Wanted
Chapter 1
Jasper
I hopped out of the shower: briefly drying my hair off with my towel, letting my blonde curls fall where they may. Walking over to my bed I examined the clothes Alice had told me to wear tonight. They weren't really something I would have picked myself. I tried to keep things pretty simple, but Alice has insisted I 'broaden my fashion horizons'. I rolled my eyes at the thought. Back when we were dating she had made it her mission to renovate my clothes. I dressed quickly in the slim grey slacks, blue, black and grey sweater with black dress shoes. I also slipped on the Rolex watch Alice had bought me for my birthday about three months ago. After I finished getting dressed, I headed downstairs into my living room and fell onto my leather recliner and turned on the game. I still had some time to kill before me and Alice were set to meet up. I popped out the foot rest on my chair and relaxed.
My phone started buzzing in my pocket, I sighed and put the game on pause and quickly fished out it out of my pocket. Alice had already called me a million times tonight, checking to make sure I wore what she wanted me to and not adding 'any stupid guy stuff.' I thought girls trusted their gay best friends fashion sense. I should be used to it by now but at times it still got extremely annoying.
"Hello?" I answered slightly exasperated with my friend. "What do you want now?" I huffed into my phone with no answer. I took the phone away from my ear to look at the screen. That was certainly not Alice's number. I made a mental note to set a special ringtone so I know for sure it's Alice I'm huffing at next time.
"Who is this?" the line was silent on the other line for another moment before a smooth voice answered.
"Hello, this is Edward…I'm Alice's brother. Sorry she told me to call you, uhmm Jasper is it?"
"Oh, sorry about that. This is Jasper. Can I help you with something?"
"No, well, yes. Umm Alice had to cancel for dinner tonight…"
I frowned I was really looking forward to seeing Alice tonight it had been a while since we'd been out together. We used to go out almost three times a week, now that she was in a new relationship I was lucky if I saw her maybe three times a month, I missed her.
"Oh, is she alright? Did something happen?" I replied slightly alarmed that if she had to cancel why she didn't call herself.
"Yes, yes she's fine. She said that an emergency at work came up. But she suggested that we could go out for a bite together, I thought that was a good idea. Of course only if you wanted to." He finished shyly. I considered it for a moment. I was pretty hungry, also I didn't feel like cooking for one tonight and I was already dressed. Even though I didn't know Edward, he was Alice's brother so I didn't see any harm in it. "Sure, should I meet you somewhere?" I asked.
"No, that won't be necessary I can pick you up. I'll be there in a minute, Okay?" he didn't give me time to answer before he hung up. How'd he know where I lived? Was this a date? More importantly was he hot?
Of course I knew Alice had a brother she'd mentioned him before but I'd never meet him or seen a picture of him. He had never come up much in our conversations much. I knew he was a doctor and around the same age as me. I tried to recall everything Alice had ever mentioned of her brother, but I found my memory lacking.
ALICE! I had to call her. I was going to give her hell for ditching me. I called her once, twice, three times and still no answer. I she was ignoring me on purpose. Something was amiss. Anyone who knew Alice knew that her phone was practically a part of the girl herself.
I was drawn out of my thoughts by a knock at the door. I looked down at my watch. I had just hung up with the guy less than ten minutes ago, he must drive fast. I shrugged, turned off my TV and headed to the door.
I swung open the door and nothing could have ever prepared me for the sight that stood before me. Standing in my door way was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. He looked like a Greek god. His bronze hair was sticking in every direction possible and he had the most amazing piercing emerald eyes. His lips were a perfect rosy pink and they were deliciously plump, just begging to be kissed. I wanted to take him right then and there. I wanted to run my fingers through his hair, and do extremely X-rated things to his body. I stopped my thoughts as quickly as I could before my body responded and gave me away.
I smiled at him "Hello Edward, nice to meet ya." I reached out my hand. He met me half way with a firm grip and in contrast a small shy smile. "Like wise Jasper." He replied. I loved the way he said my name, it sounded so good coming from his lips. What would they feel like against mines? He let go of my hand far too soon for my liking and nodded to himself as if I met some type of approval. I let it go for now.
"Read to go?" he asked. I nodded "Yeah," I said, stepping out into the chilled night with him. I trailed behind him to his car, a shiny silver Volvo. He almost walked to my side of the car to open my door for me which made me smile. Which made think of a thought I had earlier was this a date?
Alice usually told me when she was setting me up and I never really argued with her about it. After all she did date me so she definitely had good taste in gay guys, and it wasn't as if I was the most social guy in world. I usually spent most of my time grading papers and working out. Of course I didn't want to be alone, but dating was a pain in the ass. Most of the guys she set me up with were nice guys but none of them ever made it to a second date. I kind of just had my way with them then was gone… I wasn't a man slut really, I wasn't. I swear!
