Jasper sat down at the counter on the next stool over from Alice, he was confused. Why did this woman kiss him? Did she know him? From what he knew, she was too a vampire. Thoughts were spinning around and around in his mind.

There was no denying this woman was the most beautiful he had ever seen and he felt attracted to her, but he was confused as to why she seemed to know him before he even set foot in the restaurant door.

He leaned a little closer to her, her hair smelt like a bouquet of orchids with a hint of sweetness, like lilies. For a vampire her lips were unbelievably red, the colour of the skin of a red apple. Her smile was dazzling.

She turned her face towards him and Jasper sat back up in his original position. Alice knew what he was doing, she saw him in her vision, but she just smiled to herself and tried not to let on that she knew.

Jasper still couldn't figure her out. He didn't know what to say to her. Could the reason it seemed that she knew him already, be that she had a secret ability like he did? If so, what was it? He was too unsure of the situation to ask, he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of this beautiful being.

"M'am, excuse me for being forward, but I believe I don't even know your name" he finally worked up the courage to ask

"Oh sorry sir" she replied with a warm smile, "I'm Alice. And you are Jasper" she added with a cheeky grin.

Jasper was stunned, she knew his name too?

"How do you know my name? How did you know who I was? I'm confused"

Alice giggled

"Relax handsome" she told him, placing her hand on his face and stroking it with her thumb, he immediately relaxed under her touch, which was weird for him because he was the one who normally had to calm everyone around him.

"I have an ability, I can see the future" she told him. He returned the favour of the touch by moving a piece of hair out of her eyes so that he could see them better. They were a golden brown, like maple syrup, unlike his, which were blood red from consuming human blood.

"I have the ability to manipulate emotions, and it seems I don't have to use it on you Miss"

"Not that I don't love your gentlemanly gestures, but please PLEASE call me Alice, no more miss or m'am, ok?"

"Ok, I promise"

Alice noticed the expression on his face, he wasn't looking directly at her anymore, he was looking down at his hands.

"Oh you're not offended are you?"

"Oh, no no, I'm not" he looked back up at her

Then she put her hands over his and leaned forward and kissed him again.
