Everyday Moments of Perfection
A/N: Firstly, Oh my Jasper! The response to the last chapter were staggering! I was grinning like a loony for the entire day. So thanks guys, and you might just make me faint with happiness if it continues this chapter.
Anyway, AnimegirlKiki requested Valentine's Day and I loved the idea. I went wild with the fluff. :)
Alice stared at the eggshell-coloured ceiling, her vampiric sight picking up every fleck, every brushstroke. She hummed tunelessly, twirling her fingers beside her on the red duvet she lay on. It was dawn, the sun just peeking up over the horizon. She felt soft kisses trail down her arm, and giggled. Jasper chuckled lowly, taking her fingers and kissing each tip. He leant over her, his golden eyes looking into hers. Alice touched his face with her other hand and whispered.
"Happy Valentine's Day."
Jasper smiled and put his lips to her ear. "Wait here."
Alice raised an eyebrow and Jasper left the room, quickly reappearing, holding a single red rose in his snow-white hand.
"Close your eyes." he ordered, whispering. Alice smiled, and complied. She felt Jasper's lips at the corner of her mouth, then on the tip of her brow, her closed eyelids, his touch so soft on her skin. She felt the petals of the rose stroking her cheeks.
"Jasper…" she moaned softly. Alice felt him smile against the skin of her stomach.
Alice couldn't keep her eyes closed for a moment longer. She opened them to see Jasper gazing at her intently. "You're beautiful. You know that, don't you?"
Alice rolled her eyes playfully, but Jasper's smouldered and his face came closer to hers as she sat up on the bed. "You are."
He touched her face gently and she smiled. He continued softly, "Everything about you is beautiful. Your eyes, your smile. This day was made for you. For me to show you how much I love you."
Alice looked touched and she kissed Jasper softly and then more passionately as she felt the love pass between them. Jasper felt the intense emotions building in Alice at his words, and willingly let them affect him. Alice brushed Jasper's hair back from his face and whispered, "The others are going to get up in two minutes and…" She screwed up her eyes in concentration. "Forty-two seconds."
Jasper kissed her forehead and picked up the rose from the bed. He offered it to her. She took it and held it gently in her small hand. She sniffed it and murmured happily.
"It's wonderful. Thank you, Jasper."
He gave a crooked smile which made Alice melt and chuckled. "This is only the beginning."
Alice giggled and Jasper caressed her arms, stroking from her shoulder to her elbow repeatedly.
"So…where's this beginning going to…well, begin?" she asked.
Jasper smiled. "Well…"

The sun was fading, and the stars started to twinkle, silver in the navy sky. It was twilight.
Alice and Jasper sat on the roof of the Cullen house, gazing at the stars. Alice had her head on Jasper's shoulder, and he laid his on her head. Their fingers were intertwined, and Alice kissed Jasper's shoulder, murmuring, "Today was perfect."
Jasper's eyes softened and he looked at Alice. "Today was how I feel about you every day…but with candles."
Alice laughed once and abruptly tackled Jasper, kissing him all over his face. He caught her small form in his strong arms and turned over so he was on top of her, and stared into her eyes, which were twinkling in the moonlight, which had emerged from the depths of the night.
Alice giggled, and they joined together as one, with the soft glowing moon as their only witness.
