Can't Help Falling In Love

Chapter Three

Shailene's POV

My eyes flutter open to see the morning sun shining through the black curtains.  The events of last night come back to me as I realize I am in Theo's bed.

I try to move but I realize Theo's arm is draped across my waist and he is spooning me.

No. I think. I can't let this happen. He is my costar. If we get together and it ends badly then it would be awkward between us forever.

I manage to wiggle out from under Theo's arm. I place it back on the bed and walk to the bathroom. I realize I have no clothes here, so I decide to run to my apartment to get them.

I quietly tip toe in so I won't wake Michael. He stays with me because it is just easier that way. His room is right near the door so I try to be extra quiet.

I grab a blue crop-top sweater that says Merci Beaucoup (French for "Thank you very much"), jeans, and dark blue vans.

When I walk back to Theo's door I realize I don't have a key. I don't want to wake him so I walk back into my apartment and take a bath.

I always take baths in the morning because it wakes me up for the day.

After my bath I get dressed and comb my hair. I decide to leave it down and let it dry.

As I put down my brush I realize my nails are not painted, so I decide to paint them dark blue to match my outfit.

After about 15 minutes of waiting for them to dry I check my phone. I have 4 missed calls, all from Theo!

I walk to Theo's apartment.

Seconds after I ring he opens the door.

"Shai!" He yells with a sigh of relief. Theo grabs my hand and pulls me into a hug.

"Ummmm.....good morning to you to?" I say.

"I was so worried!" He said. "You were just gone! You didn't answer any calls. I didn't know what happened to you!"

"Theo I was right next door." I laughed.

"You didn't even leave a note!"he seemed a little angered now.

"Theo I'm fine. Your fine. We are all fine." I say calmingly.

He hugs me and doesn't let go for a few seconds.

"I'm sorry." I whisper.

"No it's...." he starts. "I don't know why I am acting like this. It's not like your my girlfriend."

Air gets caught in my throat as I hear him say girlfriend.

I wish I was..... I think longingly. But he just got out of a long relationship, and it would be wrong.

"Would you like me to make breakfast?" I ask.

"Breakfast?" He asks confused. "It is 12:00."

"Already!" I shout. "Theo we are gonna be late!"

"For what?" He yawns. It is then that I realize he is only in his boxers. I blush a little as I take this in. I look him up and down then gulp. He is so muscular, and strong. He is beautiful.
