Hey everyone here is a little one-shot I wrote while I was on vacation Carlisle and Bella are one of my newly discovered favourite couplings I'm not saying never but maybe one day I will extend the story into a full length but at this exact moment I don't want to take on another full length story. I hope you all like it! Btw I didnt use my beta on this one so if there is anything wrong blame me!
I stood outside the doorway of the diner as I did every Wednesday for the past 6 months, looking through the window I saw him sitting there as I have for said 6 months. He was waiting there for me to join him, we became fast friends and before we knew it we were having dinner together every week. Things have changed for me, I mean I have always been attracted to him but now there were feelings on my part. As of last night at 6:30pm my best friend Alice and I decided I was going to do this.
It was a humid September day I had stepped into my favourite diner for a cold sandwich and an ice coffee, after my long day at school I really needed some coffee. After they made my sandwich and coffee I looked around for somewhere to sit. It wasn't uncommon for the Roadside to be busy on hot days; they made the cheapest and the best iced coffee for miles.
"You can sit here I am leaving in 10 minutes anyway" a man sitting near me said. He was beautiful and even that was an understatement. Beautiful blonde locks that you just wanted to run your fingers through and ice blue eyes that could see into your soul.
"Thanks" I mumbled sitting across from him, he groaned at his phone and laid his head on the table.
"Are you ok?" I asked.
"Never get married" he replied looking up at me.
"Isn't that what everyone wants in life? Marriage babies and a career" I said and he laughed.
"Divorce is the part that I hate" He stated.
"I watched my parents go through a divorce when I was 6, it's not easy" I said.
"My daughters 3 so I am hoping she doesn't remember much" he explained.
"I'm sure she won't" I said smiling at him which he returned with a smile of his own.
"I'm Bella by the way" I said.
"Carlisle" he said holding his hand put for me to shake. That day started one of the most amazing friendships I have.
I went in and ordered my usual sandwich along with my iced coffee as I waited I thought about the key in my pocket. The key with a round tag with a 71 on it and the plan I established with Alice. How was I supposed to tell him everything I was feeling, I am a 20 year old college student. He has a child and I don't think I have enough to offer him, well more like them. If my best friend Alice was here she would say 'Isabella swan you are a beautiful sophisticated smart woman and you have plenty to offer him. Now shut up and go get your man' I laughed at the thought of Alice, I grabbed my stuff and head toward my seat with Carlisle.
"Hey sweetheart how has your week been?" he asked.
"Long, who knew there was so much to know about English" I said and he laughed.
"Oh Bella you are going to school to become an editor and publisher, it's not exactly going to be easy" he stated and it was my turn to laugh.
"How has your week been? I asked him, we really don't get to have too many conversations outside of our weekly dinner.
"It's been long, my schedule is picking up and work and I have my custody hearing next week I need to relax" he explained.
"Me too" I stated. We continued to talk and enjoy our dinner; Carlisle had just got up to refill his coffee. I had decided it was now or never, I left the key on the table along with the note on it. I ran out to my car and drove away being as cool as possible turning my cell phone off in the process.I walked into the hotel room to see the candles laid out along with the rose petals, call it a cliché if you want to but the thought is romantic. I remembered all of Alice's suggestions and she swore he wouldn't be able to resist it.
"What am I supposed to say to get him to come to the hotel?" I asked Alice.
"I don't know babe" she answered.
"I get so awkward and weird when I have to talk to people about crap like that" I said placing my head in my hands.
"Write him a note then" she said.
"What am I supposed to do hand him a note and walk away?" I questioned.
"That or you could wait until he goes to the bathroom or something" she stated.
"What should I write?" I asked.
"Whatever is in your heart" she laughed handing me paper and a pen. I spent about 45 minutes writing and writing until I was satisfied with it.
"I want to read it" Alice said.
"I will read it to you" I stated.
"Ok go" she rushed.
"To my dearest Carlisle, first off I want to apologize for leaving you at the diner. I didn't know how to say the things I needed to say, I have been scared to tell you how I really feel about you in fear that you would disappear from my life and that's the last thing I want. These past 6 months have been some of the best of my life and I have been finding myself falling in love with you. It is one of the greatest feelings but some of the scariest. I want you to know that I want to be with you 100%, I want to meet Rosalie and take her to the park, the zoo and all the wonderful things we can do. I left the key to the motel and if you want to be with me too I will wait until 9:30 for you. If not I completely understand and I will see you next Friday for dinner. From Isabella" I said smiling at Alice and she gave me the thumbs up.
9:00 rolled by then 9:30 then by 10:00 I knew he wasn't coming. I texted Alice telling her he never showed, she asked if I wanted to come to her house. I politely turned her down saying I was too tired to drive. After we said our I love you texts I turned on the notebook and ate a bunch of candy. As I was falling asleep in my mess of candy and tear filled tissues I vaguely remember the part where Ali is shoving Noah into his truck screaming at him.
My eyes were extremely heavy when I woke, I didn't understand why I was waking up. The TV was of and he only light coming into the room was the light from the window.
"Are you awake?" someone asked from beside me and I yelled flipping over only to see Carlisle smiling down at me.
"Oh my goodness you scared me" I said placing my hand over my heart which was beating extremely fast.
"I'm sorry" he said resting his hand on the side of my face, I smiled back at him smiling at me searching my eyes for anything.
"I didn't think you would still be here" he stated.
"I wasn't going to be but I was way too upset to drive" I said.
"I am so sorry baby Rosalie is having a hard time living apart from me" he explained, I immediately felt like crap for doubting him the way that I did.
"I'm sorry Carlisle you should be with your daughter right now" I said.
"She is sleeping right now, plus I need to have this conversation with you" he stated.
"Oh" was my brilliant response.
"I know I'm falling in love with you Bella and I know I want to be with you too" he confessed.
"I didn't think I was good enough for you" I confessed as well.
"Bella I never want you to say that again, I am sorry I never told you how I felt sooner. I thought you knew from all the touches and looks, I should have made it clearer" he said.
"I'm sorry too" I said.
"All that matters now is that we have a fresh start" he said leaning in to kiss me.
"To our future" I said that night we didn't leave the hotel room and that was the start of the most amazing relationship with the love of my life.
Another quick couple of questions would you be interested in a full length story? And would you be interested in me making this a two shot with Carlisle's POV? With an added lemon?
