DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT STEPHENIE MEYER. BUT I WISH SHE WOULD PICK UP MIDNIGHT SUN AGAIN. SHE'S KILLING ME!!

AN: Hey guys. I am so sorry I haven't updated, but as you know, I got picked for jury duty. It's over now, thank God! I can now resume my schedule for FF writing.

BIG NEWS!! I have started a new story titled Bitter Sweet Symphony, after the song that inspired the story. Here's the summary: Rose and Edward make a bet. Will the school playboy be able to turn Bella into a vixen and get James to ask her out to prom? Will Edward make a good teacher and teach Bella everything she needs to know? Oh yes, there will be lemons! All human, OOC and Cannon pairing. Rated M

Please read and tell me what you think. I've got 2 chapters up. I've worked just as hard on that story as this one, so, I look forward to your reviews on that.

So, this chapter is important. It sets up what happens in the future. Some of you picked up on Jacob and Bella's past together and I have to say, that does come into play in the future. But you'll see my pretties, you'll see.

I believe the real fun happens in the next chapter, so please be on the look-out. I'm working on it as I write this.

Guys, honestly and truly, you are awesome! I never dreamed I would have this many people looking at this story. I feel like you guys are truly my friends on this. I have to say, I've got about a little over 80 people who are on alert for this story, and it would be nice to have each of you leave one tiny, little message for me. Imagine opening up my mailbox to have 80+ emails? That would totally make my day.

I hope this chapter does make sense. I was watching Pirates of the Carribean 3 while writing this, so I was a bit distracted. Hopefully, it doesn't suck too bad.

Shout-outs to WhynotJasper (Have you read my two chapters yet wench?) and 4theluvofMary (You did a great job on your last chapter. Don't you just hate it when you get your period but you really want to mess around? Ugh. Sucks for Bella.)

Also, Sounds of music and mischief-maker 1, your reviews are hilarious. I look forward to hearing from you guys every chapter.

So, here it is, Chapter 15.

Hells yeah!

EPOV

I was nervous. Extremely nervous.

I loved Tanya and I wanted this night to go smoothly. I had decided to take her out to this extremely fancy restaurant, knowing for sure she would love it. Tanya loved anything flashy and expensive. I didn't mind too much. She was easier to please that way.

I picked her up from her apartment. She looked lovely.

"Hello Edward. How are you?" She gave me her winning smile.

"I'm doing great Tanya. How about you?"

"Very good. I'm excited about this date. Where are you taking me this evening?"

I smiled at her. I knew her well. "I'm taking you to Michaelangelos's.

I saw her eyes light up. She was pleased.

"Oh Edward. How wonderful. What's the occasion?"

"No occasion, sweetheart. I just wanted to give you something you've wanted before you leave for a few days."

"This is perfect Edward! Thank you."

We drove to the restaurant, talking the whole way through, mostly about her and her plans for the week. I never really said much about me when we were together. I was content enough to just listen to her.

Dinner passed pleasantly, and all too soon, we were heading back to her place.

I felt naseous. We quickly made our way upstairs and made ourselves comfortable in her living room. I got up and got us some wine. I figured this would help calm my nerves.

"Tanya, sweetie, I got you some wine."

"Oh, thank you Edward. Come and sit by me."

I sat next to her and gazed into her eyes. It was now or never.

"Tanya, I know your leaving tomorrow, but I wanted to tell you that I love you so much. Do you love me?"

She smiled at me and said, "Of course I do Edward. You know that."

"Well, I want to show you how much I love you."

At that, I got up and bent down on one knee and held out the engagement ring I bought for her. It was the biggest and most expensive that I could afford.

The look on her face told me she was pleased.

"Tanya, you know I love you. And I want to show you how much. Will you marry me?"

She jumped up off the couch and threw herself at me.

"YES! YES! YES!"

I smiled at her, happy that she'd said yes. I couldn't believe my luck.

"Oh Edward! The ring is beautiful. You know me so well."

"I sure do. I'm so glad you liked it. I love you."

She looked up at me and said, "I love you too Edward. Oh, I can't wait to show everyone. They'll be so jealous!"

I laughed at her enthusiasm and leaned in to kiss her. The kiss was long and soon, we found ourselves going to the bedroom.

Yes. This must be happiness.

I woke up Thursday, dreaming a very, very good dream about Alice. I looked at my bedside clock and realized it was after 1 in the afternoon. I groaned as I rolled over in my bed. I couldn't believe that I'd slept for so long. I got out of bed and decided to quickly shower and change for the day. I had no idea if Emmett and Edward were here, or if they were already gone.

About 20 minutes later, I walked out of my room and made my way towards the kitchen. I had to have some cereal to settle my stomach down.

After I poured myself a bowl, I walked into the living room to see Emmett playing video games. "Hey Em."

He didn't bother looking up from the t.v. as he answered me. "Hey Jasper. You must've come in pretty late last night. I can't believe your just getting up."

I answered him in between bites. "Yeah, I got in after 2:30 in the morning. It went well." But all I can think about is her roommate. "How did your date go?"

He was in the middle of winning a game, so I didn't get much information. "Mine went well too. I should be seeing her again soon."

"That's great. I'm planning on seeing Bella again too." Suddenly, a plan started to form in my head. Yes, this could actually work!

"Where's Edward?" I asked suddenly. If this were to work, I would need their co-operation.

"I believe he's in the shower. He had a late night too."

"I thought he was taking Tanya to the airport this morning."

"He did. He came home pretty early and knocked out again on his bed. He woke up just a couple of minutes before you did."

Emmett and I sat in silence; I was finishing my cereal while he was busy trying to win and get a perfect score.

I had just finished my cereal and was cleaning up when Edward walked into the room.

"Hey guys."

"Hey Edward, how was your night?" I really didn't care for the girl, but I did care for Edward.

"It went well, actually. How about you guys?"

"Great."

"Yeah, very good."

Emmett finally turned his attention towards us and asked, "So Jasper, did you get laid?"

"No," I said, as I rolled my eyes at him. Bella wasn't the one I wanted in my bed.

"How about you?" I asked him.

"Nah. Not yet at least." He said as he wiggled his eyebrows.

Neither one of us bothered to ask Edward. We knew he did.

I figured now would be the best time to broach the subject of my favor. I hoped they were in a good mood for it.

"Hey guys, I wanted to ask you something."

I had both of their undivided attention; and for Emmett, that's saying something.

"Shoot."

I took a deep breath and said, "Listen, I wanted to take Bella out tomorrow night, but I think it would be good if we had a group outing. She's got two roommates, both girls, and the three of us could go out all together with them."

Emmett and Edward exchanged glances. Emmett was the first to speak. "Um dude. I was hoping to go out with Alice again. And sometime soon."

Alice? Wow, his girlfriend has the same name as my future girlfriend. Wait. No, not future girfriend. Concentrate, Jasper.

"Well, you will Emmett, but make plans for Saturday. Please? I know this would really please her and I think you guys will have a lot of fun!"

"Fine, Jasper, I'm in. But only because you asked me to. I'll call Alice later and let her know I'll see her Saturday."

I was so excited and happy. I turned to Edward for his answer.

"Guys, there's something I've got to tell you."

This time, Emmett and I turned to look at Edward. He looked serious.

"What happened?" I asked suddenly alarmed. It was obvious that Edward was hiding something.

"I, um, just wanted to let you guys know that I'm engaged."

I think Emmett and I were too stunned to speak.

Emmett spoke first. "To who?"

I looked at him increduously. "What do you mean to who?"

Edward pinched the bridge of his nose with his index finger and thumb. A sure sign that he was upset.

"Tanya" said Edward. "I asked her to marry me."

"And she said yes." I said. It wasn't a question, it was a statement.

I could tell that Emmett wanted to express his disagreement, but the look and emotions radiating off of Edward told me this was not going to be a good time to do so.

I cut in.

"Look Edward, I'm not here to bug you or anything. I just really want you to come along with me."

"Jazz, I'm engaged. I don't think I should be going out on group dates anymore."

"It's not a group date. That's where your wrong. It's an outing with friends."

He didn't look convinced.

"Look, if you want, I can tell them you're engaged so the girls won't bother you. I don't expect you to go out with any of them. It's strictly a friendly outing."

I could see his resolve wearing thin.

"Please Edward?"

"Okay fine. As long as you make it clear that I'm not available."

"Yes, that's fine. I will, trust me." I was beyond excited now. I had Emmett and Edward on board.

Now, I had to call Bella.

APOV

All I could think about was Jasper. Since the moment I woke up, his name called out to me. What could I do?

And now, Bella was on the phone talking to him. Ugh. I was so jealous.

All I could hear was her laughing and talking into the phone. I should've been happy for her, but I couldn't be.

Not when she was talking to my Jasper.

I got up and went to the kitchen - to do what, who knows.

Probably pace some more.

Then, I heard Bella calling for me and Rosalie.

I sighed deeply and prepared my 'happy face.'

"Yes Bella?" I asked as I made my way to her. I'm such a bad friend.

"Girls, I wanted to ask you guys for a favor."

"Sure, what's up?" Rose asked.

"Well, Jasper just called me and he would like to go out on a group outing. He's bringing his two roommates, which are both male, and he wants me to bring the two of you. What do you say, can you guys come?"

I couldn't believe it. Was he doing this so that we could be together? I wanted to hope so. But of course, I could be reading too much into this.

But I was usually never wrong.

I smiled and said, "I'm in Bella." Yes, such a bad friend. No! I'm just going to be looking. Nothing more.

Bella looked towards Rosalie. "Well?"

"I don't know Bella. I've always had really bad experiences going out with men I don't really know. Their always such jerks."

"No Rose. Jasper is no jerk, and I'm sure he wouldn't bring his friends if they were that way. I know him, and I want you guys to get to know him too."

Yes, I definitely want to get to know him. Every inch of him.

No. Bad Alice.

"Alright. I'm in. Tell that boy toy of yours that we're in."

Bella shrieked in excitement. "That's perfect! I'll call him back right now."

Then Rose opened her mouth.

"How did it go last night anyway for you?"

Bella's smile faltered a bit. Then, she regained her composure and said, "It went well. Really great."

"What did you do?"

"We went out to eat and then went to a new club that his friends' father owns."

"Did you dance? Or I mean grind?" Rose asked with a smirk.

"Yes, and I have to say, he's a good dancer. Smooth moves."

My stomach did a flip.

"Wow. Sounds like you had a great time. So, is he a good kisser?"

I tuned in to her answer, even though I didn't want to.

"Yes, he is. He's very sweet, just like his kiss." Bella smiled as she talked.

Rose rolled her eyes at her. "Details woman, details. Did you guys tongue dance?"

Yep. Definitely going to be sick.

"Rose!" I said. "She doesn't want to answer that!"

"Why not Alice? You answered me. And as I recall, you did enjoy it."

"It's alright Alice. I'll answer her." Bella turned toward Rose. "Yes, we did tongue-dance." she said, as she rolled her eyes.

Rose smiled as I got up to leave.

"Alice? What's wrong?" Bella asked.

"Nothing sweetie. I'm fine. I think I'm just going to lie down for a while. You said we're set to go for tomorrow, right?"

"Yep. I'm going to call Jasper back now."

I smiled at the both of them as I walked out.

Tomorrow night was going to be bitter sweet.

AN: So, review please? How was it? Oh, and please don't kill me because of the beginning of this chapter. It has to happen for my story to work. I have a plan. Don't worry.
