Between the Evergreens (Part One)

The morning

It had by no means been Sheridan intentions to spend the night at the house, especially without any of her friends at home, but here she was waking up in the couch with Carlisle sitting on the other end.

     "Goodmorning"

     "Morning. What time is it?" He voice was more hoarse then usual and her eyes were only partially open.

     "It's only 9:30, you can go back to sleep." Carlisle had changed already, he wore a collared polo shirt under a 3/4 zip up and a pair of casual jeans.

     "No no, I'm already awake." A large yawn came from between Sheridan's lips as she slumped back down on the couch. Her stomach grumbled quietly and she contemplated whether is was worth getting up and eating or staying put.

     "I would have made breakfast but I figured we could go out and eat instead, if you are up to it."

     Did he just say he wants to get breakfast... with me... he wants to go somewhere with just me. Oh my gosh I might just die on this couch.

     "Of course, let me go see if I left any sweaters here or maybe a tooth brush." Sheridan stood up and made her way up the stairs. He shorts had ridden up exposing the bottom curve of her round bum and that's all Carlisle could stare at.

One day she won't be wearing clothes around the house.

He stood up quickly in hopes of repressing those dirty fantasies. He followed Sheridan up but walked into his room instead. He took a spare toothbrush from his bathroom and a university of North Carolina Hoodie from his closet, the kids had all brought home shirts, jackets and hoodies from the universities they had decided to attend and he now had a collection from quiet a few different states even one from Quebec where Alice was studying interior design. Sheridan was looking through all of Roses drawers for a hoodie or even a zip up that would fit but of course Rose didn't own a hoodie or a zip up, she had a beautiful collection of jackets and fashionable cardigans but nothing would go with the baby pink shorts and yellow t shirt she was wearing. Carlisle stood in the door way watching her for a few seconds before he spoke up.

"I figured you might need some help" he placed each item on the bed and walked back down stairs. Sheridan quickly brushed her teeth before walking back to grab the hoodie, it looked quiet big but if she rolled the sleeves and tucked the bottom in she could make it work. As she pulled it over her head the smell of mint and evergreens took over, she quickly realized this was Carlisle's hoodie and he had given it to her. Of course it could have been a friendly gesture cause she was taking quiet some time looking for clothes, but she wanted to believe it was because he wanted her to wear it. Without her actually knowing she had believed what was true. Carlisle wanted her to walk down the stair case in his clothes, it was something he felt that was right, she shouldn't be wearing anything else but his clothes. A bright white smile spread across his face when he say her coming around the corner, the large sweater was tucked in enough so you could see her shorts and the sleeves rolled so the tips of her fingers poked out, absolutely adorable.

"Okay I am ready, sorry for taking such a long time." Her adidas slides were waiting in front of the door along with her car keys. "I can drive us." She hates driving fast and since every one of the Cullen kids did it in their fancy cars she suspected Carlisle did as well.

"I'll drive, which car do you want to take?" He held up the car keys for the new Range Rover or his Mercedes and she couldn't decide. Both were parked outside in the front and as she looked over them she decided.

"Can we take the Range Rover." He nodded and clicked the command start while he slipped on his shoes. Both made there way out and he opened the a door for Sheridan. The car ride was quiet, soft classical music played in the back ground and the pair enjoy each others company. Carlisle pulled up to a small hidden cafe on the other side of town that Sheridan had no clue even existed.
