Please
I slowly stepped out, testing my balance on founr inch heels. Bella and Alice latched onto my arms, and we walked to the top of the stairs. Carlisle had his eyes closed.
"Carlisle James, if you open your eyes before I say so, I will KILL you," Alice threatened.
He swallowed. "Yes, ma'am."
He looked abslutely amazing. His black tuxedo made his pale skin paler, and brought out his nearly-strawberry blonde hair. I couldn't wait to see what it did to his eyes.
As we reached the bottom of the stairs, Emmett whistled at me. I glared.
"Okay. Open...now." Carlisle opened his eyes. They were beautiful. They were a bright electric blue against the black of the tuxedo. A look of love and lust filled his eyes. Was that for...me?
"Carlisle, you can gawk at your girlfriend later. Let's go," Alice said.
"You're going to have to help," I said, sticking out my leg, and holding onto the staircase railing. He stared a lot longer than nessescary.
"I won't let you go," he said, holding onto my waist and leading us to the Mercedes. I climbed in, and when we were on the road, I finally said, "So, what do you think?" I gestured to myself.
"I'm not at liberty to say what I think. It's probably illegal," he said, swallowing.
I blushed. Oh, wow.
Within five minutes, we were at the City Hall.
--
Right after the ceremony finished, Carlisle asked me to dance.
"But I can't dance in stelletos!" I protested.
"You won't have to worry," he said, dragging me to the floor. He gripped my waist, and lifted me up, sliding his feet under mine.
Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' started to play. "I have to thank Alice," Carlisle said.
"Why?
"She repuested this for me. I love this song."
"So do I."
We danced to my current favorite song, and surprisingly, I didn't fall, although that probably had to do with my dancing partner.
"There'll be girls across the nation that'll eat this up babe..."
It was our song.
Carlisle smiled, and kissed my lips softly.
"Love, love, love, love. I do it for love, love, love, love," I sang.
All of a sudden, Carlisle took me through the french doors and onto the balcony. We danced until the last chorus when she said it. Right after the song ended.
He looked straight into my eyes. "I love you."
I stopped breathing. Doctor Sexy loves me? This can't be right! Someone pinch me!
Worry flodded his sapphire eyes.
I kissed him hard, pressing against him. I pulled away. "I love you, too."
He face broke into a grin. He kissed me again. My leg lifted slowly, like in those movies. Stupid, I know. And I don't care.
Miraculously, 'Play my Music' came on. We pulled apart, and started to dance.
We danced for hours. When we wento home, Carlisle and I went right to his room.
I went to his bathroom and washed my face, and took off thise wretched heels. I realized that I could get my dress unzipped. "Carlisle?" I called.
He opened the door. "Yes, Love?" He was only in his pyjama pants.
"Unzipp me," I said.
He swallowed, and I saw his adam's apple bob. He came forward, and grabbed the zipper. He tugged it all the way down, and it slid all the way off. Carlisle swallowed harder.
I was wearing a lact white corset, and white bikini underwear.
Carlisle looked in the mirror, alarmed. "You have your belly button peirced?"
"It took you three months to figure taht out," I said
There was a small Celtic cross with a white gem in the middle dangling from my navel.
"You like?" I asked, teasing him.
"Still not at liberty to say, Love," he responded, putting his hand on the back of his neck. I laughed.
"Could you get me my pyjamas?"
"Which ones?" he asked.
"Just grab my bag," I told him, fiddling with my belly button ring.
He left and returned moments later. "I-uh-I'll be out there if you need me," he said, his slight British accent making him sound cuter.
He left, and I reached behind me, pulling at the strings in the back. "Damn corset!" I yelled, trying to unhook it.
I heard Carlisle burst into peals of laughter.
"Carli! Help me!" I called, spinning in circles while trying to get the hook in the middle.
The door opened, and he popped his head in. He laughed again. "Love, you look like a puppy chasing its tail."
"Shut up and help me!"
"Okay, hold still." He gripped my shoulders, turning me to face the wall. U felt him sliwly unhook it. "Can you get it now?" I tried. I failed.
"No." I placed my hands over my brests so that I could hold up the front.
He slowly unlaced it, and I could feel the looseness of the corset. As his hands went lower, I could feel my heart hammer in my chest. He gave my neck a kiss as he finished. "I love you."
"I love you, too, Carlisle. I'll be out in a minute," I said, turning my head to see him.
He left, but not before winking.
I let the corset fall, and grabbed my bra, and a dress shirt of Carlisle's that I had snatched yesterday.
I opened the door, and saw that Carlisle was reading. He looked up, and almost dropped his book. "Is that my shirt?"
"It sure is," I said, crawling in next to him.
"Uh..What do you have on under it?" he asked, swallowing.
"Panties and my bra," I answered. "Is there a problem?"
"No, not at all," he replied, staring at me.
"Good," I said, before tackling him. I tickled his sides, sitting on top of him. I moved down, and grabbed his foot. "Hmmm...I wonder..." I drug my finger across the bottom of his foot. He laughed. I jumped back up to his stomach, and tickled him again. But somehow, he ended up on top of me, tickling my sides.
"Who's the winner now?" he asked as I laughed endlessly.
"I still am!" I said, tickling his sides as he sat on top of me. He started to laugh, and then he pinned my arms above my head.
"I win," he whispered into my ear. I shivered. He slowly lowered his lips to my own. He kissed me slowly. I hitched my leg over his hip.
Carlisle pulled away and looked down at me. "Isabella, I-uh we," he stuttered.
"I know. I'm not ready either. I didn't mean to imply anything," I said, blushing.
He rolled off of me, and onto his side. "I know. Sort of. I just don't want to rush."
I nodded, yawning. "We should sleep."
He reached over, turning off the lamp. "I love you," he said, pulling my back to his chest.
"I love you, too," I replied.
We were both asleep within minutes.
.:CHRISTMAS MORNING:.
"Come on," Carlisle said, dragging me up the stairs.
"What?" I asked.
"You have a present upstairs." He led me into his room.
He reached under his pillow and pulled out a rectangle velvet box. He handed it to me. I sliowly opened it, and when I could see the contents, I gasped. Inside sat a beautiful sapphire heart necklace. It had white diamonds surrounding it. The sapphire was the same shad of blue as Carlisle's eyes. I looked up at him. "Oh."-pause-"My."-pause-"God."-pause. "Carlisle, I - I don't know what to say. It's gorgeous."
He took it out of the box, and put it on me. I turned around and kissed him hard.
"I love you. Thank you."
"I love you, too. Let's go. They're waiting," he said, dragging me back downstairs. The second Carlisle was away from me, Alice, Rose, and Bella came to look.
"WOW!" the all excliamed.
I smiled, sitting down.
--
After presents, Emmett and Jasper claimed to have a big announcement. They made Alice and Rose stand up. They both dropped down on one knee, and produced a velvet box.
"Mary Alice Masen Cullen, will you marry me?" Jasper asked Alice.
"Rosalie Lillian Hale, will you marry me?" Emmett asked Rose.
They both looked like someone had just told them they had won a million dollars. "Yes," they bothe responded.
We had a few bottles of chapmagne.
Emmett and Rosalie went to my house, Alice and Jasper went to Jasper's, and Edward and Bella went upstairs. Carlisle and I went to his room.
"I love you," I said, right before kissing him. We toppled back onto the bed.
--
I woke up, and clutched the sheets around my bare body. Last night was amazing. I viewed the room and giggled. Clothes were strung everywhere. I got dressed, and headed downstairs.
Around noon, Carlisle and Bella left for work. I was lucky, I didn't have work. Edward and I were home alone. We were sitting down to watch a movie when my phone rang upstairs. I ran up and answered it.
"Love?"
"Yes?"
"I just called to let you know that Bella and I are going to be late. Her shift at Newton's Outfitter's is running late. Emmett, Rose, Jasper, and Alice win't be home until tomorrow. I have to go. I have a surgery to do."
"Okay."
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
"Bye."
Click.
On my way down the stairs, I heard a crack, and a sharp pain shot up through my leg. I cried out, and collapsed in the stairs. My ankle had twisted.
Edward appeared at the bottom of the stairs. He took one look at my face, which had tears streaming down it, and my rapidly swelling ankle, and ran up the stairs. He picked me up, and set me on the couch. I heard him get some ice, and he came back with a baggie full of it.
He set the ice on my foot. I cried out again. "Sorry. What happened?"
"My ankle - twisted under me. Loud crack. Sharp pain. Nearly broken," I choked out through the pain and tears.
"How do you know that it isn't broken?" he asked, moving behind me so that I could lean on him. We were in the center of the 'L'.
"I've broken my ankle before, Edward. It hurts-"gasp"-a helluva lot worse," I told him, wincing.
"Should I-" I cut him off.
"Carlisle's in surgery, Bella's going to be late, and Alice, Jazz, Rose, and Emm aren't coming home until tomorrow," I told him, leaning on his chest. "Turn on the T.V."
"Oh," he said, turning on the T.V. He turned to something, and my head gradually slid into his lap, as I drifted. I felt a blanket being put over me, and I clutched Edward's leg so that he wouldn't leave. I heard him sigh, and lift his feet up on the other half of the 'L'. I fell into the darkness after that.
--
"Edward, where is Isabella?" a deep voice asked.
"Right here," he answered groggily.
"Oh my. What happened?"
"She nearly broke her ankle."
"May I ask why her head is in your lap?" the voice asked.
"Well, it started on my shoulder, then my chest, and slid down there as she fell asleep...," Edward said.
"Yes, she does that often. Am I the first one home?"
"Yes, Bella isn't home yet," Edward murmured.
I heard footsteps approach me, and the voice said, "I'm going to take her upstairs. And Edward? Thank you."
I felt myself being lifted, and then I drifted back to sleep.
The links to Alice and Rosalie and Bella's engagement rings and my necklace will be on my profile soon.
Read and review! Thanks! And I'm sorry for the long wait. I write this on paper first. And I finished the story on paper, sooooo...Yeah. :D
