Through his eyes

31

"Can I come over?" Imani asked,
"Okay"

I stopped listening after that because as soon those words left my mouth I noticed what I'm actually agreeing on
Imani
In my house
In my bedroom?!

I turned on the light on my nightstand and looked around my room - there were a few shirts flying around and my desk was full of homework and random stuff, a few books were on the floor because I was to lazy to place them back in my bookshelf

I wouldn't really say my bedroom's a mess but my bedroom is a mess.

I quickly got up from my bed and decided to put on some dark blue pyjama pants since I usually only sleep in my boxers but that's not important right now , I tried to make my bedroom as presentable as possible but it was already to late when Imani texted me that she was already there,

I quietly sneaked downstairs making sure not to trip over Wills toys I told him to get rid off and opened the door.

Imani was only dressed in a thin coat when she stood in the doorway,
"Uhh do you want to come in or keep standing there?" I asked feeling a little shy all of a sudden,
I should've put a shirt on

"Uh yes right" she said as she got inside
"And I'm so sorry for waking you up-" she spoke rather loudly
"Shhh my dad, Zoe and Will are sleeping" I whispered
"Oh yes right" she whispered
"Uh yeah my bedroom is upstairs"
"Lead the way" Imani chuckled lightly

"I'm sorry for the mess I uhh hadn't really time to clean my room" I said not needing to whisper anymore since I closed the door behind me,
"Nahh it's okay - you really don't want to see my bedroom when it's not cleaned" she said walking further inside

I was slightly nervous because I never have any girls over Ashley was a exception.
"It's nice" she stated after a while meanwhile I just stood here not knowing what to do

"It's very Theodore-ish" she said laughing to herself, she removed her thin coat she was wearing and dayum! I always knew Imani was quite curvaceous but damn her tight pyjamas just proved it more.

She got comfortable on my bed and I took this as a sign to turn of the light, my bed isn't really a double bed nor a single bed but we still would be pretty close to each other,
I got comfortable as well and turned off the lamp on my nightstand.

I usually sleep on my stomach but decided against it when I felt Imani placing her head on my chest and an arm over my stomach
Out of instinct I hugged her waist and closed my eyes.

"Goodnight" she whispered
"G'night" I responded already drifting off to sleep.

•••

If there's one thing I hate the most in the morning is when somebody wakes me up before I even have to get up.

"Shit I'm sorry" Imani whispered as her alarm went off at freaking 5 in the morning,
she got out of my embrace and turned her phone off.

I huffed feeling a sudden cold
"Why do you even wake up this early?" I groaned
"It takes me a while to get ready in the morning" she smiled sheepishly

I normally wake up between 7 and 7:30 and arrive at 8 at school, these are some things I will never understand about women. You wake up 3 hours before class just to be late anyways but okay.

"Whatever" I mumbled as I pulled Imani towards me and cuddle her again, she's so warm and soft - I could stay like this forever.

•

I was about to fall asleep again but Imani kept moving and tousling around
"Can you please stop moving around so much?" I asked groggily
"Oh sorry I just can't fall asleep anymore" she whispered

I glanced at watch hanging on my wall which read 6:28 am, I sighed and decided to get up and stretch myself
"Well let's get up then" I stated turning back around to Imani starring at me with wide eyes
"U-uh yes yes sure!" She said quickly,

Zoe and Will would be waking up anytime soon so Imani and me quickly went inside the bathroom to brush our teeth.

"And your parents are okay with me sleeping here?" Imani asked as I looked for a spare toothbrush
"I dunno" I shrugged having found a spare toothbrush to give her and receiving a quiet thanks
"But what if they aren't okay with that?"
"Then so be it - trust me they won't and my dad is still at work and Zoe doesn't really care" I explained

"Zoe?" She asked placing toothpaste on both our brushes
"Yeah she's Wills mom"
"Oh so she's your stepmother"
"Uh yeah"

I don't like that word stepmother and I will never see Zoe as such.

"And your mom?"
"She left when I was younger" I said spitting some toothpaste out before continuing to brush my teeth.

Imani just nodded and also continued brushing her teeth, I couldn't help but stare at her beauty. I think this is the first time I've seen her all natural and god did she look stunning.

"You can use the shower if you want I have some clothes for you to wear" I offered
"Great thanks"

I closed the door behind me and Heard- Imani lock it,

Zoe's sudden appearance startled me when she spoke up
"Who was that? Ezra?" She asked pointing to the bathroom door
"Erm no... my uhh my girlfriend"
"Oh okay, why is she visiting us this early?"
"Eh no, she actually stayed overnight" I admitted scratching my neck,

Zoe took a quick glance at my appearance before speaking up again
"Okayy" she dragged out "looks like your father and I will have to set a few new rules" she said quietly as she walked towards Wills bedroom.

I went inside my bedroom and looked for something Imani could wear when I heard her enter my bedroom,

"I don't know if these will fit you but here" I said handing her one of my hoodies and gym shorts.

I tried not to show how much her standing her in a towel affects me - I gotta show some respect, I'm not that desperate.

"I'm gonna take a quick shower, be right back" I said before leaving and heading towards the bathroom.

•••

Freshly showered and dressed me and Imani went downstairs to have some breakfast before school - and no I got dressed in the bathroom in case some were wondering.

"Who are you" Will asked curiously when Imani and me sat down,

"I'm Imani, Theo's girlfriend" she introduced herself nicely
"It's lovely to meet you Imani" Zoe chirped in

Will stared at us seeming very confused - he will understand this when he gets older
"Girlfriend" he said to himself "can you be my girlfriend too?" He asked later on
"But Imani is already my girlfriend, when you're older you can have your very own girlfriend" I said chuckling while eating my cereal.

Imani seemed amused by this by the way she was smiling to herself as she ate some toast and fruits
"You are the girl from Theo's phone" Will said all of sudden,
"Hm?" Imani asked
"He likes to look at you in the mornings" Will exposed, I felt the heat in my ears and cheeks as I started to feel embarrassed about Will exposing me like that

"Will why don't you just eat your waffles hm?" I asked him
"No no let him talk" Imani said smiling widely
She's enjoying this way to much.

Sometimes it feels like as if Will is doing this on purpose I mean that would explain a lot actually.

"Theo always talks about you when-"
"-Yeah yeah okay I think we heard enough about me today" I broke Will off causing Imani to giggle
"Now get dressed so Zoe can drop you off at school" I said sternly

"Yeah we should get going too" Imani said getting up.

A/N: Quick question guys, I need your opinion on chapters like these since I feel like they give you guys a view into Theo's life when it's not so messy if you know what I mean

And I know I guys are waiting for them to do the nasty but not yet my darlings not yet😏
