    Chapter 4

    Alice couldnt have been happier to see Jasper in New York.

    They ran at each other like in those old movies, hugging and

    kissing. I smiled at them from a distance. They were still madly in

    love after all the years together. You could say they were newly

    weds the way they acted.

    Jasper noticed me and opened his arms up to me. I grinned

    and launched my arms around him. It was nice to see that Jasper

    had controlled his thirst from the last unfortunate visit. He didnt

    seem that distant too without the family over crowding him. He

    was very talkative like Alice. The only difference was that he was

    actually calm. Alice was practically bouncing off the walls.

    The airplane was moving our luggage onto the next flight.

    They connected so there was no need to get it. Jasper was in for on

    surprise when he would see the three bags Alice packed. I had left

    a space empty in my duffle bag because I had a feeling Alice

    would buy me clothes where ever we went.

    The next flight was in an hour. I went snooping around in a

    bookstore while Alice and Jasper sat down at the gate. Being on

    time was very important to Alice. I browsed the section of new

    books. I had no idea where to start on the big shelf. There was

    movement beside me, and I looked over to see a boy.

    He had short brown hair and brown eyes. His nose was

    slightly unsymmetrical and his fully lips were too pouty. He

    reached for a book in front of me and I stepped back to get out of

    the way. He took the book and stared at the one I had in my hands.

    He and I locked eyes.

    So, you like horror? He asked.Uh, I looked down at the cover. I had no idea what it was.

    I was just searching for something to read on the plane ride. I

    admitted.

    He nodded. He grabbed a book and handed it to me. It

    seemed like a drama romance. This ones good. Ive read it about

    a hundred times. He smiled.

    You read a lot?

    Well, yeah. He brushed back his hair nervously. Hmm, it

    was nice to know I wasnt the only one shy here. Its really the

    only thing I do. I dont play sports.

    Neither do I. What is your favorite book?I had never really wanted to get to know a boy before (Well,

    there was one I will not mention). This boy could be a possible

    friend.

    He laughed slash groaned. Thats hard to say. I love the

    classics, but there are a few decent writers these days.

    I agree. Favorite classic? I asked as we walked to the

    register to pay for the books.

    Umm, Wuthering Heights. The lady at the counter rung

    him up. She dropped the books into a plastic bag and read the total

    out loud. He thanked the woman and paid the fee.

    Wow! Me too! I smiled.

    We talked for the remaining hour left between us over a cupof coffee at the nearest caf where my gate was. His name was

    Adam, a college student visiting Rome for a project. Adam liked a

    mix of rock and pop music. His major was English and it was his

    sophomore year at Oregon State University. His dog that he shared

    between his two roommates liked long runs and hours upon hours

    of playtime. Our conversation didnt get far, but we exchanged

    numbers (Alice bought me a cell phone after many protests). We

    took pictures of each other for the picture when out numbers

    flashed on the screen.

    Alice and Jasper arrived at the caf the same moment Adam

    and I were hugging each other farewell. He would be a good friendto talk to. I waved bye and we went our separate ways. Alice was

    grinning and jumping up and down. Jasper was chuckling at his

    wife and me.

    What? I asked the two of them.

    He was so cute! Alice squealed.

    Jasper frowned.

    But not as handsome as you Jazz. Alice kissed his cheek.

    Jasper lighted up.

    Whats his name? Oh wait I already know because I saw the

    whole date! Alice giggled.

    It was my turn to frown. We were not a date Alice. I bet you

    have conversations with Emmett over blood.Jasper and Alice laughed.

    But were brother and sister. A boy you meet who is a

    complete cute stranger that buys you coffee counts as a date.

    Alice dared me to argue.

    Does he have a girlfriend? She continued.

    Not that I know of I trailed off.

    Yes! Availability! Alice clapped her hands together. The

    person behind the desk at the gate called for first class and she

    skipped merrily to the front. I turned to Jasper and whispered

    lowly.

    Is she going to be like this to every single boy I meet?Jasper made sure his wife wasnt listening before answering.

    Probably, but only to the ones she approves of.

    We both sighed. We loved Alice to death, but a person could

    only take too much of her. The flight was perfect. The food was

    exquisite and the book was really great. I may have to ask Adam

    what to read next. I closed it with a sigh and rubbed my hand

    across the glossy cover.

    Youre thinking about him arent you? Alice gave me a

    somber smile. She knew it wasnt Adam she was talking about.

    Yes, Alice. I bit my lip.

    Itll be okay. You can get over him. Hes just one guy.Alice patted my hand.

    I dont think I will Alice.

    Why?

    You have no idea how much I care and love him.

    **********************************************

    London in a passing glance was already amazing. We drove

    by Big Ben and the London Eye while seated in a cab. This was

    new to me. I had never been out of the country before. The people

    in London drove on the opposite side of the road, had funnyaccents, called a subway a tube, and still had those police outfits

    with the weird rounded hats and night sticks. England was

    completely the opposite of America.

    Jasper and Alice were used to the sights while we drove

    along, so I could only infer that they had been here before. We

    pulled up to a fancy looking hotel with white marble exterior and a

    name written gracefully on a plaque on the entrance. A bell boy

    helped us with our things and asked where the bags should be sent

    to. Alice told him the room number and he was off.

    Jasper checked in at the front desk and received three room

    keys. One for me, Alice, and him. We entered an elevator and

    pressed the top floor. The button turned yellow when pressed. Theelevator dinged when we reached our floor and we strolled out into

    the carpeted hallway.

    Modern art pieces adorned the cream colored walls. Some

    were bright and cheerful while others were dark and brooding.

    There were green plants of each shape and size around every

    corner in pots or set upon tables.

    Our room was the one on the very end. It had a bigger door

    than the others so I expected a nicer room. And I was right. The

    kitchen was spacious enough to accommodate a large group of

    people, two bed rooms (one for me and one for Alice and Jasper I

    guess), an entertainment area with a television, and a terrace thatgave a view of London in the morning before the sun rose, and as

    the sun set. I let out a tired yawn. It was night time here in London,

  • 8/9/2019 Before He Cheats 3

    7/12

    but morning in Washington. I should be awake, but all the flying

    has made me drowsy.

    The luggage was already in the sitting room near the door. I

    grabbed my bag and announced to Jasper and Alice that I was

    going to go to bed. They wished me pleasant dreams and retired to

    the sofa in the entertainment area. I changed into my pajamas,

    brushed my teeth and hair, washed my face, and went to bed.

    The last thing I saw was the book from Adam, and the first

    thing that popped into my head as I drifted off to sleep wasEdward.

    Chapter 5

    This is an amazing view! I exclaimed.

    Jasper, Alice, and I were in the London Eye, at the very top

    so there was a view of London. The Eye was a big Ferris Wheel in

    London that could take up a numerous amount of people at a time

    to look over the busy city.From here there was a good view of Buckingham Palace, Big

    Ben, and the fancy bridge that stretched across the water. Jasper

    had made jokes about searching for Hogwarts at the top. Alice had

    corrected him that humans could not see it. He then shot back that

    they were not humans themselves. This argument lead on for thirty

    minutes.

    There were boats by the water below. People were eating

    lunch on the boats or talking to friends from what I could see.

    From this height, people seemed to be half the size of my pinkie.

    There was thing in common between Washington and

    London though. It was very gloomy and rainy outside. During our

    visits to the sights in London five days ago, an umbrella or raincoat was an essential. Nothing I wasnt used to.

    Our first days here were unbelievable. Our first stop was at

    the London Aquarium. There were many colorful fish of all

    different types from the tropics to the regular cod fish. The exhibit

    that scared me though, was the shark exhibit. They kept giving me

    this hungry glance while swimming. I thought it was my

    imagination until I saw Jasper was doing it. I hit him. Alice

    enjoyed the little Clown fish and named them Nemo. She chanted

    just keep swimming, just keep swimming! over and over again.

    Our second stop was Shakespeares Globe Theatre. There

    were crowds upon crowds of tourists surrounding the stage. Iadmired the art structure that was a stage. I could imagine

    Shakespeare himself standing on that very stage. We saw a show

    that was played later on. It was A Midnight Summers Dream. I

    loved the twisting romance and the evil fairy Puck. It was well

    done by the whole cast.

    Next was the British Library. It seemed modern on the

    outside, but inside it blew my mind. The ceilings were ridiculously

    high with stacks of books upon books on towering shelves. It was

    one of the largest libraries as Alice said. There was art work of

    course on the ceiling with huge lanterns hanging from it. Men and

    women sat on long tables with reading lamps to shine while

    immersed in a book. Only if we had more time I could be readingas well, but Alice hurried from one site to the next at a dizzying

    speed.

    We had also gone to the Eltham Palace, Fitzroy House, Ham

    House, Neasden Temple, and the Piccadilly Circus. Jasper enjoyed

    the games and night clubs at Piccadilly Circus to my surprise. He

    was often so calm.

    Now it was our last day in London. The bags were packed

    and ready to go in the rental car below. Jasper and Alice came up

    behind me. They had gone off to a separate section of the carrier

    we were in to get a better look at the buildings on the other side.

    The Eye began to descend downwards. I sighed.Whats wrong Bella? Alice asked.

    I dont want to leave. There are so many sites I want to see.

    Dont worry, well come back when youre changed. But

    now, I want your human experiences to be good ones.

    I thought Jasper would be opposed to what Alice said. But it

    is inevitable either way. Jasper simply smiled and draped the free

    arm that wasnt holding Alice on me. I blushed lightly.

    And thats when shell give you the full experience. Jasper

    told me.

    Full experience? I said nervously.

    Oh yeah, well do stuff when humans are still asleep.Alices eyes glowed with excitement.

    Like?

    Thats for us to know and for you to find out.

    I huffed at Alice. I did not like secrets being kept from me.

    Our carrier landed at the bottom and we got out and went in the

    car. I sat quietly on the leather while watching the scenery. It

    would be great to come back soon.

    Carlisles p.o.v.

    I sat behind my desk in my office at home, searching for ane-mail for work tomorrow. I logged in and sifted through the junk

    mail. The sound of Edwards footsteps stepped out the door. Yes!

    Hes gone! Who am I kidding! I wasnt looking for an e-mail for

  • 8/9/2019 Before He Cheats 3

    11/12

    work, I was looking for an update from Alice! No one at the

    hospital had my e-mail address! Why do I have one anyway?

    I shook my head and went back to scrolling. Ah ha! Alices

    e-mail address appeared between a catalogue update and

    advertising company one. I clicked on it. I smiled at what I saw.

    Alice, Jasper, and Bella were smiling together in front of Big

    Ben in London. There were a bunch of pictures of them in

    locations around the city. I laughed at one.

    Alice had attracted a bright orange fish and was pretending tokiss it while it was facing the camera on one side. Bella was in the

    lower corner staring at Alice like she had fallen off her rocker.

    There was another with Jasper imitating a lion fish. His lips were

    puckered and his fingers were at his head, splayed out in different

    directions. At least the three of them were having fun.

    I went through all the pictures and read the note Alice had

    left for me at the end. She said they were having fun and couldnt

    wait to go to Paris! I smiled and leaned back in my chair.

    The family wasnt supposed to know about how I was

    keeping contact with Bella. Emmett had a big mouth, Rosalie

    would tell Edward as soon as she could because she never likedher, and Esme would want in on the plan too. Three people already

    attracts enough suspicion. I was going through the pictures again

    when I heard the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs.

    I quickly turned off the computer and scrambled to opened a

    file for work tomorrow. As soon as the door opened I put on a

    calm mask. Edward stepped into the room. I looked up from the

    file.

    Yes? I placed the file back on the desk.

    Has Alice sent anything back yet? I wanted to ask her some

    questions, but I didnt know if she would be busy. Edward

    trailed off. I knew exactly what he meant. Only he would think of

    sex as gross. The poor boy.No, nothing yet. Ill make sure to tell you though when she

    does. I nodded. Edward thanked me and walked out of the room. I

    filled my head with the boring surgical video we had to watch

    today to keep Edward out of my mind for a while.

    I breathed a sigh of relief. That was close. Ill have to open those when hes out

    hunting. I ran a hand through my hair. This was going to be a tough five years.

    I LOVED adding Carlisle in. Even though it was short and I

    promise to add more, I still loved it. I was going to give you a tour

    through the characters eyes in London, but Ive never been there and

    wouldnt know what to expect. I just really typed in the best things I

    knew. There will be drama in the later chapters, but still stay tuned if

    you like. Ive been on a major writers block lately because theres

    drama in my family. Thank you for all the nice notes and or comments

    and I try to do the best I can if someone has a complaint or whatever. Ido review notes and comments, so dont think I ignore them. Thank

    you!

    P.S. I will be out of town A LOT this summer so I will try and

    keep up and try to bring my laptop with me.
