18- Waiting and watching
Bellamy’s mood seems to have improved. Every now and then I glance up at him and every time he smiles at me. It’s actually almost scary. We finish eating then Bellamy pays for the food and leave to walk to his car which he claims is only a few streets away. His mood is still bright, in fact he might even be more cheerful than he was while we were eating.
“What’s with you all of a sudden?” I ask thoughtlessly. The smile on his face fades.
“What do you mean?” he asks cautiously. I shrug.
“I don’t know, you’re all happy. I can’t figure out why.” Bellamy looks

“Well, that meal went better than the last one. You didn’t even argue when I paid for the
food.” I roll my eyes at him.
“I figured I would just give you cash later, or pay if we end up eating out again.” Bellamy
shakes his head.
“Just leave it.” I open my mouth to object. He turns a dazzling smile on me.
“Please?” I frown. He is trying to charm me into compliance with that smile which just makes me more suspicious of it.
“Why?” Bellamy just shrugs.
“I like feeding you.” He freezes when his mind catches up with his words and realises how
odd it sounded.
“I mean… I. It’s no inconvenience, just think of it as a thank you for helping with my sister and…” he trails off awkwardly. I’m blushing and I drop my eyes to the ground. I think back to what Megan said about Shifters feeling generous towards their mates. I suppose there isn’t a lot I can do to change that, but I promise myself I will try not to take advantage of it.

that we’re fated, he would probably feel obligated to me and would treat me oddly. Not to mention the obligation that I’m already feeling towards him. Every time Megan mentions how important it is that he finds a mate as soon as possible I feel awful because I could basically solve half his life problems. Although I’m not really sure if a non–Shifter mate is what the Betas are expecting from him. Still, I think I would rather get to know Bellamy without the pressure, at least he won’t feel the pressure. I’ll just ignore it as best as

Part of me is screaming that this could be a perfect time to tell him about OUR thread. He’s in a good mood and we haven’t fought in at least thirty minutes. But I talk myself out of it. For starters, I am not giving him such shocking information while he is behind the wheel of a car. He would likely kill us both. I jump
