Unconditional Love

«Chapter 2»

I awake to the sounds of yelling. I open the hotel door and see Theo pacing back and forth in the hall yell at someone on the phone. It's a good thing it's just me and him on this floor.

" Go off with that other guy and cheat on him for all I care! No! Don't even start that! It's over Ruth!"

He immediately hangs up the phone and looks at me. I look back at him with confusion on my face.

"Shai can I come in?" He manages to mumble out.

"Sure." I open the door a little wider so he can come in. He takes a seat on one of the bar stools and sighs. I go to the fridge and grab a beer for Theo because I can tell he needs one and a water for me.

"Thanks, I'm sorry about waking you up."

"No, no it's fine, I can tell you need someone to talk to and some comfort."

"Yea your probably right."

"So what happened?" I already know but I'm going to ask so he can talk to someone about it.

"Ruth cheated on me" he takes a sip of his beer as he tells me this.

"What!" That's horrible Theo! I'm sorry. Are you guys still together?" I try to hide the giddy inside me because I have always had feelings inside for Theo. I want Theo to be mine and have a future together. A good future.

"No." He is halfway done with his beer now.

I walk cover to him to give him a hug. He hugs me back and we stay there for a long time. We are comfortable going to each other about our problems because we are best friends.

"Can I stay with you tonight?" He breaks the silence

"Of course." I say back

"Thank you shai." He mumbles

"For what? Letting you stay here? Theo you know you can come over any ti-" "Well for that too but mostly for always being there for me and being my best friend." He manages to get out. I give him another big hug. After about five minutes of emotional talk we decide to watch a movie since he was staying here tonight.

"I'll be right back, I'm gonna go and get something comfortable on." He says as he gets up.

Okay, ill get some snacks while you do that. "Okay." And with that he walks out the door. I get up and poor some pretzels into a bowl while popping some popcorn in the microwave. I grab two beers and make my way to the couch. I go to my room and grab a large soft and fluffy white blanket for me and Theo to put on top of us. I go back to the living room and see Theo shirtless and in sweat plants. He glances at me and turns around.

"What movie are we going to watch?" I ask trying to hide myself from staring.

"That is a surprise" he says with a smirk on his face. Thank god he didn't catch me staring at him.

"Ugh fine, ill go and change while you put the disk in so I won't see." I say

"Good idea, love" he says with a mischievous grin on his face.

I walk back to my room trying to act natural. Like what he just said didn't effect me. Once I get into my room I start squealing into my pillow like a 12 year old.

"Shai, is everything okay?" Theo shouts, from the living room. I'm guessing he heard me squeal. "Yea every thing is okay" I say grinning from ear to ear.
