~Mitchel's POV~
Later that day, I arrived back at Belladonna's house after visiting my parents,and walked in. That's when I noticed it was too quiet,and smelled of lingering food.
I quietly walked to the living room,and Christian was asleep on a fold out bed sofa with Bella. He had both arms wrapped around her and his chin on her head. She had both arms around him,her face partially buried in his neck,and I could just make out her legs wrapped around his left leg,under the blanket.
Clinton was on the opposite sofa,also asleep. I took their photos and went to the guest room,stopping to grab my laptop and headphones. I sat,curled up under the covers,and plugged in my headphones,and turned on Netflix.
~Later~
I woke up to the aroma of dinner,and so I got up,stretching as I walked out to the living room. Clinton was cooking,and Kras was sat on the couch with Belladonna. She was sat in his lap,with her back against his chest, and He was showing her photos on his phone,and telling her the stories behind them.
Clinton looked over and finally acknowledged my presence. "Oh hey! You're up!" He beamed!
I softly chuckled. "Yea,Hey. Smells amazing." I replied. "Tastes even better. Kras and Bell already ate seconds." He replied with a light smile.
I softly laughed. "not surprised. You're a Damn good cook." I replied.
He smiled wider and hugged me,then handed me a plate.
We joined them in the living room, and Kras looked up and smiled. I returned it. He looked back at Bella. "Hey Hun, why don't you go cuddle up with Mitty now hm?" He asked her softly,kissing her cheek.
She nodded and kissed his forehead. She walked over and sat in my lap. She kissed my jaw,forehead,and down my nose.
"You sleep okay babygirl?" I asked her softly.
She lightly smiled and nodded. "It took a bit.. but Kras managed to calm me down and get me to sleep." She replied.
"You okay love? Did somethin happen?" I asked her.
"I just had a lot on my mind today and I was stressed out. Clinton talked me down and helped me breathe.. and Kras sang me to sleep." She replied softly.
"I've gotcha now. It's gonna be okay. We got this." I reassured her.
I looked at Kras. "Thank you." I mouthed. He nodded. I looked at Clinton and gave him a soft smile. He nodded with a light smile.
After I ate,Bella took me into the guest room. "So... While you were gone... I told Christian and Clinton I've never really told anyone.." "and.. I just.. I need you to promise me,you won't freak out." She explained with a soft sigh,running her fingers through her hair.
"I promise I won't freak out. I won't judge you. I promise." I comforted her.
She held my hand,interlacing our fingers. "You are the very first person I've ever been seriously in love with. I know that seems really fast.. and questionable." "but I've never been more sure of anything in my life.. I'm in love with you.. and I'm definitely scared.." "Cause for one,I know I'm going to fuck up along the way.. like everybody does.. and I don't want to lose you." "So... I'm really sorry if I lack in communication some days or if I'm a little too much.." "and in your face with... A lot of my anxiety or things that excite me. I'm really trying my best here." "I don't ever ask anyone for anything.. but I'm asking you for patience." She explained, her voice cracking and tears filling her eyes at the last sentence.
I looked at her in awe for a moment, then wiped away her tears. "I'm here for the long ride,cause I'm in love with you too. We're gonna be okay. We've got this." "We're strong. We'll take it slow." I reassured her.
She broke down from relief and clung to me. I held her protectively as I sat us on the bed.
Soon,Bella caught her breath,and her tears stopped. She yawned as she buried her face in my neck. "Can we nap together Mitty?" She murmured.
"Of course sweetheart." I replied endearingly.
We laid down,so I was big spoon. I hummed her favorite song to her,till she fell asleep,then I did too.
