Surprise

"Are you serious?" I asked.

"Of course I am. What you don't think I can do it?" He said, a slight spark in his eye.

"Please, you really think you can beat me?" My ringing laugh echoed in the dense forest.

We crouched, ready to take off.

"On your mark, get set…" I stopped. "JAKE! That's not fair; you started before I said go."

"Hey as far as I remember, you do that all the time. So why exactly can't I?" He teased. He had stopped midway.

It took me a second to reach him.

"That's because I'm the only one allowed to do that." I replied putting on the most innocent and sad face I could muster up.

"Nessie come on. I didn't mean it like that." His eyes were suddenly clouded with sadness.

Wow, overreacting much? I thought to myself.

I had been noticing for a couple of days that Jacob had become even more willing to do whatever it was that made me happy, if that was even possible.

"Jacob, I was just kidding. You still remember what a joke is? What's wrong Jacob? Please tell me."

"Nessie, I'm just afraid of losing you."

I had to look away. His eyes were brimming with emotion and it was too much for me. I had never seen Jacob so pained.

The shrill ringing of my cell phone shattered the silence.

"Hey mom"

"Hey baby, you guys done hunting?"

I looked over at Jake. He was smiling at me, but I could still see the pain in his eyes.

"Yea we are. Do you need us or something?"

"Alice wants to show you everything before she finalizes them."

"Mom, I'm really not in the mood right now."

"But baby, your birthday is in two days, and Alice won't take no for an answer. You know that as well as I do."

"Ok fine, we'll be there in a couple of minutes."

"Bye sweetheart."

"Bye mom"

I turned to Jacob.

"Nessie, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted that way. I don't know what came over me."

"Well Jake, it's ok. I know you're slightly delusional."

He laughed. "I might be delusional but I know I'm gonna win if I race you back to your house."

"You did not just say that!" I shouted and ran after him.

As Jake neared the house, I saw him slow down.

He was staring at something, but I couldn't see it until I was a foot away from him.

It was a Toyota Avalon.

"That definitely does not belong to your family, so whose is it?"

"Well excuse me Jake, but how do you know it isn't. Are you saying that the Cullens can't be reasonable buyers?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying. I mean come on would your dad ever even sit in that?"

"Hey watch it, nothing about my dad all right. Ok so you've got a point. I don't know whose car this is."

"I know it's not Charlie's and you don't have any other normal people visit you…"

"One question Jake, why don't we just go in and find out?"

"I don't have a good feeling about this Ness."

"You have to seriously stop with all this overreacting. Like really."

"You're right. I mean it's probably nothing."

"Right so can we go in now?"

We walked into the house. I could hear my dad speaking to someone upstairs in the study. No wait, everyone was in the study, not just my dad. We went up the stairs and Jacob opened the door

He was there, that guy with the impossibly rich dark brown skin, black braided hair and eyes the color of warm teak. It took me some time to figure out what he was saying to me in his clear, warm voice,

"Surprise!"
