-**Meeting - Part Two**- /OC POV

Oh crap. I could feel my legs moving, and I was really glad they were still doing so. I couldn’t believe this. What the hell just happened? Did some God of pranks decided to take a hold of my life and have a blast in ruining it?

I walked to the front of the store, listening to Norma and… him. What the hell was he doing here anyway? Were all the men in my life in for making a chaos out of it?

My life had taken a weird turn since yesterday. After a three day weekend of absolute peace, but filled with heartbreak, and in a space of twenty four hours I was oversexed in a train bathroom, was dumped, got stalked by the man that did it and was slammed against the wall of the store I worked in. Oh man. What the…
Nervousness crashed over me, killing my train of thought.
Jay was here. What the hell was he here for? I wasn’t ready to talk to him yet. I mean, a three year relationship out the window, a month of not showing up, and now this?
And how the hell did… Oh. I didn’t even know his name! How did he listen to them like that? I was getting their voices, but not the content of the talk.

I shook my head. I had to pull myself together. Phases. Phase one: I needed to know what Jay was doing here. I needed to take this by phases, or else my mind would blow itself away with questions. Just like a math problem. Phased.

So I willed my expression to a hard one, used to morphing my expressions at my wish and rounded the bookcase.

And there he was. I felt my heart leap inside my chest at the sight. Shit. Even after all he did to me… He still made my heart race.
He was, as usual, wearing a two piece suit; his tie slacked around his neck, the first button of his shirt opened. His blonde tussled hair was in its usual carefully worked disarray, hands on his pockets as he was facing Norma’s blatantly pissed expression.

"… you can just call, or come back later." She said, with an acid twist to her voice, her arms crossed over her chest in an I-wan’t-you-the-hell-outta-here-you-little-prick kind of look.

"I just want to talk to her." His deep voice rung. "Just call her, I know she’s not at Jane’s; I went there before I came here."

"I’m here." I interjected, making both set of eyes turn to me; his bright blue eyes, softening somewhat once he saw me. I broke the eye contact as I looked at Norma, who was cautious looking at me, almost as she was waiting for me to fall apart at any given moment. It didn’t surprise me: how many times along this last month had she been the witness to my grief and sorrow after Jay left me? Gave her shoulder for me to cry on?

"Isa…" She started. I nodded and, after a bullet look at Jay, she turned around. "I am going to grab my things, and we" she emphasized the pronoun "are going out on a girl’s lunch." She looked over her shoulder to Jay. "No males allowed."

He raised his brow, I smiled at her retreating back and eventually looked at him. I stood where I stopped, a little away from him, one leg taking my whole weight and my arms crossed over my stomach. I scolded my chest for being as tight as it was. I needed to be strong, no matter what brought him here.

"So?"
He cleared his throat.
"I came to see how you where."
"Checking the damage?" Pure raw steel. I was impressed with myself.
"Lis…"
"Don’t." It was a clean cut command, and my eyes hardened. "Don’t you dare calling me that again Jay. I mean it. I am here" I opened my arms. "I am alive. No damage done."

I am so full of it.

"We need to talk. I missed you."
He spoke like he was talking about a casual thing. Not like he had been missing for a whole month after saying we weren’t right for each other and that this would never work. Rage filled me, I felt my teeth cringe.

"Oh I missed you too." I willed my voice to be casual. "And today is a wonderful day isn’t it? Sunny and all."

He breathed heavily, passing his hand over his hair and looked at me. The blue depths where not as cold as before.

"I mean it. I did miss you."

Surprise filled me at this sight… He was never like this. He never spoke like this. I almost felt my resolve crumble. But I couldn’t. He left me. Not the other way around! Where was Norma? I needed to get out of here…

"Are you ready to leave, now? Jane is going to wonder where you are…"

The words were ones I could put in Norma’s lips, but the voice wasn’t hers. Slightly rough, manly, warm voice. I didn’t even have the time to look around once I felt a warm strong arm slide around my waist, one hand possessively clasping the side of my hip. I looked up, a tad too surprised, to see the dark skinned man’s face, smiling at me, winking his eye. And for a moment there, I couldn’t help but smile, like I hadn’t for a long time now.

"Yeah, I’m just going to grab my things."
"My treat today." He rebuffed, with a playful annoyed expression. "We can get back afterwards."
"Why is it always like this? Jesus…" I clicked my tongue. He gave me one hell of a set up, and I was sure as hell not going to waiste it.
"Because I love it when you hiss at me." He answered. And these words reminded me of the times I did hiss at him. And how he usually responded to it in my very small experience. I could feel a blush creeping up my cheeks. Where the hell did that came from? I never blush. Ever.
He tore his dark, almost black eyes from me to look at Jay. Oh man Jay. Did I…? I forgot he was there! What the…

"Did I interrupt something?" he asked, looking at Jay. I looked at him too, and caught his disbelieved expression before he coated it well with indifference. On one hand I was actually sorry for him. But in the name of my last month, I was hoping it was stinging like hell. And that made me smile wider. I used the hand on the arm against the warm body beside me and tangled my fingers with his. He didn’t even hesitate, just like this was a normal occurrence between us.

"No, we’re already finished." Those words seemed to diminish the hole in my broken heart in a way I never thought possible. This simple phrase was a strange sort of closure. Maybe it was possible to get through this. A warm thumb caressed my thumb pad absentmindedly. It felt so natural…

"Are you rea… dy?"

My eyes went to Norma, who was coming towards us looking inside her bag. She stopped in her tracks and phased her last word in syllables once she caught sight of me and him. I pleaded with my eyes, trying to get a message to her I hoped she understood. Jay and him where in some sort of staring match, Jay looking cold and detached, him smiling smugly. I wanted to slap him and at the same time bite him. Ambivalences.

"Oh! You came to have lunch with her again?"

Norma, I love you.

"Yep, you know I can’t stay away for long." He smiled at her. He was sure as hell a darn good actor. "You coming? Jane’s, as usual."

Damn it no. How was I going to explain this to Norma now? Oh hey, sorry. This guy, that I don’t even know his name, we met yesterday. He made me clean the train’s wall bathroom yesterday, with my back, and we were seriously making out at the back of the store a while ago. Oh, and did I told you I met him yesterday?

Disaster.

"No… I am meeting Ben. Just got a call from him." She looked at me with a devious You-are-so-going-to-spill-your-guts smile that made me gulp nervously. "You guys met each other yet?"

She was a bitch and was having fun, watching the way Jay shifted his footing, looking incredibly out of place. I didn’t blame him. The man was huge, taller than us both, since we were about the same height. The black jeans hugged his strong thighs, and his white t-shirt was stretched over the incredible muscles of his chest. The muscles… I hissed in my mind, and nearly growled. He looked like he could break someone in half without even breaking a sweat.

"No." He said, extending his free hand towards Jay, with a smile. "Jacob Black."

Jacob.

"Jason White." Jay extended his hand and they shook hands. Jacob’s eyes were smiling mischievously as it seemed he was putting more force then necessary on that handshake.

Jay’s eyes were startled for half a second before he coated it well again, like the proficient lawyer he was. Probably because of the warmth?

"Nice to meet you." He said, and flashed a smile, letting go of Jay’s hand. I watched as he lowered it, flexing his fingers, confirming the unnecessary strength idea I entertained a while ago. Jacob looked at Norma, with his smile still in place. "Is that Lis’s bag? I will take that."

I nearly chocked when he called me that. How the hell did he… Norma seemed as curious as I was, if not more. She handed him my bag and looked at me with such a devious smile I internally cringed. I was in for a hundred questions session after this…

"I will walk you to the door." Jacob said looking at Jay. His arm left my waist and we disentangled fingers, as he walked to the door and opened it for Jay. "After you." Smug smile again. Damn it I like it when he did that.

Jay looked at me like he was about to say something, but he ended up clenching his jaw and going out the door, Jacob right after him.

And Norma and I were alone. The door didn’t even have time to close.

"Isa, what the hell? You bitch! AH! Who is that? Where did you guys meet? Why didn’t you tell me?"

Her expression went from surprise to scolding, to excited ending in a playful hurt expression. I raised my hands to calm her and stop the sputtering of questions.

"Calm down. It’s complicated. He’s a recent acquaintance…"
"Recent my ass! You guys smell like the sex! Ahaha, did you see Jay’s face? Oh my God that man is gorgeous!" She continued rambling while she looked at Jacob through the glass door, her thumbnail caught between her lips. "Dear Lord, where did you meet him?" She looked at me again.

Jacob opened the door, sticking his head in.

"Lis, you coming?"
"Yeah, just a sec…"
He winked his eye, and my stomach did something weird. He closed the door again.
Norma gasped.
"Zoh my God. Isa, you’re blushing!"
"I am not!"
I was.
She laughed, almost maniacally.
"You are sooooo gonna tell me. Not now, but you are SO gonna tell me!" She grabbed my hand and took us towards the door. "I am going to pass by your house tonight. Or is he staying over?" She looked at me and stopped. Her eyes widened as she seemed to be reading my expression. She gasped and slapped my arm. "Zoh MY GOD!" She shrieked. "He is isn’t he?"

Was he? I didn’t know!

"I don’t know Norma. I told you, it’s complicated."
"Complicated my ass. Oh man, you are going to spill it, you are going to pass here this afternoon and tell me. I will call you if you don’t. I need details!" She opened the door and stepped out. Jacob was waiting there, leaned against the wall, facing us.

"So… huh Jacob." She smiled.
He smiled too. They seemed to be in a conversation I couldn’t ear. She smiled brighter.
"Jake." He offered.
"Jake then." She looked at me. "See you soon." She turned to him again. "See you soon?"
He nodded and she seemed pleased.
"Bye bye guys!" She waved goodbye. "Lock the door for me… Lis." And her smile was genuinely happy as she sped down the street. I watched her leave until she turned at the corner and was gone.

I was nearly afraid to look at him.
Really, I was thinking I was going to turn, and he wouldn’t be there.
Or probably I would wake up from the dream I was having since yesterday. Because I had thoroughly convinced myself that was all it was.
I was surprised once I saw it wasn’t so.

"So… Jake, huh?"
"So… Lis, huh?"

We just stood there, looking at each other, and ended up laughing. It was a strange, free laugh and it felt darn good. I was lighter. I have never felt this light I think. It was almost a childish feeling.

I extended my hand towards him.

"Elisa Wolfe."

He caught my hand, with a crocked smile. What was so funny?

"Jacob Black."

We shook hands, smiling.

"Nice to meet you." We said in unison, earning again a set of laughs from both of us.

He didn’t let go of my hand. And I realized I really didn’t want to let go either. Actually I took another step towards him, until our hands were clasped still dangling from our arms, between us.

I felt the need to gulp, as I lost myself in the depths of his dark eyes.

"Thanks for that… Jake." I kind of liked the way his name laced around my tongue.

"You’re welcome… Lis." He smiled and my stomach did another circus act on me again. What was this? I didn’t even know this man!

Was I just so angry at Jay that I was rebuffing the feelings I had for him and got wrapped up in another person, so that it wouldn’t hurt anymore?

Did this man deserve this?

My mind entertained the idea that this was all backwards.

Normally people meet first, then meet friends, and then have sex.

Well maybe not meet friends, but I am sure that meeting comes before sex.

Yes, my mind is all over the place.

I could feel the charge between us as we fell silent again, watching each other. Just watching. I gulped again. He stepped to me again, and I could feel the intense heat coming from him. Was he always this warm?

"You’re hot damn it." Eloquence as always been my forte.

"You are repeating yourself..." He smirked. Damn him and his spiking. "...but thanks anyway."

"I mean…" I stepped again towards him. I could feel the heat emanating from him at the short distance, I had to look upwards to face him, and I considered myself a tall person. "Nevermind…"

"Lunch?"

"Hungry?"

"Famished." Smirk again. Double sense for the win. I felt my stomach doing another back flip. I would really appreciate if it stopped doing that.

I looked at our bind hands.

"Jake, I need my hand back."

"No I don’t actually…" Needless to say, I slapped myself mentally.

He smiled, not a smirk but a smile, and let go. I missed the heat, even if it was hot outside.

"So… Where is this Jane’s?"

AN – Continuation

There will be continuation.
Slow with no reviews. Faster with reviews.

So if you do not:

1 – like it enough
2 – have the will
3 – have time to spare

… you just have to be patient.

Danke.
