So I wrote most of the following chapters when there was a power cut at my house. I had nothing to do but write. I hope you guys enjoy my efforts!

I had another secret to keep. Another secret that I had to tell Jasper. I had no idea how he would react. I myself was...happy. Yeah, well I think I was. I was going to tell him tonight. I smiled to myself. I hope he's happy too.

Lily didn't know it, but tonight was going to be the best date she'd ever had. I decided it was high time that I showed her I really knew how to woo a lady. Not that she needed much wooing. God, I liked her so much. Since that night at the carnival we had been seeing each other nonstop. Things were good. It was four months since we had started seeing each other. Unlike other girls I had been with, she hadn't been pressuring me to commit, or to push things further. She was so accepting. We had so much fun together. I couldn't get enough of her.
I walked into my apartment with the groceries I had gone to get. "That you little brother?" My sister, Rosalie, had hollered from the kitchen. Yup, that's right; I'm not above asking my sister to help me plan a romantic night in. Seeing as she already had her man, I figure Emmett must have done something right to get her. Plus, you know she was a girl. Girls always knew about romantic crap.
"Yeah it's me. Got all the food. What you been doing while I was gone?" I asked as I walked into the kitchen. And there my sister stood with the biggest smile on her face. For her to be smiling it must be something good. "What've you done?"
She just pointed to the small table she had set up. I must say it looked good. She had set it all up nice, with flowers and candles. I whistled appreciatively. "It looks great sis!" I smiled as I walked around it. She had done good.
Rosalie grabbed her purse; "Right then I'm going to leave you to do the rest of the cooking. And I AM going to meet this girl soon, you hear?"
"Thanks Rose!" I called as she closed the front door. Right now, on with the food.

I arrived at Jasper's apartment, for once, right on time. He had told me to dress nice. I really wanted to wear the new dress I had bought, but well I couldn't. It was sleeveless. I had just "fallen over" so I had angry bruises up and down my arms. No sex tonight then. Usually I was so careful. And Jasper was never mean when I didn't really want to. He was so forgiving, then again I did usually just lie. So tonight I had settled on a little black dress with floaty arms and a skirt that flared slightly. I loved the way it moved when I walked.
I shook myself from my dark thoughts and knocked at Jaspers door. Quickly it opened revealing a smiling Jasper; "You look beautiful darlin', come in." He kissed me on the cheek as I walked through the door.
He led me through his apartment and I gasped at what I saw. He had put a red and white tablecloth over his small table. He had also two long white candles in the middle of the table with a single red rose on my plate. I looked at him smiling, "Jasper, it's so beautiful. Nobody had ever done something like this for me before." I kissed him soundly on the lips.
He pulled out my chair for me as I sat down and said; "Tonight we will be having spaghetti bolognese, with chocolate mousse for afterwards. Would that be agreeable to you?"
I laughed at him. "Why yes sir that would be most agreeable."
He went into the kitchen and re-appeared with two large plates in his hand. He set them down and the meal began. Throughout it, my newly acquired secret was on the tip of my tongue. I wanted to tell him so badly. But the time never felt right.
JPOV
By the end of dessert I could tell something wasn't right with Lily. She had been great, but sometimes throughout the night she would seem like she was somewhere else, or that she wanted to say something. I didn't push her though. Lily would tell me eventually. I would just give her some time before I somehow got it out of her.
We were snuggled up on the couch when she finally mustered up enough courage to say something.
She looked at me with her beautiful eyes wide and said; "Jasper... I. Well. Erm. There's something I want to tell you. I don't really know how to start or how you'll react. But well..." She was silent for the longest time, staring at the floor. I decided to help her out.
"Lily, I think I know what you were going to say. And well ... I feel the same way. I love you too." I smiled at her shocked expression.
LPOV
Well that wasn't what I was going to say. He loved me? Jasper loved ME? The smile spread across my face before I could even register it. Tears ran down my cheeks as I replied; "I love you".
Jasper pulled me close for a passionate kiss. Our tongues battled against one another, stroking, teasing each other into frenzy. When we broke for air, he placed his forehead against mine. "Well, this is a momentous occasion. We must remember it. On the 9th of August 2010 Jasper Whitlock and Lily Morgan said I love you to each other at seven twenty three." He joked.
9th of August?
Holy shit.
JPOV
Suddenly Lily tensed in my arms. "What did you say?"
I was confused. Did she regret saying I love you? I hesitated; "Erm, we love eachother?"
She shook her head impatiently; "No, No. The date. Tell me the date. Jasper please just tell me the date!"
Okay, now i was really confused, why was she getting so upset about the date for? "It's the ninth of August 2010, hon. Why is it so important?"
She leapt up from the couch, moaning under her breath. "Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. Oh my god!"
I stood up to grab her arms, "Lily, whats wrong? What's so important about today? Tell me Lily!"
I was really scared now. "Jasper, jasper, take me home. You have to take me home. Please? Please just take me home!" She pleaded with me.
I nodded and grabbed my keys as she immediately flew out the door. What the hell had her so spooked?
LPOV
Oh my god! I can't believe I forgot! How could I ever forget? My new secret clouded my judgement. On the drive home Jasper tried to get me to open up, to tell him but I was too worried to care. I needed to get home now. When Jasper pulled up into my house, I quickly said goodbye slammed the door and ran up to the house. I didn't look back.
I ran into the house, quickly closing the door. I was about to call out, when something hit me from behind. Everything went black and I was in a world of pain.
I suppose this is what I get for forgetting an anniversary.
