"Oh, gosh I'm so sorry." Wow. He was truly angelic. That was the only way to describe him. Angelic. Not to mention, I'm almost one hundred recent sure, that this is the guy from my dream.

"No problem." He smiled "oh, are you going to the speed dating?" he asked.

"No, I've just come out. You didn't miss anything, they were all sixty, at the least." I laughed. "Well I suppose, I'm not sixty." I mumbled.

"I don't know if I can agree." He said mostly to himself.

"Pardon?" I was seriously confused. What was he on a bout?

"I'm saying, I think I did miss something." He said looking straight into my eyes. What was that? Did I just imprint? I think I did. Oh lord.

"And what's that?" I asked, smiling like a Cheshire cat.

He didn't say anything, just blushed. Aww, he is so sweet. There were a few seconds silence before we spoke, both unwilling to leave. He broke the silence. "Um, would you like to come for a drink with me?" he asked shyly. " You know, since I missed the whole speed dating thing." He added quickly.

"I'd love too." I smiled.

"Oh, I'm Eric by the way. Eric Yorkie"

"Leah. Leah Clearwater." I smiled intently.

"So where are you from?" he asked. We'd ordered our drinks and were sitting in a dimly lit corner of a quite bar.

"La push, near forks." I told him. I couldn't take my eyes off his face.

"Oh yeah, I know. Actually I'm from forks." He chuckled slightly. "Small world."

"Yeah, it is." I said. He went to say something, but stopped short. "go ahead, if you want to say something." I hope I didn't sound pushy.

"No I feel rude." He smiled.

"No, go ahead, I don't mind." I smiled encouragingly. I want to hear anything he has to say.

"Are all the guys in la push on steroids?" he asked a little awkwardly. "I was just thinking of something that happened in high school. You see. And I remember an incident with a guy…Jacob Black I think it was, yeah. Edward Cullen too and my friend Bella. I don't know whether you know them." My face must have betrayed my confusion. But I can see why he'd think they are on steroids. Maybe if he liked me as I liked him, he'd find out the real reason.

"Oh, Jacob and I are…good friends." I laughed. "And I think everyone knows the Cullens. Aren't Bella and Edward married now?" I asked acting oblivious.

"Yeah, they are. My friends went to their wedding." He smiled, obviously happy to help. It feels odd being so comfortable with a total stranger when I haven't had a relationship in years. Only when someone come to take our glasses and we had to lean back did I realise we'd been leaning towards each other. I smiled at that.

"Do you want another drink? My round." I asked.

"Actually, I have to go, I have to baby sit for my cousin." He told me, he seemed a little upset at the idea of leaving.

"Oh, that's ok. I should probably get going anyway." I smiled. It was probably getting late and no doubt Alice will want to know what happened tonight.

"Well, give me your number, and we can go out some time." He smiled. "In the very near future." He added in a whisper a normal human wouldn't hear. But, with my super sensitive hearing, I could hear.

"07846286442" I told him. I'm glad I know my number off by heart 'cause I'd look like a fool trying to find it.

"Thanks, I'll call you sometime in the week." He told me as we walked through the door of he bar, out into the rain. "'Bye." He said as he kissed me on the cheek.

"'Bye." I managed to stutter out. Did he really just kiss me? I could still feel the tingle on my cheek from where his lips brushed my skin. If I die today I'll die happy.

"Tell me everything." Alice squealed as I got into her car. Mine was still I the garage. Actually Jake's fixing it for me.

"There's nothing to tell." I said simply.

"Of course there's something to tell." She pushed

"Well, yeah I suppose. The speed dating was awful. All the guys were old. And I mean Billy Black old."

"But…"

"There is not but." I lied smoothly.

"If there's no but why are you…glowing?"

"Glowing?" I asked. Rolling my eyes.

"Yes. You seem to be sending out really happy vibes. I don't need jasper here to tell me that." She smiled widely. She obviously didn't hear my sarcasm or chose to ignore it. The second is most likely. "You know I'm going to find out one way or another." She expression was oddly intimidating.

"Alice!" I moaned. But she didn't have a time to reply because my phone started to vibrate in my bag.

I dug it out and pressed answer. "Hello?" I asked into the receiver.

"Hey Leah, it's me. Eric." He laughed to himself.

"Oh, hey." I said trying to sound indifferent. "I didn't think you were ringing me until next week?"

"Well, I was, but I…" he seemed change his sentence. "Didn't want you thinking I was one of those guys, who get a girls number saying they'll call them and don't."

"I never thought you were one of those guys." I said blushing.

"Oh, ok." I though I could hear the smile in his voice. "Well now you have my number too, so if I forget to call, not that I will, but if I do, you can call me." He said quickly, obviously embarrassed.

" I will." I smiled.

"Ok well, bye."

"Bye." I said and hung up.

"I knew there was a but. Now tell me." Alice urged.

"Fine," I agreed, and started the story from when I got out of her car.


Remember.

Review

Did I mention review?

Give me some ideas of how they can become a couple and cutesy stuff they can do together between here and the bomb fire. (Because obviously there'll be since Leah has imprinted.

Oh. Btw you'll have noticed I've changed the name from 'Leah's happily ever after' to 'just the beginning' because I intend to write sequels to this story :)
