Everyday Moments Of Perfection
A/N: Jasper and Alice play a little chess... ;)
Damn. She's feeling confident.
Alice sat with a playful smirk on her face, hands poised, on one side of the chessboard. Jasper sat on the other, his brow creased in frustration, his eyes focused on the chequered board in front of him.
After a brief moment of contemplation, his pale hand shot forward and moved a black pawn forward one space.
"I knew you'd do that," said Alice, laughing.
Jasper raised a wry eyebrow that clearly said; well, obviously. He sighed in resignation.
Alice smirked and quicker than a human could blink, moved a chess piece forward two squares and…
"Voilà! So I believe that's…twenty-three games in a row that I've won?"
"And you wonder why only Edward will play you?"
Alice pouted. Quick as a flash, the chessboard and all of its pieces were scattered across the floor. Alice had pounced on Jasper and tackled him to the floor, her tinkling laughter filling the room.
As her lips met his, she whispered against them.
"Checkmate."
