CH8
Ellen was with her daughter for the whole day. She was reading fairy tale stories, then they were watching TV and enjoyed the day. The medicine from Carlisle was working. Patricia still had fever, but it was slowly decreasing. Ellen was happy that Carlisle helped them again. She was so grateful to him, he was a true friend.
After many years spent in Forks without having no one to talk to, suddenly the Cullen family was a real treasure for her. She liked them so much. In the afternoon her cell phone rang and she picked up. Bella was curious about her little friend so they had a nice talk. Ellen promised that as soon as Patty is better, they will see each other on Skype again. Bella was checking on the situation. She, Alice and Edward planned a surprise weekend for the whole family. Carlisle had no idea about this yet but Alice claimed that he would be also excited about that. They wanted to spend some time with Ellen and mainly Patricia and therefore arranged a secret plan. They hoped Patty would be alright till Friday.
Ellen knew that Carlisle promised to stop by. At 4 pm she went downstairs, she wanted to prepare a pudding. Patty loved a vanilla one and she wanted to surprise her baby girl. During the cooking she was hesitating. She wanted to thank Carlisle for everything and decided that she would make him some nice meal. She began cooking and as soon as she finished, she heard somebody ringing at the door.
She went to open the door immediately: „ Carlisle?... It is so nice of you….."
He replied: „ Hi, Ellen…I came to check our the little patient…How is she?"
She moved back and let him enter the house. He took off his jacket and Ellen pointed to the stairs: „ She is in her room…. It will be a nice surprise to her…she doesn´t know…."
He thanked silently and headed to Patty´s bedroom.
He was coming closer and through the open window he saw Patty in her bed holding Amy.
He knocked and Patty called: „ Mum?...Why are you knocking?" He opened the door: „ sweetie, it is me…" She exclaimed: „ Carlisle?...what are you doing here?"
He came closer, kissed her and sat her on his lap: „ I came to check how you are doing…..we were worried about you at night….you had a very high fever…"
She replied: „ I still don´t feel very well…..my head hurts and I cough…."
He handed her the napkin: „ And you have a cold, I can see…but don´t worry, it will be better soon…I promise….."
She looked at him: „ Were you at work?"
He caressed her hair: „ Yes, sweetie, but I brought you someone who will be protecting you from now on…."
She wondered and he added her a wrapped up present.
Her eyes were shining and he told her: „ Open it…."
She did and inside there was a box with beautiful doll from the Beauty and Beast story.
She stared with excitement and called: „ Wow, this is princess Bella…"
He smiled: „ Yes, your own Bella…. She will be protecting you when we are not here…."
He had to smile, he liked the doll in the window of the shop but didn´t realise it was the doll named after the princess from the fairy tale. He just thought that it is some kind of doll for girls. He noticed the Bella name while the shop assistant was giving him the box in the hands.
PAtty smiled and hugged him: „ Thank you uncle….so much…..She is beautiful.."
He was holding her and stared at her when she called him uncle. It was such unique experience for him.
He looked at her: „ You are welcome sweetheart…I am glad you like her…"
Patty´s eyes were shining with joy as he began taking the doll out of the box. He handed to her and she laughed: „ She looks similar to our Bella…." This made Carlisle chuckle, now she had something that would remind her of her favorite friend. He was looking around the room. There were pictures of Disney princesses, Patty surely knew all of them and their stories. She had princess pictures on the walls, her table was also full of princess stuff. He had to smile to himself, she was such a sweet princess.
He was looking around her room and Patty noticed that. She wanted to show him her own toys and dolls. He watched her every word with interest in his eyes.
After few minutes he sent her back to bed and asked: „ Is there any book that you would like me to read?" She nodded and replied: „ I want to know Bella and Edward story….."
He had to laugh, the girl was really so smart. He sat comfortably on her chair and began making up a story of beautiful prince charming Edward and his lovely princess Bella.
The whole situation seemed so natural to him. The girl was now deep in his heart and he truly loved her. He liked spoiling her with toys. He never bought toys to his kids. They were already adults and so this was something new to him…..
He knew that Patricia has her own father but he visibly didn´t care about her so he had the chance to compensate it to her a little bit. And there were so many things he planned to give her….. She deserved it….
While he was talking, Patricia fell asleep, he checked on her temperature, kissed her forehead and came back downstairs to Ellen.
She didn´t want to disturb their moments, she knew how much Patty adores Carlisle and therefore she gave them privacy. In the meantime she prepared the table for nice dinner.
He came in and stared: „ Wow, that is surprise…."
She looked at him: „ this is something small…to thank you for everything you do for us…."
He came closer to her: „ We are friends and you know I will help you anytime…."
Then he added: „If I had known I would be invited for such a wonderful dinner, I wouldn´t have eaten in the Cafe on the corner."
Ellen was a bit disappointed, she hasn´t expected this.
Immediately she began apologising: „Sorry, it was a silly idea….I could have guessed that….sorry…"
She wanted to clean up the table and felt like a fool. What did she think? A surprise? Nonsense…..She was angry at herself. She acted like a in idiot. What does he have to think about her?
He watched her as she wanted to clean the plates and stopped her by saying: „ Ellen…"
She apologised: „ Sorry, I didn´t want to make you uncomfortable…"
SHe was still moving and he touched her arm as she was passing by and that gesture made her stay: „ I had no idea of this, but I think that I can take a few pieces, … I mean… I will be glad to have the dinner with you…"
She doubted: „ But you don´t have to do it…..it is no problem…"
He looked her in the eyes and she felt for the first time that her knees were getting weak by the urgency in his eyes: „ Ellen, I do wish to have a dinner with you….. really, I do….."
She managed to smile a little bit and he took away the chair from the table and helped her to sit down. They began eating in silence and enjoyed the atmosphere.
Carlisle asked questions about Patricia and they were laughing together during the whole meal.
When he left, she was thinking back about the whole evening. They were talking, drinking, having fun and she really liked his company.
He was really so handsome and she could understand the local women who claim that he is very charming. She was kind of mesmerised by him too.
If she hadn´t been married, she would certainly have been interested in him.
But she was, and therefore she had to regard him just as a friend.
And definitely it was becoming harder and harder.
There was no other way. She has to remain faithful.
