Sheo's Story

Chapter Sixty-Nine

Theo's POV:
Shai and I are sitting together in bed, both on the phone to our mother's, looking at each other wishing they would hang up. Having this much alone time has made even a phone call too much of an interruption. Although I know as soon as we're both off the phone I'm going to have to talk to her about the mystery number. She keeps rolling her eyes at me as her mum continues to ask hundreds of questions, and I smile as mine's telling me exactly how I'm supposed to treat Shai for the rest of my life, as I didn't already know. I tell her I have to go, as me and Shai have something special planned, as much of a lie as it is, I wish it was true. I hang up and wait patiently for Shai to be finished. 

Finally once we're both alone again, she kisses me and curls up into my arms. "I love you." She whispers and it makes it so much harder to ruin this perfect moment. I tighten my arms and take a deep breath. "I need to show you something," I pull out my phone and give it to her open on the message, she reads and looks up at me blankly. "Do you know who it's from?" She asks, and I shake my head. I can see in her eyes she understands why it's worrying now. This could be anyone, set out to make us miserable, but I'm not scared about that I'm scared about Shai. I'm scared she'll get worried and want to make us a secret again or do something crazy. But to my surprise, she gently throws my phone onto a pile of clothes on the floor and shakes her head, "we're not going to worry about this now, chances are they're just a crazy fan fallen for your obvious charm and good looks" she winks and laughs a little, and continues, "I married you Theo because no matter what happens I will love you through it, and that's just what we'll do, we'll fix this together... At home."

A couple of hours had passed and I was still slightly shocked about Shai's reaction, it was almost as if she felt she had bigger things to worry about. We lay in bed talking about anything and everything and doing everything we feel like. After all we're not here for much longer and as soon as we're back to reality getting precious time like this will be hard. We sent some postcards out today to our friends to thank them for the wedding gifts, and we've been recording parts of our journey each day on a video recorder to look back on one day and always remember. 

Shai's POV:

I'm not going to lie, Theo's text did creep me about a bit, but I could tell just by the tone of his voice that he was more worried about it than me, and I couldn't have him trying to look after me as well as controlling his own emotions as well, besides, sometimes it's important to know yourself what's going on before you share with other people. God knows that's what I'm doing.

Theo has a gentle snore when he sleeps and although it would annoy most people, I've grown to become slightly dependant on it, like some people have to sleep with the radio on, I love hearing him next to me. I always take in nights when he sleeps first to just admire him, as I rarely get the chance to just sit and appreciate the man whom I am lucky enough to have fallen in love with. Hopefully he loves us as much as I do.
