weeks of last minute things including farm animals, and backyard renovations had finally come to a close and now was the time for the house tour, with vogue.

this wasn't just any ole' house tour, it was the house tour. every celebrity who was anybody did the 73 questions with vogue which included walking through their respected homes giving off a tour, while answering 73 interview questions.

i had put it off for years, but now that id moved into a brand new home and had no real plans, there was no factual reason to hold it off.

theo sat on the couch as i walked out of the bedroom in jeans and a cropped top. "is this too casual? i want to give me but not give "i don't care that i'm doing this interview."" i said to him.

he paused the current 73 questions with vogue featuring zendaya that he played on the television, he only put it on to give me a firm idea of what to expect. theo let out a hum as he observed my outfit, "he looked at me intently, taking me in from head to toe. "no, you look great. you've got that perfect balance between casual and effortless chic going on." he said with a smile before he patted the seat next to him on the couch, gesturing for me to sit. "come here," he said.

"zendaya? good pick." i commented as i took a seat next to him, making sure to not keep any distance between the two of us.

theo chuckled at my comment and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer against him. the contact sent a small shiver through me, and i felt a wave of comfort wash over me. his touch was like a reassuring anchor, grounding me.

"figured it would help you get an idea of how it goes," he said, referring to the interview playing on the tv.

we sat there in a comfortable silence as we watched the ongoing interview. my head resting against his shoulder as he absentmindedly ran his fingertips gently over my bare skin that was exposed by my cropped top, and i found myself leaning more into his touch, craving it.

as the interview continued to play, i couldn't help but let out a small sigh of contentment. being this close to theo was like a soothing balm for my frayed nerves. his presence alone made me feel more at ease, and i found myself snuggling closer to him unconsciously.

i glanced up at him, noticing the way his gaze was focused on the tv, yet he still hadn't stopped tracing those soft patterns on my skin.

the peaceful moment was suddenly interrupted by three sharp knocks on the front door. my head lifted from theo's shoulder, i untangled myself from his embrace reluctantly. "that should be them." i said, pushing myself off the couch and looking around for anything out of place.

theo turned off the tv and looked at me with raised eyebrows. "you ready?"

i took a deep breath, my nerves instantly starting to get to me. i wasn't usually one to get flustered, but this was a big deal.

i looked back at him and nodded, plastering on a confident smile. "as ready as i'll ever be." i shrugged.

i took another deep breath before opening the front door, ready to greet the crew. the moment i swung the door open, i was met with a swarm of people pushing their way inside, cameras and equipment in hand.

the interviewer, michael, flashed a bright smile as he stepped forward. "kami, we're ready to start." he said, holding up a small microphone. his words indicated that the camera was already rolling.
