I already knew that there is something different about Theo but it starts to really prove so the next day when he calls me while I'm in the middle of a fantastic dream involving Michael Ealy.
"Hey, are you busy?"
He growls into the phone.
"I was sleeping."
I grumble, rolling over on my stomach.
"Good. Come over here and sleep."
"Theo, I only have a couple of hours before I have to go to work. You want me to get up and drive to your apartment just to go back to sleep?"
I complain.
"Just bring your stuff and get ready over here. I want to see you, Ayah."
Is all he says.
I just stare at my phone, blinking.
Then I groan.
Ugh.
Now I have to get up and do stuff.
I grumble to myself as I slip on a pair of pajama pants and an old undershirt.
He better be glad I forgot to go grocery shopping, they better have a fridge full of food when I go over there.
I get a text right as I'm parking.
Theo: Be quiet when you get here, Mason has a girl over.
I raise an eyebrow.
I wonder who it is, I know he's been talking to one of the models from that academy.
Also a daycare teacher down on Jubilee Street.
And that woman who works at the dollar store, now that I think about it.
He jumps up when I walk in.

He groans, wrapping his arms around me.
I try not to show my surprise.
Oh my God, he still smells absolutely amazing.
"What is that, pears?"
"Uh huh, it's Kent Garden. A nice touch, huh?"
He asks awkwardly.
"Yeah."
I whisper, slowly hugging him back.
...Aww.
I never thought I'd be hugging him.
I close my eyes, slowly resting my head on his hard chest.
It's even better than I imagined.
"I miss you."
He whispers by my ear.
Tingles shoot down my arms.
"You are being very sweet right now, Theo. There's still time to stop."
I tease quietly.
"Stop it."
He grumbles, shuffling back reluctantly.
I can't stop smiling after that.
He's cute.
"Okay, so how is this supposed to work? I have work at 9 so-"
"Right. Here, come here. You can lay on that side with this pillow."
I frown as he hands it to me.

Roman d'amour"Ayah, this is my roommate, Theo." I smile politely at the scowling man, not making a move to shake his hand like I usually do when I meet a friend of Mason. He looks like he'd rip my arm off even if his arms weren't full. "Ah, so this is the little...
