Mr & Mrs Fake

Chapter 13

Jade

Hours after the wedding, after countless dances and scripted conversations, Theo and I head back to his apartment. "Well Mrs.Choi, how are we feeling?" asks Theo. I sigh and kick off my heels, "I need a full glass of wine and a foot rub. Then we'll see. Can you unzip me?" I turn and around. "Yeah of course," I hear Theo's footsteps behind me.

As he undos the buttons, his fingers constantly graze my neck and back. My breath hitches as his fingers reach the small of my back. I silently wish he would keep going and deflate in disappointment as he clears his throat and steps back. "All done," he says coarsely. "Thank you. I'll uh- go take a shower," I say quietly and go into the bathroom. I curse silently and turn on the shower.

I was fully prepared to bust it open for him right in his living room. I need to get a grip. I've only known this man for what, two, three months? Don't not fall for this man. I repeat the mantra to myself as I finish my shower. I step out into the bedroom and smile when I see my things laid out on the bed. Doing thoughtful things like this, makes this even harder. "Theo?" I call out walking into the living room. "I'm in here," I hear his voice echo from the kitchen.

"What are you making?" I ask. "Just popcorn. The last episode of This Is Us airing in about fifteen minutes. Do you want to join me?" He asks. I nod, "I love that show. It always makes me cry but it's my comfort show." "There's a bottle of red wine in the fridge. You can get the tv up and running and I'll finish up here." " Sounds good to me," I sit down on the couch and turn on the television.

"Theo hurry up! It's starting," I call out to him. He walks in with a big bowl of popcorn and various other snacks. "I'm here I'm here," he passes me a glass of wine and sits down beside me. "What are you doing?" I ask, slightly alarmed when he grabs my foot. "You said could use a foot rub," he shrugs and begins rubbing my feet. I stifle a moan as his thumbs apply pressure to my aching feet. "You have magical hands," I compliment, sipping my wine. Theo releases a hearty laugh. "I'm glad you think so," he switched feet.

"Do you want to watch enchanted?" I ask after the show ends. "Ooh that's a good one. Let's watch it," he puts on the movie. "Just a brief warning. I know every song to this movie. So be prepared to hear loud, off key singing." "I might just join you. So be prepare to hear even louder, more off key singing."

"This is my absolute favorite scene. The way he said he didn't dance or sing but he's doing both with her. Makes me cry every time," I sniffle as Giselle and Robert begin dancing on screen. Theo rises to his feet and holds his hand out to me, "I know a few moves. Come on," he helps me up and begins twirling me to the song. "You're making me blush," I laugh. I look up at him and our eyes connect. "You're so beautiful," he murmurs, holding me closer.

My body aches with the longing to kiss him. I damn near break into tears as he closes the space between our lips. My eyes flutter closed with satisfaction as he deepens the kiss. I almost groan in disdain when he breaks the kiss. "I've been waiting to do that for a while." He tucks a stray piece of hair behind my ear and caresses my cheek. "I've been waiting for you to do that," I whisper. "Come on. You should get some rest. You can take the bedroom, I'll take the couch." Theo offers. I shake my head, "No. I don't want to be in there by myself."

"Don't tell me you're scared," Theo laughs. I raise my chin indignantly and cross my arms. "No I'm not scared! I just want you to come with me." "That's all you had to say. Come on." He takes ahold of my hand and leads me into the bedroom.
