Chapter 20 The Date
Carrie POV
I awoke the next morning around eight thirty according to my clock. I uncurled and started to stretch out to get ready for the day. As I was stretching my hand brushed against something foreign, something that was not there last night.
I turned my head to see what it was and there lying on my pillow was a red rose with a red ribbon tied to the stem. The thorns had been cut off so I couldn't cut myself upon them. Underneath the rose was a small envelope that had my name written on it in a familiar elegant script. I picked it up and pulled out a small card that was inside it. The card read:
'I considered giving you a rose for every time I thought about you but I don't think there would be enough roses in the world for that. So I give you this single rose which reminds me of the sunrise; the sunrise which reminded me of you for you have been a ray of sunshine in my life.
P.S. head down to the dining room for another surprise.'
After I read the card I began to wonder how long I had been asleep. Is it Valentine's Day or something? I got out of my bed and headed to the door and I pulled it the rest of the way open, the rose and card held in my left hand.
I hear music playing which isn't uncommon in this house. I do notice however that it seems a little quieter in here than usual. Normally I would hear Emmett playing video games or the TV on or something.
As I slowly walked along in confusion I felt myself step on something soft and velvety. I look down and I see rose petals on the floor. I looked to where I was walking to and from and noticed that the rose petals made a path from my bedroom door. They were so numerous I wondered how I missed stepping on, or noticing, them before now.
I followed the path of rose petals all the way to the dining room. On the table were a couple of lit candles, since the only other light in the room came from the window, and a small vase that held another rose like the one in my hand. This rose was also red and had a red ribbon tied into a bow on the stem. I walked forward and placed the rose in my hand into the vase with the other one.
There was a silver plate cover in my place at the table and I hesitantly picked it up. Underneath it was another note. I placed the cover to the side and picked up the note. I unfolded it and read what it said.
'This rose is to let you know that I am again thinking about you. To see your next surprise; just turn around.'
I was a bit reluctant to do so for because what good has come from someone telling you to turn around. I turned my head to the left to look over my shoulder. I didn't see anything so I turned completely around. However, as I turned around I saw Edward begin to walk toward me.
He was wearing vintage jeans with a white dress shirt that wasn't tucked in and a tie loose around his neck. It was a different look for him since usually he looks so clean cut. In his hands was a tray that had a plate and some glasses on it. "Well it's about time that you got up Sleeping Beauty," he said with a smile.
"Where are the others," I asked as he came to stand beside me and placed the tray down.
"They are out at the moment, but they will be back later tonight. It's just you and me right now," he said as he placed the things in my spot at the table. On the plate were small heart shaped pancakes that were arranged so that they formed a larger heart. There was whipped cream along the edge of the heart as a decorative border and in the middle E & C was written.
"I'm beginning to wonder if it's Valentine's Day or something," I said.
"It's not Valentine's Day but today is our date, which is why I am doing this. After work today I'm going to take you somewhere special," he said with that crooked grin of his. I could tell that he was nervous and unsure of how I would react so I have him a smile of assurance along with a small kiss on the cheek before I sat down in my chair which he had pulled out for me.
He watched as I ate my breakfast, occasionally offering me bites, during which we had light conversation. All the while he had a hold on my left hand with his thumb rubbing small circles across my knuckles and places a few kiss on the back of my hand every once in a while. After I finished eating my fill of what he prepared he took the dirty dishes into the kitchen. When he came back he took my hand and led me to the living room where we danced to the music for a while. All too soon I had to get ready for work and leave his embrace.
I went up to my room, took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, changed and put my hair up. Edward drove me to work and before I got out he gave me a kiss that I wish didn't have to end. I reluctantly pulled away and entered the café.
Business was slow today, most likely because it was a Sunday. Some people stopped in after church. Some people came for the poetry corner that was held. Some people came in to have coffee and talk with other people. All in all a very slow day and since it was mainly an older crowd than usual I didn't have to clean up many messes, just clean tables and collect dirty dishes.
At three o'clock I heard Megan call for me. "Hey Carrie, there is someone here with a delivery for you." I walked to the front table and there was a guy holding a small vase of roses. I signed for them and he gave them to me.
I sat the vase on the table so I could read the card. 'Just letting you know that I'm still thinking about you; one for every hour that you have been gone and one for me thinking of you now. Edward.'
I smiled and put the card back. Of course the other women that I worked with gushed at the flowers and wanted to know what the card said, stuff like that. Megan said that it was okay for me to leave the flowers where they were. The rest of the day went the same as usual. I also found out that on Sunday nights was speed dating, so some singles were starting to come in around the time for me to get off.
There was this one guy with blond hair and blues eyes that kept watching me. It was more like leering really and it was more than a bit creepy. I felt his eyes on me where ever I went. I was cleaning the last few tables when he came up to me. He was around 5'7" and lean from what I could tell and was around 25 years of age. "Hi, my name is Phil. What's yours beautiful," he asked in a cocky way with I guess what was his 'winning smile' on his face.
"Carrie," I replied unsure. I still wasn't very use to being hit on by men and when I was it made me uncomfortable. There was something about him as well that caused a chill to run down my spine, and not the good kind either for it felt like my hair was standing on end. I just had a feeling that I should stay away from him.
"How about you be my date for the night; we could go see a movie or something," he asked with all the confidence of a playboy as he leaned closer to me and placed his hand on the table next to us. This was another thing that made me more wary about him. I felt like he was trying to corner me or something.
"Sorry but…" I began nervously while I tried to look anywhere but him. There is just something about this guy that made me want to run as fast as I could in the opposite direction of him.
"…she already has plans for the evening," Edward said in a hard way as he came up beside me and wrapped his arm around me and I immediately relaxed in his arms. His timing couldn't have been more perfect even if it was planned. Edward always seemed to know just when I needed him; probably due to his gift.
"Ah Eddie this is Phil. Phil this is my boyfriend Edward," I introduced them. Phil looked Edward as if sizing him up and after a few seconds he seemed to pale before he turned around and went back to his table. Talk about a tail between the legs retreat.
"Are you ready to go," Edward asked me while keeping an eye on Phil.
"Just let me sign out and get my things. Thank you for the roses by the way, they were lovely," I said then I placed a kiss on his cheek before I turned and left.
I came out with my things and picked up my roses. Edward was waiting outside the door and he walked me to his Volvo. He opened to door for me to get in then he got in and we headed back to the house.
"I didn't like that guy," Edward said clearly that mans thoughts were less then innocent toward me.
"Neither did I, he gave me the creeps," I replied with a slight shudder. Again I was thankful that Edward was there for me.
"So I'm your boyfriend now," he asked me trying to appear nonchalant about it.
"Well you are taking me on a date and that usually implies that we are involved so I say yes you are my boyfriend," I replied giving him a smile. He grabbed my hand and placed a kiss on the back of it. He did not agree nor did he disagree, so did that mean he was ok with me calling him that? I am really not good at this dating thing.
When we got back to the house I went up to my room to change while Edward waited for me in the living room. I changed in to a black pair of jeans, a white tank top under a white blouse with a green v-neck sweater on top of that. I brushed out my hair and pulled the top half back into a braid. I applied some pink lip gloss and some light green eye shadow.I met up with Edward and we headed back to his car which was outside the front door. Before I got in the car however he took a red ribbon and tied it over my eyes. I was nervous about his actions but assured me that everything would fine. He helped me into the car and we left to where ever he was taking me to.
I wasn't sure how long we drove for, but I eventually felt the car come to a stop. I heard Edward get something out of the trunk of the car then he was helping me get out of the car.
He pulled me onto his back and gave me something to hold on to. After I grabbed hold of what felt like a handle of some sort I felt him grab hold of my legs and I felt the wind rush through my hair. Again I was insure of how long we traveled, it felt like it took some time yet none at all at the same time. I did notice though that the wind seemed to get a little stronger and the air felt heavy with moisture.
After the ride Edward took whatever I was holding out of my hands and set me down. He told me not to move from where I was standing then I heard him move something around and mumble something quietly. I felt him come around behind me soon after the quiet noises stopped.
"Ready," he whispered in my ear. I nodded yes. I felt him tug the ribbon free and I blinked my eyes to adjust my vision. We were up high on a cliff that over looked the ocean. There was a short wall around us that appeared to be freshly made from rocks and tree branches that blocked the wind from battering our forms. The wall had flowers placed on it like decoration. The wall itself surrounded a red and white checkered picnic blanket and in the center of the blanket was a small basket. "Do you like it," Edward asked as he wrapped his arms around me.
"It's beautiful," I responded breathily while leaning back against him. He let go of me and walked toward the basket. He opened up one end, reached in and pulled out another bouquet of roses. These brought the total up to a dozen roses. I took the roses from him and sampled their sweet fragrance.
Edward motioned for me to sit down, which I did, and he sat down next to me. "For your dining pleasure milady I have sparkling water," he said as he pulled a bottle of water out. "I also have an assortment of fruit such as grapes, melons, and strawberries," he continued, bringing out said items. "And to add some sweetness I have cream," he said as he pulled out a small tub of cool whip.
"And just in case I brought these too," he said as he brought out a camera and my sketch book with colored pencils. He was so thoughtful, bringing something that I might want, which he was right about. I wanted to someway have this ingrained forever in my memory so I could never forget it.
"Wow I think that you thought of everything except music," I said astonished at the thought that he put into this. In the back of my mind I was thinking that he didn't have to do this, he didn't have to try and impress me or anything. I am happy with the way that he is. Of course he could be doing all of this so he could be more comfortable since he was born in another time.
"Are you sure about that," he asked as he brought out an iPod and speakers and set them on top of the closed basket. He set the iPod to play random songs then sat close to me with his arm around me.
He grabbed the bowl that had the grapes and held them in front of me. I grabbed a small branch of grapes and held them in my left hand. I slowly plucked one grape off at a time and popped them into my mouth.
As I finished eating the grapes I heard one of my favorite songs start to play. I placed the bare stem down and I stood up. Edward looked at me funny as I held my hand down to him.
What stations are the buttons on your radio on
Do you sleep late Saturdays or get up at dawn?
"I love this song and I want to dance to it," I said shaking my hand at him again to tell him to take it.
Do you prefer fiddles or violins
and have you given any thoughts to how a lifetime of love begins
Edward got up, wrapped his right arm around me and held my right hand with a mumbled, "Isn't it the guy that is supposed to ask the girl to dance?" Then we began to move to the music (I want to know (everything there is about you) by Mark Wills.)
I want to know everything there is to know
About what turns you on what you like and what you don't
Tell me all your secrets, all your hopes and wishes too
I want to be everything you ever want
So I'm gonna need something to go on
I mean to make your every dream come true
So I want to know everything there is to know about you
A smile spread across my face as the chorus came across. One started to appear on
Edward's as well as he watched me. This song was spot on. I felt just like this, I wanted to everything there is to know about Edward. The good, the bad, and the ugly, I wanted to know it all. I wanted to know how he ticked. How someone as perfect as him could want someone as marred and imperfect as me. (I didn't know that Edward's thoughts were very similar to my own.)
Do you like walking underneath the moonlight
Is there some kind of magic that'll make the moon right
How many kisses, how many stars
I'm determined to keep trying 'til I find the way to your heart
When the next verse came across again I sang along. Closing my eyes and leaning my head against his chest I allowed the song to consume me as I sang it to him. I pulled away and stared deep into his smoldering gaze as I tried to put everything I felt into the chorus.
I want to know everything there is to know
About what turns you on what you like and what you don't
Tell me all your secrets, all your hopes and wishes too
I want to be everything you ever want
So I'm gonna need something to go on
I mean to make your every dream come true
So I want to know everything there is to know about you
Edward's smile got larger as I sang along. Seeing his smile I was practically grinning as I continued to sing along with the song. He was so beautiful when he smiled. Heck he is even beautiful when he broods.
The serious stuff and the light-hearted
I look in your eyes and I'm just getting started
I want to know everything there is to know
About what turns you on what you like and what you don't
Tell me all your secrets, all your hopes and wishes too
I want to be everything you ever want
So I'm gonna need something to go on
I mean to make your every dream come true
So I want to know everything there is to know about you
Well, I want to know everything there is to know about you
When we finished I gave Edward a kiss and thanked him for the dance. We sat back down and he handed me the melon bowl next. I grabbed a slice of cantaloupe and cuddled into his side. I have never had a first date before, but I could not image one better than this.
"Are you enjoying yourself," Edward asked his eyes shining as he watched me enjoy his efforts.
"Yeah but it might be more fun if you could eat something," I said. As soon as I spoke he grabbed a small strawberry. I stopped him before he could put it in his mouth. I took it from him and I leaned across his lap to dip the strawberry into the cream.
I turned so that I was facing him right in front of his lap and I held the strawberry up to his mouth. He pulled me into his lap so that I ended up straddling his lap with my legs on either side of his hips, practically around his waist. His hands were on my waist holding me close to him.
I could tell I was blushing real bad but I held the morsel up for him to eat anyways. He grabbed it with his teeth and his tongue brushed against my fingers. I watched him as he slowly chewed them swallowed. I looked up into his eyes then to find him staring at me intently.
He leaned closer to me, our noses within an inch of the others'. Not that we weren't close enough already, and I leaned back a bit. He looked away and I did too; I could feel my entire face burning. He leaned back and brought me closer to him. He then held up a strawberry covered in cream up to my lips.
I looked from it to him and I got trapped in his gaze. I felt the cool cream against my bottom lip and I shyly opened my mouth, still lost in his eyes. He moved a bit closer so that our faces were inches from each other as I took a bite.
As I took a bite felt some juice ran down my chin; his eyes were drawn to it. He took his finger and stopped it before it could travel down my neck. He moved his finger to his mouth and licked off the juice while staring me in the eye.
He held the strawberry up for me to take another bite. I took another bite and another trail of juice followed the previous path. I could feel a blush spread across my face at the look he was giving me and of my messy eating. He then slowly moved closer and bent his head down to my neck. I then felt his tongue run up the path that was left by the juice.
His tongue ran up tantalizing slow. It felt as though someone was dragging an ice cube across my skin yet a trail of fire was left in its wake. When he reached my lips he pulled away slightly. He was just far enough away to offer me the last bite of the strawberry. He popped the last bite in my mouth and watched as I ate it.
I felt some whipped cream at the corner of my mouth and I darted my tongue out to get it. Apparently Edward had the same idea because our tongues ran against each other. I couldn't prevent the shiver that traveled down my spine as my eyes slid close in pleasure at the sensation.
We leaned away from each other but we slowly came back together like magnets in a kiss. It started off soft but it soon began to build up. I felt myself being lowered on to my back with Edward over top of me.
I felt his hand bury in my hair as the kiss became a little deeper. I slowly brought mine up to run through his hair. I couldn't prevent the small moan that escaped my lips. Edward pulled away slightly and I could feel his lips slightly brush against mine for it left my lips tingling since they were so sensitive.
He leaned back then started his assault of my lips again. The fruit was forgotten. The only thing that I needed then was him. He was doing things to me that I have never felt before. Making me tingle in places I didn't think I could.
He slowly pulled away and waited for me to catch my breath. "You have no idea how much I want you right now," he said his voice deeper and a bit husky. He lowered his head and I could feel his lips move softly down the column of my neck. I stiffened slightly at his words and at what felt like his teeth gently drag across my skin. I found myself wondering if he was going to bite me. I didn't want him to, at least not yet. For him to change me as I am now, as in not on my death bed, made me feel as if there was something inferior about me that he was going to correct by changing me.
"Want as in what, sex," I asked he simply nodded as he continued to inhale my scent while occasionally placing soft kisses along my throat. "Do you love me?"
"Yes, more than I have ever thought possible; I want you to stay next to me so that I can always protect you, so I can always make sure you are happy. I want to always hold you in my arms," he replied after brought his head up and looked deeply into my eyes. I felt his hand cupping my cheek and hid thumb stroking the area under my eye. "Do you love me?"
I thought it over and I remembered that night I spent with Alice when we were camping. I thought over that night and other times that I have spent with him and I decided what I was going to do. I looked up and noticed that Edward was looking at me with a slightly worried expression, taking my silence as rejection.
I reached up and pulled him into a kiss, which he immediately responded to. I pulled away and asked, "Does that answer your question," with a soft smile on my face. His response was a bright smile and a soul searing kiss.
The kiss got more demanding but I stopped him before it went too far. "Wait Edward, we can't do this." He pulled back with a questioning look. I noticed that his eyes were a pitch black in color compared to the usual golden brown.
"Why not," he asked. I let out a sigh. His hunger must be affecting his judgment. (The question is what sort of hunger is it.)
"Well for one we are outside 'not that that bothers me much'. Two this is only the first date," I said with a small laugh. "Three I don't think I'm ready. I haven't done this before and I'm only seventeen. I'm still in school and," I paused.
"And," he questioned wanting to hear what I have to say.
"Well I'm more traditional, old fashioned if you will. I believe that that should only happen between a husband and wife. I don't want to pressure you into anything. Besides you probably want to find a nice woman vampire and settle down with her, maybe start your own clan."
"But I want you," he insisted.
"I'm only human Edward. I don't want you to feel as though you have to be careful around me. I don't like being treated like I'm delicate. I've lived too harsh a life to be treated like that. How long will I be around for? I'll be happy with whatever time I have been given to be with you, but what happens if I leave? What happens if I die before you can save me? What if something prevents us from being together," I asked. I didn't want to bring it up because I hate thinking about it, but it has to be said. Before we go any farther in our relationship there are things that must be considered.
"I'll find you," he said. "I'll find a way to find you and bring you back to me. Even if I have to wait for your soul to come back reincarnated, I'll find you, just don't doubt me,"
"I don't," I replied but I don't think he understands that even if he did find my reincarnated soul it would not be me. A soul sustains the body, but it is experiences that make you who you are. He swooped down and kissed me as if he was putting everything he felt into it. I responded with the same intensity.
I wasn't sure how long we continued our actions but I didn't want it to end. I wanted to continue where we left off, go farther, do more, but I couldn't, not yet. I felt so loved and cherished, something that I always secretly wished to feel my whole life. He occasionally pulled away and trailed kisses across my jaw and down my neck, but he reclaimed my lips soon after.
He pulled away. "That reminds me," he said. He got off of me and started to dig around in the basket. I sat up and straightened myself out and zipped my coat back up. After a few minutes of searching he pulled something out with a triumphant ah ha.
He came back over and sat next to me. He handed me a small rectangular box that had a small bow on it. I took it from him giving both a curious look. "Open it," he said.
I turned to the box held in my left hand and grabbed the lid with my right. I then slowly lifted the lid back. I almost dropped it in surprise but I just settled for a gasp.
There in the box was gold necklace, but what drew my attention was what was hanging from the chain. The pendant or charm, whatever you want to call it, that was gold like the chain. It was made to resemble dolphins. They were facing each other with the tips of their noses touching as well as their tails. They had small diamonds for the eyes. Held by their fins between them in the center was a blue topaz gem in the shape of a heart. Even in the overcast it seemed to dazzle and shine.
"Do you like it," Edward asked as he pulled me to his side.
"I love it, it's so beautiful, and the dolphins. Oh Eddie I love it," I said as I turned to give him a kiss. He pulled away and took the box from me. He took the necklace out and moved so that he was behind me. I watched as the necklace came down in front of me and felt it tighten around my neck and hair. I felt him grasp my hair and pull it free from the necklace.
I reached for the pendant which hung a couple of inches below my collar bone. I felt Edward's arms wrap around me as he pulled me back into his lap. I leaned into his chest and enjoyed the view.
I grabbed my sketch book and began to draw the view and I took a couple of pictures. I tried to take a picture of us together, but with the disposable camera I'm not sure how it came out. As I was sketching Edward would feed me some fruit. He even took one of the roses and some other flowers that had blown free and tucked them into my hair at the beginning of the braid.
All too soon it was time to go for it was a little after seven. We packed up and Edward again put me on his back with me holding the basket. I could see why he had the blind fold on me as we came up because the first step was to jump off the cliff on to the path below. I let out a small cheer as we 'fell'.
When we got back to the house Alice immediately bombarded me with questions about the date. I told her that I really enjoyed it and was looking forward to the next one. I saw Edward freeze at that and I let out a small laugh and told him that he didn't have to worry about it.
I headed to my room and took a shower. I took my necklace off before hand and put it back on immediately afterwards. After that I headed to the dining room for dinner where Emmett noticed my necklace and asked about it. I told them that Edward gave it to me and Emmett clapped him on the back while picking fun.
After that I hung out with the family in the living room until about nine thirty or so when I decided that I should leave if I'm ever going to get going. They started pouting and said that I didn't have to leave that I could stay with them. I joked that if I stayed they would soon be begging to get rid of me, especially if Emmett and I began one of our wars again.
It was with a heavy heart that I left the Cullen home to return to my dreary den. Edward decided to walk with me to make sure that I arrived safely. It was a long quiet walk and Edward was holding my hand. I noticed that it was beginning to get colder so I made a mental note to start stock piling wood. The Cullen's said that they would provide the food.
We eventually arrived at my address and he walked with me back to my den. Luckily no one was home yet. Edward went into the den first to check it out. He came back with an all clear. I crawled into my den and headed over to my bed. The fire had already been started so I didn't have to worry about that.
I noticed some changes had been made while I was gone. The den looked more like an
underground room. Wood had been wedged up to form walls and ceiling and the entrance was bigger. There were a couple of bed rolls and sleeping bags for my bed. It seemed to be bigger too. Edward came in and sat down next to me.
"You don't have to stay here," I said knowing that I cannot offer more comfortable accommodations.
Edward replied with a, "I want to and I'm going to." I shrugged and crawled into the blankets. I felt Edward lay down behind me and wrap his arm around me. We exchanged good nights and I love you's before I started to drift off to sleep.
Before I fell asleep though I started to softly sing/mumble the song that we danced to; I heard Edward let out a small laugh and I did too. He tightened his grip on me and told me to get to sleep. I snuggled deeper into him and the blankets before I drifted off to sleep with a smile of pure happiness and content on my face.
