A/N: okay so this is only a small one as I was asked to update sooner so hear is the next bit. Always review please and let me know what you think. This part is told from Bella's p.o.v.
One & The Same
Bella's P.O.V
Sighing I pushed myself out of the cab, pushing the door closed behind me. Nine o'clock in the morning and only just getting home. Why had I let Carlisle talk me into taking James to a local club? I must be mad. No it must be love.
I heard the cab drive off and I smiled slightly. Home and bed. Slowly I made my way to door that was separating me from my goal, well that, a shot elevator ride, another door then the trek across my flat and then I would finally be able to sleep.
Just as I slipped the key into the lock I felt a pair to warm hands on my shoulders and I couldn't help murmur in appreciation as they opened the door for me, pushing me through gently.
"Tut, tut Bella. Only just getting in, any one would think it was your day off or something"
His voice was smooth and calm but you couldn't miss his teasing tone. Leaning back I rested my head on his shoulder, his hands slipping from my shoulders so he could wrap his arms around my thin waist, pulling me closer to him. I let my eyes slip closed as I leaned my head back, a wide smile spreading across my lips.
"Hello Daddy"
His body shock from his laughter and my smile grew even wider. My eyes flickered open and I was greeted with a familiar sight.
Emerald green eyes looked down at me, full of love and care. A blond lock of hair falling in front of his right eye. He looked to young to be in his forties and much too young to be a farther, but Carlisle always had been extremely youthful but so had his wife Esme. Both of them didn't really mind that people believed them to be younger than they where but when they got asked for idea and there oldest son didn't was always a laugh.
Of course Carlisle wasn't my real father but for the past seven years he had tock on that role and I was very grateful for it.
"Bella?"
His voice was gentile and followed by a gentle poke to the ribs. Instantly my eyes snapped open and I looked back up into his eyes. Only then did I realize I had been drifting of to sleep, but that was to be expected. Not only had I been up for more than twenty-four hours I was in one of the safest places I knew.
His arms so strong yet gentle at the same time. I had spent many hours wrapped in those arms and I knew nothing would ever compeer to the feeling I got from being there. I couldn't help but pout as Carlisle pulled away from me and headed toward the awaiting lift, laughing at me as he did.
Slowly I followed him and once inside I stood next to him leaning to the side to rest my head on his upper arm. Many residents had seen us like this or hugging like before and all had assumed that like most of the staff at work, that I was his mistress. I knew I should correct them but I just couldn't be bothered to explain the circumstances of our relationship.
Then it hit me.
"Carlisle…Why are you hear?"
His answering chuckle surprised me. Did I sound that suspicious?
"Well my lovely child, after last night and has fast you disappeared with James I just wanted to check in and make sure my youngest daughter had made it back in one piece"
Even though I knew I was blushing, I narrowed my eyes at him in suspicion. I know he was only worried about me but I was twenty-two now, I could take care of myself, thank you very much. I never normally accepted an offer to go out with business associates after dinner meetings. But James had been so…charming I just couldn't resist. I never expected to stay out all day and most the morning.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of a loud ding and the elevator doors opening. Carlisle pushed him self away from the wall grabbing my hand as he did so pulling me behind him. As he pulled me down the corridor, I slipped my hand into my pocket looking for my keys.
Nothing. Panic over took me. I know I had them; I just used them to open the front door. My eyes darted back to the lift and instantly I turned to go check. I didn't get far. Carlisle held tight onto my hand, pulling me back tight against his chest. Then I saw them. Carlisle had hold of my keys, dangling them in front of me. That's right he took them from me when he opened the door down stairs.
Carlisle laughed at my relieved face as he turned and pulled me to my door. Stooping he slipped the key into the lock the hole time never letting go of my hand, but my key jammed an he had no choice but let it go.
Turning he placed his hands flat against the door, bringing his foot up and kicking it, laughing at my pout. The door swung open and Carlisle fell backwards, a look of shock on his face. I couldn't help but laugh but that was replaced with a squeal as he grabbed my hand pulling me down with him.
I landed on top of him, his hand letting go of mine to grab my hips, stopping them from crashing into his, my hands colliding with his chest, my forehead resting on the crock of his neck. Slowly I razed my head slightly till we were looking each other eye to eye, our faces only inches apart.
"Hello Father…"
My head shot up, my eyes wide in shock. Flat mate, haw the hell had I forgotten about the flat mate? Then my mind went blank. There in front of me stood a vision of pure beauty. A tribute of some long forgotten pagan God of beauty.
Such pail skin that seemed to sparkle slightly in the rays of light coming through the open windows. His well defined, chiseled abs where almost calling out to be touched. His black sleep pants where hanging low on his hips showing of his Calvin Kline's as Alice called them.
Slowly my eyes travailed up taking in his muscular arms and exposed neck. His jaw was well defined and his skin smooth looking, his wet, dark bronze hair hung messily around his face, his full lips glistening. So kissable. But it was his eyes that captivated me. Emerald green eyes, sparkling slightly.
There was a flash of emotion through then but I couldn't figure out what it was before it was gone. I didn't notice his shocked look on his face till I took a look at his entire face. It was then that his words hit me.
Father!
Franticly I pushed my self off of Carlisle, stepping away from him. I knew he had three kids but I had only ever meet Rose and Jasper in the thirteen years I had known the Cullen family, hell I hadn't even seen a picture of 'The Other Cullen', so I had just totally forgotten about him as he was hardly ever brought up in any form of conversation.
"Edward what are you…Oh"
It must have hit us at the same time. The wet hair and only wearing his sleep pants. My new flat mate was none other than…
The Other Cullen!
