I don't own these characters I just dig through their minds and check out what's in there.

This is a writing exercise to see how many ways I can express emotion in words.

I got the idea to write this because bouncy 72 said she could see that Jasper and Alice could convey so much in just a touch. So when this assignment popped up it seemed like a perfect opportunity.

Everything below is obviously from Jasper's POV but it is all in language used by Jasper to reference himself. Alice's thoughts are her own, but you are getting them through the filter of Jasper's mind. HE IS NOT TELLING ALICE HOW SHE FEELS!

Just a Touch

I sit on the couch alone just staring into space. A hand softly brushes mine for just a split second. I know it is Alice because of everything that comes at me.

I feel everything I hold in my soul for Alice.

I love you with all my heart and all my soul. My love for you is like a water fall, it just keeps flowing with no apparent end. Nothing in the word could ever make me stop loving you. Nothing in the world heals me the way your love does. Without your love I would be a ship lost at sea in the night. My daily existence depends on your love for me. Without your love I would breakdown and cease to be.

I need you to survive. Without you I would be a monster of a man. Without you I would have nothing to strive for and nothing to be good for. When the people around me start smelling a little too good you're mere existence is the thing that holds me back, and keeps me in check. Without you the Volturi would have taken me out a long time ago. I need you the way I used to need air; you are the air I breathe to survive now. I need you so much more than emotionally. I need your hugs and your kisses and your tender touches. I need the soft slip and slide of your skin against mine when we're alone in our room.

I want you like a fire wants oxygen. There is a fire that burns down in my soul that can only be quenched after hours and hours with you, alone. I want to touch you and love you and make you feel loved. I want to make you come as many times a day as possible. I want to hold you close and hear your soft sounds against my ear as I use every part of my body, every part of my being to make you melt into me over and over again. I so want you sexually that it's a miracle I don't have a permanent hard on.

You are the most beautiful creature I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. You are beautiful on the outside and on the inside. Your smile lights up my life. Your eyes dissect my soul to find every single wound so you can go fix each one in turn. You try so hard to make me comfortable, even if that just means holding my hand and concentrating on feeling soothed. You have the heart of a legion of Angels. You are my commander and I will follow you anywhere.

I adore you with every ounce of my being. You are the most loving creature I have ever known and I love you more than anyone else that has ever been in my life.

You mean more to me than my own existence. You are the sun in my sky, golden and warm. You are the moon that lights up my night when everything else is dark and lonely. You might as well be the blood I drink because without you I wouldn't even have to power to not massacre the nearest town at the drop of a hat.

I cherish you, I have to love you and care for you. I have to protect you and keep you close. There is no part of my life that means more. There is no part of my everyday that means more to me than the moments I get to spend with you.

I am in awe of you. You are the strongest person I have ever known. You have been through so much and you have every reason not to love or trust anyone, yet you love harder than anyone I have ever been around, you trust stronger than anything I have ever experienced. You are simply amazing and wonderful and perfect.

I want to be close to you every minute of my every day. I want to hold you in my arms for the rest of eternity and it still won't be long enough. Even though I fear your eventual rejection I want nothing more than to tell you everything about me. I want you to know my every fear – which you do. I want you to know my every shortcoming, even the human ones that never had any impact on you. You want to bare my soul to you every chance I get, not because it's easy but because it makes holding you so much better.

I am so grateful for your love. I can't get over the way you love me even when I don't deserve it. I am so grateful that you comfort me and keep me safe. I am so grateful that you want to love me. Mostly I am grateful that you are mine. You could have left before we met, you could leave at any time but you don't. You love me as much as I love you. You make everything that's wrong with me, okay. If it weren't for you I would still be stumbling around the wilderness somewhere trying not to feel terror and fear constantly.

You make me so happy. Every smile that crosses my face is caused in some way by you. If it weren't for you I wouldn't have two brothers, I wouldn't have Carlisle and Esme, I wouldn't have love in my life at all.

I am honored that you chose me. I am honored that you love me. I am honored that you stay with me and never blame me, even when you should. I am honored that I get to call you mine. I am most honored that you call me yours.

I am humbled to the depths of my soul by you. I don't deserve a single moment with you and yet here you are my spiky haired angel, the love of my life, the love of my existence.

I know I shouldn't be anymore but I am so nervous around you, almost constantly. I feel like everyday is the first day I met you. I feel like a nervous school boy, holding the hand of my first crush. To be honest you were my first crush, I was just lucky you loved me too. Every time you walk into a room I get butterflies in my stomach and no matter what's going on I just want to smile at you.

My head can get so hectic; I can get so busy hating myself and being mean to myself. When you're around everything seems to calm a little. Whenever I get to hold you I'm calm and my broken heart feels peace.

You never cease to surprise me. You always do something to take my breath away. You always find a way to make me love you more. You find a way to make me smile when I think it's impossible. You always find a way to give me hope, when nothing else does. You are simply the most surprising part of my life, and I love you for it.

Sometimes I don't trust anyone, but I absolutely always trust you. You take my trust and hold it so safe in your hands. I know that my trust is never misplaced when I leave it with you, so that is where it will remain forever.

There is nothing I want more than you. When you are not here I have a burning, yearning need that will never stop until you come back. When you are here I still yearn for you, but when I can at least smell how close you are it's not quite so bad.

You amuse me in the every sense of the word. You make me laugh, you make me smile. You help me pass the time of eternity in happy and fun ways.

Nothing calms me like having you close, accept maybe feeling your hand in mine. Holding you close with your head on my chest is pretty calming too. I think my favorite thing though is when you run your fingers through my hair and massage my head when I'm stressed, that's really relaxing. It's so relaxing in fact that I relax too much and my jeans shrink!

Nothing comforts me like you do. Your love and passion and care for me simply make being me so much easier. You make every screw up and shortcoming okay, and sometimes even sexy. I am so soothed by you; I almost experience physical pain when you are not around.

I am so vulnerable because I have been hurt, abused and used. I have carefully opened my heart just enough to let you in, and I'm not sure I will ever be able to really let anyone else in.

I am worried I am going to screw up and not only mess up my life but everyone else's in this family, most especially Alice.

I am afraid I will never be the man you believe I am. I am afraid one day you will realize I am a monster and go away. I am afraid I might eat someone soon. I am afraid I'm going to hurt you one day. I am afraid I won't love you enough. I am afraid of being a bad husband to you. I am afraid that one day I will put you in danger because I'm a monster. I am afraid I really am a monster. I am afraid Carlisle will realize I don't belong here because I am a bad vampire and not a good one, and he'll make me leave, and I don't know how I will live without Alice. I am afraid the whole family is going to have to move because of me, again. I am afraid of losing you. I am afraid of pushing you away. I am afraid of something bad happening to you. I am afraid I won't be able to protect you when it does. I am afraid of being a bad man.

I feel everything in Alice's soul that is meant for me.

I am accepted for everything I am and everything I will be. I am loved for who I am and the vampire I am, not who I should be and certainly not for whom I'm not.

I make you smile and laugh and enjoy life. I make every part of your life entertaining, even the otherwise boring parts.

You are surprised that I have survived through 100 years of torture and still came out on this end as a loving, wonderful, caring man.

I calm you, even without my powers through simple touch and even simple looks. My smile warms your heart and my hand brushing against yours lets you know everything will be okay.

I feel like an open book to you, you can sense my every emotion even when I'm not broadcasting. You feel like you can tell me anything.

You never feel safer or more at home then when I wrap you up in one of my big hugs that pretty much makes you disappear as my body wraps around yours.

Everyday, you look forward to another day with me. Every part of being with me feels natural and perfect, like the way life is supposed to be.

No matter what I think, you feel that I try my hardest to be good and I only slip up when anyone else in the family would have done it if I hadn't jumped on it first.

You believe that I am the most courageous man in the world. You can feel it when you hold me. You know it is true because I'm still humane after everything I have been forced to endure.

You are determined to make me love myself. You are determined to make me see that I am loveable and deserving and way more than worthy of love. Damn it I am going to love myself because you say so… come hell or high water… even if it takes until the last moment of eternity.

You are grateful I love you even though it's been proven you are crazy. You are grateful that I don't care how clingy you can be because of my abandonment issues and just keep on loving you.

You are humbled by the pure love I have for you and the way I love you so deeply. You are humbled by the way I exalt you on a pedestal and worship at your feet every day of my existence.

You give me all your patience because you know that is what it is going to take. You know one day I will realize all my fears are way off base and that I am so much more than the man I believe I am. You know one day I will realize the man you see in me is nothing more than the many I am.

The way I look at you, the way I smell, the way I touch you, the way I taste, even the way my voice drawls out my southern roots all bring you pleasure when we're alone, and even when we're not.

You are proud of the way I have overcome so much. You are proud of how my self-control has grown so much since we met. You're proud of how strong I am. You're proud of how loving I am. You are proud to call me yours. You are proud of me for choosing on my own to walk away, no matter how scary and stressful it was.

You feel there is no way you could possibly not respect me when I have grown so much and learned so much about being loving and humane since the day I was changed. You respect me for the way I love and respect you and all women because 'my mama taught me right.' You respect for me for choosing the harder path and leaving, not once but twice. If you hadn't have wandered off on my own I never would have found you.

As much as you know I hate it you sympathize with my struggle to live our lifestyle, but you also know I don't just do it for you like everyone thinks. I do it because I know it is right and because I know it will make my life easier. You sympathize that this choice is harder for me than anyone else because of my past.

You trust me because I always keep my word, and I never betray confidences. You trust me because I am trustworthy. You trust me because for as much as I have been through I trust you, and that clearly shows that I want nothing more than your trust in return.

You understand that I am hard on myself, and this is just part of who I am. You understand that I have always been this way and always will. You understand that sometimes being loved hurts, but you also understand that there is nothing I need more than your love.

You are in wonder of the incredible way I love and care for you. You are awed by the way I protect you. When love is probably the hardest thing for me to show and accept, that fact that I do so readily with you takes your breath away.

You love me with the depth of every ocean in the world, compounded by ten. You love me with all the bouncy energy in your soul.

You need me to touch you, and caress you and love on you every chance I get. You need me to use my soft, gentle, loving hands to remind you how much I love and cherish you because although you remember sometimes your body forgets. You need my hugs and love to get your through every day of the rest of eternity.

You want me to touch on you, kiss on you and love on you every chance I get. You love how I use the southern term of "love on" to refer to making love because it's so damn hot and it makes you want me more.

You want to shield me, protect me, love me, and guide me so that you can always make sure I feel safe and secure in how my life is now – and will be for the rest of eternity.

I am the most powerful, strong, loving man in the world. I am the reason you do everything that could even potentially make me smile.

I may think I am ugly and scarred, but you see the adorable face and loving hands that are behind the scars. You see through them, and don't even notice them at all. You never did.

I smile up at her softly. She smiles lovingly back.

She sits down next to me and rests her head on my shoulder as my arm wraps around her.

Everything above is obviously from Jasper's POV but it is all in language used by Jasper to reference himself. Alice's thoughts are her own, but you are getting them through the filter of Jasper's mind. He was simply telling you what he was getting from Alice the best he could. HE IS NOT TELLING ALICE WHAT SHE FEELS!
