There was an obvious bit of shock on Jamie's face as he regarded her, as her words began to sink in to him. It still didn't make sense. She still didn't know him enough to like him. She might like how he looked or the idea of him, but she wouldn't if she really knew him. He was sure of that. He just.. wasn't a likable sort.

His brow did raise when she almost divulged more information than she wanted to about whoever it was she might have run off with before prior. He couldn't really dwell on it though. It was enough of a mess as it was and he didn't need more aggravating him.

But, of course, she proceeded to aggravate him and even poked him in the chest. He was quick to capture her hand in his own when she went in for another jab. He all but growled at her as he yanked her forward, his other hand going to her waist to hold her against him in the process. "Don't. Poke. Me," he growled again before he captured her lips with his own.
