A/N: GUYS, Y U NO COMMENT? I mean, I know you're reading it. And I'm not being like, "oh hey, leave # of reviews or else i won't post my next chapter!" ('Cause that's a bunch of bull, and I have standards, you know.) Seriously though. Would it kill any of you to leave a review saying, "Oh, that's funny!" or, "I liked it!" or, "More soon, please!" (Don't use those ones, or else I'll know you're cheap and can't think of anything yourselves. No offense.)
So, you know. Reviews are good. Four legs are bad. :P
Anyway, here's chapter 3! And thank you for your time!
A few days later, Jasper and Emmett were at home, as they both had the day off that day. They were playing Grand Theft Auto together on the Xbox.
Jasper was pretty into the game and almost didn't hear Emmett ask him a question.
"Why the fuck did you ask her out, bro?" Emmett had to ask again with a brief glance at his friend and roommate.
"It just... happened," Jasper replied without looking back at him. "She ran into my cart. But it wasn't to dinner or anything, just coffee."
Emmett paused the game and turned to look at Jasper. "Is this because you just need to get laid?"
Jasper made a face. "What the fuck? No!"
"I know someone who could help," Emmett said. "I mean. If you do need to get laid. If not, then I know someone else-"
"Christ Emmett!" Jasper got up quickly and dropped his controller where he was sitting. "I asked her out... because I thought I liked her."
Emmett started to say something else but stopped when their other roommate walked in the door, glaring at them.
"Pistol whipping more people?" he asked disdainfully before walking into his room without another word.
"Just be careful, bro," Emmett said before saving the game and shutting it off. He glanced at his watch and added, "I gotta go. I have to go meet up with my girl."
Jasper just nodded before walking into the kitchen, and right after he heard the front door close, he heard their other roommate yell loudly from his room.
"WHO WROTE ON MY BLACK UNDERWEAR WITH MY CHLOROX PEN?"
Jasper was getting restless in his apartment, and soon decided to take a walk outside. The sun was shining through the window, so he grabbed his sunglasses and keys before heading outside.
The intensity of the sun betrayed how cold it was, and so one Jasper got outside he was cold. He considered going back up to get a jacket, but then he decided that he could just get used to it.
For a while he just walked, without noticing where he was going, when suddenly he heard his name called. He turned to see his ex-girlfriend Fionna waving at him and crossing the street to come talk to him.
"Long time, no see," Fionna said with a smile when she got near him. He waited as she stopped to catch her breath.
"I've been busy," he replied.
"You still working catching dogs?"
Jasper nodded and started to walk again. He was quiet for a while, before looking at her when she reached to get something out of her backpack. He noticed that she had cut her blonde hair short, and that it just peeked out from below her knit hat. He remembered how long it had been while they were together.
"Anything new in your life?" he asked.
Fionna shook her head. "Nah, I've been too busy. What about you?"
Jasper hesitated before answering. "There's someone. Possibly."
"Oooh," she said as she looked at him. "Have you gone out with her?"
"No," Jasper replied.
"What's the hold up, then?"
Jasper thought for a minute. "I... haven't called her yet."
Fionna stopped him and grabbed onto his arm. "You should. If you don't call, she might forget about you."
Jasper sighed quietly, and started to walk again with Fionna as she changed the subject. They talked and walked for a while longer before Fionna had to leave. Looking at him, she stepped on her tip-toes and pressed a kiss to Jasper's cheek.
"You call that girl," Fionna said with a smile. "Now, I'll see you around, Jasper."
"Bye," Jasper said as she walked away. He continued walking before taking out his phone to look at the time. After hesitating, he opened his contacts on his phone and dialed Bella's number before he could stop himself.
"Hello?" Bella picked up after the third ring. He could feel his heard racing in his chest.
"Hi, Bella. It's Jasper."
"Oh, hi Jasper," Bella said. He could hear her breathe in sharply and curse. "Sorry, that wasn't directed at you."
Jasper nodded, even though it was a useless gesture. "I was wondering if you'd be free for coffee soon."
Bella was silent for a minute. "I have to work for the next couple days, so how about on Thursday?"
"That sounds fine," Jasper said with a smile.
They set up their coffee date, and when they hung up, Jasper felt as if he were in heaven. His mood wasn't even dampened by Emmett fighting with their other roommate when he got home.
As he laid down on his bed and closed his eyes, the only thing he could think of was Bella and how she moved up on stage at GLITTER. Suddenly, he had a date with Rosie Palms.
