"Surprising you for your birthday, silly." She laughs, leading me to all my friends who are now standing outside, smiling at me.
"But what about John and the break-in?" I question, still trying to process what happened.
"That was all a lie, buddy." Tucker laughs, patting me on the back. "I had to come up with a way to get you out here without you thinking I was a mass murderer leading you to your doom."
"So the rush job, the client, everything today was just a ruse? We worked our asses off for nothing?" I say, a little exasperated.
"Well, not for nothing, John has given us the whole weekend off, so technically, we just did all the work we should have done in three days today," Tucker replies cautiously.
"It'll be worth it when you see what we have planned," Bella informs me and then kisses me.
After the shock wears off, she proceeds to tell me all about the crazy weekend they have planned for me. I can feel a lump forming in my throat as I listen to her excitedly explain all the hard work they put in and how excited she is for us all to go away together.
I look around at all the friendly faces and feel so honored and grateful to have all these wonderful people in my life. If you'd have told me a few years ago that I'd be spending my birthday surrounded by all the people I love, I never would have believed you.
I quickly look around and realize that Gabe is nowhere to be seen. Bella hugs me tightly because she knows exactly who I'm looking for. "He said he's going to drive down tomorrow to meet us all. I think the whole group road trip was a little too much for him," she informs me with a reassuring, but sad, smile. It makes me love her even more when I see how, even though Gabe is usually an asshole to her, she still finds it in her heart to try and understand him.
"We’ve got to go guys. We have a long drive ahead of us," Danny tells us, so we all climb back into the bus.
"Wait, I didn't bring any clothes," I suddenly remember.
"I'm one step ahead of you, baby. I packed your bag this morning," Bella gushes, pointing to a small suitcase.
"But how?"
"I may have stolen your keys," she admits slyly as she reaches into her bag and hands them back.
"So that's where they went. I thought I'd lost them last night. I looked everywhere after you left because one minute they were in my jeans, and the next I couldn't find them."
"Maybe if your jeans had stayed on your ass instead of the floor, you might have sensed she stole them," Tucker teases.
"Fuck you. At least my jeans only come off indoors. I seem to remember you and Ava walking through a park, and her skirt somehow ended up back to front," I joke back.
"Can you blame me? When I have a boyfriend who looks like that? Sometimes a girl just has needs," Ava retorts.
The ride down is long but pleasant. Me, Tucker, and Danny take turns either driving or reading the map. While the girls gossip and sing in the back seat.
When we arrive at the cabin, it's stunning, even better than the girls described. On the drive there, Bella explained why she chose this cabin. She told me that since we met and fell in love thanks to a cabin in the woods, it's only fitting that we spend our last big event in one before we all graduate and officially become adults.
She also said that we didn't celebrate my 18th birthday, which she still hasn't forgiven me for, and that we're going to make up for it now. She thinks it's only right that I wake up on my first day of adulthood here. She's so corny sometimes, but I just love that about her. She has the kindest heart of anyone I’ve ever met.
Since we arrive so late and everyone is exhausted from the trip, we decide to go straight to our rooms and get some sleep, so we can wake up refreshed and ready to start our vacation bright and early. We go to our room and quickly unpack before I decide to jump in the shower since I'm still in my work clothes and I know I probably stink.
After showering, I walk down the hall to our room and see that Bella is already in bed, sleeping. She looks like an absolute angel, and her hair adorns the pillows. I pull back the covers and notice that she's only wearing one of my t-shirts. I slide next to her and start stroking her legs before moving my way up her thighs and kissing her neck.
"Baby," she moans sleepily.
"What?" I say, feigning innocence.
"There's nothing we can do; someone will hear us," she whispers, despite unconsciously spreading her legs slightly for me. I love how her body responds to my touch without her realizing it.
"You meannothinglike this?" I whisper as I slide my hand up the inside of her thigh and place my hand just on top of her panties.
"Yes," she moans, and I can see how eager she is for me to continue.
"So I guess this," I whisper as I move my hand into her panties and slide a finger inside her, "is out of the question too?"
"Babe," she moans as I start stroking her most sensitive spot with my thumb as I slide down and begin peppering kisses all over her inner thighs.
