Aiko felt guilty about leaving the mistress, but he couldn't always be with her alone.He walked in the kitchen, as Emily had told him.

When aiko opened the door, a great number of arms pulled him inside, bringing him into the hugging arms of almost all of the maids at the same time. Emily stood back and watched, not wanting to interrupt. "You're so cute!" One said. "He's probably got a girlfriend." Said another.

Probably no more than two seconds after he opened the door, he felt many, many arms grab him, and pull him into a hug.He looked about.He was getting hugged by almost all the maids.He looked at the one that called him cute, then the one that guessed he had a girlfriend..

"Him and the mistress have been hanging out a lot for the past two days." One acknowledged. The rest nodded in agreement. "They look cute together. A rich girl and her butler, who's willing to protect her with his life." Another said.

Aiko looked down, his cheeks starting to turn pink in the midst of all this awkwardness.

Emily eventually dragged him out of the large group. "Alright ladies, I'm sure you can talk to him without suffocating him." The others nodded in agreement and began to talk again. "It is getting closer to that day though. We'll probably be receiving the invitation in the mail tomorrow. And its the day after we get the invite."

Aiko felt another hand grab him, and drag him out of the group, that honestly he was glad of.Aiko looked at Emily."Invitation? For what?" He asked.

Emily looked back at him, a look in her eyes. "The crescent moon ball. Its a dance most of the richer people of the world are invited to. Graces parents went but she doesn't have anyone to go with so she doesn't go." Emily smiled like she had just come up with a good idea, which she had. "Aiko, would you like to take the mistress to the crescent moon dance as her date?"

"Oh.." Aiko acknowledged, so it was a ball.The Crescent Moon ball.Aiko went mute at the 'take mistress as her date' He looked down.."um.." was all that escaped him.He officially reached the highest level of shyness.

Emily backed up for a minute. "Sorry, I guess you'll need a minute. Its just that it would be nice for her to go for once."

"I may discuss it with her.." he said quietly.So that was a MAYBE.

"Thank you." Emily said. She was glad it was at least a maybe, this way the mistress didn't miss the dance again.

Aiko looked back at Emily."Is that all?" He asked.Just to be sure, so he would know rather or not now he could talk to the mistress.

"Yep. You can go ahead and ask her now if you want." Emily suggested to him.

Since that was all she needed, he left the room, returning to the dining room.To the mistress.

Grace had finished her salad at this point and smiled at him when he entered. "Hello again aiko. The salad you made me was delicious."

Aiko went over to her, "glad you liked it" he said.Just by the looks of it, now was a good time for both to say what they wanted.She could say what she wanted to earlier, and could say what he wanted to now.

Grace continued to look at him. She was a bit nervous to tell him what she wanted to so she hoped he would say something to break the silence. "Aiko, do you have something on your mind?"

"Just a question" he said.He was being Alittle hesitant to ask..

"Is it a question you need to ask me?" She asked curiously, glad she wasn't the only one who didn't need to ask something. She was still nervous so she stalled.
