Ch 54
Ellen missed the dinner and she was woken up by her daughter: „ Muuuuuum….wake up….we are going to class….."
Ellen opened her eyes and stared: „ What?...it´s still the night, isn´t it?"
Patricia disagreed: „ No, mum, you slept yesterday for so long, dad told me to let you sleep….won´t you go with us today?"
„It is really the morning?" She was still a bit confused. Carlisle opened the door and was holding a plate in his hand: „ Yes, sweetie, it´s already 7 am, how are you feeling?"
She hit her forehead: „ Better, much better….thanks…..just need something to drink….my throat is so dry…."
He grinned and handed her the breakfast: „ Bed and breakfast at your service…."
She smiled when he sat down to his two girls: „ You´re amazing…you know that?"
He kissed her cheek: „ Well, the young lady here assisted me….so it was great cooperation…"
Ellen smiled and Patricia: „ Thank you, Patty….what were you doing yesterday?"
She smiled: „ We were playing outside with Edward and Jasper…. It was so much fun…."
Ellen was listening to her daughter explaining about the afternoon.
She couldn´t believe she slept for so long. It was almost unbelievable. But she needed it, she was so tired. She was watching Carlisle and he seemed to be deep in his thoughts. When they brought Patty to her class, he wanted to drive before she touched his hand. He stopped moving and she asked: „ Carlisle? Did anything happen?"
He shook the head: „ No…..no…. nothing….I just….."
She grinned: „ You just what?...sorry, but I don´t know you like this…"
She watched him: „ Come, on, Carlisle…..this isn´t your style…"
Then she looked down: „ Is it about the baby, right?...you just got scared by that….didn´t you?"
Before she could continue, he stopped her by giving his thumb on her lips: „ No…..no….Elly, you´re wrong…I mean…there are so many things I want to talk about with you…"
She caressed his hand: „ Then, why are you so nervous? Just talk to me….."
He kissed her hand: „ in the afternoon….I will…I promise….."
She smiled and he asked: „ Can we go to work?"
She agreed and he drove to the practice.
The office was pretty boring. Not many people were coming and Carlisle was kind of glad about it. He could at least think about the evening talk. He needed to prepare so many things. He wanted to tell her first about his origin and then to propose if she accepts it. But during the day he got a text from Alice advising him to do it opposite. He should begin with the better news. He didn´t see the reason in this but he decided to do what he was told. Ellen was also kind of bored and she was sending him emails with questions.
She tried to make him a bit cheerful. He seemed so desperate since the morning. When the nurse left for lunch, she jumped in his office and knocked on the door. He knew immediately that it was her. Ellen opened slowly and asked: „ What would you say to a five minutes break?"
He smiled: „ I would say it´s a great idea…."
She moved closer to him and he sat her on his lap: „ I was missing you….."
He grinned: „ I could see that….I haven´t received so many emails from you for so long…."
She kissed him: „ see that? I am addicted to you…."
That made him feel warm in his chest and he kissed her back: „ I feel the same…." She continued kissing him and whispered between the kisses:
„ Can´t we just…just leave for the night somewhere…..I don´t know…..somewhere we will be alone? I miss you….."
He smiled: „ I am planning something like that…."
„Will you tell me more?"
„NO…."
She begged: „ Please…..I don´t know if you have noticed but I can be pretty impatient…."
He heard the noise in the corridor and stood her: „I have already noticed, love…..it´s hard to miss…."
She heard the noise too and before the nurse entered the office, she asked last time: „ Will you at least give a little hint?"
He tapped gently her back: „ Time to work, Mrs. Williams….you will have to wait…."
Ellen turned around: „ Then keep it…I don´t care anymore…."
She pretended to be insulted and left the office with her nose up. He had to laugh, she was really cute when she tried to pretend.
When he was leaving the office, she didn´t even look up. He still had to chuckle but decided to hurry. Alice already texted that she packed few clothes for him and for Ellen. Bella promised to pick Patty from school and spend the afternoon together. Actually all his kids wanted to spend time with their little sister. Next week they will all be leaving to their colleges and all of them will miss Carlisle, Ellen and Patty.
He also had to visit one very important place to pick up his order. Then he hurried back in his office. Luckily his Elly was busy with the some patients on the phone and he didn´t have to explain. He just said hi and disappeared in his office.
Ellen knew about his return and hoped he would talk to her but nothing happened in the following hour. She knew she couldn´t blame him. People were coming all the time but she was pretty impatient. If she had been able to walk quickly, she would have been walking all around the waiting room. She desperately wanted to know. Carlisle was a real secret to her. Since the morning he was acting weird. She was sure that something would happen in the evening and she was excited to know.
Two hours later he sent her a short email: „ Still angry?...don´t be….."
„me? Angry?...you must have seen something…"
That made him smile: „ Elly?... you´re provoking me?"
„I´d never dare…."
He couldn´t help but start laughing. She was really incredible. If only things were that easy, he wanted to tell her already. He was curious about her reaction. He hoped she won´t have hard time with the new situation. It is the fact. For the whole months she has been living in the house with a vampire or vampires if the kids also present. It might be too much for her to bear.
He noticed that he hasn´t replied. He wanted to tease her a little bit.
„Nervous?..."
„No….why should I be?"
„You should be…." That made Ellen smile: „ Then I hope it will be worth it…."
„Definitely….."
He had to return back to work because the nurse invited another child with his parent to the office.
Finally at 4 pm he closed the office and when the nurse left, he locked the office and headed to Ellen. She was already prepared waiting what the evening would bring her.
He came closer and hugged her: „ Sorry for the teasing, I know it wasn´t fair….." She caressed his cheek: „ Don´t worry…I liked that…..I kind of provoked you….."
„Well, that´s true…" He kissed her nose: „ Let´s go, shall we?"
She smiled and followed him with her crutches out of the office. He closed the whole practice and lead Ellen to the car.
When he drove away, she touched gently his hand: „ Carlisle, do you know when the doctor will….."
He finished: „ Remove the cast?"
She nodded and he finished: „ Well, I received the call from Dr. and she informed me that next week on Monday you could already have it all removed…."
Ellen grinned: „ Great…."
