Episode 07, August 8th, 2020

The Ginger-honey soup was delicious, the honey went perfectly with the ginger and leaks. The way its warmth filled my throat, soothing my nervous muscles. It reminded me of when Novi used to make food, She would put a godawful amount of seasoning in that made you want to run outside and eat the dirt from the ground just from watching. Although when she had finished, the food was always soft and went together perfectly. No clashing tastes, it was always perfect.

The room was silent, save for sounds of silverware clacking gently against our plates, and the bird song outside. It was extremely calming; Serene, one could live in this moment, it was so peaceful. But on the same token, I wanted to speak to him.

'Sa-Samuel,?" I managed to stutter out. God that was embarrassing.

"Yes?".he turning his head to face me, before his eyes grew wide with concern."Are you hurt, shall I call for Cecilia? ".

He quickly got off the bed rushing for the door.

"No, no, no! Samuel, I'm fine I merely wanted to speak with you. "I called reaching for him.

"Oh, okay I...I'm sorry." He sat gently back down on the bed.

"Yesterday, you said we were mates, I can feel it.I...I felt it last night but, I, kinda just thought you had like..., a calming aura?"I wasn't lying, I could feel it when he looked at me or just his presence. It was overwhelming.

   Samuel sat and studied my face for a moment, but just as he opens his mouth to speak I couldn't wait, I needed to ask him, but the answer terrified me.

"Are you going to reject me?"I asked before he could speak. He looked confused, almost offended.

"Are you going to reject me? He asked, leaning a little towards me.

"I asked you first.". Couldn't he just answer me? Why make it difficult, just tell it to me straight. Does he want me or not?

"I asked you second," he said playing with his eyebrows, clearly trying to get me into a more playful mood. I couldn't though I'm so terrified. What if he doesn't want me?What if he thinks I'm worthless? Disgusting? I'm just some small kid. I can feel tears prickling at my eyes. Shit! No, don't start crying! He'll think I'm weak, or weaker than he already does, and I'm not weak. I try to blink my tears away before he can see; but alas, too late. He reaches a hand to my cheek wiping my tears away gently with his thumb. 

"Edan, I'm sorry it's just you surprised me by asking. Of course, I'm not going to reject you. Are... you going to reject me?"He asked looking directly into my eyes. 

"No, I won't." 

As happy as this made me, I've heard before of people who meet their mates and have sex the moment they meet, before they even get to know each other, or who loch the other away because of their possessive and protectiveness.    Taking Samuels's hand from my cheek I held it in my lap. Looking up at him, I'm realizing that this is an important moment in our relationship.

   "I don't want to rush this Samuel. If were gonna do this then I wanna do it right, a real relationship, not rushed. I want to get to know you. Is that ok?".I ask him seriously.

"Yes, yes, that's how I want to do it too!"Samuel exclaimed eagerly leaning towards me ."So...who goes first? "Samuel's demeanor suddenly was very shy. 

Oh god, he's way too cute, I think... I'll go first. Smiling to myself I take both of his hands in mine and look straight at him.

" I, Edan March accept you, Samuel, As my mate.". 

Samuel bites his lip, and squeezing my hands he vows"I Samuel Lowell accept you, Edan, As my mate."

Both of us smiling The large man wrapped his arms around me excitedly, us laughing together. Putting our foreheads against each other I whispered: "Your mine now Samuel".Giggling Samuel whispered back "Yeah, you're stuck with me now baby."
