Okay, That Hurt - Pt. 2 - Carlisle x Reader
(Part 1)
Genre - cute fluff stuff, possibly implied spice (not smut)
Warnings - cussing, age gap, implied spicy time
Summary - after the little accident with the demonic stairs, it’s about time Y/N get their cast off. However, that means the same certain doctor will be there to help with that, and he’s determined to see Y/N again, but this time somewhere outside of the hospital without a broken bone or any other injury.
Today is the day, people! Today is the day!
Not only do I finally get my cast off on this fine afternoon, but I get to see Dr. Carlisle Cullen once more. Oh, how my heart has been swooning over him since I left the hospital that first time! Sure it was only about a month and a half ago, but damn have I been utterly tempted to just ‘accidentally’ fracture my ankle, or maybe slip on those same demonic stairs again… definitely not on purpose though.
I feel like a high school student again, one that has a stupid, innocent crush on their teacher that they know nothing will ever come out of it. But, still, it’s fun to remember how a little infatuation feels.
It’s been too long since I’ve had someone — well, someone who’s actually real and not fictional — make me all giddy and giggly and shit. I think about him and start twirling my hair, kicking my feet, and biting my lip with a turn of excitement in the pit of my belly.
Do I know that nothing is gonna happen? Yes. Yes I do.
Am I still gonna pretend like that man is gonna be my future husband? Yes. Yes I am.
I was putting on my shoes when I took a quick look at the time. It was one o’clock. I still had another hour before I needed to be at the hospital. I wanted to try and pass the time so I wouldn’t be on the verge of throwing up from how nervous I was from seeing Dr. Cullen again. It’s all fun and games until you actually have to be next to the object of your affection in person.
“Let’s go bother Bella.” I whispered to myself while I got up from my seat and began putting on my coat by the entrance. Turning the knob, I walked out and closed the door behind me. I glanced at the cars in her driveway. Her truck was there, but another car that I didn’t recognize was too. “Edward.” I finally decided that’s who it was. It couldn’t be Charlie, he was at work.
I did end up meeting Edward a while ago, he’s a good guy, maybe a tad bit eccentric, but Bella really likes him so I guess I do as well.
I really like his dad, that’s for sure.
Making my way to the steps, I came to an abrupt stop as I remembered my previous accident with them. Inspecting the stairs for any unseen slippery ice, I had come to the conclusion that it should be safe.
“Yeah… fuck you.” I flipped off the step in particular that had tried to kill me. My feet made contact with the ground, and I let out a small breath of relief that I didn’t even know I was holding. Crossing my yard into Bella’s, I went to her front door and knocked with my good arm a couple of times. I waited a few with no answer, so I decided to repeat my actions. On my third knock, the door opened and Bella stood in front of me. I gave her a smile and a wave, and my eyes glanced past her to Edward. I saw that his hair was kind of a mess, and when I looked back at Bella, I noticed her shirt’s top buttons were undone.
My eyebrows raised a little, and my mouth formed an O shape before I started giggling like a little kid.
“I’m sorry, am I interrupting something?” My smile only grew bigger.
Bella’s eyes looked everywhere but me, her hand running through her hair and she kept it on the back of her head as she stuttered out, “N-no, no not at all. Come in.” She bit her lip as she stepped to the side for me to walk through.
I did, looking at Edward and the tiny grin on his features.
“You might have interrupted a little something.” He spoke, his gaze not leaving his flustered girlfriend, to which she gave him a very noticeable glare, almost as if telling him to shut up with her eyes.
“Aw darn it, my bad guys!” I apologized again. “I just wanted to pop in and say hello before I went to my appointment to get this son of a bitch off.” Pointing to my cast, I kept talking. “But I promise I’ll leave soon so you two can get back to your foreplay.”
My words only made Bella even more shy, but I did get a chuckle from Edward before he spoke up.
“Oh yeah, my dad can’t wait to see how it’s healed.”
All jokes about the happy couple immediately left my mind as images of Carlisle replaced them. I felt my face heat up at the thought of him somehow looking forward to our — professional — meeting today.
“Ah… what, he’s asked about me?” I tried to play off my butterflies.
“Every time Bella comes over.”
I looked at her, and she was nodding her head in agreement with her hands in her pant’s front pockets.
“…Which is all the time.” Edward finished.
I lightly coughed, trailing my finger along a dusted item to do anything with my hands except fiddle with them.
“Hm, good to know he cares about his patients.” I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from grinning ear to ear. “Makes me feel more comfortable in his care.”
“I don’t think it’s just that.” The pale boy voiced.
“Yeah, like… you’re the only patient he’s asked about so frequently like this… or ever.” Bella awkwardly stated.
I blinked.
“C’mon guys, it’s only because you two know me. He’s only being courteous, yeah?”
“No, I don’t think so.” She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “I mean, do you know how many times Mike has hurt himself? We know him and Carlisle never asks about his injuries.”
“…Maybe he’s not very fond of Mike?” I was more so asking myself that in order to keep my composure. Sure, the idea of Carlisle actually being interested in me is absolutely exhilarating… however it’s quite terrifying in reality.
An older man who is the town’s favorite doctor and has kids that are very close to the age of my own? Given they’re adopted, but still.
How would society — the community — react to that?
Innocent flirting is always fun, but when there’s actual intentions behind it? I might need to rethink my feelings.
When neither of them answered, I took that as my sign to go ahead and get to the hospital and have this over with as quickly as I can.
“Alright, well, I’ve gotta get going, but I’ll let you guys know how it goes and what the verdict is.” I smiled. I gave Bella a small hug and waved bye to Edward before I saw myself out.
The chilly air hit my face like a brick, and I took a deep breath as I rubbed my hands together in an attempt to get them warm. I had grabbed my keys before I went next door, so I just walked to my car and got in. Starting it, I kept thinking about what they said about Carlisle. Needless to say, I’m about a hundred times more anxious than I was before, but I’m just gonna blame the coffee I had earlier for the upset stomach I was beginning to get.
My mind was racing as I drove to the hospital. I’m not gonna lie, I was driving like five miles below the speed limit. I was gonna be a little early anyway, so it’s okay. The fact that I was so excited to see his angelic face again when I thought there was no chance he would like me, but now that I know there might be a possible chance that he does I am dreading this interaction.
I can’t get too hopeful. Maybe he really is just a caring doctor who just so happens to be asking about me a lot more than his other patients. Yeah, that’s it.
When I pulled into the parking lot, I must have sat there for a good three minutes before finally getting out.
“Okie dokie. Let’s get this thing off… that’s what I’m here for… nothing else.”
I stepped inside and made my way to the front desk to a woman sitting behind the counter.
“Uh, hi! I have an appointment with Dr. Cullen for removing my cast.”
“Name please.” The woman didn’t even look at me.
“…Y/N L/N.”
“Have a seat and someone will call you to the back when it’s time.” Not even a glance my way.
“Um. Okay.”
I did as told and sat in one of the chairs, ignoring the fact that the lady could’ve been a little nicer or something, she could’ve at least made eye contact with me… but no need to dwell on that. If people wanna be negative there’s nothing I can do about it.
I heard the doors to the back open, and when I looked up I saw a nurse come out.
“L/N?”
Shit shit shit shit.
“Yup!” I got up.
“How are you today?” She asked, a smile on her face. Much different from the woman at the front.
“I’m good! I’ll be a lot better once this thing is off.”
“Oh, I bet! You’ll be walking out of here with a brand new arm!” She laughed. I followed her to the back and she had me sit down on the edge of one of the beds. “Alright, well Dr. Cullen will be with you in a moment.” And with that she was on her way.
All I could do is wait in anticipation now.
It’ll be a quick process, there’s nothing to worry about. Hell, maybe I’ll even throw in another wink when I leave like the last time.
Honestly? Maybe I’ll shoot my shot! There’s nothing to lose, and the age gap isn’t even that big…
I don’t think, anyway.
The curtain to my section was pulled shut, so when the light sound of footsteps could be heard getting closer to me I couldn’t help but adjust how I was sitting. I straightened my posture and fixed my hair even though it didn’t need fixing. I was expecting the curtain to open and Carlisle in all of his glory to step in with his pearly whites showing and that glint in his eyes, but when the footsteps got close enough to enter, they turned a corner and faded out.
I slouched back down in disappointment and relief. That was until the curtains suddenly got pulled back at the speed of fucking light. I jumped up, startled and a small gasp escaping my lips.
And of fucking course it was the one and only Carlisle Cullen.
“Fucking hell, fuck me— god damn you scared me!” I muttered the first part, my heart pounding and my blood rushing. He let out a hearty laugh, closing the hanging fabric again.
“Sure, if you’d like.” The words absentmindedly left his mouth. I was confused at first, until I had realized what he was replying to. The blood that was rushing from a sudden fright was now rushing due to his flustering response. He turned around to face me now, and he was just as gorgeous if not more than the last time I saw him. “How have you been?”
"Oh... um, I've been okay! Getting by as well as I can with this stupid thing." I said, lifting up the wrist I idiotically broke. "Hopefully the doc has some good news for me though."
"The doc is about to have a look..." Carlisle's features changed from amusement to concentration as his gaze traveled across my face, making his way down to what I thought would be my cast, but his attention passed my injury and kept lowering... and lowering... until he finally started to go upwards again.
Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? I felt the heat rise to my chest, neck, ears, literally everywhere as his eyes scaled my entire being. It felt like he was checking me out, not looking me over. Either way, it's getting a little hard to breathe.
"You look great... healthy."
Yeah, obviously. I only had a small concussion, a few scrapes on my arm, and this dumb ass fragile bone that snapped.
He has to be doing this on purpose.
"Thank y—...ou." My breathing completed haltered, my words coming to a stop followed by an embarrassing linger when his hand gently grasped my jaw, his thumb on my chin as he tilted my head side to side.
His touch was still as cold as I remembered, a strange yet comforting feeling.
Just as I thought he was done, his free hand found my forehead, his fingers brushing away the hair that rested there and his face getting closer to mine... to get a better look I'd assume.
I could feel his breath on my cheek, and I was wondering if he could hear how fast my heart was beating. When he finally backed away, a tiny cough that I couldn't hold escaped. God, I hope he doesn't ask why my face is so red, because the way I was feeling right now It couldn't be anything but.
His gaze held my own for a few seconds before he spoke.
"Well, it looks like your concussion is gone."
…Yeah, I figured.
"Now, let's get this ugly bastard off shall we?" Carlisle pulled up the rolling seat right in front of me and a cart with everything he needed was sat beside us in his reach. Without warning, he took ahold of my covered arm and adjusted it to his liking, propping it on the empty space on the top of the cart. He grabbed the saw tool that looked like it was meant to be a torture weapon in a horror movie and held it up. Looking at me with a sweet smile, he said, "Don't worry, the worst you'll feel is a tickle."
I nodded to tell him I understood, and he turned it on. He started cutting, and he was definitely right. I couldn't help the small giggles leaving my lips as the vibrations from the cast saw tickled my entire arm. Dr. Cullen grinned at my laughs, still concentrating on removing the plaster. Once he was done, he slowly removed it. I saw the inside and immediately cringed.
"That is so gross..." I muttered.
"I've seen worse." Carlisle stated. "Trust me... you've done pretty good taking care of it!" His cold touch gently held my wrist up and he started moving it. It felt weird, I knew it was just because I hadn't moved it in a while, but at least there was no pain. "There we go, back to normal!"
I slowly took over, and after inspecting it I had come to the conclusion that everything was fine.
"Yeah... I guess you're right." I jokingly tried to question his experience.
"You guess? I have a degree."
"Oh do you?"
It was silent for a few seconds, our eyes never breaking contact before the two of us broke out into a fit of laughs and chuckles. Our excitement died down, and I jumped up now that it was over with.
"Thank you, Carlisle! I'll try not to break any more bones for you." I grinned at him. He mimicked my features. Sadly, I was about to wish him a farewell, that is until he spoke before I got the chance to.
"There's something else you could do for me too, if you don't mind."
My brows raised just the slightest bit in curiosity.
"What's that?" I asked, expecting him to tell me to wrap myself in bubble wrap, or tell Bella he says hi, but both of those guesses were farther than far off.
"Go out with me?... Tonight?"
Oh, wow.
"I get off in a few hours, I'll pick you up. 6:30?" He continued, a hopeful glint in those beautiful fucking eyes of his.
"Um..." I started. My mind was jolting forward to things people might say, how they would view this, what would actually come out of this. So many things that I didn't need to worry about kept jumbling around in my head. But that's what they were, things I didn't need to worry about. "Yeah. Yeah!" My hesitancy dissipating as I realized the opportunity I had here. "Let me give you my address." I was beaming.
Carlisle's face lit up even more than mine. "No need! I know where Bella lives, so I know where you live."
Oh yeah, forgot about that.
I bit my lip in a silly attempt to stop smiling any wider than I already was before he had to stitch my mouth back to normal.
"Perfect!... I'll see you at 6:30, doc." I giddily waved goodbye as I exited the curtained room. I didn't give him a chance to say anything else, mainly because if I stayed there any longer I thought I would drop dead from excitement, anxiety, and how hot he was. At least there would have been a doctor in the room.
I guess Bella and Edward were right to think he might have liked me as more than a patient, but now I have to figure out what the heck I’m gonna wear tonight.
When I left the hospital and got inside of my car, I let out an ecstatic scream. As soon as I get home I have to tell Bella, and I was hoping Edward would be gone by now. I think it would be a little awkward having me excitedly ramble on about how Carlisle and I are going on a date when his son would be in the same room listening to how his dad asked me out.
Adoptive dad, but like I said, still.
Leaving the parking lot, I practically floored it back to the house. As I was pulling into my drive, I noticed both of the cars that were in front of Bella’s place were gone.
“They both left? In separate cars?” I was confused as hell, but who am I to question these things. Edward was a strange man… and so was his family, but I’m literally going on a date with his father so I can’t say anything. Maybe I can pinpoint just what makes them so… well, unique, tonight.
Before I got out of the vehicle, I looked at the time. A little after three. Okay, I have a bit over three hours to get ready, that’s plenty of time. Though, I do need to be ready earlier just in case, so maybe I have about two hours and a half.
I rushed inside of the house, slamming the door shut behind me and speed walking my way to the bathroom while simultaneously taking off pieces of my clothing so I could take a shower now that my cast was off. I tossed them on the floor as I went along, I'll pick them up later.
What if he wants to come inside afterwards... or before? I also have to clean and make sure everything looks nice in here too, because that is a possibility.
Oh god... what if...
What if he wants to come inside, if you catch my drift.
Whatever, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
If we get there.
Once again, my mind was going over a billion scenarios that could happen tonight. I definitely wasn't doing any favors by easing my anxiety.
Before I knew it, time flew by and the last thing I needed to do was pick an outfit. I had straightened up my place enough to where it would look good but not like I was doing too much. My hair was nice, and I touched up any blemishes that might could be seen. Now, the wow factor. The clothes.
I needed to figure out whether I was going for more casual, fancy, comfy, or something else. I could do a mixture? I'm not sure what to expect from this, where we're going and all of that.
That's why I settled for something casual, but a nice casual, so it would be alright for any occasion that wasn't the red carpet or an award winning program.
By the time I got done, it was seventeen minutes before 6:30. To say I was nervous was an understatement, but I was excited too. I was practically walking around in circles pacing all over the place waiting for a knock on the door or the bell to ring. I didn't wanna sit down because I would could wrinkle my outfit, and the moment I sat down would probably be the moment he arrived. I walked to the kitchen and fixed myself a glass of ice water to help ease my nerves. The chill ran down my throat to my spine, and I let out deep breathe through my nose. I stared at the rim of the glass and the ice floating around in the water before taking another sip.
When I did that, the sound of a few thumps from the door came and I jumped. The water I was swallowing in the process shifted the wrong way, and I was met with a fit of coughs from the sudden startle. I was trying to hold them in, and I took another quick sip to chase it.
I'm just glad Carlisle didn't have some kind super hearing to understand what just happened to me from across the threshold, how embarrassing would that be if he heard?
I jogged to the door and stood there for a few seconds to regain any composure I had lost. With a little pat on the back, I opened it.
Carlisle stood on the other side with a smile on his face and one hand behind his back. I hadn't seen him in anything but his scrubs and coat before, so when I saw him dressed in a button down and slacks I couldn't help but stare.
"You look good too." He spoke, breaking me from my trance.
"Oh, gosh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-"
"No need to apologize! Why wouldn't I want to get ogled by someone as beautiful as you?" He pulled his hand out from behind his back to reveal a spectacular bouquet of flowers. "They reminded me of you." He handed them to me with my mouth dropped in surprise.
Talk about old fashioned romance. I'm drooling for this man.
I sniffed them, and of course they smelled absolutely delightful.
"Thank you, Carlisle! They're gorgeous!" I beamed, trying to identify what kind each flower was since it was an assorted bouquet. He pointed to one that was drooping, the only one that was drooping for a matter of fact.
"I got this one specifically, because it had the stooping flower. I thought it could represent your broken wrist."
That drew out a hearty chortle from me.
"I love them, thank you!" I went back inside and left the door open to put these in a vase before we left. "You're welcome to come inside if you'd like, but I'll just be a jiffy!"
He decided to wait right there as I continued to situate the flowers. When I was done, I put them on the kitchen table and hurried back to him. I stepped outside and closed the door behind me, locking it.
"So what do you have planned, doc?" We walked to his car parked on he side of the road in front of the driveway.
"Come on now, what fun is it if I tell you?" He picked up his pace to open the passenger side door for me. I giggled, thanking him in the process.
"Such a gentleman." I said, getting in the seat. I looked at him as I grabbed the seatbelt. He had one hand on the top of the door and the other holding himself up on the side of the car. Then, he winked at me as he pushed it shut. I watched as he walked around the car to the drivers side and got in. "And I thought chivalry was dead."
"...In a way." He muttered, but I couldn't tell what he said.
"Huh?"
"Nothing." He smiled at me as he started the ignition and drove. I didn't think anything of it.
"I'm really excited for tonight, ya know." I spoke. "If I'm being honest, I've had a small crush on you since you put my cast on."
"I know." Carlisle glanced at me and grinned.
"Wait, what? How?"
"Just had a feeling." He replied. "And I'm glad I was right, because I've had a big crush on you ever since I put your cast on."
I knew we were going on a date right now, and he's the one who asked me out, but hearing him say that he's liked me the same time I've liked him is just mind boggling to me. We talked for a bit more before we made it into downtown, and he parked.
"Okay, it's a downtown date?" I looked around from the window. There were tea lights in the trees which lit up the night sky, it was a really pretty sight, one of the reasons I loved going downtown at this time.
"I hope that's okay, I'd love to spoil you tonight. Every night, if you'd let me."
Swoon.
Carlisle didn't give me a chance to answer, he exited the car and went to my side to let me out. He held out his hand once he opened the door, and I took it immediately.
"If this is how you treat your potential lovers, I don't think I'll ever want to leave your side." I joked. He gently pulled to help me stand, and when I stood up from getting out, the proximity of our bodies were a lot closer than I had anticipated.
"That's the plan." He whispered, but we were so close I heard it loud and clear. Our eyes met, and I looked for anything that indicated any sort of distrust in his gaze, but all I saw was longing and affection. I felt myself starting to get flustered, so I broke contact and stepped back, thankful that the air was chilly enough to cool down any heat I started to feel from him.
"Where should we go first?" I changed the subject, looking at all of the different shops in both directions. Stepping on the sidewalk, Carlisle followed me.
"Wherever you want to go." He suggested.
"Well I don't want to go into a store that you'd rather not go in." I started, but in response he started to laugh.
"Thank you, but if you're happy, I'm happy. Wherever you'd like to go, I'd like to go."
"...You're too sweet." I looked at him. Without asking, I took his arm in mine and held it with my hands while I guided him down the walkway. "What about the bookstore first?"
"That sounds lovely."
We entered the shop, and the atmosphere was cozy and warm. There were chairs at the front to sit and read, the lights glowed an amber hue, and the smell was a nice mixture of oakwood and new and old books alike. The man at the counter greeted us, to which we waved and smiled back. I walked to my favorite section with Carlisle beside me and started browsing.
"What's your favorite genre?" I asked, stopping my search to turn my attention to him.
"I'm fond of historical nonfiction."
"Oh, really? I would have assumed medical books are your forte... like stuff on anatomy. Or maybe romance."
"Why would I read about anatomy when I could study yours?"
I was not expecting those words to leave his mouth. My brows raised in shock and I quickly turned my face back to the stories I was looking at so he wouldn't see the intense blush starting to show. I wasn't quite sure what to say, until one book caught my eye and I pulled it off the shelf.
"Ooo! What's this?" I read the title. "Eternity's Love... interesting." I was skimming over the back to see what it was about. "Listen to this! It's a paranormal romance about a vampire and a human... I do love me some vampires."
“Oh? Why?”
“Hm, they’re mysterious and hot.”
“They drink blood.”
“…To each their own.”
I put the book back and made my way down the isle, not seeing the tiny smirk on Carlisle’s face. We ended up staying in the store for another fifteen minutes, and after he made me pick out something to get when I was reluctant to have him pay — which he still did — we went to our next spot, the antique store.
There were a lot of little trinkets I was excited to look at, and if I weren’t mistaken, it seemed like Carlisle was more excited to look at me rather than the objects displayed in front of us. I picked up a few things throughout the store, inspecting them and placing them back in their rightful spots. I would practically point to almost anything I found and say, “Carlisle, look!” to which he would continue to explain what it was, which time period it was from, and what it was used for, almost as if he’s lived through them before and used those very items.
“This is beautiful.” I gasped, gently grabbing an old music box with the handle on the side to wind. I turned it, and although it was a bit scratchy due to its age, the music began to play and it was gorgeous. I didn’t know what the melody was, but it was soft and romantic. “I wonder what the story behind this one is.”
Carlisle looked at me while I went on.
“Maybe a courageous sailor gave it to his weeping lover right before he went to sea. Or maybe it was a gift to a little child from their parents, or an heirloom of some sorts. So many different possibilities, and somehow it ended up here, in my hands right now.”
“Regardless the story, now it’s your turn to make your own with it.” He spoke, taking it from my hands and walking to the register.
“…I could’ve payed.” I said to myself underneath my breath, he was already ringing it up and wrapping it before I went over there. “Let me buy you something.” I told him as we grabbed the bag and exited the shop. The chill from the air hit my face, and I subconsciously — well, maybe consciously — moved closer to him.
“You being with me tonight is enough already.” He smiled, taking my hand in his. His touch was still ice cold, but I blamed it on the weather outside. I felt bad that he was spending his money on me, but when I saw the sign for the coffee shop I lit up.
“I’ll buy us coffee! Or whatever you prefer! It’ll warm us up.” Beaming, I pulled him inside before he could resist. We were instantly met with the wonderful aromas of coffee, tea, spices, and everything else so great about a coffee shop.
There was another couple ordering in front of us, so we stood off to the side to look at the chalkboard of flavors hanging on the wall.
“Thank you, Y/N, but I don’t drink coffee… or tea.”
“I can buy you hot chocolate?”
“I’m okay, really, thank you for the offer.”
“…What do you drink then?”
He stared off to the side to think before bursting out into a mischievous grin, saying, “Blood red wine.”
I giggled with a roll of my eyes.
“Are you sure you don’t want anything?” I asked again, stepping to order now that the other couple had just left. He nodded his head, and with a disappointed sigh I told the boy at the register what I’d like. I decided to get a honey lavender chai tea latte. He rang it up and told me my total, but when I was getting out my card, Carlisle had already handed him his.
“Carlisle!” I protested.
“It’s only right that I pay for yours since I’m not getting anything.”
I furrowed my brows in genuine annoyance, which he definitely saw.
“Hey! I’ll let you buy me something on our next date.” He took his card back.
“So you wanna go on another date?” I perked up, and we waited for my drink to be made.
“Of course I do.”
His words caused me to break out into a shy smile, and I bit my lip in an attempt to keep it from growing bigger.
Once I was handed my latte, we left the store and walked to a bench close to the car. I sat down next to Carlisle and started sipping, the hot liquid traveling down my throat and immediately warming me up. I was staring off at the other side of the street at the lights in the trees, but from the corner of my eye I saw Carlisle staring at me.
“It’s really pretty, isn’t it?” I turned my head to him. The side of his face glowed a golden hue from the lights, and his eyes twinkled while his gaze met mine. He truly looked angelic.
“Yeah, it is.” He replied.
I had a feeling he was talking about something else.
We stayed there for a bit until the wind picked up and my cup was empty. I threw it away and we got in the car to leave, but of course he opened the door for me again. We talked about a lot of things on the drive back, and when he pulled into my driveway I couldn’t help but think about how I really didn’t want this night to end.
“Gosh, I don’t even wanna get out of the car.” I let out a chuckle.
“You know you don’t have to.” He stated. I looked at the time, and saw that it was 8:30. I had work in the morning, and so did he.
I sighed, taking a few seconds to think before I finally unbuckled and quickly opened the door to leave with my bags with the stuff he got for me. Carlisle followed, upset that I opened my own door.
“I was supposed to do that!”
I laughed, getting my keys out and stopping in front of my door with Carlisle beside me. I turned to him, a small smile on my features.
“I had a really nice time tonight.” I said to him.
“Yeah, me too.” He replied. “I’m thinking we do this again… say, in about—…” He glanced at his watch. “Ten minutes?”
“Oh yeah, okay.” I giggled at his joke. He was looking at me with something in his eyes that I couldn’t quite catch, but it was enough to send butterflies to my stomach. “Well, I—…” My voice trailed off when I saw him lean in and felt his lips on my forehead, my face now adorned with a blush. When I thought that was it, he moved down to the tip of my nose and placed a light kiss on top of it. The lower he got, the faster my heart was beating. His lips were finally in front of my own, and his eyes were on mine. We were so close, he was hovering in front of me, waiting, almost as if searching for consent. I gave a slight nod, and felt his lips gently press against mine.
My eyes closed, and hopefully his did too. I leaned into the kiss, and was happy when he did the same. Both of his hands cupped my face, and I felt my stomach twist with excitement. It was sweet, romantic, but unfortunately it was short. He pulled away and rested his forehead on mine.
“Ya know, you’re welcome to come in. I can make us some popcorn and we can watch a movie.” I whispered, my eyes fluttering open again. To my dismay, he moved completely now and stepped back.
“I would love to, but I think you need to rest.”
As if he willed it, a yawn was conjured and my mouth stretched open to let it out.
“…Maybe you’re right.” I frowned. He took my keys from my hand and unlocked the door for me before opening it. I walked past him inside, and then turned to him again. “Let me know when you get home?”
“Of course.” He gave me another kiss on the forehead, then started walking back to his car. When he was to the driver’s side, he stopped and looked at me. “Get some sleep. Doctor’s orders!”
I grinned, nodding my head with a wave of my hand as I shut the door and locked it. I turned around and pressed my back against the wood, and I heard his car turn on and him leaving. I couldn’t believe the events that had just unfolded, I was smiling like a freak, all giddy. I was still against the door when I suddenly heard the house phone ringing. I hurried to pick it up and answered it, but before I could even say hello, Bella’s voice spoke from the other line.
“Am I mistaken, or… did I just see Carlisle leaving your house?”
“Bella, hey!”
I was beaming as I replayed the events that happened in the last couple of hours in my mind. It looks like I had a long story to tell before I could follow the doctor’s orders tonight.

Meeting you
Can't help falling in love- Beck
↺͏͏ ◁◁͏͏ ll ▷▷ ⋮≡
1948
Dear Esther and Thade,
Philadelphia is the most unhelpful town for vegetarian vampires. There is no free space for wild animals big enough to stratify one's thirst. Alice says that we are here for a good reason, that we will meet him -Jasper- soon, but I digress. If you were planning on coming to Philadelphia, I recommend against it. You will only find suffering and despair as the closest (animal-filled) forest is kilometers away. Yet, even if we only need to feed a few times a month, the sent of human blood is too much. The vapes from the city do not make things any better, and people are always saluting you.
I never thought that one day I would chastise people for being polite. Breathing is hard, even for me, I dare not imagine how difficult it is for Alice.
Forever yours,
(Y/N) E.
All morning, Alice insisted on stopping at a small coffee shop on their way back to the small apartment they shared, and (Y/N) found it weird because they, like vampires, didn't need to eat. They still could, of course, but everything would taste like dirt in their mouth, and the process of getting rid of the food afterward was not the most pleasant.
''Don't worry about it!'' Had said the small brunette while skipping on the sidewalk happily. It earned them weird looks from the human passerby, and (Y/N) only offered them a small smile for her friend's action.
The two girls had been shopping all day, renewing their wardrobes for the next three years or so to go, when Alice's eyes got lost in the chaos of her visions. She was getting better at not falling over when the visions hit her by surprise. Sometimes the red-eyed vampire still tumbled a little, but (Y/N) couldn't help her with a small pressure of her hand under her arm, or on her back. After her vision, Alice was adamant about going to a specific coffee shop.
And all (Y/N) could do was follow.
When Alice was set on something, it was nearly impossible to bring her out of it. (Y/N) did try often. Like that one-time Alice wanted to do a lap to New York City for an outside fashion show on one of the sunniest days there was. (Y/N) did everything in her power trying to convince Alice not to go, yet, she only managed to make them attend in the shadows.
''What did you see, Alice.'' Whispered (Y/N) in her friend's ears as they walked closer and closer to the coffee's door. The buzzing she was feeling in the bottom of her stomach, mixing with the butterflies frolicking near her heart, was making her nauseous. (Y/N) had never thought before that Vampire could feel like that.
''You'll see soon enough!'' She answered, a knowing smile playing on her lips. ''You'll love it!''
Throughout the burning excitement, she was feeling, (Y/N) was skeptical. It had to be something about that Jasper man again. Alice was anything but secretive about her visions, just when it came to him. She said she preferred not to tell her because of what would occur if she did. (Y/N) was now stuck to following the small girl around town to a specific coffee shop to meet someone -or find something- whichever Alice had stuck her mind on at the moment. (Y/N) only sighed but let her friend pull her through the city without contesting it any longer.
Alice quickly found the coffee shop she searched for because she stopped in front of a fashionably cute-ish building. She didn't wait for the other vampire to take a good look at it before entering thought. The pixie-sized girl let out a giggle as (Y/N) tried to make her slow down.
''He's here!'' She whispered frantically, happy to the taller girl, making her practically freeze.
Jasper.
The realization hit (Y/N) like a train as she was pulled deeper inside the coffee shop by the arm. There were things she still had to learn from Alice, the woman found. Even after all this time, she'd spent with Alice, (Y/N) didn't know what he was supposed to do with both of them. Taking a look around her, being filed by Alice's buzzing and bubbling happy anxiety, (Y/N) took in the place's particular stylish look. It looks like it came right out of a movie. Flowers were filling it, and the signs disclaiming the different drinks and food choices were written in careful and elegant penmanship. There weren't many people inside, maybe two young couples and a lone man, sitting near the window. He only had a glass of water, untouched, in front of him. Yet, it seemed like he had been sitting there for a while. (Y/N) could tell because of all the water there was beside the drink from the condensation.
The small vampire pulled her in the direction of the lone blond man.
''Alice...'' (Y/N) tried to protest in a low voice.
It did nothing to stop her.
''Hi!' She said in a high-pitched voice to the man. ''I'm Alice. Do you mind if we sit here?''
She had taken the blond man by surprise. (Y/N) could feel it inside, with the awkwardness Alice had created around them and the girl's buzzing happiness, she could feel the sudden drop of heart her voice brought when she surprised you. An uncomfortable warmth just under her sternum overtook the sparkling bubbles she knew of Alice, the nausea of nervousness and fear holding her hostage.
The man, Jasper, raised to them his blood-red eyes, eyebrows raised, nearly touching the first of his hair. He looked around himself as if he was wondering if the brunette was really talking to him. But before he could answer, Alice sat by his side, leaving the booth in front of them free for (Y/N) to use. The woman sighed and smiled toward the tuned head, looking at the trio.
''F'course, ma'am...'' finally said Jasper, eyeing both girls. (Y/N) took place before the two, shaking her head at her friend.
''My apologies.'' She said to him in a small voice. His eyes met hers for a second, but that was enough. (Y/N) could see everything in brighter colours; the odours were richer, and the emotions she felt clearer, in a way. Something was tugging at her chest to get her closer to something. (Y/N) wasn't sure what. She wasn't even sure she was the one feeling the pull.
On top of that, the golden -eyed vampire felt weird. Like something was bothering her. She felt her throat ache and the desperate need to hunt. She took a deep breath. There were also the emotions she felt. The young woman took another look at the people present in the coffee shop. Nobody was looking at them anymore, preferring their own lives to theirs. (Y/N) counted the heads she could see. Four, six humans inside the shop, two in the back, eight, if she excluded herself, being with emotions inside those walls. Then why did she feel like there were at least double the number of people present?
She looked at Alice and Jasper. The smaller vampire started a conversation with the man a little earlier, as the other girl was engrossed in her surroundings. She concentrated on what they were saying, swallowing the venom that was in her mouth. When the dry feeling didn't leave her, (Y/N) cleared her throat.
''Jasper's an empath too.'' Said Alice in a whisper, cutting through the small conversation the table was installed in. The man's eyebrows shot up again as he looked at the small girl sitting next to him. His mouth opened, and his anxiety augmented. He felt trapped. The lump in (Y/N)'s throat that lingered there since she came inside seemed to grow bigger. She took another calming breath through her nostrils. She felt the pressure in her head diminish. Only to feel the warmth in her sternum grow bigger.
''How d'yer know that, Miss Alice?'' He asked in an equally low tone, still nervous.
Alice giggled and looked at (Y/N), then back at Jasper.
''I've seen you. In my visions.'' She answered, still whispering.
A couple walked close to their table as they left, giving Alice and Jasper a weird look as they did. (Y/N) shot them a gentle smile. She felt their fright as they saw her eyes. She turned her attention back to the two other vampires before her.
''Is this really the right moment to discuss such matters?'' She asked finally, trying to get Alice's attention. One of her hands tried to subtly hide part of her face from the rest of the coffee shop without making it seem like she was. (Y/N) couldn't care less about Jasper at the moment. He was feeling thirsty, and it was making her feel it too. There were also too many ears in the coffee shop for (Y/N) to feel at ease. No, because only four humans could be the reason her true death could find her.
She wasn’t willing to take that chance.
''Oh, I completely forgot you two didn't know each other!'' Alice clapped her hands together. The butterflies came back into (Y/N)'s stomach, and her eyes grew big. The two humans sitting farther away from their group turned their heads in their direction again. (Y/N) dropped her eyes so as not to meet theirs.
You don't know him either. (Y/N) wanted to say. Instead, she cleared her throat once more. It was as if Alice's motto was: Aut viam inveniam aut faciam... (I shall either find a way or make one).
''That's not... Alice, listen to m-'' Alice stopped her before she could continue, waving her frantic hands away from her. (Y/N) buried her face into her gloved hands with a sigh. She really needed to get them out of the coffee shop before the thirst she felt became too much to tolerate.
''This is (Y/N). (Y/N), this is Jasper Whitlock.'' She was feeling proud of herself now.
'''Nored to meet'cheh, ma'am,'' said the man.
More to appease her concern about following principles than to be polite, (Y/N) removed her hands from obstructing her face to meet his eyes again. She felt her heart clench when her golden eyes met his blood-red ones once more. It was as if she ached to be closer to him. His eyes were the same colour as Alice's yet, they held something else, something more. A spark in her lower abdomen suddenly made her realize what was happening, and she lowered her gaze.
''The honour is mine, sir.'' She answered. ''I suggest we take this take in a more... private setting, do you mind, Alice?'' (Y/N) asked Alice in a colder tone.
The smaller vampire smiled in her direction, nodding. She wasn't taken aback by (Y/N)'s lack of politeness. Alice knew that the other girl didn't speak openly about their condition, so it was no surprise at all that she wasn't over the moon with their current predicament.
''You'll come with us; we have tons of things to talk about.'' Alice directed to Jasper.
The man smiled, and, looking at (Y/N), he nodded.
⁂
''But what do I have to do with anythin'?'' Jasper's drawled question was directed to Alice.
They'd managed to come back to the small apartment Alice and (Y/N) shared. He was standing in the middle of the living room as both girls shared the couch. Legs crossed, one elbow resting on the pillow on her knees, (Y/N) turned her head to stare at the pixie-like girl.
''Both of you have something to do with my future, I'm sure of it.'' Started Alice, her red gaze alternated from the blond man to her friend. ''I just don't see how just yet.''
(Y/N) raised a brow. She was tied to Alice's future? More like Alice had attached herself to her life on her very own first. She said nothing to discredit her friend's words though she wasn't agreeing nor understanding her words. Alice never really spoke about her visions with her. All (Y/N) could understand of it at the moment was that they showed flashes of images and were directly tied to someone's decision. However, she couldn't see both sides of the decisions of a vision happening to two people.
The three of them had stopped before coming to the apartment building to feed Alice and Jasper. (Y/N) had declined his invitation to take half the blood of his human. The other vampire girl had then told Jasper that (Y/N) was one of the few vegetarian vampires. Plus, they were already planning to leave in the following days. She would hunt then. After all, she wasn't that thirsty now that they'd left the coffee shop.
''Also,'' continued Alice, ''I couldn't not take care of the two of you.'' This time she looked at (Y/N). ''We would have met Jasper much sooner had we stayed with the Carrolls to meet their friends.''
The burning of disapproval the small vampire felt was burning down (Y/N)'s throat to her chest like lava as her words slowly started to make sense in the woman's head. She straightened her shoulder in a fast -too fast to be human- movement.
''He's Peter and Charlotte's friend Thade was talking about in his letters?''
Alice looked at her with a smirk. (Y/N)'s face darkened as a frown distorted her sculpture-like face. She could feel the pinch of proud satisfaction swelling in her. Jasper's frowning face lightened as hers contorted.
''Don't thank me for matching you up with your mate. I do that for fun!'' Teased Alice, getting up from the couch to leave both of them alone.
Silence met the closing sound of the door. Neither of the remaining vampires talked for a moment. (Y/N) was cursing herself. Mate? He was her mate, what next? Would Alice find them a family? This was utterly ridiculous. She didn't need a mate; she was doing fine on her own. Even if having someone for herself too would be nice, she did not need a matchmaker. So, what if she'd escaped their meeting the first time? Her mate. How could Alice know for sure? Her vision changed more often than she shopped.
''It's nice to meet'cheh, ma'am.'' Said Jasper after clearing his throat.
''(Y/N), please.'' She said bitterly. The man nodded, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. (Y/N) felt the tingling under the skin of the shoulder that brought amusement. Was he laughing at her?
The woman patted the free seat next to her, inviting the blond man to sit. He obliged, walking with his hands behind his back like a soldier, his back straight, a smile dancing on his mouth.
''Let's talk.'' Said the golden-eyed vampire in her habitual soft tone.
