A stranger answered the door when Bella and Angela got to apartment Jasper had given them directions to. Strange Boy didn't say anything because Jasper came bounding up behind him and said "Bella, hey, come in. Hope you remembered to bring your suits or else you're skinny dipping!" They followed Jasper into the large room, there was a big television in one of those oversized entertainment centers, a big L shaped suede sectional with millions of pillows and a desk with a laptop and office chair.
Jasper said, "So who's this?" Bella piped up, "This is Angela- Ange this is Jasper" Of course Angela already knew his name and the details of her first meeting with this mystery copy guy. They nodded at each other.
Jasper pulled the stranger who had answered the door over to him by his collar, "This is Edward, my bro. He's shy".
Edwards's cheeks filled with cranberry red. He mumbled "Hey."
Jasper continued, "You girls ready to go sit in the hot tub?"
Bella and Angela hurried into the bathroom to change into their suits. They walked to the pool area nearby and soaked in the hot tub, playing some game involving twenty questions. Joked around about many things and talked about their lives in general. Jasper and Edward didn't seem like dangerous guys. Edward certainly was a mouse. Jasper was obviously interested in Bella, he wasn't able to take his penetrating jade colored eyes off of her. They walked back to Edward's apartment slowly enjoying the stars. Angela had tried to get Edward to talk, but he was too shy to carry on any sort of conversation. Angela had given up and started texting one of the guys they had met a few nights before.
Jasper had pushed Bella into a room to "wrestle" once they were back and changed back into regular clothing. Bella didn't have any bad feelings about him, she was actually a little intrigued by the sparkling emeralds under that crazy blonde surfer mop, he seemed to be genuinely interested in her, for more than just her looks. Angela came in the room about fifteen minutes after they had been rolling around exploring each other and teasing with light kisses. She had jumped onto the bed and laid between them, she said excuse #3 (they had established a list for situations just as this one); needing to go home because she had to work early. Bella was hesitant because in just those few minutes alone, she had realized that Jasper might not be so bad. A night with him could be a bit of pure bliss. Jasper looked like he wasn't going to allow her to leave. Perhaps he felt the same way: interested in seeing and feeling more.
After a few minutes of goodbyes; a light kiss on the cheek and a hug to both men, they were off. As Bella and Angela drove into the night, they guessed about whether or not he'd be in touch. Bella voted as 'definitely not', he didn't seem to be the kind of guy who was into girls like her. Angela shot her vote down, "He seemed like he really liked you. I'm sorry, I was just so bored, when he calls you; could you just go by yourself? That Edward guy is so boring. Jasper seems really cool though." Bella had agreed.
