Taking Two Hearts

Ch 5: Not a Date

BPOV

I didn't see Jasper again until gym. He was sitting in the bleachers, I assumed it was because his gym uniform hadn't come in yet. I decided I would also sit out and told coach I would be using one of the three sit out days I was allotted. She paid little attention to me other then marking it down. I was likely to cause injuries if I was participating anyway so she probably was happy to have me off the court. I climbed up the bleachers and sat next to Jasper. I had resigned myself to the fact I was attracted to Jasper and that my relationship with Edward was on the fence now. I may have thrown a few fits before hand but once I realize somethings happening I'm pretty good at adapting.

"Your not ruining a good reputation for me are you Miss Swan? I don't want to turn you into a rebel." Jasper said teasingly as I sat. I laughed and blushed.

"How do you know I'm not already a rebel?" I whispered leaning towards him as if we were conspiring together. He laughed loudly and the husky sound sent butterflies to my stomach.

"I find that hard to believe. You seem like a sweet girl." His grin softened at the end and I could tell he meant it.

"Thanks. I suppose your right. I'm not a rebel at all. The worst I've done is break curfew and that was because my car broke down so I don't know if that counts." I grinned at him and he returned it.

"Well I think I would have to judge that as not very rebellious." He shifted closer to me our thighs now touching.

"Oh? Do you know a lot about being rebellious?" I asked facing the basketball game on the court but looking at him out of the corner of my eye. He grinned his panty-dropper smile and leaned in to slowly brush a hair out of my face his fingers trailing against my skin.

"I've been know to get into a little trouble now and then," the way he said trouble as he touched me made me blush. He stopped touching me and pulled back "but I'm not that way anymore." H stretched his arms over his head and smiled at me sweetly.

"Once a bad boy always a bad boy." I said quietly quoting something my brother had once told me while I was dating Jacob. Jasper didn't comment immediately which made me turn to look at him. He was looking at me in a very serious manner his brows slightly drawn together.

"Bella I'm going to be honest. You are beautiful and I like you but I know, I've heard around school, that your- well your already with someone. Although I have to admit I think he's dumb as rocks to leave you when you are so... desirable. So I just want you to know I wouldn't ever pressure you into anything. Despite our flirting. Having said that, would you possibly like to go get something to eat after school." He was so serious as he said this that I couldn't help but laugh.

"Sure, as long as you know I'm with someone and don't think it's a date then sure! I don't see why not."

AN: Okay I know it's short and I meant for it to be a lot longer but I'm having some difficulty with the part directly after this and I know you are waiting anxiously for the chapter so after consideration I decide I'd post this part and then use the next bit in the next chapter. Please review. Also I just started writing my own original story. I don't know that it will be turned into a book or anything but I would like about 10 people that would like to read it as I write and give me feedback and read rewrites should I decide to make them after feedback. A sound board of types I guess. If you would like to be one of these please let me know. I will be more likely to choose you if you have beta'd, written several well written stories, or have gave me good feed back on my twifis in the past.
