jasper's POV

My eyes widened as my hand shot to my mouth. The cashier in front of me looked at me confused and frightened... very frightened. My head went down, my hair covering my eyes as I did so just in case my eyes changed. When I peered to the side, Audre had her hand over her mouth as she furiously tried to cover her laughter. I saw as she then took a breath before she looked at the man still before us, probably too scared to move.

We were at the airport, on our way to catch our flight back to Forks to make it in time for Edward and Bella's wedding. I couldn't help but feel a little sad about our vacation being over. Of course, I wanted to see my family, and I'm sure Audre wanted to see hers as well. It may sound a little selfish, but I wanted to keep her close. I couldn't help but worry about her, even if I didn't have to.

"Sorry, so sorry about that, Jazzy here was just clearing his throat, sorry it was loud... he has a medical condition," she says, feigning apologetic laughter as she sat her hand on my shoulder.

I inwardly sighed at the situation at hand. I'd growled, loudly at the cashier in front of us. Audre had wanted some hot chocolate, so we went to a coffee shop at the airport. Someone had even walked past the shop, and had looked in, stopping when they saw Audre. They stared the entire time Audre ordered and was waiting for her drink so I got upset. Unfortunately, I let out a growl I hadn't meant to, and it was unintentionally directed towards the cashier.

"O-oh, okay, well I'm sorry to hear that. No need to apologize, it's okay," the man stuttered slightly as he straightened himself out. I inwardly sighed as I took a gamble with my eyes and moved my hair. I grunted a bit, unnecessarily clearing my throat as I fidgeted, trying to make it look like I was getting it together.

"I'm sorry," I said before I feigned a cough into my elbow.

"No, no it's fine, okay," the man sputtered. I quirked an eyebrow at his cheeks, which reddened even further he stared at Audre a bit. My jaw clenched, as I fixated my eyes on him. I knew Audre could feel my sudden tense nature and glanced at me. She stared confused, but I saw as it roll off her shoulders quickly after.

"Well we have a flight to catch," she told him with a small nod before she took my hand in hers and began leading me out of the almost completely empty little coffee shop to the way to the waiting room for our flight. As we walked, I turned my head to look back at the man.

A small growl released from my throat, one I knew he couldn't hear, as I sent him a fierce glare. His composure changed as he looked at me, flinching hard as he saw my look. He coughs and got himself together before he awkwardly walked off. I huffed in irritation before I turned my back to him, turning my head to look at the top of Audre's head.

Her hair was the first thing I saw, her hair that'd grown at a rate that actually kind of worried me. She had in individual twists that came about to her chest. It was pulled up in a bun with 2 of them framing her face. It was almost midnight, and she'd taken to wearing sweats and a hoodie to which she had a tube top underneath. We wore similar clothing of course since this was the airport, with me wearing one of her huge hoodies that she seems to take everywhere with her, even if it's a hot place like Costa Rica.

I smiled slightly at the warmth coming off her hands, letting her drag me away from the stranger. I pushed the small encounter to the back of my mind as I looked down, seeing our intertwined fingers. I beamed a little a bit, seeing the engagement ring on her finger before turning my head a bit to look at her other hand, seeing it hold onto her styrofoam cup of hot chocolate, still wearing the promise ring I gave her a couple of months ago despite now having a new one.
