Alice was waiting in my bathroom with clean sweat pants that smelt of Rose, my sleeping shirt, fresh underwear and the vodka. She held the vodka out to me with a solemn air, that alone was enough to make me smile "I'm sorry" she whispered "That was kind of my fault" I waved her apology away and chugged down some vodka, "It's alright Alice, I. . , well we, just kinda of lost it" she nodded, I turned on the shower and stripped off, "Can you put these in the wash for me? Jasper's pants and his shirt need to go in too" Alice took my clothes "Come down and watch a movie when you're ready" she said and left me to shower in peace for the second time that day.
Emmett, Alice, Rose and I spent the rest of the evening watching the lord of the rings trilogy and debating about elves being real and if so did they look like Orlando Bloom, coz if they did yummm! (Emmett did not agree with this, apparently Orlando Bloom is a girly man), Esme made me microwave popcorn and a hot chocolate so perfect I beamed at her, she was so motherly! Emmett only made a few vulgar jokes about Jasper and I 'doing the nasty' before Rose slapped him around the head and Esme gave him a stern telling off to which he responded in a meek tone "Sorry mum, sorry Emma" while I giggled at him, Alice did try to force me into a makeover, pedicure ECT. I got her to leave me alone by promising that she could do all that crap to me tomorrow if she let me watch the movies in peace, she squealed and bounced and the seat of the sofa clapping, Emmett hummed the funeral march in my ear. I did not see hide nor hair of Edward or Jasper for the rest of the night.
I must have fallen asleep on the couch because I woke up in someone's arms being carried to bed "Jasper?" I murmured hopefully "Sorry little Em, I'm not Jasper" I patted Emmett's arm "It's alright big Em, not your fault, you can put me down now" we were by the bed in my room, Emmett set me on the floor, said goodnight and closed the door behind him, since I didn't have to share with Alice like I'd thought there was no need for pyjamas, I stripped off and crawled under the sheets falling into sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I dreamt of Jasper all night.
I think the smell of food and vampire brought me to the surface the next day, my stomach growled and someone giggled, I knew who it was "Morning Rose, morning Alice" I muttered without cracking an eyelid, I turned onto my belly and buried my head in the pillows "Your senses are better than you let on Emma" Rose sounded surprised, I grunted in response still feeling tired, someone climbed onto the bed beside me and rolled me over, I opened my eyes, Alice. "Come on Emma! Get up, you promised that I could give you a make over today!" I pretended memory loss "Really, I don't remember that" Rose chucked my t-shirt and shorts at me head "Esme's made you breakfast, you're going to need your strength, Alice has a full day planned for us" When I didn't move Alice pushed me out of the bed, I landed on the floor with a thump "Fine! I'll get up" I got dressed and padded into the bathroom, I pulled my hair up into bun and washed my face, noting that I didn't look as tired as I felt.
There was a feast waiting for me in the kitchen, Esme had made everything one could ever want for breakfast, there was pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, roast tomato, roast mushrooms, breakfast sausage, cinnamon rolls, fruit salad, toast, fresh orange juice and coffee. It was mouth watering, I didn't know where to start "Esme! You didn't have to do this for me!" I squealed and gave her a hug, she hugged me back "It's nice to have someone to cook for, I love to cook but never really have any reason to" I poured myself coffee with lots of sugar and cream before sitting down to dig in. Emmett came into the kitchen when I was around halfway through my breakfast "Wow! That's alot of food for a human, right?" I rolled my eyes, taking a sip of juice "Yes Emmett its alot of food for a human, I just eat alot, suppose I have a fast metabolism or something" Emmett sat to watched me demolish the rest of my meal, mouth hanging partway open. I tried to help Esme clean up the dishes but she was having none of it, handing me another cup of coffee she sent me upstairs to shower and dress, "Thanks for breakfast Esme" I hesitated "You are coming shopping with us, aren't you?" She looked surprised for a moment, then smiled "I am now".
Jasper was sitting on the edge of my bed, he looked up at me, ratty hair, pyjamas, coffee in hand and smiled "I like you in the morning" I snorted "Liar, nobody likes me in the morning, I'm grumpy and I look feral" He nodded "I like that about you" the silence between us stretched out for a few seconds "So where'd you go last night?" as soon as the question left my mouth I felt stupid, I shouldn't have asked that, it makes me sound desperate! "I mean, you know, you don't have to tell me, I just noticed that you weren't around" the words tumbled out of my mouth, I closed it with a snap before I could make it worse. Jasper had a far off look on his face "Hunting" he replied simply, "I needed to blow off some steam" I knew how he felt "You talk in your sleep Emma" the far off look was gone, it had been replaced with a sly, knowing look, I blushed deep red and panicked. I knew I'd dreamt of Jasper last night, evidently he did too, I sighed "I know, I'd hoped that I didn't talk last night since Emmett didn't say anything this morning, how bad was it?" I cringed, knowing it was bad, I tend to be pretty vocal during sex, which was exactly what I dreamt about. Jasper stood at approached me, touching a finger to my blushing cheek "You look pretty when you blush" he murmured, of course this made me blush even more "If by bad you mean did you say very bad things, then yes, if you mean were they things you shouldn't say, then no. . .I enjoyed your dreams very much" I'd looked away embarrassed, he tilted my chin up with his index finger, forcing me to look into his eyes, the fire was back, his lips met mine gently and he took the coffee from my hand, setting it on the bed post, my arms quickly went around his neck and into his hair, he wrapped one hand in my hair, the other around my waist, pulling me against him, he deepened the kiss, I allowed him access and moaned, I didn't know how old Jasper was but he'd definitely had some practise at kissing, I broke the kiss so I could breathe. Panting I tried to remember what I was supposed to be doing. . .Showering and getting dressed, I think, the world slowly came back to me, "Jasper, we cant do this right now, I mean I have to get ready and your family can hear us and I mean, what about Edward? Yesterday was bad enough. . ." Jasper cut off my sentence with his lips and all my reasons flew out the window and came bouncing back through the door in the form of a pixie "Jasper Hale! Get off her now, she's mine for the day, you can have her later tonight" Jasper continued to kiss me and I was too far gone to do anything myself "You have until the count of three Jasper or you will pay" Alice threatened "One. . .Two. . ." Jasper pulled away from me with a sigh, ran a finger down my jaw line and left the room.
I stood there staring at the empty doorway for a few moments, fingers to my swollen lips, Alice clicked her fingers in front of my face "Emma? Hello?" I smiled apologetically "Sorry Alice" She frowned at me "It's not really your fault, you don't seem to be able to help yourself" She put my warm coffee back in my hand and pushed me towards the bathroom "Take a shower, I'll pick you out some clothes" Determined to get out of the house, I was out of the shower before Alice got back with clothes, a hair dryer and a chair. I got dressed, pleasantly surprised with the clothes she had for me, the underwear was my own, pale blue today, black patterned stockings, a fitted knit dress in a grey blue colour that stopped just above the knees and flats that matched the dress. She sat me down to blow dry my hair and do my make-up, as I had suspected Alice was a perfectionist and even at vampire speed she still took half an hour before I was declared fit for the public eye, grabbing my purse and phone I hightailed it out of the house before Alice could change something else.
