Sheo's Story

Chapter Thirty-Five

Shai's POV:

We need to leave the hotel tomorrow! Theo's just about packed and said I can live with him until we see my family, then I'm filming 'The Fault in our Stars' so I'll be on the move again. Even though I am so excited to start filming, and it's an amazing opportunity to show the world young people dealing with cancer, I know I'm going to miss Theo so much. We've decided to move our stuff into Theo's today, it's about half an hour from here, so we don't want to be rushing tomorrow as we may need two trips. Theo has so much useless stuff he carries around with him! It's 9:43 and we agreed to meet in the hallway at 10, that's just enough time to make some toast and brush my teeth.

I open my door and Theo's dragging a massive suitcase out of his room, I can't help but laugh at him as I have my little travel suitcase with all my belongings. He catches my eye and lets go of the suitcase as he walks towards me. He hold my waist and gives me a quick kiss on my lips, "hi" he whispers and I hug him tightly. Just one word from him can make me fall for him all over again. "Hi" I reply, not having anything original to say. "Let's go somewhere today," he says looking down at me, "after we've dropped our stuff at mine I'll take you out." I nod and I'm already so excited. "Let's go" I say grabbing the suitcase he left stranded, I pull both mine and one of Theo's suitcases behind me quickly going through the checklist in my head. I do have everything.

As we drive Theo rests his hand just above my knee and I place my hand on top, we're sitting in a comfortable silence, and I can just watch him drive. I love watching him drive, his jaw tenses a little and his eyes are fixed ahead of him. He never used to tense his jaw but I think he's still getting over the accident a little, I like it though. It outlines his face and makes him even more beautiful. "What are you looking at?" He says smirking, interrupting my thoughts. "You" I say matter-of-factly and grin. He doesn't reply but I see his smirk turn into a smile.

We get to Theo's and his home is so nice and modern. There's a black and white theme running throughout the place and everything is clean and shiny, I didn't expect this from Theo. "I so clean" I blurt out, and he laughs. "Shai, I've not been here for 6 months, of course it's clean" and then I laugh too, I knew Theo wasn't a tidy person, I remembered his hotel room and how long it took to pack away. "Where shall I put my case?" I say not wanting to put it anywhere as it will look untidy. "In my room, it's the second door to the left" and I follow his directions. Just before I open the door I smile like a teenager, I'm about to go into Theo James' bedroom. I walk in and instantly smile again. You can almost learn so much about Theo just from his room, it's got bits from his childhood, like a 'The Big Bang Theory' poster framed on the wall, and photo's in framed dotted around of him and friends, and there's one of him and his band. I forgot Theo was in a band, and how heavenly his voice was. I leave my bag in a corner and slowly walk around his room, taking it all in. He has an old-fashioned hat on top of a chest of drawers, it's not Theo's style at all. I'll ask him about that later. His bed sheets are navy blue, and resting on one of his pillows is a tattered teddy bear. I sit on the edge of the bed and pick it up gently, to look at it. After a few minutes I see someone standing at the doorway which make me jump, of course it's only Theo but I'm embarrassed that I was looking at his stuff. "So you found Splooge then" he says with a giggle. I love his giggle. "Splooge?" I question, assuming it the name of the bear. "Yeah, I was three, it was about the only word I could actually say" he laughs, and I do too. "It's hardly a word Theo."

Theo's POV:

We've just finished at mine and I'm driving again, I quickly glance at the time and it's already 12 o'clock. I didn't realise we were at mine for an hour and a half, oh well. I can feel Shai staring at me whilst I drive, it's quite off putting and I don't really know why she does it. It's sweet though and a small part of me loves it. I haven't told her where we're going yet but I'm quite excited.

We get out of the car and Shai's face it lit up, I've brought her to a small, quiet beach. There's only one family on it as we arrive and the weather's just perfect. The waves are calm and the sea is amazingly clear here. Sometimes if you look carefully you might see a few fish swimming out to the depts of the sea. I thought this would be perfect for Shai as she loves nature and this beach is so cared for. She grabs my hand and jumps up and down like a four year old, "come on lets paddle in the sea!" she says pulling my hand. I love seeing Shai like this, so carefree. We roll our jeans up and walk along the edge of the sea picking up shells as we go. Shai points out every single fish she sees and I smile along with her. We walk hand in hand and find a spot to sit.

After about an hour or so I start placing the shells we collected around Shai whilst she's laying down. She keeps giggling when I accidentally brush her with my knuckles or something. I could stay here forever with her.
