13. So Here I Go Again.

"Okay so next class, I want your conceptual photographs on what you love. Have a nice rest of the afternoon," Vivian waved us off. I smiled at her and waved a little, she waved back giving me that tight lipped smile that was famously hers.

I was so much happier today than I had been in awhile. Even though we hadn't discussed the specifics, Jasper and I were a 'we', the sound of it made me happy. The sex last night was, in a word, magnificent. I haven't ever been as worn out as I was after last night. Not even that first night of sex matched how worn out I was. At least I wasn't sore and bruised. Well, I wasn't bruised, I won't lie and say I'm not sore, I was just not like I was that first time.

My mind drifted to this morning and stealing his blueberry muffin from him. He didn't seem to mind, blueberry just happened to be my favorite and it smelled so good. When he dropped me off I seriously considered skipping, but I really couldn't. I would have Ed all over my ass then. So I kissed him a lot. Memorizing his lips, how soft and perfectly pouty they were, how good he tasted.

Mike caught me as I was headed out the door. I smiled slightly at him and he walked in step with me. "So that guy, he was the one who broke your heart." I ran my tongue along the scab on the inside of my mouth, my reminder of what happened on Saturday and nodded slightly, wanting Mike to just go away.

"Yeah, that's Jasper." Mike nodded a little towards the ground, before reaching an arm out to stop me and faced me. Fuck guy, I really don't want to lay all my personal business to you.

"Listen, Alice, I know you don't really know me, but I am a psych major. I have studied body language. Everything in the way the two of you move together says that you are at the very least subconsciously together. I think he really does love you but the way he was holding your hand is telling me that he's hiding it. So maybe you should try having a conversation with him about it," he shrugged. Well that was unexpected. I wasn't sure what to say back to him.

I watched as Mike turned and walked away, wondering what the hell that was about, before checking my phone for messages. I only had one voicemail so I listened to it, it was from Ed and he sounded pissed.

"Mary Alice Cullen. I tried calling you six times last night, somehow your phone was turned off. I don't know what happened last night and frankly, I don't care. You missed dinner with the folks. Mom was really hurt by that, I hope you feel good about yourself hurting Mom's feelings. They are coming for dinner to my place tonight and for the love of all that is holy you had better be there! I swear to Christ that if you talk to that fucking pencil dick tonight, I will throw your ass out on the street. I am done with the poor Alice fucking pity party. Get the fuck over yourself."

Well, it was safe to say Ed was pissed, he hardly ever cursed like that. I picked up my phone and called Jazz to leave him a message, it was probably best not to piss my brother off any further than he already was. After leaving the message, I grudgingly made my way to the outdoor picnic area to work on my Trig homework.

The rest of the day at school passed by in a blur, the next thing I knew I was helping Ed out in our very eerily quiet kitchen make dinner. Our folks rarely made a visit to us, they thought Ed was kind of a show off and that he should put more of his money towards charity, they thought all of the items he owns were fairly pointless. Ed and I both knew that their visit today had more to do with the fact that they didn't think my brother was keeping a proper eye on me and less to do with actually seeing us.

That was another reason Ed was pissed, his ability to handle thing was being called into question. I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard the buzzer signaling that our parents were downstairs, Ed went and let them in, actually going all the way downstairs to greet them. I checked the mirror to make sure that the bite marks Jazz had caused on Saturday were sufficiently covered with makeup.

"Princess!" I turned to see a man about the same height as Edward with silvery blond hair and pale blue eyes smiling at me and holding his arms out towards me.

"Hi Daddy!" I hugged him warmly before turning to my mother, she was shorter with the same auburn hair that my brother had and our green eyes. I wrapped my arms around her as well, "Hi Mom."

"Hello Mary dear, we were so worried about you last night." She studied me, making sure I looked taken care of just as I knew she would.

"Mom, I'm okay. I just had a fight with my boyfriend and he took me to dinner to make it up to me." Ed shot me a warning glance before taking everyone into the dining room where we all talked about the usual things and mom pestered me for info about my new boyfriend. Where he was from, how he treated me, whether or not he donated money to charities, all the important things. After we were stuffed with food, Ed and I walked our parents out. Once we were safely back inside the condo I went into the kitchen and started to fill the dishwasher.

Ed wasn't the type of guy to forgive and forget, he came up next to me and slammed his hand against the countertop. "Don't ever put me in that situation again, Alice," he growled at me before storming up the stairs to his room. Once he was safely out of sight I took a deep breath and finished the dishes. Afterwards, I went to my room and did my homework before drifting off to an uneasy sleep.

The next day, after I took my morning jog and after my morning classes were finished, I called Jasper, hoping to talk to him and pick up my spirits some. I struck out.

"Hey you've reached Jasper, you know the drill so do it or I won't call back. And if this is Alice, baby I'm sorry but I'm stuck in meetings today, I promise I'll call when I can breathe." I sighed, I hated his new position already.

"Hey Jazz, I was just calling you to talk. Hopefully I can talk to you later, Double D is still being the douche bag extraordinaire. I miss you," I sighed as I closed my phone and headed towards my second class. It passed fairly uneventfully and before I knew it I was walking towards my car to go home.

"Hey Alice! Wait up!" I turned towards the voice almost on instinct.

"Oh hey Rose. What's up?" She caught up with me and leaned lightly against a light pole, trying to catch her breath.

"Hey, so real quick, you know how Bella works at Wolf Records?" She sounded rushed and out of breath as she said it, so I knew she was in a hurry. I nodded quickly.

"What about it?"

"Well, she just got promoted and needs to make this band or something," she shrugged and rolled her eyes like she could care less, but if she didn't care why was she asking me? "Anyway, apparently she needs someone who can hold their own as a vocalist, and we thought of you 'causem, well damn girl, that song you did was fucking great!" I smiled and blushed a little. They kept feeding me compliments on it and now they were asking me to sing in a band?

"Really? How come Bella didn't ask me?" She shrugged again.

"I'm sure you know what its like, what with your brother being in something similar. She's stuck in "brainstorming" sessions all day," she handed me a business card. 'Isabella M. Swan' was scripted in tiny print across the front. "She said if you're interested to show up Wednesday for the meeting, where you can meet the rest of the monkey's your gonna work with." She smiled at me warmly. I got the funniest feeling that she was up to something, but decided to not think too much about it. I smiled back at her.

"Thanks, Rose. Have a nice day."

"No problem, hun! Ciao!" She yelled over her shoulder as she sprinted back towards the school. How that woman can run in heels is beyond me, I thought before turning back in the direction of my car and shaking my head.

One I got home I decided to call Bella and after setting things up with her for the morning, I started working on dinner. I ate my half and boxed up the other half for Ed to eat whenever he got home from work and made my way over to my room, periodically checking my phone to see if Jazz had called back or not. After checking my messages for what seemed like the billionth time, I decided to take a shower. Apparently I pick just the most inappropriate times to shower. He had finally called back and left a message.

"Hey beautiful, sorry I missed your call. I was in a meeting with the boss. Umm... I have some news. It's great, still kind of stunned about it. But guess what? Tag your it.." He laughed a little sadly before adding, "miss you." I heard the click that let me know that he was finished with his message. I sighed, I miss you too, Jazz. I shook my head at myself. It had only been a day and a half, what the hell was wrong with me?! I texted him a message back.

Hey Jazzman I got an early morn, gonna go 2 bed. Nite. XOXOXO A.

I slipped under the covers of my bed to wait for Jasper's response. I didn't have to wait long.

That makes 2 of us. Sweet dreams sweetheart. Jazzman

I fell asleep with a smile on my face.

It smelled like it was going to rain. I looked up to the clouds and they were dark, but that wasn't unusual for Forks. 'It's always overcast', I thought to myself. I promised Jessica I would go out with her, she wanted to walk by Chief Swan's old house and see if we could see any ghosts that were supposed to haunt it.

She was so fucked in the head with that crap, I wondered if maybe she had been dropped on her head as a child. I sighed and pulled on my jeans, too big as always. I hated it when people checked out my ass, it was too big in my opinion, my thighs weren't very nice looking, and don't even get me started on my knees. I put on a pink bra with frogs on it. The cutest thing I have ever bought at Wal-Mart, I smirked at the thought. 'Who knew Wal-Mart had such cute shit?' Then I put on a white tank, I knew you could see my bra straps, but it was whatever. I was only hanging out with Jessica. After what seemed like the hundredth time of pulling my jeans up I finally grabbed one of Ed's old belts and fastened it securely around my waist.

I looked into the mirror, my long black hair was frizzy from the humidity and my face was pale and gaunt. I put on some chapstick, and sighed at my reflection. 'Well Mary Alice, this is as good as it gets.' I threw on some socks and my Payless knock off sneakers, before running out the door.

Jess lived about a block away from me and didn't hesitate in showing me the route we were taking to the Swan house. I sighed, walking slowly to keep pace with her, sharing a joint she had just rolled up as we walked. After a few miles we were in sight of the old white house. The grass was overgrown and someone desperately needed to hedge the trees before they overtook the house altogether.

"Oh my god!" Jess whispered loudly in my ear.

"Owe, Jess," I shoved her away roughly. "What?" She pointed to the side of the house.

"It's the ghost!" She whispered again. I looked to see where she was pointing. It didn't look like a ghost to me.

"Aren't ghost's supposed to be transparent?" Jess rolled her eyes at me. I watched him, a white baseball cap was on top of blond curls, denim jeans that seemed to fit properly and a black tee shirt that showed off his muscles well. I almost killed myself when I tripped slightly over a rock while I was staring too hard to pay attention. Jess laughed loudly and made his head snap up, his eyes instantly met mine.

'He's so beautiful.' I thought, I could feel myself drawn to him and I started walking. 'What the fuck?' I could hear Jess hiss my name behind me but it didn't matter, this guy, he didn't seem much older than me, seemed like he was hurt. I wanted, no needed, to make sure he was ok. Before I knew it I was standing less than a foot away from him nervously snapping my gum. 'Whatever Mary, don't bitch out now.' I flipped my hair in irritation at myself, pushing it off my shoulder and letting it all cascade down my back.

"Hey." God Mary, you're a fucking idiot. He didn't break eye contact, even while shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Hey." His voice was thick and rich. God, even his voice was hot. I tried to keep myself calm. Act cool Mary Alice, act cool. I smirked at him.

"Why you standing out here for... it's gonna rain." I pointed above us, obviously trying to be cool, but failing miserably. He broke eye contact to look up before meeting my eyes and shrugging.

"So it is," well fuck, he's a man of few words isn't he? I don't exactly know what made me do it, but I inched closer to him, his breathing picked up a little. Fuck, he's tall! I peered up at him. His eyes met mine again; they startled me a little, they were green in the center.

"Did you get into a fight with your 'rents?" He looked away, shaking his head and smirked.

"Nah," his hand reached out a little and he wrapped his index finger around one of my belt loops. You're an idiot Mary, he has you now and fucking Jess ran away like a bitch. Good going, you're so gonna get raped. 'Can't rape the willing', I retorted in my head. 'Wait, was I willing?' He looked back at me again. 'Yep.'

"You always talk to strangers?" He asked smirking at me, I laughed a little.

"Nope," I responded popping the p. "You just looked.…" Devastatingly beautiful… I laughed at my stupidity before finishing. "Kinda… lost." He raised an eyebrow at me.

I asked him something stupid about if he was knocking off the local liquor store and the next thing I knew we were kissing. He had me pressed against the siding of the house, my legs were wrapped around his waist as he ground himself into me. One of my hands laced in his hair and the other balled up in the front of his shirt. While one of his hands cupped my cheek, keeping me connected to his mouth, the other traveled my body. It felt great I didn't want it to end. He broke from our kiss and his mouth moved to my neck, gently sucking and nipping down to my collarbone.

Crack! The thunder rang out loudly, making my eardrums ring a bit and my mystery man to jump and cling to me, like a predator not willing to share their dinner. I heard the downpour before I actually felt it, of course I only felt it because I was suddenly soaked. I looked at him as he stared wide-eyed right back. I felt a sharp pain on the top of my head and the way he cringed I knew he had felt one as well, it was fucking hailing! 'Well that is just fucking great,' I thought. He started to laugh and pulled me under the willow tree with him, whispering sweet things to me.

Then he sang a song to me, the strangest country song I had ever heard. But I didn't care about that, his voice so youthful, full of a southern accent, he sounded happy. I made him happy. And then my brother ruined it for me. Why didn't I ask his name when I had the chance?

I was awakened by the sound of my phone ringing. What the hell? I thought. I reached and grabbed it off my nightstand and answered it without looking.

"Hello?"

"Hey Ali, I'm on my way to pick you up." It was Bella, I shot up and ran to my bathroom to get ready.

"Um… how far away are you?" I asked, my voice no longer full of sleep. I shoved my toothbrush in my mouth and started to brush.

"About 15 minutes."

"Ok see you then," I pressed the end button on my phone and started getting ready at a more hurried pace. Thank god my hair is short, I thought as I did my hair. I pulled on the outfit I had picked out last night, a white button up cap sleeve shirt and a black pencil skirt and black heels. I added pearls and rushed to the door in time to greet Bella.

"Jeez lady calm down," she laughed at me as she shut the door behind her, jiggling her keys in her hand a bit. I stopped rushing and looked at her.

"Aren't we late?" I looked towards the kitchen to see if I could make out the large wall clock in there. "What time is it?" She shook her head at me and smiled.

"No, you really think they're gonna start without us?" I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled a little at Bella. I was nervous, this was a big deal.

"No I guess not." She glanced at her pearl watch.

"We got time, you ready to meet your band?" Of course! I nodded eagerly.

"Yeah. As ready as I'll ever be." I flashed her my million dollar smile. She laughed.

"Well I met Maggie and Seth yesterday. Maggie seems nice, she's happy to know she won't be the only female. And Seth…" She shook her head with a small smile playing on her face, "that kid, you can tell he's a drummer."

"Well ok then," I took a breath to calm my nerves and opened the door for Bella. "Lets go meet the band." She snorted a little laugh at my face.

"Wow, you'd think you're facing the Italian mafia or something." I laughed at that and followed behind her and locked up.

We went to the local Starbucks and ordered our coffee's, she gave me the same reaction her cousin did when I ordered my grande mocha frappacino with a triple shot, staring at me like I was crazy. We joked around some and walked to her office building and took the elevator up to the thirteenth floor. She was leading me to a board room when she stopped suddenly and turned to me.

"Okay, Alice this is it. Remember that no matter what I think you're the best for this okay?" Whoa okay, that was cryptic.

"You've been hanging around Double D too much," she rolled her eyes at me and put her hand on the knob.

"Yeah, well don't say I didn't warn you…" She was acting like she had sentenced me to death or something. She opened the door and I walked in after her. The first person I saw was an older Native American man in a nice dark suit. He smiled warmly at me and I returned the smile.

"Go ahead and take a seat," she spoke softly to me as I scanned the room for the best place to sit. "He's not here yet?" I turned back to Bella, who wasn't here yet. "Well Alice, These are two of the three other members." Oh I am assuming our fourth member then, Bella pointed at a familiar looking boy with black hair and a wry smile who was tapping on the table with a pen in a rhythmic beat. "Seth Clearwater," she stated before pointed to an older looking lady with thick glasses and wild red hair. "Maggie Welsch. Guys this is Alice Cullen, your vocalist," they waved at me and nodded, I waved back and gave them a little 'hey' as I made my way to sit by them.

"And lastly," she pointed to the man she had been talking to when we first came in. "This is the big guy in charge Mr. Billy Black." I smiled at him and nodded my head again at him and he did the same. Bella looked nervous and kept glancing at her watch while Billy sat in a chair beside the table we were currently at and smiled serenely at us.

"I'm sorry I told him to be here early," she trailed off, the expression on her face was pained, Billy looked at her and smiled a tight smile.

"It's fine, Bella," he said in a soothing voice. Just then the door opened with a thud and I saw someone in jeans and a leather jacket with messy black hair walk in.

"Sorry guys I didn't hear the…" He stopped and his blue green eyes met mine. Jasper. I could feel my mouth open a little. He stared as well. In my peripheral I could see Bella glare a little at the love of my life.

"Glad you could join us, Whitlock." He broke eye contact with me for a minute and looked at Bella, giving her a guilty smile. Billy stood up and faced Jasper.

"Please sit down, son." He pointed towards the chairs. "Bella how about you fill everyone in, this is going to be your baby after all," he smiled warmly at her, like a father smiles at their daughter when they are proud of them. Jasper took a seat across from me and raised an eyebrow at me as if to ask 'why the fuck are you here?' I smiled at him a little to say 'the same thing you are' and turned to Bella, who took a shaky breath.

"Thank you Mr. Black." Billy sat back down and smiled paternally at her.

"Well I know Seth and Alice know Jasper. Maggie, this is Jasper Whitlock, he's going to be lead guitar. Jasper," Bella gave him a pointed look. "This is Maggie Welsch, your bassist." I could see Jasper nod a little in Maggie's direction, but his eyes never left my profile.

"Nice to meet you." Maggie nodded back and looked between us. I smirked, Stop staring Jazz, you're making people suspicious. He kept staring. I guess that's a no.

"Well guys we're all here today to discuss the possibility of making a band. Am I correct in assuming you all are in fact interested in this endeavor?" Maggie and I nodded at the same moment. Seth grinned widely and nodded.

"Yep." Jasper popped the p and didn't take his eyes from me to acknowledge his cousin. Gees Jasper. You act like you've never seen me before. Even Billy was looking at Jasper oddly.

"Right, well today we're going to go over ideas to create the image in which Wolf Records is known for. With the help of Mr. Black, we hope to not only make you guys marketable, but loved by all. But the first big thing we need from you four, is a name. This needs to some-how represent the four of you.…"

"Eclipse." Jasper cut Bella off while still looking at me, my head snapped in his direction, and even Bella was looking at him oddly. What the fuck? How the fuck does that represent us?

"Like blocking the Sun?" Seth asked. Smart question kid. Maggie looked thoughtful. Jasper nodded.

"I was thinking more of a Lunar Eclipse, but yeah." I could feel my eyebrows furrow and he smiled a little at me.

"That's a cool name," Maggie nodded her agreement. "Catchy." Jasper finally looked away from me to look at Maggie and smiled.

"Thanks." Why did I suddenly feel jealous of her? He didn't like cougars, did he? She tilted her head slightly at him. Seth was nodding beside me.

"I like it." What the fuck, was I the only bustard that didn't understand why?

"Why the lunar eclipse?"

Jasper looked back at me a bit defensively. "Why not?" I rolled my eyes at him.

"Fine." I hissed at him and out of the corner of my eye I saw Bella pinch the bridge of her nose. Sorry Bella. I settled back into my chair and crossed my arms. "I guess it's good enough." Jasper raised an eyebrow at me.

"Got a better suggestion, Ms. Cullen?" Oh hell no! What the fuck was that? Bella walked over and smacked him on the back of the head with her clipboard. He glared at her while she gave him a pointed look. I smirked.

"Nope," popping the p. I looked directly into his eyes, they flickered a little with lust. "Whatever you want," my voice came out a little huskier than I wanted. I only hoped no one had noticed. Jasper smirked at me before looking at Bella.

"Well I guess we can check that off the list, Ms. Swan." Whoa, what was up with him calling everyone by their last name? Is he PMSing or what? Even Billy gave him an eyebrow. I saw her eyes narrow and her jaw clench.

"Great so Eclipse it is. Although I would recommend Mr. Whitlock, that for interview purposes you come up with better reason as to why you came up with that."

"Because there is a person who eclipse's everything else for you," Maggie stated like she had just been asked the fucking question. I looked at her as she gave me an eyebrow and looked pointedly between Jasper and I. Lady he is so not talking about me, get off your damn soapbox. Jasper nodded a little towards her.

"See, she gets it." He flashed me a megawatt smile as she nodded back with that same smile. That was not a confirmation! I yelled at her in my head.

"Awe... That's sweet," Seth laughed. "Oh man, just think how many girls are gonna want you Jazz." I could feel my nostrils flare as the blood rushed to my face. My eyes narrowed at Jasper and I slouched into my chair a bit. Jasper's eyes went wide at me and then he glared at Seth.

"That's not what I'm doing this for," he hissed. Bella clapped her hands, commanding our attention.

"So! Now we need to talk about a Demo, obviously Mr. Black and I would like to see how well you four can work and perform together. Mr. Black has some musical suggestions, just to help you guys to get some radio play. Mr. Black…" He stood up and smiled at us all from his position at the table.

"Alright, first I just need to look you over first and tell Bella a few things and then we'll head to the studio." Bella fidgeted a little bit with her pen, she was really nervous about this. Don't worry Bella I won't let you down. Jasper and Seth nodded to Billy. He walked up to Maggie first, he offered his hand and she rose from her seat and took it. He looked her over before asking.

"How old are you?" She looked confused.

"Twenty-three." Whoa, she looks a lot older than that, I thought. Billy must've thought the same thing.

"Bella, make her look her age," he said over his shoulder, Bella wrote something down on her clipboard before smiling and nodding to Billy.

"Yes sir," he walked over to Seth and held out his hand again, Seth took it as he stood, the kid was huge! He was almost as tall as Jasper already.

"How old are you son?"

"Eighteen sir," he grinned widely. "I'll be nineteen in July," he added enthusiastically. Billy smiled and nodded at him before turning to Bella

"Make him look Maggie's age." Bella smiled at Seth, laughing a little.

"Yes sir." Seth looked thrilled and Jasper just chuckled and shook his head. Billy walked up to me next, I stood and smoothed my skirt before offering my hand, he took it.

"Alice Cullen... the model Alice Cullen?" He asked looking at me carefully. I nodded and watched out of the corner of my eye as Jasper's eyes went wide and his mouth opened a little. Had he really not known?

"Yes sir." I said quietly. He looked me up and down.

"Don't take this personal, because you're beautiful," he looked over his shoulder at Bella. "Make her sexier and more rock and roll." Jasper's eyes narrowed at him with that and I coughed a little in surprise. I hadn't expected someone ever telling me that I needed to be sexier. Bella wrote it down on her clipboard as Billy made his way around the table to Jasper.

"Jasper," he held out his hand. "I've been dying to meet you for years." Jasper stood and took his hand.

"Well, lets just say I finally listened to a wise woman, and got my shit in gear." He smiled and I heard Bella groan into her clipboard. I smiled to myself, I knew he was talking about me. Billy smiled at Jasper.

"Well I'm glad you listened to her." He looked up and down Jasper as well before looking at him with questioning eyes. I thought he looked pretty good. Maybe Billy couldn't find a flaw anywhere.

"Son how long have you been out of prison?" He asked and my mouth instantly hit the floor, Bella bit back laughter.

"Buuuurrrn!" Seth yelled at the top of his lungs. My hand covered my mouth and I started to laugh. I couldn't believe he said that, yeah Jasper was pretty rough looking. I took a moment to really look at the way Jasper was dressed and found that Billy was right. Jasper choked a little in shock.

"I... umm… I've never been to prison sir," he said meekly. Billy nodded.

"Just testing you." Billy smiled half-heartedly at him before looking at Bella. "Make him look less like he just got out of jail."

"Good luck with that!" Jasper flipped Seth off as Seth laughed at his own joke and I laid my head on the table and laughed some more. I could feel the tears start to run down my cheeks from laughing so hard. I could hear the smile in Bella's voice as she spoke.

"I'll do my best sir."

"Haha, lets all laugh at my expense good to see where the love lies in this band." He actually sounded hurt, I looked up at him and bit back my laughter.

"Sorry Jazz." I looked into his eyes, he looked at me for a moment stunned, before leaning back in his seat some.

"Uh, Billy? I mean Mr. Black?" I looked at him oddly as he sounded so unsure of himself, he was always sure of himself. This was new.

"Yes, son?"

"Uh, is that what we're doing? Rock? I know Bella mentioned that you have some demo ideas and I was curious as to what our sound was going to be."

"Yes, I've heard Alice's voice and rock would be good. I want you to do a cover of Evanesance, that should really get people talking. Not a lot of people can match that lady with vocals." Billy pointed at me, "I think she can." Me? I felt my eyes widen and my jaw hit the floor. Me, he thinks I can sing like Amy Lee? Jasper nodded.

"I would agree with you on that one, sorry to interrupt." He smiled at Billy, before looking at me again.

"No problem son. Alright lets get you to the sound booth and have y'all do your thing." Seth pulled out drum sticks from his back pocket and twirled one in his hand.

"Awesome." Yes, definitely a drummer. Jasper laughed at Seth and shook his head a little. Maggie stood up and grabbed a guitar case, walking quietly behind Billy. Everyone started to follow, except for Jasper, he just stayed where he was and watched everyone. I walked over to him and grabbed his hand pulling lightly. I looked him in the eyes as his eyes scanned my body. I smirked at him.

"You coming?" He smirked at me.

"Of course," he stood and we caught up to the rest of the group, still holding hands. We went down in the elevators to the seventh floor and Billy led us into a recording studio, where we walked through a door and Seth immediately sat behind the drum set. Jasper and Maggie got out their guitars, I stood in front of the microphone, Bella came over and handed us three pieces of paper with songs on them. She walked out and I studied the music as we waited for some sort of signal to start from Bella or Billy.

We went through two practice and one recording runs on each of the two songs that were written for us, Spin and Whiplash. Then we got to Bring me to life. I started to play the keyboard in front of me and singing.

"How can you see into my eyes like open doors

leading you down into my core

where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold

until you find it there and lead it back home."

I looked over at Jasper and smiled a little as I sang, he was doing the vocals for the guy in the song and he sounded so sexy doing it. Damn me and my one track mind. I thought. I watched him as he sang, completely unaware that I was watching him. Well maybe not completely after about the second chorus he looked at me and smiled a little.

"Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead."

All this time I can't believe I couldn't see

kept in the dark but you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems

Got to open my eyes to everything

Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul

Don't let me die here

There must be something more

Bring me to life

We locked eyes towards the end and were singing to each other. It seemed like everyone and everything drifted away like this, it was just me and him. Singing to each other, the norm. The song ended and we were still staring at each other then a buzz broke through my Jasper-stupefied brain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are bottled gold. I'm going to send this to some friends and see if we can start a buzz. Welcome to the business." Billy's voice came through a speaker and smiled at us through the glass. Then he turned and grabbed something before hugging Bella and exiting the room.

Seth whistled and Maggie smiled at us, she came over and I high fived her realizing I was shaking from my excitement. She fist pounded with Jasper, who looked amazed and muttered to himself. Our eyes met and he looked at me excitedly as he put his guitar down. I couldn't just stand there anymore I ran up to him and embraced him, pouring everything into my hug.

"We did it baby," he whispered, sounding more amazed than anything. I was kind of amazed as well, and elated, I felt like I was floating I was so happy. I smiled up at him and nodded.

"My fucking GOD!" I squealed and jumped up on him, he held me just looking at me adoringly.

"I'm so proud of you Alice." He smiled at me and kissed me gently, I responded and pressed mine a little more forcefully before pulling away.

"I'm proud of you too." The nice way of saying thank you for pulling your head out Jazz. I smirked at myself as he pulled me back into the kiss, licking my bottom lip for permission and I met his tongue with mine, gently dancing in a slow rhythm. Time always seemed to stop when we were like this. Before I knew it I heard Seth yelling at us.

"Jazz! Stop sucking her face off!" Jasper pulled away and smirked at me as I grumbled and flipped Seth off. Jasper chuckled, Seth rolled his eyes at me and Maggie simply shook her head.

"Seth, shouldn't you be calling Kelci and tell her you're now one fourth of Eclipse?" I smirked as Jasper turned back to me, and smiled huge. "Jesus Christ, We're a band!" I jumped down, Seth having to call his girl reminded me of something. I turned to Jasper and smiled huge at him.

"I gotta call and tell Double D!" I watched as his smile faltered some and he rubbed the back of his neck. Geez can't you just stop hating my brother for five whole minutes Jazz, I thought.

"Yeah." I watched as Maggie pulled out a phone and left the room dialing a number. Seth ran after Maggie and stopped to pull Bella up into a bear hug before racing away. I grabbed Jasper's hand and started to drag him out of the room.

"Common Jazz lets go celebrate!" I walked out to Bella who smiled at us knowingly. "We have to get dinner! Where do you wanna go?!" I asked Bella excitedly.

"I think it's up to you guys, this is your big break." She smiled at us again, I could tell she was excited as well, I looked at Jasper to see if he had any input. He shrugged.

"Your call, baby, I'm easy." Bella snorted a laugh at the comment and I really couldn't help what I said in response.

"I know you're easy," I kissed him gently.

"Hey I didn't mean... ugh," he shook his head. "Women…" I laughed a little at the comment, before turning my attention back to Bella.

"You like Italian food? I can call Double D and have him meet us." I looked at Jasper, hoping he would be ok with it since it was my big break too. Bella nodded also watching for Jasper's reaction. I could see the muscles around his jaw clench.

"Sure, I have to call Rose... do you mind if she and Emmett come?" He looked at me as if gauging my reaction as well, I smiled warmly, his sister was okay and Emmett was pretty cool.

"Sure!"

- - -

We went to me and Ed's favorite place, La Bella Italia. I ordered my usual chicken fettuccini, Jasper ordered the chicken parmesan which kind of struck me as odd, I thought he would want a steak of some sort, or beef. Guy's from Texas always eat that stuff don't they? Stop generalizing Alice, I scolded myself.

We ate our dinner and made polite conversation, Jasper and I kept making faces at each other while eating. It seemed like everyone was having a grand time. I saw Rose smirk in our general direct. I looked up at her. She winked at me and looked at Jasper, "So Jasper, how long have you been out of prison?" I snorted before hiding my face in the napkin so Jasper wouldn't see me laughing at that again. I saw Jasper choke a bit on his water while Emmett's laughter boomed across the restaurant. I rubbed Jasper's leg sympathetically.

"Are you ok baby?" Jasper nodded at me as Ed glared at him. Oops someone wasn't in on the joke.

"Prison?" Rose started to howl in laughter, Bella looked at my brother.

"It's a joke. Billy wants me to clean him up some." Jasper had finally recovered from his near drowning on his drinking water and scowled at my brother. "I don't see what the big idea is. I mean look at Kurt Cobain and Eddie Veder, their look is rock."

"Yeah but they're grunge and…" I leaned over to whisper in his ear because Ed really didn't need to hear the next part coming from my mouth. "Frankly the type of guy you don't wanna do." I shrugged a little as Jasper smirked at me.

"Dude, didn't Kurt kill himself? Is that what you want people to think..."Emmett made air quotes with his fingers "'look at me fuck the world, I'm gonna kill myself'?" I looked at Emmett and had the strangest urge to defend Kurt Cobain.

"He had a very serious mental health issue." I thought about it and turned to Jasper, "Do you want people to think your fucked in the head?" I could see Ed bite his lip to keep from laughing. Rose rolled her eyes before continuing her point.

"Okay so Kurt and Eddie are bad examples." Just as Jasper leaned over to me and whispered in my ear while shrugging.

"Well I kinda am…" I rolled my eyes and whispered back.

"No you aren't. Not like him." He nodded.

"Ouch. Bella, baby what was that for?" Ed jumped a little away from Bella. She hissed something in his ear, as Ed looked at her innocently and whispered something back into her ear. She gave him a pointed look.

"I know you way better then that Edward Anthony." My brother dropped his eyes to the napkin next to his plate.

"Yes ma'am." I noticed Jasper tilt his head to watch Bella and Ed. Then Bella looked back towards us.

"So I'm going to take everyone tomorrow and get Jazz really nice clothes and make Seth look older.... Hey Rose, do you think you could help me with that?" Rose gave Bella a mischievous look.

"You want me to dress my brother?" Jasper gave Bella a pleading look.

"Please no Bells, my dear, sweet, loving, kind cousin... please I'd rather be hunting with," He tilted his head in Ed's direction as Ed took a sip of water. "Anything, but that please!" Jasper was begging.

"Oh I know she can make me sexy!" I heard Jasper growl softly, I didn't quite understand why. Ed blanched a little, as Bella nodded and smiled.

"That's what I was thinking." Rose nodded towards us.

"Okay, I can do that." I was excited at the prospect of getting new clothes and changing my style some. I loved that sort of stuff.

"Great! 'Cause I know I'm gonna have my hands full with him... Especially when we fix his hair," she motioned at Jasper. Ed looked at Jasper oddly.

"Fix his hair?" Bella nodded.

"Yep, He needs a hair cut, and stripping." Stripping? I get to see his real hair color?

"Eww you're gonna strip your cousin... that's kinky and wrong." Leave it to Emmett to make a stupid comment like that. I heard the smacking sound as Rose smacked Emmett's leg.

"Not like that," I looked over at Jasper again to notice he was looking at Bella with a concerned look.

"Why are we doing that?" Before anyone could answer him, Ed turned to Bella and interjected.

"Is he blond?" He pointed at Jasper. Bella cocked her head at Ed.

"Yes love, he 'hides' it."

"Excuse me love, I need a cigarette," he stood up quickly and kissed Bella on the cheek before leaving, she looked as confused as I felt about Ed leaving. Jasper was still glaring at Bella.

"Why do we need to do that?"

"Because as much as you totally dig the dirty hippie look I, for one, am sick of the dye job."

"I like blonds." I smiled at him. He gave me a tight lipped smile I knew he had when he was holding back something.

"And the hair cut, seriously Jazz, the hair in the eyes thing on men is so emo." My eyes didn't leave Jasper's face, he really didn't want to be blond again. When Rose spoke I could hear her rolling her eyes, Jasper rolled his in return.

"As much as you like it when I pull your hair bro, yeah it's kinda getting girly." I bit my lip not to laugh at what Emmett had just said, but Jasper seemed to not like it at all, his head snapped in Emmett's direction.

"Fuck off," Jasper growled at him to which Emmett chuckled.

"I'm trying man I'm trying," everyone groaned at Emmett's response. Jasper shook his head and looked back to Bella.

"Seriously cuz, blond? Can't we just cut it?" Bella cut him off and shook her head.

"No Jazz. it's time to move on," she gave Jasper a pointed look before looking at me. "Alice, does Ed do this a lot? Leave dinner like that?" She turned away to look at the door. I shook my head at her, it wasn't normal behavior for Ed. As a matter of fact, I thought he had quit smoking.

"No not really…" I answered her, Bella gave me a worried look right as Ed reentered the restaurant. "Oh he's coming back." Ed walked back over to us, he kissed Bella on the cheek again before giving Jasper a polite smile. What the fuck was that about? I thought.

"Sorry." Jasper raised an eyebrow at Ed, but nodded politely in response. Bella placed her hand on Ed's cheek and forced him to look her in the eyes.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine love. Just old memories of home," he smiled at her. She nodded. Home? What the hell brought up Forks? I looked at my place setting, he couldn't be so home sick that looking at silverware made him think of it, could he?

"You're telling me later, Cullen." Emmett cut her off.

"Hey... what's up with you two?" He looked from Jasper to Edward. "You guys are cool as shit, but get you two together and it's like someone shoved a stick up your asses." Edward smirked.

"Nah Em, Jazzy and I are cool, aren't we, Jazzy?" I stared at my brother. What kind of fuckery was that? I could hear Jasper grind his teeth next to me.

"Sure thing, Eddie." Ed's eyes narrowed and he took a drink of water at the same time as Jasper their eyes locked. Fuck, think Alice change the subject!

".... Um... So Rose, uh.... wanna go underwear shopping tomorrow too?" I looked at Rose who raised an eyebrow at me and both Ed and Jasper choked on their water.

"Can I watch?" Emmett joked.

"No!" Rose and Jasper both yelled in unison causing some of the other patrons to jump and look at us. I decided to continue, it was breaking the tension between Jasper and Edward.

"You ever hear of Agent Provocateur?"

"You are NOT going to that store!" Ed growled at me, but I ignored him. So did Rose apparently, she nodded enthusiastically.

"Yes I have, oh! And La Perla." She smiled happily. I liked this lady's shopping habits. I grinned at her.

"I love La Perla!"

"You know you should save those stores for when I can go. I could use a new pair…" Ed choked on his water again and Jasper groaned, his head falling back against the chair. Yes this conversation was definitely working.

"That sounds like fun," Bella smiled warmly at me.

"Great."

"Oh and Maggie needs to," I made finger quotes to Rose. "Look her age?" Rose looked at me confused.

"Why, how old does she look now?" I shrugged at her question.

"I thought she was like thirty-something."

"And she's how old?" Jasper answered before I could.

"Twenty three." Why the fuck did he remember that? I could feel the jealousy rising again.

"Okay so I have to make Alice look sexy? And Maggie look young?" Rose looked at Bella. I was kinda offended.

"You say that like it's a hard thing?!" I shot at Rose before Bella could respond. Rose laughed at me.

"No, you'll be easy 'cause you're already hot," I smiled widely at her.

"I believe Billy said more rock and roll as well." I could feel my smile falter a bit as I looked at Jasper.

"Don't be like that Jasper," Bella gave her cousin a dirty look.

"I'm not being like anything. I just don't want Alice to get in trouble." I looked at Jasper who gave me a smug smile. Chew on this, jackass.

"Maybe I should get that whole sex hair thing going.... you know…" Edward cleared his throat cutting me off. I looked at Ed's pained expression and laughed a bit. "It's rock and roll," I shrugged. Jasper was staring at me oddly. I think he caught what I was getting at.

"I think your hair is rock and roll enough the way it is." Ed looked to Jasper for help. Good luck.

"I kind of agree with her though... I mean I'm sure for videos and shots they add color extensions and such... but the just out of bed look is very hot." Bella gave Edward a doe eyed look that Ed smiled a little at. He sighed.

"You're the boss love," Emmett snickered.

"I wonder how often he says that." Rose smacked him hard upside the head and Jasper chuckled. I looked at Jasper and wondered how he found that funny.

"Alright, so when we doing this?" I asked Bella, still looking at Jasper confused. He shrugged.

"Don't look at me... as Eddie," he smirked as Ed gave him an eyebrow. "Has put it…" He pointed towards Bella, "she's the boss." Well no shit. I rolled my eyes at him.

"I was asking Bella…"

"Oh…" Jasper's smile faltered.

"I just wanted to know why you were laughing at an obvious sexual reference to my brother and your cousin's sex life," I gave him an eyebrow.

"I wasn't laughing at that, please don't remind me of that," he responded. Bella glared at Jasper.

"I'm twenty-three, I can do what I want J.T." She stated firmly. I shrugged at him as well.

"'Kay, Jazz." I smirked at his disparaging look and grabbed a breadstick to eat while we finished our discussion. Ed smirked at Jasper and leaned close to Bella wrapping an arm around her. Bella smiled at the act and gave him a kiss on the cheek before looking at me.

"To answer your question, I think tomorrow would be a good start. The sooner we get the new looks done the sooner we can show Billy." I grinned and bounced a little in excitement.

"Awesome Possum. I am so there." I felt Jasper put an arm around me. I looked at him only to notice he was still glaring at Ed. I rolled my eyes. Gah, will they give it a rest?

"Oh! You and Edward have to come over tomorrow night after shopping!" Rose gave me a look and I knew instantly that she was planning something. I am so in! I looked at Edward, pleading with my eyes that he would say yes. Ed looked at Bella for a moment before agreeing. Rose smiled a wicked twinkle in her eye.

"Great, oh and Emmett you need to come over too…" I gave Jasper a devilish grin, I knew I was going to end up teasing the crap out of him. He seemed to be reading my mind because his tongue slowly licked the center of his bottom lip again and smiled at me, lust filling his eyes.

Edward broke me from reverie. "Well then tomorrow is an early day for everyone…" I looked at Ed only to see his eyes were only for Bella. That was probably a good thing considering the looks Jasper and I were just giving each other. "Why don't we all go to bed?" Bella was giving Ed very much the same looks I was just giving Jasper. Gross.

"Yes, I agree…" She looked around at us all. "See you tomorrow?"

"Yep." I responded as my brother and best friend got up to leave arm in arm. I was pretty sure that I was going to be at the condo alone tonight. Well, you don't have to sleep alone. My mind shot at me as I noticed that Jasper was still staring at me. I grabbed his hand and our fingers intertwined. I don't know what exchange Emmett and Rose had, but all of a sudden he picked her up and ran, carrying her fireman style out of the restaurant. I turned back to Jasper and bit my lip, looking up through my lashes, "I can tell Ed is gonna stay over at your house...will you stay with me?" Jasper smiled at me warmly.

"You don't have to ask me twice, sweetheart." I smiled at him and kissed me firmly for a moment before getting up.

- - -

"Make yourself at home, I'm gonna get ready for bed okay?" I went into my closet and started to grab my pajamas, until I noticed that Jasper's white dress shirt was still folded up on top of my shoe island. Hmm. Well, that could be hot. I found myself thinking as I grabbed a pair of white cotton boy-shorts and the dress shirt before going into the bathroom. I carefully washed off all my makeup and put the clothes on, checking myself out in the mirror to make sure I looked good. Then walked back out to Jasper sitting up against my head board, watching MTV of all things wearing just his blue plaid boxers. At least they don't have banana's on them this time.

He looked over at me and after looking me up and down, smirked. "I see you've been taking good care of my shirt," I smiled a small half smile before climbing onto the bed and straddling him. His hands slid to my hips and his eyes locked onto mine.

"Well, you hardly use it. I figured it looks good on me, so I figure why not wear it?" I smiled at him cheekily. His hands moved to the front of my shirt and started to unbutton it, his eyes watching his hands move down the row of buttons.

"True, but I think it looks best like this," he slid the shirt open and I moaned as his hands started to caress my abdomen. He stopped abruptly and my eyes snapped open to look at him, I saw him looking at my chest. Fuck, I forgot, damn bite marks. I grabbed his face and forced him to look at me. The expression on his face was remorseful.

"What's on your mind, Jazz?" I whispered. He looked down and gently touched the two places he bit me. I knew the one on my breast was the worst of the two, that one had actually needed a band-aid and made me reconsider that whole vampire idea I had thought after the first night.

"That I'm an asshole," I scoffed. It was true at least 80 percent of the time, but he really shouldn't be beating himself up about it, last Sunday he had apologized profusely and I forgave him. Really and truly, I was over it.

"Well yeah you are," his eyes snapped back up to mine again and he opened his mouth a little to speak, but I gave him a look that stopped him. "But I kind of understand. You were angry, upset and a wee bit out of your head, so it's not that big of a deal. You ever do it again and it's a different story, but you already apologized and I already forgave you so can we just be done with it?" He sighed and nodded.

"It was still unacceptable of me to react the way I did…" I rolled my eyes and sighed. Distract him, I thought. I tilted my head and looked into his eyes again biting my lip as I smiled playfully.

"Jazz-pur." I purred. He looked at me with a small smile. "Wanna play hide the sausage?" His eyes widened and his mouth dropped open. Good job, Alice, you just made him go into shock! I scolded myself. Just as I was about to tell him I was kidding he regained his composure and smiled wickedly at me.

"Well I was thinking more hide the salami," he pulled me closer to him and smirked down at me. I scowled playfully at him.

"Whatever you want to call it." He laughed then, his eyes sparkling with happiness again. The sparkle that always made my heart thump a little too loudly.

"What the hell are we doing... just fucking kiss me woman!" So I did, pressing my lips against his. He forced his tongue into my mouth and twined itself around mine, my hand found its way into his hair and ran through the thick mess of curls. He pulled me closer to him, my pert nipples pressing against his bare chest, and kissed me more forcefully, his hands caressing my sides and back.

He moved his lips from my mouth to my jaw, gently nipping and kissing his way down my neck. I moaned out when he reached my collarbone and gently kissed the bruise from his hasty bite. He continued his kisses southward carefully placing a kiss on the mark on my breast. I bit my lip to stifle the soft cry that almost came out, the mark was still tender. His hands moved from my back to my hips, pushing me gently into him, his arousal obvious through the thin material of our underwear.

His lips made their way down my breast to the stiffened nipple and gently kissed it before taking it into his mouth and sucking. He took his time, occasionally swirling his tongue around it and causing me to pull his hair gently and moan. He would move to the other side and do the same, slowly make me crazy with desire for him. Ever so gently he took my nipple between his teeth and tugged. My stomach clenched and my back arched. I tugged his hair, causing him to break suction and I attacked his mouth with mine, pushing him against the headboard more and grinding myself into him. His moan was muffled by my mouth and he pushed his hips against mine.

I broke our kiss to stare into his lust clouded eyes, he smirked at me. "Wanna play?" I whispered huskily, he licked his bottom lip and pushed me so that I was on my back with him next to me.

"Yes," he drawled in my ear before nibbling the soft flesh behind the lobe. I closed my eyes to enjoy the sensation that it was causing and paid careful attention to his hand as it traveled across my chest, his palm brushing against the now sore nipple and sending a rippled effect to my core. I could feel myself start to throb for the intensity of the desire, he massaged the taunt muscles in my stomach and started to lead towards where I wanted him most.

I moved my palm from where it had been resting on his chest down, over the hardened abdominal muscles, gently running my fingers along the v that led to his now very erect member. I reached my hand down his boxers as he shifted himself making was easier for me to touch him. I wrapped my hand around as much of him as I could manage and heard his breathing get a little labored before he resumed moving his hand south as well.

Slowly I started to tug upwards as his hand moved itself so he was now cupping my sex. I heard him moan out as he dipped a finger between my folds and softly touched my aching clit, making me moan in as well. Fuck, I was going to need more than that. I opened my eyes and turned my head to look into Jasper's lust filled eyes. I tugged a little harder and watched as his eyes fluttered and he softly moaned. He rubbed a little harder into my clit.

"Jasper, please. I need you in me." I could feel my stomach clench in anticipation. His eyes studied my face for a minute.

"What about our month?" His voice sounded slightly pained, as if fighting a war with in himself to decide what was right. I slid my hand out of his boxers and moved my other arm to tug them down and pushed them off with my foot.

"It can start tomorrow." He cocked an eyebrow at me and continued rubbing my clit in a soft circle. The pressure that was building up was so intense that if I didn't release I was going to cry. "Fuck me Jasper! Please!" The voice that came from my throat didn't sound like my own. He smirked at me and leaned close to me gently touching my lips with his own as his fingertips pushed between my hip and my panties. He pulled them off so slowly it was almost painful.

He kissed his way back up my body, gently licking my throbbing clit once before he settled himself between my parted thighs. The tip putting pressure against my entrance, my body was tingling in anticipation. I placed my hands on his hips to try to coax him into thrusting inside me already, but then he reached down and grabbed my hands one at a time and pulled them over my head, our fingers lacing together. He gently bit his lip as he leaned down to kiss me.

Our mouths opened and the minute his tongue touched mine he thrust in and filled me completely. We both moaned at the feeling, and gazed into each other's eyes for a minute before we continued kissing and slowly moving, our hips thrusting together in a pleasurable rhythm. The pressure intensified as I got closer to my peak, he broke our kiss and let go of my hands to grab hold of my leg and bring it up over his shoulder.

When he thrust back in it hit spots he wasn't before and brought me even closer to the edge, my back arched and I moaned out. He groaned and started to thrust faster, the pressure kept mounting before he shifted me again so that both legs were now together and over that one shoulder. He entered me again I could feel every last inch of him and it instantly sent me over the edge and I milked him into his own release. He let go of my legs letting them fall apart as he collapsed on top of me, trying to catch his breath as I did the same.

After collecting ourselves he pulled me to him and started to hum a song in my ear. It had a familiar tune, but I couldn't quite place it. Eventually I fell asleep against him.

I was awoken by someone rapping on my bedroom door. I felt Jasper move away from me, carefully moving me so he wouldn't disturb me. I almost kissed him, but I knew he was trying not to wake me so I feigned sleep and turned my head to watch him out of the corner of my eye. He padded over to the double doors and opened it a bit.

"What the hell are you two doing here?" The door was shoved open and I bolted upright, pulling the sheet up with me. Bella smirked and after handing Jasper a bag, came over to me with coffee. I smiled at her appreciatively. Rose came and gingerly sat at the foot of the bed, sipping her own coffee as Jasper walked into the bathroom. I took a sip of my mocha and moaned at the taste. Rose studied me from over the rim of her cup.

"What?" She smiled at me again and Bella laughed a little.

"Do you know what time it is?" Rose asked me. I shook my head looking over to my nightstand. "Almost ten, sleepyhead. I mean everyone is already awake," I heard Jasper start to brush his teeth in the bathroom, I got out of bed and moved over to my closet trying to find good shopping clothes. I picked out a pair of black sweat shorts and a matching hoodie, along with a black lace trimmed camisole and pulled them on.

I walked over to the bathroom and spied on Jasper as he tried to manage the mess he considered hair. "How about just this once you leave it curly?" He looked at me as if trying to decide if I was joking or not. I started to brush my teeth as Bella walked up to the door.

"Um, I just wanted to let you know that you may want to hurry, Seth and Maggie are waiting in the foyer." I finished brushing and Jasper put on his socks and shoes, I slid into flip-flops as he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room behind him.

We walked into the foyer to meet up with Bella, Rose, Seth and Maggie, the latter two smiling smugly at us. I shook my head and stopped to grab my purse and sunglasses off the console. Jasper picked up his keys off the key-hook and Bella took hers. When did they start hanging their keys off the key-hook? I wondered momentarily before I met Jasper's peculiar expression. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"How come Bella has a key card and I still have to buzz like an idiot when I want to see you?" I rolled my eyes at him before reaching into the drawer and grabbing the extra keycard we had in there and handed it to him. "Uh… thanks," he responded dumbly looking at it oddly before shoving it in his back pocket. I ignored the inquisitive looks from our band-mates. I pushed my sunglasses on and looked at Bella and Rosalie, waiting for them to tell us what to do.

"Alright. Jasper you're going to drive the Jeep with me and Seth, Rose is going to drive her M3 with Alice and Maggie and we'll meet up at the food court inside the mall at five p.m. sharp." Bella clapped her hands together and marched us out the door I stopped to lock up and everyone went to the elevator.

During the ride down Jasper held my hand which I kind of thought was interesting, he would squeeze my hand and I would squeeze back. It was odd being this stupid and giddy around someone, in all honesty it scared the crap out of me. At the bottom we got out and Jasper gave me a lingering peck kiss that I felt down to my toes, he broke away looked at me a minute before smiling and walking away with Seth. Bella handed Rose a card and gave me and her a hug before following the boys.

Maggie looked at the two of us apprehensively. I took a deep breath and faced Rosalie, who was looking at Maggie in concentration. "So where are we going first?" I asked to try and break the ice.

"The spa." Rose smiled at me and started to walk. Once at the spa, Rose had a team of people treat Maggie, telling them that she needed a cut and dye for her hair, waxing, a general facial and 'the works'. Whatever that meant. Then for me it was a facial, a mani pedi and Brazilian wax. The last request made me give her an eyebrow, but before I could argue was ushered away.

After my special waxing I seriously felt like I should just sit out for the rest of the day, and decided not to put panties back on, for one thing I felt like my ya-ya was going to fall off. For another it was way sore at first, so I threw them in my purse.

After the spa, Rose took us to the mall, Maggie looked about as thrilled as I felt right at that moment, she had been through more that morning, but she was starting to look closer to our age. Rose took us to several shops and at about three p.m. we were pretty much done, we had made several runs to Jasper's Jeep to put things in the back and noticed that apparently the boys and Bella had done the same.

Rose texted Bella to find out where they were and we started to walk towards the Armani store. Once inside we spotted Bella almost immediately, she was checking a grey suit on Seth. I smiled at him, he looked really hot like that. Well that was until Jasper walked out, hair slightly messy, a scowl on his face, looking absolutely sexy in a black suit.

I cocked my head at him, lifting my sunglasses up and into my hair. I watched him get ushered up onto a platform with a three way mirror, and just checked him out. My body tingling with desire to reach out and touch him and kiss him. The salesman was making sure the suit fit properly when Bella said something to Rose I was too distracted to notice and Jasper whipped around, eyes searching for something. When he saw me he smiled seductively. I could feel my heart amp up in my chest.

I made a decision and moved forward as soon as the clerk walked away. I moved without anyone really noticing that I was gone, Bella, Rose and Maggie were talking about something I wasn't really paying any attention to and Seth was in front of another three way mirror. I walked up to Jasper and gave him what I hoped was alluring look, he smirked down at me.

"Can I borrow you for a minute?"
