A/N: The morning after the party. The story will pick up some speed in the next chapter, I think. I'm using this inspiration for what it's worth in the beginning of my fall quarter.

Ch 4: Bathing Suit Blues
My dream that night after the party was strange. I was in my kitchen boiling a pot of water only wearing a pair of bathing suit bottoms. When I walked into my family room, I saw two things on my couch, one of them being a basket of laundry that needed to be folded. At the other end of the couch was Jasper in the outfit he had been wearing earlier. I covered my chest in embarrassment the instant before I heard my phone vibrate. I made a mental note to search for a dream web site before I answered.
"Hello?"
"You didn't tell me your sister's boyfriend is Edward Cullen," some guy accused.
"Who is this?" I had just woken up and was still severely groggy.
"It's Jasper, darlin'." Whoa. Weird.
"How did you get my number?"
"As it turns out, my sister is dating Edward's brother. She introduced me to Edward last night. Your sister wasn't around at the time I met him, and he was absent when she came over to rescue you from me." He chuckled at that last part and I was reminded of how Bella had reacted to Jasper. I didn't like it.
"I'm so sorry about her. She's just become a bit overprotective of me over the past few years. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
He chuckled a bit harder at hearing that. "Well, you could let me know if you have any plans tomorrow. I was kind of hoping I could show you something."
"Am I to know what the something is?"
"I'm afraid I cannot tell you that. But I can tell you it's something I think you'll like." Maybe it was just me, but I thought I heard a hint of innuendo in his tone; and that left me excited and breathless. "See you at two tomorrow?"
"Definitely," I breathed. I heard him snicker on the other end.
"See you tomorrow."
"Bye." I had several different emotions inside me at once after I hung up. Wonderment at how Jasper got my number, embarrassment of how my voice betrayed me to him, and, above all, excitement that I would get to see him tomorrow.

It wasn't until later that night that we both realized we had no idea where we were meeting. I began to get a little suspicious when he said that I could come over to his house. I told him so.
"Don't worry," he laughed. "My parents will be home all day. You can even have my father whip me into shape if I misbehave if you want."
Again, after hanging up, I was filled with excitement at seeing him. And I couldn't wait until two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
