Chapter Seventy-One
Edward's warm hands grazed over my neck, causing me to stir awake.
The room was still dark and his words were soft as he murmured, "Happy Birthday, Bella."
My grin was happy and sleepy as I croaked, "Not yet."
"Mmhm," he hummed. "It's after midnight."
"Sleep. Go back to sleep," I yawned and turned my body to snuggle closer to his warmth.
As I rolled over, I felt something cool on my neck leading down into the crevice of my chest.
My eyes finally opened and my hand inspected the foreign object, lightly tugging at the chain that was occupying my neck.
Edward's soft gaze was burning into me as I slowly sat up.
"It's a key," I mused as I stared at the silver heart key pendant hanging off the chain.
"Also known as your birthday present." Edward's laugh was low as he lightly rubbed my arm.
"What's it to?" I asked as Edward playfully grinned and sat up next to me. "Your heart?"
He shook his head. "You don't need a key. You're already in."
"I'm going to become diabetic if you don't stop with those kind of remarks," I warned with a smile.
"Do you like it?" he asked, placing kisses along my jaw and neck.
"I love it."
"Let's see what you look like only wearing...that," he mumbled and lifted the tank top over my head.
I had a feeling this was going to be the best birthday ever.

I couldn't help myself.
