Ryan washes the dishes, finished them and grabs my hand, and leads me outside, he says, "Let's go take a walk down the shoreline." I smile and say yes to his offer, he holds my hand with his hand, he grasps firmly, but also makes it comfortable and squishy, we both laugh at that remark, a boat comes by and I wave to it, Ryan follows, he laughs at us, I laugh with him, we talk about ourselves, Ryan says if I reach down into my heart hard enough I'll know him like the back of my hand, and I did, and I saw so many memories of him, then we sit and watch the sunset, it was beautiful, Ryan speaks up, "Idk, if this is weird to you, on the first day, but... will you move into my room with me?" I look at Ryan, I say, "Yes, I will but as long as you don't kick me in your sleep!" We laugh and laugh I can hear his wolf chuckling too, then after the sun sets we walk back to the house, I can't believe this took five hours, we walked the whole way about 5 miles to one side and back, haha, it's so funny, then Ryan stops me, He says, "I need you to let me inside your memories Ari, and after all, I want to know what to get you for your birthday tomorrow!" I laugh, I unlock my heart for the first time, and I let him in, I've never let anyone besides myself and my dad inside my heart before.
Ryan picks me up and leads me up to his, I mean our..... room. he lays me down on the bed, he says, "We'll sleep together, and I arranged Emily to get your stuff into here all day, she said she'd do anything for you." I smile, and I also frown, I have a question... I say, "Hey Ryan, are you going to do anything? I hope not..... I believe in after marriage." he smiles and says, "I will not do anything my mate does not like." it sounds like he's reciting words from a rule book, Ryan moves his head around, he was taking my clothes and hanging them up for me, and he says, "Yea, it's kind of like a rule book, we have to recite it in our heads a day before our 16th birthdays, and we recite it for the rest of the years until we meet our mate, it's a thing we do, my dad did it for my mom, and it shows loyaly towards our mate, how much we love them, how much we care, we're like coin operated boys now... but it's fine at least I still have my free will, unless you say no to something, "thow shalt obeyth mateth." haha I just made that one up." we laugh. he speaks again, "But seriously that's real." I stop laughing, I say, "Well, I have another question for you." he smiles, and he says, "Lay it down on me, I'll always speak the truth." then I go on, "Well... what did you see in my memories?" he stopped for a moment, he took a deep breath, and said, "I saw the time when you moved, and I saw how your mother died, I remember what she said to you, but I'm saving that for later." I closed my mouth shut, I said, "Ryan, what did you see?" he looks down again, he says, "I saw the fight between you and your father....." I am furious, I don't even want to say anything, how could he. I make a brick wall in my mind, ugh! He just stands there, he keeps folding and hanging my clothes, with a big smile on his face, I yell, "Why aren't you trying to make me talk?" he just smiles even wider then comes to a frown, he stops folding and comes to my attention, and he says, "Please talk, I just broke a huge rule, please talk!" Then he laughs, I'm still frowning, he says, "I was kidding, I didn't see your fight, I just remember you being a little mad when I took your bag back here, and I asked Emily, she said it was because of that incase you were wondering, and again, I was joking, so for real, please talk." I lighten up a bit, I knock the wall over so Ryan can come in, Ryan goes back to folding, he finishes and grabs some pajamas for me to wear to bead, he picks out a white spaghetti strapped shirt that say, "I <3 Paris." and he picks some gray below the knee cut off sweat pants, he hands them to me, I go into the closet, and I close my mind from him and I Change, I know at the same time I'm changing Ryan is too, and I bet it's sweatpants and a white top. I knock twice, then he knocks back twice, I unlock the wall and I walk out of the closet, and I lay myself under the sheets and I see Ryan is wearing sweatpants, but with a black shirt, then he turns off all the lights except one, it's a really dark but faint light, he tells me to lay by back side towards him, he takes his finger and traces the lines of the markings, and he whispers to his wolf and himself, "She is ours, and only ours." I hear his wolf growling, it's like a lullabye, and then, I fall into a deep slumber.
