Sorry for the late update. I had a case of writers block.

Chapter 11: Eyes On Fire

Jamie stood up to pull out my chair, I gave him a quiet thank you embarrassed that everyone's eyes were on us. His reply was to give me his signature smile. I was about to reach for the wine when Jamie got to it first.

"Here, let me." he said pouring the wine into my glass. His arm brushed against mine sending shivers down my body.

"Thanks." I said finally looking up at him.

"Anytime."

Jasper cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention.

"Where are my manners. Everyone this is Jamie, he's new to the law firm. He actually transferred from LA and he's one badass, he actually just won us a huge case that's been kicking our ass the past few weeks."

"Nice to meet everyone. Jasper here is one funny guy, the stories he has about everyone makes for an interesting day at the office." Jamie said to everyone.

Gah I hope Jasper didn't say anything embarrassing about me.

"Tell us about yourself man." Emmett asked him while filling is plate with so much food.

"Well, I'm originally from New York up until I was 18. I decided to move to LA for law school. It was hard at first transitioning since I'm very close to my family. Eventually I graduated with honors and I was working for Volturi Law until now. LA wasn't where I wanted to be anymore so I decided that Seattle was a good place to start new." Jamie told everyone.

Hmm no mention of girlfriend or ex girlfriend.

"Are you leaving anyone behind?"

Thank you Alice!

Jamie's face turned red with the mention of a girlfriend.

"I did have a girlfriend but we ended our relationship five months ago when I decided to transfer here." He stated

The rest of the night was full of laughter and getting to know Jamie more. I found out he's 28, he likes baseball, golfing, his favorite beer is Guiness, he enjoys comedy and horror movies, his favorite author is Stephen King, if he wasn't a lawyer he'd want to be a teacher.

"You know I'm actually a teacher myself." I told him feeling more confident talking to him.

"Really? What grade?"

"Kindergarten. I love kids. I actually have two, Elizabeth and Masen. They mean more to me than anything in the world." I started to get a little teary eyed talking about them. I miss them so much.

Jamie wiped the corner of my eyes. His hand lingered on my cheek. I felt like I couldn't breath.

"Have dinner with me tomorrow night." Jamie said looking into my eyes.

"I'd love too." I responded quickly.

What a way to end the night.
