Me: Hello my peoples, and happy Valentine's Day! I firstly want to thank all of you that added me to your favorites or alert subscription (or whatever they're called). It really means a lot to me, because personally, I don't do that unless I really like the story. And I want to thank the people that reviewed even more because I love hearing what you think and…well what writer doesn't like reviews?
Anyway, we have had a total of 4 feet of snow here, so even though that's not a good excuse…it was part of the reason that I haven't been able to update. Also, this story is starting to wind down. There won't be more than 6 chapters left, I think. But there might be more than that. So we'll see….
Alfred: Now on with the story!
Me: Disclaimer: I do not own any of the twilight characters. :D
Alfred: Enjoy.

Chapter 25 Gay people rock! :P
EPOV
The next morning we woke to the other in our arms. It was perfect. After Bella telling me that she loved me, or wasn't scared to love me, more or less, it seemed like I was on cloud 9. We got ready and showered, grabbed a quick bit to eat in the lobby, and then headed out on our road trip. It would take a full day to get there, we left about 7am after getting the call from Alice saying that she wasn't about to let us sleep, when she and Rose had to get up at 5am. We had only gotten about 4 hours of sleep, but we agreed that I would drive first, so Bella could get some sleep and then she would take over, and I would sleep. That way the ending part of our trip we would both be rested and we could be with each other before everyone else commanded our attention, assistance, and presents.
It was about 4 o'clock when I woke up. Bella had slept till lunch, we had found a place to eat in a nearby town, and then I had slept like a log. I looked over at Bella. She was so cute when she drove, always carful, and would hum when the radio wasn't on and tap her fingers on the steering wheel. She glanced in her mires and her blind spot before putting on her blinker and changing lanes, because of a car that thought that 40mph was the new 70. When she got back in her lane she looked over at me and noticed that I was awake.
"Evening, sleepy head." She said grinning.
I laughed. "Hey, you got an hour more sleep than I did. Who you calling a sleepy head?"
She just smiled and shook her head, taking some of the sunflower seeds in her mouth that we had bought at a gas station.
I sat up fully and look at our surroundings. There were a couple inches of snow on the ground and it was no longer flat.
"Where are we?" I asked
"We passed the Colorado border about 45minutes ago. We should hit Denver in about 20 to 30 minutes." She looked out her window quickly and then looked out the windshield at the scenery. "The snow is gorges. I can't remember the last time it really snowed at home. And the mountains. I looked up Colorado and once we hit Colorado Springs, after Denver, there are mountains continuously. I can't wait to see a sunset with the snow." She sighed, a mixture of contentment and excitement on her face.
"We have mountains at home Bella." I said chuckling.
"I know, but these are Colorado mountains, there is a difference." She said in all seriousness.
I just laughed. For the next half an hour we talked about the concert and everyone that was there. Finally we got to Denver, it was big, but not huge, however the traffic was mad. After many, 'Do I take this exit?' 'No Bella! Not this one, wait let me look….' 'This one must be it, but I can't get over….' and 'Alice is going to kill us if we're late…' We finally found were we were supposed to be going. Alice had decided that we were going to meet at another gas station, we would get some stuff to eat, along with some coffee and then continue. When we made it to the Shell station, everyone was already there. We both hopped out and were met by the cold air. I hadn't looked at the temperature, but it was at the highest 20 degrees. We walked in and found them immediately.
"Good, you guys are here. How was the trip?" Rose asked.
"Great, we both got some sleep so we should be good till we hit our condo. How long have you guys been here?" Bella asked.
"Only about 10 minutes. We had to make many food stops for the boys…..so yeah." Rose told us, rolling her eyes.

After meeting up with everyone, the girls got food as the boys went to fill up Edward's car and Emmet's jeep. We waited in line for forever with our bottles of tea, water, cups of coffee, and other food, until finally it was our turn.
"Hi there, is this all?" The guy asked.
"Yup."Alice told him.
"So where are you guys from?" He asked.
"Is it that obvious that we aren't form here?" I asked, I hated having attention on me, unless I'm on stage.
"Well, actually, it was her tan, and her clothes that gave you away." He said smiling and lifting his head to Rose and Alice. "Nobody has a tan like that in February here unless it's fake. And nobody would ware that jacket to a gas station. Also all the food." He said shrugging.
We laughed. "Well we are from California actually. We are going snowboarding." I told him.
"Cool, I'm moving to Cali in a few months, and I love to snow board. The mountains just got a huge storm, so there will be great snow. But I have to say that you all could definitely pull off the snow chic look." He said whistling.
"Well, to bad they're taken." I heard Edward say, I turned to see Emmet and Jasper also, all looking pissed.
"Its ok guys, even though you girls are beautiful, I swing the other way. But you guys on the other hand, I would go for. You girls did good." He told us winking at the boys. They all blushed, as Rose, Alice and I laughed, hard.
"We are the ones that should be jealous Em." Rose said, still laughing.
"It's ok. My boyfriend would be pissed if I made a move, but that doesn't mean you guys aren't great eye candy. Especially you Bronze." He winked at Edward, who blushed even deeper.
The boys backed away slowly telling us that they were ready when we were. As soon as the door closed, we burst into laughter again.
"God, I've never seen Jasper blush like that." Alice said gasping for air. "Thank you. That made my day."
"I got to tell you, you girls scored some fine looking men. Whose Mr. Bronze belong to?" He asked smiling.
"Me, and sorry, but not only does he not 'swing that way' as you said before. But I'm not willing to give him up." I said, smirking.
He just laughed shaking his head. "Well you guys have fun." He told us as we grabbed our stuff. "And keep an eye on your boys. Because I know both guys and girls will be." We all laughed and walked back into the cold. The boys were around Emmet's jeep talking quietly, still blushing slightly.
"Here is your food. And Em, we are not stopping again till we get to the condo so you this better hold you over." Rose said sternly, like talking to a child.
He just nodded. "So um, d-did you guys p-put him up to that or…" Emmet trailed off stumbling over his words.
Alice, Rose, and I looked at each other before laughing hysterically. One of us would try to stop, but then look at the other and keep laughing. By the time we were able to stop, I had tears running down my face.
"Well did you?" Jasper asked annoyed.
"No, but I wish that we had thought of it." Alice said, still chuckling.
"That was all him. He wasn't even hitting on us really. But then you guys had to go all cave man protective moods. Even though he was gay. You should have seen your blushes. Best freaking way to start our stay in Colorado." Rose said.
"He really likes you Eddie." I said batting my eyelashes. Edward just blushed again, and looked away.
"Whatever." He mumbled, uncomfortable.
"Awww, look at you blush!" I teased.
"Yeah, well you would be blushing too. You've never been hit on by a gay person." He said, huffing.
"Actually I have. She was really nice though, even when I told her that I was strait." I said shrugging.
At my comment Rose and Alice both laughed hard. Edward, Jasper and Emmet looked shocked, I turned to them.
"Never thought you had to be worried about girls too, huh?" I said trying so hard not to laugh.
They looked away.
"Come on, let's go. I really want to be closer by dark." Jasper mumbled, and opened the jeep door.
"Yeah, let's go." Emmet and Edward said at the same time. We all laughed one last time and then put our stuff in the cars. We said that we would call if the other had to stop, but if not then we would meet again once we were at the condo.
The rest of the drive was pleasant. Edward and I talked about nothing and everything, while listening to Lifehouse, Dauntry, Katie Perry, and OneRepublic, of course. We only stopped once, in a smaller town called Alamosa, so that we could all go to the bathroom after all the coffee and water. From there it was only another hour. As we got higher into the mountains, the couple inches turned into a foot, and then 2 feet, and by the time we stopped at the Cullen condo, we walked out to 3 ½ feet of snow. I didn't think that it was that deep till I stepped out of the car, when I opened the door, it pushed the snow out of the way, and then when I stepped out the snow came up past my knees.
The condo was gorges. It had 2 floors, and was made out of logs. The roof was green, and there was a rap around porch. One whole side was made out of glass and looked toward the the mountains. We grabbed our stuff, rather the boys grabbed or stuff and we all walked into the house. The lights were on, and there was a fire going crackling presently. It had a high ceiling and then three bedrooms and a bathroom on the top floor. The kitchen was modern, but still had the woody, homey feel to it with. Alice, Rose and Edward told us that there were 2 rooms down in the basement, one that was a bathroom that lead out to a hot tub, the other a game room. In short the condo, or cabin as it really looked, was gorges and 'freaking awesome' as Emmet put it.
We all had rooms, Alice called the master for her and Jasper, and so Edward would get his regular room, as would Rose. Once we got our things into our rooms, we all met back down stairs and sat around the fire.
"This place it beautiful." I said breaking the silence.
"Yeah, we all love it." Edward said.
"So…..who wants to get in the hot tub?" Alice asked excited.
Edward and I moaned at the same time. After last night and driving all day, a hot tub sounded amazing.
"That sounds amazing." Edward said. After Edward and I finished changing and went down to see that everyone was in the water. I slid in and moaned again. God it felt amazing, the warm water slowly eased my tense back and shoulders.
"Bella, you want some wine?" I opened my eyes to see Alice gesturing with a glass.
"Sure, were did you get it?" I asked, surprised. I had had alcohol before, but I was responsible about it, and never drank at parties.
"Talked to my parents. They said we could take one bottle and had to drink responsibly." Alice said shrugging.
"Its not like 6 of us can get drunk on one bottle." Rose said, while Alice poured me a glass.
We spent the next hour in the hot tub talking about the concert and planes for tomorrow. Finally at about 11pm we decided to go to bed, because we all knew that the first day out would be the hardest. Once I had changed and showered to get the chlorine off I crawled into bed with Edward.
"So, you ready for tomorrow?" He asked.
"Sure, it'll be really fun. Nobody has to rent right?"
"Nah. We all have boards. I know you have one because it's on my car at the moment, so unless Jasper and Em don't we should be good." He told me grabbing my hips and pulling me to him.
"They have boards. So all we need is our tickets, cool. We won't have to wait forever inline." I said, and then yawned.
"Go to sleep Love. We are going to have an exhausting day tomorrow." He told me and started humming one of the songs that he had composed. Edward was right, tomorrow was going to be exhausting, but it would be a hell of a lot of fun. When I finally feel asleep I had dreams of pushing Jazz off the ski lift.
