Maybe Baby
AN: Ok I have a list of reasons why I have taken so long to put up this chapter and they are good but I'm just gonna leave at VOTE in the poll on my profile. When I post the next chapter it'll be taken down and the decision will be revealed.
Chapter 5
POV: Alice
I had practically gotten everything in my apartment spotless since I knew Jasper was coming and to be completely honest I had crap everywhere. Work had been non-stop it seemed and though it helped me build up my closet even more, to the point I actually managed to part with 2 whole trash bags to make room in my already crowded closet but I still had done nothing else to maintain my usually tidy apartment other then washing dishes.
As I ran the vacuum over my living room carpet I heard the familiar tune of 'Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy.' I quickly shut off the vacuum and slipped my Bluetooth back onto my ear before pushing the answer button.
"Hey" I smiled rushing towards my room to throw the last of the clothes I'd yet to put away on the floor of my linen closet, I preferred for them to at least be out of sight and that Millie didn't turn them into her bed at night like she was known to do.
I barely noticed he was talking to someone in the background because I was too caught up in where to stash the rest of my laundry before he finally spoke to me.
"Sorry the minute you picked up a cab stopped for me" he laughed as I heard bad music from his end; some cab drivers had diverse tastes.
"Not a problem, so you should be here in what an hour?" she asked knowing traffic would be a little fearsome this weekend, apparently a bunch of foreign diplomats were in town and their convoys always messed with traffic.
"An hour?" I heard him ask the cab drive. "Yeah he believes so"
"Alright well call my cell when you get to the lobby, I am gonna shower, I'm gross right now" I frowned before sniffing myself, I didn't smell horrible just sweaty and my hair felt a little greasy.
"Will do" he chuckled. "See you soon"
"Yay" I smiled, I was genuinely excited to know I wouldn't have to sleep alone tonight, I'd missed him and as pathetic as that may sound since we've only really spent 5 nights together it was the truth. I usually tossed and turned for a good 2 hours before finally falling asleep but whenever he was there I was out like a light, comfortable enough in his arms that I didn't frustrate myself to the point of insanity before succumbing to sleep. "See you in a bit"
After hanging up with Jasper I quickly finished vacuuming before rolling the cord back up and stashing it in the hall closet before making a mad dash to my shower. I had an hour to make myself look presentable, a feat that when including a shower would take at least an extra half hour.
POV: Jasper
The cab driver was a nice enough guy but the music was more than a tad irritating, it was like an hour of the same exact song followed a lot of times by foreign shouts at other drivers and pedestrians who insisted on jay walking. Once we pulled up to the familiar building I grabbed my lap top bag and my small duffle before handing him the allotted fair and tip.
"Afternoon Jasper" Hank said as I entered the building lobby. He was talking to another doorman who looked a great deal younger, possibly closer to my age.
"Afternoon Hank" I replied with a smile and small wave in his direction. The other doorman was looking at my oddly as I pushed the call button on the elevator.
"Jasper, this is James he'll be taking a few more weekend shifts" Hank explained.
"Nice to meet you James" I called over while he continued to look a little confused.
"So you're the new tenant of 3B, nice to meet you" he said as if it had just dawned on him who I was.
I let a small smile of amusement grace my lips. "No just coming to spend time with my girlfriend" I smiled as Hank chuckled while I walked inside, hearing Hank explain who my girlfriend was and informing James that I was on the 'Ok list.'
When I reached Alice's familiar door I barely had a chance to knock before the door was thrown open and she was wrapped around my body. It took me a moment to recover before I returned her kiss with a chuckle mixed in. She must have really missed me, and I'd be lying if I said I hadn't missed her either.
"Bout time you got here" she grinned once she pulled away from my mouth.
"I'm sorry darlin'" I smiled stepping into her apartment before dropping my bag to the floor while Alice slid down as well.
"How was your flight?" she asked as Millie came tearing into the living room to leap at my feet.
"Uneventful thankfully" I sighed before bending down to pick up the hyper active pup at my feet. "Millie missed me too" I chuckled as the small dog continued to squirm and lick whatever skin of mine she could reach, normally she would calm down a few seconds after I held her but now didn't seem to be the case.
"She needs to be walked, we were gonna wait for you, do you wanna come or get settled while I walk her?" Alice asked pulling out the purple leash and a lime green and purple hoodie for Millie.
"I'll come with, would do me good to stretch my legs" I responded setting Millie on the back of Alice's couch so she could put her sweater and leash on.
Once Millie was ready Alice grabbed her keys and headed for the door locking it as we entered the hall.
"I missed you" she blushed once we were in the elevator. I smiled and leaned down to kiss her softly before I felt Millie licking my chin and pulled away.
"I see that was simply a ploy so Millie could give some love" I laughed while Alice shook her head with an amused smile.
"I think she loves you more than me, actually she seems to love you and my brother's more than me" she sighed setting Millie on the floor before the doors opened. I wrapped an arm around her waist as we stepped out into the lobby.
"As a female dog I think you should rejoice in that" I chuckled as we headed for the door, sending a quick wave to Hank and James, though James didn't look to happy to see me again and it had barely been 5 minutes.
"But she should always love her mother more" Alice pouted, jutting her lower lip out and crossing her arms as she walked.
"I'm sorry darlin' I think Millie is going through her rebellious years" chuckling as I mimicked my father's classic line delivered when each of my younger siblings hit puberty, he probably said the same thing about me.
"Smart ass" she huffed, a smile trying to fight its way through her pout.
"Whose bright idea was this again?" I asked Rosalie as Emmett and Alice remained twisted up with one another on the mat, Alice had tactfully taken out Rosalie while I hadn't stood a chance when I had the most convenient green for Emmett to reach with his left leg, I'd been knocked to the ground and had almost taken Rosalie with me, that's when Alice saw her opening and knocked the blondes left leg out from under her she and Emmett rejoicing in their defeat of the blondes.
"The pixie, always blame the pixie" Rosalie shrugged before giggling as Alice and Emmett fought over a red dot with their left hands.
"It's not like there aren't any more dots" I shouted above their banter and the loud music we'd put on hours before when we had been playing Monopoly a game I had won.
"I'm short I can't reach past this oafs tree of a leg" Alice cried while elbowing Emmett in the side again.
"Not my fault you are the size of dwarf" Emmett said with a huge grin before tumbling to the ground when Alice moved her right leg to knee his butt. As Emmett fell to the ground Alice jumped up claiming victory.
"Sorry Ali but you just lost, rules state you had to knock him over with the appendage called, your right foot was to stay planted" Rose laughed while Alice's face fell for a moment before she stuck out her tongue and stomped towards me to plop onto my lap.
"I'm the winner that's right, that's right, oh yeah!" Emmett cheered do some odd dance you'd expect to see enacted by a football player who just scored a touchdown.
It had been an interesting evening meeting Rosalie and Emmett, according to Alice they had met the same night we had at the club and Rosalie was her only real friend in New York. I hadn't learned too much about Emmett except that he worked for the fire department and since meeting Rose had as Alice put it become her friends shadow causing Emmett to be included in Alice's small circle of friends, the two had gone out for drinks, lunch, movies and what not when I was back home and Rosalie was off on a shoot. When Alice had described Rose to me she had simply asked if I was able to get online or knew someone who had a Victoria Secret catalogue. I had been with my sister Raleigh's so I knew she would likely have one, apparently every household with a female who had ever so much as purchased a bottle of lotion got one in the mail. When Alice asked me if it was recent I had told her it was and she had instructed me on which page to turn, leave it to Alice to send me to Rose's skimpiest pose instead of one of her more modest poses in a robe.
"So what game now kiddies?" Emmett asked while Alice remained curled up on my lap seeming tired, it was unusual for her but judging by how clean her apartment was I was willing to bet that was what she had been doing all day long.
"How about the sleep game, I think this one is ready for bed" I smiled as Alice burrowed into my chest while Emmett folded up the vinyl mat and put it back in the box.
"Party poopers" Emmett said blowing a raspberry at us before moving from his knees to stand.
"We'll let you two be alone, don't forget about the barbecue for the fire department tomorrow afternoon" Rose reminded grabbing her bag before pulling Emmett toward the door.
"Night Pixie, nice meeting you Jasper see you two tomorrow" he called before shutting the door behind them.
"Ah alone at last" Alice sighed sliding her hand down my chest before sliding her hand beneath my t-shirt and up over my skin, tracing the contours of my chest.
"I thought you were tired" I breathed trying to keep my voice even as she slid her hand barely beneath the hem of my jeans causing my muscles to tighten slightly.
"I'm not that tired" she smiled running her hand down the front of my jeans and over my fly teasingly while I let out a low moan at the contact.
POV: Alice
I really had missed him and though I wanted him to meet Rose and Emmett I didn't expect for them to come and stay so late, not that it wasn't fun but I really wanted some time alone with Jasper, for some reason it just seemed to be harder being away from him for the past few weeks, harder than the last time. Was I really turning into that kind of girl who hated being away from her boyfriend? I mean we'd talked a lot on the phone while he was away and maybe that is what really made me miss him even more, I couldn't help but think how I would fair if we didn't get to talk at least once a day when he was away.
"Where did you go just now?" Jasper's voice brought me away from my thoughts, had I really just spaced out while trying to seduce him?
"Sorry I was just thinking" I sighed moving my face into the crook of his neck, all thoughts of seducing him clear from my mind for now.
"About?" so he was gonna probe for an answer. I guess it made sense he was nothing if not attentive when he was around, hell even on the phone he could tell when things were really bothering me, why should now be any different.
"It's stupid" I said though to me it really wasn't.
"I'm sure it's not that stupid" he chuckled rubbing my back; it was such a soothing gesture. I really think I missed his touch the most and I don't mean that in a sexual manner but intimate, caring, not sexual but concerned or something.
"I'm turning into one of those pathetic girls who is miserable when her boyfriend isn't around, you know I pouted yesterday because we only got to speak for a few moments on the phone, I mean I've never been desperate or clingy in a relationship and for some reason I feel like I'm doing just that or about to, I mean I didn't even wanna share you with Rose and Emmett tonight, I wanted them gone once Monopoly was over, that's why I cheated with Rose and Emmett so it would just end. I mean I faked being tired so as not to hurt their feelings!" I was rambling and he was totally calm, what the hell is wrong with me?
"I miss you too when I'm gone" he said kissing my hair.
"Ignore me, I'm PMS'ing" I said pulling away and removing myself from his lap to take the glasses and beer bottles into the kitchen. "I think that's a big part of it" I said when I looked up to see him looking a little confused.
"So you are having mood swings, should I be careful what I say?" he asked trying to make me smile but even I could tell by the way he said it that it was a half-assed joke even in his mind.
"Nah, I usually just get clingy or go into seclusion" I sighed seating the glasses in the dishwasher and throwing the empty bottles in the trash.
AN: Now vote and review and I will post the lemon… hehe I hope that's incentive enough for y'all. Ok now I set this chapter up and it can go 1 of two ways, she's knocked up already and showing signs or she's not yet knocked up and her period will hit with the vengeance of a thousand or more disgruntled unemployed people. Yeah losing your job due to the economy sucks so it seemed like a good analogy for a really bad period. Anyways onward. REVIEW &VOTE
