3. Surprises

As they were walking, everyone had their thoughts somewhere else: Jasper and Emmett were strangely both thinking about the same thing, the war games they intended to play all afternoon; Rosalie was having her usual shallow thoughts, having her sliver-painted nails on focus and Alice was having visions of clothes she was going to buy.

Meanwhile Edward was planning the surprise for Bella, he wanted to take her somewhere special.

His thoughts eventually interrupted Alice’s, leading to a new vision. In that moment he knew where he was taking her.

The Volvo was right in front of them now. They all had stopped and were looking at Edward for answers.

“I can’t fit the six of us in this car.” He said slightly frowning.

“OK…I guess we’ll have to walk.” It was Alice that answered, knowing about Edward’s plans. You owe me details. Her mouth opened to show her perfect teeth.

Bella was absent from all of this, lost in her own mind. She didn’t even noticed they were parting ways until Alice got closer to her and whispered.

You’re in for something quite amazing. Try to be warmer now.

Edward shot her a death glare. He had heard what she had said. She shouldn’t give her hints, it would ruin the surprise. And also, she knew exactly was going on, unlike him, she should go easy on Bella.

Bella felt the cold breath and snapped out of her thoughts just in time to hear what Alice had said. She also noticed the looks exchanged. Bella smiled.

“Are you coming or what?” Rosalie, Jasper and Emmett were already some inches ahead and she was getting impatient.

Alice peeked on both her brother and his girlfriend’s cheek and reached for Jasper who took her hand.

Bella headed for the passenger door almost catching Edward off-guard. Lucky for him, he was super-fast and he reached the door just in time to open it for her.

“Sorry, I forgot.” She smiled embarrassed.

“It’s OK. But you’re under my orders now, Miss Swan” He smirked as he opened the door to let her in.

Second after that, he was sitting behind the wheel. The first few miles, they were silent. Music was was playing on the radio.
