Desperate Measures - Theo James

Ro

ROSALIE

You guys should've seen Theo's face when i got up and started to put my coat on,his jaw looked like a rollercoaster on the way down from the top.Of course i accepted his deal. Why wouldn't I?

This means that i can finally get ahead in my column,no matter how hard i tried my news was like a brick wall.Plain and predictable and used everywhere;I hope Theo can be the glass window and shatter some excitement onto the scene. Talking about excitement I have to break the news to lexi.

Lexi has been there since kindergarten so there is no point trying to deceive her with this she will use her best friend senses until I basically have to spill my guts.She literally is my soul sister and i know she won't judge me for doing this,she will agree that i'm working smarter not harder. I love her endlessly so once this lift hits our floor,and the minute my leather boot walks through the front door,Lexi will know and Theo cannot stop me.

" Ahh Ro thank fuck you are home i've been waiting to watch sex and the city all day and now i can relax with my pasta and invest forty minutes into Carrie Bradshaw and her poor decisions in men!" I felt bad braking it to her now because her show will probably never air today but it has to be done.Lexi was like a sponge,she soaks up all you have to say then releases her opinion like a tidal wave.She will support me,just not instantly ,i can feel my insides burning.

" Speaking about men...." She slurps her pasta carbonara and stops like a deer in headlights.
" erm.." SLURP! Shes digested her mouthful and looked concerned. " what do you mean erm?"She was looking at me with a slight glint in her eyes,the hope that  her best friend had finally met a man that meets both of our standards but still highly puzzled on how.
" Hmm.. i have a tingle in my core,who is he?And how did you meet?."

My eyes widen and then fall ready to finally confess.
" Okay so his name is Theo James and I met him at a cafe,i was working,he was there,he held my hand,i got in his car with Miles Teller,i went to his place,it was spectacular,fast forward,we went on a date.."
i'm rambling on so much that i didn't realise that Lexi got up from where she was sat and repositioned herself in front of me with her hands on my shoulders.
"Whoah steady cowgirl......DID YOU JUST FUCKING SAY THEO JAMES?!" Her volume control knob was at its limit. " Err Yes.." I'm staring directly into her eyes blankly.

"THE THEO JAMES!!!." Lexi began to shake me vigorously at this comment. " The one and only.." I reply shyly. " UNDERWORLD AWAKENING THEO JAMES." She begins running around  our apartment,jumping up and down when she can.
" You bet!" I say semi excited.
" HOW THE FUCK DID THAT HAPPEN THEN!!"
I shake my head and head over to the kitchen to get us both a glass of wine.

Instead of Sex in the city we gossiped about how Theo and I met and the agreement we had ,which earned me a slight disappointed sigh from lexi as she had to get over the fact that the relationship was false.However, on the positive side she was excited that i had got the opportunity to finally spice up my column for  Vogue. Not only are we best friends but we are also colleagues at work,lexi knows how hard it is for me to produce material.
"Do you want help moving some of your stuff to his?Also did you say Miles teller?"

"You must be shitting me thats his front door!" I laugh as i see lexi's eyes examine Theo's grand entrance;i reach out and knock as loudly as i can.Surprisingly I actually brought a lot of my stuff with me to Theo's apartment including some clothes and a suitcase which he texted me and described it as 'essential'. The gateway opens and there he is standing with a warm grin on his face a tad bit sweaty,no wonder they picked him to play in an action movie his abbs were practically waving at us.
