Freya's POV

"Freddie and you wouldn't be still in contact right?" Romeo asks me. I sit up as I was laying in his bed with my head on his chest.

"Why would you ask?"

"Words out that you guys thinking of getting back together." He says softly. Trying to spare my feelings. Maybe he was trying not to sound jealous. I sigh and climb out of his bed.

"Maybe you should take my word for it rather then others." I say putting on my boots as I sit on the edge of his bed.

"I mean, do you blame me for asking?" He says. His tone changed to a bit more curious now.

"Yes."

"I hardly know where I stand with you. So, you getting back together with him wouldn't be a shocker."

"Look. I would be clear if I was ever to go back to an ex. But my path and that psycho son of bitch will never cross again. I wouldn't be in your bed if I was." I say simpy without anger or frustration. I was done being angry.

"Hold up." He climbs out of bed and stops me from doing my laces. He sits down at the floor and takes my boots off. "I'm sorry I even mentioned." He says rising up kissing my lips. He takes my hand and makes me lay back how I was before I got up. It was nice just hanging out cuddling. I wasn't ready for more. We had a level of understanding. We both were so scared of heartbreak or any betrayal rthat we were taking it so slow.

"You know, I feel like I am torturing you."

"Painful but enjoyable." He chuckles. I lay in his arms as I feel his fingers running through my hair.

"I mean we have been more than friends for so long."

"A month."

"Yet, You're so patient with me."

"You're worth it." He says kissing the side of my head.

"I can't help but feel afraid of betrayal."

"I can understand." He says.

"Because of your ex?" I ask looking up at him. He nods and I lay my head back on his chest. "For some reason everyone I meet or get friendly with I assume is after me or my family."

"I promise I'm not." He says and I chuckle. "I believe you." I tilt my head making it easier for him to kiss me.

"So I won't be calling you my girlfriend any time soon?"

"How about you meet like my siblings?"

"Wow, usually I get the meet my parents. By the way, I already kind of know your siblings?"

"Noah."

"I've seen Emily at the club once? Besides, I knew Noah before I met you."

"Yeah, but I mean like get to know Emily and Marshall."

"You see Marshall as your sibling?"

"Kind of." I say and he chuckles. "Thats nice."

"I'm going to go home now. Its already 2 in the afternoon." I say sitting up. Eventhough I slept over here at his apartment it was just cuddling.

"You still down for dinner before that party?" He asks and I nod.

"Yeah. Maybe we can invite Marshall and Emily." I say and he shrugs.

"Sure." He says getting up. His sweatpants were hanging low on his hips. "Shall I meet you at the restaurant?" He asks and I nod as he walks me to the door of his apartment.
