We were in the Jeep again on our way back to La Push.

"The guys are really excited to meet you. They love you already, so don't worry." Jared reassured me pulling my hand away from my mouth, causing me to cease biting my nails.

"Alright," I lied. I was nervous as hell. I knew already that Jared considered his friends an extension of his family. Their opinion of me meant a lot.

We pulled into the driveway of a quaint little yellow house. It was beautiful with trails of ivy running up the house's outer walls.

Jared pulled me by the hand and up to the door. When we reached it Jared stopped me and turned my torso to face him as he held my face between his hands.

"Stop worrying! I already told you that they love you already so there isn't any need."

"I'm not worrying." I objected, totally lying. Jared held up my hands as proof. Oops… they were shaking violently. "Maybe…I am just…cold?" What had started out sounding like a slightly strong statement had ended up sounding more like a weak question.

"Kim, please it is almost hot for an evening in Forks, plus you've got me and I am insanely hot." He chuckled at his own joke and I had to crack a smile too. "Don't worry." Then he leaned down and kissed me.

"Okay." I sighed pulling away. I could have sworn I heard a few chuckles mixed with several groans from inside as I uttered my agreement,but the door was thick oak and so I shook the thought from my head. And on that note Jared pulled open the door.

Inside were six people. The five men looked astoundingly like Jared, their body types shockingly similar, very tall and very muscular. I recognized most of them from school but Jared still introduced everyone. Jacob Black, Quil, Paul, Embry Call, Sam, and Emily. I shook all of their hands and noted that all of the guys had a similar warmth to Jared as well.

Jared and I sat on the love seat together and after that conversation seemed to flow easily, even with Paul. We all chatted about whatever; music, movies, and food. Apparently Emily was the best cook ever, and after seeing Jared eat and the size of her other houseguests I was positive she had a lot of time to practice.

After a couple hours it was nearing nine o'clock and I didn't want take advantage of Liza's mother's hospitality by coming home too late seeing as she was already allowing Katie and I to spend two nights at her home. So I said my goodbyes and was invited back for dinner soon. Emily stressed the soon smiling widely.

"It's nice to have a good dose of estrogen around every once in a while. And you're very good for Jared, I can see that clear as a bell! He choose a good imp- girl!" Emily whispered to me after inviting me round. I was still puzzling over what Emily had been about to let slip as Jared led me out to the car but he didn't seem to notice.

As we pulled into the driveway I leaned over to kiss Jared's cheek, but he wasn't having that. He grabbed my chin and turned my face so he could kiss me full on the lips. I wanted to stay like this forever but I reasoned with myself; if I suffocated to death then I would never be able to kiss Jared like this again. Of course this would be the way I'd choose to go…I pulled away from Jared gasping for breath but still managing to grin like a maniac.

"Thank you Jared. I honestly can't fathom how I got so lucky."

"Oh me either Kim! Kim…I…I need to tell you something." Jared started to fidget and I started to get nervous.

"Spill the beans."

"I love you."

"You chickened out." It wasn't a question or an accusation, but rather an observation on my part. I knew there was something else.

"Yeah."

"You aren't ready to tell me."

"No."

"You plan to.

"Yeah."

"I love you.

"Thank you Kim, for getting it. That I need time…to 'spill the beans' and I really do love you."

"Me too. I'll see you Sunday? At the wedding."

"Of course. I wouldn't miss it." With that I slipped out of the jeep and walked out the door ready to spill my guts to my friends whom, unsurprisingly, had been pressing their ears up to the door.

Okay so all the other chapters I am working on are over 1,000 word so this is the last short one, Scouts Honor!

Also I know some of you noticed that there are some mistakes in the chapter, like with spelling an grammar and I do plan on getting around to fixing those mistakes eventually, so please don't hesitate to let me know about any you see.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed, I don't know if you knew but they make me warm and fuzzy inside. ; )
