Everyday Moments Of Perfection
A/N: Alice gets a little bit distracted... ;)
Jasper heard the too-loud sounds of frustration and protestation coming from his and Alice's bedroom and knew it could mean only one thing; Alice was playing Barbie with Bella again.
Jasper sighed and smiled at his wife's antics. They were so different and yet, so in love. Whilst Alice was forcibly making-over Bella - and by the sounds of things, couldn't quite decide between the Cherry Bomb lipgloss or the Viper's Skin lipstain - Jasper was on his way to the Cullen's library to peruse a few of his favourite books. While Jasper was passing the bedroom door, he heard a soprano voice echoing from inside, calling him in. Alice.
Jasper opened the door warily, slightly afraid of what he would see. The scene inside was no worse than he expected. Bella looked – and felt – distinctly uncomfortable, and Alice looked – and felt – undeniably happy.
"Jazzy!" Alice cried and leapt into his arms. Anyone else who called him 'Jazzy' would get a severe beating, but Jasper just smiled wanly at the nickname when it came from Alice.
"You're happy today," Jasper commented.
Alice just smiled and softly kissed him on the cheek, and Jasper felt the slight surge in her emotions as she did so.
Bella also felt satisfied that Jasper had interrupted Alice's dress-up session. She rose from her chair, trying in vain to be quiet – it really was no use in the Cullen house – and tried to sneak out of the door.
She passed Alice and Jasper, who were still locked in an embrace and started to run out the door, mouthing a desperate 'thank you' to Jasper, who just laughed with his eyes.
When Alice finally released Jasper, and leant against his chest, he spoke.
"You do know Bella escaped?"
Alice just pressed her nose to his throat, inhaling her husband's compelling scent and waved her arm, drunkenly.
"Mmm…whatever. This is better than shopping… wow…."
Jasper laughed softly.
