"Wait, where are we going?" I asked for what felt like the 50th time but was actually only around the 10th.
"You'll see. Don't worry. I want to see if this works." was all he replied. That was more than I had gotten out of him the other times I had asked the same question.
I hate surprises.
We were running. Through the woods to be exact. Where in the woods? I have no idea. It all looks the same to me.
I mean, what do I look like a werewolf?
Sick of looking around me and trying to decipher Edward's cryptic answers I stared at my feet. That only made me grimace. Stilettos as usual. Or at least when Alice dressed you it was. I wished, not for the first time, to be wearing my old Converse that Alice had made me throw away after I became a vampire.
Grr, not fair.
Edward, hearing my sigh, flashed me a grin and kept running. I slowed a little, dazzled.
He was so gorgeous. Truly a God.
I sped up to catch him again, admiring the way the black leather jacket molded itself to his frame. He was more like a Greek statue of a God. Perfect and hard in everyway. I could never get enough of him. I frowned at his royal purple turtleneck and black leather pants. Although he looked extremely hot, Edward didn't usually dress like this. Moreover, he didn't usually try to match with me.
Or should I say, ALICE didn't try to usually match us.
I was also in fact wearing skin tight black leather pants and a royal purple halter top. Bizarre clothing for an even more bizarre situation.
WHERE ARE WE GOING???
Getting frustrated with Edward's calm avoidance of my questions, I glared at his back. Unfortunately, being a newborn I still got distracted easily, I just got sucked back into observing his glory. I stared closely at the way his shoulders formed in his jacket. His muscles like perfect sculpted stone. His hair was becoming more and more tousled by the wind. It's bronze color twinkling off of the twilight sparkles, made me blink unnecessarily. I glanced at the edge of his sweater peaking out from the bottom of his jacket. My fingers itched to take it off.
More like RIP it off.
I grinned impishly, getting ready to spring.
Forget finding out where we were going. I had other needs.
But then Edward's running began to slow down and I noticed the trees had begun to thin out. We had arrived in the middle of nowhere and all I could see for about a mile or two was a long stretch of pavement on flat clear terrain. I hadn't even known this existed anywhere near Forks.
How far had we run? I hadn't paid attention.
"Edward, where are we-"
But before I could repeat my question I heard something approaching at a VERY fast pace. I paid close attention to the sound trying to figure it out. It sounded like a cluster of purrs, if that was possible. Looking around I noticed flying towards us was a cluster of cars. With my new vampire sight I was able to distinguish a yellow Porsche, a black Mercedes, a black Aston Martin Vanquish, and my Ferrari.
I grinned.
The Cullen Clan had come out to play. Whatever it is we are going to play, I still have no idea. And what's with the flashy cars? Where's Edwards Volvo, Emmett's jeep, and Rosalie's BMW? Hmmm…
I watched as they all came to an abrupt halt about 20 feet away from me and Edward, sending up clouds of dust. My greeting smile quickly began forming into a frown as I watched each Cullen get out of their cars. They were all dressed similarly to me and Edward, black leather pants and colored top, but each couple was wearing a different color. Carlisle and Esme wearing sapphire blue, Alice and Jasper lime green, and Rosalie and Emmett blood red.
Almost as if we were being paired off into teams…I began to feel uneasy.
I watched as Japer's eyes flickered to mine as he felt my emotional waves coming off of me then to Carlisle as he greeted us in his smooth voice.
"Hello Bella, Edward. I see you are here a little early. I apologize for our tardiness, Alice was a little forceful into tonight's preparation and it made us run a tad bit late."
Alice stuck her tongue out at everyone and began rummaging through her purse for something. Jasper slipped his arm around her waist with a soft smile down a her. At first I thought she hadn't noticed, but then I saw her lean a fraction of an inch closer to him. Their relationship was so much more silent then the rest of ours, but nevertheless just as powerful.
Esme, laughing looked at me with a carefree smile and said, "Anyone up for some racing?"
I groaned, finally realizing what it is we were here for. They all looked at me with knowing grins.
More like evil grins to me. Stupid vampires.
I REALLY hate surprises.
