Carlisle
I lay with Esme in my arms. "That was worth the wait…" I said quietly.
She laughed before sitting up and moving above me. She brushed her lips over mine to tease me. I grabbed her arms that were holding her top half up and pulled them out from under her, catching her lips with mine.
When I pulled away she giggled, "That was so smooth."
I laughed lightly before her phone received a message. I went to grab it before she took my hand. "Ignore it." She whispered before kissing me again.
I flipped us over so I was now above her. My hands grazed over every part of her body as I left a trail of kisses from below her ear to her collarbone.
I returned to her lips and they deepened quickly. Her nails dug into my back, causing another growl to seep through my lips.
We sat on the sand in our swimsuits finishing our third game of chess.
"Checkmate." I smiled.
"I hate you."
"That's not the impression I got last night when you were screaming my name." I raised my eyebrows. "Or this morning…"
"Don't flatter yourself…"
"You already did, sweetheart." I teased.
Her eyes blackened as she stared at me. "You're so laid back and immature, it's weird…"
I laughed at her before moving the chess table and filling the space between us, placing my lips on hers passionately. She flipped us and went to kiss me before stopping. She jumped up and ran. "You have to catch me if you want me!" She called as she ran.
"Challenge accepted…" I said quietly to myself. I jumped up and chased her. I was faster, and a lot stronger, so she would not escape me again once I caught her.
I reached her within minutes of running and caught her in the air. She was jumping up to a tree when I collided with her in mid-air. I positioned myself so that I would be the one to hit the earth, not wanting her to get hurt.
I stood straight away and picked her up, throwing her over my shoulder.
"Carlisle!" She yelled, but she couldn't help laughing.
I lay her on the couch and kiss her.
"One of us could have gotten seriously hurt back there."
"That's why I made sure you didn't hit the ground." I said between kisses.
"You were so gentle last night and this morning, what just happened?" She mocked.
"Well, I simply wasn't my best. I have no intention of holding back tonight…"
She smirked at me. "Doctor Carlisle Cullen what has gotten into you? Whatever it is, it needs to happen more often."
I laughed at that. "Maybe not when the children are home…"
"We don't want Emmett mocking us for a decade."
"Certainly not." I kissed her again.
We had gone for another swim, with our bathing suits on this time.
"You need to hunt." I said once we got out.
"How do you know that I'm not just totally lost in your eyes?"
"I can just tell." I kissed her.
"You do too. I can just tell." She smiled.
She started towards the forest and I followed.
We hunted for several hours, savouring our prey.
When we got back, it was getting dark.
We went inside and changed out of our bathing suits.
"Let's walk the perimeter." She suggested.
I smiled and took her hand as we walked out and towards the beach.
We talked about nothing important; we teased each other and made jokes.
We reach a point where there is two ways to walk. I take her to the outer one, leading up to a grass hill that overlooks the ocean. I sit down and pull her down with me. We lay in silence watching the stars for what seems like hours.
"Carlisle?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think that our family will stay together?"
"I don't see why not. They all get along well, don't they?"
"No."
I sat up, "No?"
"Alice and Rosalie don't. They have totally different views on everything, and argue a lot. They don't do it when you're home because Rosalie doesn't want you to be mad with her, and Alice wants you to accept her into your family."
"I do accept Alice."
"I know that, but she doesn't believe me when I tell her that."
"They seem fine together whenever I'm around."
"Jasper and Emmett tend to pull them away from each other when it starts to get heated."
"What about Bella?"
"She stays out of it the majority of the time, but she occasionally sides with one or the other."
"Well I will have to talk with them when we get back. What about the guys?"
"Best of friends." She smiled.
My phone rang then. I declined the call the first time, but when it repeated half a second later I picked up. There was yelling in the background, and something smashed. Esme heard too, giving me a questioning look.
"Bella?"
"Rosalie and Alice are in a full blown fight and we don't know what to do. They won't listen to us and— shit!"
"What just happened?"
"Rosalie threw a vase at me. What do we do?"
I didn't know what to say. If they didn't listen the first time, they wouldn't the second. I knew Rosalie would listen to me after some arguments, and I knew Alice would listen to Esme; it was just the case of getting them to pick up the phone.
"Could you put Rosalie on please?"
There was a brief moment of Bella and Rosalie yelling at each other before Bella spoke again, "She won't take the phone."
"What are they fighting about?" I asked, trying to find a solution.
I waited for Bella to ask Edward. "Alice said something that pissed Rosalie off and then Rosalie gave her attitude, then Alice gave it back and now here we are. Edward said that they have both forgotten the cause."
"Of course they have. I don't know what you can do. Just let them argue, and if it's ongoing, call me again. If it does calm down, tell Rosalie to call me."
"Okay, bye."
I hung up and turned back to Esme. "Speaking of them not getting along…"
Esme stood up and motioned for me to get up as well. We walked back to the house, where our night turned to bliss.
