Long time no talk, how have you been? Well I hope you don't hate me now, all summer long I have had writers block something fierce, and well School kind of just stimulates the brain back into working order.
It was finally the end of the day. After the near traumatic experience with all the blood, I was no packing up and heading home. I had made a B-line to Carlisle's car, it wasn't too bad looking, but compared to my baby, it was just a black car.
I leaned against the door, it's cold metal exterior chilled my skin, crossing my hands over my chest I waited for Carlisle. It was going to be a long, cold, wait. She could already feel her hair becoming frizzy with the moisture hanging in this air. Taking a deep and even breath, I relaxed slightly; the air up here had a much more clean taste compared to California.
This went on for an hour, my musing over how different Forks was compared to sunny California. How Seattle was, just so foreign to any lower state person.
Soon I felt a presence beside me. Carlisle was standing there, his dazzling smile, eyes and overall his whole person. "Missing me?" he joked. I rolled my eyes with a smile.
"Oh yes, yearning you to come back" I replied in mock exasperation. Carlisle let out a chuckle as he then unlocked the car, I then climbed into the passenger side and he slid into the drivers seat.
"Do you know where you'd like to go tonight?" He asked me, looking at me with curiosity.
I blushed a little, and looked away from him "Well, I haven't checked out the area yet… so I am completely at your mercy for picking food" I said, then I bit the inside of my cheek, how could I of said something so cheesy like that.
He smiled "Tell me, what food do you like?" he asked me. As we pulled out of the parking lot, he pulled his car around the parking lot to get find the path out.
I bit my lip, there was a lot of food's that I wasn't picky about, but there was a lot of other food I was extremely picky about. "How does Chinese sounds?" I asked.
He smiled "Okay, that sounds good" he replied, as he then exited the lot, soon we were on one of the major roads. "I'll drop you off at your house and then in an hour I'll come pick you up" he said.
I nodded "Sounds like a plan" I said with a laugh. I then looked outside to the forest that just seemed to be always there. I wondered what type of life lived out there, I mean, who knows what could be lurking outside in the safety of the forest.
"Carlisle, how come you moved here? Where did you come from?" I asked, glancing over at the doctor who was driving.
His golden eyes flickered over to me for an instant. "As you can tell, I wasn't exactly American born. I was born in London, but came over to America at a very early age" He replied.
I looked at him with a surprised look "Wow, that's so cool!" I commented. Carlisle just smiled at me and looked back to the road.
"I was born in California" I replied, "Nothing too interesting at all" I said with a laugh "I wish I was born in London, I would love to visit it"
Carlisle let a chuckle escape his lips "I am sure you will some day" He said, in all reality he couldn't help but smile, if something was ever to come of this then he would take her to London and all that it implied. He noticed they were but a mile away from my home, time did indeed fly when he was having fun.
I noticed this as well, I could already see the familiar grove of trees that was by my house. I sighed softly and rolled my eyes, why did I have to live so close to my work?
Carlisle looked at me with a worried look, "Lyria are you okay?" he asked. I nodded and smiled back at him.
"Yeah, I'm fine thank you" I replied. Soon we were pulling up into my driveway, I unbuckled myself from his car and then was going to let myself out, when he got out of his car and went to assist me. I smiled as he gently held my hand in his, I could feel a gentle electric feeling course through our hands and I was keenly aware that his hands were deathly cold. I looked up at the doctor, I could tell he felt the same, for on his face a brilliant smile adorned his face.
He gently pulled me from my seat, and into a standing position, he then closed the door behind me and gently led me to my front door. He then let me unlock my front door.
"I guess chivalry isn't quite dead just yet" I commented with a stupid smile on my face. He smiled and chuckled.
"Yes, not as long as the Cullen name is still on this planet will it die" he replied, he knew his family prided itself on being the best.
I smiled as I then put my keys back into my purse "Thank you for taking me to and from work, it is very kind of you" I said, my eyes downcast to shield myself from the embarrassment. He smiled and chuckled, as his hand then gripped mine once again and he kissed my knuckles. "Till an hour then," He said and I nodded, then watched him walk back to his car, start the engine and then drive away. I sighed as I then leaned against the door.
"He's such a hunk" I said with a sigh as I then turned into the house and closed and locked the door. "Now what to wear" I said as I then quickly went to my room, things were strewed about in an unorganized manner. Hey I couldn't quite clean when my head was spinning now can I?
I sighed as I put my purse onto my bed and instantly my closet was assaulted for any good clothes.
Many clothes were discarded in a heap in the middle of the floor, nothing seemed appropriate for this occasion. Soon my eyes landed on a beautiful flowy blue shirt, and a matching skirt that went beautifully with it. And to top it all off I had found some cute open toed high heels.
Satisfied with my finding I then went to take a shower, putting on some vanilla lotion, I made sure I smelt good, I couldn't go to public smelling like work. By the time I was out of the shower I had thirty minutes left, I liked my showers too you know.
After taking ten minutes of drying my hair and putting it up into a curly ponytail, I then put on my makeup and clothes, and I had five minutes to spare. Soon I heard the door bell ring, I couldn't help but smiled as I made my way to the door. In seconds I had the door open, Carlisle stood by the door, with a small bouquet little pink roses were the centerpiece, next to that was a lily just starting to bloom, and there were a lot of babies breath. It was truly beautiful. "A little early are we?" I said with a laugh, then stepping aside to let him in "Let me put these in a vase and then we can go eat okay?" I asked as I then went to the kitchen to find a vase to contain the beautiful flowers.
Carlisle let himself in, he smiled as he watched me leave him to put the flowers in a vase, he only picked the most beautiful bunch, he wouldn't have it any less. Soon I was back at his side, he liked that. "Ready?" He asked. I nodded, he then offered his arm to me and then le led me to go eat.
Tonight was going to be fun I could tell. He then loaded me into the car, I was all too aware of how close and how wonderful he smelt. I could only sigh in content. Soon we were driving down the street to go eat some food, my first date in a while, and with a man such as Carlisle, I felt so happy.
Well I hope you liked this as much as I was typing it. I have a huge twist coming up soon so stay tuned.
