Carlisle P.O.V
I took a quick shower and I helped Esme clean up the kitchen after our little food fight. It's not exactly what I had in mind for our dinner night, we made a pretty huge mess, but I like the way it turned out.
I laugh quietly at my thought before kneeling down and picking up some eggs on the ground.
- You know, we should do that more often. I heard Esme say.
- Do what my love, cooking or a food fight? I ask playfully.
She giggled
- Both.
I chuckled and kept cleaning.
We finished after about 15 minutes and went to sit down in the living room.
- You know with all that, we didn't actually eat. I said to her , half-joking , half-serious.
- I know, and to be honest, I don't really feel like going out now. She said with a sorry look on her face.
I chuckled and kissed her temple pulling her on my laps.
- It's okay my love, we can just deliver something. How's Italian sounds?
Her face brighten up.
- That sounds great Carlilse.
- I'll be back. I gently pulled her off my laps and got up to grab the phone.
I came back in the living room a couple of minutes later and sat beside Esme.
- It should be here in about 30 minutes.
Esme nodded and curled up on my chest. I wrapped my arms around her , kissing her hair. We stayed in silence for a while until Esme decided to break the silence.
- Carlisle?
- Yes my love?
I saw Esme blush at my comment. I love the fact that I can make her blush like that.
- I have to go shower. I smell terrible and my hair is a mess.
I laugh
-Well I think you smell wonderful my dear. I winked at her.
- but, go ahead. You still have time before the food gets here.
- Thank you. She kissed my cheek and headed to the bathroom.
I sigh happily . How did I get so lucky. Esme is the one. She's my soul mate and soon to be my wife. I smile to myself at the thought of Esme as my wife. I love her so much.
I started thinking about the wedding, the date, where is the ceremony's going to take place, all the little details, and I don't know how long i've sat there because I got pulled out of my thought my Esme voice.
- Carlisle? You okay? She asked concerned.
- You haven't move since I left and I kept calling your name.
I smile and I couldn't help but think how good she looked at the moment. Don't get me wrong, she so much more that amazingly good looking, but she looked incredible when she gets out of the shower. I got up and walked up to her. I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her gently.
- My dear, i've never been better. I smile down at her.
She smile brightly at me.
She's so beautiful
I took her left hand in mine and kissed the ring, never breaking the eyes contact.
I could see the love in her eyes.
- I love you .
- I love you too Carlisle, Forever.
- Forever. I repeated.
I was about to kiss in again when I heard a knock on door.
She laugh at my frown.
Great timing.
- Food here. She said happily.
- Go ahead, I will put on the table.
I nodded and headed to the door.
When I came back to the kitchen, Esme had already place everything on the table.
- Thank you for the table love,
She smiled at me .
- Of course, here sit, I'll serve you.
I was taken aback by her words. I then remember our first date together and was she said about Charles and how she had to do that stuff. My jaw clenched.
- None sense love, go sit. You already did too much, I'll do it.
She hesisted but sat anyway. I took out the food from the box and put it in our plate.
- Thank you.
- My pleasure love.
I sat in front of her and we started eating.
We talked a bit , and just enjoyed our meal together, but I saw Esme becoming nervous. I look at her confused and she started talking.
- Carlisle.. I have something to ask you.
- Of course, anything.
- You don't have so say yes, I'll totally understand you say no.
I could never say no to her. I thought she knew that already.
- For the wedding...
Oh oh..
- I was wondering if we could do something.. just really private. She said holding a breath.
I sigh relieve.
- Of course, May I ask if there is a reason behind it?
- Not really, well maybe..
She sigh.
- I just don't really have a family I could invite you know, and with Charles... I don't want something to big.
I look at her sadly.
- Of course love, to be honest , me either. It could be just us, some friends some work and maybe my brother Edward, if that okay with you?
She smile relieve.
- That sounds great. Are you sure you don't mind? She asked unsure.
I shook my head.
- Love, I don't mind at all, plus, if it's what you want , then it's what I want.
She laugh and raise her glass of wine.
- To us. She said winking.
I laugh and joined her.
- To us.
I took a sip of my wine and putted the glass down.
- There is a church a couple of blocks away from the hospital . We could always go there. Do something private.
- That sounds perfect.
I smiled and got up and walked up to her.
She looked a me with a smile but confused.
- Whenever you want, whenever you're ready, whatever you want to do, all you have to do is ask. No matter what the answer with be yes.
She looked a me surprised.
- I'm serious Esme, you say you want to get marry tomorrow, let's do it, you want to go get marry in Alaska, let's go in Alaska.
She laugh and shook her head.
- I love you Carlisle, and I would marry you tomorrow, but their is just so much stuff to prepare.
- Yes, but i'll help you. I may not be the best wedding planner, but I'll do my best to make this day perfect for you.
She looked like she could cry. I kissed her forehead before resting our foreheads together.
- As long as your there standing at the end of the aisle , everything will be perfect. I can't ask for more.
- I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
She smiled at me .
- Okay. Let's go plan this wedding. She said exciting .
I laugh and she took my hand and lead me to the living room, grabbing some paper and a pen.
This is going to be an interesting night.
We sat together and Esme started listing everything we would need.
I just sat there and looked at her , she seems so happy.
- So what do you think?
- Sorry , what were you saying love?
- I said , if we could go see my son , after the wedding. I want you to meet him.
I kissed her temple
- Of course, I would love to. We could always find a church or something closer to him, so he will be with us.
She was silent for a bit.
- March 25th.
I was confused.
- What?
- March 25th . I want to get married on March 25. That's a week from now. It's a small wedding, so we will have the time for everything.
I was speechless.
- Is that want you want?
- Yes. She said almost in a whisper . I can't wait Carlisle. I want to marry as soon as possible. I love you so much.
I couldn't be happier at that moment.
- Let's do it then. I love you too Esme.
I took her in my arms and kissed her passionatly.
In 7 days , 4 hours, 10 minutes and 53 seconds, Esme and I will be married. I smile throught the kiss and pulled her closer. I couldn't wait.
52...51...50...49..
