Jared smiled lovingly at the girl in front of him. She was the love of his life. Is the love of his life. He chuckled at the indecisive look that flittered across her face while looking at magazine filled with dresses. "Can't decide?"

Kim growled and flipped the page. "No I can't."

Jared chuckled from his position in the rolling chair across the room. He twisted back and forth staring at the pristine white walls that inclosed her room. He couldn't stop the smile that covered his lips. He was happy. Happy for two reasons.

One. Her parents trusted him enough to allow him to be alone with her in the room with the door shut. Jared felt honored that they put that much trust in him. Not that he would ever hurt her. He'd hurt himself first. But that was beside the point.

Two. She was adorable when she got all angry and tried to growl. No really it was adorable. Being a wolf . . . Jared knew what a real growl sounded like. Hell he had a real growl. But her's was just so cute. She was like a little chipmunk - nothing about her was actually dangerous.

"What is it Elly?" He cooed softly using her favorite nickname. It wasn't that she had admitted it to being her favorite. It was just easy to tell. Her heart did this little thing. Jared's favorite little thing. Her heart would stutter before slowing down into a relaxed beat. He loved it.

It wasn't creepy that he knew the patterns of her heart depending on what he did or said . . . Right?

Jared shook his head and gave his complete attention back to Kim - not that there were times when Jared's mind didn't revolve around Kim, just mere seconds.

Kim huffed and flipped to another page. "I don't like anything."

Jared shrugged. "Wear one of my tee-shirts and a pair of jeans."

Kim's head jerked up to glare at her boyfriend. "What!" She shrieked in disbelief.

Jared did his best to fight the smile forming on his lips. He loved when she got riled up. It was a side only he got to see. It made him feel special, while she made him feel over the moon.

God, he was a love sick puppy.

Huh . . . Puppy? Guys were going to get a kick out of that one at patrol.

"So why do you have to dress up again?" Jared asked, brows furrowed while staring at her unhappy profile. He stood from the chair and moved to kneel in front of the foot of her bed where she was laying. He smile as her and reached forward with his right hand. His placed his burning finger tips to her furrowed brow. Jared winked while pressing against the skin and smoothing out the wrinkles. "Smile for your wolf?"

The edges of Kim's lips curled upward. Her lips widened and a flash of white separated her tanned lips. "Always."

"Always, always?" Jared questioned cutely.

Kim nodded sweetly.

Jared leaned forward on his haunches and pressed a chaste kiss to her lips. "I love you."

Kim giggled cutely, before murmuring against his lips. "Always?"

He smiled widely while pressing a kiss to her lips. "Always, always."

. . .

Kim groaned as she stared at the dress store in front of her. So many dresses so little time. She was at a complete loss. She didn't know what to choose or where to start.

Jared.

Kim groaned she should have just taken up up on his offer to come with her. He always knows what looks amazing oner - even though there are times she thinks he's a little biased. She could also use that extra boost - Kim hated shopping.

Her heart stings tugged as more images of her beloved wolf filtered into her mind.

With a wry smile, Kim pulled her phoen from her pocket and pressed the one button.

"Hello?"

Kim smiled sweetly. "Hey."

The smile was evident in his voice as he answered, "Elly?"

Kim giggled softly."Yep."

"What'cha need sweetheart?" Jared asked softly.

"Where are you?" Kim questioned, doing her best to keep the curiosity on low-key.

Jared chuckled softly. "In the car. Why?"

Kim bit her lower lip. "I . . . I just wanted to talk to you." She couldn't make him break the plans she had made him make so he wouldn't be alone while she went to Port Angelos for a family dinner.

"Sweetheart?" His brows furrowed, she was lying. "I know you better than that." He grinned easily. "I love hearing your voice too, but you should know lying doesn't work on me."

Kim smiled despite herself. Yeah, she should have known that. "I'm freaking."

"What's wrong, Sweetheart?"

Her smile wided. Sweetheart, she absolutely melted everytime he called her that. And as she learned - from being around him so much - she was the only one he referred to as sweetheart, which made her melt even more. "I can't find a dress. The dinner is in three hours. I haven't done my make up, I don't have a pair of shoes to wear cause I have no dress." She blurted out in one big whoosh.

Jared chuckled. "Give me an hour and a half."

Kim's eyes widened. "No! I can't ask you to do that!" She exclaimed.

Jared smiled. "Sweetheart, You don't have to. I'll come anyway."

She melted. "But, you're plans? You were going to go on a run with the guys." Kim licked her lower lip and sifted through another rack of slinky dresses. Nothing was working.

He started to hum softly.

Kim heaved an audible sigh. It was the song. The song Nicole had shown her. "You sure?"

"Always." Jared grinned. He couldn't help it. She always made him happy. And no, this far into a relationship, it wasn't the imprint aspect of it. It was Kim. She made him happy. "I've told you many times. You can always crash my party." He had

Kim giggled softly across the line. "Cheesemeister."

"Always Sweetheart, Always." Jared grinned as he pulled onto the interstate heading towards Port Angeles.

Kim beamed brightly as her heart stuttered. Her blood thrummed through her veins as her body began to buzz. Kim stood from the seat she was sitting in and exited the store she had been perusing through.

Jared was her.

Her body zinged.

He was getting closer.

Kim squealed softly as he came into view. She moved quicker. Her speed picked up as Kim got ready to throw herself into his waiting arms. His arms were always open and waiting for her - a fact she loved.

Jared play grunted as he secured his arms around her waist and picked her up. A dazzling smile covered his lips and she hung on tightly while he spun her around.

Kim giggled and tightened her grip around his neck. "Thank you," she whispered against his ear.

Jared pecked her on the cheek. "Come on Sweetheart. Let's go shopping."

"I love you." Kim sighed in affection and squeezed his hand. "Where do you want to start?"

Jared chuckled and looked at the names on the billboards above each store. "Let's start here."

Kim nodded and allowed him to pull her through each store as they searched for the perfect dress for her.

Jared came to a stop in the third store. "That one." His hand tightened around her's as he dragged her through the store and towards the back.

"That one?" She questioned with wide eyes. "Jared! It's perfect!" The smile that split her lips was all the joy he needed to last him the rest of his life.

The dress was asymmetric dress with a round neck. The front reached her knees while the back trail down to rest around the backs of her ankles. It was sleeveless with two inch straps over each shoulder. The material was a silky, shimmery navy blue. A thin mocha brown belt rested around the waist.

"It will bring out the lovely hue of your skin." Jared squeezed her shoulders before leaning down to drop a kiss on her shoulder. He flipped through the hangers before picking up the one in her size. "Shoes?"

Kim nodded while squeezing his fingers. "I love you."

Jared brought her hand up to his lips and placed a chaste kiss on the smooth skin. He draped the dress over their linked arms and moved towards the shoes. After picking up a matching pair of heels, Jared pulled Kim towards the check out.

Kim beamed brightly as Jared wrapped his arms around her while pulling her to lean against him. She fell against his chest easily. "Thank you for today."

Jared tightened his grip around her waist and placed his lips to her forehead. "Always Sweetheart, Always."

Kim giggled while taking the shopping bag from his hand. "I love you."

"Always." Jared beamed brightly. "I believe the song goes . . . You Can Crash My Party Any Time."
