Chapter 26
BPOV
"Heel, toe, heel toe"
So this was how it was going down at practice the next day. Learning the foxtrot is something that I've never done before. It requires grace and that I don't have what so ever. Grace+ my klutziness = disaster in the making.
"Now we going to slide along the floor or glide as I preferred it" he said as we glide across the floor slowly.
"Am I going have to do this at a faster tempo?" I asked.
"Well not to fast, we don't want anything to happen to your ankle like last week" Mark said.
"True" I mumbled as I walked over to the side to check on my ankle. It has gotten a bit better but not as bad as it was before. I wore a brace for practices now. Who knows what might happen.
*****************************
The next day, I had class, luckily it's only one class, then work and then dance rehearsal. Somehow, I've managed to get through today before anything else. I was driving to practice when my phone beeped.
I looked over to where my phone was sitting on the seat and saw that I have a new text. I decided to check it out when I get to the studio. I don't think that a chief's daughter would get a ticket for replying a text message. That would be just wrong.
I got to the studio in less than a minute after. I pulled into the parking lot and put my truck in park. I grabbed my phone and I saw the text message which was from none other than Edward.
Hi, hope you're trying to enjoy your day-E
I actually just got to dance and I'm almost ready to die!! Ha ha ha.-B
How funny and I'll let you go do that but minus the dying part. I wouldn't know what I would do if anything was to happen to you.-E
I sat there in my truck, shellshock. The hell did that mean? Did he mean that he likes me as more than…no it couldn't be, could it?
I quickly gave a reply back and threw my phone in my bag and stepped out of the truck, locked it and after making sure I locked it, I walked into the studio.
***************************
Group Waltz rehearsal went pretty interesting the next day. Basically, we were taught how to dance the waltz for those who've never done it. Then we were going to dance around in a circle with our partners and one by one, we would do a solo and then fall back in line.
Pretty weird huh?
As soon as that rehearsal was let out, me and Mark went back to the studio to work on our little solo for the group waltz.
"Spin, spin and walk two, three four"
I spun around and then I almost slipped. That was the third time that has happened.
"Bella, what is going on in your head? You need to be focused on the waltz yesterday you were doing well with the rest of the cast at rehearsal." Mark said.
"Sorry I guess I'm trying to get the steps in place" I admitted sheepishly. Normally I would get this down pat. However today was different.
"It's okay, come on let's start over again" he said as we got back into place.
****************************
By Saturday, I basically had the foxtrot rehearsal done and I was working a bit on the waltz solo for the group dance. Since I didn't have rehearsal today, I wanted to get it down and right. I don't want to be winding up screwing it up, then getting a crappy score and then being in the bottom two and then being sent home.
All in all, it would just basically suck.
I was in the living room, practicing the dance solo with the music that I've downloaded from my computer. Emmett and Rose went to do wedding stuff, Jasper was upstairs, Mom went out and Dad was down by La Push fishing with Billy and one of his friends, Harry Clearwater.
I heard a knock on the door as I was making my way to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. I walked over to the door and to my amazement, there was someone who I least expected.
I opened up the door and to my surprise Edward was there.
"Hi" he said, smiling.
"Hi" I squeaked out. smooth, Bella, really smooth.
"Would you want to come in? Unless you have somewhere else to go to" I offered.
"Nah, I only stopped by to see you" he replied, "but I be more than happy to."
I stepped out of the way so Edward can come in. He walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. The music was still going on in the background.
"Want anything to drink?" I asked.
"No, I'm good" he replied as I came walking in.
"Listening to music?" he asked me.
"Try more of dancing, I was trying to work on the waltz" I replied.
"By yourself?" he asked incredulously.
"Mainly, the solo which I kept screwing up, why I don't know" I said.
"Would it be a bother if I saw what you were working on?" he asked.
"Not at all" I stammered a bit. Great, I'm wondering myself how this was all going to go down.
As I started the music up, I noticed Edward was staring at me. Try more like studying me. It was kind of weird actually. It wasn't like him judging me or anything.
When I was showing, more like what I was doing for my waltz, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Edward getting up. I continued to practice and the next thing I knew that Edward was standing right in front of me.
"W-what are you doing?" I asked.
"Helping you" he said and then he took my hand and guided me across the living room.
We danced like this to the music. However this was totally different. It was like the dream I had when I was dancing the rumba. Only this time, it was to much real. We danced around the living room, retracing my steps of what I was suppose to do. He then twirled me around the living room and I was met with his face closer to mine.
I could feel his breath on my face. Then our faces inched closer and closer and closer. Just when this couldn't get any better, it was all too soon interrupted.
"Hey, Bells, have you had any idea when Emmett's going to be home?" Jasper asked running down the stairs.
Edward and I pulled apart immediately as Jasper came in.
"Oh hey Edward, didn't know you were here" he said.
"Yeah and I just stopped by to say hi to Bella over and to confirm with tomorrow on meeting my parents" he said.
"Um, yeah which I can't wait for them to meet, I mean I cant wait to meet them" I said.
"Good, see you tomorrow, I have to be going" Edward said and then out of nowhere, he kissed me on the cheek and flashed me a crooked grin. I said bye to him and closed the door.
"So what just happened in the living room?" Jasper asked.
"None of your concern, however if you must know, I was practicing and then Edward came by and help me out is that a crime?" I asked him.
"No, unless it happens to be a judge who's on a show and you're in love with him" he said with a mischievous grin.
"Oh please" I said going up the stairs.
"Why don't you just admit it already?" he called up.
"Not unless, you say you like Alice as more than friends" I called down, leaning over the railing.
"Damnit" he grumbled.
"HA!" I yelled down and ran into my room. Ugh, brothers. Got to love them but hate the at the same time.
A/n: YAY I've updated! I know how weird that I usually don't take like weeks to update. However since I did have to time to do it, I did.
