We got off of my bike and are heading towards the snack section. As we got there, Katherine filled up half of the shopping basket with the stuff that wasn't even on the shopping list!

Should I take milk powder?

No you shouldn't I don't think it's healthy for you to eat plain milk powder as a snack; And besides... yeah. I got nothing. Take the milk powder Emma ...

Yes. I had voice in my head. A huge grin spread across my face as I reached out for a packet of milk powder.

"Ouch!! What's wrong with you, you grasshole!!" Pain was what I felt on my foot as I dropped to the floor. Some had just stepped over my foot. My eyes were squeezed shut in pain.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to...wait a minute did you just insult me and didn't at the same time. Respect." What the heck, I was on the floor and all he thought about was the word grasshole!

I opened my eyes to find a pair of electric blue eyes staring into mine. He was wearing a simple blue shirt, which totally brought out his eyes. And some faded black jeans; his hair was a dirty blonde color.

Dang. He should be illegal.

He put out his hand out. I'm guessing for me to hold it and get up (Ahh, he was being a gentleman), but no. I stood up on my own. At first he tilted his head and I could see the confusion on his face, but the next second it was gone.

"Hi, I'm Jake."

"Hi." Was all I said I didn't tell him my name, who knows he could be a serial killer.

"You think I'm a serial killer." Shoot. I said that out loud. But instead of anything, he just broke out in laughter.

I just grabbed on to my basket and was walking away. Then I realized. Where's Kathy? Dammit! I should really pay attention. Huh? I'm a deep thinker.

Suddenly someone grabbed onto my wrist and pulled me, it was like I hit a hard wall; I opened my eyes and saw Jake, he was looking at me with his killer blue eyes. I tried to push him away by hitting his chest, but I couldn't he was too strong. He is probably a total control freak!

Then it hit me, his sent was amazing like vanilla and cinnamon.

I tried to push him away even harder. But I couldn't. I couldn't help it but feel week and venerable.

"Come on twinkle-toes, tell me your name." He said. Even tough I wasn't looking at him; I could feel his eyes on me.

Ha! Did he really think I would tell him my name? As if.

I slowly tilted my head up, to meet his gaze. Suddenly I felt a electrifying current run through my bones from where he was holding my wrist.

Shut up! Emma. You're just lonely and over reacting.

And so, being the awkward and stupid person I am, I quickly kicked him 'there' and as expected he let go and fell to the floor grabbing on to his 'that'. "Sorry! Better luck next time!" I quickly grabbed the shopping basket and ran over to the next couple of aisles until I found Kathy.

Should I tell her? Nah. Maybe later.

We paid for everything and got out, sat on my bike and within minutes, were home.

Damn, hope I never see that control freak again.
