Kim

Jared tried explaining everything the best he could, but honestly, in the end, I was more confused than clear headed.

"I'm sorry if this made you more confused," Jared and I stood outside my door.

"No, I'm still trying to process everything."

He tugged me closer.

My heart began to beat a little faster as his face neared mine. I grasped his jacket, trying to pull him in closer

"Kim, there you are."

I felt my faced heat as I stepped away from Jared.

"Dinner's on the table."

"I'll see you later." Jared had a sour smile on his face as he leapt off the porch.

"Seriously, Aiden? Seriously?" I growled.

He just shrugged, putting on his innocent face.

I plopped down at the dinner table, immediately fixing Charlotte's fork that was poised to collide with the floor at any moment.

Tristan and Reid were too fixated on their food to notice I even sat down.

"You couldn't have given us five more minutes?" I grabbed Charlotte's hand, keeping it from getting into her rice.

"You had all day with that boy, you should've done it then." Aiden smiled.

I felt a slight annoyance with my brother as I snatched a takeout Chinese box.

"I'm eating in my room."

Aiden shooed me away, giving me the go ahead.

Jared

Annoyance ran through every nerve in my body. We had all the time in the world for me to make the first move, but I was too busy trying to explain everything about her new world.

I went straight home and threw myself down on my bed. I didn't want to waste any time I had with her. Unfortunately, family did have a tendency to get in the way occasionally.

I squeezed my eyes shut. I wanted to spend every waking moment with Kim. Whether the world would allow it or not.

I shoved myself off my bed and leapt out the open window.

I phased once my feet hit the ground and took off towards Kim's side of La Push.

The faint sound of ESPN reached my ears. I trotted around back, inhaling Kim's scent that hung around her window.

Her ear buds were plugged into her laptop, blocking out the rest of the world. The faint tune of pop music flowed through them.

I slowly returned to my normal form, tugging on my shorts.

Kim

I stared at the blank word document on my computer. I was supposed to be writing a paper for literature that was due on Monday, but I couldn't wrap my mind around it.

Imprinting. Jared described it as best he could. But the words he used to describe it rattled me slightly.

The person a werewolf imprints on, is the person they'll spend the rest of their life with. She holds you to the planet not gravity. She's in your every waking thought, every dream . . .

The dazed look he gave me, it didn't make me question him. I was surer of the way Jared felt for me then I had before.

I pulled out my ear buds and closed the laptop.

"You might want to close your window. You never know who might show up."

I jumped.

"Twice in one day Jared?"

I leapt up from my bed and ran over to lock my door

"What are you doing here?"

"What does it look like?"

"If Aiden finds out you're here –" I walked over to the window and stared into Jared's eyes.

"Don't talk so loud and he won't."

My heart began to beat a little faster in my chest.

I placed my hands on the window, "Why are you really here?"

Jared met my eyes, keeping quiet.

I tried to swallow the lump in my throat as he leaned in the window. I placed my hands on top of his, trying to keep myself from shaking.

Slowly, as if unsure, he pressed his lips to mine. They were soft, warm like the rest of him.

I felt my heart explode into a million different emotions. Excitement, fear, nervousness.

I slid my hands up his arms, coming to rest on his biceps. Our lips moved quietly together. Mine, slow and unsure. His, strong and warm.

Jared pulled away and grinned, pinching my chin, "I've been waiting so long to do that."

Here you guys go. And it's on time! So, let me know what you guys felt about his chapter because I had a lot of fun writing it!

Much Love,

HS
