Older Grandpa
Chapter Seventeen
Esme's P.O.V.
So today I get to cross the line over to the reservation. I am excited and scared at the same time. I am in the limousine on my way, I already miss Carlisle and the kids. I can smell them already, it is hard not to cringe. If I did the camera men would know something was up. So I stopped breathing and smiled.
The limousine stopped and a man opened the door for me, I walked inside the house and took a look around. At the end of my personal tour a came to a small kitchen, there was a small booklet on the table. I sat down and started reading it aloud.
"Hello, my name is Sue Clearwater, I live here with my two children, Lea and Seth. My boyfriend Charlie often comes over as well. Some house hold rules are that we all sit down together and eat three meals a day," I glared at the booklet, and continued reading. "Seth often goes over to his friend Jacob's at night and sleeps a lot during the day, Leah often goes to her friends places at night as well. We go to the beach every day no matter what the weather is, but you are in luck. The Sun is supposed to shine this week. 'That's too bad, because I am allergic to the sun' I hope you enjoy living in my house for two weeks," okay so maybe Sue didn't like us, either that or leah wrote it.
"They sound like a nice family," I smiled into the camera, just as I heard Seth and Leah arriving.
I made my way to the door, and I could see the camera men looking at me weird. I swung it open, "Seth, Leah," I beamed at them.
"Hey Esme, what's up?" Seth asked.
"Hi," Leah mumbled.
"I am so excited to be here," I sung.
"We're excited to have you here," Seth assured me, while Leah just grimaced.
"It already stinks," she mumbled.
"You think it's much better for me?" I asked raising one of my eyebrows.
She just looked at me in utter shock.
"I'm sorry I didn't realize . . ." she trailed off.
"It is quite alright darling," I smiled encouragingly at her.
"I have some extra nose plugs if you need," Seth offered, all three of us burst into laughter as the camera men just looked at us strange.
"I think I will be fine for a couple of weeks," I assured him. We laughed some more.
"Uhm so we usually go to the beach around this time," Leah said.
Seth glared at her, "We don't have to Esme," he told me.
"No, no it's fine I just have to change.
They had cleaned Sue's room and told me I could put my stuff there, so I did and pulled out what I would need to wear. I long sleeve black turtle neck, long black pants, tall black socks, black sneakers, long black gloves, a wide hat, and giant sunglasses. I looked pretty goofy but it was better than people finding out, I guess.
I came out of the bedroom and everyone laughed at me. "I am allergic to the sun." I said matter-of-factly.
Seth, Leah, and I went down to the beach and I swear, pretty much every person there grimaced, and held their nose. "What in bloody hell is a Cullen doing here?" I heard one call. "Come on just one little bite," I heard another call.
I pulled out the lawn chair and set it up along with an umbrella. Luckily Jacob was there to stop the others, and to keep me company.
"Hey Esme, how are you?" he asked sitting down beside me.
"Not sparkling, that's for sure." I laughed. "Why aren't you with Renesmee?" I wondered aloud.
"She wanted me to make sure you were safe," he admitted sheepishly.
I nodded understanding what he was saying, "do you know what time Charlie usually visits, the Clearwaters?" I just wanted to be prepared for his visit.
"Some time before dinner," he said shrugging.
"Speaking of dinner I should get back and start cooking it," I stood up, "Seth, Leah, I'm going back to start making dinner," I called packing up my lawn chair and umbrella, "bye Jacob." I waved as I headed back, at what seemed like an extremely slow pace.
I had just finished preparing a lasagna when Charlie knocked, I walked to the door and greeted him with a hug, "Hello Charlie, so good to see you!" he wasn't surprised to see me, he was a little frightened though. "Don't worry Charlie, I went 'out' before I came here," I assured him, he relaxed a bit but not very much.
"Is that lasagna I smell?" he beamed as he sniffed the air.
"Yes I just made it!" I let him in and right away he started grabbing plates and forks. Moments later Seth, Leah, Charlie, and I were sitting at the small table.
I ate a whole piece of lasagna and nearly gagged, the whole time. When every one was finished I excused myself, claiming I didn't 'feel well' I went to the bathroom and tried to throw up but couldn't. I had always gotten Jasper to help me. I sat on the floor against the wall and called Carlisle.
"Hello, this is doctor Carlisle Cullen how may I help you?" did he seriously not have two seconds to look and see it was me?
"Carlisle it's me, I have a question about us and food," I exhaled into the phone.
"Okay?" he questioned.
"How long can we keep it in us?" I was anxious to find out.
"Well it will go bad in a couple of days, and I don't know what that will do so you should probably get rid of it soon," I groaned at his answer and he noticed, "what is wrong love?"
"I CAN'T get rid of it," I exclaimed.
"I have sent Jasper, get ready over the toilet because he will have to make this fast," with that I was throwing up in the toilet bowl. It tasted even worse coming back up, I rinsed my mouth with water making sure as to not swallow any of it.
I spent the rest of the night talking with Charlie, and Seth. Finally when an hour arrived that I deemed, late enough for bed, I excused myself and laid down in bed. Only thirteen more days Esme, you can do this, I told myself.
Next chapter will be in the perspective of one of the other Cullens. Please review telling me who you would like it to be, and they can add their thoughts on what is going on. Also if you want tell me something you think should happen during the two weeks.
