The Date

Esme P.O.V

I went upstairs to take a quick shower and change. I put a pair of black jeans with vans and a simple white shirt and I pulled my hair into a ponytail , not really caring if my hair are still wet or not. I went down about 20 minutes later and I found Carlisle sitting on the couch looking nervous and thoughtfull.

- Carlisle ? You ok?

He looked up at me and eyed my body from head to toe. I cleared my throat and he looked away. Embaressed that he been caugh.

I suddently felt self-conscious. I wrapped my arms around my waist.

- YES.. um I mean yes. You're ready?

I nodded and we walked to his car.

- Thank you again Carlisle for doing all this. I said as we enter his car.

He turned to me and took my hand and gently brough it to his mouth. I felt shiver go throught my body.

- Esme. Please. It's no problem at all. I'm happy to help. His said as he place a small kiss to my hand. He smiled at me and release my hand.

I smile and looked away.

The rest of the morning went really well. Carlisle took me to a restaurant to eat breakfast, which he paid for me even thought I told him not to, before driving me to the held my hand all morning too. It was lovely, and I liked his touch.

Wait.. why would I think that?

Then we went and got my car back and then he proposed to go to his house . I was a bit nervous but agreed anyway. He changed and then we watched a movie, which we got really close. At half - way to the movie I realize how we were sitting. I had my arm wrapped up around his torso and my head on his chest and his arm around my shoulder protectively. It was really nice.

I couldn't have feelings for Carlisle couldn't I ?

I shook my head and looked at the clock.

it's now 3 PM and I have 4 hours exactly to prepare the date as Carlisle would call it. I smile at the thought of him before getting started.

Ding Dong

The 4 hours passed too fast for my liking.

Oh god. I took a deep breath and look at myself one last time in the mirror. I'm wearing a simple black dress with black high heels and after 20 minutes of debating, I just decided to leave my hair down . Ok. Let's do it.

It's just a diner between 2 friends . Why am I so nervous?

I took one last deep breath and opened the door.

- Carlisle hi! I said with a smile .

He was gorgeous .

like always.

He was wearing black shiny shoes and dark grey pants , with a white shirt and a black jacket.

- Hello Esme. He said with the most beautiful smile . You look beautiful .

I blushed. I have to stop doing that

He grin. Wonderful, he noticed.

- You know,I love when you blush like that. He grin grew bigger. Oh, here it's for you.

and he took out the most beautiful bouquet of flowers from behind his back.

- Oh my. Carlisle you didn't have to . There are beautiful thank you.

I gave him a kiss on a cheek. His smirk turned into a full smile.

- Come in, I'll put them in a vase.

We got in and he followed me into the kitchen.

- It smells great Esme. What did you make? He said looking down in the pan as I put the flowers in a vase.

- It's my mother recipe. It's Orecchiette with Mini Chicken Meatballs . I hope it's okay with you?

He smile

- Of course. You guys used to cook together ?

- Yes. She teached me everything I know. I said proudly as I start putting the food in the plates.

- That's really great. I'm sure it's going to be delicious . Here let me help you.

Before I could argue , he took the plates for my hands and place them on the table.

I look at him surprised.

- What ? he said as he pulled back my chair for me to seat.

- N..Nothing. I just... Nothing. I said with a small smile sitting down.

Charles never helped me with anything .

I felt him tense. Probably knowing what I was thinking.

- I'm not him or like him and i'm more than happy to help .

I suddenlty felt really bad

- I'm so sorry I didn't mean it like that.

He smile at me

- Don't worry about it. I know. You want some wine? He asked taking the bottle

I nodded and he filled our vine glass.

We talked about his childhood , why and when he moved here. I found out that he have a younger brother named Edward who lived with his parents in England.

We finished diner and he helped me do the dished.

- So yeah, thats why Edward is now afraid of clowns.

We shared a laugh. I love to hear stories about his brother.

- You guys really seems to get along?

He chuckled

- Yeah. I'm mean, it's a love/ hate relationship like every siblings have. What about you? Any siblings?

I shook my head.

- Only child.

- Oh. i'm sorry

I laugh

- No it's ok. I spend most of my time climbing trees or reading . It wasn't that bad.

- Climbing trees ? He looked at me impress.

- Yeah.. to my parents disappointment. I was a bad kid.

He laugh again.

I love his laugh

- Well I find that hard to believe Mrs. Platt

- Well you better believe it Dr. Cullen. I said winking as I past him the last plate.

- Thank you again for the dishes.

He just nodded and smiled. When we were done ,we sat down in the living room .

He suddently looked nervous and got up. I looked a him confused.

- May I have this dance Mrs. Platt? He said with a small smile

I let out a small laugh while taking his hand.

- Of course Carlisle,but their is no music .

He turned around and went to my radio system.

Thinking out loud by Ed sheeran started playing. Perfect

He came back and place his arm around my waist and took my hand with the other hand. We started dancing , looking in each others eyes. It was perfect. It was only us. I felt like we could do anything. The song ended and we stayed like that for a while. That's when I truly noticed his eyes. Beautiful golden eyes.

Could you be anymore perfect?

I pulled away looking down.

- I'm sorry.. I should go . He said rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

I look at the clock. 11 PM already. wow

- um. Yeah.. it's getting late.

I walked him to the door.

- Well, I had a really great time Carlisle . Thank you. For everything.

- Thank you. I had a great time too and the diner was delicious. Hope to do it again soon. His eyes went wide.

- umm... I.. I mean.. you know.. if you ever..

I laugh.

- I know. It's ok. Yes , I would like that.

He seemed relieved.

- Well thank you again, and I'll see you monday. He came closer and kissed my cheek.

- Good night Esme.

and with one last smile , He left.

- Good night Carlisle. I said as a whisper while closing the door.

I smile to myself as I rest agaisnt the door. Carlisle . I think I just got my answer.

Yes. I've fallen for Carlisle Cullen.

I started walking back in the kitchen when , suddently, I heard a knock on the door .

My smile grew even wider. I turn around to open the door

-C... . I gasp. My smile fadded

- Hello Esme.
