Bella's POV
All around me was darkness. I had just found my way back to the present, and when I heard the sound of my angel's voice, the darkness pulled me back under, and I wasn't sure if it was going to let me go this time. It must've been at least an hour in the darkness, feeling the sweet touch of my angel, before the darkness finally let me go. The demon takes the sandbags off of my eyes, so I can open them into the light, so that I can finally see my angel's eyes, and know exactly who he is.
"Jake?" I say, still groggy from the trip into darkness.
"I'm here," he says, and I can see the relief in his eyes, that the darkness has finally let me go.
I say the first thing that I need to tell him. "My memory, when I hit my head… it's back." The look on his face is mixed emotions. First, it was the happiest person ever, then relief, then doubt, then happy again. He leaned in for a kiss, and there was no way I could reject him. For the first time in five days, to be able to kiss him and know every corner of his mind, and not someone I just met.
Too soon. It was over much too soon, although I think we've been in that position for at least ten minutes.
"Really?" he asks. I nod my head. "Well, then we have to tell everybody now. We had a whole bunch of plans for stuff to do on each day, and we haven't been doing them because of your memory loss. So now we can start doing them," he says.
"What do you mean? Like what kind of stuff?" I say, inching closer.
"Like going out to the beach, and a carnival, and spending the whole day in the arcade," he says, getting more excited by the minute.
"What arcade?"
"There's a huge arcade in downstairs, with every game you could ever imagine."
"Then let's do it!? I say, getting up. He jumps up with me, and we knock on everyone's door, shouting at them to meet us downstairs. They all come down within ten minutes, and we tell them the good news. They all give me a hug, and congratulate me on getting my memory back, and then we head to the arcade.
"Oh. My. GOD!" I scream when we get inside. It's probably the biggest arcade in the world, with every game there ever was, or will be. Suddenly, I remember something about arcades. "Do we need tokens?" I ask.
"No, everything's free," Jacob says, and laughs as my jaw drops to the ground. All of this for free? Seriously?!
The next few hours of the rest of this perfect day were fabulous. We played every game you could ever find in an arcade, and no more than one round of each game, so we could finish them all. About halfway through the arcade, the servers came in with dinner of lamb, mashed potatoes, beans, and rolls. Probably one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. After finishing the arcade with the last game, ski ball, we all go upstairs to our rooms to get our bathing suits on.
Jacob changes in the big room, and I change in the bathroom. I put on a black bikini, with rainbow lace, and walk out to Jake. We take the two person tube again, and are the third pair to arrive at the pool. So we were waiting on Kim and Jared. When they finally arrive, we all get out, and get in the hot tub. The hot tub was pool sized, so we all just floated in it on our tubes.
That hour was full of talking and drinking (soda thank you very much), and before I knew what was happening, I was back upstairs. Me and Jake went in our personal sauna until we were all dry, and got ready for bed.
I changed into my PJ's, which wasn't very different from my bikini. It was a half shirt type thing, and a skirt. Pink, of course. I come out to see Jacob playing Mario Kart on the Wii, wearing his black sweatpants, and no shirt, like he would actually wear a shirt if it wasn't in public. I pick up the second Wii wheel, and play along with him. He always plays as Funky Kong, and I'm always Toadette. He, of course, beat me, as he's always good at everything.
"It's midnight," he murmurs in my ear when the match is over.
"And?"
"Don't you want to sleep? We have a big day tomorrow. We're going to a theme park. Disney Land?" he says. I'd never been to Disney land. I wonder what it would be like…
"As exciting as that sounds, sleeping is for people who are alone," I say, and wrap my arms around his neck. He pulls me close, and there begins the night of utter, and complete, Jacob.
