I woke up to the sound of a knock. Shit. I check the time. 6pm. "Come in!" I say in a haste as I go to the bathroom to brush my hair before dinner. "Hello there sleepyhead." A deep voice says from the doorframe. I freeze and check to see who it was. Theodore. I was so distracted I forgot to ask who it was. "What do you want?" I ask.

"Can't your borther's best friend visit your dorm?" He says. I roll my eyes and start brushing my hair again. "Its almost dinner time, Arabella."
He says as he now leans in the bathroom doorframe. "We on a first name basis? since when?" I ask. "Since always?" he says in response.

I put my hair in a ponytail and quickly put on some lip liner. "Mind if I escort you to the great hall? Mattheo asked me to." I frown as he said that. "As if, I can walk myself. I'm not a damsel in distress like all those stupid girls that are head over heels for you." I say as I push my way through the bathroom door, past him.

"Come on bella it's no big deal." He says holding his arm out for me. "It's a slytherin celebration diner after all." I pause as he says that. Fuck. "That's today?!" I say, he nods. I quickly grab a dress from my closet and go into the bathroom to change, put my hair loose and fix my makeup a little better. "Was that necessary?" he says teasingly.

"Ofcourse it was, im a Riddle." I say as I grab my purse. Theodore offers his arm yet again. "well?" he asks, I grab his arm and tie mine around it. He escorts me to the great hall, it was filled with green. I walk in with Theodore by my side, I spot Tris and Mattheo. "Hold up, when did this happen?" I ask confused. "He apologised, im giving him another chance." Tris says with a smile. I frown a bit but try to hide it. "Im happy for you."

Just then Lorenzo and Venessa walk in. "And them? Merlin's I missed a lot I see." I say. "Everyone needs an escort, it doesnt mean they are together. You are holding Theo's arm yet you two aren't together, are you?" Tris says. I realise that I was still holding his arm when she said that, my face forms a blush.

"True." I say trying to hide it. Venessa and Lorenzo walk over to us. "Heyy, looking gooddd!" She says excitedly. "What's got you all excited?" Tris asks. I look over to Venessa who was clearly blushing, she then looks at Lorenzo who had already walked over to the drinks. "Enzo and I.. we kinda got together, i guess?" She says bluntly. I frown. "Got together? So you're dating?" I ask, She shakes her head. "Its... complicated." She says before Enzo returned with drinks for us all.

"Thanks Berkshire." I say, He nods. I let my arm slip out of Theodore's ass I grab my drink from Enzo. Not even 10 seconds after I feel a hand around my waist, Theodore's. Whats got him all possessive? I ask to myself. I decide to no longer ignore the thoughts and pull him aside to talk. "Guys? we'll be right back." I say to the rest of the group.

As we walk towards the door of the great hall we meet Pansy, Blaise, Draco and Astoria. We give smiles and a few compliments before walking further.

When we are finally alone I focus my eyes on Theodore. "Why are you being so possessive?" I say before he could even meet my gaze. "Is that why you wanted to speak to me?" He asks. "Answer my question." I say annoyed. "Because I feel like it." He says, his eyes saying something totally different.

"Why are you blushing every time I touch you." He says and I frown. "I don't blush!" I say defensively. He chuckles and cups my face, rubbing his thumb over my cheek. "Yet you're blushing again." I slap his hand away and look at him annoyed.

"Just admit that you love me Cara mia, it's obvious." He says. "Not like this I won't, your being so cocky that I could literally choke on your ego." As I say that I want to walk back into the great hall but he grabs my wrist.

"Wait." He says. "Look, im sorry okay." I frown. "Sorry for what?" He looks at me with those eyes he always uses on his sidechicks. "Don't look at my with those eyes." I say. "What eyes?" He asks, I give him a nudge and he chuckles. "Im sorry for being cocky, I just wanna know if you feel the same way I feel for you." I pause as he says that. "The same way..? Wait, you're in love with me?" I just now realise it.

He nods silently. "Oh.." I exclaim in realisation. I was so stupidly blind.. "Give me some time to think.. Is that okay?" I say. I wasn't ready to decide wether I love him or not. He nods and lets go of my wrist. I walk back into the great hall and try to think about something else but I just simply couldn't.
