"Where are you now?" Bella asked through the phone as she stood in front of the world map that took up a full wall in her apartment's living room ready to pin a colorful flag.
"We just landed in Tahiti; we're on our way to the hotel now."
"What color?"
"Blue," Edward said in reference to the car he was sitting in. Years earlier, Edward had been so excited for his first surfing competition that he had described the trip to Bella in great detail down to the color of the car his parents drove to the hotel. Bella had gone out to buy little green, the color of that first car, flags and a world map poster to mark off his location. Since then she's used flags of different colors to mark where he goes on her map based on the first vehicle he sits in once he's arrived at his location.
"You're there for a week, right?" Bella murmured distractedly while she hunted down the small island of French Polynesia on her map.
"Yeah, then I'll be home for a couple weeks before I have to be in Trestles the day after your birthday."
Bella knew exactly where he would be then as she had taken the week off to join him in Trestles before he left for France. His aunt and manager, Esme, had helped her plan the trip and they planned to keep it a secret from Edward until Bella's birthday. With all of his traveling, spending an extra week with Edward was as much a present for her as it was for him.
"So I get you all to myself for two and a half weeks?" she asked him excitedly.
Edward chuckled a bit before sobering quickly as he arrived at the hotel. "I miss you."
"I miss you, too. So much." Bella swallowed around the lump in her throat and curled up on the floor, leaning against the Atlantic Ocean.
Yes, a month spent with Edward was as much for her as it was for him.
