"I don't think that guy is that great of an actor." I said as we walked out of the movie.

"I think they keep casting him because he's nice to look at."

I looked at her and saw she was holding back a small laugh, "Nice to look at huh?"

She shrugged, "Eh, he's not so bad..."

I shook me head and bumped her with my hip, she allowed her laugh to escaper her as we walked on to my car. "You sure you still up for dancing...we can always go another day as well, we've done a lot today."

I thought about how we'd spent almost all afternoon walking around town before going back to her house where she'd been up and down fixing the place to the way she liked it, despite my protests and attempts to get her to slow down or take a break she wouldn't stop until everything was put in it's own spot.

"I'm always up for dancing." She smiled.

Of course I gave in, her smile mixed with her sweet fruity scent gave her this innocent childlike quality about her. "Fine...but promise if you start feeling tired we sit down at least."

She nodded just as we reached my car, "I promise...It's just dancing Vale you act like we're going sky diving."

I rolled my eyes but helped her into the car, "to be honest, skydiving might actually be safer than dancing in your condition."

She laughed, "I'm pregnant not made of glass...such a worrisome Alpha." She sounded, I bent down and pecked her lips, this time I got worried looked after and seeing her accept my kisses made me more optimistic about our future.

I closed her door and moved to let myself into the car before we finally took off.

I had decided to go ahead and take her to a more laid back sort of dance club, the atmosphere was more mature and the music was smoother, slower...but of course as I valeted the car, the music from the neighboring club would begin to spilling out into the streets for everyone to hear...Shelby included.

"Ugh I love that song." She said before she began to walk over to that club instead.

I reached out and grabbed her hand, "I was thinking we'd go to this club over here." I said as I tried to get her to follow me into the more tame club.

She shook her head, "Like you said we can always go another time...but lets just have some fun and let loose a little...might be our last shot to just have a little fun before Joy comes."

On the road my wolf was on edge the whole time.

"I should've had a run before I left Alpha Ash's pack, I'm sure he wouldn't have minded."

'Don't need a run.'

"You're antsy...you need a run." I sighed.

'Nervous not antsy, don't need a run...need Vale.'

I snickered but didn't say anything because I knew she was right, but sadly I knew it was wrong. I didn't want to be that girl, the girl that always pines over another woman's man.

'We miss him.'

"He isn't ours to miss remember, he has a mate."

My wolf whined.

"I get it, I know it sucks but he's just a friend...always has been, and as his friend it's our job to be there for him and help him in any way we can."
