Deleted Chapter 2

!Avelyn's first dance!

If you've read book one you already know Avelyn doesn't dance.

I thought it'd be cute to have her fist ever dance with Ed after they'd kissed but I couldn't find a way to just slip that into the plot.

So um.. enjoy?

Edmund's eyes lit up when he saw Avelyn walk back into the ballroom after she'd walked out with Lucy into the hallway.

He didn't know what the girls had to talk about nor why they had to do it away from the party.

He sheepishly gave her a smile when she met his eyes. The girl excused herself from Lucy and walked toward Edmund, smiling at some of the guest who greeted her.

"Where did you go?" He asked as he pushed himself away from the wall he was leaning against

"Oh we just had to talk" Avelyn tucked her hair behind her ear "about um, something"

"What exactly is 'something'?" Edmund asked as he put his hand on her waist.

"Just" Avelyn was hesitant to tell him that Lucy was in fact asking about their kiss. She was busy thinking of an excuse that she wasn't aware that she'd let Edmund take her one hand and drape it on his shoulder while he gently held her other hand in his.

"We were talking about the um- stars" she came up with a stupid answer "yea, that's it"

"The stars?" Edmund laughed as he began to sway to the music, Avelyn unconsciously following  "and you needed to leave the party for that?"

"Well ye- wait" Avelyn looked around and halted "I don't know how to dance Ed"

"Weren't you just doing it?" The boy chuckled "don't think too much"

"If I left the thinking to you" Avelyn looked up at him "we'd both be dead"

"Oh hush" the boy shook his head as he tried to hold back that smile creeping to his face "alright, come here"

The boy guided her through the crowd and lead her to the balcony they always seemed to end up at.

He pulled her close enough till their noses touched, wrapping one arm around her waist again.

"Better?" He smirked as he looked down at the girl blushing furiously

"Not yet" she whispered

"What do you mean i- mmh"

Avelyn went on her toes and pressed her lips against his, swiping her tongue on his bottom lip, smiling slightly into the kiss before pulling back.

"Much better now" she smiled shyly while Edmund chuckled and bent down to kiss here again before they began to sway to the music and laughed each time Avelyn tripped.

"Told you dancing is fun" the boy said in between their fits of laughter as Avelyn tripped again over the skirt of her gown.

"It's only fun because I'm dancing with you" Avelyn giggled.

"Obviously" Ed grinned "I'm the best"

"Shut up you-"

Avelyn tripped again, this time causing them to fall over which resulted in both of them laughing for a good 10 minutes as they stayed on the ground, since they couldn't get up with the way their stomachs hurt from laughing too much.
