Romance is just around the corner-
Setting- Carlisle surprises Esme while shes working in the garden
POV- Esme
Today has turned out to be a rather peaceful day. All the kids were at school and Carlisle was working at the hospital so that left me alone. The weather was nice out today, so I decided to get some gardening done.
I have always taken pride in my garden. Its one of the things that from my human days that I still enjoy. It's such a small human thing that brings so much relaxation and beauty to my life.
I was planting a row of daisies when my cellphone went off. I thought it was pretty silly when Carlisle bought me that small piece of technology. I was usually home, so I found no need to carry it around. But after a lot of persuasion, I took to carrying it around. Anyway, I wiped the dirt of my hands and picked up my phone. It was a text message from Carlisle. That was quite unusual. He wasn't a fan of this childish technology. But it must have been somewhat important so I clicked the "Read" button. It read, " Dear my darling wife, Romance is just around the corner". What could that possible mean?
In less than five minutes, I got my answer. I was putting my gardening stuff back into the shed when I heard the quiet roar of Carlisle Mercedes coming down our long driveway. He parked the car and in less then a second, he had me in his arms.
" Well, Hello their my lovely husband. What brings you home so early in the day?" I asked as he placed small kisses on my neck.
" Can't a husband just some home to spend time with his wife?" he teasingly asked.
" Of course you can. I love spending time with you."
He set me back on the ground, but still kept his arms around me. He then said, " Good. Because were going to be spending a lot of time together today."
"Really now?" I asked. We both leaned in for a kiss at the same time. Carlisle's kisses always leave me breathless. They are so gentle, but full of powerful passion. The taste of his kiss is something that I always look forward to.
" Yes, really. I have something planned for us tonight. If you don't mind, of course."
" I never mind spending time with my husband. What are we going to do?"
"It's a surprise. Lets go take a shower and get dressed. You're covered in dirt, my darling." he said as he wiped a splotch of mud of my face.
After taking a wonderful shower together and getting dressed, I was seated on the white couch in our living room. The rain was dripping softly outside the glass windows and the sun was starting to go down. Carlisle walked into the room carrying a picnic basket. What could that crazy man of mine possibly have planned?
"Well, my beautiful, my original plans wouldn't have worked. And thanks to Alice, I had time to change it a bit. We originally were going to go have a "Picnic" by the lake, but this will suffice." he began to pull things out of the basket. Their was a blanket, a movie, a bundle of roses and a small, black box.
" Movies and roses? What have I done to deserve all of this?"
" You exist."
I smiled as I read the movie title. " The Notebook? Your willingly going to watch a romance movie with me?"
" Well, I don't know how much watching of the TV I'll be doing, but yes. And I once heard you tell me that this was your favorite movie to watch on a stormy night." and just as he said that a bright flash of lightening lite up the sky.
Carlisle moved back the couch and laid out the pile of blankets onto the floor. After putting the movie in we cuddled up together on the floor.
"This is nice; just spending time with you. Between the kids and work I feel like we never have any alone time." I said.
Carlisle turned to look at me with his golden orbs of concern and love. " I didn't know you felt that way. I didn't mean to stop spending time with you, its just... things keep getting In the way."
" Oh, Carlisle. Your job is very important. Besides, you enjoy it. And you always put the kids first just like it should be. I don't mind sharing you will others. Anyway, moments like these make up for everything. I love you."
" I love you too, my darling. I have something for you."
He handed me the small black box that he had taken from the basket. " Open it."
" You didn't have to get me anything, Carlisle."
" Hey, I enjoy spoiling my wife. Don't ruin my fun."
I gasped in shock when I opened the box. It was a small, golden, charm bracelet. There were a bunch of charms on it already. Their was one for everyone of our "Children" as well as one for Nessie. Their also was a heart with an infinity symbol sketched on it.
" That one is proof of how much I love you. It means that you will have my heart until the end of infinity. I really do love you, and I am so overjoyed that you love me back." he explained as he clasped it onto my wrist.
" Thank you, I love it. And how could someone not love you? Its practically impossible." I said as I planted a kiss on his lips.
Carlisle was right. There wasn't much movie watching going on that night. He was also right when he said there was a lot of romance around the corner.
I hope it was okay. Please write a review, and check out my other stories. You're all awesome!
