Chapter Two

APOV

"You'll never guess what just happened…." I said as she answered the phone.

She sounded pretty annoyed, "Where the hell are you, Alice? The meeting is in 5 minutes."

"I'm four minutes away, Rose! But I have a very very good excuse as to why I'm late." I replied.

"It better be freaking amazing," she said. I could tell she was smiling, even through the phone.

"I ran into Jasper!" I squealed excitedly.

"Who is Jasper?" she questioned.

"The guy who saved my life yesterday! Remember, when you made me laugh so hard I almost choked to death? Yeah, well, I ran into him again!"

"What? That is so…"

"Weird? Fate? Destiny? Outstanding? Amazing? Unbelievable?" I questioned, happily.

She laughed. "Yep, what are the chances of that?"

I just giggled and I HATE giggling. What is this boy doing to me?

"I asked him out to dinner and he said yes!"

She hesitated before saying, "Sweetie, you know I'm happy for you and all… But what about Edward?"

And just like that, my happiness was shattered. I begin to feel guilt, and I really didn't want Jasper to be associated with Edward in any way, not even in a conversation.

I sighed. "What about him, Rose?"

"He is your boyfriend, this might qualify as cheating, you know?"

By this time, I had already entered the lobby of our office building, so I just said, "I know, Rose, I'll see you in a minute."

I feel a bit guilty in admitting that I haven't really thought about Edward since yesterday, since Jasper saved my life. I know, he kind of qualifies as my boyfriend, but I have never felt this way about him—this happy and giddy. That really says something, right?

Does this qualify as cheating? Am I a cheater?

I've been thinking of breaking up with Edward for at least a month. And we have only been going out for six. We are so much better suited as friends. I don't feel the passion with him. I barely know Jasper, but I already feel so much more.

Rose interrupted my train of thought when I ran into her.

"I'm going to call him later. This might qualify as cheating, but Edward is so boring! All he does is whine and complain and brood. I can at least go out with Jasper and see what I feel, right? It doesn't totally make me a bad person. It's not like I plan on sleeping with him or anything. Just a nice dinner with no strings! Yeah, this isn't so bad. I'm just going for dinner with the guy who saved my life. That's it, no strings." I was talking myself into being bad.

"We'll talk about this later. Let's just get this meeting over with!" Rosalie said.

After the meeting was over, I returned to work and tried to keep being cheerful and excited about Jasper. I was trying to decide when the best time to call him would be when my phone rang.

I got excited for a second, then remembered that I hadn't given Jasper my number.

"Hello?" I answered, in a very chipper voice, even though I really didn't want to have this conversation.

"Hey baby. I was calling to ask if you wanted to grab a bite to eat tonight?" Edward said over the phone.

I so did not want to, but maybe I could just break up with him and avoid this whole mess. So I quickly decided to just go and get it over with. I was such a bad person.

"Sure. Pick me up at seven."
