Ever since the day of the gala, two months prior to now, Carlisle and y/n had become inseparable; seeing as he was in no rush to return to Italy and found solace in the girlโs presence.
Y/n was sat in her chamber with her companions, Lady grace Jones, Lady Joanna Wilson, Lady Friend and Lady Diana Lovelace.
โAh, you heathen, done pull my hair that hard !โ Shouted Diana to her friend; making the pain seem much worse than it actually was.
โSorry Di but itโs not my fault that youโre such a babyโ Grace replied; smirk on her face and placing the last pin in Dianaโs hair before placing herself next to y/n.
โYouโre awfully quietโ she said to her friend and receiving no reply.
โEarth to y/n !โ Joanna retrieved the hairbrush from the table, throwing it straight to y/nโs arm.
โOuch Jojo, that hurt, and Iโm perfectly consciousโ y/n replied, finally brought back to reality.
โLies ! Sheโs too busy thinking of Sir Blonde hair to care about usโ
In all honesty, it was true.
Her mind was too occupied with the blonde doctor whose cold touch gave her goosebumps.
Ever since the dance, he was all she could think about, and his constant visits didnโt help to defeat her โdelusionsโ.
Itโs not like they could be together.
He wasnโt that much older than her and was already familiar with her family.
He was a doctor and had a house in Italy, which was already a form of security.
โOh my, I think thatโs his steed out thereโ Grace gasped, pointing out the window as all the rest of the group crowded the window and spotted the recognisable white horse by the far golden gate.
Y/n was first to make her way straight for the door; her friends following behind and all running outside to greet the handsome doctor.
โLady y/l/n, please do not run so carelessly, your mother will have my headโ The maid Sarah said, additionally chasing the girls outside.
Carlisle couldnโt help but chuckle at the sight in front of him as one of the girls tripped over on her dress; getting straight back up and continuing to run.
His eyes landed on y/n, his agony coming to an end from the continuous torture of her face on his mind whenever he closed his eyes.
She looked ethereal this day.
Her natural hair was neatly tied into a bun behind her hat with a few loose pieces framing her face.
She wore a gorgeous pink dress that her brother bought her.
He remembers being there with him at the dress shop as he kept getting stares from the young women with their mothers.
โLadies, how do you fare ?โ Carlisle asked humbly as he got down from his horse.
โHello Dr. Cullen, we were just talking about y- ow!โ Diana started, being hit on the arm harshly before she could finish her sentence.
โDr. Cullen, please come in before you catch your death. We all know how unpredictable winter weather isโ Sarah said before making her way in as the rest followed her.
It was now lunchtime and y/nโs friends apart from Diana had already made their ways home.
โThatโs why you cannot go outside in the snow with damp hairโ Charles stated, trying to ignore his little sisterโs annoying friendโs idiotic remarks.
โYes but when you take it into deep consideration, thereโs a bigger chance of my brain freezing than me actually catching a coldโ Diana stated, genuinely believing herself.
โMother, this is stupidity, she clearly has no brain to be frozen if her beliefs were correctโ
Carlisle and y/n stifled a laugh avoiding eye contact, knowing if they looked at each other, theyโd burst out laughing.
โCharlie, apologise to our guest at this moment. I do not know where this disrespect came fromโ Loretta said, scolding her son.
Charles let out a large humph, crossing his arms like a toddler and slouching in his chair.
โSon, donโt be so childishโ Mathew said to Charles as he walked in; placing a kiss on his wifeโs cheek.
โMother !โ Charles whined causing Loretta to โcarelesslyโ look away and I gnore her sonโs whines.
Y/n had finally lost it; bursting into full laughter with Diana.
Diana nearly fell off of her chair making y/n snort loudly which only erupted more laughter from the two girls.
โDonโt worry Carlisle, the more time you spend around us, the more youโll get used to our bickering and loudnessโ Mathew stated; hand firmly on Carlisles shoulder.
Carlisle smiled widely as he watched y/n laugh.
It was like God had taken extra time to make her; she was literally shining.
โI do quite enjoy it sir. My father was never a man of laughter in the houseโ Carlisle sadly told the man of the house.
Carlisles father was an Anglican pastor who devotedly dedicated his life towards vampire hunting, teaching his son to follow his footsteps.
It was never something Carlisle was interested in growing up.
He only wanted to spend time with his father.
โCarlisle, itโs quite late, and we are comfortable with you, would you like to stay the nightโ Loretta asked as she squashed her cigarette on the ashtray in front of her.
Firstly, his eyes landed on Charles.
Charles looked happy, still upset from earlier but he looked excited for the โsleepoverโ.
Next, his eyes landed on Mathew.
Mathew had more of a proud look on his face, almost as if he was trying to insist that Carlisle spends the night there.
Following on, it was Diana.
Diana didnโt really care.
However she did smirk; her rosy cheeks rising as she briefly locked eyes with y/n.
As soon as they held eye contact, he couldnโt pull away.
Her face showed no emotion but her eyesโฆ
Her eyes spoke different words.
Somewhere in there he saw a glimpse of hope and desire which was the final push for him to agree.
โAlright maโam, Iโve decided to spend the night. Wouldnโt want any risk of my brain freezingโ Carlisle cheekily answered as he looked at young Diana.
โItโs settled then. Di, should you like to spend the night as well, you could sleep with Y/nโ
Dianaโs smile left her face as she realised she had a family and had to go home.
โMy apologies aunt Etta but my mother is expecting me at home tonight as my sisterโs wedding is next weekโ
โI bid you all farewell y/n, aunt Etta, Uncle Matt, Dr. Cullenโ Diana said with a bow of the head, getting up from her chair and being escorted to her carriage by Sarah.
โI canโt believe Catherine is already to be wed, I remember her as an infantโ Mathew told those around the table as he grabbed Lorettaโs hand in his.
Genevieve, Diana and Catherineโs mother had been friends with Loretta ever since adolescence and when they fell pregnant with their last borns at the same time, they made it their sole duty to get the two babies to grow up together.
โTalking about marriage, we finally found you a good suitor darling. His names is George and heโs an architectโ Loretta told her daughter.
Y/n tried not to shed a tear, so she looked down on her lap, smoothing down her dress and twiddling with her fingers to keep herself busy.
Loretta had her โsocial presentationโ slightly later than other girls; being her fatherโs favourite, he managed to pull a few strings.
But now too many years had passed and her mother was desperate to find her daughter a suitor as quick as possible.
Loretta wasnโt even that old.
She was now nineteen; 3 years older than when her social season had started.
Carlisle clenched his jaw at the sight of y/nโs somber and tried his hardest not to comfort her in front of everyone.
So he just sat there, listening to Loretta carry on about y/nโs potential suitor.
The morning had arrived and everybody except y/n was outside on the garden playing the dreadful game of pall mall under the cloudy sky.
Y/n was in her room struggling to tighten the lace at the back of her dress which only frustrated her even more each time.
She let out a loud groan before stomping to the chamber door and nearly bumping into the familiar tall chest.
โCarlisle, youโre an angel, please nah you assist me in fixing my dressโ she pleaded, grabbing his wrist and dragging him to her chamber in front of her mirror.
โGoodness me y/n, I come to wake you up and you try to kidnap me in returnโ he chuckled as his hands made their way to the lace.
As his hands gently looped through the first of the last 5 holes, y/n felt her breath hitch as his cold one was felt on her neck.
Carlisle stared longingly at her soft, tanned skin, desperate for one kiss.
If Carlisle was human, he would be red and sweaty at that moment.
Y/n looked his the mirror towards Carlisles face, already finding him looking at her but none of them broke eye contact.
His hands were agonisingly close to her lower back.
He provoked her, grazing his hands on her as they moved down each time .
Carlisle had finished, but instead of removing his hands, walking away and going back outside as he shouldโve, he put his hand to rest on y/nโs waist.
And none of them dared to move.
They stayed like that, gazing upon each other through the mirror and enjoying the comfortable silence that lingered in the air.
Y/n then turned around to face Carlisle, unaware of their close proximity.
โQuite the charmer Carlisleโ
Y/n shifted her eyes to his lips as he licked them nervously.
Carlisle slowly moved in as they both closed their eyes and their lips met.
Y/nโs hands found Carlisles face as his wrapped around her waist hungrily.
The girl travelled her kisses down Carlisles neck as her hands found his buttons.
โY/n waitโ Carlisle whined. He really wanted to continue.
Y/n pulled back; confusion writes all over her face.
She was a sight for sore eyes.
Her lips were puffy and red and her eyes hung low.
โWhatโs the matter Carlisle, do you not want me ?โ She asked, embarrassed of the she seduced him.
How could she be so stupid.
She embarrassed herself. But little did she know, Carlisle had the same intentions as she did.
โNo love, it is not that. Of course I want you. But itโs just that. I-i might justโฆ hurt youโ Carlisle struggled to get out as he rested a soft pack on her pouty lips.
She opened her mouth about to speak as he interrupted her.
โI think itโs best we go down now before they suspect anythingโ
She nearly forgot she had a family.
She was too focused on the handsome doctor in front of her to pay attention.
โAnd score !โ Loretta yelled victoriously as she jumped in the air.
โIt is now getting late Mr. Y/l/n. I thank you for your hospitality but I must make my way to the lodge nowโ Carlisle told y/nโs father; shaking his hand thoroughly as Vincent, the young stable boy brought Carlisleโs steed out.
โMany thanks to your whole familyโ he ended as Charles walked Carlisle to the horse.
โYou look riled up brotherโ Charles brought his friendโs odd stiff demeanour to Carlisles attention.
โJust a mental phantom Charlie, nothing seriousโ
Carlisle wanted to avoid anyone finding out about what happened with y/n earlier.
Especially her older brother who just happened to be Carlisles best friend.
โA curly haired mental phantom who happens to be little sister perhaps. Farewell Brotherโ Charlie chuckled; hand patting Carlisles chest encouragingly as he then walked off.
