A/N: Short Chapter, I know...don't murder me. I'll be posting chapter 11(not counting th A/N's) tomorrow, and it'll be longer than this. (hopefully longer than the others as well, since I have a LOT of things to put in that chapter...I just need to type it.) But anywho, here's this short little chap...

The days passed, it has been a whole week without seeing Edward. I had hoped to see him the day after his birthday, but mother thought it highly inappropriate. As for the goodnight kiss that Edward gave me that night, I was thankful mother was looking off another direction, probably distracted by father. I think he saw us, because when I got in the auto, he had a smirk on his face. I would think he would be angry at the thought, but he was not. I found it strange, but I did not care. Mother on the other hand, if she saw Edward and I kissing, she would have probably had a heart attack.

I yawned as I woke up with a start. I changed quickly and headed down stairs to the dining room. Father was already up, with newspaper in hand and coffee in the other.

"Good morning, Bells." He said in such a fatherly manner.

"Good morning, father. Anything interesting in the news today?" I asked just to ask.

"Nothing in particular. How are you this morning?" he asked.

"I'm well and…happy." The last part maybe not so much. I ached to see Edward again.

Father put his newspaper down and studied my expression. The maid suddenly came in with breakfast. She laid a plate with eggs, bacon, and pancakes, onto my father's setting. She did the same for me and disappeared to the kitchen. Father finally looked away from me and began to eat his meal.

"Where's mother?" I wondered. She's usually here criticizing me for no particular reason. I can't believe I didn't notice she was not here.

A faint smile appeared on his face. "She's having brunch with Mrs. Masen this mid-morning."

"Oh," I said and began picking at my food.

He chuckled. "Oh, my dear Bella. Do you fancy the Masen son?" he asked. Was I that easy to read?

I sighed.

"I take that as a yes." He smiled. "Something like this would upset me, but in this case, I like Edward, he's a good boy."

I flushed at the sound of his name. Goodness! Even his name makes my heart skip a beat.

"Would you like to join me today?" he asked, his eyes held a secret.

"But don't you usually go to the station on Saturdays?" I asked, trying to figure him out.

"Not today, besides when do I ever have some quality time with my daughter?" Ah, he's good.

"Well, alright." I said in defeat.

"What are you so worried about? I promise it will not be another baseball game." He chuckled lightly. Last time we had 'quality time' together, he thought it would be fun for us to go to a baseball game. Let's just say I don't remember much of that day, since the last thing I remembered was a flying ball coming towards me.

"I'm counting on it." I sighed wondering what he was up to.

A/N: You'll love Chapter 11 I promise...
