AN: Hey y'all! I know it's been a while since I updated, but I hope this chapter is worth it. I'm not exactly sure how far I'm going to go with this story or how long I want it to be. I'd really appreciate it if you guys would review this story and tell me what you think I should do with it. If I don't start getting some reviews, I think I might just end it in a couple of chapters. As always, I don't own anything; everything belongs to Stephanie Meyer.

I've tried to explain it. I've thought of every possible reason, but keep coming back to one. I love him.

All afternoon I've tried to figure out why I don't want to be away from Jasper, and that I can't stop thinking about him. Or that I miss his smile, his laugh and that cute southern drawl, and that I feel empty without him. I guess three simple words explain it: I love him.

Ever since he asked me out on a date this Friday night, I can't get him out of my head.

Flashback

School had just ended and I was gathering my things when I felt him. I can't explain it because I didn't see or hear him, but I knew that Jasper was coming closer to me. Sure enough, not a minute later I saw those worn-out leather boots and heard that unmistakable accent say, "Well hello there darlin."

With those four little words, my heart melted. I quickly turned around and smiled. His golden eyes had me so entrance that I didn't hear him talking to me. Only when he waved his hand in front of me, did I realize that he had said something. "I'm sorry. What did you say?" I asked, feeling really embarrassed.

"Why Bella, does my presence mesmerize you?" he said coyly, giving me a crooked grin.

"Yes it does actually. I just got so lost in your eyes that I didn't hear you. Anyway. What did you say?"

"I'm flattered that I have that affect on you. What I asked earlier was that I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner and a movie with me on Friday night?" he nervously asked, obviously afraid of rejection.

"Oh, well ummm. Okay, sure." Wow, real smooth Bella. Your perfect Greek God just asked you out and all you can say is, "Umm. Okay, sure."?

"Alright then. I'll pick you up at say 5-ish? I know this great..." Jasper started to say, but was interrupted by a tall, muscular guy.

"Hey Jazzman! We gotta goooo! Come on; you're taking forever!" whined the dark-headed guy.

"Emmett, go on home with the others. I'll meet you there as soon as I escort Bella home," Jasper said.

"That's not necessary Jasper. I have my truck and my house isn't far from here. Besides, I think you better go home with that guy because he looks as if he's going to pick you up and take you there himself if you don't hurry up," I said pointing at "Emmett".

"Emmett McCarty-Cullen, at your service. And who might you be, since my dearest brother hasn't had the decency to introduce you?" Emmett said, taking a small bow.

"Emmett, I really don't have time for this!" Jasper said angrily, "This is Bella, Bella Swan. Now if you'll excuse us, I am going to escort Bella home, despite her protests. I'll see you at home Emmett."

End Flashback

After he took me home, all I could think about was him. The night progressed as usual; I would read before having dinner with Charlie, then do my homework and go to bed, but all that time I was thinking of him. I wished the clock would go faster, just so that I could see him again. What the heck was happening to me?

I was laying in bed, restless and awake. I absolutely couldn't stop hearing him say my name in my head. The way it sounded like music rolling off his tongue, how he always smiled when he said my name, or how I was completely and totally in love with him. Thinking these amazing thought, I almost didn't hear the sound of rocks hitting my, I went and opened my window, only to find Jasper there holding a single rose. "Jasper, what are you doing here? It's 1 in the morning!" I asked, silently thanking him for interrupting my thoughts with his presence as he jumped through my window and hugged me.

"I couldn't sleep. I was laying awake and thinking. I was thinking of you, your smile, your beauty and your laugh, when I realized something. I love you Bella. It hurts to be away from you, I'm always thinking of you, and everything just seems better when you're around. I know we've only met once and haven't even gone out on a date yet, but somehow, I just know that we were meant to be together," Jasper said with love in his eyes as he handed me the single rose.

Oh. My. God! Jasper was thinking and feeling exactly what I had felt for him all along! Instead of wasting time with words, I set the rose down and kissed my charming prince in the dim light of the full moon. As soon as our lips touched, electricity flowed through me and I instantly knew that we were soul mates.
