@wordscanburn // celebrate peyton fucking reynolds it’s the law
The truth is that Bella has never been particularly good at birthdays. Her experience with them prior to New York was her mother forgetting herself until a couple of days later. And some weird slapped together bullshit that left her with a big distaste for the day. But this was different, this was Peyton, she deserved...well a lot more than Bella could give but that didn’t mean Bella wouldn’t try. She’d started saving months in advance and doing research until she found the perfect place. The Equinox Resort. It was beautiful and had a spa and axe throwing, plus she’d found a ton of good places to eat in the area.
Beforehand she’d set everything up to the best of her ability. Including plenty of alcohol waiting in their suite. One that has a balcony with a view. She wants so much for everything to be perfect. Maybe because some part of her was still more insecure than she’d like to admit. Like she was just waiting for this spell to lift and for Peyton to realize that Bella was just...ordinary. A boring and insignificant creature she shouldn’t waste more time on. That would make far more sense than them continuing on this...whatever this path is that they’re on.
To get Peyton there Bella disguised it as a trip to get the best breakfast burritos ever. The drive was very similar so there was no reason for suspicion until Bella passed the exit. And then the next one. “Oh, uh, yeah well about that...” She explains while finally pulling off. “I totally lied and I’m kidnapping you for your birthday but wait until we get there to decide if you wanna call the cops on me.” Bella says with a big grin. They’re not too far off from the resort thankfully so it won’t be long until they get there.
