Lies, Rumors and Tiffany's.

We were boarded onto the plane first, being first class passengers and all. I sat next to Jasper, Bella and Maggie sat behind us and Seth sat across the aisle with Sam, he's the bodyguard the label assigned us. Bella reminded Jazz and I that the plane was considered 'in public' when he tried to kiss me, much to his chagrin.

The flight was a long one…two different planes and a four hour layover later, we finally arrived at JFK at six in the morning. Thankfully, I had slept a lot on the plane and so had the rest of our party but still, we looked tired as we walked into the airport terminal where we were greeted by the flashbulbs of paparazzi cameras. Nice.

We were taken by limo to the St. Regis Hotel, making me squeal in delight. I always dreamed of staying here and now I was finally going to get my chance. The label put us up in style. Bella had her own separate room and we got the Bottega Veneta Suite, which was stunning. Jasper and I stayed in one of the rooms and Seth, after swearing on his life to keep his hands to himself, stayed with Maggie in the second room as it had two beds and Sam planned on sleeping in the living area.

After we settled into our rooms and unpacked, we decided it would be best to take showers before we went on our tour of Ellis Island. Jasper and I closed the double doors to our room and headed for the shower…we were planning to conserve water.

The minute we got to the bathroom his hands were on me, roughly pulling the clothing from my body as I stripped him of his clothes too. My hands traveled his chiseled chest and stomach as his did the same to me. Two weeks since we last had sex, judging by his arousal, it had been too long for him as well.

Before we could kiss each other and wind up fucking on the floor, I quickly stepped into the shower and turned it on, drenching myself under the spray. I grabbed my bottle of body wash and started to scrub. The foam and scratchiness of the loofa felt great against my skin. I rinsed myself off and opened my eyes to see Jasper still standing there staring at me, raging stiffy and all.

"You gonna get in or just jack off looking at me?" I asked in a cocky voice. He got in and smirked at me, the look on his face clearly saying 'did you really just say that?' I smirked smugly back. 'Why, yes I did.'

I poured some of his shower gel into the palm of my hand and gently rubbed it on him, my hands sliding easily over his body. Our eyes locked while I deftly moved my fingers around him and tugged. "Fuck," he whispered huskily. Smirking as I let him go, he stepped under the stream to rinse off. It was my turn to watch as the water flowed down his body making him glisten.

I cocked my head and let my eyes scan back up to meet his beautiful eyes. 'You like?' His smug face said and I put my hands on his shoulders pulling myself up, trying to reach his lips so I could kiss him. His face turned down to me and his lips gently brushed mine. How I love to kiss him. His hand cupped my cheek and he deepened the kiss, gently massaging my tongue with his. My hands reached up and tangled themselves into his hair, pulling him closer as he picked me up off the ground and pressed me against the wall of the shower, his rock hard erection pressed against my lower stomach.

He moved his mouth to my neck, trailing warm, wet kisses down to my collarbone sucking and nipping with his teeth, his eyes locked on mine the entire time. I watched as the color of his eyes changed from blue green to a dark green. He wanted me, I knew it. I smiled at him seductively as I purred, "Jasper, fuck me."

With that he crushed my lips with his; forcing his tongue into my mouth at the same moment he thrust into me, growling slightly as he did so. I reached up and grabbed the lip of the shower stall to help support myself as his lips traveled my body and his hands pinned my hips against the wall, thrusting into me hard and fast, it felt incredible. I moaned low, remembering where we were, as he kissed his way to my ear. His lips made my entire body tingle.

"Fuck, I love to fuck you." He growled, making me moan a little louder as his thrusts got even more powerful. I locked my ankles behind his lower back, pulling him deeper into me at a different angle. "Shit," he panted, resting his head into the crook of my neck. I squeezed my eyes shut concentrating on not moaning out loud, my arms and legs were trembling from how close I was.

I felt his mouth warm and wet meet my nipple, he took it between his lips, sucking roughly, flicking the hardened nipple with his tongue. I couldn't help myself, I moaned as he moved to the other side, squeezing my ass with his hands and pulling me again into a different position finally pushing me over the edge. I buried my face into his neck to muffle the sounds that escaped my lips as he rode out his own release a few moments later.

We stayed still for a moment, his chin on my shoulder and my face buried in neck as we worked to catch our breath. After he let me down I washed my hair and got out of the shower, wrapping myself in a towel. I watched him as he got out and toweled off too.

We went to the bedroom and looked through our clothes hanging in our closet. Bella insisted we have them organized and arranged by day and what we were doing, so being the good band people we are, we cooperated. I pulled out the hanger holding my black skinny jeans and a white tee with black stars on it and put them on. After I finished dressing I looked at Jasper, his black clothes fit him snugly and showed every muscle flawlessly. I suddenly felt very insignificant next to him.

I dropped my gaze to the floor as he closed the distance between us, wrapping one arm around me and tilting my head up to look at him. Gently…slowly he brought his lips to meet mine, lightly brushing against them before taking my bottom lip and sucking gently on it as I sucked on his upper lip, then we traded. I reached up and cupped his cheek as he did the same, pulling each other closer together. Before we could go any farther and most likely make up for lost time in the nice plush looking bed, he broke away and looked into my eyes.

"No matter what, I'm yours." His eyes said he was being honest.

"And I'm yours." I placed my hand on his chest over his heart.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our Ellis Island tour wasn't as exciting as everyone had made it out to be. I actually sat back with Seth and we played an odd drinking game, a drink for every time the tour guide said 'um'. Let's just say we went through three bottles of water each and really needed to find the bathroom by the end of it all. Jasper, of course, found it hilarious.

Then we had time for lunch at a bistro where we met up with Bella, her assistant Amber and a few others from the label so we could go over what we were doing next, 'The highly anticipated MTV interview'. Truthfully, I had butterflies in my stomach and I think Jasper somehow picked up on it because under the table, hidden by the tablecloth he held my hand and rubbed soothing circles into the back of my hand. I smiled at him gratefully.

The entire limo ride to the MTV office building I held hands with Jasper, happy to have some sort of contact with him before I potentially made an ass out of myself on TV. He gave me the briefest peck before we got out of the car and he let go of my hand.

Once in the building, we were escorted to a small gray room with a couch and chair facing each other and there was a camera next to the chair. Bella had a great idea to throw people off me and Jasper. Curiosity seemed to be snow-balling after the sitting on his lap during an interview incident even though Maggie and Seth tried to cover for us.

Seth sat in the middle of the couch, Jazz to his left and Maggie to the right. I sat in Seth's lap, leaning against Jazz a little and my feet up in Maggie's lap. Seth looked at Jazz nervously during this whole set up. Jasper looked forward, as if he was oblivious to us. One arm resting along the back of the couch and the other on the armrest. I felt the urge to pinch his ass, so he'd pay attention to me, and I cuddled up to Seth just to see if Jasper would get jealous at all.

As the guy set up to interview us, making sure we had everything that was requested, bottles of water and his notes, I saw Jasper lean his head ever so casually on the back of the sofa. He scooted closer to Seth's ear before whispering, "Seriously kid, keep your hands where I can see them at all times." I bit my lip to stifle the giggle as Seth moved his hand up from my lower back to my shoulders.

Finally the interviewer seemed ready for us, he introduced himself, Smitty was his name, and he turned the camera on. Nodding to us to let us know it was game time.

"So I know the band, Eclipse, is from the Seattle area, but Jasper man, there's no way in hell you're from the Pacific Area. Where are you all from?" I chuckled a little as Jasper answered first.

"Fort Stockton, Texas."

Smitty looked at me expecting an answer. "Born in Biloxi, Mississippi, raised in Forks, Washington."

He turned his head to look at Seth who said, "La Push, Washington."

"Boulder, Colorado." Maggie answered quickly after Seth.

Without missing a beat Smitty continued, "How did the band come up with the name Eclipse?" Everyone pointed to Jasper, Seth saying how it was Jasper who just seemed to spit it out.

"It seemed to fit." Jasper shrugged his response.

"Okay so we know that you have a meaning behind the name, but it isn't the astrological meaning. But if you were to choose either a Lunar or Solar Eclipse which would you chose?"

This time Seth was the first one to respond. "Solar, cause that's just freaky," he laughed.

I chuckled along with him, "I agree with Seth." Maggie shrugged indifferently.

Jasper gave us all a funny look. "See, total lunar eclipses are better because then you have the sun, earth and moon completely aligned with one another." He shrugged then and I felt stupid sitting next to him, I think Seth did as well with the look he gave me. "I would just prefer the lunar eclipse, I guess."

"Who are some of your musical influences?"

Seth answered first again. "Uh, I like Dave Grohl when he was in Nirvana, and Travis Barker from Blink – 182 is pretty awesome."

Maggie offered hers next, "Nancy Wilson-Heart, Tracy Chapman, Melissa Ethridge and Bonnie Raitt." She chuckled a little; we all knew Jazz would give her shit later.

Jasper answered next, "The Beatles, AC/DC," I could hear him smirk. Jackass. "And Eric Clapton."

"Um… well, Gwen Stefani, Flyleaf, Evanescence, Christina Aguilera, the Veronicas, a bunch of, as the guys call them, chick bands." I rolled my eyes as I remembered Jasper's criticism of my taste in music.

"Is this your first time in NYC? And if so, what to do hope to see while here?"

I shook my head as I said, "Nope. Been here a few times actually," I smiled politely as everyone else answered. Seth answered next.

"Yep, I promised my girlfriend I would see lady liberty." I laughed with him, remembering Kelci's next request. "She also said I had to get a picture of me posing as a bum." Even Smitty laughed at that.

"First time here. I'm really open as to what we see here, the city is so big I have no clue where to start." Jasper laughed at his own response making the rest of us laugh as well.

Maggie answered last. "Um, actually it is. I was hoping to go to a Broadway show; I know Alice," she tapped my foot, making me look at her, "said she'd go with me." Then she shrugged, "maybe we can culture the boys some." She looked at me in question and wrinkled her nose as I did the same before we both said, "Nah." Making the guys protest and everyone laugh.

"Who do you wish you could collaborate with and why?" Smitty asked when he had regained his composure.

"Avenged Sevenfold, to piss J off." Seth joked, shoving Jasper with his hand. Jazz just chuckled while shaking his head. He answered next.

"Eric Clapton, I think it would be cool to jam with him."

"I know he's dead now, but Johnny Cash." Maggie responded with a small smile.

"30 seconds to Mars! That would make my friend's day." I giggled after I said it, remembering Bella's full out crush on Jared Leto. I'll admit I also had a slight one too, from when he was on My So-Called-Life, which I only know about thanks to the massive crush Ed had on Clair Danes for awhile.

"What's the band's favorite song to play live?"

Seth and Jasper answered at once, "Spin." Then Seth laughed.

"Sorry man, I wrote the beat for that like two years ago and then I meet J and now well dude, it's on a record!" Seth added enthusiastically.

"Lace," Maggie nodded her head as if agreeing with herself. "It has a mild beat and it's mellow. I really like the groove with that one." I smiled at the fact that we were all going to pick songs Jazz wrote.

"Time." I smiled and bit my lip, I never needed Jasper to tell me what that song was about, I already knew. "It's a happy song, but bittersweet, the melody is quite upbeat and you can really rock to it, you know?" Jasper coughed a little and I turned to look at him, his face was slightly pink. He was blushing, I smiled at him.

"What was it like the first time you heard one of your songs on the radio?"

I answered this one first. "I jumped and clapped and hugged my boyfriend at the time." Remembering what Bella had told me to say about my relationship status.

"I was acting like Alice and I hugged her and then my husband. It was a very surreal moment though." Maggie added to my statement.

"I think I went deaf." Seth said in a sad tone that made Jazz laugh.

"She did scream pretty loud didn't she?" Jazz mused.

"Hell yeah, Dude who knew?" Seth turned his head to look at Jazz now who smirked at him.

"That you were dating a screamer? Or that she was a fan girl?" Seth scowled before smacking his arm to which Jazz just laughed again. I noticed Jazz had never answered the question of what he did. Apparently Smitty overlooked it.

"If you weren't a musician what would you be?"

Jazz answered this one first. "Probably a Rancher." He said with a shrug.

"Still working at the record store," Seth answered honestly, laughing all the while.

"A photographer," I answered, smiling a little.

"President." Maggie answered nonchalantly, making us laugh.

"Now it's been said that one of the demos you guys cut was an Evanescence song. Do you guys do that live? And how do the fans react to it?"

"We did it for the private show in Seattle and my ears rang from how loud the fans were screaming, again another surreal moment." Everyone nodded agreeing with my statement.

"Okay time for a little game. What color would you say represents each of your band mates? Food? Movie?"

Maggie answered first this time. "Alice's color is baby blue; Food is coconut cream pie and movie is Sweet Home Alabama. Seth's color is orange; Food is Slim Jims and movie is The Bodyguard. Jasper's color is black; Food is Red Vines and his movie is Gone with the Wind." She laughed as she finished.

"Okay Colors; Maggie is Red cause of her hair, Alice is pink cause she's girly," Seth stuck his tongue out at me and I returned it. "And Jazz is black… cause he hides shit well. Food no clue and movies I know for Jasper it's totally Star Wars… dude seriously said at the airport…" He did a good impression of sleepy Jasper's accent and made me grin, "'you will open' and waved his hand at the automatic door." Seth could hardly breathe he was laughing so hard.

"Hey in my defense I was tired!" Jasper yelled at him irritated, making Seth roll his eyes. "Okay so I'm gonna say color, food and movie for Maggie, a light blue, salad and The Color of Money; Seth, hot pink," we all laughed, "hot dogs, and Dances with Wolves." I could hear the smirk in his voice.

"Oh ha-ha Native American joke," Seth glared at Jasper making Jasper laugh and shake his head.

"No we just all know how much you love Kevin Costner. Last Alice, red, chicken fingers, and The Princess Bride." I smiled at that.

"Hmm, okay. Maggie, color is purple, food is onion rings," She grinned at me with that one, "and movie is 'Conspiracy Theory'." That made her laugh as Seth looked at me confused. "Seth, color is pink, because it looks good on him." He glared at me with that one and I laughed. "Just kidding probably yellow, food is Tabasco Sauce, and movie is The Postman." Everyone in the band was really laughing with that last one. "Okay and last, but not least, Jasper; Color is aqua blue. Food is steak, and movie is Monty Python." I finished, smiling at Smitty. He smiled knowingly back. What the fuck was that for?

"Finally, there have been some interesting pictures of Jasper and Alice, which of course lead to some very interesting claims. Here's your chance to clear the air. Are you dating? And if so are you truly dating each other?" I gaped at him for a moment, I really hadn't expected that.

"Um, no I'm currently not dating anyone. I seriously don't have any time to maintain anything beyond a friendship with anyone." I shrugged.

Jasper laughed before adding his own comment. "I am also currently single; my girlfriend didn't like me admitting to having a crush on Alice."

I blushed a little before finishing, "I think because we spend a lot of time together and we're so close, people want us to be together. Not saying that Jasper here isn't good looking, I mean I would be blind if I said that, just yeah, we can't because I'd rather not ruin the great friendship we have."

I looked at Jasper to see if he had anything to add, he was biting his lip, thinking. "Yeah, like she said, we're really good friends," he laughed and shook his head at himself before finishing, "I also think my family would disown me if we did date, since I have a track record of being an ass." I smiled at him a little; he smiled back, our eyes meeting. We're in this together.

Smitty turned off the camera and thanked us, talking to us about various things and places to visit while we were out here. We thanked him for the advice and watched him go, only to see Bella scowling at Jasper and me.

Fuck, what did we do now?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had another interview on a radio talk show and then our day was pretty much done, we decided to go out to dinner together. We ended up being followed by the Paparazzi and having to sign autographs, but it was okay. I was kind of taken aback when a teen aged boy handed me my photo from the Maxim issue I was in, I signed it and then looked at Jazz who smirked as if that was the funniest thing he had ever seen.

Once inside the restaurant several people asked if they could take our picture, we agreed and eventually the manager told them to leave us alone. Then we ate and joked and then took a walk around Times Square, taking pictures of Seth looking like a bum for Kelci. Jasper and I did a slight no-no by standing in the center of Times Square to get our picture taken together, our arms warms around each other and hugging.

Once we got back to the hotel, Bella was waiting for Jasper and me. She sent Maggie and Seth to the suite and ushered us into her room then she turned to us with her arms crossed. Yep. We were in trouble.

"So, care to explain what that look was during MTV?"

Jasper and I looked at each other, both hoping the other would be the one willing to comment. He shrugged at me, so I guess it would be me answering that. "I just looked at him, like you know, confirming we were friends?" Smiling at my half-assed attempt at an answer.

Bella shook her head at me. "No Alice. That was definitely a 'more than friends look'," she sighed, "listen there's a reason why we are trying to keep things quiet about your relationship. I understand you guys love... to be together. Just please, for the sake of everyone involved, keep the looks of adoration and eye fucking to a minimum. And Jasper Thomas! 'My girl friend didn't like me admitting to my crush on Alice', good way to stir the pot dipshit."

I had to bite my lower lip to keep from laughing out loud. "I know Bella. I'm sorry, but uh…you know, it's getting the band attention." I shrugged. Bella laughed and shook her head at me.

"I don't blame you Alice, I blame him." She used her index finger to firmly poke Jasper in the chest.

"Chill cuz, like Alice said it's getting us press. And the look you speak of was not intentional. In case you didn't notice, I didn't make eye contact with her until that moment." He glared at Bella a little and she raised an eyebrow at him. I tried to diffuse the situation.

"Um…" I smiled at Bella, hoping she would do something for me. "I was thinking about going to dinner with just Jazz. I dunno if it'd be possible, we just don't have a lot of alone time…" I trailed off chewing my bottom lip.

She returned my smile, always a good sign. "That can be arranged." That sentence made me grin ear to ear. I probably looked like an idiot.

"Awesome." I hugged myself to Jasper's side. Happy that somehow I would be able to spend time with him.

"Thanks Bells." Jasper said happily before smiling down at me.

"Yep, Amber and I will get on that. Just please be more careful next time. I'm gonna have to get Amber a higher pay grade at this point." She shook her head and gestured that it was okay for us to leave her room. We did and walked to our suite. Seth was on the couch playing a video game and it sounded like Maggie was taking a bath. Well, it didn't seem like anyone needed us out here so I looked up at him and smiled wickedly.

"Time for good girls and boys to go to bed?"

He lifted me up and was holding me bridal style. Making me squeak in excitement and bite my lip. "I thought we established that I am not a good boy?"

"No, I thought you were a very good boy." I said suggestively.

"Nope, I've been a very bad boy... I think you need to punish me." He smirked at me before running his lips along my neck, gently nipping, kissing and licking the flesh, making me moan out loud enough to catch Seth's attention.

"Room, now!" Seth yelled and pointed to our door, without even looking up from his video game.

"Yes Sir!" And I saluted from Jaspers arms with a giggle.

"If you insist," Jasper whispered huskily in my ear before running us into our room and shutting the door with his foot.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last night, while Jasper was fucking me I figured something out. He was doing everything in his power to make me scream…and I do mean EVERYTHING. I have no idea why he would want to do that while we are at a hotel and our band mates are literally only a room away, but he was. Eventually I was able to wear him out and he passed out.

Actually, we both passed out…naked. Which wasn't a problem last night, but this morning I found myself still pinned partially under Jasper. His arm, leg and a bit of torso had me trapped and someone was knocking on the door. Shit.

I heard a growl escape Jasper's throat. "Go away!" He barked as he pulled me even closer to him, burying his face in my hair. I bit my lower lip to keep myself from grinning like a fool.

"I don't care what you are doing J.T., you have stuff to do today. You have two separate interviews, you all have to make appearances and then Amber and I arranged for your dinner tonight. I have to discuss that with the two of you, so get up. I'll give you a half hour to shower and get dressed before I just walk in there."

He moved his face from my hair to yell, "No!" at the locked door and then he returned to his previous position.

"Jasper Thomas!" Bella yelled angrily through the door. "Do not make me call Aunt Sammie!" With that Jasper bolted out of bed.

"I'm up!" He growled back at her. I could have sworn I heard her huff before walking away from the door.

After our shower we got dressed, another almost all black outfit for me, all black for Jasper, we were doing each city with a theme, and New York was black. Once we were comfortable we went out to the living area and had breakfast while Bella and Amber laid out our schedule for the day. Seth and I were doing a radio show while Jasper and Maggie did some publicity stuff. Then Maggie and I were going shopping and signing autographs while Jasper and Seth did another show.

After that, Maggie and Seth would meet up for dinner at one place as Jasper and I met up for dinner at 'One if by Land'. One of those places you go to when you want to propose, that's how romantic it is. If I loved Bella before I loved her even more now. Seth and Maggie going to a restaurant together, of course was to cover for us, which was nice of them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After my exhausting morning of fielding questions from girls wanting to know how Jasper is in bed and men asking me on dates on the radio show, we all went to lunch together. We chatted about our day's activities and about the new Strat Jasper picked up.

Then we switched things around and Maggie and I went shopping and the next thing I knew, we were signing autographs. It was pretty cool to be recognized and have people wanting to take pictures with you and what not.

Maggie and I also bought a few things. Our first stop was Agent Provocateur, seriously sexy underwear. We both bought a bunch of stuff and then we shopped for dresses to wear to dinner that night. The selling point on the little black dress I bought was when Maggie told me I probably wouldn't make it through dinner if I wore it around Jazz. My goal in life.

Then we walked into Tiffany's, I had never been to one before. I wandered around looking for jewelry when I spotted it, a bracelet with a lock and key. The key was separate and I bought a chain for it. I smirked at my purchase, I planned on giving Jasper the key tonight. How very Sid and Nancy of me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got to the restaurant and was escorted to our private table by the host. Jasper was already there, looking completely fuckable in his Armani suit and blue striped button up with a few buttons at the top undone. Dressy, but still my casual Jasper and it made me want to take him into the bathroom.

He stood up and helped me out of my wool trench coat, his fingers sliding against my bare arms and turning me on instantly. Our eyes met and remembering that even in this private corner, we were still 'in public', we both sat down and as soon as the waiter came around we ordered iced tea, then our food. Our eyes stayed locked until we were sure no one was going to over-hear our conversation, but we spoke quietly anyway.

I watched his eyes flicker around the restaurant before he moved his mouth to my ear. "You look absolutely stunning."

I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks. "Thank you. You don't look half bad yourself." I whispered back quietly.

"Yeah, see I clean up nicely." He chuckled. I couldn't help but smile at that.

"You really do, but uh... I already know what you look like freshly showered." I felt like smacking myself with how suggestive that sounded when it came out.

"True," he smirked, "but this is a special occasion, requiring me to look like a grown up."

I bit my lip to keep from smiling. "And what special occasion would that be?"

"Well, let's see…there's you," he brushed his hand against mine, trying to be inconspicuous and making me wish we could just hold hands. "And me. And I feel we need to make something official of ourselves."

I brushed his arm with my finger tip leaving gooseflesh in its wake, making me smile. "And by official, you mean?"

"Well, I uh…was wondering if you wanted to officially be my girl." He gave me a crooked smiled, looking down at the table bashfully and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand.

I had to bite my lip to stop from showing the huge grin that was creeping onto my face. "Officially your girl huh? Would that make you my guy? You know," I pointed to myself, picking on him some for his choice of words. "Mine."

He rolled his eyes at me. "What, do you want me to completely six grader on you and ask you to be my girlfriend? Yes…I mean as in, I would be yours. But you should know. I'm already yours." He rubbed the back of his hand against my arm, making me tingle at his touch.

"Yes, I would love to be your 'girl'." I grinned at him as I rubbed my foot against his calf.

He bit his lip and gave me an undeniably sexy look. "Good. So, how was your day?"

"Good, except I got asked out by a guy who sounded like Larry the Cable guy and then asked by some girl, who sounded like she was 12, if you were good in bed. But shopping was fun." I smiled as I pushed my foot up higher and watched as he started to play with his fork and shake his head.

"I'm sorry baby... this all kinds of weird huh?"

I nodded, "I wish we could just be, you know, in the open with it. But I mean I guess it's a good thing because at least people aren't speculating on whether or not I'm pregnant just because I'm bloated."

He gave me a sarcastic eyebrow. "Oh yes, because pregnancy is much better than being gay." He shook his head.

"Well in essence, when they say you're pregnant they are really calling you fat. Gay guys can be hot. I think Brandon is way hot."

Jasper started to shake his head while laughing so hard he was clutching his side. "I honestly don't know whether to say thank you or be jealous." After a few minutes he recovered. "And even if you were pregnant, you'd still be beautiful Ali." His face was sincere.

I blushed and faced the table looking at him a little through my lashes. "Thanks Jazz. If it makes you feel any better I doubt anyone believes you're gay."

"Really, then the lady who sold me this," and he pulled a small, black velvet box out of his pocket… I held my breath for a moment staring at it…"must have been joking when she said, 'I never knew you had a lady friend, I thought that Seth kid was dating you'." He bit his bottom lip, trying to hold in his laughter, but his shoulders shook.

I released my held breath and shook my head at that. "Oh God. I swear... you have to be dating someone from the band huh?" I shook my head, "poor Seth, that makes him gay too."

"And I don't think us making fun of his pink wrist-band and his love for Kevin helped any." He laughed, still holding the box in his hand.

"Is that for me?" I asked inclining my head at the box. He bit his lip and nodded while handing it to me. I opened it to reveal a beautiful pendant necklace, it had two amethysts and an aquamarine stones in it. "Oh Jazz, it's beautiful." I gasped and looked at him. "Thank you." I almost kissed him but then remembered where we were, "I wish I could kiss you right now."

He licked his bottom lip a little and moved closer to me. "I know the feeling Ali. So you really like it?"

I nodded, "I do. It's beautiful. I got something for you too," I blushed a little remembering all I got for him, "well I got a few things for you but only one can be opened right now."

"Baby you didn't have to…" He started protesting, then what I said dawned on him and his eyes went wide. "Wait, only one can be opened now?" I smirked at him as I ran my foot farther up his leg and leaned to get the box from my purse. I heard his breathing catch as I ran my foot along his obviously engorged cock, the feeling seriously making me squirm in my seat. When I was satisfied I had teased him enough I righted myself and showed him the Tiffany's box. He smirked at me seductively.

"Aren't I supposed to buy you things from there?"

I blushed a little at the thought of what most guys buy there. "It's not what you think it is...um it's kind of a joint gift but yeah, open it." He shrugged a little and took the box, opening it and biting his lip while smiling at the contents. I held up my wrist to show him how it was a joint gift. "It unlocks mine…" Well that's lame Alice, I chewed my lip anxiously waiting for him to say something about the gift.

"I love it Ali." I grinned as his eyes darted around us and he leaned over and gave me a peck on the cheek. "Thank you baby."

"It's kinda Sid and Nancy, but I thought it was fucking cool too. I dunno, very rock and roll?" I shrugged and laughed at my stupidity. He smiled at me.

"I think it's very us." He took my hand under the table then and started to fidget with the bracelet making me remember that my foot was still rubbing against his erection. I pulled my foot down and glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to us before kissing him softy and quickly on the lips.

"So uh... do you want to put your necklace on?"

"You wanna put it on me?" I cocked my head at him.

He rolled his eyes at me. "No, I'm gonna make you do it yourself. Come here." I scooted closer and turned around briefly as he draped the necklace around my neck, connected it in the back and then placed a warm, wet kiss on the back of my neck, my entire body responded to that. "Do you know why I picked those stones?"

I looked at it in thought for a moment. "Well the purple ones are my birth stone... and the aqua one reminds me of the ocean…" In Texas, I finished in my head unsure if he would think that was weird. I knew we knew each other almost sixteen years ago, but I doubt he did. I looked at him, unsure. He was nodding.

"Where we first met." He chuckled a little and made me smile, so he did remember.

"I thought so. You were a mean little boy, you know that?"

"Hey now, I was only eight Ali. And I was gonna talk to you but you kissed me remember?"

I blushed a little at his defensiveness. "I was just gonna kiss your cheek. You know, to make you feel better."

"Why did you run away?" He brushed his thumb along my cheek, making me feel shy, smile and my insides turn to Jell-o all at once.

"Because I was five and boys had cooties."

"I would have thanked you," he said quietly.

I smiled at him and tilted my head a little at him. "No, thank you."

"What for?" He asked, smiling a little.

"Every single kiss."

His smile grew wider and he shook his head a little. "No, thank you Alice."

"Why? I was totally the awkward one... You were always so…" Beautiful. I though and then scoffed at my lameness. "Hot."

His hand cupped my cheek as he leaned in closer to me. "Well for starters for being you, you have a tendency to think the worst about yourself but that's what I like about you. And then, there's the fact that you love with your whole heart, with everything you have, and I have to admit, I wish I had half of what you have." Suddenly he jerked back and pulled his hand away. "Fuck, I really want to kiss you right now," he mumbled. His eyes were green with desire and I licked my lips in anticipation.

"Let's go back to the hotel." I said standing up, he nodded and stood as well, leading me out of the restaurant.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We took a limo back to the hotel, our lips not breaking from each other's the entire ride back. He situated himself between my legs so he could grind himself into me as we made out, the skirt of my dress pushed up around my waist as he played with the ties on my panties.

The limo came to a stop and I had just enough time to pull my skirt down as Jasper pulled me out of the limo. Flashes of light coming from cameras and we ran, disheveled from our make-out session into the hotel and into an elevator. If it weren't for the other people on the elevator we probably would've continued our little session there, as it was our eyes were locked and I could see every drop of passion Jasper had for me in his eyes.

The minute we walked into the suite I pounced on him, slamming him against the door and making it rattle from the force. Our lips locked and our tongues danced their lustful tango. His hands groped my ass as he carried me to our room. Jasper kicked the door shut with his foot, turned and locked it then tossed me on to the bed. I licked my lips as he smirked at me, his eyes clouded with lust as I pulled my dress off, leaving me in just my heels and panties.

I laid my head back onto the pillows and massaged my sex through the fabric of my panties as he shrugged out of his jacket and pulled off his pants. "Are you wet, Darlin'?" He drawled, his accent thick and voice husky. I slid my fingers under the top of my panties and rubbed my clit making myself even wetter as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

"Yes, very." I didn't recognize my own voice. I watched his eyes grow even darker as I touched myself for him, pinching my nipple between two fingers and tugging lightly. "I want you, Jasper." I purred, my eyes never leaving his face. He stalked forward his arousal straining against the material of his boxers, my body shivered in anticipation. Kneeling lightly, his eyes locked onto mine as he lowered himself, leaving wet kisses on my stomach down to my hips.

I moved my hand away from my bundle and ran my fingers through his hair, willing him to go where I wanted him most. His hand cupped and massaged me through my panties, causing my back to arch from the feeling. I bit my lip to stifle the moan that threatened to come out.

"I can't wait to taste your cream as I fuck you with my tongue." My clit throbbed when he said that and I couldn't help but moan. I felt the tie loosen at my hip as he pulled the satin sash free with his teeth on one side and then the other before he pulled the fabric away from my body and tossed it to the side.

He massaged my thighs as he kissed his way to my aching arousal, my fingers raking and pulling lightly on his hair. His eyes never moved from mine as he kissed my lower lips then flattened his tongue, pressing it into my folds. I groaned in pleasure. I felt him lick me, torturously slow before reaching my throbbing bundle of nerves. He took my clit between his lips and sucked gently while inserting his finger and began pumping it in and out of me, slowly, instantly making my stomach knot.

I mewled in pleasure when he switched his tongue and hand, now rubbing my clit with his thumb as he rolled, twisted and pressed his tongue everywhere inside of me. I could feel the pressure intensify as he switched again sucking, licking and nibbling my clit as he worked my pussy with his talented fingers.

"Fuck, Jasper…I'm so close." I whined pulling on his hair, making him switch again, pinching my bundle between his fingers and his tongue, licked and curled around inside of me as I exploded, my back arching off the bed and my eyes rolling back in my head.

He open-mouthed kissed up my body as I calmed down from my orgasm. He took a nipple between his teeth and ran his tongue along the hardened bud, making them even harder and making me run wet with desire again. He kissed and nibbled his way up my neck before crushing my lips under his, forcing my mouth open with his tongue, he ground his erection into my wetness, the only barrier between us the thin cotton of his boxers.

I broke our passionate embrace to whisper huskily in his ear, 'fuck me, Jasper." With that he sat up and pulled me with him.

"Don't worry Darlin', I intend to. Turn around." He demanded in a whisper. I did as he said and he grabbed my hands pulling them to the headboard, "hang on." He whispered again, kissing my earlobe before kissing down my neck and making me moan with need. He moved my hips a little and pushed my legs apart with his knee before I felt the bed shift and heard the light sound of cloth falling to the floor.

I watched as his naked figure returned to his place behind me on the bed and I felt the hot tip of his cock press against my wet entrance. He kissed the back of my neck as he slid into me, making me groan from the fullness. He stilled himself for a moment, leaving flaming hot kisses along the back of my neck to my shoulders. His hands found purchase on my hips as he pulled himself out slowly and pushed back in quickly, setting a rhythm before letting his hands wander my body.

My knuckles grew white from gripping the headboard as he shoved in and out of me, both of us moaning in unison. My leg muscles trembled from the pleasure coursing through my body. His hands cupping and rubbing my breasts, his palms massaging against my nipples, making me groan a little louder each time. I could feel the knot in my stomach getting tighter as his hand travelled the plane of my stomach to my bundle of nerves, rubbing me slowly as he quickened his movements behind me.

"Fuck, Ali, you feel so good, so tight. Cum for me baby." He panted in my ear as he pressed his fingers harder into my bundle of nerves and pushed himself deeper into me, bringing me even closer to the edge. I pushed my hips back towards him and met his thrusts fast and hard, my breath coming out in gasps and moans as I got even closer. "That's it Darlin'," he whispered, "let go." At the sound of his voice I came undone, screaming his name as everything went white. I felt him go a few moments later, groaning my name loudly into my ear as I felt him twitch and throb inside of me.

We stayed like that for a few minutes, waiting for the repercussions of our orgasms to subside. The feeling of relief was so strong I started to giggle, making him laugh as well.

We moved and started to clean up a bit, getting ready for bed, he whined when he saw me putting on a nightgown, begging me to stay naked with him and because I can't resist his puppy face I did. We curled up together, mesmerized, as if by staring at one another we could read the others mind and then finally we fell asleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning we left our room to get breakfast and were greeted by a few eyebrows and a wide grin.

The wide grin was, of course, from a very chipper Seth. "Hey guys! Did you have fun on your date last night?" He asked enthusiastically. Jasper opened his mouth to answer, but Maggie cut him off.

"Enough fun that they didn't even notice me in the living room when they came back last night." Seth looked at her oddly then the realization dawned on him. I blushed a little.

"You're lucky you didn't hear them. Jesus, I was scared to call Ed, I didn't want him to hear his baby sister in the throes of passion." I felt Jasper move closer to me as I bit my lip and bent my head to hide my very hot face. "Thank God no one on this floor cares who you two are. It'd be a little hard to explain why you two were moaning each other's names so loudly, don't you think?" She asked raising an eyebrow at us as Maggie's shoulders shook with laughter and Seth gaped at us.

"Sorry Bella." I mumbled at her, looking at her through my hair that was hiding my face.

She went back to reading the newspaper, "Don't do that again."

"Wait... you guys... you really are... oh shit!" Seth stuttered looking at us slightly panicked. I felt Jasper's arms wrap tightly around my waist as Sam chuckled, shaking his head as he poured himself some coffee.

"How much did she get?" I looked up at Jasper who had his eyes focused on Seth.

"Twenty... I thought you weren't cause you're not a couple." My eyes darted over to Seth, what the heck were they talking about.

"To the press we're not." Jasper responded to Seth over my head. I was confused, I needed clarification.

"You made a bet that we weren't having sex?" I watched Seth's face blush as he looked down and nodded slowly, regretfully. I picked up a discarded section of Bella's newspaper, rolled it up and struck him on the head with it.

"Ow! Jesus, sorry!" He rubbed the spot where I smacked him, scowling at me. I felt the paper being pulled from my hand and another hand gently touching my side. Jasper, my entire body seemed to relax at his touch.

"Alice baby, stop. He hasn't experienced it yet, he doesn't know better." He looked at me, his eyes flickering through a few emotions I knew and a few I didn't. I beamed at him.

"Hmm true...at this rate he'll never figure out what it feels like. Want some Eggs?" I shrugged and smirked, merrily walking over to the buffet and looking at the things Bella ordered.

"Yes, please." I nodded as I started to load food onto the china they had sitting next to the hotplates.

"Oh hey guys, Rose wants to know where you got Coco's food. Apparently Emmett tried to get it from PetCo and it wasn't there." Bella's voice made me turn around.

"Chef K9's, I special order through the internet but I have more at the condo…" I blushed slightly knowing I kind of sounded like an idiot, but Coco needed to be fed properly, "I have a special fridge in the den with some in it." I added softly. Wishing Coco was here with us, but Rosalie had made me feel bad for taking her, so I let her keep Coco while we were in New York. I couldn't wait to get back to my puppy. The sound of Bella's laughter brought me out of my thoughts.

"Okay I'll call and let her know," she shook her head at Jasper's expression and shrugged. "All I know is Emmett did something."

"What?" I asked. Confused as to what Emmett could've done to our puppy's dog food. Jasper laughed.

"Knowing Emmett, anything is possible. Probably better not to ask." He assured me, wrapping an arm around my waist and placing a kiss on my forehead.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heidi, the makeup artist, was dutifully playing-up my eyes as I sat fidgeting in my chair. I was impatient for her to be done so I could put my stage outfit on, a grey sparkly corset, black jeans, and a fabulous Betsey Johnson jacket I was obsessed with but could only wear during a show. Thank God it was cold and I could actually wear it on stage.

Jasper was making sure his guitar was working properly even though everything went fine during the sound check. I watched him as his gorgeous hair fell into his face and my key hung around his neck, light bouncing off the silver.

"He's a babe, huh?" Heidi's voice brought me back from my daydream. I smiled a tight smile at her.

"He is." I nodded. She smirked at me a little, now applying lip-gloss to my mouth.

"I bet he's awesome in the sack," she continued and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at her and shrugged. "Mmmhmm." She was looking at him just as he looked at me and gave me a painfully cute half-smile. Heidi turned her attention back to my face as she sighed and added, "It's sad… you're not together, yet he only has eyes for you. Such a waste." I had to bite my lip to hold back the smug grin.

A few minutes later she was finally done and I was able to get dressed. Maggie was dressed similar to me and Jasper and Seth were dressed in black jeans and tight black shirts. As we ascended the stairs to the stage I felt Jasper's hand on my lower back and I turned meeting his eyes, I had to fight with myself not to kiss him in the moment and it looked like he was fighting the same urge.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After an awesome show we all went back to the hotel, we were all totally running on an adrenalin high. As soon as we entered the safety of the suite, Jasper held me even though we were sitting on the couch. He had his hands wrapped around me as we joked with our band mates and friends. We even got a chuckle out of Sam.

The next morning we boarded the plane back to Seattle, I was happy to be going home, I would get to see Coco again. The flight was long, six hours of sitting in a confined space, Jasper right next to me but still not allowed to kiss him.

Rosalie and Emmett were waiting for us outside the airport, Rosalie holding Coco, who looked happy to see me. We had two days in Seattle before we left on the bus tour.

I went back to the condo to find that it had been painted and furnished. Most of my photography was hanging and they were working on Jordy's Room. I went out for dinner with Edward and my parents both nights I was home, knowing how much they missed me.

As we packed and got ready for the tour we were informed of something kind of interesting, we were getting another bodyguard. Emmett.
