Chapter 25

AN: ANOTHER NAME CHANGE! I KNOW! I SHOULD JUST PICK ONE!

Rosalie's POV

When Alice, Bella, and I pulled up to the dance studio named Dan's Dance, the first person who greeted us was Dan himself.

"Hola! Newcomers I presume!" We knew this was Dan because of his tacky orange name tag with DAN written in cursive pink letters across it. He had on a frilly pink dance shirt, black tap shoes and tight black pants. He had curly brown hair and glasses, and he was about Bella's height.

We were all looking at him in total shock-and I could tell by the expression on Alice's face that she was going to kill Jasper.

Alice's POV

I was so going to kill Jasper.

Rosalie's POV

We spotted Jasper and Edward across the almost empty dance floor, chatting and laughing.

"So, we'll have to get you lovely ladies paired up, won't we?" Dan said excitedly.

I interjected. "We already have partners. Over there." I pointed over to where the guys were talking, and Dan laughed.

"Oh! Those handsome fellows? I should have known some gorgeous gals like you would have gorgeous hubbies! But it seems that there are only two of them and three of you…Does the extra need a partner?"

I didn't feel the need to tell him which one of us it was that was without a partner; it was none of his business. So I just said, "No, I think we'll be fine."

"Alrighty then!" He said, and waved us over to them, adding, "The lesson will begin in 10 minutes!"

We walked over to where Edward and Jasper were still laughing, and the first thing Alice did when we got over there was slap Jasper playfully on the arm.

"Ouch!" He exclaimed, noticing us come in and turning to her with a shocked expression.

"What was that for?" He continued.

"You didn't tell me the dance instructor was a freak!" Alice announced in a loud whisper.

"Hey! It was the only cheap place in town that we could go to without creating a membership account or being bombarded by professionals!"

Alice took this as an unacceptable excuse.

"I still don't like it!" She whined.

Edward laughed heartedly and I went to stand beside him and place my arm through his.

Alice and Jasper started arguing about if the whole idea of us dancing was even a good idea, but pretty soon they were laughing at themselves and each other playfully.

"I need to use the restroom," I announced, and reluctantly slipped my arm out of Edwards.

I left our group, and left an awkward looking Bella and Edward to talk amongst themselves.

Alice's POV

As soon as Rosalie left, I knew trouble would arise. If what I had seen in my vision of Bella and Edward had already happened, then things between them had to be weird, and Rose leaving them alone together would probably be very strange for them both.

I was about to start friendly conversation among all of us, so they wouldn't feel strange, (Bella looked especially uncomfortable), when Dan the Dance Instructor decided to walk over and invade.

"Oh! Now it's time to pair up! I can tell that you two are together," He mentioned, directed at me and Jasper, who were now holding hands, "But you two look a bit uncomfortable!" He shoved a look of judgment at Bella and Edward.

The four of us were dumbfounded.

"No they're not-" I started, but Dan ignored me and continued.

"It's perfectly fine, couples sometimes feel uncomfortable starting dance - actually, it is quite common."

He sort of pushed Bella, who was about two feet away from Edward, right beside him, and smiled.

"That's more like it!" He admired his work.

"Dan, they're not-" I tried again, but he wouldn't let me talk.

"Young lady, I think the two of them are perfectly fine with talking for themselves, and not having you speak for them. They do have mouths you know."

He said it in a bit of a mean tone, but then when he was finished, smiled, and walked away.

Edward and Bella immediately separated, and both looked embarrassed to death.

But, just then Dan announced we would be starting, and we now would pair up.

Rosalie wasn't back from the bathroom yet.

Hesitantly, I grabbed Jasper and pulled him with me onto the dance floor. He too, noticed Rosalie wasn't back yet, and threw a worried look at Edward and Bella.

From my place on the dance floor, I saw Edward sweetly reach out his hand and say something to Bella, she put her hand in his, and they moved swiftly to a spot on the floor.

"As you all know," Dan started, "There will be three sessions to this class. Each day we will learn a new dance, and today, we will be learning to Slow Dance."

Everyone put their hands around their partner, and I watched Bella and Edward intently.

They seemed to be doing fine, so I turned to Jasper.

He smiled. "You always were terrible at slow dancing," He said, with a huge grin now. "Remember our wedding?"

UGH. Yes I remembered. I had taken a week of lessons trying to learn slow dancing, which happened to be Jasper's favorite kind of dance, and I had failed miserably. He could dance it extremely well, and at our wedding, I danced pathetic next to him. I could hardly believe myself.

Now I laughed. "Yes, how could I forget?" I had grown better though, after the wedding, Jasper insisted that I take another class, but that this time he would take it with me.

Just then Rosalie emerged from the bathroom, only to see Bella and her husband dancing together; and I wasn't going to lie, it looked like they were enjoying it.

Dan hurried up to Rose, and put a hand on her back.

"Everyone else is paired up, so…I guess you'll have to dance with me!" He said.

Everyone could hear what he was saying, because the only other noise in the room was the soft tango music playing.

Rosalie gave Dan a doubtful look. "I would like to dance with my husband." She stated.

I had known Rose for a long time, ever since her and Eddy had started dating in high school. She was normally very nice, and considerate, but I knew the one thing that she was easily infected by was jealousy. It wasn't hard for her to get jealous, but it was hard for her to get over whatever it was she was jealous about.

And if the expression on her face was any indication, she was extremely jealous now.

I couldn't half blame her though. Edward and Bella looked pretty rapped into each other.

"And who is your husband?" Dan asked her, curiously.

Rose just pointed to Edward.

"Well, that's ridiculous!" Dan said, shaking his head. "He's with the woman he's dancing with!"

'Oh crap' was all I could think from here on out.

"No, he is my husband." Rosalie repeated.

"No, he is her husband." Dan argued.

Sometimes, I wish gay men would realize they don't know what they're talking about.

At this point, Rosalie was furious. She marched over to Edward and Bella, and separated them.

"May I interrupt?" She said, kind of snottily. Bella and Edward both looked astounded, but Bella peacefully backed off, and let Rosalie take her place.

Dan marched over. "This is unacceptable!" He yelled. By now, the entire room had stopped dancing, and was staring and Rosalie, Bella, Edward, and Dan.

"What?" Rosalie asked. "That I want to dance with my husband?"

"Him and-" He stopped for a moment and asked Bella her name. She told him quietly, and her continued. "Him and Bella were already dancing together! You can't just come and rip them apart! Dance does not care for excuses like jealousy!"

Rose was heated now. Everyone who knew Rose well enough, like Edward, Jasper and me knew that the only thing that got to her more than jealousy was someone telling her she was being jealous.

"I am NOT jealous!" Rose exclaimed, now pulled away from Edward, and standing furiously right in front of Dan.

Dan chuckled. "Not jealous?! I don't know if I've ever seen anyone more jealous in my entire life!!"

Rosalie looked now like she needed to be in a mental institution she was so angry.

And maybe she was crazy, because the next thing she did was shove her arm forcefully into Dan's face, causing his glasses to break and fall to the floor, and her to start shed tears and run from the building.

A couple seconds later, we heard a car pull quickly out of the parking lot, and heard skid marks being made on the pavement.
