Holiday With My Neighbour | ✓

41. It's Official

Theo's POV

After chilling with Dom for a bit, I head to my room, lay in my bed and think about my day with Lorena. As much as I hate shopping, I genuinely had fun because of her. 

An hour later, I hear a gentle knock on my door. I look up and see Lorena stepping in with a tense look on her face. 

"Hey, I hope you don't mind." She says as she closes the door behind her.

I sit up. "It's alright, what's up?" I ask with concern.

"Can I rant to you for a bit? You seem to get me."

"Yeah, go ahead."

Standing at the foot of my bed, she takes a deep breath. "So, my parents are giving me the silent treatment."

I look at her, confused. "Why?"

"I think Dom told them I tried to break him and Emilia up, so they're mad at me." 

"What the fuck?" I say with a slight laugh. What a bitch move from Dom.

"Yeah, I know. No wonder they hate me. He probably tells them all sorts." She rolls her eyes.

"Just tell them he's wrong."

"I would if they would acknowledge me. I didn't even know I was getting silent treatment until I tried to talk to them, and they ignored me."

"That doesn't achieve anything."

"Exactly! It's so stupid. I don't know why they do this." She shakes her head in frustration.

"It's childish. I'm sorry you're going through that."

"Don't be sorry." She sighs out of annoyance. 

"Try not to stress about it. They'll come through soon enough." I reassure her.

 "Ugh! it's just- I'm just so annoyed." Her eyes look like they're burning as they begin to water. 

I can't sit still any longer. 

I get up from my bed and approach her. I place a hand on her lower back and gently draw her closer as my other hand rests on her head. She wraps her arms around me, setting her head on my chest. For a tall girl, she looks so small against me.

She holds on for a while before slowly pulling away. As I look down at her, I feel a sudden urge I can't ignore. 

I need more of her. 

As my eyes flicker to her lips, my hand slides down to the back of her neck as I connect my lips with hers. What started as a slow kiss quickly turns deep as her hands move to my head and pull me down. 

In the heat of the moment, I step backwards, feeling the bed. I turn with her, placing her down on the bed as I hover over her, our lips still moving together, tasing each other.

She breaks the kiss, catching her breath. "The door isn't locked, you know."

"So?" I say with a smirk as I reclaim her lips with urgency, continuing the kiss. 

Eventually, we pull away. I step off the bed while Lorena sits up with a surprised look on her face. "Woah, I did not expect that."

I chuckled softly. "Me neither."

"Well, thank you, I really needed that." She stands up.

"If you ever need more, you know where to come."

"I'll keep that in mind. I should get going." She awkwardly says as she begins to walk towards the door.

I break into laughter at the awkward energy.
