125–Bashful and meless


    COCK TALES


    Amber has been added to the group.


    Ryann- Hi Amber. In case you don’t know, this group chat is dedicated to documenting the tales of my


    friend Harry flirting with this cute bartender chick who is apparentlypletely uninterested in him. This


    is particrly entertaining as he is an Incubus and doesn’t usually have to work so hard for a girl’s


    attention.


    Harry- Hi Ryann’s friend. I want it noted that I am in fact incredibly handsome and ridiculously


    charming. It’s this girl that’s the strange one.


    Amber- Noted. To avoid confusion, I am an Oracle and sometimes know extra things about the people


    around me. Don’t ask if I know things, if I tell you anything it’s because I’ve chosen to and no amount of


    whining will change my mind. <3


    Harry- No spoilers, no problem. Now back to the current issue. Do I drink the spelled drink this woman


    has given me?


    Amber- I can guarantee it won’t kill you. So I vote yes. And document what happens. Photos and


    videos are appreciated… unless it’s dirty. Then keep it to yourself!


    Ryann- Well, I guess I’ll vote yes too. It can’t be worse than the intentionally gross drinks she was


    making you before right?


    Harry- True. Well in that case, bottoms up!

    Ryann- I know right? Harry won’t let us meet her though -_-


    Ryann- What did she give him???


    Harry- A silencing spell. I can’t talk.


    Ryann- LOL That is funny. I guess she was sick of your lines.


    Harry- I wasn’t even flirting… much.


    Amber- It won’tst too long. When it wears off tell the bartender chick I owe her a high five


    when we meet.


    Harry- Will do. Since I can’t talk I need to free up my hands… formunication purposes.


    I’ll ttyldies. Night!


    Ryann- Night Harry


    Amber- Night dude. Ryann, a reminder. You forgot to tell Bemy something earlier. My apologies for


    knowing that….


    Ryann-


    …. It’s all good. Thanks for the reminder.


    Ryann- And night Megan, forter when you finish your studying and catch up on your


    messages <3


    With a groan I drop my phone andy my head back on Bemy’s shoulder. In my anger with Bemy


    earlier, I had forgotten how embarrassed I was. Note to self. Avoid intimate situations. when discussing


    things that are important to Amber. I know she doesn’t intentionally see things and has no control over


    her visions and I know she would ignore it if she saw something really personal. Still… I know Bemy


    and I were just k*ssing… but I am apparently not keen on the idea of PDA. I think I’m just going to have


    to ept that Amber might know things I’m not super keen on sharing and trust that she will do her


    best to respect my privacy.


    Bemy notices me dropping my phone and he leans down to k*ss the top of my head.

    “Everything okay?” He asks as he tightens the arm he has around me a little. I can’t help but sigh as I


    snuggle into his side even more. I turn to hide my face against his shoulder.


    “Yes.” my answer is muffled against him.


    “I was just reminded about what an awkward person I am. I remembered that I forgot to tell you why I


    freaked out earlier, well… freaked out before you said stupid things at least.” I correct. Bemy pulls


    back a little to examine my face. I think he’s trying to work out if I’m still angry. I give a reassuring smile


    and he rxes a bit.


    “In that case, let me re–wind and do what I should have done earlier when I realised that you were


    feeling ufortable. Ryann sweetheart, what’s bothering you?” he asks gently and I can’t help but


    snort out augh.


    “Smooth, a littlete though. Okay, so you know how Amber is an Oracle?” I start. Bemy


    nods.


    “Yeah, that was the whole reason you invited her over.” He agrees.


    “What about it?” he questions.


    “Well…she tends to have visions about things rted to her but she only knows the things I see with


    my magic if I say it or write it down or something. Basically she sees things like a movie, she can’t read


    minds. She knows about her red thread to Shaun which means she saw me telling someone and you’re


    the only person I intend to actually tell since it would be sort of rude to go around sharing their personal


    stuff, particrly since Shaun doesn’t know yet. But I wanted to tell you.” Why am I feeling shy? This


    makes no sense. Ugh. Bemy however looks delighted.


    “I’m d you want to tell me.” He grins, then it fades and confusion follows.


    “I’m still not quite sure what this has to do with your fre- difort earlier.” He admits. I roll my eyes at


    his self correction.


    “Amber knows about her thread, which means she had a vision of my telling you. Which means she


    had a vision of us… and I suddenly felt like we were being watched and got embarrassed. I have no


    idea how much she actually sees. It would seem that I am not

    particrlyfortable with PDA.” I joke. Bemy lets out a huge breath and shakes his head. He runs


    his free hand through his hair.


    “Okay, now I feel like even more of a jerk than I did before. I can definitely see how that would make


    you ufortable.” He admits.


    “Don’t feel bad. You didn’t know. You waited until Shaun left, you had no way of knowing that we still


    had an audience.” I lean back into his side and try to rx. Bemy sighs and wraps his arms around


    me again.


    “I know. I still feel bad though. I don’t really care if people see us together, although I admit that taking


    that situation any further would have been awkward when I have to eventually see your friend.” He


    considers a moment.


    “I think I might enjoy it a little too much if Shaun were to see us k*ssing though. Just to make our


    rtionship clear.” hements and I p his chest lightly.


    “Don’t act like a caveman. We’ve already been over this.” I lecture. Bemyughs.


    “I know, I know.” He smooths a hand over my hair soothingly.


    “Just please don’t get mad again.” He pleads and it’s my turn tough.


    “I won’t as long as you’re being honest and mostly reasonable.” I promise. I try to ignore the little twinge


    of guilt in my chest. I know he agreed to it, but keeping our rtionship private clearly isn’t great for


    Bemy’s over protective, jealous side. It’s definitely making him feel insecure. It’s strange, he doesn’t


    seem like the kind of person who would be insecure. He has his whole confident alpha thing going on.


    But when ites to me he worries about every little thing. I know it’s because he cares, but that just


    makes me feel worse. I know exactly what I should do to help him feel secure, but I just can’t bring


    myself to tell everyone and face all the Shifters. I find myself stroking my fingers over his red string


    bracelet. Bemy seems to be reading my mind.


    “It’s really okay. I promise. I know I’ve been a little on edge, and these psychos threatening you hasn’t


    helped that. None of this has gone quite how I would have nned it. But even so, we’re doing alright.


    If we can deal with all this, then things will only get better when everything gets settled.” Finally his self


    assured tone is back and I’m relieved. Still, I need to


    WWW/4/5/6


    say something.


    “I promised this whole keeping on the down low thing


    uldn’t be forever and I do intend to


    keep that promise. I’m working on it. I really am.” I tell him, my voice fading out a little


    towards the end.


    “I know you are. I’ve seen it and you’ve been doing so well at adjusting to a lot of changes in a really


    short amount of time. This whole situation has been a lot harder on you than it has been on me. I’ve


    dragged you out of your home; away from your work and away from pretty much every familiar thing. I


    definitely do not want to push you into anything else before. you’re ready. Besides, the bright side of


    this being a sort of secret is that at least we know us being together probably isn’t the reason that


    someone is after you.” he concludes.


    “Wait, but I thought you were insisting before that this was all because of you? It’s not by the way, but


    why the change of heart?” I question.


    oh I’m 5 pretty sure that all of this is because of our rtionship, but not because anyone knows about


    it. I’ve dragged you into something and somehow that’s offended someone. I don’t know how exactly,


    but all the trouble you’ve hadtely is definitely my responsibility.” I roll my eyes.


    “You say that like I didn’t agree to anything or make any of my own choices. I could have


    ignored you or walked away. I’m just as responsible for my actions as you are for


    yours. Thank you very much! Besides, I’ve already decided to me whoever the psychos are. This is


    totally one hundred percent not on us.” I dere loudly, ending the debate. Bemy gives in with a


    laugh and I ask him to read to me some more. I fall asleep to the soothing tone of his voice.
