Chapter 22 Teaser

“Shhh,” Alice said to Claire who had a bad case of the giggles.

“Okay, okay,” she stated, muffling her mouth.

Both girls tiptoed out into the aisle and carefully moved down, trying to steer clear of Jasper and Seth. They had all wanted some fresh air and decided to hang around the Urban Light exhibit out front, at least for a little bit. The next thing they knew the girls had kicked off their heels and they were all chasing one another through the exhibit and now Seth and Jasper were hiding, somewhere.

“Got ya,” Seth yelled, jumping out and grabbing Claire’s waist.

Claire screamed and dropped her shoes, while Seth laughed and proceeded to tickle her. Alice grinned and tried to sneak around another light posts but ran right into Jasper. He picked her up and kissed her on the cheek. 

“Got ya, too,” he said with a smirk.

Alice laughed and held him tightly. They had had a wonderful evening so far. She smiled and nestled her head in the crook of his neck, thinking how this would be perfect if Edward and Bella were with them at that very moment.

“I think we should go back inside and check on Edward and Bella,” Jasper suggested as he set her down.

“Did you see how many people kept going back to his paintings?” Alice asked. "They loved them." She smiled, extremely proud of her friend.

Seth and Claire walked up to them, hand in hand. “That’s ‘cause everyone knows that Edward’s bad ass with some serious talent.” 

Seth dropped Claire's hand so she could put her shoes back on. He was having fun but he wanted to go back inside so they could all hang with Edward and Bella. Alice also started putting her shoes back on.

“Looks like you all are having fun?” a voice said, coming up to them.

Jasper turned abruptly, recognizing the voice. “Why the fuck are you here?”
