X-X

' Alice?... Aaaalice?... ALICE!' I finally got my friend's attention.
' Yes, dear?' She looked at me as if she hadn't been talking about dresses for the last fifteen minutes.
' First of all, I do not like salmon, second this dress is made to show off the boobs I don't even have and third, why such fancy dresses it's not even our Senior Year Prom. We're just juniors!' 'Oh dear Esme, you definetly do not get a thing about it! Salmon looks perfect against your skin, well we surely could work on the whole V neck thing and... I do not think it's 'too fancy' for the prom, I mean it's the prom!' she smiled sweetly. I rolled my eyes, it had no use arguing with her. I got down from the little bench in front of the mirrors (just like those wedding dress stores, you know?) Alice had in her room.
' Ok Ali, I'll let you work on my dress but I need to go home 'cause I got lots of algebra homework to do, okay?'
'Yup' she grinned. I changed into my dark blue jeans, plaid vans and Zoombie MJ tank top and went back into Alice's room. 'Alice? Aaalice?'

I was going down stairs when I saw Carlisle standing by the couch turning the flat screen TV on and froze.
That's when he looked up at me and shot the most graceful smile.

'Hello Esme, how are you doing?' oh, I've forgotten how beautiful his voice was.
'Oh.. hm, hi Dr Cullen. I'm fine, how are you?' His sweet smile turned into a big grin 'Good. I'm fine too.' I couldn't help but grin too, knowing he was doing fine was more than enough reason to grin.
Getting back to Earth, probably after some awkward silence. 'Have you seen Alice, Dr. Cullen?'
'No, not since I came home.' 'Weird, was just in her room helping me with the prom dress.' Then Alice came strolling from the outside. 'Oh hi Daddy! I was just... hm, trying to get range to call Jaz's cell.' 'I see...'

I cleared my throath 'Ali, I think I'll go home now.' I said a little embarrassed.
'Don't you want to have dinner with us, Es?' She asked kindly. I wanted to kill her. I always refused Alice's invites for meals with her dad. 'No, thanks. I really should get going.' they shouldn't get me wrong, but I'd loose composure if I staying another minute arround Carlisle so I REALLY should get going.
They both followed me outside and scorted me to my car. 'Nice seeing you Dr. Cullen. See you tomorrow Ali.' But when I tried starting my car it simply stayed there, dead. 'Oh no! what's wrong?' I asked almost in panic.
'What is it?' Alice asked surprised. 'My car! It won't start!' I tried again. and again but the universe was conspiring against me.
'Must be the engine.' Carlisle said very calm.

After a few minutes trying to find out what was wrong with Juliette (my car) we all gave up. 'I'm sorry Esme, I think she died.' Alice said sadly. 'Well, my dad could give you a ride home!' 'What?' my eyes widened.' No, I mean, I don't wanna bother,he must be tired why don't you give me a ride home Ali?'
'No! I have to work on your dress! My dad can do it, he's not tired, right dad?' she looked at him, pleading. 'Yes sure, it wouldn't bother me, at all.' he smiled.
'hmm, okay then.' I smiled. 'Great! See you at school, Es' she blinked at me and ran inside again.
'Shall we go?' Carlisle said holding the key to the Mercedes.
'Hmm yeah.' I said, probably tomato-red

We were almost at the highway when I broke the silence:
'May I turn on the radio?' 'Yes, of course.' And as I did 'Stay With Me' by You Me At Six started playing and filled the car. 'Oh! I love this song! Actually You Me At Six one of my favorite bands!' I said happily. 'They sound good. And for his accent I can tell that he is British.' he said emphasizing his own accent. I giggled 'Yes, they are. My dream is to get to tour with them someday.' My eyes probably sparkled as I said. At least that's what the boys used to say that happened when I talked about this. Carlisle's expression changed suddenly.
'Oh, well, I'm pretty sure your band is really good, so with a little bit of luck, why not?' he giggled but I could see it wasn't natural. 'Th... thanks.' the atmosphere was heavy so I decided to keep quiet for a bit. I stared out the window... should it feel this way? I sighed. 'What else do you like Esme?' Carlisle asked gently again. Still looking away from him I smiled.
Turning to him I started 'My very favorite band is New Found Glory I also like All Time Low, Say Anything, Forever The Sickest Kids and Set Your Goals.' 'I'm sorry about my lack of musical culture, but the only one I've ever heard of is New Found Glory, because Emmett appreciates it too.' I absent mindly smiled 'No problem I can show you all of them someday.' Oops hold on! 'I mean...' I cleared my throat 'borrow you the CDs if you'd like.' What was I thinking?
'Yes I'd like that' Carlisle warm smile was wide. 'What about you Carlisle?' I asked smiling too. 'What about what?' he narrowed his brows and looked at me confused.
' What kind of music you like?' I asked giggling. 'Oh that. Well, I'm more into classical music. But I also liked the way The Wonders and The Beatles sounded.' he smiled at me. I nodded surprised. 'I really liked The Wonders. Please don't throw anything at me but.. I was never a huge fan on The Beatles.' Carlisle laughed at that.
'Don't worry I won't throw anything at you.' he winked and I pretended to sigh in relief. 'I'll simply open your door and let you fall off of the car.' We both laughed at that. I felt so happy right there. And I haven't felt this way since... well since I first met him at the hospital.

The nice talk continued and I only noticed we had entered the town when Carlisle stopped at a red light. His phone started ringing and I bit my bottom lip as he answered it. 'Oh, yes Dr. Snow, I'll stop by to pick it up. Thank you.' he hung up and smiled at me. 'A patient's exams are ready and I'll have to pick it up after driving you home.' 'Oh I see. Too serious injuries?' I asked concerned. He smiled tenderly 'Not really, but I'd very much like to work hard on this case. It's a little boy, been sick for two weeks, we all would like to finally send him home.' he was so passionate when he talked about his job. It was a beautiful thing to see.

When we finally stopped in front of my house I didn't really want to leave. I wanted to stay there and just talk to him, feel that sweet smell that came from him and hear his perfect voice and look into his gorgeous golden eyes.I held back a sigh and starting searching for my keys in my backpack. 'Oh no!' 'What wrong?' he asked concerned.
'My keys! I left them... in my car! Oh God, I can't believe!' I was so stupid.
'Oh... do you want to go back and get them?' 'No thanks. I'll just wait for my mom, she'll come home at...' I looked at my clock and sighed: it was 5pm. 'Six thirty.' 'Do you want me to drop you somewhere so you can meet her before that?' 'Well, she went to Port Angeles with some friends of hers...thank you anyway. I can always walk to Josh's of something.' I was so angry at myself.
'Or you can go pick the exams with me, we pick something up at Sratbucks and I'll bring you home again. What you think?' as he finished the sentence the smiled faded form his face 'I mean.. so you don't have to walk around, it'll be dark soon and...' he'd trail off so I answered quickly:
'I'd love to go.' I smiled

I knew it was terribly worng, but I was so damn happy I'd get to spend more time with him. We drove to the hospital and I waited in the car when he went to pick the exams.
And then he drove to Starbucks and since it was still 5h50m pm we decided to drink something in there.

I order a small caramel frappuccino and Carlisle said he wasn't thirsty so he didn't order anything. We stood there talking for fifty minutes and when he looked on the clock he seemed very alarmed. 'Oh! I should drive you home it's past six thirty.' he got up rapidly and we walked outside.

I didn't even see the time passing when I was with him. It felt to good. We talked about everything, I told him how I had felt when my parents got divorced and Gabi moved to Europe and he told how he never met his mother. We talked about literature, music, I told him which places I'd like to go to before I died and -believe it or not- we discussed politics! He told me about his job and how happy he felt when he got into Harvard Med. School, and told me about lots of different patients of his. And finally he told how alone he felt with the whole 'raising six teenagers without any woman touch to help'. Carlisle parked the car across the street from my house. I looked at him confused but also happy. Was he going to kiss me here?

'Esme, I really liked talking to you tonight and I do not want people to get us wrong. I've been more than just Alice's best friend...' He stopped to take a deep breath,
my own was caught in my throat. 'I feel like there is this connection between us, and after our time at Starbucks you clearly feel the same way.' 'Oh Carlisle, I'm so glad you know it!' and with that I leaned in for a hug and closed my eyes waiting for the kiss. But... it didn't come. Oh. My. God! What have I done?
I opened my eyes and Carlisle was staring down at me. Not so surprised I must say, but his eyes were still a little bit wide. Shit! Shit! Shit, shit SHIT!
Esme, you just tried to kiss your friend's father!Oh shit! what would Carlisle think about me? What would ALICE think about me? Shit!What was I thinking? He's not you class mate, for God's sake!
'Oh God!' I said getting up. 'Carlisle I'm so sorry! I should never have...' I would start to cry.
'Esme, don't worry. You're young, it's normal to mix up your feelings. I was just gonna thank you for being such a good friend for me. But, perhaps we shouldn't do this anymore.
I'm 31. I'm fifteen years older than you Esme, and I'm your friends father. It's not right. I'm so sorry.'
'No, I am sorry.' I closed my eyes and shook my head. The tears came down. I was so ashamed of myself.
'Don't cry. It'll be all right.'
'No it won't! I'm so terribly ashamed! What will Alice think? She'll never speak to me again.' I started sobbing at this. 'What will YOU think of me?' 'Shh, Esme I would never tell this to Alice or anyone. Don't worry. And I do not think any bad things about you, as I said, you are young and it's very common to mix up your feelings.'
I sobbed and nodded lightly.
'I'm sorry!' With that I kissed his cheek, got out of the car and crossed the street running to my house.I didn't look back, I did not have the courge to do so. The door was open so I got in, slammed it shut and ran upstaris. My mom was with her friends at the kitchen laughing loudly. She probably didn't hear me coming in and I was thankful for that. I was too ashamed to tell her anything. I was too ashamed even to look at her. I locked my bedroom door, turned off the lights and laid down.

I cried myself to sleep that night. A mix of shame, pain and embarrasment ran inside of me. How could I ever look into Carlisle's eyes again. How could I ever step in the Cullen's house again? How would I be able to lie to Alice's face never telling her any of this. The only thing I knew right now was that I needed to sleep right away. It seemed to be the only way to put all the pain and shame away for now.

A/N: Well, please tell me what you think about this. Carlisle's POV for the ending of this will probably come up tomorrow, and I really hope their first kiss (the first chapter I wrotte, that gave me the idea to this FF ) will be the next one, and will come up VERY soon!

Please tell me what you think ok? And don't hate me, I didn't know anyway to make this pass the whole 'you're-my-friend's-dad' boredom! And don't hate Carlisle, I'll put up his POV as soon as I can. I'd put it right now but it's like EXACTLY 2 am and I'm REEEEALLY tired.

Love you guys!

-Cami.
