Chapter 24
Vanessa's pov
So we had been driving for awhile and I still had no idea where we were headed. We had passed Forks and were on the outskirts. I saw Alice and she waved as we drove past her. I saw this really big house and guessed it was theirs. We drove right past it and kept going. Where the hell was he headed? "Where are we going?" He smiled and shook his head. "That is a surprise." I smiled and nodded. I said,"I'm not too fond of surprises." He nodded and said,"It'll be fun. Nothing too surprising." I smiled and looked out my window. I saw this vast forest. Much too beautiful too even exist. At first I thought I was imagining it. Edward pulled over by the beautiful forest and parked. "Wow, it's amazing." He smiled and said,"That's not even the best part." I reached to open my door, but Edward beat me to it. He leaned down and gestured for me to get on his back. "It's quicker like this." I nodded and got on, I gripped his neck tightly and closed my eyes. He stopped a few minutes later and I saw we were on a mountain. "Oh my God! This is better than a forest." He nodded and said,"I thought you'd like it." I nodded and smiled. Their was a blanket on the ground and I sat down on it. He sat next to me and smiled. I looked over the edge of the mountain and saw a tremendous view. It was way higher than the tree that Jacob had picked, but for some reason I didn't mind. I looked at Edward and saw that his skin was sparkling. I wasn't shocked because Cody told me everything there is to know about vampires. It started right around the time me and Jake had started dating. Probably just a coincidence. I saw his sparkling skin and smiled. I felt a cold hand linked in mine and tried not to flinch. It was OK. I mean we're friends. I clenched his hand a bit tight. He probably didn't feel a thing. I smiled as I watch the sparkles on his skin dance in the sunlight. I laid back on the blanket and he laid down beside me. I felt the sun beat down on my back. I took my free hand and wiped the sweat off my forehead. He saw me sweating and pulled me to his side. I was really hot and scooted closer to him. We were sitting so close we were practically on top of each other. I was so comfortable I fell asleep. I woke up and it was dark out. I looked at down, and saw that our hands were still linked. We were still on the mountain and I saw the moon shining. I smiled and looked at Edward. "Happy birthday." My smile turned into a frown and I said,"What time is it? And don't remind me about my birthday please." He smiled and nodded. "It's one in the morning. Hence the "happy birthday" I'm not supposed to mention. Alice already has your party set up, so your going to have to acknowledge it sometime." I groaned and nodded. "You wanna head back?' I shook my head and said,"Could we stay till morning?We could leave at five or something." He nodded and smiled. I laid back down and fell asleep. I dreamed of random things and colors. It was strange...
