I am from Germany, so I hope my English isn´t too bad, I tried my best.
I own nothing, everything belongs to the amazing Stephenie Meyer.
The word for the second story was "Dancing" and the story is written from Bellas POV.
I really hope you enjoy it.

Our Melody
The dancer's body is simply the luminous manifestation of the soul.
- Isadora Duncan -
I was leaning against a counter in Jacobs garage, listening to the raindrops falling to the ground outside.
I hummed a quiet, calm melody and watched Jacob fixing my bike. Again. I was just a hopeless case.
Recalling today's trip to the cliffs, the melody, my melody, got quicker, more alive and my feet started to move.
The rain had come suddenly, surprising Jake and me. As usual. It had been quite a sunny day until we reached a path close to the cliffs. Then the sky had turned dark grey and Jake, always worried about my health, had urged us to drive back to his house. Though I was disappointed, I couldn't deny that I was cold and the thought of another pair of drenched clothes convinced me.
So, rain came quicker than we'd thought and so we drove back on muddy roads, which was clearly too much for me. More than once I made contact with the grounds. And each time Jake leaped off his bike, lifting me up and asking me if I were alright. I was, but eventually the bike wasn't.
"Bella, what is going on?"
Jakes rough voice brought me back to reality. I hadn't realized my voice getting louder, the melody becoming more vivid and cheery.
My cheeks blushed and I couldn't stop myself from grinning when I saw Jakes featherbrained expression. I didn't stop humming either.
For a second, nothing happened. Than Jake mirrored my grin and started to hum with me. The same melody. Though it was my very own. He knew it. How was a miracle to me.
His smile grew wider and he slowly moved towards me, swinging his huge body with our personal song.
He was just as incapable of dancing as I was and he looked ridiculous. I burst into laughter, my knees giving in. Slowly, I sank to the cold ground, but before I even reached it, two strong arms wrapped around my waist. Jake pulled me back on my feet and I lifted my head to look into his eyes, feeling light hearted when I saw his smile.
He sank his own head and rested his cheek on the top of my head, humming into my ear. The melody was slower again and Jacob gently swayed me in his arms, his fingers drawing smooth circles on my back.
"Jake…"
He never answered me, instead he pulled me away from him, taking my hands in his own, suddenly spinning me around.
When we faced each other again, I didn't move, neither did he. But he was still humming, looking deep into my eyes.
I pulled my left hand out of Jakes and instead laid it against his neck, kindly stroking his russet skin.
"Bella…"
I smiled, joining his humming again.
My head fell against his bare chest, feeling his heartbeat and I closed my eyes. We continued to move to the raindrops and our very own melody…
Please review and tell me what you think...
