Chapter 12
Kim's point of view
My opinion of La Bella Italia was that the food was good but the service stunk! That waitress better sleep with one eye open. Jared ate all his pizza but offered me some, I only took one because I knew he was hungry.
"Wow the water stain is gone already," Jared says amazed as we walk out of La Bella Italia. I look down and see that it is gone.
"Um ya, I guess I'm lucky," I say. It's really because my high body temperature.
"I'm really sorry that our dates are terrible," he says.
"Jared it's fine, and it's not terrible because I'm with you," I say and he smiles.
"You really are amazing Kim," he says.
"Everyone realizes that sooner or later," I say and he chuckles.
"And funny," he says. He opens the truck door for me and I thank him. He gets in the driver's seat and starts up the car. It's seven forty-five and already dark.
"So do you think it's going to start snowing soon?" he asks.
"Maybe, it's been really cold lately," I say and he nods.
"It has been cold, why didn't you bring a jacket?" he asks.
"I'm fine Jared, trust me," I say.
"I don't want you to catch a cold," he says.
"I won't," I say.
"You're stubborn," he says.
"Part of my charm," I say and he shakes his head smiling.
He drives until we get to my house. He helps me out of the truck and I look to him, he looks nervous.
"Um I was wondering if you'd like to come over to Emily's house to meet some of my friends, besides Paul," he says.
"Emily Young?" I ask.
"That's the one," he says.
"I'd love to!" I say and he smiles.
"Really?" he asks.
"Ya, I would love to meet your friends," I say. I really do want to meet everyone. I mean I work with the guys everyday but don't know them and they sound like good guys. This will give me the chance to finally meet them, face to face.
"Great, I'll pick you up tomorrow a little before noon," he says and I nod. I smile up at him and he smiles down. He leans in and is about to touch my lips when...
"KIM!" a voice yells. We jump apart and see Josh standing at the front door looking at us. I blush and Jared growls lowly.
"Um I better get going, thanks for the date," I say.
"Ya, see ya tomorrow," he says. I look up to him and kiss his cheek quickly. He smiles at me and then I head to the front door. I glare at my brother and he just smiles innocently. We go inside and I hear Jared leave. I groan and turn to face my brother.
"You better have a good explanation to why you called me," I say.
"I was just making sure you were alright," he says.
"Jerk," I say and head up to my room. I hear him chuckle and then go watch TV.
I enter my room and sigh, so close! I've been wanting to taste Jared's lips again since the minute my lips left his Saturday night. We were so close and then Josh had to interrupt! I'm gonna kill him later. I flop onto my bed and kick my heels off. The date was nice except for the waitress flirting with my soul mate! She had some nerve to be messing with a wolf's imprint. I hear noise and then next thing I know Jared's in my room. Shocked I get up and look at him.
"What are you doing here!" I ask in a whisper as I quickly shut my door.
"I needed to do something," he says. I turn back to him and raise an eyebrow.
"What?" I ask. He comes toward me and his lips meet mine, finally! I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him close. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me into his warm body. I moan and he growls pulling me as close as possible. All to soon he pulls away so we can breathe.
"I've been wanting to do that since Saturday night when my lips left yours," he says and I smile.
"That's exactly how I felt," I say and he grins.
"Kim will you be my girlfriend?" he asks and I light up like a kid on Christmas.
"Of course!" I say and kiss him again.
We stay like that until I hear my phone ring. I groan and pull away. He growls and I smile at him. I look at my phone and see that it's Carlie. I roll my eyes and turn my phone off.
"Who was it?" he asks.
"Just Carlie, she's going to ask me all sorts of questions about our date," I say.
"Shouldn't you pick up?" he asks.
"She'll understand when I tell her I was busy," I say smirking.
"And why were you busy?" he asks.
"Because I was kissing you," I say and we kiss again. I'll never get rid of this! I somehow end up against the wall but don't notice because I'm pretty busy being distracted by Jared's yummy lips.
"Kim!" a voice yells and I hear footsteps come close. I pull back and look to Jared nervous.
"Hide in here," I say and push him into my closet. When I turn around Katherine opens my door.
"Oh hi sis," I say calmly.
"I want to hear all about it!" she says sitting on my bed.
"Hear about what" I ask afraid she heard Jared and I kissing.
"The date silly," she says and I sigh. Of course she meant the date.
"Oh um it was great," I say.
"What happened, where'd you go?" she asks.
"He took my to La Bella Italia and we just ate then came back here," I say.
"Come on I need details!" she says and I roll my eyes.
"You sound like Carlie," I say.
"You can't blame me," she says.
"The waitress was horrible," I say.
"What'd she do?" she asks.
"She flirted with him the whole time, ignored me, and spilled my drink on me!" I say and she gasps.
"That's awful!" she says.
"Ya but it's over now," I say shrugging my shoulders.
"Anything else happen, any kissing?" she asks and I blush.
"No, thanks to your husband," I say.
"What?" she asks.
"We were so close and then he called me," I say.
"I need to go talk with him," she says.
"You should before he goes to bed," I say trying to get her out of here.
"Is that all that happened?" she asks.
"I'm going to meet his friends tomorrow," I say and she smiles.
"That's wonderful, lets pick out the outfit!" she says and goes to my closet.
"NO!" I cry and she looks to me.
"Um I mean not now I'm really tired from work," I say.
"Oh okay well in the morning then," she says and I nod.
"Have a good rest Kimmy," she says and leaves. I sigh and lock the door after her.
"That was close," Jared says coming out of the closet.
"Too close," I say.
"I guess I should go," he says and I frown.
"Don't worry I'll be here tomorrow," he says coming over to me.
"But I have to wait hours until I get to see you again," I complain and he chuckles.
"I'm sure you can handle it," he says.
"Goodnight Kim," he says.
"Night Jared," I say and he kisses me lightly.
"Sweet dreams," he says and jumps out of the window. I watch him jog into the forest and sigh in peace. I Kim Connweller am finally Jared Cameron's girlfriend!
