I do not own Twilight. This is Fan Fiction only. Carlisle/Bella (no Esme)

OPENING TEASER

Back Track:

Bella is 25 years old in her 3rd year of college. She has just met the Cullen's a few weeks ago. She already felt like they were her family. Alice already had her shopping sprees and sleep overs with Bella. The whole family loved her. Alice knew Bella was Carlisle's mate, but was going to enjoy not telling so she could watch them get together on their own.

It had been a nice quiet evening as Carlisle sat in silence in his study, leaning back in his chair reading a new book he had just bought from Barnes and Noble. His cell rang so he reached lazily grabbing it from off the top of the desk. "Carlisle" a soft voice whispered over the cell phone, music was blaring in the background. "Carlisle, has anyone got back yet from ya know…?" voice a little distressed.

Everyone had gone hunting tonight for a little while. Alice and Rosalie didn't really like Jessica enough to want to go to her birthday party at Club 21 right outside of town. Sitting at his desk in his office, Carlisle's forehead wrinkled at the sound "Bella? It's just me right now. They won't be back until in the morning. What's going on?"

"I know it's getting late. I tried calling the others but I got no answer. Are you busy?" she whispered out again over the bumping music and the sound of a toilet flushing in the background of the bathroom.

"No" checking his Rolex watch seeing it was 10pm. "It's not that late Bella. Are you in the bathroom?" sliding out of his thick black leather office chair listening to the background noise of another toilet flush.

"Sort of." Taking a breath, "Angela picked me up to come to Jessica's birthday party since Alice and Rosalie didn't want to come. I didn't want to come either, but Jessica really wanted me too." Now exiting the ladies restroom, making her way through the crowd of people spotting Jessica dancing wildly with Eric and Angela in the middle of the club, she wasn't going out there at all. Making her way toward her table, noticing no else was sitting there.

"I remember hearing them talk about it" walking out of the office heading down towards the darken living room.

Whispering louder over the music "Could you please come get me? I'm at Club 21."

"BELLA!" a guy voice rang out loudly. "You went missing. I was looking for you." Holding two drinks and extending one out to her.

Moving her mouth from the phone "Oh I bet you were. You know how girls like hiding out in the bathrooms" speaking sarcastically at him, still holding the phone to her ear. Ignoring the drink she made a motion to Mike she was talking on the phone but instead of him walking off or giving her some space, he just stood right in front of her staring with a huge smile.

She turned around rolling her eyes to speak privately looking out to the dance floor speaking into the phone in a whisper knowing Carlisle wouldn't have a problem hearing with his vampire hearing "hurry please."

Carlisle had a feeling some thing was up, "Bella. I'm on my way. Stay on the phone with me."

She took a deep breath "How long will it take?"

He had already got in his blacked out Mercedes driving fast "10 minutes."

"Okay." Glancing behind her still seeing Mike standing there waiting, "I think I should head to the dance floor. Call me when you get here. I'll have my cell phone in my pocket on vibrate. I'll feel it ring when you call, then I'll come out."

He sighed, "okay. Don't leave that building until I get there."

"I'm not. I promise." She hung up slipping the phone into her left jean pocket as her body turned back to Mike. "I'm going to dance with the girls." Quickly she left heading through the crowd to where Angela and Jessica were dancing to a new dance beat.

The song went off and a slow one began. The club only played a few slow songs here and there. Mostly it stayed on upbeat dance music. Bella felt her stomach hit rock bottom. She just knew Mike was going to hit up to dance before she could get off the dance floor.

Just as she tried to move her way from the middle of the dance floor to find her table, her arm was caught, swirling her around to be pressed against a hard body. Bella gasped in horror of who it could have been.

"Would you like to dance first?" a soft velvet voice whispered in her ear.

Bella's wide eyes went back to normal and she giggled slightly nudging his chest with her fist pulling back to look in his golden eyes "you scared the shit out of me Carlisle. I thought you were going to call."

"I thought maybe I should check out what's going on first. Is there some thing I should take care of?" pulling her tightly against his body, moving her with the music.

"I saw" her eyes moving from his checking out his white dress shirt that had 3 open buttons with no under shirt, black slacks and black leather jacket. He looked really hot. Especially seeing the pale skin of his chizzled chest. She lost her train of thought.

Carlisle noticed he was mesmerizing her "you saw what?"

Clearing her throat knowing she was just caught gawking at him she tried to continue "Ummm." Bella felt his chest rise. Her arms slid up around his neck, pulling herself closer to him, her lips to his ear "Carlisle..." Bella felt electricity run throughout her body when her lips touched his soft pale ear speaking his name. Her mind went blank as to what she was going to tell him.

His body responded to her closeness. Arm wrapped her tighter to him. "Talk to me Bella

Touching her lips back to his ear so no one could read her lips she spoke, "Mike put some thing in my drink before I could take a sip. So I just pushed it aside. I didn't want to spoil Jessica's birthday so I got up to go the bathroom. Then I called you to come get me."

Carlisle frowned at the thought of some one trying to hurt his Bella. Golden eyes scanned the crowd to find Mike standing not too far away watching. He took a deep breath. What would he do now? His mind began racing between taking care of Mike and just coming on out telling Bella he can't hide the fact that he has been in love with her since they met.
