By popular demand, there will be guy POVs! So here we are with our dear pal, Woody the Cowboy (:
I glared up at the ever-bright sun that beat down on my stupid cowboy hat and caused beads of sweat to pour down my face.
Bree was nice enough. She kept me from wanting to kill myself with her witty jokes and amusement park secrets, but I wanted to find someone to bring home to mama. That's right, a girlfriend.
Mama wasn't all too impressed with my last girlfriend. Maria. Long dark hair, legs for days, and all that. Dark and mysterious beauty with a bit of a Hispanic flair.
That relationship was over in the blink of an eye, because she had cheated on me with one of my best friends, Peter. Guess your mama always does know best.
So here I stood, under the blazing sun, dressed as Woody from a Toy Story, while this idiot in a Rex costume attempted to quote lines from the movie with me.
"Mike, just leave Jasper alone." Bree sighed
"How can you play a Disney character and not know any of their famous lines? Man, if I was Woody I'd walk around with one of those etch-a-sketches and go "Reach for the stars!" "
"You see, that's the difference between you and me, Mike. That's why I can get a girl and you can't. Because a job is a job, not a second persona. So you can just run along and pretend to be a giant dinosaur, and I'll just stand here with a fake smile until my shift is up."
He mumbled something under his breath, and stalked off behind some high school musical cheerleader, who's name I think was Jessica.
That's when I saw her.
She was adjusting her wire-rimmed wings and trying to be nice to a rather nasty Tinkerbell impersonator.
Even from the back you could tell she was gorgeous.
Her hair was midnight black and stuck out in a thousand different directions. Her skin was smooth and creamy looking, and she had a great fit, skinny, petite body. Definitely one of a dancer.
She whipped around as if she could sense someone staring at her, and then quickly returned her gaze to Tinkerbell when my eyes locked with her.
Clearly, I had judged her too soon.
She wasn't pretty. She was gorgeous.
Piercing blue eyes, much like my own, and pale pink lips that were so plump and delicate you couldn't help wishing that yours were against them.
"Who's that?" I breathed, hoping that somehow the answer would just come to me
"Alice Brandon of Pixie Hollow." Bree smirked
"New?"
"Yeah. From some small town in Washington. Her and her friend Bella got jobs here and are staying with Bella's mother."
"Is she-
"Yes, she's single, Jasper." Bree laughed, rubbing my shoulder, "You're so predictable, it's ridiculous."
"Thank you for the background check." I laughed, "I'm going to introduce myself to her."
"Isn't she a little out of your league, Cowboy?"
"Psh, please, Jessie, I can date a fairy or pixie if I so choose. Besides, you're dating Popeye, you hypocrite."
"You're right, you're right." She laughed, "Good luck soldier!"
"At ease, Bree." I smiled, saluting her and heading over to the two fairies
"Hello there girls." I grinned, tipping my dorky cowboy hat
"Hi there." Tinkerbell grinned, automatically thrusting her chest forward
"I don't believe that I've met you before." I murmured
"Tanya. You're Jasper Whitlock, I'd assume?"
"Nice to meet you and yes, I am. But I was talking to this lovely lady beside you, actually."
Alice looked up into my eyes hopefully.
"Oh." Tanya scoffed
"My name's Alice." She smiled, reaching out to shake my hand
"Jasper." I grinned, extending my arm further, "Care to take a lil' stroll?"
"I'd love too." She blushed, accepting my gesture
I walked her towards a Dip and Dots cart and motioned for Tyler to make 2 cups for me.
"What flavor?"
"Um, strawberry." She decided
"Really?"
"Yes." She laughed, "Is there a problem with that flavor?"
"I wouldn't have pegged you for a simple flavor liking person. Something complex with chocolate chips or fruit instead."
"Depends on my mood." She decided
"Fair enough."
I collected the cups and handed her the one filled with small pink dots of ice cream.
"Did you take your lunch yet?" I asked her
"No, but it's pretty slow today anyway, I don't think Tanya will miss me. Besides, what child wants a random pixie's autograph or picture."
"I would." I chuckled
"Really?" she laughed, batting her eyelashes and adjusting the wings again
So she wanted to tease. Two could play at that game.
I was just going to lay the accent on thick.
"Very much so, darlin'."
"Darlin'? You from down south?"
Why go into specifics? Perhaps I could save it as a topic for a date.
How do you even know, she likes you, idiot?
She has to.
"Sure am."
"I've always wanted to go somewhere in the South." She sighed, putting the spoon down in her cup, "Well, anywhere really."
"From a small town, then, I take it?"
"Only the smallest. Forks, Washington, where everyone knows everyone. You get a paper cut, and your neighbor is there in a flash with a band aid and Aquaphor."
I couldn't help letting out a chuckle. She had a great sense of humor.
"I know, we barely talked and only exchanged names, but would you by any chance want to go out?"
"Like on a date?" she asked
Oh, shoot, she definitely doesn't like me. Don't beat around the bush, reject me.
"Yeah."
"Oh, I'd love to. Just not here, right? I'm so sick of this place."
"Of course not here. How about Universal?" I joked
"Too similar." She frowned
"Nah, it'll be you and me and a nice dinner where we can simply get to know each other."
"That sounds nice."
Thank goodness.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow at seven?"
"That'd be great. Here, let me give you my address." She mumbled, scribbling her address on my hand
"Would it be too much to ask for your number?" I grinned
"Of course not." She laughed, her laugh like silvery wind chimes that had just been polished
She pulled out her phone to hand to me to give her my number and must have seen the time.
"Oh shoot!" she hissed
"What? You alright?"
"I have to meet my friend for lunch in about five minutes." She explained, pocketing the phone
"I'll see you tomorrow?" she called, starting to skip off
"Tomorrow." I promised, watching her dance away
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, I kept thinking, repeating it in my head like a mantra.
I whipped out my phone and hit speed dial.
"Jasper Thomas is that you, boy?"
"It is mama, and I might've found a girl that's good enough to bring home. In fact, I've just met her, and I think that I'm in love with her."
