Chapter 11- As the Tour Continues
EPOV
Emmett and Rose managed to stop fighting long enough in Las Vegas until it was time for her to return to Seattle with Alice. They both agreed that they needed a cooling-off period and they would deal with their relationship privately after the tour was over. I had seen them fight over the years they had been together, but this time was different and I hoped that Emmett would come to his senses and realize that he and my sister were meant to be together.
Our final show at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Arena was sold out. Teaming up with 'Paramore' proved to be a great match because we were packing the houses. The promoter was extremely happy working with us and they were eager to start talking to Newton about the future. Everyone was confident that with the second album close to dropping, 2010 was going to be a successful year for the band.
I was a little disappointed that Bella didn't want to agree to a quick Vegas wedding while we were in town, but I understood that she took our pending marriage seriously. She wanted the ceremony to be shared with our families and the idea of a honeymoon on a tour bus wasn't her idea of romance. We looked at the calendar together and decided that May 29, 2010 would be the perfect day to get married, which would allow us two full weeks for a honeymoon before our summer tour began. I had to take comfort that she was wearing my ring and it was a promise that she was mine forever. We didn't need a piece of paper to keep us together.
We loaded onto the tour bus and left Las Vegas for our long trip to Calgary to begin the first leg of our Canadian tour. The itinerary allowed us four days off to travel and it would be Bella's first attempt being on the bus for such a long period of time. We chose to take the bus instead of flying because the band and I wanted to make surprise performances in small clubs while on the road to test out the new songs.
We were scheduled to stop in Salt Lake City and Helena to spend the night in hotels and to allow the bus driver to get the rest he needed. Newton had made arrangements for us to play at the State Room in Salt Lake City and Miller's Crossing in Helena. Our crew set up our equipment like we did when we used to play small clubs when we were first starting out. I was nervous about this second album because we had more expectations from our fans. Sophomore records tend to fall flat, and I hoped that we bested our debut with better songs, better production and more accomplished playing. We wanted to get a reaction that would help us determine what song selections we would make for our next tour. Emmett and I always liked to try and stay one step ahead of our career.
The guy's allowed Bella and I to occupy the bedroom suite on the bus and she seemed to handle her motion sickness fairly well. Anytime she started to feel a little queasy, she would lay down. The comforts of the bus allowed Bella to get her 'sea' legs by the second day. Emmett, Jasper, Jake and I all liked having her with us. She spoiled us by making great meals and snacks and she proved to be a fierce video game adversary against Emmett. Bella had become one of us, and I knew that I would miss her when it was time for her to leave.
Bella spent most of her free time when she wasn't with me, working on her laptop. She was either researching a new band, writing, or working on her project of documenting of our trip. She had been taking an enormous amount of photographs trying to capture as many candid images of us and our travels for her collection.
Every night we walked down endless hallways strewn with black and grey cables, anvil equipment cases and then step onto the blackened stage. Another show was up and running.
The past fifteen days we played Calgary, Winnipeg and then after a day off went back down to the states and played one night in Minnesota. The following days took us to Thunder Bay, Montreal and Ottawa.
Life on the road was monotonous. You get up, you pass the time until the gig, you do the show, and you party or travel to the next one where you do it all again.
As soon as we arrived in Canada, the party began and Emmett was carousing extensively. A new bunch of fans began to show up at the hotels, and Jacob was spending time with a couple of them. Two of the girl's were Jessica and Michelle and they had a constant party going on in their hotel room. One night Emmett got tempted by a bathtub full of beer that the two girls always maintained and he decided to attend one of their after-show parties. It got a little crazy and Emmett took Jessica on the tour bus to try and impress her. Jacob harassed him the next morning and it sounded like Emmett had put himself in a compromising situation.
By the time we arrived in Toronto several weeks later, Emmett was beginning to act like himself. Maybe the nightlife wasn't all that it was cracked up to be for him and I even overheard him talking to Rose on the phone.
Toronto marked the end of Bella's time on the road and she reluctantly packed her bags and removed all her personal things off the bus before we checked into the hotel. Bella's birthday was tomorrow and I wanted to do something nice to mark the special occasion. She would also be leaving to go home the following morning, so a lot had to be crammed into our last evening together.
Once we found our room, I had to distract Bella to make a few phone calls before sound check. I didn't have time to shop, so I had to get creative. I sent her downstairs to the hotel gift shop for a package of throat lozenges complaining that I felt my voice was getting hoarse. It didn't take her long to bring me back what I asked her for and we lounged around the room until it was time for me to go to sound check.
The concert venue was the Air Canada Centre, and we performed in front of a crowd of 18,000 people. The gig was again just perfect. The Toronto crowd were the loudest I had heard, and so passionate for all things Pattinson Project. I had performed some great shows on this tour, and the crowds had been fantastic - but seriously Toronto won the Best Audience category for me, they blew me away. After the show, I headed backstage to dry off, grabbed a beer and headed out the door with Bella on my arm.

The tour was different without Alice and Rose. I liked having the girls to hang out with, but the one-on-one time I spent with Edward was wonderful. We were having so much fun being together each and everyday.
I had a rough first day on the bus dealing with my motion sickness, but I learned how to distract myself and I got used to life on the road with Edward and the boys. Edward and I occupied the larger suite at the back of the bus and we managed to find a limited amount of privacy. Edward would play his guitar and I worked on my laptop to pass the time from one stop to the next. Emmett, Jasper and Jake had no problem with me tagging along. I kept the bus tidy and I fed them and they all enjoyed my cooking. I tried very hard not to spend too much time in the tiny bathroom in the mornings and they accepted me as part of the group. I actually was able to sharpen my gaming skills by spending a lot of time whipping Emmett's ass on the Wii.
Canada's countryside was beautiful and I found myself taking more pictures and keeping detailed notes for my scrapbook. I began to take candid photos during the concerts and backstage along with the stops in between. The folder on my laptop was quickly filling up, and I had a lot to work with once I was home.
Rose and Emmett's relationship had been on hold since their confrontation in Vegas and he was using this time to explore what he thought he was missing out on in his life with Rose. Emmett began spending most of his free time with Jake and his drinking was becoming prevalent. It didn't affect his performance, so Edward didn't say anything to him hoping he would grow tired of it. Emmett was a big guy and he could hold a large amount of alcohol without many side effects. I thought to myself that if he could just get sick once, he might learn a lesson.
We spent the next two weeks making our way from Calgary across the country to Toronto with a string of concerts. We sporadically spent nights in hotels and the fans continued to find us, with some actually getting rooms and lurking in the hallways in hopes of meeting the band. There were a few who were pretty consistent and Jake and Emmett had gotten friendly with them. After one of their parties, Emmett decided to give one of the girls a tour of the bus and the way Jake teased him the next morning it sounded like Emmett had his hands full with the girl. I was angrier that he brought her on the bus than I was that he was looking for a cheap thrill. The bus was our home on the road and he should have respected our privacy. Whatever happened with Emmett and that girl made him apologize to all of us for his thoughtlessness. He seemed to get a grip and over the next couple of days he became more like the old Emmett we knew and loved.
We arrived in Toronto early in the morning on September 17th the day before my birthday. I was scheduled to fly back to Seattle on Saturday and I was beginning to get apprehensive about saying goodbye.
I gathered up the last of my things before we exited the bus. I wouldn't be back on it again, and I had to make a final pass to make sure I didn't leave anything behind. I was feeling a little sentimental because this was the end of my time on the bus and to the all the places it had taken us. I ran my finger along the edge of the bunk that Edward would occupy after I was gone and I tried to envision him sleeping there without me.
"Bella love, are you coming?" Edward shouted from where he was standing outside.
"I'm just making sure I didn't forget anything." I rushed to the door to exit and I stepped off where Edward was waiting to escort me into the hotel.
Edward and I had been inseparable since he knocked on my door in Los Angeles and I had almost forgotten what it felt like for him to say goodbye and leave me behind. We would be apart only six weeks, and I had to overlook the inconvenience and focus on the prize. Leaving Edward this time was different from all the times before because we both called the same place home. I tried to push aside the dread as the pangs in my stomach that signaled the fear that was building up inside.
The hotel we were staying at was exceptional. Edward had requested a nicer hotel be booked for the last days of us being together. The Fairmont Royal York was an elegant traditional Victorian hotel befitting of any major city. A charming hat wearing doormen directed us up carpeted steps to an impressive bustling lobby.
Edward and I rushed to find our room before anyone noticed we were there. It was getting harder to avoid fans finding us, and the paparazzi were starting to invade our space. Emmett, Jazz and Jake joined us in the elevator.
"See you guys at sound check?' Edward really didn't need to ask.
"Definitely." Emmett answered for the group.
We stepped out of the elevator and split up to go to our respective rooms. We were staying in a specialty room that had a nice sitting area separate from the bedroom. The hotels were all beginning to look the same and all we required was a comfortable bed and some peace and quiet.
My birthday was tomorrow and I wasn't expecting anything as my 25th year approached. I was completely happy with my life and there was nothing that could come wrapped in a box that could make it any better.
OoOoOOo
My cell phone rang and woke me up earlier than I would have wanted to. I had developed a habit of sleeping later and the time zone also worked against me. I rushed to the bathroom with the phone in my hand so I wouldn't wake Edward.
"Happy Birthday!" It was my mother's happy voice on the other end. "25 years ago you made me the happiest mother on earth."
"Thanks Mom…" I struggled to open my eyes.
"Did I wake you?"
"No, I was just about to get up." I lied to my mom because I didn't want to explain why I was still in bed after 9 o'clock in the morning.
"I mailed something to you at your new address." My mom always sent me nice presents and being on the road make no difference. "I hope you like it."
"Thanks Mom, I'm sure I will. I get home tomorrow, I'll call you after I get it."
"Do you have any special plans with your handsome fiancé?"
"I'm not sure. He has a concert tonight."
"When am I going to meet him? The pictures you've been emailing me have made me eager to see him in person."
"How about if you come to Washington and spend Thanksgiving with us? You can meet everyone at the same time." Mom could meet the Pattinsons and all of our friends, and she could have a nice visit.
"That's a possibility." After my parents divorced, my mother Renee, moved to Florida and I hadn't spent a lot of time with her recently. It would be great if she could come to Seattle for a visit.
"It would be nice to see you."
"We need to start talking about wedding plans and maybe we could look at some wedding dresses together."
"I haven't even started looking," I had been on the road since my engagement and I hadn't had much time to think about my wedding or look at dress options. "I'm guessing Alice should have a pile of magazines and ideas waiting for me once I returned home."
"Call me when you get back to Seattle and we can talk about my visit."
"Okay Mom…"
"Happy Birthday again baby girl, I love you."
"I love you too Mom."
"Kiss that cute Edward for me."
"I will."
After we said our goodbyes, I looked at myself in the mirror. I was a complete mess, but I didn't seem to look any older and I certainly didn't feel different. I put on my robe, brushed my hair and teeth and splashed some water on my face. I never was big on birthdays, but this one was different. I had so much to look forward to because the holidays were only months away and Edward would be home without distraction. I was looking forward to spending time with him in Seattle, so we could begin to blend our lives and start making plans for our future together.
I stepped back into the bedroom area and found Edward asleep lying naked on his back with a blanket that barely covered his hips. I wondered what he dreamt of because he looked so peaceful and content. I resisted touching him so he could remain asleep. I could hear the maid's cart banging in the hallway. I didn't know if I should get back in bed to get more sleep. I gazed down at Edward and I felt the familiar melancholy that I got when I thought about leaving him tomorrow. Leaving him wasn't going to be easy, because I missed him already.
There was a knock at the door and it startled me. I must have forgotten to put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door last night. I rushed to answer it before they could knock again. I opened the door to find the bellman with a cart at the front of our door.
"I think you have the wrong room." I whispered.
"Pattinson, room 1235?" The young man had the right room.
"Yes, that's me."
"I have the breakfast you ordered."
"Hang on…" I peeked around the door to make sure Edward was decent and I found him awake with his head propped up in his hand smiling at me.
"Happy birthday love…" Edward's voice sang out as the bellman pushed the cart into the room and I signed the tab. "Surprise."
"You ordered all this? For me?" I lifted the covers revealing eggs benedict, fresh fruit, pancakes and sausage, two tall glasses of orange juice and huge pot of hot coffee.
EPOV
I heard Bella's cell phone ring and she jumped from the bed and ran into the bathroom to answer it. I glanced at the clock and it was 9:45 a.m., fifteen minutes earlier than I had planned to wake. I stretched and ran my fingers through my hair and shifted to my back. I had to pretend I was still asleep until my surprise arrived.
I couldn't hear what Bella was saying, but her conversation didn't last long and I heard the water run as she brushed her teeth. The bathroom door opened and I shut my eyes. I heard her pad across the carpet and stop close to the edge of the bed. I was hoping she would get back into bed with me, but she didn't. What was she doing? Was she watching me sleep? I wondered if she did that often.
Finally there was a knock on the door and Bella answered it quickly. "I think you have the wrong room," she whispered sweetly.
"Pattinson, room 1235?"
"Yes, that's me."
"I have the breakfast you ordered."
I rolled onto my side, covered myself better with the blanket and rested my head in my hand as I happily waited for her to return to the room.
"Hang on…" Bella's head peered around the door with a look of confusion on her face.
"Happy birthday love…Surprise." The bellman pushed the cart of food into the room and Bella signed the check.
"You ordered all this? For me?" Bella began uncovering the assorted breakfast items I had ordered. Eggs benedict was the breakfast Bella ordered on special occasions and I knew it was her favorite and I made sure I ordered plenty of coffee.
"The pancakes are mine." I crawled out of bed and kissed Bella's neck before I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and slip on some clothes.
"You definitely surprised me," Bella pulled up the desk chair to the cart and sat. "This is wonderful."
I walked back into the sitting room and draped my arms from behind around Bella and kissed her head. "25 looks good on you." That was an understatement because she was the most beautiful woman I had ever met and I enjoyed making her happy.
"You think so?" Bella turned her head and I kissed her purposefully. The warmth and flavor of the coffee in her mouth welcomed my tongue. My morning hard-on responded eagerly, but I wanted her to enjoy her breakfast while it was still hot.
I pulled up the other chair and sat beside her and raised my glass of orange juice. "Happy birthday my love, may there be many, many more." I wished for a lifetime.
"Thank you," Bella blushed and looked down at her food. "Everything is delicious."
"Aren't you going to ask me about your gifts?" I teased her knowing she would never ask me about presents.
"There's more?" Bella gazed curiously at me.
"I asked my mom to design and create an office space for you back at home. She has been working on it while we've been away." I reached my hand over the table and grasped Bella's. "I also upgraded your coffeemaker."
Bella jumped from her seat into my lap and placed a strangle hold around my neck. "You are amazingly sweet and thoughtful."
I placed my hands on Bella's waist and held her tightly. It made me happy she liked my birthday gifts even though I didn't have a package for her to open. "One more thing, since I have a show tonight, I scheduled a couples massage for us this afternoon, here in the room."
"That sounds sexy." Bella cooed as she started to kiss up my jaw.
"I wanted to spend all my time with you today, I hope you don't mind me crashing."
"How could I mind if I get to see your naked ass being massaged?" Bella laughed.
We finished our breakfast and Bella received calls from her father, Alice and a few girls at LOUD. I loved that she was getting so much attention. My parents even called to wish her a wonderful birthday.
Bella and I showered to prepare us for our massage and she relaxed on the bed. "Will you cuddle with me?" she asked me sweetly.
I climbed onto the bed beside her and I wrapped my arm around her. I knew she was starting to think about having to leave and she wanted some comforting from me. I kissed Bella's forehead then rested my chin on top of her head.
"Edward?' Bella's voice was soft as she pressed her nose against my throat.
"I'm here." I knew she needed me to be strong for her.
"Thank you for making my birthday so nice."
"It's not over yet." I still had more planned for the remaining of the day.
"Our time is running out."
I stroked her hair hoping Bella wouldn't cry. "I'll be home before you have a chance to miss me."
Bella's breath hitched as she fought back the tears. "I promised myself I wouldn't cry and now look at me." She let out a small giggle.
I pulled away so that I could see her face. "We've been apart before."
BPOV
"The last time we were apart it was terrible." I referred to the time we separated for seven weeks because of the misunderstanding over Tanya and it had been the loneliest time of my life. Something inside had me scared.
"Bella love, we're in a different place now," Edward took a deep breath. "Don't you trust me?"
My heart jumped from Edward's comment, he should never doubt my trust for him, "I do trust you and that's not what I meant to say…I'm sorry." I cupped his cheek in my palm. "I hate missing you."
Edward lowered his eyes, "I would never hurt you Bella. I miss you just as much as you miss me." I had hurt Edward's feelings. How could I hurt him after he given me the perfect birthday? Why did I ruin it by bring up our past problems?
"I love you and I know you would never hurt me." I tried to get Edward to look at me in the eye. "I will never talk about last summer again. Forgive me?"
Edward lifted his eyes to meet mine. "We weren't just fighting were we?" He smiled and kissed the tip of my nose.
"I love, love, love you Edward Pattinson." I peppered his cheeks with kisses.
"I love you too baby."
There was a soft knock on the door signaling it was time for our massage. Edward opened the door and welcomed two female masseuses into the room each carrying a table, a rather large duffle bag and a rolling cart. They effortlessly set up the tables, spreading large bright white pristine sheets for us to lie on. The tables were set up side by side so that we could see each other better. The stones were heated in lavender/ eucalyptus water and the scent filled the room.
"Good afternoon, my name is Katie." She was tall and thin with short dark hair. Her partner was slightly shorter and she had her hair pulled back and they were wearing crisp white tunics.
"My name is Leisa. We will be giving you both a River Rock massage. We are going to step out of the room and let you get underneath the sheet face down. Mr. Pattinson, I will have you on this table," indicating her table. "Mrs. Pattinson, you will be on the other table." That was the first time anyone called me Mrs. Pattinson and it sounded pretty good to me, even though it was premature.
As soon as they exited the room, we both stripped down and got on the tables.
It had been a long time since I had a massage, and I had never had one with someone else in the room with me. Edward had no hesitation to lay naked for a perfect stranger with his toned muscles on display. The masseuses came back into the room, and helped us adjust the sheets.
"Now, I want you both to take a deep breath in and let it out slowly." Leisa's voice was soothing as she took command of the session.
I closed my eyes and felt the sheet being pulled down to my waist and Katie's well-oiled hands stroked firmly down my body holding stones in her hands as she initialized the massage. The stones were hot to the touch, but soon melted into my skin, relieving my aching muscles.
"Let me know if the pressure is too much or not enough. Okay?" Katie spoke directly to me.
"I will." I answered.
Using a smaller stone, her thumbs worked out some of the tension within my neck and shoulder blades, and I could feel the tension melt away. "How's the temperature? Are you comfortable?"
I heard Edward moan out in pleasure, causing my head to turn. I watched as the other masseuse worked her way down his lean body, his eyes were closed and the expression on his face was pure pleasure. God, he was gorgeous.
I felt myself letting go of some of my worries as the pressure of the massage increased and Katie moved up my shoulders.
Once she was done with my back, she pulled the sheet up over my shoulders and placed several stones on either side of my spine. Katie then moved down to my legs, lightly massaging my calves, working a good medium pressure into my hamstrings. The heat from the stone relaxed my muscles and my mind. I began to lose track of time as the heat lingered on my skin, even though she had removed the heated stones from my back.
"Mrs. Pattinson, I'm going to have you turn over onto your back." I could hear the other masseuse telling Edward the same thing.
They held the sheets up, as we both rolled over onto our backs. Edward let out a sigh and we both relaxed as they continued.
"How do you like it so far baby?" Edward's calm voice asked.
"This is so wonderful." I smiled looking over at his handsome face and he winked at me.
I was so relaxed that I couldn't wait to feel her hands again. Katie re-adjusted the bolster under my knees and began to massage my arms and hands with new hot stones, continuing down my body to massage my legs, all the way down to my feet. She sat down on a stool and using what felt like her knuckle, rubbing in a circular pattern from the inside of my foot to the heel. I heard Edward growl out in delight, knowing it was his favorite part of a massage.
The masseuse's fingertips feathered lightly, touching the tops of my foot and around my ankle in slow soothing strokes and after doing that to the other foot, I was re-draped with the sheet and lightly touched on my arm, "Alright, we are going to step out of the room. Feel free to relax for as long as you need. We will be right outside of the door when you are ready." They handed each of us a bottle of water as they left the room. Edward rolled over onto his side and stroked my face with his hand.
"This is something I could get used to." I was completely relaxed and Edward looked so sexy lying beside me with the sheet barely covering his body. After watching and hearing him get his massage all I wanted to do was wrap my thighs over his hips and fuck his brains out.
Edward was the first to stand up and he put on his robe and handed me mine. He offered his hand to help me stand up and he escorted me to the edge of the bed so the women could come back in and retrieve their tables. He, then, notified the masseuses that we were dressed and ready for them to come back in the room. They each assessed how we felt and we both gushed how satisfied we were and slowly sipped at our water as we watched them meticulously put their tools away.
We walked them to the door and thanked them several times for the fantastic massage they gave us. Edward handed an envelope to each of them before shutting the door and locking it.
As soon as Edward stepped away from the door I dropped my robe and wrapped myself over him. His mouth opened and he pressed his lips firmly over mine. He drew in a deep breath pulling my tongue deeper and our kisses became urgent and consuming. My fingers pushed the robe off of Edward's shoulders and glided over his newly oiled skin.
The massage had made us both extremely excited and we crashed onto the bed panting and groping like we hadn't seen each other in months.
Edward was completely erect as I straddled his hips and rested my hands on his smooth warm skin. I didn't hesitate to envelop his cock and position myself over him as he filled me completely.
"Love me Edward."
"Always." Edward cupped my breast and took the nipple into his mouth. A spark of electricity shot down my spine when his teeth lightly clamped down over my tender skin.
I ran my hands through his tousled hair and carefully pulled on it. Our bodies slipped and slid with intense friction. I rotated my hips, rubbing in slow circles causing my muscles to clench around his cock inside of me.
"How do you do this to me Bella?" Edward groaned and kissed me again as I lost myself in the texture and taste of his flicking tongue against mine.
I began to melt against him and as I arched my body to feel him deeper, Edward lifted his hips.
"Touch me." I begged Edward to help me come. His fingers found my clit and his thumb pressed and rubbed over it in tiny circles. I could feel the tension building while I continued to rock my hips over Edward.
"Come for me Bella." Edward thrust his hips harder.
"Yessss…" the wave of bliss washed over me. I felt Edward's cock stiffen, then pulse heavily as he came inside of me.
We remained in bed holding each other until it was time to dress and meet the van that would drive us to the venue. I vowed to myself that I wouldn't allow any sadness when it came time for me to leave. Our careers pulled us across the country from each other, but we loved each other and our level of commitment was strong enough to endure anything.
OoOOOoo
It was soon time to get dressed and for Edward to go to work, so we pulled ourselves together and left the comfort of our room to meet everyone downstairs.
"Happy birthday Bella!" Emmett shouted across the lobby. He rushed up to me and scooped me up in his strong arms and lifted me off of the ground and kissed my cheek. "Did Eddie boy give you something nice?"
"Yes he did." I laughed as he placed my feet back on the ground.
"We just got 'stoned' up in our room." Edward was referring to our massage.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Emmett was confused by the joke.
"We had a hot stone massage up in our room." I laughed, letting Emmett in on the joke.
"Wow, I could be up for something like that." Emmett smiled and thought about the possibility of getting a massage.
"Happy Birthday!" Jasper and Jacob both shouted as we gathered in the lobby to get on the vans to the gig.
A few fans had gathered near the doorway and one girl stepped up and offered me a small bouquet of fresh flowers. I didn't know that anyone knew it was my birthday, but it was strangely nice to receive the flowers. Edward spent a few minutes acknowledging them and he posed for a few photos before Newton began yelling for us to get in the van.
We all piled in and found our seats. Edward placed his arm over my shoulder and pulled me to his side.
"The girls want to butter you up Bella," Emmett commented after the door slid shut. "They think if they get close to you, they can get close to Edward."
"Shut up Em!" Edward pinched the bridge of his nose and squeezed his eyes shut frustrated with Emmett's comments. "Why do you always have to say something stupid?"
"What did I say?" Emmett asked completely unaware what the problem was.
"It's her birthday for chrissake, can't Bella get flowers and leave it at that?"
"I'm sorry…geez." Emmett snorted. Jasper reached over the seat and smacked Emmett in the back of the head.
We arrived at the venue, the last concert of the tour for me, and I took my time to say goodbye to the crew and everyone that I wouldn't be seeing for awhile. I had brought my camera to take more pictures of everyone before I left. We had a great meal backstage and Edward stayed intertwined with me until he had to go on stage.
After the concert, we didn't spend any time backstage, instead we headed back to the hotel. Edward had arranged a late night snack of wine and cheese that was waiting in our room for us. In the middle of the table there was a cupcake with a candle on it.
"It's not my birthday anymore." It was well past midnight.
"Sure it is…it's only 10:00 p.m. in Seattle." Edward lit the candle with the matches the hotel provided. "Make a wish."
I closed my eyes and blew out the candle. After the smoke cleared Edward poured the wine and handed me a glass. "Don't you want to know what I wished for?"
"No, but let me show you what I wished for…"
