Simon was walking through Forks marketplace Jane had attached herself to his arm, she was basically giving him a half hug while walking. Next to them, Jasper and Alice where in a similar situation. Jasper was being effected by Simon and Jane while Alice was happily playing along as her mate was being far more attentive and caring towards her then usual.
After buying a few clothes for Simon and Jane as they were in their Volturi clothes, which were either cloaks or Victorian age dresses. Simon had chosen a black jeans with a white shirt while Jane was taken away by Alice, which surprised him but after getting to know her bubbly personality he couldn't help but think that maybe Jane was getting effected by her too. He chatted with Jasper about little things, how was life in Volturi, how he had developed a relation with Jane.
Jasper had told him how things with Maria had went downhill after Simon had left it had started to become increasingly obvious that a fight would break out between Jasper and Maria which would only end with someone dead. Luckily, Peter had come to visit and informed him to go to Paris of he wanted to avoid a confrontation so Peter wrecked the place a little bit which allowed Jasper to escape without having to confront Maria. In Paris he met Alice who had found him due to her precognition, she also showed him that they could survive on animal blood and had come here to join the Cullen coven where he changed his surname from Whitlock to Hale.
As they were talking Simon's eyes moved and got fixated on a blonde girl her hair tied in a ponytail, a little make up applied to her face wearing black pants similar to ones Simon had and a red shirt. Simon moved towards her and started to kiss her ignoring everyone in the shop. Simon looked into the eyes of his lover not breaking the kiss even for a second he thought of how everytime he would think he couldn't love her anymore than he did at the moment she broke it apart and made him fall even harder for her.
Alice smiled looking at this, obviously pleased with the development. Meanwhile Jasper was becoming more and more uncomfortable as time passed he had a hard time controlling himself with Simon and Jane effecting him and Alice standing next to him.
"Ahem. We need to go you'll have enough time to do your thing later on."
Simon and Jane took another minute to part from each other. As they walked out of the store he made a mental note to spend as much money as needed to buy clothes for Jane.
They walked around enjoying the mood occasionally making small talk. Simon offered them a blood candy he had made with animal blood when had hunted to make the wine on Aro's request. Alice looked ecstatic and squealed, "I was waiting when you'd give them." Meanwhile Jasper looked at the candy with a questioning look. Alice snatched the candy bottle and explained, "this is blood candy made especially for us from animal blood since we are vegans." Both Jasper and Alice took one and enjoyed them as they wandered.
On the suggestion of Alice they had decided to go to Marron Bells. According to her there was going to be something breathtaking there but she didn't reveal it as it was going the surprise.
The ran in the direction of their destination it was almost night when they reached.
"It's good we reached early. We can enjoy the view before seeing the main event." Alice said happily clearly enjoying herself.
All of them settled down on the ground. Jane placed her head on Simon's head while hugging his body like a koala with Simon arm around her waist.
Simon didn't look towards Jasper and Alice giving them their privacy but he knew they wouldn't be in a much different position from them.
The stars were twinkling brightening up the sky beautifully. The silvery white light sprinkled on the ground, since it was a moonless night, giving a perverted darkness to the night seducing the watchers with their beauty as they shone gracefully in the endless sky. The night's aroma filled the air, woven into a soft net, covering all the scenery inside.
"Oh it's here," came Alice's excited voice.
Just as she said those words the sky parted a bright light came forward formed by millions of stars forming a line. Even though Simon had travelled alot he had yet to come across such a scene which would render him speechless. He was looking at the milky way, the delicately put together stars shining making their presence known in the most majestic way, announcing their luster and singing their symphonies by blinking.
"Beautiful."
Simon heard Jane say.
Simon didn't say anything and just snuggled even more closely towards Jane. He was satisfied, in his arms was the one he loved the most who he knew loved him back equally, both of them captivated by the view infront of them and both wishing for the moment to last for eternity.
