Alice splashed water onto her face and looked up at the mirror. Then she straightened and whirled around, crying.
Jasper?
The blonde boy stood in the doorway to her bathroom, smiling. Hi Alice, he greeted her.
How did you get in here? Alice demanded.
Um, the window? Jasper replied.
Look, my brother's home so if you'd mind, Alice began to tell Jasper. Love your pajamas, Jasper commented, nodding at the pink panties, white tank top, and knee length black and white striped socks Alice was wearing.bThis is nothing compared to the lingerie in the second drawer of my dresser Alice stated, pushing past Jasper to get into her bedroom. I know, Jasper answered with a smile. You peeping tom Alice accused. I had nothing better to do and I really don't want to leave just yet. Especially after what happened the other night, Jasper explained. You listen to me and you listen good. What happened the other night was nothing. We had some drinks and canoodled but that means nothing to me so you can leave Alice told Jasper, poking him in the chest.
Why do I feel like you're lying? Jasper asked.
I'm not, Alice argued as she turned to go pull down the sheets from her bed. Oh, yes, you are, Jasper whispered as he came up behind her and kissed the back of her neck. Alice stiffened and turned to face Jasper, a can of pepper spray in her hand. Jasper caught her wrist and they struggled a little, falling onto her bed as they did. Jasper finally wrenched the can of pepper spray from her and threw it out the open window. They laid there, panting, with Jasper on top of Alice. Alice glared up at him and said through gritted teeth. You are dead. Most unfortunately for you, I already am, Jasper answered.
What? Alice hissed.
Yeah, I'm a vampire, Jasper told her. Yeah, right, Alice snorted. Fine, don't believe me, but you can't deny that you feel something for me Jasper said with a shrug. Yeah I do, I feel like killing you Alice cried.
Like you want to kill Gabriella? Jasper asked.
How?
Have you been spying on me? Alice asked, bewildered.
I told you, I have nothing better to do with my time Jasper explained. Great, so on top of being a peeping tom, you're also a stalker Alice groaned. Stalker is such a harsh word. I like to think of myself as your protector Jasper stated. If you've been watching as closely as you say you have, then you know I can take care of myself because, Alice said then began to sing.
It takes a girl to understand
Just how to win
She knows, she can
I think it's clear
Who wears the pants
What boy could stand a chance
She makes it look easy
In control completely
She'll get the best of you every single time
Thought by now
You'd realize you should
Never underestimate a girl
Gets anything she wants
She's never gonna stop
( You know it, we know it)
