"Come on Bella, tell me what the big surprise is already." Edward groaned while I made a left hand turn down another road.
I smiled innocently. "Nope not this time Edward. You just have to wait." I replied looking at the road the whole time. Unlike ihim, I couldnt afford to take my eyes off the road. Knowing me I would skid right away and hit a tree.

Edward smirked. "Please Bella. Just a little hint." He wispered moving closer to me. Immediatly I could feel my heart thudding against my chest. I still didnt take my eyes off the road. "N-no Edward." I knew he sensed an easy victory. I was always like that. When he wanted something, there was nothing that could stop him from getting it, not even me.

"But Bella. I am sure you can just give me some hint." He kissed my jawline and my heart almost lept up into my throat. I drove to the side of the road and came to a stop. Edward pulled back looking at me.
His eyes locked on mine, but I could still see the smirk in his lips.

"I am sorry Edward, but I can't tell you. I promised Alice I would't spoil the surprise." I fought against his undeying temptation.

"So Alice is on this to. Are the others?" He asked obviously amused by this mystery. I nodded. "Yes your whole family is on it and that is all I am going to say."

He sighed in defeat. "Do you know how hard it is to not be able to read your mind?" he groaned sitting back into his seat. I laughed pleasantly pleased. This had been one of the only times that he knew that he wasn't going to win. I started up my truck again and continued down the path to his house.

I glanced over at him quickly, then resigning my attention back to the road. He seemed to be deep in thought, trying to figure out what was going on. How silly he could be at times, and like anyone else totally clueless. I was sure he had tried to read everyone else's mind, but as to be expected, they kept it a secret. I couldn't wait to see his face when we walked through the door.

A few minutes later we came to his house. The same lightly paled house that I have come to call a second home. I stopped my truck in the drive way and turned off the ignition.

"Ok." i said happily, unbuckling my seat belt. Edward looked back at me giving me one of those grins that I loved best. The ones that almost made me faint for the first few weeks that I had known him. Heck it still even made me feel like that sometimes, but not now. The excitiment for the surprise party was more powerful than even that emition that he gave me.

"My house?" he asked, seeming still amused, but slightly confused. "Yup. Now come on or we will be late." I said hopping out of the seat. Edward was next to me in a flash, wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Come on Bella just tell me already." He pleaded. I sighed and looked up at him as he grinned. "Well let's just go inside then I'll tell you." i said with the most sensere sound in my voice.

"Alright." he replied sighing in aggrivation as he led me towards the front door. I couldn't help but smirk as I knew he was once again trying to read the other members of his family's mind, but he still wasn't getting any answers.

When we got inside the house I could see the decorations and such scattered about the room. Edward looked around to seeming to have a quizzacal look on his face. No one was in the rooms. For once the house seemed as it should have by the way it looked, old and abdoned.

"Is there a party?" Edward asked looking down at me. I smiled up at him. ""Maybe."

He thought for a moment. "But your birthday isnt for another eight months we haven't celebrated any of the others birthday since the early 1900's."

I smirked. "Well we have to change that now don't we?" As I said that everyone jumped out in a blink of an eye and stood in front of us. If I hadent been expecting it, I would have screamed or stumbled backwards at that moment, but I stood there with the rest of them.

"Happy Birthday" we all yelled at the same time. For the first time since I had known him, he had surprise flash acrossed his eyes.

I glanced up at him laughing at his expression. "Had he really forgotten that today was his birthday?

During the party we danced and took turns singing different songs to the radio. I couldn't sing at all, but that still didn't stop me, espically when one of the songs was "Papercut" by Linkin Park, one of my favorite bands.

Esme insisted on making a cake even though I was the only one who could eat it. She said it had something to do with reliving her past as a human. It had been one of her favorite things to do.

A few hours later me and Edward were sitting in his room as the jazz music from the fifties played in the background.

"So what did you think?" I asked, quite curious, this was his first party in over a 100 years I mean. He looked at me lauhging. "It was acculary quite fun. I dont remember the last time I had a birthday party. I acculary almost forgot when that day was." he said hugging me tightly. "Thanks." he whispered into my ear.

"Anytime. NExt year we can plan something even better." I replied smiling. He smiled back at me with the face that I loved best. It was moments like these that I wish would last forever.
