FIFTY SHADES OF THEO JAMES

Chapter 16

Flying out of LAX, brilliant idea. I mean, this is Los Angeles, Celebrity city. Everyone flew out of LAX meaning there was always going to be someone somewhere with a camera. The second we were dropped off by the car service I could feel the magnifying glass.

"Everyone is looking at us." I muttered as Theo wrapped his arm around me and pulled me into a hug.

The car service man went and grabbed a few trolleys and brought them back before stacking up our luggage.

"Just ignore them." He replied as he released me and grabbed the trolley with his stuff on it. "I do."

I grabbed my trolley and Grace grabbed hers before we started inside to check our bags. The line was longer than I'd like, especially with a gaggle of teenaged girls standing in line behind us. They had their phones out and were taking pictures. I could even hear them talking about how jealous the other girls at school would be when they saw the pictures.

Finally, after forty-eight minutes it was our turn. We quickly checked our bags and then started towards the airport security line which was even longer.

It felt like an eternity had passed before we made it to our terminal. I thought nothing could feel as great as this until more of the main cast started showing up and everyone started gawking at them now. When we boarded the plane and I took my seat in First Class beside Theo I buckled my seatbelt, pulled an eye mask on and put in ear plugs. I hated flying.

I fell asleep within the hour after taking off and was jerked away as we touched down in Seattle. Once we got our bags we went to meet our driver who took us to the Four Seasons on the water front of Seattle.

"This place is insane." I breathed as we stepped through the doors.

The most prestigious hotel I had ever stayed in was a Hilton Inn and even then, it was not as upscale as this. It was literally like we hadn't even left the house.

Theo walked up to the front desk and handed his iPhone to the desk clerk who began typing the room conformation number into her computer. After a few clicks we were given our card keys and then escorted by the bellhop with our luggage on a trolley.

Thankfully the majority of the clientele that stayed at this hotel were wealthy and notable in one way or another so they didn't gawk at us. Here and their eyes grazed over as they looked past us, but other than that we didn't run into any crazed fans.

We were booked in the Presidential Suite on the hotel's 10th floor. From where I stood just inside the foyer I could see the Elliott Bay and Puget Sound from the massive bay windows.  room I froze just past the door step. The place was huge and tastefully decorated with elegantly designed furnishings, original artwork and a impressive looking built-in fireplace.

"Just like home." Theo breathed as he gestured to the bellhop where to put our things.

Before the bellhop left Theo placed a few twenties in his palm and thanked him before he turned back to me.

"Filming doesn't start until tomorrow so we have the rest of the day to do whatever it is you might want to do." He said as I moved closer towards the massive windows.

"What about what you want to do?" I replied as I glanced down at all the activity down on the streets below. "You're going to be the one spending every waking moment working while I'm just ... being. So tell me, what do you want to do, Theo."

He was at my side pushing the massive sliding glass doors open, that I had thought were windows, before he stepped out onto the balcony. I joined his side and listened to the sounds of Seattle.
