Bella
"You know…" Jacob continued from his story. "I never though we'd meet again after last night. I mean everything was so perfect you know. That kiss was pretty immense wasn't it?"
I froze, and gasped as I realised what his words had meant. It was him. Jacob had been the one who had kissed me, Jacob had been the one that had made that hell of a night almost bearable. And it made sense as well. Jacob was the only person who I'd met properly, maybe I hadn't kissed anyone else….?
"Um…yea…wow. It really was wasn't it." I replied, trying to get my head round the truth. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. I mean, he was good looking...ish, but I thought that the best kiss of my life would have been from someone slightly cuter than that…
"Hey listen, I better be off now, but do you want to go out tomorrow night?" he asked, smiling hopefully. Normally I would flat out refuse to go out three nights in a row, but in this case, I was willing to make an exception.
"Sure! That sounds great!"
I tried not to sound too eager, but I couldn't really help myself.
"Cool. I'll pick you up around 7 then. See you tomorrow…"
He started walking towards the door, but Alice met him first.
"Hey! Um…it's Jason isn't it? You seem to match Bella's description pretty well."
I blushed scarlet, hating Alice for mentioning that. She was the one who had wanted all the details anyway! Jacob only laughed.
"It's Jacob actually…"
"Oh, well hey! I'm Alice, Bella's flatmate. Nice to meet you…"
He smiled at her, winked at me, and then set off towards the door. I was jumping inside, not believing how lucky I was, to go out with the guy who had made me fantasise all day…
"Wow Bella…he's quite cute!" commented Rosalie, setting down a sprite in front of me, and leaning into Emmett's shoulder.
I nodded, causing a giggle from Alice. Jasper just smiled meekly.
The rest of the night seemed to pass in a daze, and I actually had fun for a change. But it was made increasingly better by the thought of tomorrow night, and hopefully another kiss that would match the first…
Edward
Bored…oh so very bored. Next time Jasper asks me to go anywhere with him, I'll go…just for the sake of some entertainment…would make a change…
Bella
I was ready to go, after hours of manic preparation. Alice was obviously on a roll, and I looked pretty hot again, with a nice strapless black dress. She was a genius…
It was about 6:58, and I knew that he wouldn't arrive bang on seven, but I was still nervous. This was the date that I had waited for all my life…pretty much the first date ever, and definitely the first since I'd moved to the city. How pathetic was I? It was humiliating…
The doorbell rang, and I jumped a mile. "Relax Bella, you'll be fine." Whispered Alice in my ear, before shoving me out the door, where Jacob was leaning against his car.
"Hey!" he said happily, opening his car door for me. "You look really beautiful by the way…"
"Thanks!" I said, blushing again and sliding into the seat. "So where are we going?"
"This new little restaurant that's opened in town. Pretty nice, you'll like it. They do the most awesome cocktails…"
"Sounds good. But I'm not drinking at the moment."
"Why not?"
I stared at him, totally confused. "Did you not see me at that party? I was all over the place…"
"Oh…right..yea…um…forgot about that."
We spent the rest of the drive in silence, and I was starting to feel uncomfortable. Was my perfect guy not as perfect when it came to conversation… I guess I had just imagined differently, or maybe I was overreacting. He was probably just as nervous as I am…and I couldn't blame him. My heart was thumping manically, and I longed for this to work out, even if it was only for another perfect kiss…
"We're here," he said happily, and got out the car, not bothering to open my door for me. It was pretty stupid, but I loved little gestures like that. Trying not to let it bother me, I got out and walked with Jacob into the restaurant.
It seemed pretty nice, quite small, but cosy in a strange way. The hostess led us to a small booth at the back, and my heart jumped. He wanted somewhere private…maybe he was the guy he thought I was…or maybe I should stop over analysing everything.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
A couple of hours later, we were back outside my door, after an okay date. He was pretty nice, but he just didn't interest me, and their was no excitement there whatsoever.
"Well, this had been really fun," he said, looking at me sweetly.
Kiss me. Kiss me. Kiss me!
"It was…" I said, taking a quick step forward, hoping.
"I'll call you in the next day or two, yeah?" he said, swinging round to kiss me on the cheek. DAMN.
He left, and I returned to the flat, bitterly disappointed…
Edward
Three days after the party, Jasper cracked. I hadn't been myself, that was for sure. I spent the last few days in a state of imagination, either wondering who the girl was, or sulking because I knew I was never going to find her.
"Edward." Jasper said quite harshly. "Talk to me."
"Excuse me?"
"You've been acting really…weird since that party, and it's started to really get on my nerves. You gotta talk to me man, we used to be so close."
I sighed. It was hard not to tell Jasper everything, but advice on women wasn't really what I liked to talk to him about. Now that he had Alice, he thought he knew everything about love, when most of the time he got it all wrong.
"Alright…" I said slowly, planning the words in my head. "At that party, I met this girl…"
He sighed in relief. "Is that it? God I thought it was way worse than that… Has she not called you? Is that it?"
"No! She was totally drunk, and kind of threw herself at me, and we kissed. It was possibly the best moment of my entire life, and I don't even know who she is, or whether she remembers me or not."
I groaned, and Jasper raised is eyebrows. "Sheesh man, that's harsh. You'll get over it though…eventually."
"It's hard not to though. I can see her so clearly in my head…she had the most beautiful long, brown hair, and this red, tight, strapless dress on… She was totally gorgeous."
"Wait…" Jasper said, turning to me with his eyes wide. "Do you mean Bella?"
Thanks to all reviewers, I love you all loads!
Meeting in next chapter guaranteed :p
Till then…:]
