I fell backwards on the lush soft grass, satisfied from a good hunt, and looked up at the thin crescent moon among many tiny stars. I heard Alice's footsteps. They danced towards me and I could see her silhouetted by the stars before she fell backwards next to me, but instead of staying like she was, she snuggled into me. I wrapped my arms around her and held her close, because that is where I liked her, close.
Alice and I had been living with the Cullens for a good year now, and we had been traveling together before that. She was something permanent in my life, and I never intended to change that. I sighed to myself, loving the feeling of holding Alice's body to mine, and the feelings of love and contentment that were nearly tangible to me surrounding us.
"I should ask her to marry me," I thought to myself, and my brain flooded itself with images of me on one knee with a ring, Alice coming down and aisle towards me, wedding cake, roses.
"Stop, stop STOP!" I shouted to myself inside my mind. Alice's visions! If I set anything in stone she would know about it immediately, I was worried that she had seen already, but I didn't sense any new feelings from her.
Okay, I had to forget everything I thought, tell myself that Alice and I will simply live here with the Cullens, and that nothing will change. This was difficult. When you're trying to act like you didn't think something, your brain just thinks about it even more. Whenever my brain gets an idea, like marrying Alice for instance, it goes through a whirlwind of thoughts that I feel like I cannot control, because if I try harder, it just becomes harder.
I had to talk to Edward. He could be very helpful in a situation like this one with his power. Yes, that is a good idea, I saw myself talking to him, I imagined what I might say to him.
But I had to stop thinking. Now.
I just wanted to surprise Alice.
Yeah, right. I don't think Alice has been surprised once in her entire existence.
