EMMA’s POV :
TWO MONTHS LATER -
Summertime went by so fast.It really was true what they say, time flies when you're having fun.
Suddenly it was August and my birthday was right around the corner.
Thinking back, my birthday last year was what started this whole adventure in the first place.
I guess it was only fitting that I decided to spend my birthday this year with lan.
"So, where is he taking you for your birthday?"Carrie asked.
Tiff, Carrie, and I were hanging out in my room as I told them about my plans tomorrow.
"I have no idea.He wouldn't tell me.He just said to pack an overnight bag and tell my parents I'll be back the next day,"
I said as I folded my clothes neatly and put them inside a duffel bag.
"He's getting totally you back for when you surprised him on his birthday,"
Tiff replied as she picked up a few more outfits from my closet for me to choose.
"Not complaining though,"
I said as I picked the red sweater.
"What did you tell your parents?"Carrie asked.
"That I’m sleeping over at your place.Birthday sleepover thing.The usual,"
"Got it,"they both nodded.
"Are you excited?"
"I'm more than excited.I'm thrilled.Exhilarated.Exuberant.Enraptured—"
"Okay, okay, enough with the SAT words,"Tiff rolled her eyes.
"Someone’s been doing a lot of studying over the summer,"Carrie teased.
"If only I have a handsome young teacher at my beck and call,"Tiff smiled slyly.
"Shut up you two, my parents are right downstairs,"I hissed, but of course I was smiling.
"Promise that you'll call us as soon as you get back,"Carrie said.
"We want details.Which is a small price considering we're covering your ass,"Tiff added.
"Of course,"I laughed.
"You guys will always be the first to know,"
"We've been driving for over six hours.You're really not gonna tell me where we're going?"I said as I kicked my feet up on the dashboard.
"Nope,"he said coolly.
"You're cruel,"I pouted.
lan had picked me up from my house at six in the morning.The sun was barely rising.
He got some iced coffees and a red apple for good measure.It was cute.
"Now you how I felt," he laughed,
"But hey, the payoff will be worth it,"
"How much longer though? I have to pee again,"
The last time I peed was three hours ago when we stopped by a diner for some pancakes and more coffee.
"I'll find us a rest stop," he said simply.
"So it’s still a long while away, huh?"I sighed.
"Six more hours to go,"
"Twelve hours drive in total...wait a minute, are you taking me to New Jersey?!"
I jumped on my seat when I made the connection.
He didn't say a word but that smile on his face gave it away.
"You are, aren't you?!"
"Would that be okay?"he turned to look at me through his Ray-Bans.
"That would be..more than okay!"
I was getting so excited at the thought of seeing Kirsten again, and to be back at lan’s childhood home.We had such great memories back there.
"Great.Cause my mom's making dinner and everything,"
"Oh, that’s so sweet of her,"
