Audition

Jasper sat in line on the sidewalk with hundreds of young hopeful girls. His jaw clenched to keep from breathing them in, and he buried his head in book.

Alice had decided she wanted to audition for a dance company, just for fun. But she also urgently wanted to go shopping, so here Jasper was waiting in line for her.

The girls around him were not oblivious to the gorgeous mysterious guy sat there reading, his honey blonde hair gently falling in his eyes, his ripped muscles visible beneath his light cotton tee. They were surprised he wasn't cold in the early morning air.

Soon, they began talking to him, because who wouldn't talk to a gorgeous man they were sat next to for hours?

At first they felt nervous and scared to approach him, but soon they found themselves feeling at ease.

"So what are you doing here all on your own?" a tall bubbly dark haired girl named Stacy, asked.

"I'm waiting for my girlfriend," Jasper replied quietly.

The girls "aww"ed in unison. This guy was seriously adorable.

"That's so sweet of you! My boyfriend wouldn't be caught dead at a dance audition, let alone get up this early to come wait with me," a blonde girl named Rebecca swooned.

Jasper shrugged and smiled, "I don't mind."

The girls "aww"ed again. They inched closer to him, feeling braver, and tried to get the beautiful guy to keep talking. His voice was like gravelly honey, sexy and delicious.

"What's your girlfriend's name?" Stacy asked.

"Alice," Jasper replied softly, and his eyes shone when he said it. Just her name on his tongue made him so happy.

"She's a lucky girl," Rebecca sighed, and then blushed that she'd said it out loud.

Jasper chuckled softly and shook his head, "I'm the lucky one."

The girls thought they would just about faint from swooning at how adorable this guy was. They tried to flirt a bit as they talked, because they couldn't help themselves. But while the gorgeous guy was polite and nice, he was completely unresponsive to their flirting. It was obvious he was seriously in love with his girlfriend. Even though they couldn't help being jealous, it made them happy that such a guy existed, because it gave them hope that maybe one day they'd find one. They looked forward to meeting the girl who'd managed to get this guy later at the audition.

When the monitor came out and set up the sign up list, Jasper put away his book, folding down a corner of the page to mark his place. When his turn came for the sign up list, he wrote Alice Cullen.

He texted Alice to let her know he was done, and what time she had to arrive for the audition.

Later in the day, the girls from that morning saw the girl they had been wondering about. Alice pulled up at the dance studio in a bright yellow Porsche that made several people turn heads.

She bounced out of the car and over to Jasper, looking like she was dancing already. The girls were surprised how tiny she was compared to the gorgeous guy's big frame, and at her short spiky hair and slim almost androgynous look under the designer clothing she wore. They had been expecting a leggy supermodel when wondering who could be worthy of such a beautiful devoted boyfriend.

But the way he looked at her, it was clear he thought she was the most beautiful thing in the world. Watching him look at her, the girls realized she was very beautiful in her own unique way. Her small features were delicate like a mystical creature, and she seemed to radiate a kind of bright glow that was very attractive.

She jumped up to hug Jasper when she reached him, and she was so small he easily lifted her off the ground. She kissed his cheek and then stroked it with her little hand and they heard her thank him for waiting in line.

They were surprised when the gorgeous guy said something to her, and jerked his head in their direction. Alice laughed, and tugged his hand as she flitted over to them.

"Hi!" she said brightly, "My boyfriend says you were asking about me."

The girls were taken aback at her exuberance and friendliness.

"I'm Alice. It's nice to meet you! I'm excited to be auditioning together," she said with a warm smile.

The girls introduced themselves, and felt their shock calm into a comfortable feeling, as Alice launched into conversation with them. Her gorgeous boyfriend just stood there silently, holding her hand, watching her talk animatedly like she was the only thing on earth.

The girls, whose boyfriends had groaned and made excuses not to come and support them because they would be bored and uncomfortable, couldn't believe how devoted the guy was to Alice, and how he seemed so content just to be around her. His whole demeanor seemed a little brighter than it was earlier as he focused on her, like she was making him happier just by being there.

The girls wished for themselves that one day they would have such sweet and devoted boyfriends.
