Chapter 11

Sophie

I breathed a sigh of relief as I made to the bottom of the stairs. The ballroom did look lovely and I have to give Susan credit since I knew she worked hard on pulling this off. I could feel the stares on me as I looked around the room. I saw different kinds of creatures and people dressed up and they were looking at me like I've never been here. That is true but I couldn't help it.

Talk about awkward moment.

"Sophie!" I heard my name called. I spun around and saw Lucy rushing over towards me. She was dressed in a red and white ball gown and her hair was curled and was half up and down.

"Lucy you look amazing" I said, relieved that I saw someone I know.

"Thank you so do you" she said.

"Thanks and the dress is really beautiful I can't believe you and Susan would do this for me with the dress thing" I said.

"Oh it's nothing, we had a hunch that you would have trouble with picking out one so we just had this one made up" she said.

"Thank you but where is your sister anyways?" I asked.

"Dancing with Caspian while Peter is trying to think of ways to break them up" Lucy replied.

"They seemed like a good couple why would Peter do that?"

"He's just being overprotective" Lucy replied. "He and Edmund are always like that with us."

"Speaking of, where is Edmund anyways?" I asked, looking around.

"I heard my name" a voice interrupted us. I looked up and saw Edmund in front of us. Oh did he look handsome. He was wearing a dark blue tunic shirt along with a pair of dark brown pants and a pair of black boots.

"You've cleaned up well" I said. I didn't want to flat out say he looked handsome. God knows what he'll think about that one.

"Thanks and you Sophie look stunning" he said, grabbing my hand and kissing the back of it.

"Thanks" I said, trying to hide the flush that was coming to my face.

"I'll leave you two alone" Lucy said as she walked away from us.

"I wonder what that was all about" he said.

"I don't know" I shrugged. Just at the moment, the music stopped and another piece of music started to play. I remember hearing them rehearse this earlier but it sounded the same as before. I did saw some people either getting on the dance floor or getting off.

"Would you like to dance milady?" Edmund asked, bowing in front of me.

"Really, chivalry?" I asked. He only looked up without standing up straight.

"Okay" I said. Edmund grinned as he stood up straight. I rolled my eyes playfully as we walked towards the dance floor but not before Edmund slipped his arm through mine and escorted me.

We got on the floor and he wrapped his arm around my waist while I held on to his shoulder. I looked at him nervously as I felt eyes on us.

"Don't worry about them" he said.

"I'll try not to" I said.

Dear God, please don't let me fall on my face.

We started to glide on the floor while I was keeping a steady pace. I could tell he did have a lot of experience in this stuff. For me this was so new.

We circled around and I looked out of the corner of my eye Susan and Caspian looking over at us. She had a look of surprise and interest on her face while Caspian masked the same look.

"I take it they don't see you dancing at something like this" I said.

"Once in awhile but I think it's you that's dancing with me" he pointed out.

"I think it's a shock that I'm actually doing this" I said.

"At least you're not like some of the girls here who can't even dance for the life of them" he said.

I nodded as we continued to move around. "I haven't seen you since the day before yesterday" he said.

"Yeah I'm sorry I hope I didn't pull off as avoiding you. I was just trying to not be an annoying little pest as everything was getting ready" I said.

"You wouldn't be an annoying pest, not under my watch anyways" he said.

"Oh and what's that supposed to mean?" I asked, as I raised my eyebrow at him.

"I meant was that we could've hung out or something like that" he replied nervously.

"True but I didn't know whether or not you were busy" I said.

He didn't say anything for awhile as we danced. His hold on me was tight but not too tight. I felt that it was only me and him and no one else that was dancing. Also, I couldn't help but feel these weird feelings that I've been having the past few days. It was something I couldn't describe but I hope it wasn't something else.

"Sophie, you there?" Edmund's voice asked.

"Huh?" I said turning my attention towards him.

"I tried to call you twice now."

"Sorry I spaced out again" I said. I looked around and saw that people were dancing to a different song now.

"Do you want to stop?" he asked.

"Well I was hoping we would dance again if you want to. You don't have to if you don't want to" I suggested.

"I don't mind" he replied, smiling. "I was going to ask you that anyways."

"Too bad I beat you to it" I said.

Later on that night, I felt like I was going to fall asleep standing up. I danced a few more times with Edmund before he got whisked away into dancing with some of the women here. I did dance with Peter and with Caspian but it felt different. I mean when I danced with Edmund, it felt right.

If I was falling for him, lord help me.

"Hey" I heard Edmund's voice as I was heading towards the punch table.

"Hi you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, um do you think you can meet me on the balcony outside?"

"Sure are you sure you're okay? You sound weird" I said.

"I'm fine I just want to be outside for awhile" he replied.

I decided to let the conversation go. "Okay but let me get a glass you want anything?"

"Nope I'm fine" he said as we parted ways.

I shook my head as I grabbed a goblet of wine. I took a sip and it wasn't bad wine. I didn't drink back home but I guess there's no age limit on alcohol.

I took a deep breath and headed towards the doors which lead to the balcony outside. When I opened the door, I almost dropped my glass. I saw Edmund and another girl who probably looked prettier than me almost locking lips.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa" I said, looking away and causing them to jump.

"Sophie" Edmund breathed out.

"Um, wow Edmund I didn't know you wanted me to meet your girlfriend" I said. I blinked my eyes almost rapidly and this happens when I'm close to crying.

"It's not like that" he said, taking a few steps forward.

"Of course not otherwise I wouldn't have stepped out here. I'm sorry go back to whatever you were doing and I'll just wash my eyes out" I said as a few traitor tears fell. Great, now I'm going to cry in front of him.

"Night" I mumbled before I took one last look at Edmund who had a shocked and pained look on his face as I shut the door.

I leaned against it for a few seconds before I put the goblet nearby and walked fast away from the door. I hastily wiped the tears that were making their way down my face.

"Sophie, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Susan asking me as she stopped me.

"Ask Edmund" I replied. "I'm sorry but I'm heading off to bed." I pushed past her and ran upstairs into the hall.

I broke out into a run as I ran past the guests and up the stairs. I pushed the door to my room open and slamming it shut. I fell to the floor as I started to cry. I don't even know why I was crying in the first place. I had a feeling my makeup was ruined and I made a complete idiot out of myself.

I got up from the floor and took off the dress and placing it in the closet. I put on a dark maroon nightgown and collapsed on the bed. I cried for awhile before I stopped. I sat up slowly as I started to realize something.

The way I was acting on the dance floor and how I was on the balcony. The way I was staring at Edmund with a hurt look as I saw him and the blonde on the balcony near one another.

I suddenly realized why I was acting like this.

I was literally falling head over heels for Edmund.

I'm falling in love with him.

Oh freaking crap.

A/n: Holy freaking crap I updated on time! And I'm supposed to get up early in eight hours to get ready for work. Oh well!

Okay so this is one of the dramatic moments that are going to happen in this story since it isn't all roses and unicorns. Whatever it's called which leads us to these questions: Is this a misunderstanding? What did Edmund wanted to say to Sophie? Will Sophie tell Edmund her feelings for him? All will be revealed in the next few chapters.

Also something happens to Sophie that may have Edmund coming to her rescue in the next chapter. What could it be? You just got to find out. You think I was going to give it away? I don't think so.

Don't forget to review! I feel like I'm losing my readers so let me know how I'm doing please! I thank each and every one of you for your support and patience! I'll try to update next week.
