Flashback continues for next couple of chapters

As my feet found purchase on the floor and I recovered some of my, err, non-existent balance, some deep chuckling came from in front of me. I looked up into the eyes of the man standing there and I got lost. His dark brown eyes were piercing my own chocolate brown eyes like they were a window into my soul. I was immediately in love – or so I thought.

"Jacob," he said, sticking his hand out at the same time for me to shake.

"Bella," I replied, picking up his warm hand in a hard grip.

As soon as our hands made contact I swore I felt a little spark jump between them. I think both of us held on for a little too long. Jacob smiled warmly at me then brought my hand to his lips. I was still blushing throughout the whole entire exchange but this made my blush get even darker.

"At this point in time I am a little lonely, yes," I said in response to his earlier question.

He chuckled at that. It was a deep, bass chuckle and sent thrills through my body.

"May I have the honour of accompanying you sometime to dinner then to cure you of that sad, sad happening?"

I stared at him not really comprehending that someone soooo soooooooo H.O.T would be even talking to me.

"Are you OK? Hello?" Jacob questioned me.

"Uh yeah sorry. Um, what did y-you say again?" I stammered back.

"May I have the honour of accompanying you sometime to dinner to cure you of that sad, sad happening?" he asked again

"Sure," I replied then I silently reprimanded myself. Come on Bella is that all you can come up with? Don't mess this up!
