"Sam, you're amazing." She breathed as she kissed my cheek while she passed me. Seating herself beside me in her chair, she took a bite of the food and smiled winningly. "It's amazing!"
I scoffed playfully. "Way to doubt me, Red." I grumbled lightly, earning an elbow to the forearm. It didn't hurt and I chuckled to which she huffed. "I had a great teacher."
"Of course you did." She swallowed her bite and her cheeks reddened. It was so odd to see that happen because after everything we've done together the last half year we've been together, she hadn't blushed very often at all. "You're a great teacher too." She said quietly before scooping another bite of cheesy pasta goodness into her tiny mouth. I watched as her lips wrapped around the fork and had to adjust my seat.
"I just remembered something." I said. She looked at me inquiringly. "It's only been like what, 6 months since I found you in the woods?" I asked. She nodded, a wrinkle forming between her brows as she wondered why I was bringing this up. Though she was over Cullen and his bloodsucking tendencies, I'd been meaning to let her know about the leech that was hanging around. She probably didn't know anything about her but I didn't like to leave her in the dark about anything. It felt oddly close to lying.
"Sam, what's up?" She asked, setting her fork down and giving me her full attention.
I cleared my throat and set my utensil down as well. "I've been meaning to tell you so don't think I was hiding anything. With everything going on, learning each other, growing our relationship, playtime, and then the engagement, I hadn't wanted to think of patrols and wolfing out. I actually came home to tell you yesterday but that asshat was here and well, you know what happened afterwards." I knew I was rambling but I was getting more and more nervous about telling her.
"Will you just spit it out, already? I'm not going to be mad that you forgot to tell me something. So long as you're not lying or hiding anything?" She checked.
"No it's not like that. I really did want to put it off until I could finish what had to be done but it's proving more difficult than we imagined so I was going to tell you last night."
"Then just tell me." Bella lifted the glass of milk to her lips and took a small sip. I waited until she set the glass down and licked the milk mustache from her upper lip.
