A/N: Jasper convinced Bella to let him take her out. What will happen?
I do not own anything Twilight related.
Bella's POV
Jasper was supposed to pick me up for our date in an hour and I was sitting on my bed as Alice and Rose tried to dress me for said date. They had insisted on coming over as soon as I told them what had happened when we talk earlier in the day. They were buzzing around my bedroom, bouncing back and forth from my dresser to my closet occasionally throwing something at me to try on.
"You know, it would really help if I knew what the two of you will be doing," Alice said, placing her hands on her hips.
"I don't know what we're doing Alice. I didn't even expect a date this soon," I replied as she threw my long tan skirt at me.
"Put this on," she demanded, walking over to my dresser and opening the drawer where I kept my shirts. She pulled out a low cut short sleeve light blue top. "This too," she said tossing it my way.
"I want the white lace tank in the top drawer if I'm wearing this," I told her. She knew me well enough to know I didn't do low cut tops by them selves.
She pulled the tank out of the drawer and tossed it to me on my way to the restroom to change.
As soon as I walked back into my bedroom I was ushered to my desk chair where Alice and Rose began primping me for my date. After about twenty minutes of that the doorbell rang. Saved by the bell, thank you.
I stood to go answer my door when Alice pulled me back down to the chair. "You're not done, Rose will get the door," she ordered.
I thought I looked fine. She had already put more make-up on me than I wanted and my hair fell down my back in ringlets of curls. I didn't look like me.
"Al…"
"I know Bells, this isn't you and it is you. I just played up your best qualities a little," she said, cutting me off as she hugged me to her pixie-like frame.
"Thanks Alice," I said, standing this time she let me go and followed me to the living room.
Jasper was standing in front of the door waiting for me.
"You look nice, " I complimented. He was wearing a pair of dark jeans with a black button up shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows and his cowboy boots.
"Thanks," he said taking a step towards me. "You look beautiful, Bella," he commented.
"Thank you," I said, staring at Jasper.
Alice cleared her throat to get my attention, which broken Jasper and my eye contact.
"Um, Jasper these are my best friends, Rosalie Hale," I said gesturing towards the couch where she was now sitting.
"Hello," she replied, smiling.
"And I'm Alice Brandon, it's nice to meet you," she said excitedly offering her small hand.
"It's nice to meet you both," Jasper drawled with thick southern accent.
Alice smirked as she looked from me then back to Jasper. "So where are the two of you off to tonight?" she inquired.
Jasper looked at me and smiled. "How do you feel about dinner and a movie?" he asked.
"Sounds great to me," I replied, giving him a smile.
Jasper smiled in return and his dimples made an appearance as his smile grew wider.
"Ready?" Jasper asked, holding his hand out to me.
"Yeah," I said, taking his hand. I turned to Alice before walking out the door. "Lock up when you guys leave."
Alice smiled.
"Have fun Bells," Rose bellowed as I shut the door behind me.
Jasper and I walked to the jeep that was parked in front of my apartment and he opened the door for me.
"Thank you," I replied as I got in and he shut the door behind me.
Jasper got in and we left for the restaurant. A short time later we pulled up in front of a little Italian place. Jasper got out of the Jeep and walked around and opened the door for me again. He was such a gentleman.
Inside the restaurant the hostess led us to a booth towards a dimly lit area in the back. I slid into the booth and Jasper mirrored my actions on the other side. Two menus were sat in front of us.
"Your waitress will be with you in a moment," the hostess said, before retreating back to her podium by the door.
Jasper and I sat in silence reviewing the contents of the menu. When the waitress, an older women with silvery black hair, finally got to the table we were both ready to order.
"What can I get you?" she asked, facing me.
"Um, I think I'll have the Chicken Carbonara and a coke."
"And for you?" she asked, turning to Jasper.
"The linguini with clam sauce and a coke as well," he replied, easing into that southern drawl, and handing the waitress our menus.
"How was your day?" Jasper asked as she walked away from the table.
"Well I woke up with a stranger in my bed this morning," I teased.
"Yeah? How'd that work out for ya? He wasn't a big weirdo was he?"
I laughed. "I think it's working out fine and he's not a weirdo, I'm finding him to be quiet the gentlemen."
"Gentlemen, huh? Sounds pretty weird to me, you don't find too many nowadays," he replied with a smile and a wink.
I smiled back. "So what kind of music do you like to listen to?" I asked.
"It usually depends on my mood. I've found that there's a song for every mood and emotion you feel," he admitted, revealing that dimpled smile that made you want to melt.
It was odd because I felt the same way. I could listen to just about anything as long as it 'spoke' to me in some shape or form. Maybe there was more to this than just friendship or maybe there could be more to this.
When we finished our dinner Jasper paid the check and we left for the movie.
"So what are seeing," I asked, curious.
"If I told you then it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?" he replied with a sly smile.
Jasper pulled into the lot of the theater and parked the jeep in the closet empty space to the building. He got out and was around the jeep to open my door before I even got my belt unfastened. He helped me as I got out then shut the door behind me.
"Thank You," I told him.
We walked in and up to the window to get our tickets.
"Two for Terminator," he said, sounding a bit embarrassed.
"Really?" I asked, trying to mask my enthusiasm. I had wanted to see the new Terminator movie since I saw the trailer a week ago. I had seen all of the others. I had a soft spot for a good sci-fi movie and this just happened to fall into that category. "I've been wanting to see this for almost a weeks," I told Jasper as the grin spread across my face.
"Yeah?" he asked, letting out the breath he was holding.
It appears that we share yet another thing in common. "Absolutely!" I exclaimed, making my enthusiasm now more evident. I grabbed his hand and drug him to the refreshment counter.
"Order whatever you want, Bella," he told me as we waited in line.
"What can I get you?" the cashier asked.
"Um, a large popcorn and two medium drinks," I told her.
"Coming right up," she replied smiling.
She sat them down in front of me and I thanked her. I picked up the bucket of popcorn and went to add butter while Jasper paid the cashier.
"Ready?" Jasper asked, bringing the drink over to me.
"Yeah," I smiled up at him.
Jasper and I walked to the theater playing the new Terminator flick just as the lights were dimming and grabbed some empty seats in the middle section of the theater. In true Terminator spirit the movie was full of action, which I loved because it was taking my mind off of other things. I was so thankful that Jasper hadn't taken me to some sappy romantic chick flick that would've been horribly uncomfortable given my frame of mind right now.
Half an hour into the movie and half a large coke later my bladder was screaming for relief. I excused myself to use the restroom before my bladder had the chance to explode. When I finished using the restroom I decided that I wanted a box of junior mints before going back into the movie. As I was walking down the hall towards the theater someone caught me by the wrist. Thinking it was Jasper I spun around to face him but the smile quickly faded away as I saw who was standing in front of me.
Reviews are much appreciated.
