Hello people,

So, I haven't updated this story for a long time, well, not really. But, I've been concentration a bit more on BBL, but here's the newest chapter to Two Worlds Collide. This chapter is dedicated to my beta, annabethchase96, she's a really nice person and I'm lucky to have met her :)

Jasper's POV

I had rummaged already through all of my drawers and chests. Where was my lucky shirt? I had it yesterday, but now it was gone. A knock on my door startles me; I walked to the door and opened it with a smile, my smile becoming more timid as I drank in the beauty of my surprise caller.

Alice.

Alice's POV's

He just sort of looked shocked to see me there. But, thankfully, he regained his composure and gave a weak greeting.

"Hi" he said shyly, looking down. It was only then that I noticed that he was in his boxers and an undershirt. I bit my lip trying to stifle the laughter; he looked puzzled and looked down. He blushed and ran to get some pants. He looked really cute just then. I loved the way that he always stayed true to himself, not trying to be someone else.

"Hey" I said, breaking the silence.

"What's up?" he said casually. I smiled conspiratorially, reminding him of last night. He did too, whenever he smiled, it just about made my heart melt.

"Well, umm, I believe this is yours" I said, mumbling, I handed him the white t-shirt in my hands. He looked at me awkwardly and remembered something, he smiled.

"Thanks" I said, looking down. "For everything" I added, giving him a bright smile. He smiled back and I just looked at his calm blue eyes and he looked into my dark ones. I just saw all the truest essence of Jasper Hale, he was a book lover, he was a gentleman; he was more than his heartbreaking looks and his muscular build. It was then that I heard Bella clear her throat and looked over to her, blushing and I saw her laugh.

"BEFORE, you guys have another staring contest; I would like to know where Edward is?" she asked, chuckling lightly.

"Right here, love" he said, emerging from behind Jasper. He was clearly trying to comprehend all of this. He was dressed in jeans and a button-down shirt. "I was just about to leave for lunch when I heard your laugh" he said, looking over me and Jasper incredulously. "Would you like to go to lunch with me, Bella? Seems like these two are busy" he said, dissolving the quiet atmosphere between the 4 of us.

Bella looked at me, unsure on whether to leave me. I nodded and smiled encouragingly. She gave me the 'thank you, thank you!' smile.

"Sounds good" she said. "What about you Alice?" she said, winking when nobody was looking.

"I'll hang out with Jasper" I said boldly. "If that's okay" I added afterwards, shyly this time.

"I'd love to" he said, smiling. "We could go grab some lunch together" he said, he paused, realizing that he was just wearing an undershirt and he looked embarrassed and added, biting his lip. "After, I add a shirt and some shoes" I giggled and he started laughing.

"Alright you two, bye" Bella said, waving as Edward went out the door past Jasper and wrapping an arm around Bella. I stared dreamily after them, I dated before, sure, but no guy ever called me 'love' or wrapped an arm around me as a loving gesture.

"Uhm. I'll just go…umm…put a shirt on, do you wanna come in?" he said, moving aside so I could step in his dorm. I looked around to see their cozy dorm. A side that I assumed was Edward's was neat and organized, pictures of baseball players and a desk was beside the messy bed, one with a picture of him and Bella sitting on a swing together, I walked up to it and smiled, touching the bronze like designs on the frame.

I explored some more, looking to Jasper's side where there was clothes pulled out from the closet and I realized, he was looking for his lucky shirt, which was now on his really messy bed, the pillows on the floor, I chuckled. I turned to see his wall had posters of war movies and some paintings done beautifully. I saw a small picture of a horse taped on his headboard. I touched it, admiring the brown stallion's color.

I went over to his desk which had some books on it and he had a picture frame that had 3 holes where you could show photos; the first, was of his family I think. I saw a family of four sitting on the couch, smiling brightly. I saw Jasper in the middle of two women. One, a middle aged woman with brown hair piled into a messy bun with delicate blue eyes, no doubt where he got his and a girl that looked exactly like him, but she couldn't have the same depth Jasper's eyes had. The last person was a man that looked like Jasper, only older. They were in a cozy living room that was no doubt his home. The next picture was of him, Edward and another young man, rolling on the floor, playing in mud. The last slot was empty though and I touched the rims of the wooden frame. It was then I realized Jasper had been out of the room.

"Jasper?" I called out and I heard his muffled voice from behind the closed bathroom.

"Hold on Alice, I'll be out in a second" he said.

"Okay" I cried out.

I looked around some more and saw the computer table at the middle with files with home works and researches and more pictures of Edward and Jasper and the young male. I saw a picture on the floor and saw that it was a picture of Edward and Bella yet again, yet this time, they were sitting by a piano. I saw Bella smile dreamily. I touched the picture again; I hoped that this would someday happen to me, with the right person of course.

"He's planning to propose at the end of the year, you know" Jasper said, suddenly. He was behind me and I looked embarrassed, it was plain obvious that I was looking around.

"Oh. Well." I said, blushing. "Wait…WHAT?!?!" I said, my eyes widening. "He… Edward…" I said, speechless.

"Is proposing…" Jasper said, smiling and ruffling my hair.

"OH. MY. GOSH!!!!" I said; jumping up and down, in my excitement, I cart wheeled, right then and there in Jasper and Edward's dorm. Jasper slowed me down by taking holding my down by the shoulders.

"Breathe Alice," he said, chuckling and winking at me. "You can't tell anyone, promise?" he said.

"Of course" I said. "Let's get some lunch, shall we?" I said, grabbing his arm and we walked out the door. He locked the room and we walked in the hallways and everybody stared of course and I smiled slightly. We reached the campus courtyard when I encountered my 'group', they saw me and they all approached and waved 'hi'.

"Ali!" Lauren said, running up to me and kissing my cheek, I followed suit and kissed her cheek as well. Well, to be nice I guess. "Hey! Are you coming with us tonight?" she said, plastering a smile on for me. I smiled back, but of course I knew that she'd try to overthrow me soon, all she needed was to win over the 'crowd'. But then, I knew they would come crawling back, or would they?

I was beginning to think that it didn't matter anymore…

"Ali? Are you coming?" Lauren said, shaking me from my trance.

"Huh? Oh. Maybe" I said giving her the same answer as I gave Jessica. Lauren smiled again and she finally saw that I was still clutching onto Jasper's arm. "Who's your friend Ali?" she said, her face turning into the smug, flirty expression that I had grown accustomed to. "Are you a foreign exchange student?" she purred. I found myself clenching my fist and narrowing my eyes. Its called jealousy, genius, a voice in my head told me. I grimaced and I saw, from the corner of my eye, Jasper stiffening.

"Jasper and I have to go. Bye Lauren" I said through my teeth, gritting them. I grabbed his arm and we broke off into a slight run. Going for the campus gates, I led him to the parking lot where my Porsche 911 Turbo was parked.

"Where are we going Alice?" he said, when we finally stopped, panting and breathless. I gave him a smile and winked mysteriously.

"You'll know eventually, but I promise the food's wonderful" I said, gesturing for him to get in the passenger seat as I got in the driver's seat. I started the car and we drove away. I tried pushing away the jealous thoughts I just had, I didn't own the person, so why should I be jealous?

"Thanks…" he said, relaxing into the leather car seat. "For saving me from…" he said; a frightened expression settling on his face. I giggled lightly and smiled once again.

"Lauren Mallory, Class- A meanie" I said, wiggling my eyebrows. He chuckled and relaxed some more.

"Say, you wouldn't mind giving me a little hint on where we're going to eat?" his Southern accent more prominent now. I winked again and playfully stuck my tongue out.

"Over my dead body" I said, mock-scowling.

We drove in an easy silence for a while, nothing but the music emanating from the radio filling the atmosphere. I turned and smiled to myself, we're here, I thought excitedly.

"We're here" I announced excitedly, practically bouncing off my seat. I tried opening my door, but somehow, Jasper beat me to the punch and opened my door.

"Ma'am" he said, bowing dramatically and taking my hand and closing the door for me. He winked and led me to the door of the café, 'Danielle's'. We were greeted by the hostess who acknowledged me with a wave. I was a regular customer here and I saw the other regulars there too, they waved and called out to me. I waved back politely and smiled at them. The regular customers here were mostly retired men and women, just chatting and telling stories.

'Danielle's' was a family business owned by a simple New Yorker family, they passed this on from Henry Sr., who named it after his wife. Everybody here knew each other well and I felt myself around these people, I've come to think of them as my family.

We walked inside and I saw a table by the window, I grabbed Jasper's arm again and we chose that booth and settled down. I loved this café, it had that earthy, homey vibe that AND the coffee was absolutely to-die-for. I looked around and saw that the café wasn't that full, so I knew a waiter would come as soon as possible.

The hardwood floors, the comfy furnishing and everybody was perfectly content with everything that surrounded them. The spot I picked was my usual, it was where I read magazines and drank coffee, and it was a place I liked to be alone. This was the first time I had gone in here with someone.

"Why hello there Alice, out for lunch?" My usual waitress, Wendy, came up to the table. "Who's the friend?" she asked, eyeing him suspiciously. She knew I never brought anyone with me, well, up until then; all my friends were too shallow for me to actually like them and bring them here.

"Wendy, this is Jasper. Jasper this is Wendy" I said, gesturing them to each other. Wendy looked at me knowingly and winked.

"It's nice to meet you, ma'am" he said, polite as ever. Wendy laughed and put her hands on her hips.

"Now, now, you can call me Wendy" she said, smiling. Jasper nodded shyly and I couldn't help but smile. "So, what'll it be today, Alice?" she said. "The usual?" I laughed and smiled. My usual lunch was iced tea and the pasta sampler

"Maybe we could start with the bread for starters and I'll have my usual lunch" I said. I looked to Jasper who was skimming through the menu.

"Everything looks good. What EXACTLY is your usual, Alice?" Jasper asked. "I'll try that first" he said smiling.

"A pasta sampler and an iced tea it is then?" Wendy said, looking at Jasper. He nodded and she finished writing it down and she took the menus, "I'll be right back with your drinks" she said, walking off.

"Pasta sampler?" Jasper said eyeing me incredulously. I laughed and he blushed lightly.

"What? Not EVERY girl eats like a supermodel and not EVERY girl starves herself to death" I said tauntingly and sticking my tongue out again. He chuckled, recovering from his blush. Wendy came just then with our drinks and bread.

"Two ice teas and here's your freshly baked bread roll basket" she said, smiling and putting the drinks and food down.

"They have the most amazing bread here" I exclaimed, grabbing a roll and tearing it in half. "Want some?" I said, offering him a piece which he ate as well.

"Good" he said, eating some more and sipping his iced tea. "How come I've tried this before?" he asked, more to himself than me.

"Some great things come from unexpected places" I said taking a sip. "So, where are you from?" I asked meekly.

"Houston, Texas… (A/N:: Shout-out to Shelby!!)" he answered, relaxing in his chair. "What about you?" he asked.

"I've always been a New Yorker" I said proudly. "But, what's it like in Texas?" I asked. "I've never been there" I said, remembering his cozy looking living room and the horse picture by his headboard. Though, I'd never outright admit to snooping in his room.

"Oh, it's beautiful. My folks still live there, my dad still mans our farmhouse and my mom still knits on the rocking chair in our living room" He said dreamily and I saw the wistful and faraway look on his face. He truly did miss his family and from the looks of it, he was really close with his family. I longed for my family to be that tight-knit.

"You miss Houston" I said, stating a fact, not even bothering to ask. He gave a sad nod and looked down. I was pondering on how to comfort him and I tried to reach out to him, when I saw Wendy coming with the food.

"Two pasta samplers," she said, placing the two plates down. "Enjoy your meal" she said, looking one last time at the two of us.

"Oh…this tastes good" Jasper said, sighing in satisfaction. I smiled at his preoccupation and ate some of my meal as well. We ate in silence for a while till I decided to break the silence.

"Do you visit home often?" I asked, determined to get some closure on this topic.

"No…with all the homework they give here, it's nearly impossible to go during long weekends" he said sadly. I smiled and made a little promise that hopefully, we would fulfill sometime.

"We could go sometime…I wanna see this place that you speak so highly about" I said, surprising myself with my boldness. He smiled a beautiful smile which made my heart melt.

"I'd like that" Jasper said, smiling…

We talked a bit more about ourselves and our homes. We moved on to school and friends and all that. It felt comfortable. I was surprised when all the words flowed freely, too freely in my opinion, I found out that words that didn't mean to come out came. The need to put the walls up wasn't there and I stopped thinking and calculating everything I said altogether. I found myself laughing out loud at this very public place and I saw that guarded, calculating, "perfect" Alice dissolved and this, carefree, quirky Alice surfaced.

"Honestly, I didn't know you had a sense of humor" Jasper said, laughing and reaching out to ruffle my hair.

"Well, you thought wrong!" I said, playfully sticking my tongue out. I kicked his leg from under the table. "That's what you get for thinking I had no sense of humor" I said, narrowing my eyes and pouting slightly. He looked frightened for a fraction of a second and then he stood up, business-like and serious. He walked up behind me, towering over me and looking menacing. I cowered in fear as he reached down and…TICKLED me!

I started laughing hysterically and he kept tickling and I was kicking and thrashing about. I snorted and I immediately covered my mouth, frightened at what I had just done.

"Having fun, Alice?" he said and I couldn't hold back the laughter anymore. The diners in the café just looked at us and smiled, this was why I loved this place so much, everybody was friends with each other and they laughed along.

"Ah, young love" I heard an old man, Jim, say shaking his head. I blushed at this comment and I think Jasper heard too, seeing as he stopped tickling and sat back down.

"Oh my, well, um…" he said, looking down. "Excuse me a moment" he said, standing up quickly and rushing to the rest room.

My face fell and I tried to call him back, I internally slapped myself. What did I do?

I mean, everything was harmless, right?

We were just having fun…

I closed my eyes, trying to soothe myself and I breathed in and out. Get a grip, Alice! I told myself sadly.

So I sat up straight, put my poker face on and awaited Jasper's return.

And so, that ends this chapter :)

Don't hate me people.

I just added SOME drama to this so it would seem real…

I mean, they can't fall in love immediately, right?

But, in your opinion, are they moving too fast??

I need your comments and suggestions :P

Thank you so, so much for reading.

Have a wonderful day guys!
