***Out On The Town***11

The morning sun filtered through the window, rainbows of color thrown around the room. He curled around me, fingers drifting through my hair, as I rested my head on his chest with a contented sigh. "What's on the agenda for today, darlin'?"

I squealed and sprang up, pulling him along with me, as I smirked. "Can we go shopping?! Pppllleeeaaassseee, oh please, pretty pretty pppllleeeaaassseee, Jazzy?!" He smiled and pulled me into his arms, his voice a low, husky murmur against my ear. "Whatever your heart desires."

"Reeeaaalllyyy?!" He nodded, brow quirked in amusement, and gripped my chin as I began rambling. I was in the middle of thanking him when his lips descended on mine, silencing me. "What a nice way of shutting me up."

~000~

Prancing around the room, I froze midstep as his arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me into his chest. "Do you know how hard I'm gonna have to fight to keep guys off you?!"

Smirking, I turned in his arms and ran a finger teasingly along his bare chest. "Awww, is my Jazzy getting possessive?" Next thing I know, my world is literally flipped upside down as he tossed me like a rag doll over his shoulder. And with a view like THAT, who could argue?!

"You. Are. Mine. I have every right to be territorial." Rolling my eyes, I flicked my hand against his backside, squealing in shock and surprise when he did the same. "Don't make me swat you again, Alice."

"Ooohhh so scary." Not one of my greatest comebacks...

~000~

I was back in his arms, my throat an inch from his elongated canines. "What was that, darlin'?"

I couldn't help but quietly giggle at his reaction. A husky growl rumbled in his chest as he tossed me onto the bed, quickly following after. "You are a VERY VERY vicious monster that I'm simply terrified of."

He lay over me, soft feminine skin against muscular, manly skin, his teeth softly nipping at the skin of my throat. "Much better!"

~000~

An hour later, we walked outside into the dim sunlight. Smiling happily, I twined our fingers and led him down the road, the various shops and booths calling my name. Aaahhh, shopping!

"Uuuhhh, darlin', don't we need money for shopping?" I giggled quietly and arched a brow at him; silly boy! "I'm prepared, Jazz. Believe me."

"You're prepared, are you, darlin'?" Nodding, I froze as his teeth nibbled at my lip sexily, a growl rumbling in his chest. "If we keep this up, Jazz, we'll never make it shopping!"

~Jasper~

Smiling against her, I took her hand as we walked through the crowded streets. I was surprised at the people at this time of day, mostly because the smell and sound of them, my prey, set me on edge.

Though thirsty, the only thing I focused on was the delicate woman beside me; MY Alice, my beautiful pixie, my darlin'.

"Are you ok, Jasper? You got quiet. Do you need to... hunt?" I could tell she wasn't used to the idea any more than I was. Placing a gentle hand on my arm, she stared up at me with her innocent doe eyes. "It's ok if you need to. Just say the word."

"Why are your eyes that color?" It was a question that had plagued me since I'd first seen them and I mutely wondered if it had anything to do with her current diet. "I have a both an answer and a solution for you, Jazz. I hunt animals... and, if you want, you could too... I mean, I could show you how or whatever, if you did... That's why my eyes are this color, the animal blood... I haven't had a human in about 40 years. And this way, you can hunt and not feel guilty about it later! I mean, their animals, they can't feel anything..."

Hhhmmm, she raised a good point. "Show me? Please." She nodded gently, a smile on her lips, as her emotions spiked to pure elation. "Tonight?"

Nodding, I twined our hands and lightly kissed her, loving her shudder. We began walking again, occasionally stopping at a shop that would catch her eye. ANIMALS?!

"I don't want to disappoint you, Alice. I'm tired of this, anyway; you don't know what it's like, to feel every little thing they feel as I sink my fangs into them, draining their blood." I might have continued were it not for her, my Alice. She looked up at me, eyes longing and full of concern, and put her finger to my lips. "No more, Jasper."

"You don't have to live like that anymore, or hunt humans ever again. You're safe, Jasper, I promise."

~000~

Rain fell gently, the wind tossing scents around and making me regret not hunting any sooner. Good god, she smelled good... I wanted her.

Bloodlust raged at my surface, warring within me; the vampire side of me wanted and needed blood, naturally and instinctually, whilst the human, conscientious other half wanted to please Alice and never see her in pain or suffering. But, oh god, did she smell good! I could just imagine it.

I'd walked up to her, the dazzled young clerk, and lean into her to ask if she'd assist me. She'd follow eagerly along on my heels, not knowing what awaited her. Catching her by surprise, I'd pull her against me so she couldn't struggle and, before she had time to scream, I'd sink my fangs deep into her. And disappoint Alice, which I swore never to do. Maybe even SCARE Alice, also never gonna happen.

Freezing in her tracks, Alice stared off in the distance, her eyes glassy and unfocused. She wasn't moving or anything, simply frozen and staring, her hand still tight around mine. Curious and a bit scared, I watched her for a minute more before she snapped back to reality as quickly as she'd left it. What the hell?!

Then, she wrapped her arms around me and crushed me against her, lips hard and demanding, urgent and swift against mine. Clutching her to me, I caught wind of her emotions, sadness and longing and confusion. My lips still firm on hers, I easily scooped her into my chest as her legs wound around me, nimble fingers tangled in my hair. It's a good thing we didn't breathe because I could kiss this woman all day!

Pulling away, I rested against her as our erratic breath mingled, twining and wrapping around each other. She smiled suggestively, still tight around me, as I leaned into her and slowly trailed my nose up the column of her throat. Chuckling, I teasingly nipped and nibbled at the base of her throat as she whimpered softly with sounds of desire, her head falling slack. "You have some explaining to do, darlin'." The strange thing was, when she pulled out of my arms, my thirst was nearly gone, merely a kindle of fire in my throat. Hhhmmm...

~000~

"I can see the future, Jasper." She held her breath, waiting for a reaction out of me, as I raised a curious brow. "That's how I knew you, and us, and everything."

"You were the first thing I saw when I woke up, Jasper. And, having you in a life of darkness and not remembering, was literally the light at the end of tunnel. Jasper, you saved me, in more ways than one."

I was breathless at her words. I was the first thing she'd seen?!

"I'm not totally sure how it works, though... I just know that it's mostly when I focus on a certain object or person and keep track of its decisions. But when a persons's decision changes, so does the vision."

I gulped inwardly, guilty and wary of her reprimanding me. Had she seen me, about to take the life of an innocent young girl? "So, you saw... me." It wasn't a question anymore as she nodded gently and put her hand against my chest.

"Well, there were a few paths you could've chosen... You could've given in and... well you know the rest... Or, you could've chosen to somehow push through your instincts and wants and not disappointed me... But I didn't want either, really, so I had to act on what I saw. I'm sorry, Jasper."

"Don't you apologize to me, Alice!" My voice was a low growl as I pulled her flush against me, her tight little body fitting right with mine like it was meant to be there. Quietly gasping, she arched a brow but merely continued browsing listlessly through the racks of clothes. "You stopped me from taking an innocent life, Alice. There is nothing wrong with that!"

Nodding, she brushed past me to the other side of the rack, a quiet hum under her breath. Stalking slowly after her, I swatted her sexy little ass before pulling her back into my arms, my teeth at her throat busily nipping and nibbling. "I didn't mind the method of distraction, either."

~Alice~

My poor Jasper! He felt so bad, so guilty, for even thinking of hurting that girl. I couldn't wait for tonight; his sufferings would end, he would put aside all of his masochism, and we'd be one step closer to the Cullen's.

Lightly kissing him, I giggled as he snatched the various clothes I'd be buying and walked to the front desk to pay. What the gentleman!

"I'll foot the bill, darlin'." Raising a brow, I smirked and wrapped my arms loosely around his torso and hugged him to me, feeling the clerk's jealousy in waves. He's MINE!

As if to further prove the point, he took my hand and backed me over the counter with a knowing smirk, kissing me long and hard. "That'll be $50.14 please." Way to ruin a moment!

Leisurely running my finger along his chest as he paid, I tucked my hand into his back pocket as he grabbed my bags. "Ready, darlin?"

Nodding, I kissed him lightly once again before flashing a smirk over my shoulder at the enraged young girl. "PAWS OFF!"

Chuckling huskily, he pulled me into him with a raised brow. "Jealous much, darlin'?" Scoffing, I pulled him to my level and ravished his lips, fingers deep in his hair. "So what if I am?!"

~000~

I was browsing the various little stores down the streets when I had a vision. It was Jasper and he had a guitar, fingers strumming leisurely over the strings as his smooth voice chased shivers over me. Then, I snapped back to reality with the certainty that I was getting him that guitar!

Marching across the street all business, I walked into the pawn shop and almost regretted it. The manager was fat, and bald, had chains, and he was flirting with me. Oh well! My Jasper is worth it!

"I need an acoustic guitar for my, uumm, boyfriend." Stumbling over my words, I flashed a small smile as the man winked and stood up with a grunt. Boyfriend didn't sound right in the least... But what could I say when I wasn't even sure?!

The one from the vision, a Gibson LG-1, was the exact one that caught my eye and the exact one that I bought and paid for in that store. "My pleasure, Miss. Come again!"

Of course you want me to come back, you slimy disgusting man! Smiling tightly, I grabbed the guitar case and was gone before he could say anything else. Good grief, what does a woman have to do around here to find a nice, respectable gentleman?! Oh, yeah... She has to wait a whole 27, almost 30 years, for him, that's what!

Somewhat satisfied, I began my walk back to the hotel where we said we'd meet again. Oh, how I miss you already, my Jasper!

I wanted to see Sally again but something stopped me... Right now, alone and without Jasper, wasn't the time. Something was about to happen, something BIG.

I wanted to be surprised so I fought against the vision that rose in front of me, taunting and begging to be seen. It was Jasper, I was sure. I'd quickly become attuned to him, able to see but choosing more often than not to. I'd have forever with him, after all... The man could use some privacy!

~000~

He was sitting rigid with worry in the lobby when I arrived, eyes flashing possessively as he quickly cleared the space between us and pulled me into his arms. "Alice!"

He sighed deeply, his nose following a trail of fire along my throat as he breathed me in. Giggling, I pulled away and held him at arms' length, my eyes travelling over his frame. Yep, he more than definitely was a looker!

Then, his eyes caught sight of the guitar case. Raising a brow, he chuckled under his breath, eyes questioning, as he took my hand and nodded curtly to Diana before walking us to our room. "It's for you, Jasper.

"You didn't have to get me any thin, Alice... Thank you though." His voice was soft as he looked down at me, eyes slowly trailing over my face. "You were gonna end up with it either way, Jasper. I just wanted to speed along the process!"

Sitting at the edge of the bed, he took the case from me and sat it in his lap before pulling me into his arms. "I miss you, darlin', like crazy. Why'd you suggest we split ways?!"

Giggling quietly, I ran my fingers over his chest and inhaled, his scent of leather and Old Spice clouding over me. "I just thought that it'd be good for us to have our own adventures for the day... Was it a bad idea?! I mean, you didn't go on a killing spree through the city so it must not have been too bad. Even as much as I missed you."

"True... I DID have a successful shopping trip, though... But I still missed you, Alice." Then, his lips met mine as I folded myself in his lap, hungry and desperate and longing. I knew I missed him for more reasons than one!

Pulling away with a quiet giggle, I slid onto the bed and gestured to the case. Finally seeing it, he raised a brow before flicking it open. "It's beautiful, Alice! Thank you."

Then, I was in his bone crushing embrace, squished quite comfortably into his chest. "Don't just sit there! Play something for me, cowboy!"

~000~

By the time he retired the guitar back to its case, darkness had fallen. Not forgetting my promise, I grabbed his hand and smoothed circles along his palm. "Are you sure?"

He flashed a wry smile before claiming my lips, his body solid and hard and man against mine. "Darlin', the only thing I've ever been MORE sure of is you, us."

"Then why isn't your sexy ass outside hunting a mountain cat?! LET'S GO!" With that, and one final kiss, we were gone.

~000~

The night air was cool, a gentle breeze blowing scents over us. "It's not really something I can teach you, Jasper. I mean, not really... I'll teach you how to track and stuff of course... But when it comes down to it, it's pure, carnal instinct."

He nodded, keen eyes searching the darkness, and took my hand. "I assume my prey isn't just gonna waltz up like a human would, right?! So, how does this work exactly?!"

Giggling quietly, I pressed my lips to his in the most effective way I know of shutting him up. "It'll be ok, Jazz. I promise. I wouldn't promise something if I knew it was impossible."

"Word of advice for the future, my Alice. Don't tell me I can't or won't do something. I'll only try that much harder to prove you wrong."

"Close your eyes and let the scents of your prey fill you. What do you smell?" He growled huskily, teeth at my throat teasing. "Blood."

Then, he was gone, a mere blur against the night. Giggling, I was after him, hot on his heels. He might've been stronger, but I was faster!

~000~

The cat was perched in a tree, eyes yellow and fiery, hissing madly down at us. My eyes nearly rolled to the back of my head as he growled back, lustful and predatory. I wanted him! "Alice," he growled out in the same lustful, predatory way, "do you know how hard you're making it to concentrate right now?!"

Then, the cat pounced. Hitting the ground, it swiped viciously out at him. Grinning, he took a step back, the cat mirroring his movements, as they began dancing. One step forward, two steps backward.

"Here, kitty, kitty! Come and get me big boy!" Then, with one final growl, he launched himself across the clearing and pinned the cat beneath him.

It was over within mere seconds, his fangs deep at the throat of his prey. Satisfied, I wandered closer with a smirk as his chest reverberated with a territorial growl. I love a man who gets a little rough!

"I think the only think I need to teach you at this point is how to hunt and NOT lose all your clothes."

Blonde waves disheveled, shirt torn beyond repair much to my appreciation, and lips stained with the first of many animals, he kissed me hard and needing and lustfully.

Pulling away after an eternity, he flashed a smirk and threw his shirt off his shoulders, wading into the river to rinse off.

Sighing contentedly, he plopped onto the bank beside me, pillowing his head against my stomach. Leisurely drifting his fingers over my face, his eyes found mine, a fire and passion that I'd never known burning at their core.

"Miss Alice, I've never been happier in my entire life or existence than here with you these past days. You saved me in that cafe when you offered your hand to me. Continue to save me for all of eternity with our future in your eyes?" What?!

"Marry me, Alice." It definitely was not a request.
