A Look into the Future: Jacob Black Chapter 3

Annabelle stared at Jacob he was something chiseled by gods that was for sure how could a human look like that. She licked her lips then turned her attention to Shane. "He's just lifting weights" Annabelle said, Be that as it may it was hard not to watch Jacob, how could he not expect to be looked at like a piece of meat? She knew it must be hard though. she herself was having such a difficult time adjusting to the job, what it must have been like for him. She watched the way others watched him, it made her uncomfortable. "Shane I have to go get those measurements," She stood up and took a last look at Jacob she smiled and went to Tristan.

Annabelle said her farewell to Declan who was instructed to save a seat for Shane. The ballet girls were powdering thier pointe shoes and lifting their hair in buns. She was throwing on loose fitting clothes that she didnt much like a pair of tiny denim shorts and an over sized pink muscle short and a black sports bra underneath. Lilly stood in the corner in costume and make up already inhaling and exhaling, "How are you never nervouse, Annabelle" Lilly paced. "I've performed since i was thirteen.." She answered as the last few touches of make up were being applied. "Lilly you always freak out before our performances, and you always do perfect, no need to be afraid." LIlly nodded worry still in her eyes, but im bad at hip hop what if i fall! You have the steps down perfect of course your not nervous." "yea i just look super ridiculous in this outfit and will look even worse out there, i make the most akward faces ive noticed that" She looked back in the mirror and put on her paws that she was to wear. Her intrctor came in "Annabelle!" She turned his face was worried. "Thank god your already in make up and costume, i need a big favor from you. Miley got sick, she isnt able to come tonight and i dont have a pricible dancer for the tango, and since you pretty much helped Fernando come up with most the female coreography do you think you could step in.." Annabellle looked at him and was about ready to jump up and down,, she wanted the Tango, not the hip-hop. "Yes!" Her instructor looked at her. "You'll do both solos? You know you'll only have about tenminutes to prep for the Tango after your hip hop." Annabelle looked down dismayed. "I'd still have to hip hop?" She made a face. "Yes but we're altering the dress a bit already your a bit talle than Miley so their fixing the hem, and the corset will have to be a size smaller for you. He took her into a hug and smiled. "Thank you Annabelle you're getting extra credit for sure this term." With that he walked out. "Ooooh! You get to dance twice tonight." Lilly smiled. "You have to be the luckiest girl." Annabelle rolled her eyes, she couldnt help be happy she got to dance twice but still she was worried she wouldnt look good out thier." She walked out the dressing room down into the lobby with a large hoody over her outfit, she looked over the crowd, it was full she saw Declan beside someone she couldn't quite make out, but didnt seem to be Shane.

Shane lingered on his boss' body inhaleing and inhaling, the rope of muscle tightening. It got him hot everytime. He looked around to all the ladies watching and he felt a bit proud, that was his boss, not theirs. He licked his lips once and left. Annabelle had to go prepare for her recital, and he was pretty excited to go see her, this was going to be their bonding thing, hopefully she was as genuine as she sounded. Jake could here them whispering, snickering, gigling, their scents were everywhere- it was gross. He let off the steam he had built up inside him since morning. The other guys in the gym tried really hard not to stare, but they too were staring, jealous of his physical appearance, why did people care about that so much. It irked him, but then upon gods and moons will he was born with beauty, and thankful it got him to success in a way
: He knew Shane oogled at him, but he was surprised to see Annabelle watching too, he would have never guessed. Just as Shane was leaving Jake grabbed his towel and walked out the gym. He smelled of musk and sweat and heat he walked up next to Shane, "Where are you headed off to so quickly" Shane blushed, he couldnt believe Jacob saw him staring "Annabelle has a recital- Im going to watch her" But Shane took the opportunity to tell him about her recital, maybe, maybe she would see he isn't like those guys on the floor below them.

"A Recital huh? That thing she has been talking about since last week?" Jake acted smug, as if he didnt know, but he knew exactly what he was talking about. "You need a ride there?" Shane turned to look at him as if he was surprised, but knew that would be his answer. Shane felt everyone's eyes on them, or on Jake. "You should put a shirt on soon Sir- or you might get caught for indecent exposure" Shane joked, "And yea, ride would be nice- Wear one of you fancy suits, its Juliard remember" With that Shane sped off to do his business so he could be cleared for the day. Once ready he went to meet Jake at his car, "If only i drove cars like this- i could have a boyfriend by now" Shane said in a dramatic voice.

Jake chuckled, "Im just going to stop by Menswear House to change into something nice" Thats what Jake did, he didnt go home when he had people with him, he never showed anyone where he lived, it was his sanctuary and noone was welcome there. Once Jake had a nice suit to wear he was back in his car. "You looked very put together i must say" Jake wore a Black suit jack and suit pant with nice shiny black leather shoes. His tie was a mix of Black and Crimson and his button up shirt was a deep crimson color.

They walked in following the signs, Jake mostly followed her scent. "Sir, this way-"Jake was taken aback, he forgot she would be back stage. "Oh, right- Arnt you supposed to buy the dancer flowers or something?" Jake asked "Yea, but she will know we came straight from work and that we had to hurry to get seats. Shane noticed that there was a single seat empt in the middle near a gentle man and a chick "Sir would you like that seat?" "No shane go ahead, i rather stand, i dont want to ruin the suit" Shane shrugged and headed toward the seat. The gentle mand aske if he was Shane, "Oh! you must be her brother, i should have known you look like the boy inthe picture on her desk. I am Shane, nice to meet you!" Shane took a seat just as the curtains rushed open

Jake stood in the back, he could see everything, the colors were bright and engaging. Jake thought before her dance came up he would quickly go buy a bouqet of roses. So in 6 minutes flat he had a amazingly large, gorgeous bouquet of delishiously red roses in his hands that people stared at, ot maybe they were staring at him. He stood there, with the roses on the table next to him the entire show waiting to be able to congratulate her

The lights shined as Annabelle walked on she was gratefull for the lights they kept her from looking at everyone. She had been performing since she was 14 she loved the crowd and she loved the way they looked at her with admiral eyes, she liked showing off and with it she remembered why she loved dancing, it was worth thr bruises and soreness. The hip hop went off without a hitch. her body moved to the beat the way she knew the steps clearly. The one light shone and her and it was her time to shone she used the attitude her instrcuctors told her to although she felt weird doing it, when the lights fimmed she hurried off and was slipped into the tango dress, people picked at her hair and applied darker eyeliner and red lipstick she stepped in the heels and was pushed back onto the stange, her moves flowed better and she felt more comfortable every pirouette was perfect her lifts were flawless her partner moved to her lead and fallowed her steps, The lights dimmed and the final dance was done, the dancers jumped with glee excited for the next recital and happy that this one was over. "Annabelle you did perfect." Lilly smiled as they started walking out in thier evening gowns, thier was an after party for the dancers. She wore a long yellow gown that revealed her back with corsets strings. She smiled "Thanks" She saw Declan and rushed over to him. "How'd you like it?" She smiled she turned back and saw Shane she smiled and hugged him.

Shane was so proud of her, all her worrying paid off, that girl was stunning in the Tango, "Darling! you made that stage shine!" Shane hugged her back. "And guess what, Jacob came to see you. He standing somewhere in the back somewhere" He sorta of man giggled. "And your brother was adorably gentlemanly, i might have kissed him if his girlfriend wasn't here" he said the last part as a joke, hoping that they understood it as a joke.

Jake watched her come alive up there. It was she was finally awake, finally smiling inside. This is what she was meant to be doing and her father stuck her in a car company, what a douche bag. He watched as she hugged her brother and Shane, she was happy to be doing this and to be around all these people, her friends, where did he fit in here- he didnt, he couldnt just barge into someones life, he wasnt even invited to this gig. He looked at a little boy who was standing by the door in a nice suit he walked over to him "Young man can you do me a favor? Can you give this bouquet to the dancer over there" he said pointing to Annabelle, "Sure mr, its soooo big, she is going to love it i bet." With that Jake was heading for the door.

Declan handed Annabelle a purple orchid one of her favorite flowers, he always gave her one after she performed ever since she was a beginner and only danced for him in thier living room. "Shane's right, you looked beautiful out there as always." He leaned in and kissed her cheek. "Are you going to the party with me?" Annabelle asked. "Sorry Annabelle, Saph and i have to go back to the studio, we have a shoot tomorrow we have to get the set prepared for morning. Saphire is already in the car actually" A frown formed across Annabelle's mouth, more like a pout. "But Declan you always come with me to the after show party." She pouted keeping her posture. She understood the rules better here she looked good played nice and smiled, now why was it so difficult to apply that attitude at work. She rolled her eyes and shrugged "Shane your invited of course, would you like to come?" Annabelle was bumped into by a pile of roses more than a dozen, more than two dozen. A small boy carried it to her, She smiled and leaned down. "These are you for you," the boy smiled lifting the roses that seemed to be bigger than he himself. Annabelle smiled and took them in her arms. "Well thank you, sweetie." "The big man over there asked me to give them to you." Annabelle looked up to see Jacob. "I'll be right back." She rushed over her dress swishing behind her as she carried the roses. He turned to her and stopped, She stood before him, "Hi." She smiled. "Thank you for these, their beautiful." She gestured to the roses, she did love them, it was more than she deserved and they smelled heavenly. Her earings sparkled in his eyes, his reflection glazed across her silver eyes. She placed a hand on her hip. "Mr, Black were you leaving without telling me goodbye?" an eyebrow raised her arm growing a bit tired from holding the large bouquet of roses. Why was he here. she wondered, perhaps he was there for her, he wanted to see her, he wanted to see her dance, and be happy and see her be herself, not the clone she had to be at work, not the brat when she shopped, maybe he just wanted her. She licked her lips. "Would you like to come with me to our after show party?" She asked without even thinking, what was the worst he could say? No.

Jake hadnt wanted her to find out that he had given them to her, the boy wasnt supposed to tell. Thats why he was on his way out. "Uh, your welcome. And you dont have have to call me Mr. Black when we aren't in the office you know" Jake tousled his hair and looked nervouse, there were a lot of people here, a lot of scents and people were already talking about his reason for being there. "I well- I wasnt invited so i didnt think a bye was necessary so i was just leaving" He watched her fidget with the roses, "You were really great up there you know" He cleared his throat, he had never had to be nice to anyone in a long time and he was out of practice. "The after party?" Jake didnt do stuff like that, there were too many opportunities for people to make him look bad, to give the media an excuse to make him look bad. "I dont match with your dress" "Well you can go change like you always do sir" Shane cut in. He and Declan were behind her now. "I can't be there soooo Jacob you should go in my place, so you can tell me exactly what happened" Shane was giving Jake an excuse to go, thats exactly what he wanted, he loved Shane for that, for understanding exactly what he wanted, smart ole gay guy i owe you one."Well, okay then" Jake hadnt looked at Declan yet, but he smelled familiar, as if he had met him before, his scent was nostalgic but he couldnt put his finger on it. "I guess ill go change and meet you there?"

Annabelle shook her head, "No no no, I'll change you'd be suprised how many evening dresses we have in our dressing rooms I;ll only be a minute" She turned to Shane and "Will you hold these for me please?" She handed him the bouquet of roses "bye Declan I'll be home early" She kissed his cheek and walked back to the dressing room, she slipped into a long red dress with beading on its side. Lilly walked in. "Hey, who''s the hunk?" she asked as she grabbed a tube of lipstick applying more. "One of my Boss;s" Annabelle said pinning her hair up. "So be good, I'll see you at the party." Annabelle walked back out.

Declan looked Jacob up and down, he as intimidating that was certain but he was technically taking his sister out. She let out his hand to him, Saphire must have been getting impatient waiting in the car. "I'm Declan Coin." he extended his hand to Jacob. He wasnt sure about him, the introduction was short before Annabelle walked out, "It was nice meeting you Shane," He smiled. "Carefull with her," Declan said as he started iout towards the door. Annabelle walked up to Jacob in fully new attire. "I think the dress goes better with the roses." She smiled. "Are you ready?"

Jake barely got to introduce himself to Declan. He felt bad for the guy, anybody else would have been a little less intimidating then him but he liked the kids guts to look him up and down. Jake dad to do that for his sisters boyfriends. "Jacob" jake said shaking his hand, making sure it ws firm. Jake looked at her, red was amazing on her. the contrast between her skin color was haunting. "You look BEAUTIFUL! hunni you'll make everyone drool" Shane said handing her the flowers back "If i dont leave now i might start a jealous cat fight" Shane joked. He gave her a quick hug, nodded towards jake, and wlked out the door to his new car. Jake looked at her some more, "You looke very different, not the unclassy dresser i was familiar with" He smirked a little showing a bit of his teeth, "Are we taking my car or urs?"

Annabelle kept her head straight. "I'm not quite sure i should take that as a compliment?" She looked up at him his smile was perfect thats the smile she asked for, "Well, would you mind being seen in my car? It's not as showy as yours."

"I wouldnt mind- but i match my car right now" He joked, "But its your choice- as long as the thing runs"

Annabelle looked we match my car too, but if matching means so much to you, Jacob," it was strange for her to call him by that, she was used to sir or Mr, Black. She licked her lips, "We can take your car." when in front of the ostentatious car she looked up at him. "I dont suppose you'd let me drive?" she joked

"It doesnt really matter my dear, that was a joke if you hadnt noticed, i cant be funny sometimes" Jake grinned again "And never in a millions years will i let anyone drive my cars" He looked down at her, he noticed how much he had to bend his neck to see her, she was avg female hieght and he was a monster.

"It doesnt really matte rmy dear, that was a joke if you hadnt noticed, i cant be funny sometimes" Jake grinned again "And never in a millions years will i let anyone drive my cars" He looked down at her, he noticed how much he had to bend his neck to see her, she was avg female hieght and he was a monster.

"you make joke's?" She lead him to her car, "Well we'll see about that who knows maybe you'll change your mind when you see how wonderful a driver i am." With her heels she still had to look up to see him, She got in the Driver;s seat of her car.

Jake ignored the comment with a grin and followed her out. He wasnt used to sitting in the passenger side, either he was the driver or in the back seat or a long car. He was worried about going to this thing, he didnt know what to expect, he was nerouse and excited at the same time. He was still a littl eunsure about how to behave around her

Annabelle looked over to him. He was fidgiting the way she did the first time she was in the passengers seat of his car. "Something wrong?"

"The cars a little on the small side, im a bit tall remember?"

: "I'm a bit small, you should have seen how many safety pins they jabbed in me to get that Tango dress to fit." She was tired of the akwardness that happened when the two were alone. "So, how'd you know to come?"

"Shane told me, does it bother you?"

Annabelle shook her head, "Nope" They arrived at the hotel the party was being held, She saw dancers upon dancers exit outthier cars in thier eveining dresses with thier escorts, She hardly waited for the valet to open her door, the dancers were the people she felt most comfortable around. But the stares she recieved when Jacob exited the car and was by her side was dis earning

There was a lot of people there, lots of cameras and flashes and cameras and flashes and cameras- those made him nervouse. Everyone stared at them. for once he wasnt sure if they were looking at him or her, because she battled him how amazing she looked. He held his arm out so she could hold it as they entered the hotel. he siged, too late now flash after flash, people recognized him

Annabelle looked up at him constantly she saw how the cameras made him uncomfortable. "Thier not starinf at you.' She smiled and patted his arm trying to help him feel at ease. "I'm the pricible dancer, thier here for me." She shrugged, the party room was beautiful, a gold chendelier hung fromm the ceiling illuminating the place having the trinkets shine, an orchestra was in the corner. Dancer's and Coreographers danced with eachother. Women's eyes stared in an unfamiliar way to her, men looked at Jacob with snickers and sneers. "Annabelle, you did great." The Tango coreographer walked up to her suit and tie presentable. "Thier is no possible way any dance company would deny you admittence." Annabelle turned her eyes down. "I told you, i cant become a part of a dance company." He was the instructor who always seemed to remind her of that. "Would you like to dance?" She asked looking up at Jacob tugging his arm a bit so he could know she wanted to be away from him.

Jake tried to hide in her recognition shadow, when she tugged at his arm he got a nostalgic thump in his heart, he missed have a girlfriend more than anything in the world, some one who he could share all of himself with. "Sure, icant dance as well as the other gentlemen here, just letting you know" Jake was actually pretty good at dance. He had to learn many of the latin ballroom dances for charity dances, balls, parties and etc. Dorsey invested his money on top notch dance instructors for him. Jake actually liked it, it was very out of his element and it challenged him. Emily was impressed when he danced with her, and made her giggle like a little girl. Jake like giving her that feeling.

Jake led her onto the dance floor and led her in a slow venetian waltz, "Why dont you want to dance with a company?"

"just get up an dancce no one cares if you cant dance well." Annabelle said. "And im sure i've danced with worse." Annebelle looked up at him, the heels made it a bit easier butthier was still a foot of height unaccounted for. "I never said i didnt want to be in a dance company, i said i cant." she moved with him, he lead "I thought you said you cant dance?" She said, She looked around the room eyes stared "I was in the american balley academy before i was in julliard my dad took me out before the company audtitions, i was one of the twelve girls accepted," She paused looking back up at him. "I needed a real education my dad said and julliard isnt so bad." She didnt talk to anyone about her life about her past, her brother was her best friend and he experienced what she experienced. she enjoyed having someone to tell but it was strange for her as well

Jake was just listening to what she had to say, he was a listener, that was one of his best qualities. He let her talk, it surprised him she was comfortable enough to talk to him she seemed like a very closed person about private stuff. He twrilled her around the dance floor, and by the end of the music they were the only ones on the dance floor.

Annabelle tore her eyes from his face it was hard to look at him, dozens of eyes stared at the two as the music ended, "Sorry," they started walking off the dance floow, she took a glass of champaigne from one of the silver platters a server was walking around with. "My life story isnt all that interesting."

"Why did you say sorry? What are you sorry for" Jake watched her sip at the champagne. He didnt get one, he never drank when out in public like this, brings a bad image. "Lets go sit." Jake led her to any empty table in the middle of the room but at the edge near a wall. "So miss. Annabelle wat is this uninteresting life story you speak of" he said pulling the chair out for her and pushing her in under the table

"It's more of a long misfortunate story filled with a dumb girl who made a lot of mistakes." She paused unsure is she should tell him. "My parents have this great Coin name built up, "i tainted it" she lifted up her fingers in quotes. "I had to be taught a few lessons," She didnt say anything else it was unnecessary,

"Well guess what, lifes a bitch, after awhile you kinda get over it and things get better. Dont worry so much about what happened and concentrate on what will happen and what can happen. Well that was my advice for the night- whats the plan now?"

Annabelle smiled. "I think thats excellent advice but little did my dad know, i gain more attention here than i did back home with this job" She shrugged. "I dunno, what would you like to do. Mr. Bla-" She stopped herself. "Jacob, i mean."

"I dont know tonight is your night, you tell me"

"You want to spend the night with me?"

"Wait what? Who said that-" he cleared his throat, that was a blunt statement that scared him. hopefully she didnt mean what he was thinking but hopefully she didnt know what he thought when that came out of her mouth

"Oh, no i meant umm...spend the night? no i mean i mean hang out with me?"

"Oh, uh, if you want me to, its not like saturday morning awaits me with surprises or anything. But dont you want to go hang out with your dancer friends, you spent the entire night with me. Go mingle a little, ill wait here for you- then maybe we can go catch some dinner"

Annabelle almost laughed. "Umm, i see my dancer friends all the time." She looked around. "And most dont look very friendly right now." She shrugged. "I enjoy your company."

"Why do you enjoy my company- most would say the very opposite- you seem to dispise me almost- "

"Despise you? No.I sometime dont approve of your attitude but i guess that goes both ways."

"Yes, it does go both ways doesnt it?" He chuckled a little. "How about another dance, lets make it a faster one huh? Do you fox trot? Samba? Cha Cha?

Annabelle looked up. "Did you see me hip hop? i look prettier with elegent things." she stood up. "Fox trot."

"How about i challenge you with the paso-doble?" Or maybe a little salsa or rumba? Jake was enjoying this, dancing- it was so wierd, he never liked dancing, and here he was trying to show off his dance skills to an assistant? how weird

Annabelle was unsure at first she was no good with moving her hips she liked his touch and his smile, the way he moved with her, the way he challenged her to keep up with him. Curls of hair fell out of place. She stepped on his foot twice. "Sorry." She laughed. All eyes were on them as before. she wasnt used to so much attention anymore, not since Canada.

Jake wasnt used to dancing, most of all shaking his hips like he had any. He threw his suit jacket onto a table where a few women stared at him. He went to the DJ to as him for a fast latin song. The DJ nodded and with that jake started of with fast foot work and hip movement. She walked onto the floor like a cat on the prowl. Twisting and twirling was too easy he had to remember he had the strength to through her acoss the room and kill her. He had to watch his touch. He skin was smooth and soft, and cool against his finger tips. The music was just right for his intricate footwork- he wanted to impress her, to show her that there was more to him then just a business suit and an attitude. Sweat beads dropped from his forehead, he was controlling his movements too much and he needed to slow down but the music and the astonished look on her face kept him going. He twirled her, their legs touched and the feel of her thighs against his, his hand brushing up her arm, her intense stare, and the little curls of hair. She could move her hips like no other, and thats what he lacked, but it was pretty good for how bulky he was. The song ended and he end with a bow in front of her and a kiss on her fingers and he twirled her out of his arms.

Annabelle's breathe was quickened, he surely made her move faster than usual. She took his hand fitting her fingers inbetween hers, her eyes became admiral, perhaps it was just an early judgment but he was different than what he seemed to be, she leaned on him as resting her head on him almost. She looked up at him and smiled, "You lied to me, Jacob, you said you cant dance, She lifted her dress as she walked.. with him more flashes from the cameras

"I said i cant dance, and i cant, that wasnt dancing, that was me- improving and trying to seem like i am more than i am- just trying to impress you my dear" He got her and ice water, "Ready to eat some itallian food?

You feel a need to impress me? Should i be trying to impress you" She took the water and sipped at it slowly.

"No, not at all- "

"You know your not so bad Mr Black," She smiled. "I almost like you."

"You may regret that one day, its best to not like people you dont know." Jake picked up his suit coat and headed towards the door "Dinner is calling my name Annabelle, would you please join me"

Annabelle fallowed. "You think so? I think not knowing makes someone all the more alluring."
"That is dangerous, in my world, that can get you dead" Jake couldnt believe he just said that, he was- talking way too much with this girl, she cant know, moon what did he just say he sighed as the valet brought the car, "Im driving" without waiting for an answer he got into the drivers seat and tapped the wheel as he waited for her to get in

No reservation required, the waiter showed them to a table witha beautiful view. Annabelle looked over the window non stop. "Hmmm, im a spaghetti kinda girl," She said as she looked over the menu. "Any suggestion? What do you like to eat?" She smiled "What's your favorite color, favorite animal, favorite opera She asked question after question, she was sure if she should expect an answer, she wanted to know him and this would probably be the last time to get him alone with her.

He didnt know if she heard the morbidity in his voice but he stayed silent for a while, he sipped at the whiskey he had ordered. "All like pasta period no favorites, its a carb- crimson, wolf, dont watch opera" The laugh on his lip was gone, he needed to hide again once more seclude himself in that shell he had created for the past few years, he couldnt let her in, there was no way, she would kill him- "I suggest the manicotti, but i dont know if you would like that. Im ordering the seabass"

Annabelle kept her smile as his faded. "Do i make you uncomfortable?" She asked rubbing her shoulder feeling again how she felt in the dressing room when she had heard his phone call.

"No" this time he took a shot of the rest of his drink "Waiter can i get another one, on the rocks please" "Yes sir" "And we are ready to order, do you know what you want?" Jake felt bad, that she still had her smile on her face, that she would soon be dessapppointed in him because she expected a perfect person, the same put together person she saw on the outside, but he couldnt offer that person, he wasnt there, and he could not hurt another person, or lose another person- or let another person into his life, there was a reason he was still- in a way single- he couldnt stand dissappointing her, she was so young, he really wished they had never met, maybe if she worked at a diffrent ofice she could meet a nice stable guy and have him in her life, but no, she met him

Annabelle set her glass of water down the crystal making a slight noise as it hit the plate before her. The akwardness was present agan, she couldnt have expected the fairytale to last long. She didnt like the tone in his voice, and the way he looked at her now seemed to be a look of dissapointment. She toook one of the pins out of her hair and let it fall over her shoulders something she knew she always got a reaction from him with. She didnt expect perfection ands he didnt want it she was the most flawed person in the world and she hated the way he didnt seem to realize that, she asked him question after question to try to know him, to not be one of the plastics that oggled him and swooned, she wanted to be a person to him not a play thing.

She did it again, whether unknowing or on purpose, the white lilies, were amazing. One word answere were all he offered until the food arrived. He then took a shot of the forth glass he had ordered and excused himself to go to the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror, he looked the same as usual. He stared at himself real hard. get yourself to gether man, she is there, wasting her time on you- stop being such a douche bag- make her laugh again! Jake splashed some water on his face and went back out. When he got back their food was there waiting. "Sorry, i just...had to put myself back together again. So- you asked me enough questions, how bout you tell me about you. Im not muchof a question asker, so find fun things to tell me about urself"

She watched him leave a bit annoyed, when returning she had hardly moved "hmm fun interesting things?" She looked up as if thinking, "Well, lets see i've been in over twenty tabloids back home, my brother and i have a garden on our balcony." she paused. "I'm not that interesting of a person anymore."

"But you once were, tell me about her- that other person you once were" His words were chosen properly, he coul relate, he knew

She looked up at him. Why should she tell him anything about herself? Why would he care to know her life, "Umm...Im Annabelle Coin my family has had my brother and i live in Paris and Ganeva for a couple months, I've been to twelve bording schools and got kicked out of four of them, My last boyfriend hit me, thats one of the reasons i moved her, my father hates me, my brother and i have been mentioned as one of Canada's hottest incest families for an incident back in Canada." She smiled and sipped her water. "and that's me"

what happened why so vague, there is not point in telling me things that you wont finish telling me- continue

"Why do you care?" she asked. "Do you ask Natalie or Kai about thier lives?" she paused and looked on. "Which did you want to know more about?"

ake felt a bit of anger slicing through his question with hers, "Why do i care-? Thats a good question- i dont know- maybe i dont but if it bother you i wont ask you anything, silence is a talent of mine" he had had about 12 whiskey on the rocks by now and for some reason, his words were slurred, somethin that surprised even him, but he didnt notice, his wolf did

Annabelle looked at him. "Are you bi-polar?" she asked "one minute you look at me and smile the next you seem like you want to slap me, which is it Jacob." She leaned forward keeping her voice down, she didnt want to make a scene and with how much he drank they were bound to

His laugh was throaty, some turned to look, "If you only knew! Wouldnt you be a bit bi polar is you had a monster inside if you! You make me smile- like really smile Annabelle Coin- and i havnt smiled in what seems like ages! I havnt smiled for anyone but my horses and my boat- Do you know what thats like to have a fake smile on all the time, tabloids and magazines seeing someone that isnt you! Wait- you do know- so how can you sit here and tell me that you dont feel it too- this naggins thing inside telling you to just leave it all, all the hard work all the time and energy and all the passion and love, just to drop it and die- " Jakes was getting too loud, he knew it but he couldnt help it, his wolf was getting angry, not at her, but at him for being stupid. The waiter came to check on them "Bring me the bill-" It was sharp, a dangerous tone. He brought it quickly, Jake paid and left a 200$ tip. he stood up from the table-

Annabelle took in what he said it made her sad quite frankly, he finally confirmed what she was thinking. She smiled to the people around who stared at him and took his arm. "Jacob, where do you live. I'll take you home tonight." The car was brought around. She didnt want people to see him this way, drunk, seeminly angry, he didnt need that and she didnt want to be the cause of it, but who was she to cut him off,

He almost growled "I can take care of myself just fine thanks, if its not too hard for you, take me to my car, ill be fine" Jake sat silently as she drove. He was boiling himself in a rage, the heat in the car was crazy

Annabelle said nothing to him she clenched her teet together the whole ride back to julliard "Forgive me for trying to help you." She said as he slammed the door shut walking to his car. as he sped off she waited, debating weather or not she should let him go now, he was intoxicated it wasnt safe for him to be driving or to any pedestrians for that matter. she closed her eyes and breathed out. "why am i fallowing this idiot around" she sighed as she fallowed his car lights at a distance

Jake started the car, fumbled with pressing the button, once the car was on he spoke to her, "Go Home, fast!" The car changed gears and sped off towards his house. Jake slumped over the steering wheel trying to contain himself. Diana took him home in 20minutes, which is faster than he tool himself home. Once she parked herself, jake almost ripped her up trying to get out.
