Sneak Peek!

Le Gasp! a sneak peek? wow, how amazing! haha, now for all of you awesome people who come to my blog, i've decided to give y'all this sneak peek of Alice And Jasper. if you haven't read it yet, i recomend you do. it was co-written, with MayMarieK. she wrote the beggining and i have adopted it because she found she couldn't finish it. so here's a sneak peek of what's coming up in the story...

I couldn’t sleep that night. I know, it was our honey moon and I should be relaxed but I wasn’t. Alice had fallen asleep as soon as we arrived. Long day, I suppose. However, I just couldn’t sleep, exhaustion was hiding from me. I poured myself a glass of iced tea. It’s hot here in Hawaii. Of course, that’s where Alice wanted to go, Hawaii… very original honey moon spot. But I don’t mind it, she’s happy here, even from what little we saw on our drive to the house.

I walk out onto the porch and sit down on the steps. They end down on the beach. The view is amazing, I just want to drink it in and remember it forever. Of course drinking ocean water is bad but it’s just a figure of speech.

“You know iced tea isn’t going to help you fall asleep,” Alice says. I turn around and see her standing there with two glasses of iced tea in her hand. I realize one was mine. I smile, thinking about my tendency to leave drink I’ve just poured sitting where I poured them. Alice sits down next to me, hands me my glass and takes a drink from her own. We sit there silently, until we’re both finished. Alice picks up the empty glasses and goes inside. When she comes back out she kneels behind me and wraps her arms around me.

“Come to bed, Jazz,” she whispers in my ear and then kisses my neck.

“I can’t sleep, Ali,” I say.

“Mmm, we don’t need to sleep,” she mumbles into my throat. I grab her and pull her in front of me. She sits on my lap, with her legs wrapped around me. I kiss her hard on her lips. Her hands knot in my hair and we sit there. But I feel like we can’t do more than what we currently are doing.

“No,” I mutter, “no we can’t Alice.”

“But why?” she asks, pulling away looking hurt. “I want to, I love you.”

“Your dad… we can’t,” I say.

“What about him?” she asks.

“I went to the police station last week,” I say. I can’t keep it a secret from her any longer.

“You what!?” Alice exclaims. “We were going to go together, Jasper. After the wedding, after we came back from Hawaii.” Alice looks even more hurt now.

“I’m sorry Alice, but I couldn’t stand it,” I say getting up and pulling Alice off of me. I put her on the stairs and I walk down onto the beach. I look up at the stars and run my hands through my hair. I need to tell her what I found out at the station. She needs to know that he won’t be in jail for long.

so that's what is coming up. like i said, if you haven't read it yet, do. also, i think i'll be posting a sneak peek to Innocent soon, just for all of you who would rather be getting a sneak peek of that story. also, i might post a couple story ideas that i've been noodleing with. thanks for reading.
