Chapter 3

I still haven't waited for reviews to come in from my first two chapters but it's hard to wait! I'm just excited to see where this story will go. In the previous chapter Bella and Carlisle finally meet at the hospital. Hopefully Rose will warm up the Cullen family!

Bella's POV:

When I finally got to the cardiology department I tried to get to work, but all I could think about was Carlisle. I'm so confused. Could he be my mate? I really hope so. I'm going to end up jumping his bones. I've met other vampires before. I've met both female and male vampires before but I have never felt the pull to any other vampire like I do to Carlisle.

I didn't think my attention to my job could get any worse today. That was until I came out of Mrs. Nancy's room after checking her vitals. There was the blonde God. He was standing at the counter with his charts talking to Riley about the patients. I tried to ignore him but I could feel his eyes burning a hole in my back as I walked around cleaning up and gathering supplies. I couldn't help but to listen in.

"Trust me dude, there is no point in trying to go after her. She is an ice queen. I have tried and tried to bang her but she just blows me off. If you want a good lay, come to me and I'll introduce you to Tanya." I really can't believe Doctor Riley would say that, let alone say it to someone he just met.

"Well Doctor Riley, maybe she wants something more than a hump and dump. I believe I have everything I need right now. Thank you, you can leave now."

"Don't come running to me when she burns you." Riley slapped Carlisle on the back gathered his stuff and left through the back doors.

I turned to glare at his retreating form. He was such a pig. I went up to Carlisle and touched his arm. "Thank you." I gave him a smile. I wonder if he is feeling the electricity flowing from where we touched.

"Uh n-no problem." He hit me with that perfect smile and gathered his chart for his next patient. Halfway down the hall, he turned around. "Bella, would you like to meet me for lunch in the cafeteria?"

"I'm sure I can fit you into my schedule." Winking at him, I turned and walked away. As I turned the corner I ran into Rose. She didn't look too happy with me.

"Bella what the hell? We don't know these vampires! What if they work with the Voltri? What if they are some kind of serial vampire murders!? "Rose was glaring at me as she waited for me to respond.

"Stop being so dramatic Rose, they seem nice, and I highly doubt that serial vampire murders would be working at a hospital or be animal drinkers. I think he's the one Rose. I feel this pull towards him, I can't explain it. It's not like I'm going to go screw him during lunch."

Rose relaxed a little as I talked. "Just be safe Bella. I don't want you getting hurt by this guy. If he hurts you, I will tear him apart limb by limb!" Rose can be such a momma bear when it comes to me, but I love her for it.

Instead of saying anything else, I hugged her. "Love you Rosie."

"I love you too Bells."

After our little heart to heart I went back to work till lunch

Lunch

"Calm the fuck down Bella, it's just lunch, well I guess it's not lunch if both of us aren't eating. Maybe I should go get something and act like I'm eating because of all the humans. What the fuck am I thinking, he can't like me, and he's a fucking god…"

"Calm down Bella, I just thought we could talk." I have not been the example of a vampire lately. I'm getting fucking spooked because I'm not paying attention.

I spin around to see Carlisle smiling down at me. "Oh right sorry, um maybe that table over there?" I pointed to a secluded table in the far corner.

"Sounds good."

We both walked over and sat down across from each other. For the first couple of minutes all we did was look at each other.

I want nothing more for this man to want me like I want him. I want him to be my mate.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I finally found the courage to break the silence.

"Ourselves. You, me. Us." Us? Did he just say us? I just died and went to heaven, holy shit. I need to play it cool.

Don't make him think you're too into him. Come on think Bella! Rose taught you how to play hard to get.

Smirking at him I replied. "Oh really now? I didn't know there was an us."

Carlisle laughed as he spoke. "Well there could be an us, but let's get to know each other first. I mean I know we just met and everything and we don't even know each other but I feel this pull towards you that I've never felt before and I…"

After hearing that he felt the same pull that I have been feeling since we first saw each other I had all the courage I needed. I cut him off of his rambling by leaning over the table and giving him a quick peck.

Immediately after I gave him a peck, I regretted it. What the hell am I thinking? I can't just go around and kiss whoever. I already kissed him, I have to just play it off and leave. I need advice from Rose ASAP.

"Calm down Carlisle. I understand you; let's talk more after the meeting tonight. I have to get back to work."

Picking up my purse, I head back to work.

Getting in the car with Rose was a little scary. She was still worrying about my safety and my feelings. I just sat there in the passenger's seat as she left the hospital.

"Bella, you know I love you, your my sister and I don't know what I would do if you got hurt. I know you said not to worry but I can't help but not to worry. It seems like everything is moving too fast. Bella don't be upset with me, but I followed you to lunch and I saw you kiss him." As she was talking she turned to look at me.

I sighed. She is right, this is moving fast. Just yesterday I was complaining about being lonely and now I'm kissing a stranger that I want to jump. I just can't help it though. Every time Carlisle looks at me, I get hot; every time we touch I feel the jolt of electricity between us. I want more all the time.

"I love you Rose. This whole thing is moving fast but I can't help it. Ever since I spotted him, I just want more, but… ugh I don't know. You know I've never felt like this. I've been alone for the last 25 years, honestly Rose, I think he's the one." Talking to her felt good, I needed to get this out and get her advice. "We are supposed to talk tonight, I'm sure you heard today at lunch when he started talking about an 'us', I don't want to take it slow Rose."

"I'll always be there for you Bells." She then smirked. "I guess I don't have to give you the 'being safe talk' or have to worry about you getting pregnant. Thank god. I don't think I could handle another little Bella." We started laughing.

"Hey I am not that bad!" I smacked her in the arm.

When we pulled into the house we were surprised to see Emmett in his fireman outfit outside running up to the car. "Rosie! Bellsie! I missed you guys!" We both stepped out of the car to only be picked up into the air by Emmett.

"Em! I thought you had to work another shift!" I missed him so much. He is a goofball and he so much fun to be around.

"Seth took the shift because he needs more money for his upcoming wedding." Emmett set me down and took Rose fully into his arms and held her tight.

Rose kissed him on the lips. "Well little Miss Bella over here may have just found her mate. Apparently the two new doctors at our hospital are male vampires." As soon as the words left Rose's mouth Emmett looked over and started growling. Oh great.

"My Bellsie is not mating with some random male! Do you even know him? What if he hurts you! Oh I swear to god that if he hurts you, I'm going to tear him apart limb by limb and burn him. You need to quit your job, and I'll quit mine. I need to protect you." I wouldn't put it past Emmett to do just that.

"Emmett, honey calm down. I've already talked to her about it. I'm just as concerned for her as you. Let her do as she pleases. The vampires are coming over later this evening, and there is a plus side. They are animal eaters, you know how rare that is, but honey she really thinks he's the one. Emmett do you remember when we first saw each other after you were changed?" That was all it took for Emmett to forget about this situation. I knew it was time to get away, whenever they remember when they first meet, they will go upstairs for hours on end.

Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to wear tonight.

Review please! I always love feedback! Love it? Hate it? Anything I need to work on or change?

Thank you!
