I Might be in Love With you (Theo James Fanfic)

Chapter 12

I woke up the next day, Theo's arms wrapped around me softly. I smiled as I brushed my lips against his chest, it woke him up softly with a yawn.

"Good morning," I say as I stand up half naked. Oh god... What happened last night?

"Morning gorgeous," He says, leaning towards me with his hands wrapped around my waist. I give out yet another smile, unwrapping his arms. I go to his closet and find a button-up shirt, barely covering my butt. I turned around, buttoning it up.

"So when are we going to Chicago?" I say, moving closer to him who is sitting on the edge of the bed. I sit on his lap, fully facing him, my face centimeters away from his.

"In 2 weeks." He says, grabbing me by my waist and pulling me in closer. 2 WEEKS? NO I'M NOT READY HOLY SHIT.

"Theo I can't go in two weeks. It's too early!" I tell him with a concerned look yet still comfortably sitting on his lap.

"What do you mean you can't? Your mom agreed and let you go..." I couldn't go.

"Theo... I can't." I whisper, placing my hand on his cheek carefully brushing it.

"Why? What's holding you back?" He says, moving my hand away from his cheek in a quick motion without causing any pain. My concerned look trasformed into a painless numb one.

"I have college interviews in two weeks." I just remembered I hadn't told my mom either. Shit. Shit. Shit. I was looking at Theo's face which had pain written all over it.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, slowly pushing me off so that he could stand up. Before I could even answer my eyes were locked with his hot abs.

"I didn't know it was going to happen within weeks! I was thinking within months if not a year!" I said, trying hard not to burst into tears. Theo looked at me with pleading eyes.

Theo POV

I looked at her with pleading eyes. I needed her more than anything.

"Chanel... Please." I tried convincing her but on the second hand, her college education mattered way more than being with me right now. A coat of silence covered the room as I gazed into her eyes.

"Theo. I want to go so bad. Really. I'd do anything to go with you because I love you. I love you." She said, softly giving me a sadder look. I looked into her eyes deeper, to see her trying her best to hold back her tears.

"It's fine. You don't have to go. I'll visit when I can and then you'll visit when you can and once the interviews are over you can come here and it'll all be okay. I promise." I tell her as I walk away, putting on my skinny jeans. I could sense her soft glance looking at me. I sighed.

"I'm going with you." She said firmly yet there was something about her voice that trembled as she said 'you'.

"And your interviews?" I asked, finishing buttoning my pants. I waited a couple of seconds for an answer but only felt gentle hands wrapped around my waist. I smiled. However then I felt her soft and warm hands let go of me. I turned around and saw her trying hard not to cry.

"I can't miss them, Theo. No matter how many times I tell you I'm going with you, I cannot keep that promise." Her voice shakes more and more until she breaks down. I quietly walk over to her and hug her.

"It is okay. We can visit and you can come once they're all over." I give a soft smile, pushing her carefully away holding her shoulders. She wipes away her tears but they keep coming.

"Theo, I should probably go home. Mom's probably worried, um yeah. I'll go." She moves away softly, still in my shirt. "Right, I'll give this back to you." She whispered, turning bright red. I gave out a chuckle,

"Keep it." I quickly blurted it out and watched her unbutton it but then re-button it. She didn't give any reaction and put on her pants. I looked at her, hoping to hear a word from her, but I didn't. And with that, she left.
