Sheo's Story

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Theo's POV:
"Wake up Shai, you're nan's downstairs" she turns and puts her arm over her face, and falls back to sleep. "Shai come on, wake up" I say more sternly now trying to wake her. I don't want to make a bad first impression with her nan. I kiss below her ear and whisper telling her to wake up again. She fidgets a little bit then stretches out on to me. "Hey," she whispers back and leans on her elbows, "she's here already?" I look over the the clock, "it's 11 Shai, we've slept in." She gasps and leans up, it's very unlike Shai to sleep in at all, but we did have a late night last night. She walks to the bedroom door and calls down to her nan telling her that we'll be down shortly. I crawl out of bed and go to the bathroom, giving Shai some space to get ready and myself.
We go down the stairs hand in hand and her nan's waiting in the living room, her eyes light up when she sees Shai. You can tell that she's full of love for her granddaughter, nothing but love and admiration. Shai releases my hand and runs towards her nan, kissing her on the cheek. I love seeing Shai around her family, they all care so much about everybody, and obviously have all missed Shai so much.

We've arrived at Shai's old house, now her nan's new house and there are boxes everywhere. All packed, and ready to be unpacked. "Where shall we start?" Shai asks and her nan looks around for a bit, overwhelmed by the house. "Would you start with the boxes in the kitchen dears?" She says to me and Shai. Shai nods and pulls my hand into the kitchen. Although everything is empty the wallpaper, paint and decorations are all Shai, they resemble Shai so much. We begin to unpack boxes putting things away in draws and cupboards occasionally finding some odd things causing us to giggle. We've been unpacking the house slowly but surely for almost the whole day, and we've had many laughs along the way, finding old photographs, drawing and things Shai and her brother made when they were little.
-
"It's been a long day" Shai yawns into my shoulder. I wrap my arm around her pulling her close. "It's only 7 o'clock" I say as sweetly as possible. I love the stage of the relationship we're out, I feel we can do whatever we want but still act like teenagers every now again because we are young and still in the fun stages. I pull her in closer and kiss her, I love her so much.

Shai's POV:
I wake up in Theo's arm shattered, partially from all the unpacking yesterday. I can't help but feel disappointed we're leaving tomorrow. I'll be at Theo's for a week and then I'm off to film. I'm going to be leaving the people I love the most soon and for some odd reason I just want to cry. I place my head on Theo's chest and hug him tightly, I'm going to take in every minute I have with him before I go, and look forward to getting back and going to England! I'm so excited!
I haven't spoken to Miles in a very long time, I was so mad at him. I know I have to message him sooner or later but I can't figure when. I was going to message him today but I just want today to go well.
-
Saying goodbye to my family was the hardest thing I've had to do in a while. I've missed them and I haven't stayed for long enough at all. That reminds me to ask Theo how long we'll be in England for, London is such a beautiful place and I'd love to explore. Theo's driving face is stern so I decide to wait until later.
-
I must've fallen sleep when passing over a speed bump jolts me awake. "Almost home honey" Theo says squeezing my knee. "Honey?" I question and laugh, he joins in. "How long are we in London for?" He glances at me and looks back at the road, "how long do you want to?" I never thought about that, how long do I want to? "How about 2 weeks? Or would you rather longer?" He laughs, "no 2 weeks is fine"
