alice wouldn't let herself wander into something like this unless she needed something.
" May I ask why you led us straight to a storm, Darling?" I asked her as I wiped a raindrop off her delicate face.
" Oh, there's no reason to my madness, Jazz. Haven't you learned that by now?" I stared at her intently for a moment. " Okay, well... Maybe I wanted to spend some alone time with my favorite husband?"
" Favorite? Aren't I your only husband?"
" Yes, and that's why you are so special to me." she said as she leaned onto me.
With wet clothes, we sat and watched the rain pouring into the woods. Alice was sitting in my lap, her back resting against my chest. It was a complete moment of bliss. Which was something we haven't had in a while. It had been just one year since the war with the Voltouri, and we had been on edge most of the year.
This past year has been full of neglectfulness. Everyone has been either watching for another fight, enjoying Reneesme's childhood, or trying to get life back on track. Almost all of the couples, Esme and Carlisle included, have been lacking in the love department. Its not that nobody wanted to, we just didn't have time. There were other things that needed to be taken care of.
I looked back at the woods around us. The rain left an eerie fog that fit the mood of Halloween. The rain still falling, gave of a relaxing sound. Animals, enjoying the rain, stepped on the fallen leaves.
" Well, My love. You may have been right. This is a perfect way to spend time together. I don't think I have been this relaxed in awhile. Fall has got to be my favorite time of year. Everything is so beautiful. Not as beautiful as you though." I said as I ran my hands up and down her bare arms.
" I know it is. I wanted to spend some time together. It feels like we haven't had enough time to ourselves lately. I wanted to do something that we haven't done before. And this seemed perfect. Its a little chilly and wet, but its also very romantic."
" That it is, My darling. Remember when it used to be just you and I on our own? We never had a house, or a place to stay. We'd usually just stay in the woods all day. I kind of miss those days. Now, I love my life now and could never imagine being anywhere else. But back then, things seemed so much simpler. We had time to just love."
" Those were some good times, Jasper. And you're right. We did have more time for each other then. But maybe with a little planning, we can do more together again. We could even take a month off and go traveling. We could go to London. I've heard that its nice this time of year."
" You have no clue how nice that sounds. Now, I love our family to death. But they can be a little much at times. But we have to be back by Christmas. Emmett and I promised Nessie that we would take her sledding. She says Edward is to protective when it comes to things like that."
Alice let of a bell-like laughter. " Of course. We will be back for Christmas. I have to by new wardrobes for everyone."
" Sounds like a deal then. I can't wait to spend some time with you, and you only." I said as I kissed the back of her head.
She turned around in my lap. " Well, we could always being our vacation a little early."
" How early?" I whispered breathlessly. Her face, small and delicate, was withing an inch of mine. Her scent drove me crazy. She is, and will always be, my everything.
" How about right now? I'm cold, so why don't you warm up my heart?" she whispered back with a seductive voice.
" I think I can handle that."
" Did you get a lot of sweet candy, Nessie?" Alice asked as we walked back into out home.
" YES! I got so much." Our exuberant niece, who was no-doubt on a sugar high, said.
" I have a feeling that no amount of candy she has will amount to the sweetness that went on in those woods. I swear, you two are more passionate than... I don't even know. Its somewhat sickly sweet." Edward said as he read our mind.
" Hey, you are never to old to trick-or-treat. We just went after something sweeter and more valuable than candy." I replied.
I hope there wern't to many errors. I wrote this in about and hour, and didn't have an editor handy. Should i continue? Thanks for reading, and please leave a review ( Neg. or Pos.) :p
