Losing Friends and Keys

"Huh? Wait…What!? Back Track!"

"Look, man, I'm sorry, but I really like her and she's hot. You should meet Rosalie. You guys would get along. She's really nice." Emmett murmured quickly in an apologetic tone.

That's just great. Emmett was my best buddy and now he gets a girlfriend? Emmett and I would go to clubs and bars almost every weekend to get drunk, have fun, and pick up girls. Even on weekdays, I would go over to Emmett's place to play video games. Now he has a girlfriend. Rosalie. He's going to be with her all the time and not have any time to spend with me. That bitch is going to steal my best friend.

I sighed. Nothing can help him now. Once Emmett puts his mind to something, he doesn't let it go. Whenever we go party and a girl catches his attention, he'll go through whatever he needs to just to sleep with her. Man whore.

I shouldn't be thinking that, since I would practically do the same thing. We always have a competition, seeing who can get the hottest girl. He would hang around them and flirt. I, on the other hand, would just ignore them and use my charm and good looks to lure them in. My blond wavy hair, pale white skin, and emerald colored eyes, always do the trick. I try to look cool and not flirt, I hardly speak. That brings them to their knees.

I sighed again. "Okay, whatever. I'll meet her later. Just not today."

"Cool." He turned away to walk to class. He paused then looked back. "Thanks, Jazz."

I waved at him and turned to walk in the opposite position. I wasn't up for class today. I'll just skip. I won't miss anything important. I'm a pretty decent student anyway, especially in history.

I walked around campus for a while. I forgot where to go. My mind still blank from about twenty minutes earlier. I finally remembered that I was going to the parking lot. Idiot.

I found my way to my black 2009 Acura TSX. My dad is one bad ass lawyer, so he got it for me for a birthday present. I reached in my jacket pocket for my keys, but felt nothing.

What the hell?

I searched all my pockets, but only found a few pieces of gum, some change, and a lighter.

That's just perfect. I lost my keys. First I lose Emmett, then I lose my keys, what's next? Ughh…

I started back tracking my steps, looking all around. I know they're on campus. I was playing with them in my pocket when I was talking to Emmett.

I kept searching the ground with every step I took. About ten minutes rolled by and I still couldn't find them. Where the fuck are they? Did someone find them? I continued to search.

Another five minutes went by in my investigation for my missing keys. I was desperate now. I got down on my hands and knees and crawled on the nicely cut lawn. I really am an idiot.

Thankfully no one was around, from what I could see. They would think I was crazy (which I probably was). I kept my head down and crawled forward.

"Ouch!" I shrieked.

My hand ached in pain as a red shoe print appeared on it.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you down there." A pure velvet voice replied evenly.

I looked forward. Whoever this person was, they were wearing boots. Ouch!

"Are you alright?" The beautiful, unfamiliar voice questioned.

Drawn to the voice, I look up slowly, examining every inch of the person in front of me. I found their head and our eyes met. He was fairly tall and muscular, but slender, with bronze colored hair and mossy green eyes. He was wearing a short sleeve black shirt, in November. His short sleeves exposed his pale white skin. He had long arms and nice muscles.

What a beautiful man.

What the fuck Jasper!? Don't you dare think like that!

I shook my head slightly to get those thoughts out of my head and looked back up at him. Concern showed on his face.

"I-I'm fine," I lied. I felt like I just slammed my hand in a car door.

The guy glanced down to my hand and worry shot across his face. I looked down to my hand and noticed it was bright red. I lifted my head up to see him again and was surprised that he was crouching down in front of me. He's fast.

He took my hand with his icy one. It felt like a bolt of electricity went through my body when he touched me. He slowly rubbed the back of my hand with his thumb. Blood rushed to my cheeks and my heart started beating faster.

Jasper! Don't get flustered over him! In case you haven't noticed, he's a guy. He has a….

I shook my head again before I finished the thought. The guy saw me and noticed what I did. He quickly separated his hand from mine. Did he know what I was thinking? Did he see my cheeks turn red?

He stood back up and extended a hand towards me to help me off the ground. I took it with my good hand and he helped me to my feet.

"Thanks," I said, showing him a small, but sincere smile.

He just stared at me. A few seconds went by and I wanted to know what he was looking at.

"Is there something on my face?" I question.

"N-No. You're perfect." My eyes widen in astonishment. Was this guy into me?

He saw my reaction and quickly spoke again. "I-I mean, you look perfectly fine. There's nothing on your face." I could see him blushing. Maybe my looks attract both girls and guys... Interesting.

"Is your hand okay? I'm sorry I wasn't looking. What were you doing down there anyway?" He spoke as his cheeks turned back to their original color.

"I lost my keys." I admitted.

His eyes lit up and sparkled. "You mean these?" He pulled out something from his jean pocket and handed it to me.

I gasped. "You found them!" I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to ever get into my car or my apartment ever again. I was practically jumping up and down with glee. I was on the brink of hugging this gorgeous creature, but that would be too awkward. I didn't even know him. I had never seen him in my life.

"Yeah, I found them over there by the tree," he exclaimed pointing to the far tree. I should have known. That's where Emmett and I were talking. Dumb ass! "By the way, I'm Edward," he announced while holding out his hand.

I took his hand in mine. "Jasper."

"It's nice to meet you, Jasper."

I smiled brightly. This time, he looked dumbstruck. He held my hand for a while and didn't let go. To get him to come back to earth, I squeezed his hand slightly and he gasped. He quickly let go of my hand.

"Um…I really am sorry about your hand," he murmured.

"It's fine. It's not broken or anything, so you can stop apologizing."

This time, instead of blushing, a smirk formed on his face. "How 'bout I make it up to you? It looks like you're not going to class today. Coffee? My treat."

I thought for a moment. I wasn't going to class today and I definitely didn't want to go home. Where was I going to go if I wasn't going home? I have nothing better to do anyway. Also, this guy was going to buy me coffee. I'll take advantage of him.

"Yeah, sure."

Sorry, it's short and rushing into things, but I'm still working on it! Reviews make me happy!
