"Seriously, Jake, what are we doing?" I asked as I followed my friend through the snow.
"Seriously, Bella, quit asking." he replied in a teasing voice. "Do you know what today is?" he asked suddenly, completely serious.
"Umm...Monday?" I asked. I actually had no idea. I knew it was February, and the month was about half gone. Oh. "Damn it Jake, it's Valentine's Day, isn't it?"
He smiled broadly. "Yup." AND he sounded smug.
I slapped his arm as I walked past him. "You're impossible, you know that, right?" I said with a smile on my face. I really did like Jake, even if he was only sixteen. Like it really mattered when everyone was turning into zombies. "So, where are you taking me?"
He walked past me again, smiling. "You'll see when we get there." he said.
"I hate surprises." I muttered as I followed anyway.
"Oh, all right!" he exclaimed. He quickly walked back to me and shocked me by kissing me. "That's what your surprise was." he said quietly when he pulled away.
I smiled. "Well, I liked it."
"Seriously?" he asked.
I nodded, blushing furiously.
"So, Bella, will you be my Valentine?" he asked, looking incredibly nervous.
"Yes. Now was there a specific place you wanted me to see, or were you just going to walk and try to build up your courage along the way?"
He laughed. "The second part. But why don't we walk around and see if we can find anything?"
I smiled. "Okay."
Jake and I continued walking for another hour, for the most part just talking, but he managed to steal a few kisses as well. We didn't find anything, not even a frozen zombie. I was starting to hope things might be normal here.
