Hello hello all you beautiful people! Sorry I haven't updated for so long. I got stuck. Read at the end of the chapter for details on my mental issues! Anyway, hope you like the next chapter. As always, I don't own.

Seth POV

"So, where do we go from here?" I asked.

Here I was, sitting across from the woman I loved with all my heart. My imprint. The only woman I would ever feel this way about. Now what? It was like being trapped under a rock. Now that I was free, I didn't know which direction to run in, so I just stood by the rock like an idiot.

"I was thinking about that too." Kira replied with a smile on her face. "I think we should continue acting like we always did around each other and let our mutual attraction just progress our relationship naturally."

I thought about it for a minute. I kinda liked the sound of Kira's suggestion. I certainly didn't want to rush things with her and I had never spent any time with her, in person, since we had become such good friends. I wanted to get to know her more as my friend before things went further. After all, we had all the time in the world.

"I like that idea. We can just be ourselves and let the friendlier than just friends stuff happen as it happens."

Kira smiled a huge smile at me. She was practically beaming. "I was hoping you'd say that. This is all very new to me. I may be..." She looked around to see who was within eavesdropping range. "...extremely older than you, but I've never been very close to anyone in this way. It's hard to get serious with someone when they have no idea what I really am."

"I know the feeling." I agreed. The imprinting made our lives so much easier. Mine in particular. I didn't have to explain anything to Kira. She already knew me and my pack. She'd saved Jake's life and was willing to die at our sides on more than one occasion. She was the perfect mate for me.

That got me thinking. Mate...mating...sex. Crap!

There were only a few things I knew for sure going into this relationship. One, that eventually our relationship would progress to the point where we would become sexually active. Two, that even though Kira had little knowledge of serious long term relationships, she no doubt knew a few things about sex and was most definitely not a virgin. And Three, that I was absolutely, without a doubt, still a virgin.

At college I dated a few girls and they were nice enough, but I never really felt the need to get close to them. Certainly not close enough to sleep with them. There was always this little voice in the back of my head that told me not to. I guess it was telling me that I had already met my imprint and to not go messing it up with other women. It's funny how that worked out, but now I'm left with the reality that I will be far less experienced in this area than Kira.

Kira kicked me softly under the table, knocking me out of my thoughts.

"You OK? You just got very worried all of the sudden."

Damn. I'm gonna have to learn to control my emotions more, now that I'm dating an empath.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just trying to get a grasp on this." I don't think she bought my lie, but she didn't have time to ask more, since our food arrived. I removed the previous musings from my mind. When the time comes, I'd worry about it then.

Just like my first dinner, my second dinner was delicious. I didn't know if all the food around here was always this good or if it was just because we were friends of Kira. Either way, Kira and I were both so engrossed in our meal that we didn't talk much. A few comments here and there, but nothing heavy like before the food arrived.

After we finished eating, however, the heavy conversation started all over again. This time it was much more relaxed and comfortable. Kira switched sides and was now sitting next to me in the booth. We had our feet up on the other seat and we were holding hands. Kira's hand explored mine with a slight tickling motion.

"So, one more year and you'll have your bachelors degree." She stated.

"Yep!" I replied proudly.

"Gonna go for your masters?"

I thought about it for a minute, then sighed. "I don't think so. At least not yet. I'm kinda burned out on school. I don't hate it, ya know, but I just need a break. I'll probably go out and get a job instead. Get some hands on experience." I squeezed her hand and looked at her. "Whatever I decide, I'll have to talk to you about it too. If this works out, it's gonna be you and I from now on."

Kira stopped massaging my hand and looked to be deep in thought. I really hoped I didn't upset her. She went quiet for several minutes. I tired to wait, but I desperately wanted to know what she was thinking.

"You OK? Did I upset you? I'm sorry if I did. I was just thinking out loud."

Kira looked up at me with a smile. "You didn't upset me. I was just thinking. I have been trying to decide what to do after I leave here. I think you've helped me figure it out. You see, I can't stay in Vegas much longer. I was in my early 20's when I started here. That was over 10 years ago."

I nodded my head in understanding. "And you don't look like a woman over 30."

"Exactly. I've been debating for the last few months what to do with my next life. I was thinking I might move back in with my family. I long to get to know Jake, Bella and Nessie better. But...a different option kept banging around in my head for some reason and it's not until now that I figured out why. I was thinking I might move into the family house in Forks, so I can be closer to my newly adopted family. I have been missing all of you guys. I was stuck as to what to do, but now we'll have to figure out what we should do together. It actually eases my mind."

I was astonished. She wanted to move to Forks to be closer to the Pack? I hadn't realized she had gotten so close with anyone other than me. "You've actually tossed around the idea of moving to Forks?"

"Yeah, it just popped into me head one day and something just kept pulling me in that direction. I think we might have had a connection all along that neither of us knew existed. At least until today." Kira snuggled closer to my side and I wrapped my arm around her shoulders. "But there will be time to work all those things out later. For right now, I've got an idea." She got up and pulled me along with her. "Do you remember what we agreed to do when we saw each other again?"

I smiled down at Kira. I remembered that conversation distinctly. "If I remember correctly, it involved staying up all night watching as many Simpson's episodes as we can and eating lots of junk food."

"I know you're on vacation and I can take you around Vegas if you'd like, but..."

I interrupted Kira. I was betting I had a ridiculous grin on my face. "I'd rather spend time alone with you than go anywhere in the world."

Kira continued to pull me out of the restaurant. Tonight was shaping up to be one of the best of my life.

To Be Continued

Hello all you fabulous fanfiction readers! I need your help.

Should I continue the story at it's slower pace and describe Seth and Kira's relationship more, or should I just summerize it and jump to more of the action?

I could go either way, but I just can't decide. I figured I'd get some feedback from you guys before I continue. Let me know what you'd like to read next, more chapters centered around Seth and Kira's budding relationship or just a summary of their relationship and a jump to more exciting stuff.

Please help me out, people. You've been so supportive so far. I fear the only way I can continue with this story is with help getting past my mental roadblock.

Thanks again for reading and for your help!
