Soulmates: Our Love

| chapter 14 |

"It's my private life and I want it kept private!"

Theo's POV~

Ansel, Miles, Keiynan, and I all went to a local bar called, 24 Hours. Miles has calmed down a bit, but I know he was only mad because he doesn't like Shailene upset. I would do the same thing if it were the other way around.

But since my brothers aren't here, these guys are the closet thing I got. We all usually end up having a fun time, getting a wee bit tipsy and eating hot wings.

Man I love me some hot wings.

"So then Zoé walks in and I was already very horny, so I legit jumped out of bed and guess what?" Miles chuckles to himself, this was his sixth beer.

"I don't think I want to know." Keiynan laughs and takes a hot wing.

"I tripped over the blankets and smacked my face into the bowl of whipped cream!" He laughs hilariously, I look at him crazy.

Ansel furrows his eyebrows in confusion, "Why was there a bowl of whipped cream?"

"Oh my dear Ansel, we had plans for that night before I had murdered my own face." Miles wiggles his eyebrows and I almost threw up.

Ansel widened his eyes and pretended like he never heard that. I laughed and finally had gotten my mind off of Shailene until the bartender turned the channel to E.T Entertainment.

Ansel and Keiynan raised their eyebrows when Shai's face came on the television.

"Reporters had gotten a glimpse of the known celebrity, Shailene Woodley crying outside of Chicago Airport. Witnesses say that she was having a phone call with someone, telling the person about issues in her certain relationship with her handsome co-star Theo James." The T.V shows a small clip of Shailene from afar talking to someone on the phone.

Keiynan looks at me and asks, "Issues? Damn, the media just loves to get into everyone's business nowadays."

"Of course, bloody hell!" I groan and smack myself in the face.

The scene switches to a random man with a camera in his hand talking to the star of E.T Entertainment.

"Yeah I was near here and I heard about the wedding being called off? The rest of our team went to LAX Airport to ask the two themselves and only got an eye roll of Theo James." The man smirks, obviously happy with his stupid rumors.

This is just great.

I clench my fist and tap my fingers against the counter. I honestly just want to scream in frustration and keep wishing I was never an actor in the first place.

"Uh, bartender? I think our buddy is going to need another beer or possibly five?" Ansel looks at my angry facial expression.

"Add some hot wings as well, it's going to be a long night." Keiynan suggests, I'm glad I got these guys by my side.

Shailene's POV~

"And so I enter the bedroom only to watch Miles trip over the bed sheets and face plant into the bowl of whipped cream." Zoé giggles and sips some of her red wine.

I laugh, I'm in a fairly well mood spending time with Zoé. She understands my dilemma and wants to help out anyway she could. I asked if she could watch Luna tomorrow since Theo and I will be speaking to Kailie.

Kailie had finally responded by about an hour ago, agreeing to meet me at an Italian Bistro. Since Theo knows about the whole thing, I decided to have him accompany me; only if he wants too.

I've finally come to understand why it was so important to tell Theo about this whole mess and why I had hurt him by not informing him. His family was in danger and he couldn't do anything about it since I never told him. He's very protective and that had to make him feel worse by not doing anything about it.

A part of me blames myself, yet the other tells me everyone makes mistakes. This will help me in the long run and I will learn from it. Hopefully Theo can forgive me and won't call off the wedding. I wouldn't be able to live without Theo.

Dramatic, I know but he means the world to me. I'm in love with my best friend and he is the father of my child. I want Luna to grow up with a joyful and loving family, not divorced parents.

It was around 7:50 PM that Luna began to get fussy. I realized it was close to her bedtime and the guys still haven't returned from their night out. Zoé said she will wait here since Miles took their car and she didn't have any other way to get home. Plus, she wanted to spend some time with Luna and I.

I grabbed my beautiful, chubby, and little girl and began to feed her bottle. Zoé had told me she'd wait out in the living room while I put Luna to sleep.

Slowly but carefully I began to rock Luna to sleep with our life saving rocking chair. My mother had handed it down from her mother, saying it works like a charm. And let me tell you, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

In ten minutes Luna was out like a light, so I had gently put her into her crib and kissed her good night. Her small amount of brown hair was combed perfectly after her bath. She looked so peaceful in her slumber and pink footie pajamas, it made me smile.

"Good night baby girl. Mommy loves you." I turn on the baby monitor and leave the door left open only by a little.

"Is the bundle of joy asleep?" Zoé smiled and I nodded.

I jumped onto the couch and sighed, taking a sip of my wine and relaxed.

"You know, even though you and Theo aren't on the best of terms I think you guys will be just fine. A bunch of couples get in a lot of arguments and say things they don't mean." Zoé changes the channel and I pull my short, light brown hair into a small pony tail.

"Yeah but how could you be so sure? With all the stress on us from movies and the fight, I feel like it's over. Soon, Allegiant will come to an end and I'll be in a new movie, so will Theo." I bite my lip and Zoé shrugs.

"You'd be surprised at how love works with everyone. Trust me, everything will be okay. I mean seriously, y'all are like soulmates." Zoé grins and I roll my eyes playfully.

A couple of minutes later, Theo and Miles walk in. They don't look drunk, just a bit hazy if anything. Theo looks aggravated, I wonder what I did now.

"I think we may have a problem..." Miles whispers, I look at him confused.

"What happened?" I ask dumbfounded.

"The media happened." Theo turned the T.V on and scrolled to channel 7.

He re-winded the program and the news reporter began to talk about the segment. My mouth hung wide open, Zoé mumbled something like, "Oh shit."

After finishing watching it, I got up and threw my wine glass at the wall. Does the paparazzi have any humanity at all? I'm not one to get easily angry but this? This was unacceptable!

"How dare they broadcast my private discussion across the entire country?" I scream, Zoé and Miles stared at me with wide eyes.

"Shai, just calm down. You might wake Luna up." Theo spoke to me in a hushed voice, trying to relax me.

He may not be pleased with me but he never liked me feeling stressed or angered.

I breathe in and out, focusing on my next move. I run into the kitchen, grabbing my cell phone.

"Shai, what are you doing?" Zoé asked, watching me dial my agent.

"Hello, yes it's Shai. I have a question, can I sue a T.V show if they didn't ask me for permission for something that I wanted private?" I calm myself down.

Miles stares at me, surprised at my actions.

"Perfect." I smile evilly, ready to take action.
