Carlisle P.O.V

I arrived at Esme's house at 7 sharp. I'm still confused of how or why I acted like that yesterday. I just felt the need to protect her. I just wanted to make sure she didn't get hurt. Like friends do . That make sense right? I got out of the car and before I could even knock she appeared .

- Good Morning doctor Cullen. She smiled at me. Her beautiful smile. She looked beautiful.

- Why hello Esme. I smiled back

She got her things and we walked to the car. I opened the door for her and went to the driver seat.

- Carlisle.. I need to apologize to you.

I look at her confused

- For what?

- About Dr. Denali. She said looking down.

- Oh. But why, did anything happen?

She stayed silent.

That bastard. Stay calm Carlisle. Stay Calm.

She must of realize how that sounded so she added

- I mean, no , not like that. But he kissed me and did try something on me but I left .

Still he tried.

- I'm so sorry Esme.

- No. I'm sorry. I should have left with you yesterday. I mean, I left with a guy I had known for only a day and.. I just felt something off about him. I should of have left with you. I'm sorry.

I was speechless. Did she really think she have to apologize to me? For god snake I didn't do anything to kept her for going with him.

- Esme please. Don't need to be sorry. Okay?

She just smile and nod.

- hey , Let's just forgot everything that happened. No more apologies.

- okay. Thank you.

- Of course. I smile at her.

Actually, I mostly did that for her to forget how cold and distant I acted with her. I really felt bad for that.

We arrived at the hospital and again, I opened the door for her. I really want to show her that she can trust me and i'm here. I don't know why , but I feel like I need to be close to her.

- Hey Sarah , she greeded her with a smile.

-Hello Esme, Doctor Cullen. She reply smiling back.

We talked for a bit before going in the staff room. As we enter, I saw Ethan approching us. I took a step foward, in front of Esme. Unsure of what's going to happen.

- Esme.. I'm sorry for yesterday. I just... you're really beautiful and I just through that...

Beautiful? Yes Esme is beautiful but she's so more than that.

- Forget it Ethan. What's done is done. I'm sorry too. Esme replied before heading to her locker.

Ethan's face was a mix of anger and disappoinment . I smiled to myself before following her .

The day was kind of slow. Didn't got any big insuries . Which is good, and I got to spend more time with Esme and learn a bit more about her. I have a feeling that she's lying about something, whenever we bring her past, she changed the subject. I guess I can't blame her, I haven't been totally honest with her either about my past either. To be honest, i'm a bit scared, I never wanted to be open with my co-workers. I don't mix personnal and professional. I never let myself being close with someone since her, but then Esme came ... and everything changed. She crazy beautiful inside and out. Which scares me because I only known her for 3 days and I don't want to ruin anything by telling her about my past or anything. Thats why I have to be and only be friends with her, I'll be the best friend she never had.

- Carlisle !

- What? What happened?! I asked concerned and confused

She laugh . her beautiful laugh.

- I've been calling your name for 5 minutes, Are you okay? She said smiling but a bit concerned

- I'm fine. i'm sorry , just got lost in my thought . I replied smiling back.

- Hey Esme, I was wondering.. you mind if I get your number ? If you ever need to talk or just want to.. umm.. need a friend.. I ask rubbing the back of my neck neervously.

- Oh of course .

She gave me her number and she took mine in case.

- Well, Shall we go ?

I nodded , took my stuff and followed her out.

- Well , Thank you again for the ride Carlisle . She smile but then became really nervous.

- Of course, No problem. What's the matter?

- Nothing, She said smiling. I was just wondering ...if ...uh...you wanted to come inside for a bit. She said really nervously.

I just stared at her. Surprised but feeling happy. The way she looked when she was nervous.

So adorable.

Then I realize she was waiting for me to answer.

- I mean ,if you have things to d..

- No. I would love to.

She seems to relax a bit . We got out of the car and walked toward the house.

She unlock the door and wow. Her house is amazing . The decoration is perfect. She got flowers, vases, the colors on the walls fits perfectly. It fits Esme perfectly. She got some pictures hanging on the walls too. Which i'm quite curious to know who's baby is it and who are these people. I walked up in living room and Esme sat down on the couch beside me.

- Your house is beautiful Esme.

She blush a bit

- Thank you , I decored it myself , I love decorating. She said proudly.

She amazing

I just smile and walked up to see the pictures closely.

- Who are these people if I may ask? I said curiously.

I turned back to Esme , waiting for an answer .

She got up and walked beside me .

- Those are my parents. It was at christmas a long time ago.

- You look a lot like your mom.

She blushed again and turn her head away from me.

- You know, I find it quite charming to see you blush like that . I said

She turned back at me

- What..Pff .. I wasn't blushing..

I raise an eyebrow , a small smile playing on my lips.

- Enough about me. What something to drink?

I chuckled

- i'm good, but Thank you.

- Okay, Well tell me if you need anything .

she left and went to the kitchen. I just stayed there and continue watching the pictures. I was really curious about the baby in the picture.

( It's the same picture that she got beside her bed. )

- Hey Esme. I called

- Yes? She appeared in the doorway with a glass of water in her hand.

- Who's the baby you holding?

To be continue ...
