Sheo's Story

Chapter Twenty-Two

Shai's POV:

It's a new day, and I'll always start a new day positively, although I'm still so confused with Theo. I just wish he gave me the chance to explain it was Miles' last day, and Ansel was there too! I also wish he'd understand I'm not being nosey when I asked where he was, I just wanted him to know what it felt like, how invasive it felt. I don't mind telling Theo things as long as he understands it's my choice. I know we need to talk about this before it evolves, because we're in a relationship, and we're not meant to keep our feelings to ourselves. So I'll text him later, he's probably still asleep now. I know I wouldn't usually care what he's doing, but I can't help but wonder why he wouldn't tell me, I must admit I jumped to conclusions quickly, praying he wasn't cheating. Which was unfair of me, I need to give him chance to explain, just like what he needed to do. I'm sure this will be a big misunderstanding, but I still worry. At least it shows I care.

Theo's POV:

Is Shai serious? After everything Miles said she could've at least told me where she was going and maybe we could have discussed it. I know I could have handled it better, and she probably thinks I'm being suspicious now, but I need her to trust me. We can't be on bad terms, I've got the most special evening planned. I don't know whether to text Shai, or go to her room, but I think we both have stuff to say. I've decided it would be best to see her in person to talk, but for some reason I'm nervous and begin to pace the length of my room planning what I want to say. The amount of speeches that I come up with is embarrassing, what am I doing? This is my girlfriend it's meant to come from my heart, not my head. So I walk down the hallway a few steps to Shai's room and knock boldly.

Shai's POV:

There's a loud knock at my door and I know exactly who it is. It's Theo. I take a deep breath and walk over to my door pausing when I get there. I need to say everything I feel, for the sake of honesty in this relationship. I answer the door, and smile and little, whilst welcoming him in. He leans against the wall and looks uncomfortable, as if he's struggling for words, so I thought I'd speak first.

"About yesterday," I begin whilst knotting my fingers together, "I don't think you gave me much of a chance to explain..."

"Explain what? Why you were at Miles' when he clearly has strong feelings for you?" Theo interrupts seeming more angry than what he was.

"You're doing it again Theo..." I can't hide the disappointment in my face, "I was at Miles, which I admit, could have gone wrong, but firstly I need you to trust that I would walk away, and secondly it wasn't just me and Miles, Ansel was there too. Miles wouldn't try anything with Ansel around. We were just spending the day together as Miles is leaving tomorrow to see his family. That's all Theo."

Theo's POV:

I can't believe what an idiot I'm being, I'm finding any opportunity to argue with the girl I love. I didn't let her explain she's right, and if I did I would've known that nothing happened, and they weren't alone. "I am so sorry Shai, honestly, I can't even begin to express my apology." She looks down, and for a minute I think she's angry until our eyes meet, she's not okay, but she's not mad. I don't understand. "It's fine, we should talk more maybe, but Theo, why won't you tell me where you were yesterday?" Thousands of different thoughts run through my mind, different lies I could tell her. I can't tell her the truth, it's a surprise. "I went on a walk in the morning, along the cliffs, then I went to the gym... Then I went to the shopping centre, I was going to buy a few new outfits, but nothing really jumped out at me. I'm sorry for not telling you, I was just mad about Miles. I was being a jerk"

Shai's POV:

Theo still seems shifty but I have no right to call him a liar. I smile, and pull him closer to me. I think this is the start of our relationship progressing, we know now to communicate with each other, and not jump to conclusions. "Come round in an hour, and we can hang out or something" I whisper, feeling weaker in his arms. I've missed him, and it's been a day and I've missed him. "Why in an hour?" He asks curiously, and I don't really have a reason, I think I just want some time to shower and think about how lucky I am to have Theo James as my boyfriend. "Just need to get ready and whatnot" I say as I feel my face blush. He kisses my forehead and smiles his gorgeous smile, "laters baby" he winks and makes my heart melt. I love this side of Theo, and I couldn't be happier we sorted things out.
