When Carlisle asked my father for my hand in marriage, let's just say that he was shocked.
~~Flashback~~
Carlisle and I walked into my dad's home. "Daddy?" I called out. "In the kitchen." He called back. I squeezed Carlisle's hand and walked into the kitchen with him behind me. Dad was sitting at the table eating.
He looked up at us and scowled at the sight of Carlisle. I sighed and sat down at the table. Carlisle sat next to me. "I wanted to ask you an important question Charlie." Carlisle said. Dad leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest.
"What question?" He asked looking between us.
"I want to ask for permission to marry your daughter." He said confidently. I smiled softly and looked at dad. He stared at Carlisle in complete shock. "Wh-what?" He stuttered.
Carlisle squeezed my hand gently. "I wish to marry your daughter. She's the love of my life. I want to spend the rest of my life with her as my wife." Carlisle told him.
Dad continued to stare between Carlisle and I for a few minutes. "You hurt her." Dad finally said. Carlisle nodded. "I know that sir. But it was a mistake that I will never make again." Carlisle told him honestly.
Dad looked at me. I gave him a pleading look. He let out a sigh before nodding. "Yea." He breathed out. I smiled widely and hugged Carlisle. He chuckled and hugged back before pulling away.
"We're going to the court house, daddy. We want you to be the witness." I told him smiling. His eyes bulged out. "The court house?" He asked. I nodded. "Fine. Let's go then." He said standing up and walking out to the front door.
I sighed and got up taking his plate and emptying the remains in the trash before putting it in the sink. Carlisle took my hand. We followed my dad out of the house to drive to the court house.
~~End Flashback~~
Carlisle is driving us to our honeymoon location. He called the family to tell them that we would be out for a week or two. I turned my head and looked over at Carlisle. He was staring at the road. I could see his lips curve into a smile. "What are you staring at love?" He asked not looking at me.
I smiled and intertwined our fingers together. "Nothing." I turned back to stare out the window. "Where are we going Carlisle?" He smiled and squeezed my hand gently. "I already told you. It's a surprise. I won't tell you no matter how many times you ask me Ari." I giggled and nodded.
I turned the radio on and put the volume a little louder. Not too loud to where we wouldn't be able to hear each other if we were whispering.
I looked back over at Carlisle. "I love you." I told him quietly. He glanced at me smiling. "I love you too." He picked up out intertwined hands and kissed the back of mine.
