Disclaimer: Twilight and its characters are not mine…I wish it was but it's not. I mean no harm; I am just playing in Stephanie Meyer's world.

AN: I am so sorry for the delay and the short chapter. Bella just wasn't talking to me. And then I got all distracted with the 100 Monkeys concert in Boston. I actually got to meet Jackson Rathbone and Ben J outside before the show and two fanfic authors that I love. I have been a fangirling mess for the past couple of weeks. But things seem to be back to normal.

I also want to thank my beta B. Andd. She makes sure that what I write makes sense and flows nicely. Thank you for all your hard work.

Now on to the story…

Getting Ready

Bella POV

After Jasper helped me out of his truck I jumped into my truck so that I could get everything done that I needed to before Jasper's baseball game. As my old Chevy roared to life, I thought about all that had happened in the past day: I got hit in the head with a ball, Jasper took me to the E.R., then he slept on my couch, we went to breakfast, and now we have a date later today. "Oh My God! I HAVE A DATE WITH JASPER HALE!" I allowed myself to scream. Giggling and smiling, I pulled out of the driveway and headed to the store.

Walking into the store I started to grab all of the things that Charlie and I would need for the rest of the week. Once I had everything that we needed I went up to check out.

"Hey, Bella, how are you today?" Jessica asked me as she started to ring up my groceries.

"Hey, Jessica. I am good. How are you?"

"I am alright. How is your head?"

"I don't even feel it anymore," I said with a smile.

"So, Jasper Hale called me yesterday from your phone?" she asked with a smirk.

"Yea, he brought me to the E.R. after I got hit and then he sat with me all night," I said with a small smile.

"You will have to dish more later," she said, winking at me.

"Yea, we will see, Jessica." Jessica was crazy if she thought that I would tell her that Jasper spent the night with me, on my couch. She liked to gossip and I didn't want everyone to know and to make their own assumptions.

"Your total is $128.98. I left your back pack on your porch; did you find it?"

I handed her the money, "I didn't even remember to check for it, I'll look when I get home. See ya later," I said pushing the cart towards the door. After I had everything loaded in the bed of the truck, I hopped in the cab and headed home.

Once I pulled into the driveway, I started to bring in the groceries. I always hated this part, the walking back and forth; it took me three trips to the truck to get everything in the house. On the last trip I checked for my back pack and brought that in, too. Before I put everything away I ran up the stairs to grab my iPod and speakers. I hooked them up in the kitchen and I started to put everything away. I was dancing to the music and softly singing along to the "Random Playlist" that I had.

Once everything was put away I checked the time; it was 12:30 PM. I figured that I should make some lunch and then get ready for the game. I made myself a turkey and provolone cheese sandwich and some chips; I grabbed a bottle of water and then sat down pulling out my AP History binder, thinking I might as well get some work done while I can.

After about forty-five minutes of working and eating I decided that I should get in the shower to get ready to head to the game. I put my dishes in the sink and picked up my homework and back pack, grabbed my iPod and I headed upstairs. Putting my school stuff in my room and the iPod in the bathroom, I jumped in the shower.

Once I was done I went into my room to get dressed. I stood in front of my closet at a loss as to what to wear. I was never good at this; should I dress just for the game or were we going right out after the game?

Bella: Hey Jasper, it is Bella. I was just wondering if we were going out right after the game or later tonight?

I hit send, and went to grab the lotion and start to rub that on my body. I was pulling on my black cotton boy shorts and matching bra when my phone went off.

Jasper: Hey Bella. You aren't backing out are you?

Bella: No not at all. I just don't know what to wear

I moved back to my closet and was pulling things out, wondering just what I wanted to wear.

Jasper: Good, I was thinking that later tonight would be good. That way you don't get stuck with a smelly date ;)

Bella: Ok that sounds good. I will see you later Jasper

Jasper: See you later

I went back to my closet and pulled out a pair of denim Capri's and the Fork's High School t-shirt that once belonged to my mom. After getting dressed I went back to the bathroom and dried my hair and then pulled it up into a pony tail. After applying some light make up I headed out the door.

AN: I know that it is short and just leaves it hanging at the end, but coming up is the baseball game and then the date. Thank you guys for hanging on.
