My weekend started off very nicely. It had been peaceful, I slept in, I ate breakfast at a cafe nearby, I went on a walk around campus since this place is huge, and I completed all my homework that I was given to for the weekend. And now, I was in the library continuing where I left off, since last time I was interrupted.
This morning may sound boring to you, but it's what I like.
I was reading my book, at Theo's spot, and I knew he wasn't going to come because he was probably out with Victoria or with The Big 5 as a whole. I heard someone sit next to the bean bag next to mine, please tell me it's someone else.
"How are you not bored of that book yet?" he spoke and I sighed and I kept quiet, ignoring his presence.
"Oh wait," I put the book down and I look around the area, "You're talking to me?" I play clueless. "I thought we were just ignoring each other, you know, since we don't want to be seen together."
He rolled his eyes, "You know my reason for that Athena." he said, and for some reason, my name always sounded so good coming out of his mouth.
"What are you even doing here?" I changed the topic after the point he made. "Aren't you supposed to be with your friends or something?"
"Well, I knew I was going to find you here, so I came to see you," he looked at me and I was instantly taken away by his words and the look in his eyes.
I coughed, "What?"
"You heard me," he said and then I rolled my eyes. "So, do you really have no plans whatsoever this weekend ?" he asked.
I raised an eyebrow, "How do you know I don't have any plans for this weekend?"
"I was listening in on the conversation between you and Theo yesterday," he said, and my eyes widened.
"Okay so what does me not having any plans have to do with you?" I folded my arms across my chest.
"Come to my place for the weekend," he said and I choked and started coughing which amused him I'm guessing.
"What?" I said and he smirked a bit.
"You heard me, spend the rest of my weekend at my place," he said. "I also happen to not have any plans and I don't mind spending my time with you."
What? Something is definitely wrong with Theo, he was ignoring me after what happened between us, and now he wants to spend the weekend with me. What game is he playing with me exactly?
"So, should we go now?" he said, standing up.
"What will you do when people see us together?" I asked
Theo tilted his head, that ever-present smirk playing on his lips. "Let them see," he said casually, as though the thought hadn't crossed his mind before. "Do you really think I care what people think?"
