It was a slight tick of her jaw, an almost imperceptible tilt of her head that foretold of the other place she had momentarily gone. The would around her became something of a foggy haze and the movie in her mind was vivid and real. Even in the dark of their bedroom she knew that Jasper could tell that it was happening. She could sense the tension in his muscles where he lay next to her in their bed. They had just been lying there taking in the sounds of the night that wafted in through the windows. And Jasper was perceptive enough when it came to her to know when she had a vision.
Moments later, Alice drew a deep breath and sat up in the bed holding the sheet to her chest. This vision was gone, leaving her in the dark with her Jasper. "I think we should." She said quietly, staring across the room in front of her at the large oil painting on the wall. Vampire vision made it easy for her to see even at night.
Jasper had been relaxed, truly and absolutely when Alice had the vision. He'd come to alert then, waiting until it was over for her to tell him what she'd seen. When she sat up, he followed, his hand resting at the back of her neck. "We should what?" he asked in a low, calm voice. He glanced at the painting then back to Alice. On instinct alone, he let lose a wave of calm, letting it wash over both of them. Regardless of what she'd seen, Alice could use an extra dose of calm.
In all reality, Alice was only as calm as she was because of Jasper. She tended to come undone and become completely frazzled when she was without him for too long. For a second she leaned back into the hand at the back of her neck and then she was off the bed. She pulled on one of Jasper's shirts from the closet and buttoned only two of the buttons at the front. It swallowed her whole. She grabbed one of his Fedora's that she had gotten him for Christmas and the day after Christmas and the day after that. "Are you going to keep me waiting? There are stars." And stars in Forks, Washington was a rare thing indeed.
"Of course not," Jasper said as he rolled out of bed and grabbed a pair of jeans from the foot of the bed. He slipped those on and nabbed another button down on his way over to Alice. He left it unbuttoned, taking her hand in his. "Lead the way," he told her, foregoing shoes. Honestly, the way she looked right now, he'd rather stay in but if Alice wanted to look at stars then they would look at stars.
Lacing her fingers with his, Alice led Jasper through the home, down the stairs and out through the back of the house to the back yard. As she had said, the clouds had parted in a patch of the sky to reveal a peek at the blanket of stars. Craning her neck, she looked up to the sky as her bare feet walked with a dancer's grace out into the dew covered grass, toe then heel. A few steps out she smiled and lifted their conjoined hands to twirl beneath their arms. Her head still tilted up, she closed her eyes and saw only through her minds eye. "Aren't they perfectly lovely?"
Jasper only took a cursory glance at the stars and instead watched Alice. She was infinitely more interesting anyway. He couldn't help smiling at the sight of her twirling beneath his arms.
"Completely lovely," he whispered, his eyes never leaving her.
She knew, even with her eyes closed that Jasper wasn't looking up to the sky and that his words depicted such. Alice had seen it in her vision. And what came next...
Alice turned to face him, opening her eyes to look innocent and yet bright-eyed up to him. "Do you know what happens next?"
Jasper looked down at her, shaking his head. "The future is your area of expertise, Love," he whispered, reaching out to glide his fingers along her cheekbone.
"You're right. I already know." Once again she lifted their joined hands and twirled beneath their arms. When she stopped, she moved forward so that the tips of her toes were over his in the grass. She wrapped her free arm up around his shoulders and bobbed up on those toes to earn herself another inch closer to him. "You kiss me."
"Far be it from me to mess up the future," Jasper responds, leaning down into a kiss.
