Girls chat

A couple of weeks had passed by since the news and Jasper. In fact, things with me and he was running okay. We went on a couple more dates, he even had met Karter, which Andy wasn't happy about. But I wasn't really worried about that. All I needed was a nice catch up with my best friend. While Jasper was becoming a big part of my life I hadn't told her. 

"So where have you been?" Lisa questioned me. 

"Well I've been busy, I met this guy called Jasper..." I replied blushing. 

"It's about bloody time. So, does this mean Andy's out the picture for good then?" She replied with her questioning eyes. 

I totally forgot about the last time that I spoke to Andy, he never even called to see how Karter was. But then that wasn't anything new. 

"You still here with me babe?" She replied looking at me with the raised eyebrow. 

"Yes, sorry and yes, his out the picture, for good!" I replied.

I didn't want to tell her about what almost happened, I knew she wouldn't get upset but I just didn't want to say it. It felt like it never happened when I never talked about it. 

"So... Jasper what, who, where and when... Tell me, tell me." She replied her eyes glued in for the information. 

"Well, I met him the day I last saw you. He was there when I woke up, from passing out..." I replied forgetting I didn't even tell her that I passed out. 

"Passed out, bloody hell. You never told me this. Why and how!" She replied questioning me on top of her own question. How was I going to explain this now to her? 

"I don't know, I was feeling a bit blue that day, I guess it was meant to be. Cause now I found someone." I tried to joke it off, but she wasn't having it. 

"Well, well, well. How are you feeling now then?" She asked more concerned about me, then how I met Jasper. 

"Please, I just want to forget it. But I'm fine I said." This passing out I felt like everyone that knew, was tiptoeing around me. 

"Alright, babe. I won't push it. So, this Jasper guy?" She continued on with the questions beforehand. 

"He calls every day, It's crazy cause he says odd things, things you don't say to someone you just met. But I don't know much about him, just his names Jasper, he drives a white car and he always has tons of money." I replied thinking that maybe he's starting to warm on me. 

"That's all you know?" She replied holding back the laughter. 

"It's not funny! Why are you laughing, you think I'm silly?" I replied now feel like maybe this was just not so normal. 

"Have you brushed down there with him yet?" She asked cracking up by this time. 

"No, he doesn't want me till I give myself to him," I replied back. 

"Yourself to him?" She looks at me confused. 

"Like he says he wants to know me inside out. Show me things I've never seen before." I replied daydreaming into the air. 

"No babes he sounds a bit crazy. No, I take it back, his crazy!" She replied I rolled my eyes, he wasn't crazy he was just different. Very different in fact, he made different become different. 

"I like it though, his confident and straight to the point. Plus, he was my hero." I replied trying to joke off the fact I felt a bit silly. 

"Hero yeah, but still crazy! So, you don't know anything?" She asked confirming I was telling her the correct information. 

"No, well..." I stopped thinking in case I did. But looked back. 

"No, but that's the fun in it I guess. Learning new things about him." I said smiling while stringing an almost empty cup of tea. 

"Do you have any pictures of him?" She replied turned and said to me. 

"No, I never got around to getting one. With the whole passing out faze." I replied. 

"So, no picture, no information. Just Jasper." By this time, she was cracking up. 

Does she think the fall made me go crazy? 

"So, how're things going on with Andy then?" She asked, but I could tell she really didn't care too much about it. 

"The day after the picture, fall and all that. He came around!" I replied stopping thinking if I was going to say the rest or just leave it. 

"Yeah..." She said leaning in to hear the rest. 

"Well, he was saying he's sorry." 

"Sorry, his sorry don't fall for it Venus, it's just him trying to make himself feel better for all the rubbish he put you through." She jumped in sounding annoyed. 

I don't know why she asked about it. She can't stand him. 

"He told me he loves me, but..." 

"So, what about his girlfriend then." She jumped in again. 

"Let me finish," I replied putting my hands out. 

"Alright, sorry I just don't understand how he thinks he can feel like he has the right to tell you that." She replied calming down again. 

"Well... He said he loves me, but I'm not an easy person to love. Don't worry! I never was listening to it. Then he kissed me. But I stopped it. Told him he needed to go." I replied trying to remember it all. 

"Does his girlfriend know he still loves you then." She replied bluntly. 

"Well I'm sure she's unaware of it, otherwise she wouldn't be there with him. Oh, he blamed her for the whole picture. Well indirectly blamed her, saying he didn't want me to be hurt." I replied laughing have I said the last part. 

"So, kissing you and saying he loves you, what help is that?" She replied shaking her head. I shrugged my shoulders. 

"I know he hurt you, but you need to now be strong! Get over him." She frowned. 

"Plus you got Jasper." She started cracking up laughing. I tapped her. 

"Oh, stop it, I don't even think I'm ready. I don't even understand how he expects me to even respond to his request, to have me. Do I say yeah, I want to get you all of me, inside and out...? Like I never did all that already with Andy." I responding like I was there in front of him. 

"Well, whatever he expects just be careful! Guys are not the same no more, we've seen this with Andy and now with Jasper." 

"Let's not dog him, before we know him," I replied. 

Was I considering giving him a chance? Was I willing to give myself! But I couldn't even know I said what I did to Andy, I still had a lot of love for him. I knew wouldn't get rid of them anytime soon. 

"So, you're going to get to know him?" She replied tilting her head in shock. 

"It's early days, I will go with the flow, who knows what will happen," I replied thinking about the two outcomes, putting myself in yet another crazy situation, or not regretting this one. 

I looked at the time. 

"Wow! We better get going, look at the time." I replied snapping out of it and grabbing all my things together. We both walked out, waving goodbye to Lisa, I walked remembering the last time I said goodbye to her, I ended up in the hospital later that day. 

Shaking it off I continued walking. I got close to my road. I could see someone outside my door, and then I saw the white car. Was Jasper at my house? Why was he there for?
