I ran a frustrated hand through my honey blond hair.
Out of all things, fighting newborns and leading an army, shopping for Alice's anniversary gift was the most challenging thing that I had ever done. I would always worry about buying the wrong thing, or the wrong style.
But this present was the hardest. It was going to be a surprise. I had not made a decision yet and had always kept the gift on indecision. Alice had not yet shown any hints that she knew.
"Monsieur? Pardon, but do you need help?" a tall blond French sales lady made her way over to me. She looked me over, her emotions digesting me.
"Yes. I am shopping for my wife." I tried to drop the hint. Apparently, she was as stupid as she looked and didn't pick up.
"Oh, I can help you with that. Right this way." the woman tried to lead me out further into the store, but I stopped her.
"Actually, if you wouldn't mind, I would rather see a major designer. My wife has very... Expensive taste." I said slowly. The woman felt slightly insulted and very annoyed
"I can help you with your needs. Besides our major designers are all booked at the moment. They only take special visitors."she said smugly. I sighed and then continued.
Amateur.
"my wife is Alice Cullen." I said simply and with a slightly raised voice. The woman was about to say something rude back.
"Alice Cullen? Please follow me, Sir." said a man who I recognized as one of the famous designers.
"And your name is?" the man continued.
"Jasper Cullen" I decided to use Cullen so it wouldn't seem strange.
The man smiled as he led me to a large padlocked door.
"Well, if you know anything at all about Mrs. Cullen, you would know that she loves exclusive one-of-a-kind fashions. I have several that she has inspired." the man said while unlocking the door. I felt a pang of jealousy. I could never design any outfits for her. She already chose my daily outfits.
"...This is the petite fashion that will be released in August..." he kept droning on and on about fashions that Alice inspired. There were some that I saw on daily basis.
"I need something for our anniversary." I interrupted him. His eyes widened.
"Oh, yes. Sorry, how about our famous jewelry collection? You can add add and remove anything from the design for a small price." jewelry? Hmm... Alice likes jewelry, right? I thought about all the times that her bracelets and necklaces got in the way and it became obvious.
"Yes, that would be great." I replied. The man smiled again and gestured to a large rack.
"These are next years styles. Go ahead and pick something. Engravings are ten dollars a letter." I said my thanks and walked over to the large rack to begin the real task.
There were hundreds, probably thousands of different jewelry pieces. How would I ever pick something for Alice?

After three hours of endless jewelry choosing, I managed to narrow it down to five different styles. They each contained sufficient room for the engraving that I wanted and were all necklaces. Each was unique and beautiful
I had even thought about buying them all, but that would make them each worth less to Alice. I wanted one. The most beautiful one. But would Alice find it pretty? She would like anything I picked out, even if it was extremely ugly, but I wanted her to really like this one.
A vibration in my pocket broke me out of my thoughts. I pulled out the little phone and checked the screen.
+1 Text From Alice
I furrowed my brow. Why was she texting me? I guess I have been here for over three hours... But I had told her that I would have been here for a long time... Nevertheless, I touched the open texts button and read Alice's text.
'the silver and blue one.' was all that it said. I looked down at the necklaces and sure enough there was a blue and silver necklace laying there. I gaped and picked it up.
'You weren't supposed to look. You ruined the surprise' I texted back furiously. I could picture her bell-like laugh.
I sighed before bringing it to the desk for the engraving and payment. Once it was finished, I left the building with a small black velvet box that contained the necklace.
I returned home only to be stampeded by my Alice who hugged me and kissed me.
"Stop feeling so happy. You should feel guilty after ruining my surprise." I chided her. Her emotions turned curious and yet still not surprised.
"Wait... What am I supposed to be feeling guilty about?" she asked me innocently. I shifted her in my arms.
"You know, and stop pretending." I muttered to her. She looked suspicious.
On our anniversary, Alice had insisted that I go first in out gift exchange. I carefully pulled out the box and her emotions of curiosity shot up. She was sitting in my lap facing me with her arms around my neck.
"Honestly Alice, you can stop pretending now. I know that you know what this present is." I muttered to her. She smiled sheepishly.
"But I still love it all the same." she murmured to me before leaning in to kiss my throat. I sighed and handed her the box.
"Go ahead then, you little cheat." I replied.
"But I'm YOUR little cheat." she reminded me.
"Stop stalling, love, just open it." I said, getting a little impatient. She sighed and opened the box as slow as possible. I rolled my eyes before grabbing the box lid out of her fingers and snatching the necklace.
I pulled it gently around her neck and fastened the little clasp.
"Happy anniversary, my little cheat."
-S.A.
A/N: so there you have it! I thought about ending it at the text, but then it would be to short so you got a fluffy little ending.
