A/N: Thankyou so much to everyone who reviewed the last chapter! :D This chapter is fairly short, kinda fluff. Suggestive themes in this chapter ;) Nothing bad, it's only T-rated...enjoy :)

Chapter Nineteen: A little texting conversation because they may be centuries old, but the Cullen's still have cell phones.

19. Text Messages

Hey :) Jasper sent the short text to his wife as he discreetly hid his cell under the desk. He was stuck in the most boring lecture of his life in college, whilst Alice had the day off of school and was probably out shopping somewhere right now. If she was in the middle of 'serious shopping' (which was what Alice called it when she actually had a particular item in mind, and wasn't just shopping for the sake of shopping) then she would be too caught up looking for perfection to reply, but if she was just out having fun there was a chance that Jasper might get a reply and a release from what seemed to be an endless lecture.

Hey cowboy, what's up? Alice's reply was almost instant.

Not much. Whatcha wearing? Jasper text back.

Red. Lecture that boring? Alice asked.

You'd have to be here to believe how boring. Jasper told her

Poor baby. ;) Alice texted.

I know. What are you up to? He asked

Shopping. Alice's text made Jasper smile. Of course he'd known she'd be shopping.

Wish I could see you right now. He texted. He had to repress his laughter when Alice's next message was a picture. She'd quickly snapped a photo of herself sticking her tongue out and pulling a stupid face at her phone's camera. Jasper smiled down at the photo of his wife. Even as she looked silly, she looked beautiful and elegant. A thought struck him as he studied the picture. Thought you said you were wearing red?

I am ;) Alice replied. Jasper smirked at the phone.

Exactly which part of your clothes are red? He asked

Maybe I'll show you later... Alice's reply sent a shiver of pleasure rippling up Jasper's spine. Jasper now recalled the item of red clothing Alice was talking about, and he certainly wanted to see her wearing it later.

I love you, Alice. He sent the message just as his professor came to stand by his desk. It was only a small class and it seemed that Jasper had been spotted amongst the other students.

"Mr Hale, we have a no cell phone policy in this class." He said, holding his hand out. Damn. Jasper reluctantly handed over his phone and the professor walked away. As he reached the front of the class, the phone dinged lightly. Jasper froze. Please don't let it be Alice saying something...Alice like.

The professor looked down at the phone and his eyes widened in slight shock. He blinked at looked at the message again. Tonight, I'm gunna show you just how much I love you, dear husband.

The professor looked at the nineteen year old boy sat in front of him. Husband? That must be a nickname from his girlfriend, the professor thought. There was no way this 19 year old had settled down into marriage at such an early stage in his life. Jasper looked right back at his professor. He could only guess at what Alice's message had said, but he could sense the disbelief coming from the professor. He didn't worry though. After all, how bad could the message be? It was a reply to a simple; I love you.

Except, 'I love you' was never really simple. To Alice and Jasper it meant forever with each other. It meant marry me? It meant never leave my side. It meant I'll protect you. It meant be my best friend? It meant I'll love you until you ask me to stop, and even after that. It meant I can't imagine life without you. It meant I won't let anyone hurt you. It meant you're mine. It meant I'm on your side. It meant you can tell me anything. It meant I think about you every second of every day. It meant this is never going to end. It meant so much more than just I love you.

One thing Jasper knew from decades of living with and loving Alice; there was no such thing as a 'simple' I love you.

So, short but sweet? Or so short it's pointless? Let me know :P
