DISCLAIMER: I still dont own Twilight. I wish I did so Rob could be mine. ;)
We were just holding hands because that's what you do while dancing, I thought. Just then, my thoughts took over until I heard Edward's angelic voice cut in.
"Bells, you wanna slow dance?" I nodded as "Realize" by Colbie Callait began to play.
I wrapped my arms instinctively around his neck while he put his hands on my waist, as we began to dance.
He looked down to me and asked, "So, how are you enjoying the party?"
I just gazed up and said, "I'm having a blast now that I am hanging with you." I paused. Edward then replied, "Yeah, I saw you with Mike. I didn't think he would ever let you go." he winked.
"Yeah, well, I guess I'm too irresistible." I joked, laughing at it. Edward chuckles and scanned the room. As soon as I saw his smile fade, I knew something was wrong.
"What is it?" I asked. I turned around to see who he was staring at but, he pulled me back around before I had the chance.
"It's nothing, Bells." And we continued to dance.
By the time the song was over, I had my head on Edward's shoulder and he was rubbing his hand up and down my back. I have never felt more at ease with anyone in my entire life.
We were still slow dancing as the music began to pick up in tempo. Neither of us cared. I asked, "What your ex left, she told me to be happy. What was that all about?"
"Well, umm, she was just jealous because of how long we've been friends…" he said. He sounded a bit nervous and like he was hiding something. I blew it off and we continued to dance and talk.
There was one thing that was bugging me, and it wasn't about the previous answer. It was another question that nagged at my noggin.
I sighed. Edward caught on. "Yes, what's wrong, Bella?" his angelic voice suddenly knocking me out of my thoughts. "I just had this thought irking my brain." I looked up to him and his face was questionable.
"And the thought was about?" he leaned in a little and his warm breath instantly made me woozy. I instantly answered.
"Umm, you know how we haven't been real close since 9th grade?" he hesitantly nodded. "Well, how come we are like this now? What changed?"
He leaned back and we stopped dancing. Our hands entwined. "I don't know exactly what happened. I guess, I became 'hot' like every girl has said before. But, I guess it was the fact that we were going through changes. You remember when our parents always joked about us?" I nodded, just as I had thought earlier. "Well, I thought about that and felt 'things'."
"What 'things'?" I was getting a bit confused at where he was going with this.
"The way we went through our changes, I didn't think it was possible to have feelings for you but, I feel something and have felt it for some time. I just-" Edward was cut off as I felt someone tap my shoulder. Edward stood with poise and put on a slight grin.
In awe and irritation, I turned around to see a smiling Mike. I took a deep breath and said, "Hey, Mike."
My voice sounded irritable but, who else would be cheery after something like that?
"Hey Bells, would you want to dance?" he sounded so happy. I was about to tell him 'No' because Edward was more important but, he beat me to the punch.
"You should go, Bella. I will talk to you later."
I nodded reluctantly and Mike and I walked away to the dance floor.
