Shailene Point Of View.

"Wow," I say through the phone. "I had no idea it was that bad between you two."

Theo is on the other side. He's having problems with Ruth again.

He sighs loudly. " She's just so different now. All the attention she's been getting for being on that TV Show has just gone to her head." 

He was refering to Ruth's new part on The Following. The storyline with her and Hunter Parrish's character had taken off really well, and she was now getting attention for more tahn just Theo James'  girlfriend. Former girlfriend now I guess.

"Yeah, some people just get to caught up in themselves" I reply, trying not to smile. It's difficult not to though. Ever since I had met Theo in that casting office in February 2012, I had a massive crush on him. It didnt help that as part of my job, I had to be in love with him and kiss him all the time. 

So when we went out for lunch not too long after the audition, to get to know eachother, I was completely heartbroken to learn that his girlfriend was Ruth Kearney.

It was tough though, what with Ruth always on set. She was always with Theo, and when I say always, I mean always. It was as if she was afraid of losing him, and felt that she needed to keep a tight hold on him.

Yet the thing that confused me the most was how she referred to herself as an actress. Just becuase you star in a movie or two, doesnt ultimately make you an actress. She was too cocky and I didn't like her.

"Yeah, you're right Shai."  Theo says bringing me back to the present. "What are you doing?"

"Uhh," I quickly try to come up with something that would suggest me having a somewhat interesting life outside of work but I fail. I laugh. "I'm just in bed." I say truthfully.

Theo chuckles. "What you wearing?" He sings in a mocking tone.

I choke on my water and begin laughing histerically.  He's flirting, that one. Cannot help himself. I decide to play along.

"Oh you know, just a t-shirt...and crothless panties." I answer wittly.

I decide to ask him a question before he can ask me another. "What about you? What does the legendary Theodore Taptiklis wear around the house?"

His british accent is thick. "Nothing."

After six hours and arguments about who should hang up first, Its me who finally hangs up. At the end of our conversation one thing is clear; Theo James is finally single.

I fall asleep with that one fact  floating through my brain.
