Chapter 5
"Yes," I said looking away from Jake. "What do you need?" "Alice wants you she's in her room." she then turned fiercely and left my room. "Okay. Jake stay here please." "Sure sure," I walked down the hall to Alice's room knocked on the door and waited for her to open it. "Lex?" she asked. "The one and only" I said. "Great," she said excitedly. "Okay close your eyes and no peeking." "Okay" I heard her footsteps leave the room and comeback quickly.
"Open on three one. Two. Three. My eyes flew open to see a beautiful blue dress and four inch heels. "Alice, I love it and all but what is it for?" "Your birthday silly. Now put it on and meet me in the hall. Got it." "Yep" I threw on the dress and the heels which made me 5'8" afterwards I went into the hall and Alice dragged me into the bathroom. She made me keep my eyes closed while she did my hair and makeup. "Alice what is all this for?" "You'll see" When she finished I looked in the same full length mirror I had earlier. The dress hugged in all the right places. I didn't look like me at all. Then she pulled me down to the living room and there was everyone (and Jake) waiting for me. Happy birthday! They all screamed in unison. "Alice what is this?" "A small gathering for the birthday girl," I turned to Alice and gave her a big hug "Thank you" I said. "You're welcome sis" I walked down the rest of the stairs.
Bella and Edward walked up and handed me a rectangular box with a bow on it. "Thank you" I said "Open it" Bella said. It was a beautiful white gold necklace with my name on it. "Oh I love it. How did you know I prefer white gold?" "I did a little digging in your head while you were 'sleeping'." Edward said. I hugged them both. "It's perfect." I walked away from them to be stopped by Carlisle and Esme. Esme hugged me and said "Happy birthday dear we got you something that I'm sure you'll love. But you'll get it later. How old are you turning?" "I am 17 today" "Perfect" she said I moved on to Jacob "Hey hey Jake" "Hello birthday girl" "So do you wanna dance with me?" "Sure but don't you want your gift first?" "Whatever you're comfortable with." "Okay later then" "Okay now dance with me!" Everyone else was on the floor already so we kinda just meshed in.
Jacob was a pretty good dancer. "Where did you learn to dance so well?" "Well one day I had the urge to learn and Edward had the urge to teach me. Gotta love Jasper. "Did I mention how beautiful you look?" "Thank you," "May I?" Edward asked "You may" I said. Edward was a good dancer too. No wonder Jasper made him teach Jake. After Edward I danced with Carlisle. Then to Emmett which was interesting seeing that he is a goof ball. Then to my surprise Jasper. "Happy birthday" He whispered before he passed me back to Jake.
"Alright time for you to get your gift sweetie." Esme announced. She pulled me towards the garage and to a blue rav4. "Happy birthday" "Esme did you really. There's no way." I hugged her and Carlisle. "Rosalie and Emmett pitched in too" she said. I jumped and hugged Emmett and Rosalie. "Thank you guys. Thank you so much." "You're welcome" said Rosalie. "Okay I think that's enough for one night. If you guys need me I'll be in my room." I announced.
"Wait! I never gave you my gift." Jake said running after me. "Oh that's right" I turned and crashed into him. "Jake are you okay? I'm sorry." "It's all good" he said brushing his shoulders. "Okay close your eyes." I felt his hand on my wrist. "Okay open them" I looked down on my wrist and I saw a beautiful white gold bracelet that matched my necklace and it had a wooden charm that said 4 ever yours on it. I smiled "Jake it's beautiful. I love it. Did you make the charm?" "Yes" I couldn't help it I leaned forward and gave him a quick peck on the lips.
Then I went upstairs changed my clothes and laid on the couch with my iPod and closed my eyes. One of my headphones fell out and I heard people downstairs arguing. "It's not my fault it just happens." I heard Jake defend himself. "Jake you imprinted on her the least you could do is tell her," I heard Bella's voice as calm as I have ever heard her but stern at the same time. "I know I have to tell Sam first." After that I heard the front door open and close. Imprint? What the hell is that? "Lex!" I heard Edward call. "Yes?" "Come down here now" Great I'm screwed. I got down there in a second trying to take my time didn't work. "What were you doing upstairs?" He asked while pinching the bridge of his nose.
