"I didn't know you had a girlfriend Jasper," Lauren commented in a small voice as I walked back out to join everyone in my uniform of all black.
Peter smiled and rested his hands my shoulders, "You could say it's a relatively new relationship, but if you've known him like I have you'd say he's been in one since the fifth grade."
A couple people laughed as Kess messed up my hair with a smile. "Yeah, yeah Kess. You're really enjoying this aren't you?"
Peter nodded, "Yeah I am because I love to say I told you so."
"What's her name Jasper?" Lauren asked.
"Bella," I smiled at her receiving one back.
"That's a pretty name," was her response before heading over to the host podium.
Peter and I headed over to my section but not before I patted Tom's shoulder with a smile who returned it with a slight glare. Peter looked a little confused as I laughed wrapping my apron around my waist. I shook my head with a smile, "Bella was in here for dinner last night and Tom was her waiter, needless to say he didn't like me showing up."
"You're going to have trouble with her," Peter laughed. "Bella has almost always been a babe. Better watch that little green button."
"You know Kess, that doesn't help much." I chuckled and soon people started coming in almost like a flood. It happened like this almost every time. Great, I thought as Lauren seated the first group of people in my section. Peter rolled his eyes as I went off to start a round of drinks. It was nice older couple with what I assumed were their grandkids and gladly they were well behaved.
Time was flying by and I was grateful for it because all I wanted to do was go home and sleep. I looked at the clock closest to me noting I only had about another hour or so to go when Lauren seated a couple that I didn't want to deal with in my section. I groaned and held back waiting for Kess to show up. I nodded my head to him and he came over with a smile.
"What's up man?" He asked, noticing my annoyed expression.
"Can you cover 32?" I asked not glancing at the table because I didn't really want to be noticed.
Peter turned his head toward the table and nodded his head right away. "I wouldn't want to serve the prick either. I'll do it man, they're on the edge of my section anyway."
I thanked him and went to check on my other tables making sure I avoided them as best I could. I could help the anger I felt for him for what he said to Bella yesterday and how he just keeps coming in and acting like what he did was nothing. I only had ten minutes left, ten fucking minutes so I could get my stuff and leave. I looked around from the station and saw Alice trying to catch someone's attention, Peter was busy I was free and no one else could cover. I stalked over and forced a smiled just to be polite without getting in trouble from the boss.
"Jasper?" Edward asked surprised.
"Can I get you something? Or are you finished?" Noticing their empty plates.
"We're done thanks," Edward smirked. "Just the check is fine."
My ground my teeth together with a nod before taking their plates and heading to get his fucking bill. Peter came over and patted my shoulder, "Get going, our shifts are done. I'll take it over, just ignore the asshole."
I walked through the back and grabbed my stuff not even bothering to change. My truck rumbled to life and I just sat in the front seat pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration. After a few deep breaths I was calm and I heard my phone ring, my mood instantly brighten at my caller ID.
"Hey Bells," I greeted.
"Hey Texan," she giggled. "Angela was wondering if we want to join her and Ben for a movie tonight?"
I could picture her biting her lip with that same worried look she always gets. "Do you want to go?"
"I wouldn't have asked dummy," she teased. "We are seeing Sucker Punch or something."
I chuckled, "What time do you want me to pick you up?"
"Is eight okay?" she asked.
"Perfect, I'll see you then."
"Tell your dad I say hi."
Dad was watching a basketball game when I walked in the house and I joined him in the living, deflating on the couch. He gave me a glance for a second before turning to me completely, here we go. "She left her jacket here," he commented first.
I looked on the untouched chair on the other side of the couch and noticed her black hoodie that I discard before putting her to sleep. "I'll give it to her tonight, when I meet up with her and Angela."
Dad nodded slowly, "It's nice to know you two slept in separate rooms-"
"Dad-"
"Let me finish," he said looking at me. "I don't know what happened between you two, and quite frankly I'm not sure I want to know. Jasper these years have been hard on all of us, especially since we lost Ellen and Maggie at the same time... but if she makes you happy then fine. I just don't want to see the two of you ignoring each other all over again."
I nodded, my jaw clenched holding back tears. He rarely talks so casually about that… "Ok Dad."
Then he cleared his throat, "And Jasper just… be safe… you know, when that happens… I'm sure it will-"
"Whoa! Dad I got it, relax we're taking it slow," I said standing up.
Dad cleared his throat again and nodded his head. "Good then, go get ready for your date."
I watched him return his attention to the game as I retreated up the stairs. Once in my room I leaned against my door and sat on the beige carpet floor. My breathing picked up as I held my stomach like it would hold me together. He never brought them up, he never made reference in anyway. Never this early in the week at least, and never has he touched that chair. I took a few rugged deep breathes to pull myself back together before getting to shower and change. Tonight will be interesting.

Jasper's smile is gorgeous and definitely contagious, his smile brightens everyone's face but tonight something was hiding behind it. I could see it though he was doing a damn well job of hiding it. After the movie Jasper walked next to me to the truck with his hands in his pockets. My arm weaved through his while my other hand rubbed his arm soothingly. When we got to the truck he turned and leaned against the door, looking at me.
"You could always tell couldn't you? When no one else noticed, you did," he sighed, looking down toward the ground. "I'm sorry Bella."
I shook my head, "Don't apologize to me. What's wrong?"
Jasper's eye met mine, I watched them start to water slightly. "It was one of the first times I had ever heard my dad talk about the accident so casually in a long time. Normally he'll mention it before he leaves but never when he first comes back. It just threw me off I guess."
I hugged him close and his face went into my hair as my hands rubbed down his neck. He pulled away slightly and kissed me lightly. I gave him a small smile as he helped me in the truck before letting it purr to life. There was a comfortable silence between us as we drove toward my house, my mind circling everything that has happened between us.
"How did everything with Rose go?" he asked lightly, breaking me from my thoughts.
I let out a shaky laughed, "Oh so great. I think she wanted to kill me."
"What did you tell her?" he asked.
"I told her that I've been hanging out with you," I shrugged. "She seemed to lighten up a little bit once I said that, but it brought a whole other round of teasing."
"That turned out then," he commented before coming to a stop in front of my house.
"She wanted to doll me up tonight, thinking this was date." I smiled nudging his arm lightly.
He smiled, "Well I have an idea of when she could doll you up."
I looked at him curiously before he leaned forward and kissed me lightly. I smiled as he pulled away. "You know this was only supposed to be in front of people we know."
"I know you, don't I?" he teased with a smile. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him.
"Come to Homecoming with me," he said without missing a beat. "It'd be perfect."
I bit my lip unsure of what to say, I wanted to say yes right away but I was second guessing my reasons. Deep down I was fighting this feeling that this was all getting really serious. Maybe it was just me, I know Jasper and he isn't one to change his cocky attitude. Homecoming was one of Edward and I's first public things as a couple and it just didn't feel right to repeat that with Jasper, but he did have a point.
It would be perfect, just to rub in his face that I was still just as fun as I used to be, and I could finally let Rose doll me up for once. Another voice in my head argued that this should just be one fun night with Jazz, now that we are finally friends again and completely over most of the awkward stuff that happened in the past. I looked at Jasper and smiled, and everything was running through my head at once. Yes, no, yes, no, too fast, fast, fast, fast, serious, serious, no, no, just say yes for God's sake!
"I guess Rose does have an excuse to doll me up."
Please review and let me know what you think? thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed it.
