Katherine Isabel Black's Pov Picnic and so much perfectness
I walked in the door of the cottage and dropped my heavy, filled with textbooks to the rim, purple backpack; on the floor.
"Mom! Dad! I'm home." I called into the silent home. I shrugged and walked over to the fridge to get a snack for my hungry self. I got an apple and went to the pantry to find more food. I found some cheez-its and poured them in a bowl. I walked to my room, turned on the TV and sat down at my computer to check my IM.
Mbrie: O good. Ur on, kat.
Kit-Kat-Bar: uh-huh. What's up?
Mbrie: I was wondering if u wanted 2 come to a pack picnic 2nite.
Kit-Kat-Bar: sure. R my parents coming?
Mbrie: yep.
Kit-Kat-Bar: then im sure I can! C u then!
Mbrie: yay! Kk. Bye
I x-ed out of my chat panel on my white Mac and clicked on Safari.
I went onto my Face book page and posted: Bored. I laughed at some comments my friends had made and remembered something. I pulled back up my IM and clicked on 'the Cullen Household' one.
Kit-Kat-Bar: r my parents there? – kat
I pulled out my phone when it vibrated in my pocket and unlocked it. The text was from my new friend, Madison. Madison was the really nice girl I met on the first day of school and who had helped me so that I didn't even need the crumpled map in my back pocket anymore. She had light toffee hair and braces. Hey kat. U thr? It said.
Yes, I replied just as the house phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hello.' It was Esme
"Hi Gramma."
"Kat, Alice says you need to get over here. Your parents and Alice have a surprise for you."
"K. I'll be right over."
"Bye"
"Bye."
I hung up the phone, slid my phone in my purse pocket, and grabbed my purse. On the way out of my room, I threw away the half eaten apple and turned off the lights. I walked out of the house into the pre- Winter air. The cold wind brushed my hair and bit at my rosy cheeks. I might be half human, quarter vampire and quarter wolf; but the cold still bothers me because of the human part of me even though I run at a temperature of 100 degrees. I pulled my jacket tighter around me and pulled my hat over my soft hair. My nose started to run a bit because of the 30 degree essence and I had to wipe my nose on the sleeve of my north face jacket. I looked around at the gray sky and the tops of pine trees surrounding me. I heard a howl and turned around to see a wolf. I screamed and panicked but instantly felt like a fool when I realized it was Embry. I calmed myself and walked over to him. His warmth was perfect and I suddenly forgot I had been cold. He nudged my shoulder after a minute and I hopped on his back. His silver fur was long and swept at the ground. I would have to remind him to get a hair cut sooner or later. He started running and I braced myself tightly, wrapping my arms around his neck. I leaned in and closed my eyes; his fur closing around my face and curls.
I opened my eyes and saw that we were almost to the mansion. I waited for him to stop before I got off him. I went up the porch and waited for him to phase back. He came out of the woods wearing a light pink button up shirt and jeans. I was wearing a pink jacket, jeans, Uggs, and a black t- shirt.
We walked in together and I had an urge to hold Embry's hand. My parents were sitting on the couch watching CSI and Aunt Alice was jumping up and down. "Yay! Kat! You're here!" I nodded and felt Embry hold my hand. I smiled and wondered if he could hear my heart pick up pace. My dad could and shot Embry a glare and he shot one back. "Hi honey." My mom said to me. "Hi momma." I greeted her, "Daddy."
"Now, Katherine. We're going to go shopping. And you get to… re-do your room!" Alice told me. I smiled and got excited. I looked at Embry and he had a pained face like he didn't want to leave me. "Can Embry come?" I asked, not looking away from Embry. I finally looked away when Alice said, "Sure. Come on. You still have to go to a party tonight." I tugged Embry to the garage and hopped in the backseat with him. "Be safe!" My dad called through the door of the garage. I nodded at him.
Once we were a mile away, Embry put his arm around me and I breathed in his scent. Alice smiled at us through the rear- view mirror. I love Aunt Alice because she's all about the fun and she lets me and Embry be together more. When at home, you're always watched by mind readers, and super hearing and its really annoying. Aunt Alice turned on the radio and sung along while I was day dreaming in Embry's grasp.
"Were here. Come on!" Alice announced when we pulled up to a Nebraska's Furniture Mart. We climbed out of the SUV and into the wintry air again. I got cold and put my hands in Embry's. We walked into the warm store and up to the Bedroom section. I decided I wanted my room to be a soft purple and white. I picked out my sheets and bed frame while Alice went to the lighting section. Alice said to get anything we wanted so I got a cart and went crazy. I got the sheets, bed posts, curtains, pictures, vanity, rug, armoire, bed side tables, and those manikin things. By the time we reached check-out, we had three carts total and with a big total of: $4,500.00. I gasped and Alice didn't react at all. Embry's eyes were popping out of his head. "Money isn't a problem for us." I whispered, standing up on my tiptoes, to him.
It took us a while to get everything in the car but we managed. We got back in the car and drove home quickly.
By the time we got home it was 5:30 and the party started at 6. I had thirty minutes to get ready. So Embry watched football with dad, grandpa, and uncle Emmett and Jasper.
I went up to the guest room at the Cullen house and put on some of Alice's makeup and some of Aunt Rosalie's clothes. I wore jeans, a wolf sweater that for some reason, was in her closet; and my teal North Face (I have about 5). For makeup, I put on foundation, blush and did a pink eye.
It was 5 till 7 when I was done and rushed down stairs.
I rode on Embry's back and we arrived at 6:11 pm. I jumped off and waited for him to phase back. I didn't wait long when he wrapped his arm around me and we started walking to the squeals of laughter we heard from children. Seth, Brooke, Leah, Masen and my mom and dad had already beaten us. So had Claire, Quil, Emily, Sam and the triplets! I hadn't seen the triplets yet but I was excited to!
I met the triplets, Elliot, Juliette, and Scarlet. They were so adorable! I had a really fun time and before long, everyone was splashing around in the water on First Beach. (Even though it was cold.) I had so much fun! At about 9:30, Embry led me up to the cliff, high above everyone. We laid down and looked at the stars for a bit and I was cradled into his chest. It was so warm there, against him. He kissed my head and I looked up at him. I wanted to kiss him so badly! For a minute I thought he was just going to kiss my forehead for a minute, but he kissed me! I kissed him back with a smile and it didn't last long because we were both smiling. We pulled away and I just smiled and he pulled me up against his chest again.
We eventually walked down the cliff, holding hands, to where the smell of food was. We ate and socialized. All the wolves kept complementing Emily on the wonderful hot dogs and hamburgers.
It warmed up a bit and so when it was time to go home, around midnight, me and Embry walked home. We held hands the entire way home and I didn't want him to go. When we got to my house, he kissed me on the doorstep quickly. "Do you want to see what Alice did to my room?" I asked quickly. He nodded and we walked in. We had beaten the rest of my family and we were alone. I led him down the hall to my room and opened the door. The room smelled vaguely of paint and was perfect. The walls were soft purple and there was a crystal chandelier over my bed. The bed was perfectly made with the covers matching my wall perfectly. When we heard my family driving up, I kissed him bye and hugged him one last time. I remembered his smell as he kissed my forehead. He climbed out my window carefully.
I was so tired. I grabbed my guitar and played a new song. I made it up so quickly that I didn't even try. It came right out.
Taylor Swift Today Was A Fairytale Lyrics
Songwriters: Swift, Taylor;
Today was a fairytale, you were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand, and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale, today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale, I wore a dress
You wore a dark gray t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet
Every move you make, everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
All that I can say is now it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
Yeah yeah
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
I can feel my heart, it's beating in my chest
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
After that, I was tired so I brushed my teeth, put my hair in a pony tail and slipped into pajamas. I climbed into bed, texted Embry: I had so much fun tonight. Thnx. Night emmy.
I fell asleep so quickly and dreamed over and over again about the picnic and how just utterly perfect it was.
