" Oh but Bella, everyone loves their own birthday! Its nearly the best holiday ever!" And somehow I knew this was going to be the car ride coversation. Alice wouldnt drop it for the life of her, or even a new one. It was nearly obvious were she was taking me. I knew that my birthday was important for her, for all of them, but it wasnt for me. It just didnt make me happy anymore. I was simply getting older while everyone else stayed frozen in time, as beautiful as ever.
"Please dont make me. why cant I just spend the day with you or Jake without a big party? Besides dont you want me all to yourself?" For the first time since I got into the car I looked at her. I could tell she was trying not to smile, but it was there. The corners of her mouth slightly curved up. She turned her pixie head so her eyes could get mine. " I do. " Talk about simplicity. " Jake will want to see you too Bella. So will Sam and the others. Either way you're going to have a party. " She sighed before adding. " Plus, Edward wants you to himself first. "
Well crap. I slapped myself mentally for ever being born.
"Plus, I bought a dress for you to wear. You'll look absolulty stunning in it!"
" Oh God, Alice! No! "
" Yes." My outburst compared to her small comply was dreadful. Well crap. I knew my wardrobe wasnt the best in the world, but it fit me, and I was perfectly fine about that. Leave it to me, to meet the vampire that has fashion as the number one thing in her mind. Every free weekend for the past two months was of shoes, and clothes. I felt like I was in an episoide of What Not To Wear. Alice cullen as the host.
Her soft huming let me know that the discussion, if you could even call that a discussion, was over. No If's, And's, or But's. And just like that, we arrived at my second home. The Cullen household.
Before I could even get seatbelt off, she had the car parked, turned off, and she was out opening my door. Her slim, cold, hand outstretched for mine. My hand slipped perfectly into hers; a smile just plastered on her face from the event about to come. Her thougths, I knew, were either singing some random 80's song, or currently naming every pair of designer shoes she could think of.
Edward, was inside, and listening no doubt. Only and just to see if Alice had told me anything, anything at all. Hints included of what was to come. I couldnt exactly see, but it seemed like Alice had rolled her eyes, just before I felt her smooth lips on my ear. Just sitting there.
I knew I shouldnt of enjoyed this action as much as I was, in the Cullen house hold. The house that held my boyfriend. My boyfriend that was..deeply in love with me.
" Just act like you know nothing, and pretend you hate it. No one will suspect a thing. " She giggled gently and I found myself having to hold back a laugh. She really had no idea what being this close, and touching me was doing to me.
Giggling again, she tugged on my hand, gently pulling me into what I thought would kill me if I had to put up with another one. My birthday party.
