The following week Jasper didn't get to go to the park. It rained a couple of days, then Rosalie had cheerleading practice and his mom had to work. By the end of the week it felt like a whole year had passed and he wondered if Edward remembered him. When Rosalie finally walked out of her room Jasper was hanging upside down from the couch waiting for her.

"Come on Jazzy let's go." Jasper kicked his feet over and jumped up. "How do I look Jaz, be honest." She stopped at the door and turned for Jasper to inspect her. Jasper thought for a moment and gave her a thumb up. "Then let's go, Jazzy baby."

Jasper ran to the back door of Rosalie's car and waited impatiently for her to catch up.

"Come on Rose! Edward gets lonely when I don't go to the park and I don't want him to leave."

"Okay, okay, hold your horses little cowboy," She said as she stuck her key in the ignition.

"Can we get ice cream again Rosie? Mom said if I was good I can have some." Jasper sat in his booster seat in the back of Rosalie's old Honda Civic.

"We could, but I had a surprise for you for after we left the park. Which one do you want? Ice cream or surprise? You can pick one."

"Can I have both if I'm really good?" Jasper put his hands together like an angel. He knew this was a weak point for his sister.

"We'll see you little manipulator." She laughed as she parked the car in front of the park.

"Look Rosie it's Emmett's big truck. Come on let's find them!" When they made it to the sand box Emmett and Edward were playing with Edward's favorite truck. Edward looked sad.

"Hey, Edward!" Jasper yelled as he got closer, Edward spun around and jumped to his feet in a hurry forgetting about his truck and his brother.

"Jazzy!" He ran to his best friend and wrapped his little arms around him. "I thought you weren't coming, we've been here for a long time, I think since yesterday."

"Come on buddy, hanging out with me wasn't that bad, was it?" Emmett asked standing behind Edward.

"He doesn't know how to play with my truck like you do Jasper, and his hands are too big." Emmett held out his hand and made a sad face at his brother that made Edward and Jasper laugh.

"Go on get out of here." He told the boys. "I have a pretty girl to impress." He said looking at Rosalie, who giggled at his flirting.

Edward and Jasper sat in the sand box and started to play. Jasper looked back at his sister sitting on a park bench with Edward's brother.

"Does Emmett want to marry Rosalie?" Jasper asked Edward. Thinking about the story his momma read about the prince and the princess that got married.

"No, he just likes pretty girls."

"But she's not a pretty girl. She's my sister."

"Then no, he only likes pretty girls. That's why he has them on his wall at home." Jasper turned to Edward wondering how in the world Emmett had pretty girls on his wall. Maybe his momma put them on a shelf like Jasper's momma did to his toy cars.

"Does he play with them?"

"No, he just kisses them."

"Does he want to kiss Rosalie?"

"I think so because he said she was pretty." Jasper looked at his friend's hair and wondered if he could kiss it because it was very pretty.

Jasper stood and walked over to Edward and kissed the top of his head. Edward turned and looked up at him.

"What are you doing?" Edward stood in front of Jasper.

"I think your hair is pretty." Edward thought for a moment then kissed Jasper's eyes.

"Your eyes are pretty, too." he said confidently. Jasper kissed Edward's eye as well because he thought they were a very pretty green, but not like a frog.

"Your eyes are pretty, too, but they don't look like Kermit." Edward sat down and Jasper followed his lead. Edward reached for his hand and pulled him closer to him and kissed him on the lips. Emmett and Rosalie sat on the edge of the sand box and called both Edward and Jasper over.

"Jazzy baby, what's going on?" Jasper smiled at her, he loved when his sister called him that.

"I kissed Edward's hair because it's pretty, that's what Emmett does with pretty girls." Emmett coughed.

"Why do you say that Jaz man?" Emmett asked Jasper.

"Because you like to kiss the girls in your room, you said they are pretty." Edward supplied.

"Are you going to kiss Rosalie too?" Jasper asked. Rosalie looked at Emmett expectantly. Emmett rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Okay, here's the deal," he said looking at Rosalie first then the two boys. "The girls on my bedroom wall are not real. They are real but they are nowhere near here. I know you two are too young to understand how all this works so I'll make it easy okay. When people like each other they show by kissing."

Edward and Jasper turned to each other and gave each other a kiss on the cheek. Emmett let out a frustrated breath.

"Let me try, Romeo." she said with a chuckle. "Jazzy baby, you know how momma and daddy kiss each other when they leave or when one of them comes home?" Jasper nodded. "Well that's how grown-ups show they love each other. When you and Edward are grown-ups you'll have someone that you will love and kiss to." She looked at both boys waiting for any sign of understanding.

"Can we play now?" asked Edward. Rosalie and Emmett looked at each other and nodded. They walked back to the bench and watched the boys play as they talked. That was the little push they needed for their relationship to start.

"I like kissing your hair Edward, its soft." Edward reached up and touched his hair.

"I liked kissing your eyes, they're soft too," Edward said without looking away from the pile of sand he was working on.

That was as far as that conversation went. The boys got so caught up in their playing they forgot all about kisses. But this would not be the last time they would share a kiss.
