*~*Beech's POV*~*
I was happy when my brother and cousin told me to get to know Jared more. And that they weren't upset about him staying over again. It was enough to make me want to grin, but I was holding that in. I didn't need to look like a lunatic. I just wanted to get to know Jared and spend more time with him. In truth, I was reluctant to ever let him go. I knew that was selfish of me though, and I would hate to make him think that I was overly possessive. I just wanted to protect him.
Seeing that Jared and I were being given the rest of the day to be alone together to get to know each other, I didn't want to waste any of it. We went back down to my place while Cypress and Rowan stayed with Reagan and the others. We were going to have an entire day together. Was it OK to think of this as a date? I mean, we weren't going out, but we would be doing other things that you did on a date.
