Chapter 16: The Cullens celebrate Saint Patrick's day :)

16. Shamrock Kisses

Jasper laughed as Alice examined herself in front of the mirror. He loved his wife, but this year she'd gone a little over the top with her outfit. She was wearing a bright green dress, fastened around the middle with a thin black belt, matching green shoes, black fishnet tights, and a cropped black blazer. She had green bangles on her wrist, and a four leaf clover charm on her necklace. Shamrock was laced into her ebony black hair, and green body glitter was sprinkled all over her skin. Her fingernails were painted green with an intricate shamrock design that had taken her ages to perfect, and she wore green eye shadow. The thing that stood out the most was her bright red lipstick.

She turned around and bounded over to where Jasper was sat on the bed, watching her. She beamed at him, "I'm so excited Jazz!"

"You're always excited." Jasper told her with a crooked smile.

"But today I'm extra extra excited!" Alice argued, pulling Jasper up so he was standing. She frowned. "You're not wearing any green." A wicked grin crossed her face and she reached round and pinched Jasper's butt. "Sorry, rules are rules."

Jasper smirked at her, "Because you always follow the rules, don't you?"

Alice stuck her tongue out at him. She disappeared and in a flash she was back with a green tie. She hung it round Jasper's neck and began tying it for him, "Last year you wore a green shirt."

"Last year you tackled me to the ground and forced my arms through the sleeves." Jasper commented as Alice straightened the tie. A smile tugged at her lips at the memory, but she kept a straight face.

"No one gets to pinch your butt except me." She told him, smoothing out the tie and finally looking up at Jasper, who was grinning down at her.

"Is that so?" He asked

"Uh-huh." Alice said

"I guess I can live with that." He said, bending down and kissing the edge of her mouth - he knew by now to avoid the lipstick.

"Come on, I want to show you how I decorated!" Alice said, tugging at his hand. He let his wife lead him downstairs and past the living room - which was covered in green streamers, glitter, and banners - and out into the yard. Green and white fairylights were strung from every tree, lighting up the garden, and green tinsel and streamers were hung everywhere. Alice had hung lanterns around the main area, where there were green-themed food and drinks for Bella and her guests, and bright green helium-filled balloons were tied in bunches. She'd gone over the top as always.

Alice kept pulling Jasper past the main area and down through the forest. More fairylights and lanterns created a path through the trees and led them down to the river. Both sides of the river were lit up with more lights, but the gaudy balloons and streamers had been left behind in the main party area. The whole atmosphere was like something out of a fairytale. And then Jasper looked down, and he couldn't help laughing. The river below them ran bright green.

"What do you think?" Alice asked. Jasper pulled her close to him and she stood on tip toes to be closer to him.

"I think it's perfect." He said, kissing her lightly on the nose. He leaned down to kiss her again, when she pulled away.

"People are going to start arriving in 1 minute and 24 seconds." She told him

"1 minute and 24 seconds, hu?" Jasper asked, pulling her close again.

~o.O.o~

"Bella I don't think you should drink any more, love." Edward said, pulling yet another bright green shot out of Bella's grasp.

"Relax, Edward." Alice told him, replacing the drink before Bella could start whimpering, "It's Saint Patrick's day! Besides, she's going to be fine!"

"Alice, I love you babe!" Bella drawled. Alice shot her a look.

"I don't think she's ever said 'babe' in her life." She said, a smile playing at her lips, "Drunk Bella is fun!"

Edward was just glaring at Alice.

"Alice!" A human was calling her name. She turned to see a boy walking towards her. One of Bella's friends, Alice vaguely remembered. He was quite obviously drunk, as was the girl that he had his arm around. "Great party, Alice! We're gunna...uh...leave now."

"Glad you enjoyed the party." Alice said with a smile as the boy and girl stumbled away.

"You've unleashed evil on the small town of Forks." Emmett said, appearing beside Alice, "There are drunk kids stumbling off in all directions, off to do god knows what!"

"You don't want to know what they're thinking." Edward said, watching the humans with distaste

"Oh, let them have fun!" Alice said, scowling at her brothers, "It's Saint Patrick's day!"

"That seems to be your motto of the night." Edward commented, "Any excuse for a party."

Alice's scowl deepened, "Bella's having fun! Have you ever seen Bella enjoy a party?"

"I've never seen Bella drunk off her head either." Emmett added, helpfully.

"Oh, whatever!" Alice said, catching Bella's glass the split second it fell from her grasp, "Everything's going to be fine, okay? I've already seen it!"

Edward and Emmett looked doubtful, so Alice stalked off into the party in search of Jasper. He appreciated the party. Or, if he didn't, he at least pretended to. A quick scan of the main area told Alice that Jasper wasn't there. She headed down the lit path towards the river, where she knew Jasper would be. She passed a few teenage couples doing questionable things in the darkness of the trees, but apart from that the forest was empty. She came out by the river and saw Jasper standing right by the edge, looking down into the green water.

Knowing there were no humans that would be able to see them, Alice ran at vampire speed towards Jasper and jumped onto his back, crashing into him with a force that would have knocked him over if he weren't as strong as a statue. He turned his head and smiled at Alice as she kissed his cheek lightly. He looked down at the water, a wicked grin on his face.

Alice foresaw what he was planning a second too late as he wrapped his arms around her legs, trapping her to him, and jumped downwards towards the water. Alice shrieked, "Jasper, no!" They landed in the water, green splashing around them as Alice shrieked and tried to pull away from Jasper. "I swear Jasper Hale, if you've ruined my dress-"

"What harm is a little green water going to do to a green dress?" Jasper cut her off, pulling her round to face him. She scowled at him, examining her dress, "I'll buy you a new one."

That made Alice happier. She smiled at Jasper, and splashed green water at him. "I can't believe you did that."

"Gotta have a bit of fun on Saint Patrick's day." Jasper told her with a smirk

"I suppose we do." Alice said, standing up on tip toes. She still could not reach Jasper's lips and he laughed and bent down to close the distance between them.

"You're so short...and green." Jasper commented, "Like a leprechaun."

"Excuse me?" Alice asked, narrowing her eyes at Jasper accusingly. Jasper chuckled.

"My little leprechaun." He mused. He pulled some of the shamrock from Alice's hair as she batted at his hands. He fiddled with the shamrock, switching it between his fingers as he watched Alice's reaction. "Maybe you'll bring me luck."

"Maybe I will." Alice said slowly, jumping up and wrapping her legs around Jasper so that she could reach up and kiss him properly.

~o.O.o~

A groan came from the floor and Bella's pale hand clutched at the coffee table, pulling herself up. Alice was splayed out on Jasper's chest on the sofa, and she opened her eyes to watch Bella. Rosalie and Emmett were collapsed on the armchair, and Edward was led on the floor next to Bella. At some point last night, they had moved the party inside to the living room, and they'd all crashed on the furniture once Bella had fallen asleep.

"I am never drinking again." Bella whimpered, clutching her head, "What happened last night?"

Alice and Jasper shared a look, and Alice couldn't help giggling at the red lipstick that was smudged over his face.

"I told you she'd regret this." Edward shot Alice a look

"I knew perfectly well what would happen!" Alice told him, "I thought you wanted her to have human experiences?"

Edward grimaced and looked down to where Bella was running her hands through her hair. Bella managed a smile, "I'm fine."

"See, she's fine." Alice said, and she turned back to Jasper, "Last night was fun, right?"

"Definitely." Jasper said. Alice grinned and wiped some red from the corner of Jasper's mouth.

"Definitely." She repeated

Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone :) :) Let me know what you thought :)
