Chapter 6: Just an ordinary morning-drama for Alice...
6. Nail Polish
"Jasper!" Alice wailed
"What's wrong?" Jasper said, his head snapping round as he detected waves of sadness, confusion, distress, and frustration coming from his wife.
"I can't pick!" She said
"Can't pick what?" Jasper asked. Alice held her hands up, palms towards herself. "What about them?"
"Jasper!" She wailed again
"What?" Jasper asked, studying her hands for a sign of anything that would cause Alice distress. She glared, actually glared at Jasper.
"My nails, Jasper." She said. He looked at her fingernails, carefully painted a deep indigo blue.
"Yes...they're very nice..." He said carefully
"Jasper! That's not what i'm asking you!" She snapped, "I can't pick which one!"
"Which what?" Jasper asked
"Which nail polish!" Alice said, moving her hands closer to his face
"But they're...the same, darling." Jasper said. Alice humphed.
"They are not." She said, "One is Indigo Ocean, and is shiny, and one is Indigo Sky, and is matt."
"Oh...they both look good." He told her. She sighed.
"I know they do." She said, "But even though they're both super-cute, one of them isn't shiny, and one of them is ultra-shiny, so how can you act like they're interchangable?"
Jasper laughed under his breath, and Alice was too busy studying her nails to notice. "Darling, it doesn't matter which one you wear, you'll always look amazing."
"That's sweet." Alice commented, "But i still need to choose."
She was looking at Jasper expectantly, as if he were the nail-varnish guru all of a sudden. He held each of her hands in his, and pretended to study them for a long time. He dropped her hands. "Ultra-shiny, definately."
"You think?" Alice asked, tilting her head, "I actually think the matt looks better."
Jasper resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He loved his little pixie, but she could be rather annoying at times. "Then wear the matt one."
"I will!" Alice said, beaming at Jasper, "Thanks!"
She sat down and wiped off the shiny nail polish on her right hand, and began to paint matt polish on it instead. Jasper watched her until she was done, and was blowing on her nails delicately. They were dry in less than a minute, and Alice looked around, a little perplexed, "Now i've got nothing to do. I'm bored."
"I know something we could do..." Jasper said quietly
"Great idea Jazz!" Alice said, "What colour do you want? Purple? Red? Turqiouse?"
"What..." Jasper's eyes grew wide when Alice started brandishing her nail polish at him "No, no, no."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Alice squealed, and she jumped across the room, and on top of Jasper, pinning him down. He could have easily fought his way out from underneath her - being both stronger and a better fighter than Alice - but instead he just whimpered at looked up at Alice with pleading eyes. "You're not getting out of it with those eyes."
"Ali..." Jasper warned menacingly, but Alice just giggled. Jasper would never hurt her, and Alice knew that.
"I think...Cherry pink." Alice concluded
"Alice, no." Jasper said, but she was already unscrewing the cap, and had grabbed one of Jaspers hands.
"Hold still Jazz!" Alice instructed as she tried to paint the nail on his thumb, and ended up painting a streak of pink up Jasper's arm. Quick as a flash, Jasper's hand came up and grabbed the wrist of the hand holding the brush. He flicked it round so Alice too had nail polish on her arm, "Oh, it's on!"
~o.O.o~
"Uh, you missed a bit." Alice said
"Where?" Jasper asked
"Forehead." Alice said with a wink. Jasper wiped his forehead with nail polish remover, and Alice giggled at his bright pink nails. She had won the mighty battle, and Jasper's forefit was to subside to Alice's nail polish.
"Is that everywhere?" He asked.
Alice giggled again. "Here, let me."
She took the cotton wool, and soaked it in more nail polish remover, before dabbing away at Jasper's cheeks, shoulders, stomach, legs...it had been a rather long fight. She smiled when she was done, "It's only on your nails now."
Jasper groaned, "You had to pick pink?"
Alice shrugged, "I didn't have to..."
"You are the most infuriating, maddening little pixie i have ever met," Jasper told her, a smile on his lips, "But i love you anyway."
He put his arms around her, and kissed her forehead.
The door clattered open and Emmett came crashing in, "Hey, i was looking for...Dude, are you wearing nail polish?"
Leave it to Emmett to ruin a moment.
Hope you liked it, and my nails are now dry - mission accomplished!
Please review, it is my birthday, and reviews are better than presents! ;)
