Chapter 15

FUCK I'VE DIED ANYWAYS IF YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I LISTENED TO WHILE WRITING THIS CHAPTER HERE YOU GO

Leah groans while flopping onto her mattress and I massage the bridge of my nose. "And that's everyone, all the moms, dads, aunts, uncles and family friends who live with us."

"Holy shit how do you remember them all?" She slaps a messily drawn chart mapping out the family tree. At the very top was the Alpha and then Leah's parents and their siblings, and then Leah and her siblings and pridemates and their mates and then her few nieces and nephews.

"And then there's the ranks. It's basically wolf ranking but 10x more complicated in who gets what rank and get rid of omega rank."

"Care to elaborate?"

"Fuck no."

"Fair." A long silence follows.

"Where do I sleep?" Leah rolls over, her head on one arm. My eyes meet her electric blue ones.

"We have a couple of guest rooms in the houses off the main house but uh..." She blushes and looks away again. "You could always stay in my room." My eyes widen. "I mean we don't have to share a bed! We have some sleeping bags and spare mattresses and you can also take my bed and I can sleep on the floor or on the couch or I can sleep in the sleeping bags and mattresses or I can go to one of my siblings' rooms though not the ones who have mates sleeping in the same room as them that would be awkward and even weirder if they wanted to do more than just sleep-" I cover her mouth with my hand, trying not to break out into a fit of giggles.

"We can share the bed." Her face brightens. Plying my palm off her face, she lifts up her head.

"We can- Of course we can, you just said so but uh we can?" I burst into laughter.

"I don't see why not."

"Then uh did you bring a toothbrush? Wait of course you didn't you came here right after school uhh do you want a spare?" I nod, still smiling from her silliness. "Then uhhhh I'll go get one. Do you wanna shower now or in the morning or-"

"I'll take a toothbrush, I'll shower after dinner and I'll shower before you. I don't have any allergies and I don't have any preferences." Leah flushes and nods.

"I'll, uh, tell my dad."

"And I'll wait here." She chuckles awkwardly and very stiffly turns to the door before rushing out at a speed that Sonic would be proud of.

Well.

This is awkward.

I sat in silence while waiting for Leah to come back. By the time she returns I'm playing crossy road and mentally screaming at my phone after dying for the who-knows-how-many-eth time.

"My dad told me to tell you that- er- Dinner's ready."

"Finally!" I exclaim, jokingly. Leah turns a bright scarlet.

"I- er- yeah, um. I'll cya- actually- um. Wanna just walk down with me?" She's being awfully awkward and it's kind of adorable but you know what I'm not gonna tell her that.

"Lead the way milady." Leah ducks her head and looks away before leading my downstairs. Leya chuckles at the sight of us.

"My oh my how the tables turn." Leah shoots her a glare and I just look confused. In response she explains that "When Leah first met you, she made all the moves and you straight up avoided her and now look at you! Leah looking all flustered and you being all forward and flirty.

"Wait I think you have the wrong idea-" Leah tries to explain but Leya waves it off.

"But do I? Do I really?"

"...I'm trying!"

"Mhm, now hurry down we're waiting." Leah glares at her again. Grabbing my hand, she drags me down.

Wait.

She's holding my hand. She's holding my hand in hers and she's holding it. Like she has her hand around mine. I mean she's holding my hand. Is this what they call a gay panic? I bet this is what they call a gay panic. I'm having a gay panic.

Also damn bro she has big hands. Like my hands and fingers are tiny compared to hers. Like dude she can almost wrap her hands completely around the width of mine. I'm not even kidding. Am I panicking? I'm not panicking. Am I? Fuck I am. I'm not ready for this shit. I'm trusting her wayyyy too quickly. I mean we're not gonna go past this, are we? I mean we're sleeping in the same bed later but wait we're sleeping in the same bed. Was I fucking drunk? Why would I do this? Ah shit is it too late to change my mind now? Oh dear wh-

"Bridgette?"

"Yes! Yes, I'm here. I'm Bridgette." Leah, who's obviously holding in laughter, turns back to me.

"I know that darling." Oh shitty shit shit shit she called me darling. I think she just realized that too cus we're both just standing outside the dining room now. Holding hands. Blushing. Refusing to look at each other. Fun.

"You gonna keep standing there lovebirds or you gonna come in and eat?" Leah brings me to the far right of the table where Nicholas was wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. Leah simply flicks him off and sits down.

Dinner was delicious. The Alpha had made a huge ass lamb with the help of some servants and the cookie dough he was making earlier was for the ice cream sandwiches that melted in my mouth. Not to mention he made a thick tomato soup that we ate with toasted bread. And the appetizers and side dishes. Oh god those were great. I swear I'll never eat again, I'm so full.

"Your dad can cook like a fucking beast." She chuckles.

"If you're staying tomorrow too, we're having pasta."

"I can't marry into your family soon enough." I only realize what I've said after Leah crawls on top of me.

"Then why don't we speed up the process, hm?" I blush and shoot up, almost hitting Leah in the face.

"Nope nope nope too soon." Leah erupts into fits of laughter.

"I'm just saying if you do you can eat my dad's food for the rest of your life!"

"Why must you seduce me with food when you know I shall succumb"

"It is for that very reason I do so darling." She's flirting again oh my sweet goodness what do I do. Wait- flirting?

Well two can play at that game.

"Oh Leah can you come over here?"
