A/N: Well, it wasn't really a long wait was it? :P

Of course, I'm always open to suggestions. By the way, these were supposed to be two chapters but they were both short so I smashed then together. (:

Anyway, here is chapter 10. :D

SM own twilight. I own Master Cullen.

Enjoy ;)

Yesterday was absolutely blissful. Bella was beautiful and I couldn't believe how lucky I am. I still can't. I loved everything about her. The way she blushed whenever I caught her looking at me or when I gave her a compliment. The way she smiled at the smallest thing. How selfless she was. I can't believe she agreed to let me take her with me to my favorite place. If I had to take someone there, it would be Bella.

'Edward, son,' my uncle said from the door way of my office.

'I'm not your son.' I muttered under my breath. 'Yes Uncle?' I said louder.

'How was your night yesterday?'

'Excellent.' He eyes me suspiciously so I added, 'Very productive.'

'Good to know.'

'How was your trip?'

'Oh, quite good. Though Tanya was disappointed you weren't with me.'

'Oh, was she?' I pretended, 'It's a shame I missed her.'

'Yes, rather.' He said and with that he left me.

My thoughts drifted back to Bella.

I hummed as I polished an antique lamp. I was still on cloud nine after yesterday. It was perfect, the least to say. I wondered what Edward was doing right now. Probably some business work.

As I went back to my room for my break I noticed the white carnation on my bed. I smiled and smelled it. I still need to ask him why he chose this particular flower. I sighed contentedly, and made my way outside to Rosalie's cottage.

'Hey Rose!' I said cheerfully going in. She was fumbling through her drawer. 'Need any help?'

'No it's fine.' She smiled and closed the drawer. 'Shall we eat?'

'Certainly.' I grinned. We sat down on her mattress and dug into our food. I always eat here with Rosalie ever since we became friends. She was always nice company.

'Now, tell me everything about yesterday.' She said with sparks in her eyes.

I sighed knowing I'll never win this fight if I argues and began telling her the whole story. She squealed when I got to the part about him telling me he'll take me to his favorite place.

'Oh my goodness, he is so sweet!'

'I know. I don't know what I did to deserve him. But it's nothing. I mean, I don't think he likes me in that way and besides, I'm a servant and he's my master.' I said and realization hit me. Nothing can happen between us. Until I get freed, I'll always be his servant.

'Are you blind? Don't you see the way he looks at you? It's too bad you're his servant but in a few years you'll be free. Or he can free you early.'

A bitter laugh escaped my lips. 'No he can't. Technically, I'm Master Cullen's servant. Only he can free me early and we both know that will never happen.'

She huffed in defeat and concentrated on eating. 'I still think this will end well.' She muttered under her breath, probably to herself.

Once we were done eating, I hugged Rose. 'I'll see you later.' I said and she nodded.

Just as I set foot outside her hut she called my name. 'Hey Bella, would you like to come to slave night on Tuesday?'

'That's in two days right?' I said.

'Yes. I was hoping I could introduce you to Emmett and a few other close friends.' She smiled.

'Sure Rose. I'd be happy to come!'

'Great!' she squealed. 'Be at my hut around six.'

'I will. Bye Rose!'

'Bye Bella!' she closed the door behind her and I continued walking to the house. The truth is; I couldn't wait until Tuesday. I didn't really make any acquaintances except for Rosalie. Actually, I made none. She was the only one who I considered a friend. I think she's more like my best friend now. Or at least, we're really close friends. I've never had a close friend so the thought made me happy. Back in school, not many people used to talk to me. Except for Jessica, but she didn't turn out to be the best friend.

'Bella!' I heard a soft velvety voice say. A smile immediately appeared on my face.

'Hello Edward.' I said.

'How have you been?'

'Great, you?'

'Quite well. Listen, I just wanted to say I'll be out of town tonight until Monday.' He said.

'Okay.' I said warily. Monday was tomorrow so I didn't see what he was telling me this. His tone indicated that he wasn't finished with what he wanted to say.

'So I was wondering, how about I pick you up Monday around six?'

I smiled widely at him. 'Sure. Where are we going?'

'It's a surprise. But I need to leave now. I'll be back tomorrow around five, so if you need anything before our date, don't hesitate to come to my office.'

Our date. Our date. Date.

'O-okay.' I stuttered. I was jumping of joy on the inside, I thought I might burst.

He gave me his crooked grin before leaving the house, closing the door behind him. My first thought was to run and find Rosalie to tell her about our date tomorrow night. I knew she'd be just as excited as me. I was just about to do that when a voice stopped me.

'Isabella.'

I turned around to face Master Cullen. His face was composed, which was even worse than angry.

'Y-yes?' I gulped. Oh God, he wasn't going to whip me was he? He couldn't have found out about yesterday right? Or maybe he overheard Edward asking me out. Oh God, please help me.

'In my office please.'

I was tempted to decline his offer, but I knew it would get me into more trouble so I nodded silently and walked as he followed behind me. As soon as I set foot in his office, the door slammed and he grabbed my hair, pushing me to the wall, his other hand covering my mouth preventing me from screaming.

His lips were at my ear. 'Listen to me, and you better listen carefully. You're going to stay away from Edward, starting now. I better not catch you two like that again. Don't think I don't know about yesterday. So I'm telling you this one last time, otherwise this won't end well for you. Stay away from Edward.' He pushed me one more time against the wall then left the room, slamming the door behind him.

I slid down to the floor and sobbed. Oh. My. God.
