Chapter nine

the water is cold but nice. i swim back up and smile at Edward.

"is that nice?" he asks, i jump out and hug him getting him wet o laugh and smiles. he laughs and looks at me like im insane.

"do you remember when you where scared of me?"

"i still am a little bit.." i say softly

"and why is that?" he asks

"your just so tall and so big and i don't i'm so small" i bit my lip. Edward grabs my waste and holds me.

"but i wouldn't hurt you, not now not ever." he hugs me and i hug him back and smile. the door opens and someone clears there throat. Edward lets go of me and turns to see Liza.

"sorry to bother you, but you both have been invited to a ball in four days. the after party's will be held here."

"here? like here, here!" i yell

"is there a problem April?" Liza asks

"here, here i-i need to start cleaning!" i run out and tie my hair up. i run and grab rags and mops whatever i can find. i start to clean the walls and the floor going at insane speeds. i wipe sweat off my head and lean on the wall for a moment.

then i keep working. i work for hours and don't realize how late it is tell i look at my watch. 3:56 am it says. i clean all 189 rooms but theirs one room left, Edwards. i walk in with the candlestick in my mouth. i start cleaning being careful not to knock anything down.

he snores and i keep cleaning i walk to his desk and knock over a book burning wax falls onto my nose i scream the candle drops out of my mouth Edward wakes up. i hold my nose trying to get the wax off then before Edward turns on the light i dive into the little pool of water.

he turns on the light and reaches into the water and grabs my hand. he pulls me out of the water and under my eyes is dark again. he frowns and pulls me close to him.

"how long have you been cleaning?" he asks wiping the wax off my nose.

"um...well...like... i look at my watch 11..hours" i mumble.

"without sleep im guessing" i nod sadly.

"come on princess, you should sleep, with me. your nice and warm" he says smiling and i laugh. i change and lay down. Edward lays down and holds me. i fall asleep almost emeadietly.
