That night Alex, Bella and the Cullens met the wolves and watched them practise fighting. Then they went home again, Emmett talking about how he wants the fight to come sooner because he can't wait to kill the newborns. It sounds a bit violent but that's Emmett. Edward took Bella up to his room and the rest departed leaving Alex with Carlisle. He smiled at her but Alex didn't smile back, instead she looked into space. Carlisle clicked his fingers in front of her face which made Alex jump, "Sorry." He said to her, "What are you thinking about?"

Alex shrugged and looked at him, "I was just thinking that if I never tried to kill myself then I would never have met you."

"Yes you would have."

"Not really. I mean, Bella's with Edward and I'm hardly going to hang out with my sister and her boyfriend. That's just weird."

Carlisle chuckled, "That is true." He put his arm around Alex, "But we still would have met somehow. You're my bloodsinger and that is something that would never go amiss."

"Bloodsinger?" Alex asked and looked up at him, "What's that?"

"It means that out of all these people on Earth, you are the only one I am supposed to be with."

"That can't be." She looked stunned, "There's over seven billion people on this planet, maybe more."

Carlisle smiled and placed a soft, cold kiss on the young humans forehead, "I'm over 300 hundred years old. If there was another person for me, I would have found them before now."

"Then I'm glad you found me." She smiled before losing it, "You're over 300 years old? That's really gross thinking that I'm dating such an old man."

Carlisle laughed, "It doesn't show, does it? Plus you'll have to get used to it." He said as he pulled Alex's legs over his and lay down with her, "Because I'm never letting you go."

Alex's cheeks dusted red making Carlisle smirk, "What if I wanted to leave?" She asked, lifting her hand up to run through his blonde hair and looked into his golden eyes.

"Then I would have to lock you in my bedroom and keep you forever." He grinned before placing a kiss on her neck, feeling her pulse under his lips.

Alex smiled and closed her eyes, her body filling with goosebumps, "Carlisle.." The vampire pulled away and kissed her lips softly, tasting the vanilla from her lipbalm before pulling away. She smiled and opened her eyes to look at him again, "When this fight is over with we should go out."

"Are you asking me out on a date, Miss Swan?"

Alex smiled, "Yes."

"It's meant to be me asking you out."

She rolled her eyes, "What century do you live in?"

Carlisle shrugged, "Excuse me for being old fashioned but that's the way I was brought up. To court a woman."

Alex chuckled, "Shh. Will you go out with me or not?"

Carlisle kissed her head, "I'd love to."
