Chapter 6
Esme P.O.V
Carlisle been acting really ... distant since the conversation with Ethan . He called me all morning. I'm not sure why. Honestly, I don't really want to go with but he didn't leave me the choice. At least, He seems sweet . Thought, I can't feel somethings off with him.I just can't figure out what.
Carlisle and I just finished with a patient. It's been a really rough evening. I walked up to Carlisle who was finishing signing some paper.
- Hey , you want to eat lunch together? I ask hopefull.
- Oh, um No thanks. I think i'll just eat in my office. Got some paperwork I got to do.
- Oh. Okay. I said with a fake smile. Trying to hide my disappointment.
I turned around and was about to leave the room and Ethan came in.
- Hey Esme . He said with his cute smile. I was wondering if you wanted to get lunch with me?
I turned around to see Carlisle looking at us from the corner of the eyes .
- Sure. Just let me.. Crap! I forgot to pack my lunch this morning and I got no money.
- Is everything alright? He looked at me curiously.
Carlisle got up and looked at me with the same expression , except, Carlisle's was more concerned .
- Yes. I just.. I don't have any money on me or anything to eat.
Ethan smile at me sweetly.
- It's ok. Lunch's on me.
- No, you can't pay for me.
- Yes I can. Cmon, lets go.
He took my hand and I felt really uncomfortable. I never been touch buy a guy since Charles. I'm not use to that. I quickly took my hand back and looked down.
Ethan opened his mouth to say something but Carlisle talked before him.
- Wait, i'll come with you guys. He said looking at Ethan and then me.
Thanks god
I really didn't want to be alone with Ethan right now.
Ethan stared at Carlisle with a dead glare before taking my hand once again, harshly this time , and leading me out of the room with Carlisle following.
We arrived at the cafeteria and Ethan told me to go sit while he go get us lunch. I went to sit down at the table that Carlisle and I sat down the day before. Carlisle sat down next to me, leaving the place in front on me for Ethan.
- I thought that you had work to do? I asked Carlisle unsure of why he followed us.
- It can wait, I just figure out it would be more fun to eat with you guys. He Said with a fake smile.
- Oh.
Awkward silence. I don't like having awkward moment with Carlisle. I decided to break the silence.
-Carlisle..
- Mhh? He said absently.
- Did I do something to upset you? You seem... mad at me.
He eyes snap back up at me.
- No . Never. I just .. have a lot of my mind right now.
- Oh okay i'm sorry. Want to talk about it? I asked carefully.
His face soften and smile.
- I'm fine. Forget it Esme.
I smile back and decided to not push it. I turned around to see if Ethan was coming back and all I saw was Ethan leaning on the wall flirting with the other nurse. Emma I think her name was. I did fell hurt a bit. Carlisle saw him too and curse under his breath. I look back at him .
- Thats exactly like him. Girls after girls. Breaking they heart and leaving them heartbroken.
What?
- Carlisle what are you talking about?
He didn't got to answer that Ethan came back.
- Sorry it took so long, long line. He said kissing my cheek again. I wince this time.
I heard Carlisle sigh and started eating.
I wasn't hungry anymore , I was so confused of what Carlisle had said. Ethan was sweet. No?
- I'm sorry, i'm not really hungry anymore. I think i'll just go rest for a bit.
- Are you feeling alright? Ethan asked
- Yes, Just need to get some rest. I'll see you later.
- Oh ok. Well I'll you later. I'll come see you at the end of my shift for the ride.
I just nodded. Smiled at Carlisle and left . Where. I had no idea but I just had to leave.
Since Charles. I didn't trusted any guy. I'm not really comfortable around them. Which is weird because with Carlisle it's totally different. I though it would be the same with Ethan but seems like I won't be able to trust him either.
Carlisle came back 15 minutes later , and the day continued .
I can't wait to go home and take a bath and then go sleep. I'm exhausted.
Carlisle called me Esme again, so I guess we're good now. We finished with the last patient and walked toward the employees room together.
- Hey Carlisle? Does your offer still stand? For the ride I mean?
His face lighted up
- Yes of course. Let me get my things and ..
- I meant for tomorrow morning. Ethan already promises me a ride home for tonight.
He frown for a second. Then sighed .
Did I said something wrong?
- yes of course. Same time tomorrow. Good night Esme.
He left before I could even reply.
- Good night Carlisle.. I whispered as I watch him go.
I was so confuse by Carlisle behaviour. I didn't kn-
- Esme!
I turned around and saw Ethan waiting for me at the door. I smile at him before quickly entering the changing room and followed him toward the exit.
The car ride with Ethan was...Unexpected.
He kept talking about how much money he got and how much he wish he could spend it on someone. I didn't really say much, I listened and nodded once in a while.
When we got at my house, he offered to walk me to the door. I didn't really had a choice at this point.
I arrived at door I was about to say Thank you but I was cut off my his lips on me. I was so shocked I couldn't move. When I realize what was happening I pulled back and slapped him.
- Excuse me?
- What? He said fake-confuse
- Wh.. Why.. what.. you just..
He smirked.
- I'm sorry I just really couldn't help myself.
I stared at him in shock.
- I'm sorry, but I'll ask you to leave Doctor Denali and thanks for the ride .
- Esme wait! Please, i'm sorry. Let me buy you a drink. One night, it's all I ask.
Was he serious?
I ignored him , unlocked the door and was about to go in but he grab me before I could .
- Esme . I know you want me.. He had a grin on his face.
- We both had a long day, why don't we go in and relax for a bit?
- Let me go. Now. I go out of his grip and got in quickly.
I closed the door and locked it . I stayed there until I heard his car leave. I felt a tear running down my cheek and wipped it quickly.
Please not this again, not this again.
I put my self together and walked up the stairs.
So Carlisle was right.. But I don't want to think about it now. I am exhausted .
I got upstairs , took a bath and went to bed.
What a day.
Thank you for reading! xo
