Bella POV
Breakfast was a fun affair. Everyone was joking and laughing with each other. These are the kind of moments I envied of others while living with my parents. Both of them being single meant meals were quiet affairs just the two of us, but most of the time I was on my own. Family meals were rare before I met the Salvatore's. I was happy to be joining their family and couldn't wait for the future when I could join my new family in their hunts. We wrapped up breakfast and went our separate ways for the day. Damon scooped me up and ran me to our spot in the woods. Damon, being the opposite of Edward meant that this spot was deep in the woods with very little light filtering through the thick branches. We sat, him with his back to the tree and me in between his legs, talking for several hours. We could have stayed longer if my stomach hadn't started rumbling.
We made lunch and had just finished eating when Stefan came back in, Elena trailing after him. She sneered at me and headed to the stove. Damon stood quickly and began clearing the few leftovers.
"Stefan," he asked, "would you like some food?"
"No thanks brother."
Elena huffed, hands on her hips. "Damon," she whined, "I was going to eat some of that."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, only Salvatore's get this lunch."
I snickered at the look of shock on her face. She whipped around to face me and said, "But, Bella isn't a Salvatore."
"Actually, as the bonded mate to Damon, we are technically married in the eyes of the supernatural," I replied with what I'm sure was a look of satisfaction on my face.
She huffed again, turned, and stomped like a petulant child into the living room. Damon came over and gave me a high five. Stefan sighed, "guys." I just shrugged my shoulders before standing to finish cleaning the kitchen.
