Jared's point of view: chapter 3

I woke up confused. I didn't recognize the room I was in, it wasn't my bedroom. Someone stirred in my arms. That's when everything made since. I imprinted yesterday on Kim. I had come over here to apologize and make sure she was alright. I guess we fell asleep last night. Hopefully that doesn't set me back.

Sam said overtime she would eventually love me. And no matter if she chose me as a friend I would be in her life. But I didn't want her to eventually fall in love with me only because of the imprint. I hoped she would fall in love with me though. She was my world now and I wasn't going to let her go. The thought of her being with another guy made me sick. I was already starting to fall in love with her.

I just didn't know when or how to tell her about the werewolf thing. It was just me and Sam for now but Paul and Quil would phase soon then Jake and a few others. Jake would be our new alpha and that made Sam extremely anxious. Fuck how was I supposed to explain the imprinting?

I haven't noticed her in years and I feel like the biggest dick in the world. How could I not notice her? Kim is gorgeous and cute and sweet and smart, and adorable.

She shivered in my arms and I instantly held her closer to me. She molded her body against mine and wrapped her leg around my waist. I smiled because subconsciously she wanted to be closer to me even if it was because I was warm. I closed my eyes holding her against me.

When I looked at her again she was awake. She stirred a little but let me hold her.

"Good morning." I said before yawning.

"Morning. We just slept right?" She asked carefully.
"Kim if we had done anything you would be sore." I smirked.

"Cocky much?" She smirked back. I barked out a laugh.

"Kim not to freak you out but where is the rest of your family?" I asked concerned. Her dad was on the council so he knew about the pack. And he kind of scares me and it looks like I had sex with her.

"Parents had fancy dinner and stayed in a hotel in Seattle and siblings at aunts and friends house till my parents get home. No worries." She said sitting up and away from me.

"Would you like to hang out with me today?" I asked. She looked at me surprised.
"So this isn't a joke? You really like me?" She asked worriedly.

"I really like you Kim. This isn't a joke to me." I whispered sincerely. She saw the truth in my eyes.

"Then yes I would like to hang out with you today." She smiled making me grin. I got up and made blueberry pancakes for us as she got red. She came back down in tight dark jeans and a tight red sweater. I growled but covered it up with a cough.

"Thanks for making breakfast, it's amazing." She said as we finished our food. I felt bad because I hate twelve pancakes and she only had three. I nodded and left her house to get ready. I came back in a black hoodie and dark jeans. I took her hand in mine and led her to the beach. I went to the cliff where us guys usually cliff dived but it was a lower secluded one.

"Jared I don't like heights." She said stopping as I tried to pull her to the edge.

"I won't let you fall. I promise." I said as I gave her my most charming smile. She smiled but still hesitated. I slowly led her to the edge and sat her down next to me. I wrapped my arms around her and she put her head against my chest. We talked for hours.

"It feels like I have known you for a long time." I spoke softly.

"Well we have gone to the same school since third grade." She laughed making my heart drop. Over seven years I have ignored her and passed by her.

"That's not what I meant, I meant like we have a connection or something. And I'm sorry I never realized how amazing you are all this time." I apologized.

"It's okay. Easy to miss." She whispered.

"You're not easy to miss. You are so adorable and stunning. You are special." I said kissing her hair. She melted into me.

"So have you liked me this whole time?" I laughed. She blushed brightly.

"Shut up. I'm pretty sure everyone knew but you." She huffed. I kept barking out laughs.

"Yeah but I know now. Do you want to know a secret?" I laughed.

"What?" She questioned.

"Your my crush." I said softly. Her eyes connected with mine and it felt like it was just us in the world. I slowly moved my head towards hers.

I pressed my lips gently against hers. Her lips kissed mine back. I pulled her body closer to mine. This was the best kiss I had ever had. I deepened the kiss and pressed my tongue gently against her lips asking for permission. She granted me permission and opened her mouth letting our tongues dance together. She tasted like strawberries and vanilla.

I put her leg on the other side of me so she was straddling me over the cliff. I laughed on the inside because she was so caught up in the kiss and didn't realize she was basically hanging off the cliff. I had her though in a strong hold. We continued to kiss passionately. We had to pull away because we ran out of air. I felt so incredibly happy.

She smiled brightly then realized she was hanging off the cliff. She started to panicking. I tightened my grip on her but was still gentle.

"I have you. It's okay just trust me." I said as I kissed her lightly. She instantly relaxed and stopped panicking.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I asked pinning a loose strand of hair behind her hair. She nodded her head smiling a gorgeous smile.

I kissed her softly holding her arching body over the cliff as the sun set.
