The sun had been up for hours, my eyes burned slightly from my lack of sleep. My mind was racing, I wanted to forget that nightmare. I looked down at Alice who was gently breathing on my skin, her hand was rested on my stomach. I ran my hand gently through her soft hair, she was so perfect, just focusing on her made me forget about how tired I was.
I looked up at the ceiling and sighed. I then felt Alice move slightly, I looked back down at her, her eyes were still shut but I could tell she was awake as she slowly started leaving butterfly kisses across my chest.
"Good morning" I muttered softly, Alice lifted her head up and smiled at me before leaning forward and kissing me passionately, I kissed her back with as much love I could give in a single kiss.
When she pulled away, she just smiled brightly at me.
"Morning Jazz." she whispered, I kissed her forehead and rolled onto my side to look at her better.
I rubbed my eyes as they still burned slightly.
"You ok Jazz? You look tired." Alice said in a worried voice.
"Yeah, didn't get much sleep that's all." once I answered I could tell she wasn't satisfied with my answer.
"There's something else isn't there?" she asked me, I just raised my eyebrow at her.
"I can tell." she said, her hand caressing my cheek and her thumb rubbing lightly under my eye softly.
"There just bad dreams." I muttered looking down at the mattress. I looked at her face, she still looked concerned.
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry." I assured her.
"If your not worried then I'm not." she said smiling softly at me.
"But you look worried, you have your worry eyes. You look like a worried little puppy." I said softly smiling at her.
"Woof." she whispered to me, I laughed softly and wrapped my arms around her bringing her closer to me.
"You don't need to worry Alice, I'm absolutely fine." I said trying to end the subject, she just nodded. We rested our heads on the pillow and looked deep into each others eyes.
"By the way, last night, wow." she said softly and kissed the end of my nose.
"I know, it was incredible. I can tell you liked it, you moaned my name very loudly." I said chuckling at the last part. Alice playfully hit my chest, I grabbed her wrist and leaned foreword and kissed her tenderly. Alice moaned softly into our kiss, and pulled away slightly.
She smiled at me and snuggled closer to my body, I rolled us over so that I was on top of her and started kissing down her neck. She giggled softly, I started kissing along her jaw line gently.
We disturbed at this point in time, as the door opened quickly. I rolled off Alice and looked towards the door, Alice quickly covered herself in the bed covers.
"Well look at you two." Emmett said with a big grin on his face.
"Emmett, there's a thing called knocking, you might want to try it someday." Alice hissed at him.
"Don't blame me, mom and dad sent me up to see if you two were awake." he said still grinning at us. I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks.
"Go." Alice said sternly to him.
"All right, all right I'm going. But before I do, I just wanted to ask if next time you could keep your voice down, Alice I could hear everything next door." Emmett said laughing loudly.
"Get out!" Alice said raising her voice a little, Emmett then quickly left. I fell back onto the mattress.
"Well, he's going to hang this over our heads until we die." Alice said, obviously not impressed, I was still trying to get over the embarrassment of having her brother walk in on us.
We sat there in silence for a while, Alice's hand grabbed my attention as she moved her hand down my stomach and to my thigh. I looked down at her and she smiled lovingly at me, I leaned back down to her and kissed her softly.
"Maybe we should get up." I suggested.
"Yeah." Alice muttered. We got up and got dressed quickly, I quickly wrapped my arms around her fully clothed body and pulled her into a soft embrace.
"Hmm." Alice muttered. I looked down at her with a confused expression.
"What?" I asked her, she just smiled shyly at me.
"I seem to have left you a nice love bite." she said giggling slightly, I turned to look at the mirror I had next to my wardrobe and examined my neck. And there I saw a nice little red mark, it stood out very well on my pale skin.
"Huh, oh well its not like anything bad came from it." I said looking down at her amused face. I gave her a quick kiss and then we went downstairs to the others hand in hand.
We walking down the stairs into the living room to find Emmett, Rosalie and Edward. Emmett smirked up at us as we walked over to the sofa.
"Shut up Emmett." Alice said as we sat down.
"Did I say anything?" Emmett asked mockingly at her.
"You were going to." Alice said looking at the TV, which was on showing the news. We didn't really pay much attention to it.
"Were going to Port Angelis in a bit, do you two want to come?" Rosalie asked us all.
"I'm going over to Bella's" Edward muttered from his chair, not taking his eyes away from his book.
Alice looked up at me, I just nodded to her.
"Yeah, we'll go with you." Alice said to Rosalie.
"Good, I need your opinion on this dress I saw for the winter dance. Jasper would you be able to take Emmett off my hands whilst we look?" Rosalie asked me.
"Yeah sure." I said nodding to her, Emmett just smiled at me. That meant he was going to question me about last night, I could tell by that twinkle in his eye.
About an hour passed before we went to Port Angelis, the journey there was pretty quick, and quiet.
When we did get there, Alice and Rosalie went to the dress shop, so that left me with Emmett. He looked down at me and gave me a mischievous grin, oh god what was he going to ask.
"Do you mind if we go to a jewellery store?" I asked him, he just raised his eyebrow at me. He then nodded and we walked down the street to a small jewellers.
"So, how did last night go?" Emmett asked me laughing a little.
"Good, thank you." I didn't really know if I could talk to Emmett about it, after all he was Alice's older brother, but then again he did seem very eager to give me that little present.
We walked into the jewellers, it was fairly dark inside apart from the dime lights that shown off the jewellery in the glass cabinets, I walked up to one that had silver necklace's in and looked for something that would catch my eye.
"So, why are we in here?" Emmett asked me as he looked in the cabinet with me.
"I want to get Alice something. Do you think she'd like this one?" I asked pointing out a fairly small heart shaped pendant with a small diamond in the centre.
"Uh yeah, any reason for getting her something?" he asked me.
"Nope, no reason, just felt like getting her something." I answered honestly, it was true, there was no special occasion for the present, I just wanted to give her a token of my love. Something she could look at and always think of me.
"Ok." Emmett said and then he walked around the store.
I pondered for a moment, thinking what Alice would like. And then I saw it, a small flat silver heart on a thin silver chain, on the front of the heart was a rose that was carved into it, in the centre of the rose was a tiny little diamond.
"Excuse me" I said to the store clerk at the main desk, the man walked over to me with a soft smile on his face. He was fairly old and small, with old fashioned glasses on and a tweed jacket and a bow tie.
"Yes sir, how may I help?" he asked me in a soft voice.
"I'd like that necklace please." I said pointing out my chosen choice.
"Very nice." he said as he got a key out of his pocket and unlocked the glass door to the cabinet. I watched him carefully take the necklace from the display and carry it over to the front desk, I followed him eagerly and got my wallet out of my pocket.
"Is that everything young man?" he asked me.
"Would it be possible to have a small messaged engraved on the back?" I asked him.
"Certainly sir. If you would like to write your message on this piece of paper and I'll have it put on straight away. Do you mind waiting?" he asked me handing me a small slip of paper and a pen.
"No not at all." I said and wrote my note on the paper.
I wrote.
Alice,
my heart is forever yours.
Jazz.
I then gave the paper and pen back to the old man, he read the note and then smiled at me and then went behind a dark red curtain.
It was very quiet in the shop, apart from a faint tapping sound coming from behind the curtain.
"So then, I take it things are pretty serious if your buying Alice jewellery." Emmett said as he walked over to me.
"Yes, I love her and I want her to know just how much she means to me." I said smiling up at him, he just patted my back gently.
"Ah, its great to be in love isn't it." he said softly.
"Yeah, what about you and Rose, how serious is that?" I asked him.
"Well, I was thinking about proposing to her once we graduate." Emmett said in a low voice, almost a whisper. I nodded, I would love to propose to Alice. Just the thought of spending the rest of my life with her made me feel warm and made my heart almost melt.
We were silent for a few minuets, until the old man reappeared from behind the curtain.
"Here you go young man." the old man said showing me the back of the heart. Emmett read the note over my shoulder.
"Dude, that's a bit girly." he whispered in my ear.
"Shh you." I muttered back.
"Would you like it gift wrapped or just in its box?" the old man asked me.
"Just the box please." I said, that way it would fit in my jacket pocket easier and Alice wouldn't see it until I gave it to her.
"That will be $89 please." he said smiling, I got the cash out and handed him the correct amount.
"Dude, how come you've got so much cash?" Emmett asked me.
"My mom left me a lot of her money in her will, that's one reason why my step dad hates me." I muttered to him , Emmett just nodded.
Once we left the store I placed the small thin box in the inside pocket of my jacket, and we then set off to go and meet up with the girls.
About two hours later we left Port Angelis and headed for home.
"So what did you boys get up to whilst we let you run free?" Rosalie said laughing a little.
"Oh not much, just wondered around the shops." Emmett said and looked at me in the rear-view mirror.
Alice was cuddled up to me in the back, my arm was draped over her shoulder pulling her closer to me.
"So did you have fun?" I asked Alice whilst Emmett and Rosalie talked about their plans for tonight.
"Yeah, got a few ideas of the kind of dress I want for the winter dance." she said looking up at me, and then placed a soft kiss against my cheek.
I moved my head round to look at her better and kissed her passionately.
Emmett cleared his throat loudly.
"Um, its always a good thing to not make the driver feel sick." he said laughing
"Oh shut up Emmett." Rosalie said smacking his shoulder lightly. Me and Alice just looked at each other, I winked at her and she giggled softly.
When we arrived home, me and Alice decided to go for a walk into the woodland area that was right behind the house. We walked slowly, with my arm wrapped around her shoulders and her arm wrapped around my waist.
The sun was shinning down through the canopy above us, the birds were singing in the trees. We decided to sit down under a large tree and watch the wildlife around us, my back was rested against the tree, with Alice sat in between my legs, her back gently resting against my chest and her head slightly rested on my shoulder.
We were silent for awhile, and a small rabbit popped out from a bush, he hopped across the ground slowly, stopping every now and then to munch on so grass, and then went back to hopping around.
I watched as Alice was watching the rabbit with great wonder, it was so peaceful here, and I thought that now would be the best time to give Alice her present.
I waited for the rabbit to hop away from us so that I didn't scare him when I moved to get the box from my pocket.
"Um, Alice?" I said, she turned and looked up at me and I handed her the black velvet box, she held the box in her hands and looked at me.
"What's this for?" she asked me, her face confused. She looked adorable when she was confused.
"Just for being with me, and to show you how dedicated to you I am. Open it" I whispered gently in her ear.
I watched as her fingers ran over the top of the velvet first and then gently opening the box. I heard her breath catch in her throat.
She turned and looked at me.
"Oh, Jazz" she said softly.
"Do you like it?" I asked as she took the necklace out of its box and carefully examining it.
"I love it" she said softly.
"Read the back" I said, she looked up at me and then back to the necklace, she turned the necklace round and read my note.
"Look after my heart Alice, it only beats for you." I whispered softly in her ear, Alice turned around and pressed her lips against mine, her free hand came up to my cheek.
"Jazz, you're the sweetest guy in the world. I love you so much." she said before pressing her lips against mine again.
"Here." I said, taking the necklace from her soft fingers, and I placed the chain around her neck and clipped it into place.
"Perfect." I whispered, Alice turned around and straddled my lap. Her hands gently resting on my shoulders. And she slowly brought her lips to mine.
