That night Lonely stayed in my room. I got up slowly, so I wouldn't wake her up. I took a long shower thinking about everything that happened last night. Me and Jacob, over before it even started. Edward...lets not even think about the way Lonely's nanny straddled him.
Luckily when I got out of the shower, Lonely was still asleep. I put on a white sundress and sandals and then picked up Lonely. " I don't want to wake up."
" Come on Lonely, I'll make you some oatmeal." I said. She opened her eyes a little.
" Can I sleep while you make it?" She asked in a small voice. I smiled.
" Of course you can." I opened my door and Edward was sitting on the side of my door. He had a slight blush on his face. He was...embarrased. He should be.
" Bella..."
" Don't talk to me...Mr. Masen." He looked like a god sitting on the floor shirtless and with sex hair. Why oh why did he look so damn good?
" come on don't do that to me baby.-"
" I am not your baby. You will learn to speak to a woman Mr. Masen. Your first duty is to put your uniform on. Second, the Duke and Duchess will be here soon. We are having a meeting. Make sure the maid sets the table for breakfast. Did you get that?"
" Yes. Put on my uniform, set the table for the Duke and Duchess for breakfast. So did I get everything?" Damn he is good.
" Tell Alice and Jasper to meet me and the Duke and Duchess in the dining area. Then you can go to the garden and tell the gardeners to plant the pepper plants and harvest the tomatoes. Then go tell Lauren she's fired." His green eyes were raging. He could tell I was just trying to get him away.
" Anything else Princess Isabella?" He asked harshly, glowering at me.
" I'll call you when I'm done. Thank you, you are dismissed." Edward got up off the ground and stalked off in the other direction and I went to my private kitchen.
" Mommy, why are you unhappy?"
" I'm not unhappy. I'm always happy with you." I said kissing her forehead. She sighed before slipping back into her usual deep slumber. How I loved this girl. Renne passed me in the hallway.
" Isabella!" She said.
" Yes, Renee?"
" I'm in trouble. phil wants me to marry him and take Marybella with me."
" Shh. You'll wake up Lonely. First, let Phil know his place as your boy toy when dad isn't around. Second, Marybella is like my child and I will not let his grubby hands touch her."
" Okay, Okay."
" Stop stressing Renee, you'll grey early." My mom walked away, a little more confident. My private kitchen was always empty, except for one person, that one person always being me. Unless you count Lonely. I put down Lonely and made her a quick bowl of oatmeal.
" Come on Lonely. Your Auntie and Uncle are here." She woke up a little and walked to the dining area with me. They were already there, each dressed in our meeting color of white.
" Hi, Auntie Rose."
" Hi, Lonely."
" No Hi for me?" Emmett asked.
" Nope."
" IHY."
" So do I."
Lonely ate her oatmeal while we ate our breakfast and talked.
" So you caught my cousin doing what, exactly?" Alice said clutching on to Rosalies hand for dear life. Usual Alice dramatics. Check.
" I won't go into the dirty details because of the kid, but it was kind of like the replay of how Emmett and Rosalie met." I said. They all gasped.
" That was horrible. I'm so sorry, did you shield your eyes?" I nodded. Of course I did.
" I ran away. I'm mad though. I think I hurt his feelings. I... I didn't want to hurt his feeling. He was... is my best friend. My first real kiss."
" What?!"
" Yeah on the last night when I was with him he kissed me. I kind of kissed back, but it will never happen again."
" You bet your bippy it won't happen again. He's a man whore. A certified THF with bronze hair and green eyes." Alice began ranting on about THF's similarities with Edward.
" Cut the dramatics Alice. She said she doesn't like him and that will never happen again." Emmett said cutting off her rant.
" You give her way too much credit. I' ve seen what that crooked smile can do. He ruins people Bella."
" Oh what do you know?" Your fifteen years old Alice. You have to give Bella some credit. She was nine when that shit happened. Bella's sixteen now and a hell of a lot more responsible. I think we should credit her for not being so easily tricked by the player."
" Yes, I think we should. Now is there anything little Lonely would like to tell us?"
" I got a new doll. She looks like mama." Lonely whispered.
" Edward!" He came in quckly. Already dressed thank god.
" Yes?"
" Take Lonely to her room and turn the tv on..."
" E- network. I love the Kardashians." Lonely whispered. She would be the person to like them.
" Please do that and then go back to doing your work."
" I'm done with all my work."
" Call Charlie, tell him that I fired Lauren. Tell Renee I'm going to the beach for an honors club meeting and that I'm taking Marybella with me. You then are to go back to your quarters and stay there."
" No breakfast?" He asked astonished. I never punished Edward before I never thought I would have to.
" No." I said picking up Lonely. " You are dismissed." The day at the beach with the honors club, a group of honor students in the palace school, was long. I wasn't in it for two years. But now I was in.
When I got back Edward was standing outside of my door. He looked... worried. " I'm sorry Bella, but I never meant for you to see that."
" Never meant for me to see that? Edward you told me you wanteed to speak to me. How was I supposed to know what was going on in that room? I'm sorry Edward but you are not forgiven."
" Will you please stop giving me the cold shoulder?"
" I will treat you like a servant." I said opening the door to my room. Later that night, I decided to check on Lonely and Edward was outside my door again. Sleeping. I grabbed an extra blanket and laid it on him. I may have been mad, but I wasn't and never would be evil.
