Once everyone leaves, Bellamy pulls me aside to talk.

“Ry, I didn’t mean for Rio to find out about us like that. It was an accident. I was just trying to be considerate. I guess I didn’t think it through as well as I should have.” His tone is apologetic. I sigh.

“I know that Bels, It’s not your fault. I’m not mad. Accidents happen.” I reassure him. He looks relieved, then contemplative.

“You didn’t have to tell her the truth.” He remarks. I roll my eyes.

“Sure I did. I said I want to keep things to ourselves, that doesn’t mean I want to outright lie to people. Rio already confirmed that there are rumours and eventually, I suppose we will confirm them.” I think aloud. Bellamy smiles happily.

“Good. I wouldn’t enjoy having to hear you deny that you’re mine.” He hugs me tightly and I poke him in the ribs.

“Maybe you’re mine.” I tease and he just laughs.

“Of course I’m yours. That was implied.” He assures me.

“Good.” I pull back.

And thank you by the way, for trying to be considerate by getting a woman to pack my stuff. Now. I’m still waiting for a phone call. I’m going to go unpack my stuff while I wait. Wanna come and rearrange it all when I inevitably put it in the ‘wrong‘ spots.” I joke. Bellamy grins.

“That sounds perfect.”

Apparently I’ve collected more junk over the years than I thought I had. It takes way longer to put away than expected. Some things I just throw away, but it’s interesting seeing how my stuff fits into Bellamy’s room. We set aside a few things because Bellamy has declared that he wants to build another shelf to display some of my favourite things. We’re just breaking down
