"You make me smile every time I see you"- Peter Facinelli about Elizabeth Reaser

Esme POV

No, it can't be possible. Vampires are soulless, heartless… how could they ever love one another? Except that was it, they did!

Bella- the newest member before me- was Edward's soulmate. Emmett had the gorgeous Rosalie (whom I've learnt hates being full-named as it sounds like she's in trouble). The chirpy vampire Alice, the future-seeing freak, had Jasper (the mopped haired emotional one). Carlisle, who I learned was over 1 Century old, and yet he had no-one… unless she wasn't in the room of course. I don't know why I did what I did next but it felt necessary to search the whole entire house…

Turns out letting a newborn vampire loose around a house when they're in search of something- or in my case someone- isn't the best of ideas! I'd only been alive for less than an hour and yet I'd already damaged a vase full of the most vivid red roses imaginable! It was at that moment of the smashing of the vase that I realised I had blown it. This would be the Cullen's first ever impression of me and it wasn't a very good one! I had already confessed my longing to be held by Carlisle to Edward, mentally called Jasper an emotional, mopped-haired vampire and now I had done the one thing I swore- ever since my broken leg that I would never do… I had offended Carlisle by frantically sprinting round is home in search of his hearts true desire and probably destroyed half of the house in doing so.

"I am so, so, so sorry Carlisle. I honestly truly didn't mean to! I'll buy you a new vase and even more flowers, I am honestly…" panicking I attempted to piece together the mess laid out on the floor much to the laughter of the others.

"Esme, there is no other present in the house. There has never been another since you climbed that tree and now we are all certain, well based on Alice's mind, that there never will be another! As for the vase, we'll simply get a new one with an even brighter red than your eyes first were when you awoke," Edward's words, though slightly drowned by his laughter, managed to bring me out of the state of jealousy I had once been in.

If there had never been a woman for my angel since my broken leg… Did that mean he felt the same way about me as I did about him? Oh, so many questions and yet I couldn't help but stare intimately at the man I had fallen in love with those 9 years ago….

"Come on guys, I think Esme's had enough laughing and confusion. If you don't mind I'm going to take her out hunting. You could do with some outside air away from whatever these hooligans are thinking", Carlisle's voice was soft and sweet as when I first met him. Within a flash the others scattered leaving just me and the man I had longed to be reunited with ever since I left the hospital all those years ago.

"Shall we my dear?" Carlisle looked directly at me with an extended arm prompting me to accept his hand so we could hunt together. I suddenly was overcome by a feeling of butterflies as I gently rested my hand in his and looked into his eyes- there were no words escaping from me, just a typical teenage nod of the head. I need for well Edward could hear every thought I was thinking, meaning he knew exactly how much I longed to burst out with those 3 words that could change things even more for me. I held back, for now I just wanted this moment. I'd wanted my Carlisle back for nearly a decade and now, as an immortal, I had him!

My Carlisle… If only he knew…
