BPOV

It's been two whole weeks. Two weeks since I moved out of my shared apartment with Angela. Two weeks of being Edward free, two weeks of getting to know my new roommate Alice and two weeks of Flirting with Jasper at the gym.

The gym was surely becoming my home away from home. I finally had my tone body back and feeling a hell of a lot better about myself too. I'm sure it was more of Jasper's doing than the machines. It felt good to know I was attractive through someone else's eyes again. I never realized how much I missed flirting until I met Jasper. I never realized what a strong impact it had. It was crazy, just a wink, a smirk or a few kind words had my heart fluttering and my face red with color.

I almost forgot what it felt like to feel wanted, it's been so long.

I loved Jasper's honesty. We barely spoke more than a few sentences during our run ins at the gym, just basic stuff like, planning what days we were going to work out and time so we could see each other again or commenting on how our day was going or that we had a good work out that day, just everyday stuff. I didn't know much about Jasper from our little encounters but I could tell he was a decent guy. I know it might sound weird, but with some people you could just tell and Jasper was definitely worth the effort in getting to know better.

Jasper stayed true to his gentleman ways, always opening the door for me when we entered or left the gym, he would even ask if I wanted him to get me a drink when I was having a really intense work out. He was very sweet and considerate.

What more could you want?

I appreciate Jasper's subtle hints of attraction to me but I was growing more anxious as the days went, curious why he had yet to ask me out. Frustrated, when it came time to leave and Jasper would smile sweetly but never ask me out. I started to worry I might have misread his actions from the start, that his feelings weren't as strong for me as I hoped. I was ready to move on and I wanted Jasper to be that guy I just hoped he did too.

Why can't he just ask me out already?

Lying on my stomach on Alice's bed, I eyed her in curiosity as she searched her shelves for a movie to watch.

"How do you stand being with a girl, what do you get out of it honestly?"

Alice stopped her hand movements turning around to face me.

"I mean everything you do with a girl sexually you can do yourself." I stated as Alice turned back to her shelves rescanning them.

"It's the same with a guy." She argued.

I shook my head in disagreement even though she couldn't see it, too busy trying to find a good dvd to watch.

"No you can't, guys are different. You can't man handle yourself with rough, strong hands. You need a guy to grab you, push you hard against their built body, taking control. Hear their rough voice sending shivers down your spine, smell their manly scent…" I stopped short seeing Alice's strange expression.

"It's been awhile since you gotten any, hasn't?" She voice from her spot holding the winning dvd in her hand.

I let out a defeated sigh.

"Is it that obvious?" I asked blushing slightly embarrassed at my sex ramble.

Alice giggled taking a seat next to me on the bed. "How long has it been?"

"Umm, six months." I confessed watching as Alice's eyes grew big.

"What are you waiting for? You're hot." She praised giving my shoulder a little nudge.

"I don't know, I just don't want to get hurt again, I promised myself I would be in a promising relationship the next time I have sex, and so far no guy has been worth it."

Alice raised her eyebrows at my statement.

"What about that guy at your gym?"

"What about him?"

Alice rolled her eyes.

"Come on, you won't shut up about him, all I hear is Jasper this and Jasper that. It's obvious you like him."

I gave a weak shrugged at the mention of Jasper's name, not wanting to talk about it. I knew if I talked about it I would stress over the whole stupid issue of him not asking me out and wonder why.

"He's hot, I'm not going to lie, but it takes more than looks to get my attention. And he doesn't seem to want anything other than a workout friendship. Its fine, maybe it's for the best."

He's probably seeing someone anyways.

I doubt a great guy like him would be single.

Alice let out a sigh before responding.

"Oh please, Bella I'm not buying it. I know you like him more than you led on and if this Jasper has done half the flirty things that you said he's done, trust me, the feeling is mutual. Maybe, he's shy; there are some shy guys out there you know?"

"I don't know." I voiced deep in thought.

"Trust me I do. If he's sees what I'm looking at, he will definitely be asking you out, and I mean that and a totally non come on way."

I had to laugh. Alice was worried I would think she was hitting on to me. I was over that hurdle. I actually expected Alice's praises, it was who she was. She loved complimenting people. I think it gave her a rush to see the person's face light up if only for a few seconds, to know it was her that made them feel good in that moment. Though I think she preferred to be the one admired more, like most girls.

I was working out like I did every other day. As usual Jasper greeted me at the door with a smile on his face, looking happy to see me. I returned his smile giving him a small nod in acknowledgment before heading off to my machine.

I was in the middle of my workout in the zone as I cranked up the level of my treadmill which was right next to Jasper. I wasn't really into the treadmill but it was prefect for Jasper and I to communicate back and forth even though we didn't even really talk during our workouts, I guess I was being hopeful.

I glanced over at Jasper commenting on how the machine was kicking my ass expecting his cute smirk to cover his face or give me a compliment but he didn't.

I'm not afraid to admit it, I have cornered Jasper into complimenting me sometimes but it was up to him to respond, he didn't have to but he usually did compliment me. I know it probably sounds like a desperate thing to do, to urge a person to compliment you, but it wasn't like I had much going on in my single life at the moment, most of the time Jasper complimented me without me even saying anything to encourage him to do so.

However today was different. Jasper looked to be deep in thought, as he jogged away on his machine. I pouted at his lack of response going back to my own workout.

So much for communicating.

Maybe it all really is just in my head?

Once I had enough of the killer machine I grabbed my stuff ready to go.

"Jasper, I'm going to go, but I'll see you next week." I voiced somewhat disappointed getting off my treadmill.

Something suddenly snapped in Jasper, he looked panic at my words of departure and quickly stopped his machine, giving me his full attention for the first time of the day.

"Wait, Bella."

I stayed in my spot anxious what Jasper was going to do as he walked over to me.

"I'll walk you out." He voiced taking my work out bag for me.

"You don't have to." I replied weakly, loving that Jasper wanted to spend time with me.

I blushed as Jasper opened the door for me.

"Ladies first."

He's so sweet and that accent is just icing to the cake.

It was an awkward walk to my car, silence filled the air, my inner thoughts were shouting at me to say something. Jasper handed me my bag. I put it in my passenger seat, turning around to thank Jasper for his help to see him leaning against the edge of my car with a nervous look on his face.

"So listen, I was wondering if you wanted to maybe, grab a bite to eat tomorrow night, I mean if you want?"

Really?

Are you kidding? Of course!

I was in total shock. I couldn't believe he was finally asking me out. I was calm and collected on the outside but freaking out on the inside.

"Sure, I would love too."

The smile that spread to Jasper's face at that moment took all my worries away and melted my heart all at the same time.
