"Shawn where are you?" Shawn closed up the Psych office carrying Juliet's gift with him while he had his cell phone plastered to his ear listening to Gus berate him for being late.

"Well Gus being that both you and Jules bailed on me I had to do the reveal myself, and then Kenzie gave me the job of getting Juliet's birthday cake."

"Yeah well the cake you already stashed at their apartment like two hours ago yet you still aren't here, and Juliet isn't having any fun."

"Why not?"

"You're not here Shawn." Shawn closed his eyes hating himself right now. He had been on his way to Juliet's party, but he had taken a detour to the Psych office instead. Shawn sighed he had been hiding out there delaying going to the party because he knew he would see Juliet. Their little kissing lesson earlier in the afternoon had gotten to him more then he wanted to admit, and now he was hurting her because of it. It wasn't her fault that he had wanted to do so much more then just that sweet kissing. He had wanted to kiss her much more passionately, and throw her onto his desk and… "Shawn, you still there?" Gus's voice brought him out of his musings. He climbed onto his motorcycle.

"Yes tell her I'm sorry, and I'm on my way. Tell Juliet it took a bit longer to find the perfect gift for her then I expected." he lied finding her a gift had been easy. Actually going to the party, and seeing her after those kisses wasn't as easy as he wished it was.

"Shawn just get here Mack is ready to form a search party for you, and drag your ass here." Gus said quietly and Shawn could hear laughter in the background.

"I'm on my way."

"Good, and Shawn…"

"Yeah buddy?"

"Wait till you see her." Shawn sighed hanging up his cell phone hoping like hell that didn't mean she was dressed to the nines. He put his helmet onto his head, and revved the engine up ,and peeled away from the curb.

Juliet sat staring at the door knowing Shawn would come, but just when. Mack's friends tried to engage with her, but it didn't matter she wouldn't have fun until Shawn arrived. She sipped the beer a little bit her eyes never leaving the wooden door when she felt someone sit down next to her.

"He's on his way." Juliet turned to look at Gus and smiled.

"He is. Where has he been?"

"He was stuck doing the reveal, and getting you your present so he's running a bit late." She had completely forgotten about the case, and she felt terrible about it. But Mack had taken a half day off of work, and took her out shopping for her birthday bash causing her to get caught up in it.

"I feel terrible for forgetting."

"Oh its no big deal Juliet. Shawn likes doing the reveal he gets to talk, and talk while he gets to one up the cops. Its his favorite thing to do." she nodded her eyes drifting back to the door. She heard the knock, and she immediately stood up running to it throwing it open. Her breath caught when she stared up at him who was holding a small present in his hand. He wasn't wearing his sunglasses, and she got full view of his beautiful hazel eyes. His mouth stayed open as his eyes flickered down her body. She felt incredibly beautiful under his gaze. The red dress definitely clung to her body making her feel womanly.

"Damn Jules you look amazing."

"Thank you." she sighed. He blinked and then handed her the gift she took it gratefully.

"Happy birthday." she linked her arm around his pulling him inside, and shoving the door shut behind her without looking away from him. She stared up at him unable to break the odd eye contact they were currently in now. It felt like everyone else had disappeared, and he was the only one there with her. But they were rudely awakened.

"FINALLY!" they both jumped as they looked forward, and Mack stood there glaring at Shawn. "I have you do one thing, and you then show up late for the party."

"Its only seven thirty I'm fashionably late."

"Yeah yeah whatever as long as you are here Juliet will now get to have some fun." Mack snapped grabbing his other arm, and tugged them both further into the apartment. Juliet sat down beside him on the couch her hand on his thigh while her other still clutched his present to her. Shawn's eyes lowered to where her hand rested, and she felt her cheeks burn hot as she removed her hand. Her heart hammered as she didn't care about the party as she began tearing into his present. She wanted to know what he got her.

"I guess its present time!" Shawn laughed watching her. Juliet felt her insides wobble as she open the velvet box. She gasped when she came face to face with a beautiful necklace with a small heart shaped pendant. Her eyes lifted up to him, and he was fidgeting. "Jules its just simple I know its…" but she didn't care about anything else he said she gathered her courage, and leaned forward kissing him. Juliet could hear hollering going on everywhere, and whistling but she didn't care. All she cared about was Shawn and his amazing lips. He, however, didn't share the same feeling as he pushed out the kiss abruptly standing up. "So I take it you like it?"

"Like it I love it Shawn. Put it on me now." she said pulling it out of the box.

"Bossy bossy." he chuckled sitting down beside her again, and she lifted her long curled hair up so he could put the necklace on. "Just don't tell Gus I used his credit card to buy this." he said in her ear, and she felt her entire body react to him. She never felt this way before and it was amazing. She eyed Mack who was grinning oddly at them, and she felt his big hands at the back of her neck, and a shiver raced down her spine. When it was put on she eyed it feeling tears well up. No one ever gotten her jewelry before. She turned and went to kiss him again but he stood up once more. "I've got to go get something to drink Jules." she pouted when she watched him escape into the back of the apartment. She went to get up to follow him, but Mack sat down beside her placing another present into her lap.

"Give him time Juliet he's running scared right now." Mack said quietly as she leaned towards her.

"Why?"

"Because he's obviously realizing that his gift was something much more personal then he wanted to get you, and it scares him." she said as she gently nudged the gift in her lap. Juliet opened it, and smiled when someone had gotten her a beautiful blouse. Present after present were all nice, but nothing that meant anything to her as much as what Shawn had gotten her. As the night continued she realized Shawn was avoiding her. Every time they were talking he always had Gus or someone else around with them, and she was getting annoyed with it. She wanted to talk to him alone, but it seemed he wasn't willing to let that happen. She had drank two beers, and it was more then enough. Beer was alright but not her favorite thing to drink in fact it got more gross the more she had of it. Plus she felt a bit weird after the second one where she was giggling at everything for no reason, and she didn't care for the feeling. Juliet's eyes followed Shawn's movement with his plate. He was eating a piece of her birthday cake talking with Gus, and some odd man that worked with them at the station. Mack had introduced him to her his name was Woody. But her gaze followed Shawn's fork as it went from his plate to disappear into his mouth, and her stare got caught on his lips.

"See something you like?" she blinked, and jumped at not having realized someone had sat down beside her on the couch. She had taken some time to be alone while everyone else had been in conversations. She had been more then happy sitting, and watching Shawn. She looked over at Mack who sitting beside her once more. She sighed looking back at Shawn who now laughing at something either Gus or Woody had said, and nodded her head wistfully. "I bet you wouldn't mind a big red bow around his neck hmmmmm?" Juliet chuckled looking back to Mack who was sipping her own beer.

"Mack I think I'm ready." she whispered.

"For what?" Mack asked yawning as it was passed midnight now.

"For sex." she said as her cheeks burned when Mack choked, and coughed as she sputtered beside her earning glances from what was left of the party goers.

"Well what made this about face. This morning you weren't, and now all of a sudden you are?"

"I don't know something changed today." she sighed her eyes drifting back to him.

"You said you think you're ready then that means sweetie that you aren't. You need to be a hundred percent sure you are ready. You don't want to rush into anything that will make you uncomfortable, and something you'd regret."

"I could never regret having sex with Shawn."

"That's not what I meant. I mean you'd regret it because you weren't ready for it."

"Oh." she looked down feeling so confused.

"Juliet you'll know when you are ready, but in the meantime I promise you we will go over every book, and every magazine in our arsenal to get you ready for that time when it comes."

"How do you know I will know when I'm ready?"

"Just trust me you'll know when you are completely sure you are ready."
