A/N so I don't really know what Giselle is about so if somebody could tell me that would be fantastic. Oh and I'm sincerely sorry that I haven't been able to update. School's busy. My Internet wasn't working. My laptop gave me a hard time and lost two long chapters so I have to start all over. Sorry for the delay but please review!

Oh My God. Giselle. We are going to be auditioning for Giselle. I am going to freaking have a heart attack. I looked over at Edward who looked well amazing as always but he didn't look as excited as the others did. Emmett and Jasper looked the same. Did they not understand that this is one of the greatest productions ever?

"What is Giselle? Isn't it that animal?" Emmett leaned over to ask me.
"No you idiot that's a gazelle and I have no idea what Giselle is." I told him.
Emmett looked at Jasper inquiringly as if to ask him if he knew and Jasper just shrugged.
I looked over at Bella and the girls and they looked absolutely animated. Alice looked as if she was going to piss herself; Rose was a bit more collected but still excited and Bella looked beautiful and joyful. She must be really excited.
The Madame continued to talk about the production and the auditions. We were to continue working with our partners for the next couple months. Apparently they're a preaudition and then the actual audition.
Great I thought. Means I am stuck with Portia for awhile longer. Ugh I would rather be Bella's partner, but sadly she is stuck with that imbecile Eric Yorkie.
Occasionally Emmett or Jasper would catch me growling at him because I saw him touch Bella the wrong way. I wanted to knock his lights out.
Class continued and we practiced and once I could have sworn Portia touched my butt. Seriously that girl needed to give up. I had no physical attraction to her whatsoever or any emotional ones. The only emotional one was shame. She did not give up no matter how many times I told her I was busy or I had a date with Bella. She was unwilling to grasp reality. I did not want her but she was still unrelenting.
After class I tried to walk away but Portia grabbed my arm, "Edward."
I turned around, "Yes Portia?" I asked.
"Would you like to go out for dinner tonight?" She asked.
"No I'm sorry I'm busy I have other plans." I told her as politely as I could muster.
Didn't she know? No means no. Jesus. She must not be used to having somebody say no to her. Spoiled brat.
I hung out with Bella after class for a little and then she had to go do things with Rose and Alice. I went back to the dorm and chilled with Em and Jazz for the rest of the night. We talked girls all night and played video games. Real manly night.
We ordered a pizza and then decided to google Giselle.
"As the ballet begins, a nobleman named Albrecht is busily wooing a young, beautiful peasant girl named Giselle. Albrecht leads the young maiden to believe that he is a farmer named Loys. Giselle falls in love with the man, unaware that he is already betrothed to Bathilde, daughter of the Duke. She agrees to marry the man, despite the romantic advancements of another peasant, Hilarion, who suspects that Albrecht is an imposter. Giselle wants badly to dance, but her mother warns her that she has a weak heart.
A Prince and his entourage are soon announced by a hunting horn. When the prince's daughter realizes that she and Giselle are both engaged, she gives her a gold necklace. Hilarion tells Giselle that Albrecht has been deceiving her, that he is actually a nobleman. Bathilde quickly reveals to Giselle that Albrecht is indeed her fiance. Horrified and weak, Giselle goes mad and dies of a broken heart.
The second act of the ballet takes place in a forest beside Giselle's grave. The Queen of the ghostly Wilis, virgins who have died of unrequited love, calls upon them to accept Giselle as one of their own. When Hilarion stops by, the Wilis make him dance to his death. But when Albrecht arrives, Giselle (now a Wili herself) dances with him until the Wilis' power is lost, when the clock strikes four. Realizing that Giselle has saved him, Albrecht cries at her grave."
"What the hell?" Emmett shook his head.
"Very interesting" Japser said quietly.
"So basically homeboy was like a player or something?" Emmett looked at Jazz and I skeptically.
"Who knows he could have truly been in love." I told him.
"You are turning on us Eddie, your all whipped and in love and sound like a girl after a chick flick dude." He told me.
"I am not whipped and I'm just saying, it is about love not playing." I told him.
"Whatever you say Eddie" He turned and whispered something to Jazz which made him snicker.
"My name is not Eddie." I stalked off to the kitchen to grab a drink.
We ate and played video games for a couple more hours and then decided it was time to turn in. I needed to rest up for the next day. Dealing with Portia took a lot out of me.
I laid in bed thinking.
Does Bella really like me? I think so. We're doing really good. I enjoy spending time with her and I miss her every moment we're not together. Could I be in love?
I pondered this until I fell asleep.
I woke up the next day and made my way to the kitchen not bothering with a shower since I already took one before I went to bed. Emmett was in the kitchen in his boxers. I grimaced at the scene. He was dancing around the kitchen singing some Michael Jackson song, flipping pancakes and using the spatula as his microphone.
"People always told me be careful of what you do and don't go around breaking young girls hearts and mother always told me be careful of who you love and be careful of what you do cause the lie becomes the truth!" Emmett sang into the spatula.
"Hey Eddie!" Em greeted me flicking the spatula my way and splattering the counter with pancake batter. "Oops"
"Good morning Em. Chocolate chip?" I asked
"Yeah your favorite dude. Where's Jazz?" He asked while flipping one of his delicious pancakes. Em was a great cook.
As soon as he asked Japser walked in drying his hair with a towel.
"Good morning guys" He said and then flung his wet towel at Emmett's face.
"Hey dude watch it!" Em threw the towel back at him.
I chuckled and then grabbed a couple of pancakes off the plate next to Em and started digging in.
"Mmmm so good." I groaned. I loved Emmett's pancakes. They were the best.
Jasper grabbed three and sat on the stool next to me.
We chatted a little joking around with each other and then decided to get to class.
Usually we met the girls at the fountain but do to yesterday's announcements they were probably already left early to the studio.
We walked to the studio and to no one's surprise the girls were already stretching and practicing routines.
We greeted them with hugs and even some kisses and then went to stretch.
"Well hello Edward sleep well?" I turned and Portia was standing there batting her eyelashes.
"Hello Portia." I greeted her and turned back to the bar. I could still feel her beady eyes like they were burning into my skin. She was no doubt ogling me.
"Don't you have stretching or practicing to do?" I asked her in a slightly malicious tone.
"I suppose so." She huffed a little and walked away.
"Dude that chick is like psycho or something." I turned and looked at Emmett who was giving Portia his crazy biotch look, as he liked to put it.
"Yeah I know man." I stretched my leg.
"Doesn't she know you and Bella are sort of involved?" Jasper asked me stretching out his arms.
"Well I don't know I mean Bella and I don't really put it out there and we aren't really exclusive yet." I told them. I was confused about our relationship. I needed to ask her.
I contemplated on how to ask her until the Madame interrupted my thoughts.
"Please find your partner and start practicing. The other instructors will come by to you and we will show you the routine you are to practice and then we will critique you on your dance. Please practice some moves with your partner until we get around to all of you." Madame started teaching the couple nearest to her.
Portia and I danced and practiced our spins until an instructor got to us.
"You guys need to hold each other like you're in love, like you never want to let her go." The instructor critiqued us. I wanted to throw up. Portia looked elated when the instructor told me to hold her close to me and then grasp her hand tightly when I spun her around. I would much rather be doing this with Bella than her.
The rest of the class continued you like this and then the instructors finally dismissed us.
I caught up with Bella after class and we went out for coffee.
"So how was your day?" I asked her taking her hand in my own.
She smiled up at me, "Well besides the numerous times Eric stepped on my feet Fine I guess. Better now though" She added.
"Well I'm glad to hear that." I told her grinning at her. Happy that I was the one that brightened her day.
We talked about everything and then got to the café and ordered two cappuccinos.
"Bella I've been meaning to ask you and please do not feel as if I'm rushing you into anything but what would you consider us as?" I asked biting my lip. I was hoping she didn't think I was rushing her into anything.
"Um well to be honest I don't really know. I mean I really do like you Edward but I need to focus on school." She looked a little sad.
"Bella I understand completely and I will not get in your way of school. We can take it as slow as you like." I smiled and then gently laid a chaste kiss on her hand.
"Thank you Edward." She blushed.
"So do you consider us dating?" I asked.
"Well I thought I was just gracing you with my presence but yes if that's dating." She laughed at I smiled at her. She was so beautiful yet smart and witty.
"Well can I walk my girlfriend back to her dorm?" She looked at me in shock.
Crap I just scared her. Great Edward. Fuck up everything you had going you idiot.
"I'm your g-girlfriend?" Bella asked stammering a little.
"Well if you aren't opposed to it then yes." I looked at her hopefully.
"Of course not." Bella laughed throwing her arms around my neck and kissing me on the lips.
This went a lot better than I thought it would.
