Chapter 7

|Shai's pov|

I fell asleep a few hours ago from crying too hard ; just a nap. My phone ringing makes me jump. I reach over and see it's Theo. I don't want to answer, but it might be important.

"H-Hello?" I hesitate.

"Shai! I know I don't deserve anything, but it is raining and I need a ride. i just broke up with Ruth and I am just so upset. Please come get me I am at her hotel," Theo says. I can hear tears forming.

"Yes. Of course Theo. I will be there in a few minutes," I hang up and grab my coat and walk out to my rental car.

I didn't even see that it was raining this whole time.

++++

"Theo!?" I yell out. A dark figure walks to me and embraces me in a hug. I can smell him; Theo. The rain is pouring down around us.

"I am sooo sorry Shai. Please forgive me. I lo-" Theo apologizes and cuts himself off.

"What?" I ask. Was he about to say--

"Shai. I am sorry. I-I love y-you," he whispers. "Don't leave me. I won't leave you. I promise."

"Theo--"

"Please," he begs.

"Okay. Okay Theo," I whisper back and smile. He gives me his famous smirk and leans in..

"Say 'I forgive you Theo'," Theo whispers against my face. Our noses are touching.

"I forgive you Theo," I mumble.

He finally rests his palms against my cheeks and gives me a slow, meaningful kiss. Better than on-screen.

"I don't wanna go too fast," I pull back a bit and say repeating Tris' words from the first movie and book. We rest our foreheads together.

"Don't worry. I already have my spot on the floor," Theo repeats Four's words from the first movie and book in his American accent.

++++

We head back to the set, into my trailer, spending the rest of the night watching movies and cuddling on the couch.

"Shai?" Theo asks.

"Yeah?" I wonder and prop my head against his chest.

"I know I just broke up with Ruth, but will you be my girlfriend?" He continues on with his question.

I nod and pull up to kiss his jawbone.
