-Jasper's Point of View-

. . .

"Going out again?" Emmett asked as I took a seat in my computer chair.

I was putting on some brand new converse that Emmaline suggested I purchase. I had to admit I actually liked them.

"Yep."

"Where are you taking our little country princess tonight?"

"Actually she's taking me out tonight." I smiled.

"She's taking YOU on a date, I didn't know girls could do that." He stated, before he turned shouting for Rosalie.

I couldn't help but shake my head at Emmett's suddenness, no doubt he would make Rosalie take him on a date as well.

Emmaline was adamant about not telling me what we were doing tonight but insisted that I wear something casual.

I grabbed my new set of keys as well as my wallet and cellphone before I made my way to the garage. I found an annoyed Rosalie wiping oil off of her porcelain hands.

"Thanks for bragging about your date tonight, now I have to come up with something that Emmett will enjoy."

I smiled, "sorry about that, how's she runnin?"

"Surprisingly it was in great condition, I tweaked a few things here and there and gave it a full on tune up so 'she' should run like new."

I thanked her and hoped in, it felt amazing driving this truck. I've wanted one since they first came out but Alice refused due to the lack of "covered trunk space."

I pulled up to Emmaline's house and got off the truck. I knocked before letting myself in, Marta greeted me and I showed myself up to her bedroom.

"Hey sugar." Emmaline smiled at me.

We've been going out for a while now so to say we were comfortable around each other is a bit of an understatement. Most times I find it hard to keep my hands to myself.

She was sitting at her desk, brushing that horrible makeup junk onto her lovely face. I walked up to her and kissed her hair.

"I wish you wouldn't hide your true beauty under all of that makeup." I said as I took a comfortable seat on the edge of her bed.

"It's only to hide my flaws, you know dark circles and freckles." She said as she stood up and walked over to me now.

"I adore every little freckle on your face." I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her nose softly.

"You ready?" She asked.

Emmaline looked adorable in a Texas Rangers t-shirt that she paired with dark skinny jeans that hugged her lower half exquisitely.

I got up and the two of us left her house.

"Nice truck." She smiled as I opened the passenger door for her, she climbed in cutely.

"Thank you Darlin."

I closed her door and then stood next to it for a moment, she finally noticed and rolled her window down, I lazily folded my arms on the now open window area.

"What's up?"

"Well I'm not sure where we're goin Darlin." I admitted.

She smiled, "gimme your keys, I'll drive."

I looked at her and she held her hands out as she gave me a determined sort of look. I couldn't resist that face so I placed my keys into her soft palm, she smiled and slid over to the drivers side while I jumped into the passengers side.

I wasn't so sure about letting her drive considering I've never been in the car with her behind the wheel before. But we got to the place in one piece, and as I saw where we were a wide smile slowly spread across my face.

The batting cages.

"How did you know?" I asked as I got off the car and jogged over to her side.

She let me open her door before she handed my keys back to me and laced her tiny fingers in with mine comfortably.

"I remember you mentioned you had a weakness for baseball."

I had to actually think about everything I've ever said to her, and low and behold I HAD in fact said so once when we had run into her at a Diary Queen.

I was honestly touched that she would remember me even saying that, as I had literally only brought it up once.

We made our way to the cashier and I paid $20 for 30 minutes in the batting cages.

It was the smallest amount of time I could purchase. Emmaline had picked the perfect date for me and I felt horrible because I can't even join in. I know she's going to be so disappointed when she finds out I can't play and she might even want to leave after that.

"I wanted to spend the rest of the night with you." She said a little hurt, "do you have other plans?"

"No and even if I did I would break em for you in a heartbeat." I confessed, "you see the thing is that I can't play."

"Well I can teach you."

I chuckled, "no Darlin I know HOW to play but I just CAN'T do it here."

She dropped her head as we reached the batting cage, I pinch her chin gently between my thumb and forefinger and brought her face up as I bent down and kissed her once, "not that I don't want to, it's just, well a vampire thing."

I looked around and saw we were the only ones there.

"Look I'll show you what I'm talking about." I said as I entered.

The batting cage was basically a netting encasement to keep the balls within, but it had one metal barrier to protect the people from the pitching machine.

I ran over and turned the machine on then ran back and took my position.

The pitching machine is fast, but as a vampire I saw the ball flying in slow motion. So when the ball approached me I took my stance and let my body turn in with the swing of the bat, the ball made contact and I sent it flying in the opposite direction with a loud crack that sounded like thunder.

The ball tore through the back wall of netting and was gone for good.

"Wow." She said causing me to turn and face her

"See if I continued someone would notice and it would shatter the whole 'normal human' facade were trying to maintain."

She giggled but then stopped.

"Jasper watch ou-"

I turned to see a ball coming right at me, I pulled my head back and reached my hand up just in time to catch it before it could hit the metal barrier.

I turned and smiled, she had her arms crossed as she wore her own wry smirk.

Our 30 minutes didn't go to waste though, Emmaline stepped into the cage and tried, then I stepped back in with her and showed her how to hit the ball every time.

She said it was because of my technique, I didn't bother correcting her by telling her I saw the ball in slow motion so I knew exactly when to swing.

When our time was up we went to turn in the bats.

"I thought it was gonna come pourin down on you two." The cashier said, "we heard the thunder up here but I guess no rain decided to follow."

"I guess not." I commented with a slight smirk as Emmaline tried to contain her laughter.

We got back into the truck and this time I drove, we ended up going back to the house.

"Ooh stop right here." She said as she unbuckled her seat belt, we had barely started driving up the long drive way when she asked me to pull over, I drove the truck off of the main road so if anyone needed to enter or leave I wouldn't be blocking them.

"Will Esme kill us if we drive the truck next to the pond?" She asked.

I turned and looked at her, a beautiful smile graced her excited face.

"I'm sure she won't mind if it's for you."

So I did as she requested and pulled the truck next to the man made pond that Emmett and I had to dig. I'm glad someone had noticed it.

This time she jumped out of the truck before I could open her door.

"Did I mention how much I like your new truck."

"It looks pretty good for being so old." I said.

"Kinda like it's new owner." She teased playfully.

I ran over as picked her up around her middle, "that's not nice Darlin, say sorry."

She laughed and wrapped her legs around my waist. "I'm sorry." She said seductively before she began kissing me.

Now I love to kiss these soft pink lips of hers, but it tends to turn us on something fierce, so I usually stay more towards light pecks and lingering pecks for goodbyes or goodnights.

Right now Emmaline was in full on makeout mode, and she parted her lips to allow my eager tongue to delve into her warm and minty mouth.

A rush if lust hit me and I couldn't tell if it was mine or hers but I knew I had to stop.

When I pulled away she pouted and I kissed her lips once more, the fresh waves of excitement and desperate wanting still surrounding the both of us.

I was still carrying her and I looked into her gorgeous Hazel eyes, they were sparkling just as much as the first day I had unthinkingly reached out and helped her carry that cake.

A light breeze blew and sent her alluringly sweet scent swirling around me.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"
