70 Happy Birthday { 2 }

I smiled. My heart fluttered from his words. The way he called my mom just to ask what I like and the way he surprised me with so many things along with the way he is acting right now is driving me crazy on the inside.

I could feel my wolf jumping around in joy.

She felt proud that my mate is making me feel this way.

"She told me many things about you that I didn't know. She told me that your favorite color was red, blue and white, that you always wanted to go to France for your birthday, that you loved watching fireworks and the sun setting, your passion for singing to your favorite songs, how much you loved macaroons, eating desserts, walking on the beaches and how much you are dying to travel on the day of your birthday . . . " he said looking like it was what his life was depended on.

My heart squeezed from everything. Everything about him.

Everything he says.

Everything he does that made me feel this way.

The way he remembers everything my mom said.

The way he wouldn't look at me because he was afraid of what I thought of him.

The way he scratched the back of his neck because he was nervous.

My stomach dropped watching him and my cheeks heated up.

My wolf was beyond crazy about everything her mate was doing.

"Umm, Mr. and Ms. George, you are at the airport." the driver said, interrupting the moment. Thanks

"Thanks." Ryan and I said as we got out of the car and got onto the private jet.

Pretty soon, the jet took off and headed to God knows where.

The ride was silent most of the way and I couldn't really tell what Ryan was thinking. But I really wished I could, like the way he could figure me out so easily.

The silence didn't last long when Ryan broke the silence "But, look . . . if you didn't like it. I am sorry. I've never done this to anybody before. Nobody. Not even my family, so this experience is new to me as well. But I really hope you liked it, because you are turning 18 and I really want to make it special for you . . . " he said, finally looking at me out of the corner of his eyes.

I smiled, "No, I really liked it. I loved it. This is the best birthday ever. No one has ever been thoughtful to me as you did."

"It was a special day . . . you made it special for me. Thank you - I'm not even sure if you know how much I want to thank you, but I don't know how to express it. Saying is the least I could do, but I want you to know that I am very happy and I loved it."

He smiled and gave his patent wink making my heart flustered.

I threw my arms around him and hugged him really tight.

"Thank you so much, Ryan." I whispered in his blonde hair.

Ryan's chest rumbled as he chuckled, "You're welcome."

He held me closer to him as he buried his head in my hair.

I blushed a little, just thinking about it. Ryan pulled away chuckling.

I looked at him, "Could you please stop listening to my thoughts."

He laughed again, "It's just very tempting."

"I swear!" I said.

"Shhh! Breakfast is coming. Your favorite; scrambled eggs with ketchup and pancakes with maple syrup on the side." he said.

Just by hearing the word 'breakfast', I felt my appetite was increased suddenly.

The flight attendant gave us our breakfast.

'Thank you Ryan . . . for everything' Even though I knew that he could not talk back to me unless we mate or it is the full moon, but he could hear me.

He looked at my direction and I could see that the corner of his mouth lifted a little.

After the plane landed and we got off. We walked on the beaches of Brazil.

"You want to go snorkeling?" Ryan asked looking into my eyes.

His eyes were incredibly green. It was a beautiful shade of green.

"Snorkeling?" I asked.

"Yeah." he said smiling.

"Sure."

"Come." he said, bringing me into a snorkeling shop.

We went into the shop and it was very crowded.

"Wow, so many people." I murmured to myself.

Ryan grabbed all of the snorkeling materials and paid for it.

It was like the easiest thing for him, like he knew everything at the top of his mind. "You know how to swim in really deep water, right?" he asked.

I looked into his eyes. I didn't know if I saw concern, blankness or something else. "OH! NO! I can't. I can't even swim a feet deep." I said, sarcastically.

"Then would you like your float? Or a safety belt?" he said, handing me my Snorkeling gears at me.

"Oh yes, I could even like a lifeguard next to me and all of my boats." I said, smirking.

He rolled his eyes walking ahead of me, "You coming, yes or no?"

"I am right behind you!" I said.

He didn't reply, but instead he walked to a cliff.

I couldn't stop staring at his bare back. Even his back was distracting. The way the muscle moved around when he moved his arms a little and the way his muscles tenses when he climbed over a small rock.

I nearly pushed Ryan over the cliff when he stopped walking, due to my distracting thoughts.

"We're here?" I asked.

"No, we're not here. I just wanted to stop here because there is an ice cream stand here." he said sarcastically.

"But sadly there is no ice cream stand here." I said smiling,

"And I thought that you don't eat stuff out on the streets."

"Ok so to start Snorkeling, we have to jump down and you just have to follow me when you jump down." Ryan said changing the subject.

"Wait, we are jumping off a cliff?" I asked, "That is approximately 1,000 feet off the ground. Hell no!"

"But you want to snorkle, right?" he said.

"Too bad, you never told me we had to jump off of a mountain. No thanks, I'm out." I said, taking a big step backward.

"I thought you knew how to snorkel." he said.

"I said swimming."crossing my arms.

"Awh, you are no fun at all." he said smirking.

However that really got to me.

'I am fun! I am!' I thought.

'THEN YOU SHOULD SHOW HIM HOW FUN YOU ARE!!!' My wolf, Adrianne said slyly.

And I will!

"NO! I am fun! I am fun!" I said.

"Yepp." he said, popping his 'p'.

"Shut up and I will prove it!" I said, immediately.

"Deal, but I go in first and you have to jump right after." he said.

"Deal!" I said without any hesitation.

But it was until Ryan jumped into the water that I realized what I've got myself into.

'Thanks.' I said, flatly to Adrianne.

ANYTIME! Adrianne said goofily.

'Don't take it the good way, there is no positive in that!'

In the back of my mind I could hear Adrianne giggling.

"Are you coming?" Ryan shouted down below.

"You're ok, right? Still in one whole piece?" I asked.

"No! I think I've broken all of my bones!" he shouted back.

I rolled my eyes, "I take back everything I've asked."

"Are you going to jump? You are taking so long." he shouted.

"I don't know." I said nervously.

"I'll catch you, please." he said grinning up at me.

"I doubt that!" I said.

"Just jump, come on!!" he said.

"Fine!" I said, slowly putting the goggles on and adjusting it on my face to make it feel comfortable.

"Ready?"

"Absolutely not!" I shouted back.

He waited.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes before I jumped off the cliff.

I swear in that moment I felt like i was going to die. It was the scariest moment in my life and I screamed my lungs out.
