36. Chapter 36

Day 17, post 8. Disclaimers—yep—they still apply. This is the last one of the day ... but the first one tomorrow will be a lot longer than normal, because we are fitting in a small talk between Alice and Bella, about how Alice met Jasper.

Chapter: 36

His eyes widen as if he's in shock. "What? No! I only want to help you. I know you're planning on coming back. I was going to bring some of the girl's over and have them show you the ropes. Maybe even help you with a decent outfit—something that will blow Edward's socks off."

I frown at him. "Edward?"

He chuckles. "Mr. Cullen's first name is Edward. For the record, Miss, my name is Jasper."

I nod before frowning again as he stands there grinning at me. "Look, Jasper, I am sorry but ... I'm sure you're nice and all but ..."

He shakes his head at me, cutting me off. "Look, Miss ..."

"Bella," I interrupt him.

A/N: So Jasper wants her to blow off Edward's socks. Think he is as nice as he seems?

So on behalf of Nikky and I, we have to say a HUGE thanks to whoever it was that just pimped us out in their author's note. THANK YOU whoever you were. The reviewer did not say who, just said it was recommended in an author's note.
