No. Yes. No. Yes. I don't know.

Do I let him read it?

Oh, gosh. I need to answer now.

"It's not finished." I say fast. "You can read it when it's done." I smile and he smiles back and we continue watching the show.

Theo not liking after reading my writing is not only reason why I'm not letting him see it. It's because I've never let anyone ever see it.

--TIME LAPSE (NEXT DAY)--

It's Sunday night and me and Theo have a date. We are going to the movies to see Fantastic Four (a/n: let's just pretend that Fantastic Four came out this time lol) Miles is in it and Theo wanted to go see it and we both really wanted to see it.

We walk into the movie theater, holding hands. Theo is hoping that no one recognizes him and I'm hoping so, too.

Me and Theo get some popcorn and then we walk into the room where the movie will be shown. We sit down and there are not that many people here. There are a view people, though.

The movie plays and I have my head on Theo's shoulder and he has his arm wrapped around me, playing with my hair. We are eating the popcorn and I have a handful and for some reason we just eat out my hand and every once in a while I grab a new handful. I am eating a piece but I drop it in Theo's lap. We look at each other and he takes a piece of popcorn from my hand and pretends to drop in his mouth but it actually falls on my face.

We laugh at each other, quietly. Then, all of a sudden, five seconds later, we are quietly throwing popcorn at each other and laughing.

I'm pretty sure some people see the flying popcorn coming from our seats because now me and Theo are grabbing handfuls of popcorn and throwing it at each other.

Soon, all of the popcorn is gone so we stop and just laugh. I lay my head back on Theo's shoulder and Theo goes back to playing with my hair.

After the movie, me and Theo stand up and see all of the popcorn in the floor and in our seats and all of the popcorn that fell on the floor from our laps when we stood up. We laughed and then turned around to one of the workers looking at us.

"Sorry." We say at the same time and walk away fast.

We run out of the theater and run to Theo's jeep. We get in and drive away. A few minutes down the road, I realize something.

"Wait, why did we even run?" I ask, laughing.

"I have no idea." He says, laughing as well. This just makes us both laugh even more.

We get to my apartment and ride the elevator up to the fifth floor, where my apartment is. We stand in front of my apartment door and we just stand there, holding each other's hands and swaying.

"I had a really great time tonight." Theo says, smiling like a kid in a candy store.

I smile back, "I did too."

Theo leans in, slowly. I get nervous but, then again, I get excited.

Theo's lips are placed on mine and he kisses me and I kiss back. We let each other's hands go and Theo wraps his arms around my wait and pulls me closer and I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer.

A few moments later, we pull apart but our arms are still in the same places. We smile at each other and laugh.

I sigh, "Well, I should go to bed, I have to be at work in the morning at like eight." I pout my lips out like a puppy dog because I really don't want to leave this moment.

He does the same facial expression and then laughs and I laugh, too. "Yeah, I gotta get to bed, too. I have to be on set pretty early." He says.

"Coffee break tomorrow?" I ask with a smirk.

"Coffee break." He confirms with a nod of his head. We smile at each other.

"Alright," I sigh. "I'll see you tomorrow." I peck him on the lips. We stop holding each other and I turn to unlock my door.

"Okay, see you tomorrow. Love you." He says and kisses my cheek. I smile at him and he smiles back and he walks away.

I walk inside my apartment and close the door behind me. I lean on the door and cross my arms and smile and then I stop smiling because of what I realize.

My face turns into pure shock.

I put my foot on the ground and raise up from the door a little.

Did Theo just say he loves me?

~T H E O~

I'm standing in front of the elevators, wailing on the doors to open but as they open, I realize something.

I just said I love you to Blake.

a/n: who wants me to update soon because this story is just getting good lol?!
