"That was amazing, Ami. Simply great". Jasper smiled happily at her and hugged her tight.
She returned both the hug and the smile. "Thank you sweetie, it was so much fun being out there, thank you for believing in me".She had just done her first full concert, shortly after releasing her first album, and it had been like a dream.
Ami still had a really hard time believing that she was living this fairy-tale, it was like everything just happened for her now. H"Ami I got a really big surprise for you". Jasper came into his office smiling happily, his voice excited. She looked up at him. He had called her in the morning asking her for a meeting as soon as humanly possible. "Hi Jasper, you make me all nervous now". "Don't worry my dear, nothing to fear, only good news". He hugged her before sitting back in his chair. Ami was soon just about to go crazy, as Jasper was taking his time looking through some papers on his desk. "For God's sake Jasper, can't that wait ? Tell me what it is".
"Wow, first business class on the plane and now this". Amelia looked around the very expensive looking Malibu apartment she would be living at for the next couple of months. Jasper grinned and put his suitcase down. "Well yeah, they really went all out on comfort, luxury and style. I am not complaining though". "I think I could get used to this life, maybe I will just stay here forever". She said giggling, looking around once more. Jasper opened the fridge, it was filled and he grabbed a bottle of water. "Who knows, but one thing at a time my dear, this afternoon we
"Well hello Ami, I see you still haven't learned to look where you are going". Connor said looking down at her with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.Seeing her again brought him immense joy. Even his docile Wolf peaked up for a moment, whimpering the word ‘mate’ over and over. She looked up at him, her eyes meeting his, those eyes that were nearly impossible to escape and which changed colour depending on the light and his mood. Right now they were a chocolatey brown with green flecks. She sighed, of course it was him, typical of her luck. She hadn't entertained the possibility or maybe she had just pushed it far away.
"You owe me an explanation Jasper. Why didn't you tell me that all of this was Connor’s idea ? And for how long have you known ?" She had just parked in the basement. Jasper looked at her, his expression one of guilt. "Sorry sweetie, Connor called me a month ago. But he made me promise not to mention him when I told you. He was afraid you would say no"."And he was probably right. But I don't like getting played". She got out of the car, slamming the door a bit too hard. Jasper followed her to the elevator. "I am sorry darling. What happened between the two of you ? You seemed s
"Well you two looked kind of cosy". Jasper looked at her when she walked back out on the balcony. She sat down and picked up her glass of wine. "We had an okay evening and I hate to admit it, but you might have been right. We needed to talk about some things". "Well I am happy to hear that, maybe it will make working together a lot easier". He said, sending her a knowing smile. “It’s so nice when things run smoothly … evolves even..”. She glared at him and shook her head. "Forget it Jasper. I can see what you are thinking, it ain't gonna hap
"Morning Jasper, I hope you didn't keep her up too late". Connor said, giving Jasper a friendly hug.It had felt so good talking things through with her, even if it hadn’t been a challenge not to just declare his undying love.But with him in control and his wolf charmed he had a chance to do it right. He would not fail her the second time around. Jasper returned the hug and said grinning. "Nope, she was way too busy getting to bed dreaming about some man". "And then again I find myself hating you Jasper". Ami glared at him. Then she turned toward Connor. "
"What do you think about LA so far ?" Connor glanced at her, weaving through traffic on the highway. Ami looked out the window. "I haven't seen much yet, but so far I love it here". "Just ask if you need a guide… I have lived here like forever, so I know most places. The known and unknown". He sent her a sweet smile.“Only forever ? I actually thought you were born here”. She asked curiously.He shakes his head slightly. “Born in Texas, my … family is still out there. But I know my way around LA”.
"Please just shoot me won't you ?" Ami stepped out onto the balcony, where Jasper sat enjoying a glass of wine.She grabbed the bottle and took a big swing directly from it, sitting down on a chair.Jasper looked at her curiously. "But whatever happened sweetie ? Is something wrong ? I saw Connor drive you home"."Do you know that thing when you notice something, and then kind of can't see anything else, but keep focusing on that thing ?" She asked him.He grinned and sent her a questioning look. "Well yeah that might have happened
