"You dated a major league baseball player?" Jasper probes.

Alice snorts. "More like a bush leaguer."

Bella narrows her eyes and shakes her head minutely, but it's enough to quiet Alice and send my antennae straight up.

Jas won't let it go. "You must've dated for a while if you've got your trivia down."

"Long enough," Bella sighs. I hate the jolt of jealousy that pierces our earlier bubble of bliss.

"What did the crocodile swallow in 'Peter Pan'?"

"An alarm clock," Alice answers merrily, not waiting for corroboration.

Alice's innuendo continues to nag at me and inspire unwelcome visuals.


A/N: Oh SNAP, Jasper and Alice. You are putting a real kink in our lovers' evening (not the good kind, either!) Gonna leave them here for the night. XXX ~BOH
