Another chapter what? Like I said it's just flowing today.

Enjoy

I got home putting the flowers on my nightstand. I'm still shocked by this surprise. It was the first time I ever received flowers. I had boyfriends before including a disastrous month with Mike Newton. Things ended quickly with him after I realized I wasn't quite his type. I was missing a cock. I realized this once I walked him on Mike and his friend Tyler going at it. I agreed not to tell anyone if he stayed the hell away from me.

I touched the smooth petals before remembering I had yet to thank him. I sent a quick text.

Thank you for the beautiful flowers. You didn't have to.

I looked at the time realizing it was already almost 4. Charlie would be home by 5 so I decided to start dinner. I worked on a simple dinner of spaghetti and garlic bread. Right at 5, Charlie walked in looking utterly exhausted. While he was in remission he needs to relax more. He disagreed. He hung up his gun belt before sitting in his chair. "Hey dad how was your day?" I asked putting a beer in front of him. He was allowed one a day which didn't thrill him but in was persistent. "It was good Bells. Training a new guy today. Seems promising."

"I don't remember hearing about someone new. Who is it?" I remarked putting a plate in front of him before sitting down with my own. Charlie took a few bites before answering. "Just moved here from Texas. Him and a few buddies. Name's Jasper Whitlock." I froze with the fork halfway to my mouth. Can't be the same guy can it? I quickly shake off the picture of the tall fair haired man in a uniform. "Oh really?" I manage out. "I wonder what brought him up here."

"Not sure. He mentioned he met his friends in college. They all decided to move together so they found jobs out here." Charlie said between bites. "You alright Bells?" He adds looking up at me. I nod. "Yep I'm good." I turn the conversation to the game on tonight he was sure to watch. We finish dinner and I send him to watch the game while I clean up. I head upstairs to read a book and relax. I spot my phone on the nightstand blinking.

I pick up the phone and run through the notifications. I see a text from Jasper and my heart leaps into my throat.

You're very welcome beautiful. I hope your day was well.

It was thank you. Just curious the note was signed JW. What's the W stand for?

I'm sorry I haven't properly introduced myself. Name's Jasper Whitlock. Very pleased to meet you.

It was him. The guy working with my dad. Well that's awkward. I ponder the pros and cons of dating someone who works with Charlie. Wait dating? I've barely met the man. Get it together Bella! 20 minutes passed while I pondered before my phone brought me back to reality.

Bella? Did I say something wrong?

No I'm sorry. My full name is Isabella Swan but please call me Bella.

Swan? Like Chief Swan?

Yeah he's my dad.

I wait for the rejection to follow. Who would want to date their bosses daughter? I was surprised to get a quick respone.

Well it's an honor to meet you Miss Swan. Your father speaks highly of you.

I'm surprised by his respond. It didn't even phase home finding out who I was. I was even more surprised to hear that Charlie speaks of me at work. Once again I got lost in my own head when my phone buzzed.

If I may be so bold, I was wondering if you were busy this weekend? I'd love to take you out on a date.

I think I died. This must be heaven. He actually want to take me on a date. I think he was just as much in shock he asked because the text was quickly followed by another.

I never even asked if you were single. I'm sure a girl like you has a boyfriend and you have just been being nice. I'll just curl up in a hole now.

Wait don't get in that hole yet! I'm single and I'd love to go on a date. I'm working on Friday but I'm free Saturday.

You just made my night beautiful. Saturday at 7?

It's a date :)

We spend the next few hours getting to know each other. I found out his friends Edward and Emmett are from Seattle. They went to Texas for college where they met Jasper. They've been inseparable since. Jasper was ready for a change so when the other two applied for jobs in Washington he did too. Edward was starting a job as a music teacher at the high school when school started in August. And Emmett would also work at the school next school year as a physical education teacher. I discovered Jasper was 26 having started late after serving 4 years in the Army. I told him about my simple life and growing up in Arizona.

Before long I realized it was almost 10. We had spent 4 hours talking. And I enjoyed every second. He told me he needed to try to get more sleep tonight and should go to bed. I bid him goodnight still on cloud nine after talking with him.

Around 11 I heard my phone go off, puzzled I look at it and see another text from Jasper.

I can't sleep Darlin'. Saturday is too long to wait to see you again. Please say I can see you sooner and soothe my mind.

God he's got me tangled up for him. I check my schedule before texting back.

I'm off at 4 tomorrow. Or free all day Thursday.

Tomorrow is perfect. Pick you up at 6? Please say yes. I'm begging Darlin' ;)

How do I say no to that? I can't wait. Now get some sleep cowboy.

Thank you beautiful. Off to dreams of my Ice cream girl.

And I to dreams of my cowboy.

And I did dream of him.

I love Jasper. He knows what he wants
