125–Bashful and blameless

COCK TALES

Amber has been added to the group.

Ryann- Hi Amber. In case you don’t know, this group chat is dedicated to documenting the tales of myfriend Harry flirting with this cute bartender chick who is apparently completely uninterested in him. Thisis particularly entertaining as he is an Incubus and doesn’t usually have to work so hard for a girl’sattention.

Harry- Hi Ryann’s friend. I want it noted that I am in fact incredibly handsome and ridiculouslycharming. It’s this girl that’s the strange one.

Amber- Noted. To avoid confusion, I am an Oracle and sometimes know extra things about the peoplearound me. Don’t ask if I know things, if I tell you anything it’s because I’ve chosen to and no amount ofwhining will change my mind. <3

Harry- No spoilers, no problem. Now back to the current issue. Do I drink the spelled drink this womanhas given me?

Amber- I can guarantee it won’t kill you. So I vote yes. And document what happens. Photos andvideos are appreciated… unless it’s dirty. Then keep it to yourself!

Ryann- Well, I guess I’ll vote yes too. It can’t be worse than the intentionally gross drinks she wasmaking you before right?

Harry- True. Well in that case, bottoms up!

Ryann-

Well?

Amber- OMG

Harry–

Amber- This is hilarious! I love this chick!

125- Bashful and blameless

Ryann- I know right? Harry won’t let us meet her though -_-

Ryann- What did she give him???

Harry- A silencing spell. I can’t talk.

Ryann- LOL That is funny. I guess she was sick of your lines.

Harry- I wasn’t even flirting… much.

Amber- It won’t last too long. When it wears off tell the bartender chick I owe her a high five

when we meet.

Harry- Will do. Since I can’t talk I need to free up my hands… for communication purposes.

I’ll ttyl ladies. Night!

Ryann- Night Harry

Amber- Night dude. Ryann, a reminder. You forgot to tell Bellamy something earlier. My apologies forknowing that….

Ryann-

…. It’s all good. Thanks for the reminder.

Ryann- And night Megan, for later when you finish your studying and catch up on your

messages <3

With a groan I drop my phone and lay my head back on Bellamy’s shoulder. In my anger with Bellamyearlier, I had forgotten how embarrassed I was. Note to self. Avoid intimate situations. when discussingthings that are important to Amber. I know she doesn’t intentionally see things and has no control overher visions and I know she would ignore it if she saw something really personal. Still… I know Bellamyand I were just k*ssing… but I am apparently not keen on the idea of PDA. I think I’m just going to haveto accept that Amber might know things I’m not super keen on sharing and trust that she will do herbest to respect my privacy.

Bellamy notices me dropping my phone and he leans down to k*ss the top of my head.

“Everything okay?” He asks as he tightens the arm he has around me a little. I can’t help but sigh as Isnuggle into his side even more. I turn to hide my face against his shoulder.

“Yes.” my answer is muffled against him.

“I was just reminded about what an awkward person I am. I remembered that I forgot to tell you why Ifreaked out earlier, well… freaked out before you said stupid things at least.” I correct. Bellamy pullsback a little to examine my face. I think he’s trying to work out if I’m still angry. I give a reassuring smileand he relaxes a bit.

“In that case, let me re–wind and do what I should have done earlier when I realised that you werefeeling uncomfortable. Ryann sweetheart, what’s bothering you?” he asks gently and I can’t help butsnort out a laugh.

“Smooth, a little late though. Okay, so you know how Amber is an Oracle?” I start. Bellamy

nods.

“Yeah, that was the whole reason you invited her over.” He agrees.

“What about it?” he questions.

“Well…she tends to have visions about things related to her but she only knows the things I see withmy magic if I say it or write it down or something. Basically she sees things like a movie, she can’t readminds. She knows about her red thread to Shaun which means she saw me telling someone and you’rethe only person I intend to actually tell since it would be sort of rude to go around sharing their personalstuff, particularly since Shaun doesn’t know yet. But I wanted to tell you.” Why am I feeling shy? Thismakes no sense. Ugh. Bellamy however looks delighted.

“I’m glad you want to tell me.” He grins, then it fades and confusion follows.

“I’m still not quite sure what this has to do with your fre- discomfort earlier.” He admits. I roll my eyes athis self correction.

“Amber knows about her thread, which means she had a vision of my telling you. Which means shehad a vision of us… and I suddenly felt like we were being watched and got embarrassed. I have noidea how much she actually sees. It would seem that I am not

particularly comfortable with PDA.” I joke. Bellamy lets out a huge breath and shakes his head. He runshis free hand through his hair.

“Okay, now I feel like even more of a jerk than I did before. I can definitely see how that would makeyou uncomfortable.” He admits.

“Don’t feel bad. You didn’t know. You waited until Shaun left, you had no way of knowing that we stillhad an audience.” I lean back into his side and try to relax. Bellamy sighs and wraps his arms aroundme again.

“I know. I still feel bad though. I don’t really care if people see us together, although I admit that takingthat situation any further would have been awkward when I have to eventually see your friend.” Heconsiders a moment.

“I think I might enjoy it a little too much if Shaun were to see us k*ssing though. Just to make ourrelationship clear.” he comments and I slap his chest lightly.

“Don’t act like a caveman. We’ve already been over this.” I lecture. Bellamy laughs.

“I know, I know.” He smooths a hand over my hair soothingly.

“Just please don’t get mad again.” He pleads and it’s my turn to laugh.

“I won’t as long as you’re being honest and mostly reasonable.” I promise. I try to ignore the little twingeof guilt in my chest. I know he agreed to it, but keeping our relationship private clearly isn’t great forBellamy’s over protective, jealous side. It’s definitely making him feel insecure. It’s strange, he doesn’tseem like the kind of person who would be insecure. He has his whole confident alpha thing going on.But when it comes to me he worries about every little thing. I know it’s because he cares, but that justmakes me feel worse. I know exactly what I should do to help him feel secure, but I just can’t bringmyself to tell everyone and face all the Shifters. I replace myself stroking my fingers over his red stringbracelet. Bellamy seems to be reading my mind.

“It’s really okay. I promise. I know I’ve been a little on edge, and these psychos threatening you hasn’thelped that. None of this has gone quite how I would have planned it. But even so, we’re doing alright.If we can deal with all this, then things will only get better when everything gets settled.” Finally his selfassured tone is back and I’m relieved. Still, I need to

say something.

“I promised this whole keeping on the down low thing

uldn’t be forever and I do intend to

keep that promise. I’m working on it. I really am.” I tell him, my voice fading out a little

towards the end.

“I know you are. I’ve seen it and you’ve been doing so well at adjusting to a lot of changes in a reallyshort amount of time. This whole situation has been a lot harder on you than it has been on me. I’vedragged you out of your home; away from your work and away from pretty much every familiar thing. Idefinitely do not want to push you into anything else before. you’re ready. Besides, the bright side of

this being a sort of secret is that at least we know us being together probably isn’t the reason thatsomeone is after you.” he concludes.

“Wait, but I thought you were insisting before that this was all because of you? It’s not by the way, butwhy the change of heart?” I question.

oh I’m 5 pretty sure that all of this is because of our relationship, but not because anyone knows aboutit. I’ve dragged you into something and somehow that’s offended someone. I don’t know how exactly,but all the trouble you’ve had lately is definitely my responsibility.” I roll my eyes.

“You say that like I didn’t agree to anything or make any of my own choices. I could have

ignored you or walked away. I’m just as responsible for my actions as you are for

yours. Thank you very much! Besides, I’ve already decided to blame whoever the psychos are. This istotally one hundred percent not on us.” I declare loudly, ending the debate. Bellamy gives in with alaugh and I ask him to read to me some more. I fall asleep to the soothing tone of his voice.
