Theo's POV~

"Has anyone seen Megan or Shai?" I asked around my house. "Ansel, do you know where Shai and Megan are?"

"Last time I saw, they were going up the stairs."

"Thanks, man." I ran up the stairs.

As I turned the corner I could hear voices coming from my bedroom.

"Shai I don't-" 

"Megan, you can trust me." Why are they in my room? 

As I walked in I saw them sitting on my bed; Shai facing me and Megan sitting opposite of her.

"Get out!" Shai mouthed to me.

"It's my room!" I mouthed back and rested against the doorframe. 

"Honestly, this isn't even a big deal. I'm usually fine around every celebrity that I work with. If anything, it was just hard trying to stay professional with Callie sitting in the corner bringing all of these thoughts into my head. She's always trying to get me back into dating. I've just been so busy with trying to get this job... Maybe I have blocked out my social life since graduating high school, but this job was worth it."

"Yeah, look at you now! You made it." Shai smiled and looked up at me. "What do you think about Theo?"

"Not you too." Megan laughed. 

Wait, what's so funny?

"Okay, I mean sure, he's attractive and I guess the accent is pretty hot too, but Callie's the one saying I like him, not me. Not trying to be rude but I'd just like to get back to the party and enjoy the night without talking about a guy I just met." 

"Sure, let's go downstairs." Shai got up and walked pass me.

As Megan got up and faced me her smile faded a little.

"T-Theo." she pulled a piece of hair behind her ear. "Hey, what's up?"


Megan's POV~

He didn't hear it all, did he? DID HE?

"Hey Meg-" Shai stood at the door with a smirk on her face. "I was going to ask you if you were coming down and eat, but I see you're busy..."

"Actually," I paused and looked at Theo. "I'm not busy. I'll come with you." I got up and walked with Shai.

"So?" Shai winked at me.

"What did you just do?" 

"I thought you would finally confess your undying love for Theo." she laughed.

"What?" I stumbled as I crossed my arms.

"I'm kidding. I just wanted to know why you were so fidgety during the pictures with Theo."

"How much did he hear?"

"Enough to know that you think his accent's pretty hot." she laughed.

"God, let's just get some food please?" I elbowed her.

"Whatever you say." she winked.

We walked out and headed to the dinner tables.


Theo's POV~

"Theo, everyone's ready to eat downstairs." Ansel walked into my room.

"Yeah, I'm coming." I sat up and passed him.

"Way to rush there Theo." he slapped my shoulder.

"Yeah yeah," I mumbled.

Megan thinks I'm attractive huh? 

I collided with someone; sending their plate flying and the both of us to the floor.

"Hey, I'm really sorry about that." I got up and reached my hand up to help the girl up.

"It's fine," she grunted and got up herself. "I wasn't really watching where I was going." she looked up.

Megan.

"I'm sorry. I should probably go. I'll pay you back for that I promise." she rushed past me and ran through the door.


Megan's POV~

Great. JUST GREAT. I just had to bump into Theo and spill my dinner all over his floor. All I wanted was some food, but I, being my awkward self, had to break his plates and leave? I'm so embarrassed. I just need to get my car and drive home.

"YOU BROKE HIS DISHES?!" Callie screamed.

"It was an accident! I told him I'd pay-"

"What did he say?"

"I don't know, I left."

"WHY DID YOU LEAVE?"

"I SAID I DON'T KNOW CALLIE." I sighed.

"He probably has the same plates in his kitchen. You shouldn't have left!"

"Why are you making this such a big deal?"

"I'm not the one that ran out remember?"

"I WAS EMBARRASSED OKAY?" I snapped.

"Who wouldn't be?"

"That isn't all." I groaned.

"What the hell happened tonight?" she looked at me.

"Theo just overheard me telling Shailene that I thought he was pretty attractive... And he had a hot accent."

"Well, it could be worse."

"I find that hard to believe after tonight."

"So, you bumped into the host of the party, knocked him down, and broke his dishes. Oh, I see."

"Do you have to repeat it?"

"You should go back." Callie sat up.

"Are you crazy? No!"

"Oh come on, don't tell me that you don't want to apologize for tonight? Breaking the dishes I mean."

"You aren't helping me-" I was interrupted by a knock on the door. 

"We're continuing this conversation later!" Callie got up to open the door. "Oh, hi. It's Theo right?"
