Chapter 55
After an hour of driving Carlisle parked the car in front of a beautiful building. Ellen got out of the car and saw that they arrived to a very luxurious four star hotel.
She looked at him while took all the bags and watched her amazement: „ Do you like it?"
Ellen gasped: „ it´s incredible...I love it...….." He lead her directly to the courtyard and headed to one exact door.
She asked: „ Wait, how….. aren´t we supposed to….?"
He stopped her: „ Elly, relax…and enjoy it…everything has already been paid for..."
He came closer and hugged her: „ Watch….."
He took her hand again and she followed him to one door. He clicked a code next to one door and the door suddenly opened.
He entered and Ellen followed. She could see an amazing bedroom.
She mentioned: „ It looks like…"
He was interested: „ like what?"
„Well, perhaps like a place for newly weds…"
„What if it really is one?"
She grinned: „ Then I would say it was a brilliant idea… to get away from home for the night… I have never been to such romantic place…."
He lead her closer on the armchair and kneeled in front of her. He slowly touched her hand and whispered: „ Elly,….. we need to talk…"
She nodded: „ I know…you have been acting weird since the morning….I don´t know you behaving like this…."
He caressed her hand: „ Sorry, if I made you think something was wrong….."
She touched gently his cheek: „ So why are we here?...to disappear from the kids? Mine and yours?"
He chuckled: „ No, that´s not the exact reason…despite it looks like that..."
„Then what?..."
Carlisle watched her expecting his confessions and he reminded of what Alice told him. He spoke: „ Well, Elly….the reason I brought you here…is connected with two things I want to discuss with you….."
She teased him: „ Why are you so sad?..."
„Because….. I don´t know what you will say….and I am a little bit worried, I must admit..."
„Then say it and I will tell you…"
He held her hand so unnaturally that he almost feared he would squeeze her fingers.
But she was watching his actions and he said: „ Alright…."
He kneeled on one knee and took Ellen´s hand to kiss the knuckles. Then he began: „ Elly, I know that we are not together for so long but since the moment I met you….I feel that we have so much in common and I love you so much that sometimes I think I cannot love you more…..you have fulfilled my life with love, understanding and support, you helped me in my hard times and became a wonderful companion in my whole existence….I would like to ask you if you would like to marry me?"
He looked in her eyes to see her reaction.
Ellen was watching him and couldn´t believe her own ears. She would never expect him to do something like this.
They weren´t together for long.
She said: „ But, Carlisle, I….. I told you….you don´t have to do anything just because…..because of the baby….. I don´t….I mean you know….I don´t want to you feel obligated to us…"
He interrupted her: „ Elly, it´s foolish to think that I would like to marry you just because you are pregnant…I would just love to be sincere to you…. tonight….I would like to share everything with you….."
She gasped: „ I….I just…I can´ t believe….it´s so sudden…."
He watched her and asked: „ Ellie, sweetie?..."
She looked in his eyes and could see the adoring look that she loved. It could always enchant her. But she knew she cannot resist.
She smiled and caressed his cheek: „ It will be an honor for me to marry you, Carlisle….I love you…."
He immediately smiled and opened a small box that was hidden in his shirt. He kissed her passionately and then he took her finger and gave it to the correct finger.
Ellen was watching him concentrating and couldn´t help to smile. He was so cute and romantic….
Yes, it was sudden and maybe fast but she didn´t care.
He began kissing her and she kissed him back. She enjoyed this moment. She loved this man and nothing could divide them.
He was everything she ever dreamed of.
After the first bad marriage she believed this was her second chance to love.
She was sure that their relationship is perfect.
And soon she will be the new Mrs. Cullen and she will finally have the big family.
She was watching Carlisle´s face. Yes, he seemed to be happy but there was something still bothering him.
She kissed his forehead and asked: „ Is there anything wrong?..."
He looked down and she was holding his hands. He didn´t say anything…
She asked again: „ Carlisle? Love, is there anything wrong?...I thought you wish to marry me?..you proposed….."
He could see her growing doubts and decided to tell the truth: „Elly…..this what I want to say, has nothing to do with our marriage….I mean…I wish to marry you…that counts….and it will never change…..just…"
She was kind of confused:
„ Just?..."
He breathed hard and continued: „ Elly….., I mean…for the whole time when we live together…have you ever noticed anything weird about me? Or…about my family?..."
She stared:
„ What do you mean?" He continued: „ Elly…you know that me and my kids …..we have cold hands….."
„you said you have some special skin conditions…"
He caressed her cheek: „ Elly…that is a very special condition…in fact it is connected with our special origin…."
She was getting more confused: „Origin?..."
He asked: „ You have not noticed anything else that surprised you?"
She shrugged: „ Well, you claimed you had a special diet…that was surprising for me in the beginning but…I truly don´t follow what you all do during the day…..you always seemed to cook for everyone, well….Bella or Rose did….."
He smiled sadly and caressed her cheek.
He looked in her eyes and began talking: „ Elly…. We….I mean…..I hoped you would notice something and made it easier for me to explain but…"
She stopped him: „ Carlisle, notice what?...what are you talking about? What should I notice?..."
She was getting impatient and he could feel that. He decided not to fake anymore. He kissed her hand and looked her in the eyes: „ Elly, there is one thing that you don´t know about my family….."
He was all the time keeping the eye contact hoping that Ellen might be more understanding that he truly means it. Ellen still had no idea: „ I am afriad…I am not following you….."
He smiled sadly: „ Elly, now I want to say something…I know it may sound weird or awkward but I want you to believe everything I say no matter how unusual this will be…."
She watched him: „ You talk so …."
He stopped her: „Ellen, I wanted to tell you….. the only thing I have been hiding from you….but I wish to be completely sincere with you….. have no secrets…..I hope you will understand…"
She still didn´t get any suspicion. She hoped he didn´t have any serious criminal past. She couldn´t imagine anything being worse. She couldn´t believe he would be able to do anything bad.
He seemed to be so nice, compassionate, understanding, a perfect match for every woman. She didn´t want to believe there could be anything bad about him. It scared her the way he began to talk suddenly. She decided not to guess and wait what he would say.
He was silent for few seconds and then continued: „ the reason why we hide this… is because we have to keep our origin in absolute secret…..no human may know about us…"
She watched him as he said silently: „ I am trying to say…that we are all vampires…..me and my whole family…..all of us….."
Ellen closed the mouth and couldn´t believe what he said: „ You´re what?..."
„Vampires…."
