I was getting ready for a run when I heard a soft knock at the door.
"Come in," I said.
The door slowly opened to reveal my dad.
"Yes?" I asked.
"The new doctor arrived yesterday. Dr. Cullen is his name," He said. I smiled.
"Oh, yeah everyone's been talking about the new doctor," I said.
"Well...he invited us to dinner with his family," He said.
Well that was awfully nice of him.
"Oh, that was nice of him. Today?" I asked. He nodded.
"Well, okay Daddy I'm just gonna go for my run. Make sure you put something nice on," I said. He groaned.
I laughed and picked up my iPod.
"I'll be back in a little bit," I said kissing his cheek.
"Be careful," He said. I smiled.
"I always am," I said quoting him.
He laughed. I put my headphones and left the house. I always ran in the woods because it made me feel free. I didn't have a care in the world when I was running. I decided to only run half of my usual route since we had dinner plans. I made it back to the house safely, but I felt like someone was watching me.
"I'm home! I'm just going to jump in the shower!" I yelled.
I didn't wait for his response, and ran upstairs. I picked out a outfit and set it on my bed, and ran to shower. The cold water felt amazing on my skin.
"Rae! We're gonna be late if you don't hurry!" He yelled.
I sighed and jumped out of the shower. I blow dried my hair and pinned it up in a messy bun. I ran to my room and quickly got dressed. I looked at myself and smiled. I was finally ready.
"Ready?" He asked.
I nodded. He motioned for me to go and I went straight to the cruiser. We sat in silence the entire trip, but that was okay. Father wasn't much of a talker, and I wouldn't make him uncomfortable. It didn't take long to get to the Cullen's. Dr. Cullen and his wife were outside waiting for us.
"Ready?" I asked.
He nodded. We got out of the car.
"Chief Swan, welcome. Is this your daughter?" Dr. Cullen asked.
"Yes, this is my daughter Rae," Dad said. I smiled and waved.
"Please to meet you Rae. I am Carlisle Cullen, and this is my wife Esme," He said.
"Hello," I said.
I wanted to slap myself in the face. I was so much like father at times.
"Do come in! Dinner's almost ready," Esme spoke.
Her voice was like honey. So smooth and amazing. We followed the couple inside.
"Holy shit," I whispered.
This house was stunning!
"These are our children...Edward, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, and my nephew Liam. Children, this is Chief Charlie Swan and his lovely daughter Rae," Esme spoke.
They were all beautiful. The big burly one...Emmett was his name I think was just drop dead gorgeous. I couldn't stop staring. They all said hello.
"Please excuse us Mother and Father. Liam needs a ride to the airport. It was a pleasure to meet you both," Rosalie said.
"Of course," Carlisle spoke.
"Nice to meet you both," Liam said smiling.
I waved. It was the first time I had not felt beautiful surrounded by the Cullen's.
"Rae! I love your outfit!" Alice the pixy said.
I was snapped back to reality.
"Thanks! I wasn't sure it looked okay," I said.
I couldn't help but start fidgeting with the hem of my shirt.
"Nonsense! It looks amazing!" She said. I felt slightly better.
"Why don't you go talk with Alice, and the other kids. I'll call you when dinners ready," Dad said.
I nodded. Alice walked over and intertwined her arm with mine.
"I can tell we are going to be great friends!" Alice chimed. I smiled.
"I get the same feeling," I said. We talked about fashion, boys, and life.
She told me that they were all adopted, and that her and Jasper were together. I told her about my mother, and my half sister Isabella.
"Hey ladies dinner is ready," Emmett spoke.
I looked up and was mesmerized by his face.
"Thanks Emmett we will be right down," Alice said. I smiled.
"Shall we?" I asked.
Alice smiled. We went downstairs. Everything smells so amazing. Everyone sat down. I felt like father and I were the only ones that were eating. Everyone was talking among themselves.
"So what grade are you in Rae," Esme asked. I looked up.
"I already graduated this past year...I'm starting online classes this next coming semester," I said.
"That's incredible! What are you majoring in?" Esme asked.
"Business management. I want to own my own business one day," I said.
"That's a wonderful goal sweetie," Esme said. I smiled.
"Thanks," I said.
"Well it's getting late...We should get going Rae," Dad said. I nodded.
"Alright," I said.
"Well Chief Swan it was wonderful having you and your daughter over. We should do it again," Carlisle said.
"Sure thing," Dad said, I laughed.
"Thank you for having us! If you need anything let us know," I said.
Alice and Emmett walked us outside.
"Here is my number. We should hang out sometime maybe go shopping!" Alice said. I nodded.
"YES! I need a shopping buddy!" I yelled hugging her.
Emmett started laughing.
"Did you need some company tomorrow?" He asked. I smiled.
"Sure, it gets lonely driving by myself," I said.
"Rae, lets go," Dad said. I nodded.
"I'll text you my address," I said.
He nodded. I waved to my new best friend.
"So, Emmett is going to go with you?" Dad asked. I nodded.
"I don't like that," He said. I smiled.
"Daddy, do you want me to go by myself? I feel much more comfortable with Emmett going with me," I said. He sighed.
"How did I manage to raise such a wonderful daughter?" He asked. I smiled.
"Love you daddy," I said.
"Love you too," He said.
The rest of the ride home was quite. I texted Alice my address since I didn't have Emmett's number. My phone vibrated. I picked it up and it was an unknown number.
"Who is this," I said to myself.
As I was about to text back I got another message. It was Emmett. Alice had given him my number. I smiled. He was gonna be here at 8am. I couldn't wait for tomorrow.
