AN: I own nothing…. I hope you enjoy this chapter :) I have three finals next week… Can't wait for this semester to finally be over. :)

With that being said this chapter is shorter than I had initially hoped.

~29~

JPOV- December 11th (Saturday)

Work was crazy busy today and all I could think about was getting done and the date that Edward and I would go on tonight. Everyone was going crazy doing their Christmas shopping and I still had no idea what to get Edward.

As I stocked the bookshelves I couldn't help sneaking a peak at my watch…

10:30 a.m.

Great only like seven hours to go, this day is going to go on forever.

I thought as I placed the new best seller Last Sacrifice by: Richell Mead onto the bookshelf. I couldn't believe how nervous I was, I mean Edward and I have been together for a while now, it's not like this is the first time we'll be alone. I pause as it think about that. Alone… we'll be alone in public, Edward still hates going out in public. Crap, I hope I'm doing the right thing by taking him out. I say to myself as I continue working.

The day passed slowly and with every tick of the clock I became more nervous about picking Edward up and wondering what I was thinking last weekend when I asked him out.

~Last Sunday~

"Edward?" I say breaking our comfortable silence.

"Yes Jazz?" He says as he turns in my arms so that he can look at me.

"Well um Edward, I was um wondering if you would be…" I stuttered over my words as I paused and started again. "Would you like to go out on a date with me?" I finally say though it all came out fast and I wasn't sure if he understood it.

Silence lingered in the air for what seemed like hours as I waited to Edward to say something.

"Um, if you don't want to that's, well um, I should probably g…" a tight grip on my thigh stops me before I can get off the couch. I pause and look at Edward, then to his hand that was clutching my thigh.

"I would love to go out with you Jasper." Edward shyly says as he gently pulls me into a kiss.

~Present~

I smiled at the memory as my heart started pounding louder in my chest, almost threatening to come up and out of my throat.

Finally or all too soon I really wasn't sure which, it was 3:00 and I was leaving the bookstore and heading home to get ready for the long awaited and nerve-wracking first official date.

4:05 I stood in my room wrapped only in a towel as I stared at my clothes with no clue on what to wear.

5:03 I had to leave in like ten minutes to get to the Cullen's house by 5:30 and all I had on were white socks and boxers.

5:10 finally I decide on my boots, jeans that hugged me just right, and a dark green long sleeve button up shirt with a white design that had a cross like thing on one of the sides.

5:12 I took one more look in the mirror making sure everything looked ok. My acne caught my eye as I gently touched it. Sometimes I could swear it was getting better, but it still looked so bad that I couldn't be sure.

5:15 seeing the clock on the wall behind me I quickly grabbed my jacket and headed to the car and was soon off to pick up Edward, knowing that I would almost definitely be late.

EPOV-

"4:23" I say whispering to myself as I look back in my closet trying to decide what shirt to wear. Finally I decide on a dark green long sleeve button up shirt with some kind of dragon on the back.

"No Edward, don't wear that. I think the red looks better on you." Alice says as she pushes past me, grabbing the green shirt out of my hands as she does. "Yes, this one is perfect."

She says as I am handed a red and black flannel button up long sleeve shirt.

Shrugging I put it on after Alice skips out of my room.

It was 5:23 and Jasper would be pulling into the driveway in a matter of minutes and I couldn't sit still, all I could do was pace the living room while my heart loudly pounded.

"Edward sweetheart, why don't you take a seat?" Esme said looking up from the magazine she was pretending to read. Deciding to listen to Esme, I take a seat in one of the chairs facing the entryway and the door.

5:31 he was late and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach as I started to worry. Was he going to stand me up? What if he decided not to come?

My worries were soon silenced as a knock on the door made me look up from the watch that I had been staring at for the last few minutes.

"Darling are you going to answer the door or are you going to make that poor boy stand out in the cold and rain longer?" Esme says as she places her magazine on the coffee table.

"Oh um yeah." I stumble out as I practically race towards the door.

The sight of Jasper when I opened the door took my breath away. His curls had droplets of water dripping from them and his eyes were the bluest I have ever seen.

"Are you going to stand there staring or are you going to let me in?" He says with a grin as I quickly step aside for he can step into the house. "Edward, I'm sorry I'm late I was having trouble deciding what to wear."

He says as a slight tint appears on his cheeks, as he becomes slightly embarrassed, about what I am uncertain.

JPOV-

Edward looks truly breathtaking I notice as we awkwardly stand in the entryway to the Cullen's house.

"Oh you boys just look beautiful." Esme gushes as she comes over to us with a camera in hand. "Stand together now I want to get a picture of my boys first official date." I couldn't help the huge grin that formed on my face when she said my boys, including me as one of her own.

It took Edward and me ten minutes to get out of the house, but soon we were in my car heading towards the restaurant for dinner.

"Edward you look really nice tonight." I say as I drive down the driveway.

"Thanks, you look great to." He shyly replies.

"I hope you like Mexican." I say as we pull into the parking lot and heading into Casa Corona Mexican grill.

"Love it." He says as we both exit the car and make a dash into the restaurant.

"Jasper, good to see you how are you." The hostess said as we entered the doors.

"Angela things are good, this is Edward Cullen. Emmett and Alice's brother." I say as Edward grabs my hand, whether it's to claim his territory or because he's scared I am unsure but I give him a reassuring smile as we are shown to our table.

"Good to meet to Edward. I hope you both enjoy your dinner." Angela says as she runs off to help the next customers.

"Hi I'm Erick I'll be your waiter tonight, can I get you anything to drink?" our waiter said not even bothering to look up from his pad and pen.

"I'll take a coke please." I say praying Erick doesn't ruin this evening for Edward and I.

"I'll have a root beer please." Edward says looking between me and Erick. Since Erick was now staring at me.

"Sure thing I'll get that right away for you Hale." He sneers as he walks off.

"That was Erick; he goes to school with me." I say as Edward gives me a questionable look.

Dinner was going great as our drinks seemed to not be tampered with and our food was good. Conversation was decent and neither of us seemed bored, that I could tell. All in all our date was going good. We were holding hands across the table and he was smiling and laughing.

"Oh look who it is, it's the fag." A voice sneered at us. Edward quickly let go of my hand and put his in his lap. I didn't have to look up to know who was talking. Peter has harassed me practically my entire life. Suddenly I felt really stupid for bringing Edward out into public. I could see it in his body language as he starts to withdraw into himself. "I should say Fags, who are you his boyfriend?" Peter says turning his attention towards Edward. With that Edward starts to shake and I could see him starting to panic.

"Peter, why don't you just leave us alone?" I say not even looking at him.

"Oh Jasper doesn't like me picking on his boyfriend?" He said as he steps closer to Edward, too close I notice as Edwards shakes increase.

"Peter leave him alone." I say as I start to stand.

"No I don't think I will." He was now towering over Edward blocking Edward in the booth.

"Leave him alone Peter. He is Cullen brother." I say hoping that he'll back off. It worked.

"See you Monday at school Fag." He says looking at me as he takes off.

"Edward? Are you ok?" I say once we are again alone. Shaking he nods slightly.

"Um, Jasper can we, can we get out of here?" He wasn't looking at me, his head was bowed and he was still shaking.

"Sure let's go." I say after I pay and we both get up. I was happy when his shaking hand grabbed mine.

"Edward I'm sorry about what happened. I really wanted you to have a good time. Peter is a jerk." I say when the two of us are safely in my car. "I guess I'll take you home." I said wishing that I didn't have to end the night so quickly.

"No, it's not your fault." He says. "What were the plans for after dinner?"

I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face as he asks this. He didn't want our date to end.

"Teasers tea house is having a poetry reading of Edgar Allan Poe's poems. I thought you might enjoy it." I say as I turn on the car.

"That sounds good, lets good." His smile was breathtaking and his eyes looked amazing.

"Edward have I told you how amazing you look tonight?" I whisper as we kiss.

AN: ok so you only get half their date sorry. But if you want to know how the rest of the date goes you may want to review. :) Thanks for reading.
