The Travellers' Love (COMPLETED)

The One Who Rejects Gets Rejected

Celeste POV

I've been staying at Reece's house since the incident. I miss Gucci and I miss Theo but it would be too much for me to see them right now. Honestly,  I don't know what to do. Reece has been so supportive, kind and loving and honestly, I don't know what I would do with out him.

He usually gets home at 5. It's 4:32 right now and I'm in the bed laying down just thinking. I don't know what to feel or what to think and at this point and it's driving me nuts. Should I go back to Theo? Does he even want me back?

I hear the door open. "Honey, I'm home." I smile at Reece. He always knows how to make me smile. I run to the door and he looks me up and down.

"I love your shirt, looks....airy." He laughs. I look down and realize that I only have underwear on. At this point, I'm too mentally drained to react. So I shrug and go into the kitchen.

He raises his eyebrows. "So, are you just gonna walk around here like that?" I shrug. I try to get to the top shelf. It's where he hides all of the candy.

"Reece, can I have some candy?"

"Not until you put clothes on." He shows up in the kitchen, leaning on the counter.

"Fine." I climb the counter and try to get to reach for the candy.

"Jesus, can you please put on some clothes? I'm still a man you know. " I ignore him and continue to get some. I reach the twizzlers. Once I get them. I sit down and eat them. I swing my legs and look at him.

"I'm giving you thirty seconds to get some sweat pants and a Hoodie on before I do something I won't regret." He starts counting down, I continue eating. I'm starting to crave a lot of foods. I raise my eyebrows at him.

"Oooh, I'm so scared." He walks up to me, grabs my waist and stands in between my legs, he starts kissing me. My mind is like a document that has coffee spilt all over it: you can't read it and you can't do anything with it. This is starting to get heated.

I finally realize what is going on and I push him away. I look past him and I see him nod and walk away only to come back with a shirt and sweatpants. He puts the shirt over my head and I put my hands through while he puts my feet in the jogging pants. I jump down into them. He kisses my forehead and whispers.

"I'm sorry."

I sit on the couch and watch TV. Suddenly, Reece comes out of the room he was in a little mad.

"What the hell is this?!" He shows me an article with a picture of Theo and I on our trip. I swallow, he doesn't know about us. "Isn't this the same asshole who yelled at you?" He looks more mad now.

"Yeah." I manage to croak out. No, we are not dating and I don't owe anything to him but like, he's still my best friend. He sits beside me and runs his hands through his long, luscious hair.

"So when did you guys start talking?"

"After Japan."

"And when you went on that 'trip' with 'friends', it was him wasn't it?" He looks at me in the eyes. I couldn't stand looking at him for long, I look down and nod.

He takes a deep breath in. "Jesus, Celeste. He's an asshole with a rich boy complex, what do u guys possibly have in common...huh. What you guys are both breathing? Does he even really like you?"

Those words hit like a shot through my heart. I forgot to breath for a good 10 seconds.

"I don't want you talking to that little shit anymore, do you hear me?"

"Eh? WATCH your DAMN mouth....OK, YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER OR MY BOYFRIEND. SO STOP ACTING LIKE YOU WANT TO TAME ME OR SOMETHING."  I stand up and glare at him while I'm yelling.

"Ok, I'm sorry. Calm down, look. I really don't want you to get hurt and that seems like one of his specialities."

I hear what he is saying, most of it is right. "I'm sorry for yelling, I just don't know what to do. Everything around me seems like it's falling down and all I can do is sit here and cry as it does, and pray that one day it will go back to normal."

He puts his hands on my cheek and wipes the tears from my eyes. I look into his eyes and it's almost as if his eyes were talking to me. "Look, I like you. A lot. I know you have a lot going on. But at least give me a chance. Please, I'll do anything. I'll never hurt you I swear." My heart starts to race faster. What is happening?

"Just give me some time to give you my answer, please."

"Sure. Hey, how about we go out tomorrow night. You've been in this house for days. If you don't get any sun, how are you supposed to grow?" He kisses my forehead.

"Sure." I hug him and we lay down and cuddle. I doze off listening to his heartbeat as it matches mine.

~The next day~

I wake up in bed with my arms and leg wrapped around Reece. I slowly move off of him 'cause he's still sleeping. I get up and work on all of my hygiene. I come out of the shower and I go in the room to a missing Reece. I go into my suitcase I brought from when I snuck back to get some clothes. I get out a white blouse, black high-waisted wide pant trousers, Gucci mid-length loafers, a colorful handkerchief to tie on my neck and some accessories. I slick my hair back into a braid and I put on minimum makeup. I look nice today. I get ready and go out into the living room and see him sitting there ready to go.

"Where you going?"

"Driving you to work, duh!" He stands and pats my head. We leave and head out for the office. When I arrive I get out and thank him. I get to Mrs. Alan's office as fast as I can. Once I get there, I walk in and once he sees me he practically runs up to me and hugs me .

"Hello sir."  I smile as he lets go.

"I missed you. Man, all of my other assistants were BORING! You feeling better?" He's so cute and childish, he and Theo are opposites.

"I am, thank you for understanding." He nods and we catch up. He tells me about Gucci, all of what I missed and what we need to get done today.

I was on my coffee break when I saw him. Oh no, he runs up to me and tries to hug me but I push him off.

"Celeste?"

"Theo, I thought we went over this." He looks at me as if I'm speaking gibberish.

"Celeste, I really like you. Just give me a chance, how about tonight?"
