I'd opted to do online courses from the local community college this year since I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, but I needed to do something. It was only two weeks into the semester, but I could already tell it was going to be a breeze.
I was taking a math class, English 101, and psych 100. I was fairly sure I wanted to pursue either teaching or some sort of psychology degree, so these were the perfect beginner classes-- according to my advisor.
But today, school was the last thing on my mind. It was Is' birthday today and I was beyond excited to give her my gift. I got her a new sketch book and some charcoal. She'd been trying to get better at her art for awhile now but always thought she wasn't that good. But she did have talent. I hope she likes it.
I was at the Cullen's house early helping with prep for the party tonight. Of course Bella had no idea we were doing a party, she'd completely refuse if she thought we were up to anything. So that's why it was a surprise.
Emmett was in the garage working on the jeep even though it didn't need any fixing. Alice, Jasper, and Edward were at school with Bella and Carlisle was at work. It had been a peaceful day.
I'd gone to the shops with Esme this morning, picking up decorations for the house and ingredients for Bella's cake. I enjoyed Esme's company so much, she was such a motherly figure that I felt comforted by her presence.
Esme and I were working together to make a cake for Bella. It was vanilla with strawberries and a buttercream frosting, it was coming together beautifully. I was whipping the frosting while Esme cut the strawberries, a soft melody from the piano was playing throughout the house courtesy of Rosalie.
The living area was decorated in soft twinkle lights and a banner that read 'Happy Eighteenth Bella!' The party wouldn't be starting until 6pm. I still had to get ready and pick up Bella to drag her here, that was my job tonight.
Once Esme and I finished decorating the cake, ensuring it was perfect, I gave the woman a hug bidding her goodbye. I made my way out to the garage where Emmett was still tinkering away. "Hey Em," I gently interrupted his work, a smile on my lips as I took in the grease that was covering the front of his his shirt and the bit that was on his cheek.
His golden eyes met mine and his face pulled into a wide grin that he reserved for me. "Hey babe," Emmett wiped his hands on his shirt before meeting me half way, his hands going to my waist to pull me into him.
"I've gotta go get ready before Bell's party, I just wanted to say bye before I left," I slung my arms around his neck, having to stand on my tip toes to even get my hands to wrap behind his head and pull him down to my height.
He kissed me with everything in him, like he always did. Emmett Cullen's kiss was all consuming, stealing away my breath and making my heart race until I was sure it would beat right out of my chest. "I'll see you soon," He whispered against my lips before giving me another kiss.
