Sorry that its been a while since I've had the chance to update! I've been really busy... But please hang in there because I've got some great ideas to come! Thank you soooo much to everyone who has reviewed, you've inspired me to write more. xoxox Enjoy!

Surprisingly, between the two of us we managed to eat pretty much everything that we ordered. I told Edward to stay put and be quiet while I took the leftovers down into the fridge and threw the empty containers out. My dad was too busy drinking his beer and focused on the ball game to even notice my presence. I made my way back up to my room and closed the door behind me. Edward, who was casually sitting on my bed where I left him, stopped gazing around the room and landed his bright green eyes on me.

"Sounds like Charlie's occupied down there" He smirked, making him look all the more handsome.

"Yeah, he's in his own little world. There's nothing better than having a cold beer while watching sport. Or so he says" I made my way back over to the swivel chair I was sitting on before and plonked myself down.

Edward casually leant back on his hands and that's when I noticed that he had taken his jacket off. I couldn't help but stare at the way his navy blue buttoned shirt hugged his body perfectly. Is it getting hot in here or is it just me? I thought, suddenly averting my eyes as he looked in my direction. My whole body started to heat up so I decided to pull my sweater off. I slightly cringed as I looked down at the plain grey tee I had on. If I had known that I'd be having an extremely hot guy in my room, I definitely would have put on something a little nicer… But oh well, it was too late to worry about that now.

Even with my sweater off, the room still felt a little stuffy. Edward was still staring at me with those mesmerizing eyes, which really didn't help the situation. The artificial light made his pale skin look somewhat tanned. He was gorgeous… I couldn't deny that. My heart skipped a beat as I realised we'd been staring at each other for longer than intended.

"Um, is that window behind you open?" I asked.

Edward tore his eyes away from mine and pulled back the curtains to check. In one quick motion he opened the window and moved back into his previous position – staring at me. "It is now" He smiled.

"Thanks" I mumbled, tucking some strands of hair behind my ear. What on earth is he thinking about when he looks at me like that, I wondered.

"How about we practice the dance routine?" He suggested all of a sudden, breaking me out of my thoughts.

I groaned louder than intended, causing him to raise one of his eyebrows in amusement.

"You're really serious about this whole dance thing, aren't you"

He simply tilted his head slightly to one side and shrugged his shoulders. "I think this is the perfect opportunity, don't you? We're both together… Alone"

"Yeah but I think you're forgetting one important factor…" I quickly interrupted him. "My dad is in the house!"

"Yes, I'm aware of that"

"Oh? Then you'll also be aware that I just can't turn the music on and stomp around when I told him that I'm working on an assignment"

"We're not going to be stomping and we don't need music… I can hum the tune" He ended his sentence in a rather seductive voice.

Before I had the chance to add my opinion, he suddenly shifted to the edge of the bed and reached out for the arm rests on my chair.

"Edward" I whined as he pulled me towards him. Trying to ignore the fact that he brought me right in between his legs, I closed my eyes and focussed on breathing.

"Bella..." I heard him whisper my name, as I imagined his face to be mere inches from my own. Why is he putting me through this torture? I swear, if I opened my eyes right now, I'm probably just going to grab onto him and have my way with him right here and now. He is that enticing!

"Please look at me" He whispered once again in his silky smooth voice.

I kept my eyes firmly shut and shook my head to indicate no. He exhaled when he sighed and I instantly felt the warmth of his breath brush across my face. Within a few seconds, he gently took hold of my hands and slowly began to trace circles with his fingertips. It didn't take long for me to give in as a huge smile spread across my face. I opened my eyes and avoided his gaze by looking down at out entwined hands.

"I seriously don't even know why you want to dance with me anyway… I'm clearly not good at it" I mumbled softly.

An awkward silence fell between us for a moment, before Edward finally spoke. "I thought that would be obvious… Why I want to dance with you, I mean"

I lifted my head up and ran my eyes over his serious facial expression. My look of total bewilderment made him laugh and a smile slowly formed on his face as he calmed down and stared into my eyes. It looked like he was about to say something but instead he tightened his grip on my hands and motioned for me to stand up.

I sighed in frustration that he didn't explain himself, but I kept quiet and followed him to the centre of the room. Once we were facing one another, he reached out and placed his right hand on my waist. I gasped at the warmth of his touch which penetrated through the thin material of my shirt.

"What's wrong?" He asked, looking down at my concerned face.

"Nothing!" I said a little too quickly.

He stared at me sceptically for a moment before exhaling. "Alright. Now, do you remember the first few steps?"

I bit my lowered lip as I placed one of my hands on his broad shoulder. "Um not really…"

Instead of laughing at me like I thought that he would, he simply nodded and talked me through it. After a quick run over of the routine, Edward started humming the tune like he said he would. I held my breath and blushed as he suddenly pulled me closer to his body. Surprisingly, the next half an hour was really fun. I stuffed up frequently, but Edward never lost his cool and always helped me to correct my footing. We tried to keep our giggles at a quiet level, but at times it was a little difficult.

Everything was going fine until he gently spun me around... Being the klutz that I am, I accidently tripped over my own foot and stumbled backwards. I immediately grabbed onto the closest thing to me, which happened to be Edward. What occurred next happened so quickly that it was all a blur to me. When I grabbed onto Edward's shirt, he lunged forward to try and stable me, but in the process he lost his footing... That resulted in the both of us falling onto the bed. I was thankful for the soft landing, and for the fact that Edward was able to support his weight without squashing me. He was leaning over my body, breathing heavily as he gazed down into my eyes. I mirrored his actions and then broke into a laugh once the initial shock was over. Edward apparently didn't seem to find the situation as funny as I did. He kept his eyes locked on mine until I slowly stopped laughing. I suddenly held my breath as realisation dawned on me what he was about to do…

He was going to kiss me...

But just as our faces were merely centimetres about, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Edward clearly heard them too, as he tore himself away from me and searched frantically for a place to hide.

"Over there – in my wardrobe" I whispered quickly.

He took my advice and stepped into the wardrobe, closing it just as there was a knock at my bedroom door. I straightened my clothing, shifted myself into the swivel chair and moved over to my desk.

"Come in" I called, desperately trying to stable my voice.

My dad slowly opened the door and poked his head into the room. "Sorry to disturb you honey, but I just wanted to say goodnight"

"Oh. Ok, goodnight dad" I smiled as I got up and walked over to the door to give him a brief hug.

"Also, would you be able to pop down to the shops tomorrow? I wrote out a list of items that we're running low on. It's down on the kitchen table"

"Yeah, sure thing dad. That shouldn't be a problem"

"And remember I'm going to have a late one tomorrow, so you'll have to organise dinner for yourself again, ok?"

I nodded. "Yep, that's fine. I'm sure I'll manage"

We said goodnight to each other once again and I waited until he had moved away before closing the door. I walked over to my wardrobe and opened up the wooden door.

"See, I told you that you wouldn't get caught!"

Edward stepped out from the shadows and smirked down at me. "That was a close call though…"

I shrugged my shoulders as I unintentionally fiddled with the hem of my top. "Meh, it's all good"

There was another moment of silence between us while we thought about what to do next. I looked over at my clock which displayed 10.20pm. Geez, time really does fly by when you're having fun! Edward seemed to read my mind.

"I suppose I'd better head off…" He sounded rather disappointed. I nodded, giving in to the inevitable. The space between us slowly closed as he made his way over to me. "It's been quite a day, hasn't it?"

I nervously ran my hand through my long hair and gave a soft chuckle. "Yeah, it sure had it ups and downs"

"So… I guess you'll be a bit busy tomorrow. What with the shopping and all" He placed both of his hands in his pockets and awkwardly shifted from one foot to the other.

I avoided his gaze as his beautiful green eyes were starting to make me dizzy and weak. "Yeah… I have a few other chores to do around the house as well" I mentally slapped myself in the face. Why did I just say that?

"Oh, you know what? I'm actually getting a piano delivered to my place tomorrow" He informed me, watching as my face lit up.

"Are you serious? You bought your own piano?"

"Err, not exactly… It's just something that's been in the family – and um yeah, now I'm getting it"

"Cool" I replied, smiling genuinely up at him. "Well, that'll keep you occupied"

He nodded slowly before walking over to pick his jacket up from my bed. "So… I guess I'll see you on Monday?"

I rolled my eyes and groaned. "Don't remind me… I seriously do have some homework that I need to complete by then"

I made sure that the coast was clear before I ushered Edward downstairs to the front door. The wind was blowing a gale outside, it sounded quite scary as it howled through the trees. We stood there staring at each other for a few seconds, deciding how to say goodnight. Edward was the one who made the first move. He stepped forward and bent down to hug me. I was surprised that when our faces got closer, he planted a soft kiss on my cheek. I couldn't help but grin like a fool as I hugged him tighter.

"Goodnight Edward" I said as I breathed in his scent.

"Goodnight to you too, Bella" His warm breath tickled my neck.

We gazed into each others eyes one last time before he turned and headed down the driveway to his Volvo. I smiled and gave him a wave before he got in the car and drove off. As I stepped back inside and locked the door behind me, I sighed happily and leant against the wall.

I was totally falling for Edward Cullen...
