Oh and I got a line from this spoof. Watch it! You will love it http:// www. / watch?v=dompotjTeIA (well without the spaces of course)

I felt my cheeks become warmer as Carlisle put his cold hand on the small of my back and lead me to his car. Before I could really think I blurted out "Why is your hands always cold? It's like you stick them in ice all day" once I controlled my actions, my good hand flew to my mouth as I mumbled out my apologies. I watched with horror as Carlisle started to chuckle.
"Our shower broke and I forgot that, so I had to take a shower in the cold. And other times I have to wash my hands frequently, and my office is usually freezing" he replied as he then opened the passenger door and waited till I got inside to close it. Then with lightning speed he was on his side of the car.
"Whoa! How did you get over to your side so fast?" I asked in amazement as he then comfortable got into his side of the car, and turned the cars engine on.
He laughed once again "Being 6'2 does have it's perks" he replied in a logical way, "My strides are faster than somebody with shorter legs" he replied as his eyes darted to me.
I pouted "I'm not short" I replied as I settled more into the seat as I rubbed my arm to cause a little warmth to circulate in my body. Carlisle noticed this and turned on the heater. "Thanks" I said softly. Suddenly the car was filled with the smell of the heater just begging to be used for a very long time. I wrinkled my nose a little and smirked "Haven't used your heater yet I see, though I don't understand why you don't. I found out in just one week of living here that its usually cold during the day."
He just smirked at me, "So after you get stitched up we can still do your interview unless this has traumatized your entire day, and maybe I might give my heater a workout" he said as he glanced at me, his liquid amber eyes boring into my boring hazel eyes. "I will have the best doctor to stitch you up" he said with a tight lipped smile.
"Why can't you do it?" I blurted out again. I was going to seriously work on training my tongue to stay still or to bite it till it bled.
He cast me a sideways glance, "Wish I could. But I have to clock in at the office and then give an excuse as to why I wont be at the hospital all day, and by then you most likely will be done. Then we can go eat. How does that sound?" he asked.
It clicked in my brain "Oh, yea I forgot about the interview" I replied sheepishly as I looked at my purse, the note was sitting on top of everything, it was the only article that hadn't attacked me this morning. "Oh and I do have to apologize to you" I said, as suddenly my black pants were super interesting.
He looked at me, pure innocence flitted across his face, then confusion "Why?" he asked.
"Well, when I woke up and fixed myself the best to my ability…I read your letter, and might I add you have beautiful penmanship. I stereotyped all men. I thought men could not write in any neat handwriting, let alone a doctor." my voice small and weak. "Then when I saw your letter it was the epitome of beauty. I don't think anybody could rival your handwriting Dr. Cullen"
"Carlisle" he corrected.
"So sorry" I replied, sarcasm dripped from my apology "I didn't know you were one for informalities"
He then rolled his eyes "Touché" he replied.
I laughed "Fine, you got me there. But still I have to say I'm sorry to at least you" I said as I then looked at him, hoping I could see any indication that he accepted my apology.
He gently patted the top of my head as he smiled at me, his smile dazzling me…an odd sense of deja-vu coming to the forefront of my mind…suddenly the daydream came back to my memory, that smile. "Of course I forgive you" he replied "Why would I not?" he added.
I shrugged "I dunno" I replied, "Maybe you would hold a grudge that I wouldn't know about" I replied innocently.
He laughed "You're one strange girl Lyria Rose" he replied. Soon they were in the parking lot in front of the front office of the hospital. He parked his baby in front of the marked off slot, soon he turned off the heater and then cut the engine. I read the sign 'Only doctors from Forks Hospital may park here at any given time.' I sighed, at least we wouldn't be getting into trouble. Then my eyes focused on Carlisle's strides, seeing if what he told me was right. Indeed his long legs swallowed the space to get to my side of the car but even then it was a bit to fast for normal human speed.
Soon he was opening the door for me "What a gentleman" I commented with a smile as I got out of the car, I did feel good when he helped me out with my good hand.
"Ah thank you. It is my pleasure to help you out" he replied as he tossed me another dazzling smile. Man, his smile was so breathtaking. I wonder if he knew this…
Soon he was leading me down one of the longer halls to the other side of the building. It took about ten minutes to get to the other side, but it was comfortable, a very peaceful silence fell upon us both. I also got the satisfaction of seeing a bunch of nurses give me dirty looks and loving eyes upon Carlisle, and he dished out dazzling smiles one after another, by the end of our journey I concluded he knew he had a killer smile and knew how to use it to calm the evil glares coming my way.
Soon there way a young male nurse there waiting for the two of us. Carlisle's grip on my arm, grew a little tighter when he spotted the one to tote me away. He did not like this child's look, he was around 24, had light brown hair and baby blue eyes, he was around 5'7, so he towered over poor Lyria.
"I am here to show Lyria Rose to the assigned room for stitches" He said, his voice had an accent…Australian, Carlisle concluded. His eyes landed on the small human beside him, Carlisle instantly felt a little to possessive.
"S'cuse me son, what is your name?" Carlisle asked, a forced smile played on his lips.
"Oh, I am sorry Dr. Cullen, my name is Ace Evens, I just started last month" he replied.
I watched the two males interact, I really didn't mind that fact that Carlisle held me close to him, my face was a slight blush. "Hello Ace, I'm Lyria, its nice to meet you" I said as I offered a hand to Ace. He gladly took my hand, his hands were cold, but not as cold as Carlisle's hands. Then the insane happened, Ace kissed the top of my knuckles. My face was instantly scarlet. He chuckled lightly.
"T-Thank you" I squeaked out" as I was obviously embarrassed. Carlisle's grip I noticed was a little more painfully present. I looked back up at him. He smiled back down at me, my heart was instantly stolen away, back to Carlisle.
"Well I must be off, I'll see you back here in about thirty minutes" he said, and truth be told he too wanted to give me hand a kiss, now was not the time to try to win me back, he was fairly certain that he won me back with the most devastating smile that he knew how to dish out.
Ace took my good hand and led me away from Carlisle. It hurt to say the least to separated from him, but now I had this cute young man to talk to "So, why did you kiss my hand in front of Ca- Dr. Cullen?" I asked.
He smirked "I gotta show that bloke he isn't the only one in the building that can flirt and make girls look my way" he replied, his accent showed that he knew his English but still kept a hold of his heritage.
"So, how long have you lived in America?" I asked, intrigued.
"Oh, going eight year tomorrow" he replied, when a nurse passed he smiled his broad smile and said "G'day"
"Good morning Ace" the young nurse replied back, as she then hurried past up, with the papers covering her face.
I rolled my eyes "You shouldn't be doing that Ace, cause in the end the girls will either side with you or with Dr. Cullen" I told him "And then if that doesn't happen, and you do find your girl she will feel overly protective of you or push you away because you flirt" I said, and I knew this to be true because my ex boyfriend did the same exact thing. A painful throb in my heart brought me back to the present.
Ace smiled "I'll take that into consideration" he replied, soon they were in the boring white room, around the border was red, blue, pink, orange, yellow, green handprints. I smiled as I remembered the last time I did finger painting. My ex and I were painting the creativity room in my home, it ended up quite colorful, both us and the walls.
Ace soon sat in front of me, on the doctors stool. He took my hand and quickly unwrapped it. "Ah that is a nasty cut you go there" he said, then gently pulled me up and took me to the sink where he washed off the gash once again.
Once he washed it off he led me back to the bed with the crinkle white paper, I happily jumped up and watched him. "I am going to get a doctor in here to stitch you up" he said as he then quickly left.
I was left there thinking about today, nothing was special about except for the fact that Carlisle picked me up. I was broken out from my thoughts when the door opened, I saw an older gentleman come in, his face had a healthy glow but she could tell he wasn't exactly young, the grey hair and the laugh lies gave a testimony to that.
"Miss Rose, my name is Dr. Hunter, I heard you sliced yourself" he replied as he then checked my hand, he made a 'tsk tsk' sound as he checked it out. "Quite a nasty spill you took to get this" he said, he let a fatherly smile spread across his face. "Okay, this will hurt for a little while-" Dr. Hunter was interrupted when the ever beautiful Dr. Cullen came in through the door
"Mind if I watch?" Carlisle asked. He looked hopeful.
I quickly nodded "Yea, I need somebody's hand to squeeze the living daylight out of when he puts that needle in my hand" I told him, I saw a somewhat jealous look flash across Ace's face but it quickly vanished. Carlisle quickly came to my side as I then quickly gripped his hand with all my strength, Dr. Hunter gently took my hand, I quickly looked away and squeezed Carlisle's hand.
-brief Carlisle's Point of view-
I looked down at the frail human beside me, if just a needle point caused her this much fear I could only wonder what a broken bone or even vampires venom. Her 'mighty' grip wasn't even all that strong, even Alice's dainty hand could squeeze harder than Lyria's small hand. I smiled down at Lyria "Your doing very well, just a little longer and you will be good as new" I said, in a probably strained voice.
I glanced over to Dr. Hunter, as he diligently stitched her hand. I could see every little drop of blood that coursed through her open wound, my mouth suddenly became a little more dry, it felt painfully dry, even my own spit could not soften the burning, aching feeling inside my throat. My grip tightened on Lyria's hand but not enough to hurt her, if only she knew…
I wished Jasper was here to give me some calming waves so I wouldn't have this savage craving for her blood. But yet again I would never put Jasper in this type of situation. I sighed as I watched Lyria's reaction, from my age I could say her reactions were quite childish, but as I could recall a lot of humans fear was needle, Lyria was unfortunately one of those humans.
Soon my pocket was buzzing, I fished it out and looked at the text, once again it was from Alice.
"Don't let her get the Chicken salad."
That was off the wall, but if Alice told him not to, he wouldn't. He couldn't tell the future like Alice could.
-end of his point of view, back to Lyria's-
I watched Carlisle, he was a perfect example of something a normal average girl couldn't have. He was brooding over something, that much I could tell, and once again I noticed his eyes getting a little darker, to the point where they looked black. "Hey Carlisle, are you sure it's just the lights? Your eyes look darker" I commented.
Carlisle stiffened a little and smiled at me "Yea, the clouds outside, they are the reason" He said. I shrugged, if he did not want to tell me I wouldn't bother.
Soon a stinging sensation alerted me to my other hand once again, the needle was out of my hand and Dr. Hunter was throwing it away "Your free to go now Miss. Rose, be careful" he said in a fatherly way.
"Thank you sir, I will be more careful next time around" I replied as I gently jumped off of the bed. I smiled at Ace "Oh and thank you for showing me where my room is, it was a pleasure to meet you Ace." I said cheerfully.
Ace smiled back at me "Oh, it was no problem, in fact it was my job" he replied with a chuckle and a smile. "Maybe some time we can go out and get a bite to eat" he suggested as Carlisle and I started to leave, Ace trailing behind us.
"Actually that would be great. Thank you" I replied, but if he was trying to get in-between me and Carlisle, oh boy, Ace would have another thing coming for him.
"Maybe, uh if it's not to bold to ask, I can take you out to dinner tonight" he asked, I looked back at him in shock. His face had a tint of pink to it and his hands were behind his back as he shifted nervously from his foot the next.
"I…um, gimme your number and I will update you later" I told him, I couldn't quite say yes or no, especially in front of Carlisle.
Ace nodded and smiled as he fished out a notebook from his pocket and scribbled down his number and handed it to me, I took it, and put it in my pocket "Thanks, well I'll talk to you later, later Ace!" I said as I then practically drug Carlisle away from the two. I may not be a good reader of humans and their emotions but I could tell that Carlisle wasn't quite happy to have him around.
"That was odd wasn't it?" I asked with a nervous chuckle.
Carlisle looked down at me and nodded "Yea, I don't remember seeing him around the hospital, but yet again I don't really pay that much attention to new staff members" he said with a nervous chuckle.
I rolled my eyes as he then led me to the outside, and back to his car "So, now for that interview. Are you nervous?" he asked me.
I nodded "Well yea, I mean who wouldn't be nervous?" I replied back "Oh yea, where are we going again?" I asked, I didn't really look at him, as we got into the car, I was still so fascinated by everything here.
"Angel's Dinner" he replied, "It is a mix of Italian and English" he told me, looking over at me, he smiled at the sight he saw. He saw an energetic young girl just getting the best out of life.
"I love Italian!" I exclaimed, "Is the garlic bread okay?" I asked.
He chuckled "That I couldn't tell you, for I never tried their food before" he replied, honestly he hasn't tried any food for nearly three-hundred years.
She rolled her eyes, "Right, it's a new building, I understand" she replied in mock pain.
He laughed "You are truly one fascinating woman Lyria, why did you ever leave California, I bet you could of landed yourself in Hollywood by now" he said in all good humor.
Lyria smiled "Cause my ex was being a pain and I just couldn't take the heat anymore so I up and left" I replied, in a mater-of-fact tone of voice, like it was a no brainer.
"Oh? What was the guy like?" Carlisle asked.
"Oh, well he was wonderful. He was the football captain, blond hair and blue eyes. He was quite a sweet talker, back then I was a nerd, hard to believe isn't it?" I laughed then continued to talk "I was the nerd, he was the jock. I had the brains he didn't quite have enough, he sweet talked me and I fell into his web of lies. We went out for a good solid year. It was a good relationship for his part, he got to copy off his girlfriend's homework and he got to have all the answers. But towards our relationship he wanted to do…it, he said if I truly love him I would sleep with him." I took a breath then once again continued to plow though my history of boy friends, "I dumped him, and a month later I woke up from a coma".
Carlisle looked at me "He beat you?" he asked, he couldn't believe it! If he ever saw that punk it would be too soon, he would give that guy a beating of a lifetime.
"Well, him and the football team" I replied, "Thankfully Most of them are in jail right now. Just he never got in to trouble because his father was the police chief back then" I grumbled.
"I am truly sorry Lyria, I know that one day that they will reap what the sow" he replied, "It always happens like that" he told me, a gentle smile on his face.
I couldn't help but smile back "Yea I know, sooner or later he will be caught in his lies, but truth is I already forgave him" I said. "My mother always told me that if you hate somebody or even dislike somebody that is giving them power over you. So it is best for forgive and forget"
"Ah it sounds like your mother was a very smart woman" he replied, he wondered if his mother was like that, he couldn't remember. Soon he started to back out of the parking space and headed to the dinner.
