Sheo's Story

Chapter Forty-Five

Shai's POV:

Just finished a long day filming, Ansel's been getting so stressed with me because I just can't seem to get the scene's right, although they're done now. It doesn't matter anymore. I love staying in hotels, the corridors make me want to run as fast as I can like when I was younger. I always feel so fast in a hotel. Opening the door to my room and I see someone on my sofa, my initial reaction was so scream until I realised it was Theo, thank God. He gets up swiftly and makes his way over to me slightly laughing from my reaction. He goes to hug me and I immediately relax in his arms, I'm still mad at him but right now I just need him to hold. "I've missed you" he mumbles. I've missed his voice, it's not the same on the phone, in person it's more clear, it's deeper, it's real. I start to walk pushing us both to the sofa, and I curl up in his lap. "I'm still mad" I whisper back, and his hold tightens, as if he doesn't want to lose me, almost metaphorically. I wanted to say it as gently as possible to also let him know I am so happy he's here with me. "I know, we can talk about it later, just relax now." He just understands me on so many levels, but surely then he'd understand how distant he was since I've been away. Something must be going on but it hasn't been until now that I don't believe it was an affair.

We've just finished dinner, and I think now is the opportune time to talk. We're sitting opposite each other on a longish table, making it feel official like a meeting almost. "Let's talk then" I begin, hoping he understands what I mean and just gives me a justifiable explanation but he doesn't he just stares at me blankly, like a robot. He's gone again. "Theo, I deserve an explanation, I thought you were cheating on me..." And then his face changes, from expressionless to hurt. His eyes suddenly wider, and his mouth fallen into a frown. I can't work out if it's guilt and the silence is too loud. "No," he says finally looking up, "I would never, ever, do that to you Shai" and then I realise why he looked so sad, I should have trusted him not to cheat. In a more soft tone I start to talk again "then what was it?" He takes a deep breath and looks around, I wish I knew what he was thinking. "I was just busy, sorting things out with my agent, arranging things with my family, booking the hotel, lots of stuff. I know none of it is more important than you, I love you, I just wasn't thinking. It won't happen again" and then the worst pain pulls in my stomach, he looks scared of me. Like he's a small child explaining himself to his mother, or a school teacher, with that I decide to leave it, and put our dishes in the sink.

Theo's POV:

Damn. Shai's so questioning. She can not find out what I was doing. She just can't, not yet. 

A/N: I do have a plan for this story but I have a question. Do you think this story should have an official end at some point, or do you think it should just go on forever and never have an official end?
