213- Managing and marrying

Bellamy is breathing heavily and I am staring up at him, completely bewildered. I think back over my words and realise what’s wrong.

“Bellamy, I didn’t mean our red thread. That hasn’t changed.” I reassure him. I scrunch up my

nose.

“You really think I would leave you like that? And what, I waited until we were in bed together on the day we took in a child to do it?” I point out. Bellamy flushes red, he is still tense and leaning over me, but the panic is fading. I think I really scared him. Oops?

“Well when you put it that way, no. But I just… well. I was… concerned.” He forces out

awkwardly. Still bright red and still leaning over me.

“Bellamy, I have no intention of leaving you.” I tell him, a promise in my voice. He leans in and k*sses me lightly before moving back. He ends up on his side and I turn to face him.

“Okay, what were you trying to tell me before you gave me a heart attack?” Bellamy jokes.

“Something about our threads changing?” He prompts.

“Uh, yes. We each have a new one. Green ones connecting us to Kiara.” His eyebrows fly up.

“The mentor ones? I mean that does make sense I suppose.” He comments mildly.

“Well yeah, but why are they suddenly there? They weren’t before! My whole life I have never seen anyone’s threads change and now mine have changed twice and yours have changed too. What the hell is happening?” Bellamy can hear the anxiety in my voice and he pulls me close and strokes a soothing hand up and down my back.
