Chasing Shadows //Theo James//

C H A P T E R 4

~B L A K E~

The movie is almost over. It's at the scene where Augustus tells Hazel about is cancer. I am already crying and I think Theo notices. His hand closet to me was resting on his stomach and his other hand was prpped behind his head. He looks over at me and my hands are laying on my stomach and I am trying to hold back the rest of my tears. I am not sobbing but a fe tears have made their way to my face. Theo moves his hand loosley frm his stomach and lightly touches me on my shoudlr and I turn my head to face him. I automattically wipe my tears away. He has concern in his eyes. "You okay?" He asks.

"Yeah." I say and laugh lightly. The smile on my face did not help and a few more tears came. Theo laughed lightly and pulled me closer to him to where my head is on his chest. I smile but i am still nervous. He carresses my shoulder lightly.

--TIME PASSES--

The movie just ended and all of a sudden Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort appear in front of the screen. Everyone starts to freak out and scream except for me and Theo. I am a huge fan of Shai and Ansel but I don't freak out about them. The crowd settles down a bit and sits back down and I geta clear view of Shai and Ansel. THey both have microphones. Me and tHeo are sitting up and his arm is around my shoulders and my head is resting on his shoudler.

"Hey everybody!" Shai says, excitement in her voice.

"As you all probably know, we are here in Chicago filming our new movie Allegiant Part 1," Ansel says, making the crowd erupt in cheers. Once the crowd calms down, Ansel contiues talking. "And we heard about this event so we thought we woulcome come by and visit."

--TIME PASSES--

Ansel and Shai are done witht their visit. THey took fan questions from the audience and now they are leaving. The media is here and are swarming them with cameras. Me and Theo are in the back so they really can't see us. Shai and Ansel and the reprters have already tun the corner so they are out of sight. Theo removes his arm from my shoudlers and I raise my head up and look at him. He grabs my hand and we stand up and he picks up the blanket. "The cameras are out of sight so we can make it to the car safe." He says and we walk to his car, hand in hand.

When we get to his car, he opens the door for me and I get in. Then, he gets in the car on the driver's side and starts the car and we drive off. I decide to make small talk with him since I don't know that much about him. "So, since I let you know who the real me was, then who is the real you?" I ask. He smiles.

"Well, what do you want to know?" He asks, smirking.

"Um," I say while thinking. "What's your favorite color?" I ask and smile. He laughs a little then glances at me.

"Blue." He says.

I continue to ask him questions and he answers them. We laugh and smile endlessly. We finally pull into my apartment building's parking lot and Theo insists on walking me up to my apartment. He gets out of the car and opens the door for me. I get out of the car and he follows me inside the apartment building. He catches up to me and holds the door open for me and I smile at him. I click the elevator button and we both step into the elevator. The doors shut and we just stand there, awakwardly. Maybe we took it too fast to "cuddle" with each other. The doors open and we step out and start walking down the hall. We get to the end of the hall and we are standing in front of my apartment door. Theo stands n front of me. He puts his hands in his pockets.

"Listen, Blake, I had a great time tonight." He says. I smile and put my head down and blush then raise my head back up.

"Yeah, me too. I got to see one of my favorite book to movie adaptations. Thank you." I say.

"Oh, no need to thank me. I shoudl be thanking you for agreeing to with me." I smile even more. Maybe Theo isn't such a bad guy, which I never thought he was. He clearly likes me and I like him too. Not because he's actor, anymore, but because of who he is. I have gotten to see who the real Theo James is a little bit and I woudl like to know more. That's when I make the bold move.

"Hey, Theo. How about we go on a coffee date?" I ask, smirking. He smiles.

"Blake, is this your way of asking me out ona nother date?" He asks, teasing.

"Maybe." I say.

"Well, then. I would love to. How about tomorrow?"

"That would be lovely. How about on my lunch break? One o' clock?"

"That sounds perfect. I'll pick you up from work." I smile.

"Okay."

"Okay." My eyes widen and my smile grows even bigger.

"I see what you did there!" I say, my inner fangirl showing. He laughs and I laugh too.

"Well, I better go to bed. It's getting pretty ate and I have to be up at six so I guess until tomorrow." I say and hold my hand out for a hand shake.

"Until tomorrow." He confirms and shakes my hand. We have dead eye contact. I get lost in his deep, dark, brown eyes. I see my reflection in them, I am so focused on them. We just stare at each other and the hand shake slows down and we let go of each other's hands but never break eye contact. I finally break it and clear my throat and look at my door. I pull my keys out of my shoe and ulock my door and open it. I walk in and shut the door quietly.

Tonight. Toight was a night that I will never forget.
